45: Chapter Forty Five : Love Sees No Flaws 45: Chapter Forty Five : Love Sees No Flaws Chapter Forty Five : Love Sees No Flaws After Fang Luo finished that match, the rest of the tournant beca a breeze.
Whether it was rogue cultivators or those from various minor and major factions—without exception—they all surrendered.
After all, he had one-shotted soone in the Profound Core Realm.
What hope did these Spirit Infusion cultivators have?
Just like that, Fang Luo locked in a spot among the top fifteen, securing his qualification.
At the sa ti, both he and the Fang family caught the attention of many powerful factions.
Quite a few forces approached Fang Luo, offering generous terms in an attempt to recruit him.
Even the Sixth Princess extended an invitation—she wanted him to enlist in the army, join her legion, and beco one of her top generals.
Wanbao Pavilion also offered exceedingly favorable conditions, inviting him to serve as one of their consecrated protectors.
In short, except for the Grand Void Sect (with whom Fang Luo had clashed) and the Seven Star Gate (who held a grudge against the Fang family), nearly everyone extended an olive branch.
But Fang Luo declined every offer—without exception.
The selection tournant lasted a total of three days.
In the end, the fifteen who earned entry into the Azure Dragon Secret Realm were confird.
The distribution among factions was roughly the sa as in previous years.
Fang Luo, however, was unanimously acknowledged as the biggest dark horse of the tournant.
The most embarrassed party?
The Seven Star Gate.
In past tournants, they’d almost always had at least one disciple make the top fifteen.
But this ti, thanks to their targeting of Fang Luo, the Ninth Prince deliberately matched them against him.
Not only did they fail to kill him—they lost their own.
A complete backfire.
After a day of rest, the qualified prodigies gathered to set out for the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Leading them was one of the most renowned figures in the imperial capital: King Zhenwu—a giant among giants.
Fang Ting looked up.
King Zhenwu had a refined, scholarly aura—he looked like a gentle and cultured academic.
But his presence was deep as the ocean, his gaze razor-sharp and soul-piercing.
Every gesture radiated imnse pressure.
This was one of the mightiest beings in the Great Qi Dynasty—an existence above all others.
A single word or decision from him could affect the fate of millions.
“Let’s go,” he said casually.
Yet everyone present heard him loud and clear.
The entrance to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm lay a hundred and fifty miles east of the capital.
At his command, the entire group moved out, rushing eastward.
When they arrived, King Zhenwu was already waiting in the air, forming hand seals continuously.
A mont later, mysterious arcane runes manifested in the sky.
RUMBLE!!
With a thunderous roar, a rift thirty feet wide suddenly appeared overhead—like a smooth mirror shattering.
The crack revealed a pitch-black void.
“The eighty of you with entry tokens—proceed through the spatial rift into the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Once inside, you’ll be randomly transported to different areas.
The secret realm will reopen in ninety days.
Activate your jade token to exit.” Each qualifier held a specially crafted jade token required to return.
As soon as King Zhenwu finished speaking, the royals entered first.
The royal family had twenty spots, mostly taken by royal descendants and children of highly rewarded ministers.
The Lingyue Sect, Grand Void Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion followed closely behind.
Soon, all eighty participants entered the secret realm.
King Zhenwu slowly lowered his hands, and the rift in the sky vanished as if it had never existed.
He exhaled deeply.
Even soone of his caliber had expended considerable effort opening the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Ti flowed differently inside.
Ninety days in the realm was only three days in the real world.
So they only needed to return in three days.
Fang Ting quietly asked, “You’ve been to the capital before.
Is there anywhere worth visiting?” Had Su Xinyan not been around, Fang Ting would likely have headed straight to the red-light district, curious to see how the capital handled entertainnt.
“There is one place,” Su Xinyan replied.
Fang Ting’s interest piqued.
“Oh?
Where?” “Let’s talk on the way.” Su Xinyan began to explain.
“In the capital, there’s a mountain called Dao-Comprehension Peak.
A thousand years ago, the Great Qi Dynasty invited nurous top-tier cultivators to its summit to discuss the Dao and clash through their respective concepts.” “The summit still holds towering stone tablets imprinted with remnants of those cultivators’ insights.
Even now, those traces remain.” “Every year during this ti, the mountain opens to the public.
All cultivators are allowed to ascend and study the concepts left behind.” Fang Ting was mildly disappointed.
He thought it might’ve been so fun destination—but it turned out to be cultivation-related again.
Once a cultivator reached the Profound Core Realm—the middle three realms—they could begin to comprehend Intents (意境).
Intents could be realized either through extensive combat and enlightennt or by studying the imprints of other powerful cultivators.
Su Xinyan possessed a Yimu Spirit Physique, one of the top-ranked constitutions among spirit bodies—one of the reasons she was once hailed as Lingyue Sect’s most gifted disciple.
She had comprehended the Yimu Sword Intent early, and had already reached Great Accomplishnt in it.
Intent comprehension progresses through: Seed → Minor Accomplishnt → Great Accomplishnt → Perfection Between two equally matched cultivators, the one who had grasped Intent would always have the upper hand.
More importantly, only by reaching Great Accomplishnt in Intent could one break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Heavenly Palace Realm.
Even if soone reached peak Nascent Soul without Intent mastery, they would remain stuck for life.
In other words, mastering Intent was a prerequisite to advance into the Heavenly Palace Realm.
Though one could begin comprehending Intents in the Profound Core Realm, most cultivators only began in the Purple Mansion Realm.
Only prodigies with exceptional talent could do so earlier.
Su Xinyan herself had achieved this feat—comprehending Intent in the Profound Core Realm, reaching Minor Accomplishnt in the Purple Mansion Realm, and Great Accomplishnt in the Nascent Soul Realm.
She was now in early-stage Nascent Soul Realm.
Once she reached the peak, she could break through directly.
Su Xinyan said, “You’re already in the late stage of the Profound Core Realm.
It’s the perfect ti to comprehend an Intent—don’t miss the opportunity.” She herself had comprehended Intent at this stage.
Fang Ting gave an awkward laugh.
“Is this just love-blinded admiration?
She’s really overestimating …” “Only prodigies with top-tier comprehension can grasp Intent at the Profound Core Realm.
Even though I have a flawless spirit body, when it cos to comprehension, I’m still no match for Lingyue Sect’s elite disciples.” Still, how could a proud man admit defeat so easily?
He decided to give it a shot.
With Su Xinyan leading the way, Fang Ting returned to the capital and headed toward Dao-Comprehension Peak.
The royal family opened the peak to all during this annual window, allowing all dynastic cultivators to ascend and study the stone tablet Intents.
Thus, they weren’t alone—many other cultivators were making their way toward the mountain at the sa ti.
