In the audience, Mu Qiuniang frowned slightly and asked Zhan Jingshu softly, "When you were in the Master, were your brothers like this too?"
Zhan Jingshu shook his head, "Master, rest assured, the disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect are much more spirited than those on stage. This kind of disposable arena is specially crafted for them, and every month Artifact Refining Peak needs to produce a lot of new goods."
Mu Qiuniang nodded slightly. She felt that it was necessary to ask Gong Xihe about the specific situation. If those people were just exceptions, it would be fine, but if the disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect couldn’t even match Lei Qianhua, then there’s no point in pursuing Immortal Cultivation.
With this kind of cultivation, let alone Ascension, even living a few more years would be difficult.
The tournant started off grandly but ended in such an "anticlimactic" manner, much to everyone’s surprise.
Even the people from the Hidden Immortal Sect were surprised. Was this the kind of "toy" given to won? Without even the courage to fight, how could they pursue cultivation? No wonder they were sent as "toys"!
Perhaps, even Jiang Nuo himself did not expect to win so "bafflingly."
He thought the Cultivation World was so formidable that he would have to fight hard to win. Turns out, that’s all there was!
He was a bit smug, jumped off the stage, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at Mu Qiuniang, "Wife, I won!" He grinned, looking a bit silly.
Mu Qiuniang was a bit helpless, "Had enough fun? If you’re interested in competitions, there are also tournants in the Master. You can practice there when you have nothing to do! I’ll make sure the disciples below won’t intentionally hold back."
"Wife, I just finished a tournant!" Jiang Nuo lanted.
Although he was confident, he had no idea that there was no one in the entire Hidden Immortal Sect who could beat him. One of Mu Qiuniang’s disciples, Zhan Jingshu, alone could beat him badly.
Alas... This ti he ascended to the Enlightennt Stage and thought he had the strength to battle Zhan Jingshu. Taking advantage of his wife preparing for the Nascent Soul Ceremony, he secretly sparred with Zhan Jingshu, only to be utterly defeated.
Even though both were at the Enlightennt Stage, he was simply stronger!
"How are you so good at fighting?" Jiang Nuo sighed on the spot.
Zhan Jingshu innocently replied, "There are many senior figures in the Master, they’re especially enthusiastic, and I’m invited every day." aning he was ambushed daily, and if he wasn’t more agile, he’d be in serious trouble.
Jiang Nuo said, "Should I stay with you in the Hidden Immortal Sect?"
"Isn’t Master still busy with lots of work?"
"Yes, but you’ve beco so powerful, I can’t keep up, and I’m anxious!"
"Master, you’ve already beco very formidable, rember, you were so lacking in aptitude back then, you couldn’t even beat Ah Rong, but now I think Ah Rong is no longer your match. You can’t compare with , my situation is rather special, Master, you know that."
"I know." Wasn’t it just Innate Spiritual Energy? I’m even the son of the Heavenly Dao! However, Jiang Nuo did not say this.
But now, with his wife suggesting he participate in the Hidden Immortal Sect’s tournants, he was intrigued.
Though he might lose, he’s only been cultivating for a few months, and losing is normal. The key is that he could learn while losing and improving, which was the main goal.
In the current Cultivation World, not everyone perford as poorly as on the arena. Otherwise, why cultivate at all? Those few were special cases, as they were nurtured perforrs by their families, ant for entertainnt, so how could they be taught real skills?
Lei Qianhua was different, he was the eldest of the Lei Family and never received inferior cultivation resources. The problem was, given his status, there were hardly any who dared to truly face him in battle. Being pampered by everyone left him unable to recognize his shortcomings and learn more skills.
Lei Qianhua lost due to lack of experience.
The unexpected situations he had never encountered led to his terrible defeat.
Though it was Mu Qiuniang’s Nascent Soul Ceremony, she actually had little to do, with everything arranged by the Master, she just needed to show up at the ti.
With ti to spare, she sat in the cave mansion to ditate while Jiang Nuo was busy, asking Zhan Jingshu to take him around the Hidden Immortal Sect, visiting various cultivation "seniors." Of course, the way of visiting usually involved a spar, after which he shalessly asked seniors for "Cultivation Notes."
Every senior encountered various problems during cultivation and took notes for future generations.
However, not every senior was generous enough to allow all disciples to consult them. So, with peculiar tempers, would only share if they liked you.
Even as Mu Qiuniang’s husband, Jiang Nuo was no exception.
He was her husband, not Mu Qiuniang herself. If he wanted to use seniority to press them, he could, and they’d comply, but they’d feel uncomfortable, potentially causing trouble for him later.
But if he approached simply as Jiang Nuo, perhaps others would view him more favorably, give him a test, and provide what he desired afterward.
After a few interactions, Jiang Nuo discovered that the aged elders and elder won of the Hidden Immortal Sect were particularly interesting. They could always see things from different perspectives and propose new ideas unheard of before.
Unlike soone like Mu Qiuniang, who was "untainted by the Mortal World, focused only on cultivation," these individuals had endured much in life, collecting experiences that far surpassed those of an "Hidden World powerhouse" like Mu Qiuniang.
To put it bluntly, Mu Qiuniang was truly a "rare breed" in the Cultivation World. Others, after decades of cultivation, showed signs of wear, yet she was like a young girl untouched by worldly matters, always maintaining a naive heart.
Generally, few achieve this, but Mu Qiuniang did.
This wasn’t intentional or due to any deliberate training from her master; it was simply a peculiar result of her singular focus on "cultivation," ignoring all outside matters for hundreds of years.
It was no wonder that when Jiang Nuo first encountered her, he mistook her for an inexperienced young girl. However, this young girl was peculiar herself, not entirely clueless. Those eyes, almost penetrating all, left no secrets hidden, yet she seed like a blank canvas, untouched by ink.
At first contact, you’d find her simple, but gradually, you’d find her extraordinarily mysterious. In this contradictory aura, there was always sothing that drew you to discover more. The deeper you delve, the more enchanted you beco.
In the past, Jiang Nuo’s understanding of the Cultivation World ca either from Mu Qiuniang or ancient texts. Now, with Zhan Jingshu’s guidance and contact with those "seniors," his perception of the Cultivation World beca more comprehensive, rich, and detailed.
Slowly, the Cultivation World ford its own outline in his mind.
