Chapter 1416: Accompany Me to the Zhang Family

Although all the techniques in the Technique Forest were extremely powerful, tracing their origins, they were all based on the inheritance of Li Sheng and others.

For this reason, once a technique of the ancient sage level appeared, the consciousness on the stone tablets would automatically be suppressed, filled with awe...

This Master Zhang took a turn, and the text changed like this. Could it be that he had cultivated a technique of this level?

For this reason, he looked down on other techniques, and his so-called learning was merely borrowing?

"Has Master Yang already reached this level?"

He speculated in his heart, filled with reverence.

This Zhang Xuan was Master Yang's student. Being able to learn a technique of this level indicated that Master Yang might have reached this realm, or... obtained the true inheritance of an ancient sage.

Either way, it was not something he could presumptuously speculate about.

"This matter must never be leaked..."

Raising his eyebrows, Master Zhan secretly warned himself.

If his guess was true, when Zhang Xuan came out, he must be sure to instruct him not to casually reveal his technique; otherwise, if discovered by the alien clans or some malicious professionals, his life would be in danger.

Although he had now reached true Saint Domain Ninth Layer, he was actually only a half-step Nine-Star master teacher. True Nine-Star was an existence beyond Saint Domain Ninth Layer.

Reaching this level of strength was said to allow one to undergo tempering by the fire of heaven and earth, purifying both body and soul, and even extending one's lifespan.

This level of cultivation was already immune to all poisons; even if one had been poisoned before, the flames could burn it clean, leaving no trace.

For this reason, he had always wanted to break through over the years, but unfortunately... after so long, he hadn't even reached the middle stage of Saint Domain Ninth Layer.

At this realm, any slight improvement was a huge leap, no longer as easy as before.

Creak!

Just as he was sighing inwardly, he saw the door of the quiet room open, and a figure walked out.

"Master Zhang, your... strength!"

Turning to look, his eyes immediately went wide. Master Zhan's body swayed, almost falling directly.

He had only been inside for about two hours. How had his cultivation... jumped from half-step Domain Realm directly to the peak of Domain Realm?

This was equivalent to advancing a major level, far too fast!

"I had some insights, so I broke through a bit faster. It might get slower in the future..."

Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan explained.

The Heavenly Way technique, combined with sufficient spirit stones, indeed progressed terrifyingly fast, but as cultivation grew higher, the speed of progress had clearly slowed compared to before. Saying this wasn't a lie.

"Fast breakthroughs in cultivation are good, but you must also pay attention to moderation. Too fast can easily make your true energy unstable..."

Full of shock, after a while, Master Zhan still advised.

Some people who underwent infusion, bloodline activation, or special physiques progressed very quickly, reaching the peak of their cultivation in a short time. But if they did so, their cultivation would become somewhat unstable, making further progress extremely difficult.

It was like someone winning the lottery; it would be hard for them to continue working a routine job.

If the gap was too large, the mindset couldn't bear it.

For this reason, even when activating bloodlines or physiques, normally one would advance one or several levels, then pause for a while to consolidate their cultivation and perfectly exert their strength before continuing to break through.

"I know. I've already consolidated at half-step Domain Realm for over a day. That's not a short time; it's time to break through..."

Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.

"One day?" His face twitching, Master Zhan almost fell over, unable to help looking over: "How long did you consolidate at Saint Domain Fifth Layer?"

Half-step Domain Realm—normal top geniuses needed several years to stabilize. You did it in about a day... and you had a matter-of-fact expression. Wasn't this too discouraging?

"Saint Domain Fifth Layer... I spent a bit more time there, about twenty-some days. I broke through to Out-of-Body Realm on the day I entered the Saint Child Hall..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan said.

"Twenty-some days..."

Staggering again, Master Zhan looked over: "Then... from the start of your cultivation until now, roughly how long has it taken?"

"From the start of cultivation?"

Not expecting the other to ask this, Zhang Xuan calculated: "About thirteen months, a little over a year!"

If he hadn't crossed over to a small place like Tianxuan Kingdom, but had been in the Saint Child Hall, he might have reached his current strength in just a month.

That was thirteen times longer...

Just thinking about it made him feel frustrated.

"..." Master Zhan suddenly didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

Thirteen months, from a martial artist to the peak of Saint Domain Sixth Layer... This speed was far faster than even the Little Princess of the Luo family, and this guy's expression seemed to suggest he thought it was too slow...

Was he shameless?

"By the way, Master Zhan, do you have any technique manuals for Saint Domain Seventh Layer? Could you lend me some to look at?"

Ignoring what the other was thinking, Zhang Xuan said.

Since his cultivation had reached the peak of Domain Realm, he might as well see if there were any books left. He had collected techniques for entering Void Realm, and he still had two top-grade spirit stones. He might as well break through.

It was better than being idle.

"Techniques for Saint Domain Seventh Layer? I don't have any of that level on me. But if you want to see them, you can still go to the Puppet Lane. Clear the关卡 and you'll be given a chance to choose a manual..."

Master Zhan shook his head and said.

With his strength, techniques for Saint Domain Seventh Layer were useless, so naturally he didn't carry them around.

"Oh!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had been to the Puppet Lane once, and now the entire lane was in ruins. He really didn't have the face to go again.

But since the other didn't have any, he didn't press further. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Master Zhan raise an eyebrow, and with a flick of his wrist, a communication jade talisman appeared in his palm.

"What does he want from me?"

Glancing at the jade talisman, Master Zhan frowned. He tapped it with his finger, and his expression became even stranger: "He's not looking for me, but... wants to see you!"

"See me?"

Zhang Xuan was startled: "Who?"

"Jian Qinsheng!" Master Zhan said.

"Him?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

Jian Qinsheng was the descendant of the fourth hall master, Jian Liushui. Zhang Xuan had learned the Flowing Water Sword Technique from him.

After beating him up last time, there had been no news. Why was he suddenly looking for him today, and even sending a message to Master Zhan?

"Let's go out. He's waiting outside..."

Master Zhan said.

"Alright!"

Not knowing the other's purpose, but feeling grateful for allowing him to read books for free, which led to his current swordsmanship, Zhang Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse to meet him.

The two quickly left the inner courtyard and indeed saw Jian Qinsheng standing in a pavilion by the pond. Seeing them arrive, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew over.

"Acting Hall Master, Master Zhang!"

Cupping his fists, Jian Qinsheng looked over.

"What business does Senior have with me?"

After exchanging greetings and a few pleasantries, Zhang Xuan asked.

"Well... there is something I'd like to trouble you with!"

After a pause, looking a bit embarrassed, Jian Qinsheng spoke.

"Master Zhang... would you accompany me to the Zhang Family?"
