Chapter 1421: Great Opportunity

Immediately, Lone Man nodded. You guessed right, well...yes, there is indeed a great opportunity in the lower world that can make you a Supreme Saint.

Before a smile formed on Lin Xuns face, Lone Man continued, Unfortunately, you still have some way to go before achieving it. In other words, it is very difficult for you to seize this opportunity.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. What makes you say that?

Lone Man sighed, Do you think its that easy to become a Supreme Saint? If we dont look at anything else, then your current qi refinement cultivation is just barely good enough. It is at the level of the seventh longevity tribulation. In particular, your spirit cultivation can be regarded as the best on the longevity path. But your physical refinement cultivation is lacking. It is only at the level of the second longevity tribulation stage. Although its foundation is stable and solid, it still needs proper training and refinement.

If Im not mistaken, you practice the Nine Pure Saint Body Art of the Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Clan and the secret physical refinement art passed down by the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor. You must be aware that those two arts are both precious inheritances that could shake the world. If you had practiced just one of them then perhaps your physical refinement path would be much easier.

But you hold both of them. Do you know what this means?

To put it simply, its called biting off more than you can chew. If youre unable to master both of those two secret arts and make them your own, then it will become a flaw of yours and prevent you from reaching the door of Supreme Sainthood!

Physical refinement, Saints Body.

Qi refinement, Saints Qi.

Spirit cultivation, Saints Spirit.

Although the three ways to the absolute apex all lead to the same goal, it is not a simple matter to practice all three before becoming a Saint.

For example, the Taboo Dao Tribulation is the most dangerous heavenly barrier in your way!

At this point, Lone Man seemed to feel thirsty, so he picked up a wine bottle and chugged a good amount before he smacked his lips and continued talking.

If this happened in the ancient era then it would not be a problem at all, because the so-called Taboo Dao Tribulation did not exist back then.

If you had done it before the great age came, then it would have been no different from seeking death.

Fortunately, the great age has come. The order of heaven and earth has massively changed, and the origin has been revived. Even if you simultaneously practice all three paths of cultivation, there is hope of succeeding.

Although there is hope, given your current strength, if you do not quickly correct your shortcomings in physical refinement, then you likely wont even survive the Taboo Dao Tribulation. Keep dreaming if you think you can become a Supreme Saint now.

Lone Man swept a glance over Lin Xun and continued, So, what you have to do now is not to think about how to become a Supreme Saint, but how to overcome the Taboo Dao Tribulation.

While listening to the lengthy speech, Lin Xuns expression repeatedly changed. It felt like a wake up call for him

Everything had been going smoothly for him ever since he returned to the lower world from the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He had never once encountered any setbacks in his cultivation or the way he handled affairs.

So unknowingly, he had lost his vigilance.

This kind of vigilance was directed at his cultivation path, and it was a kind of an acknowledgement of the dangers and risks he would have to face during his cultivation.

In cultivation, one must not only have a dauntless spirit and not shrink from dangers ahead, but also fight cautiously as if you were walking on thin ice. When Lone Man said this, his expression was rather solemn and serious.

Then, he said proudly, Well, am I right in saying you are biting off more than you can chew?

Lin Xun originally felt a surge of gratitude and admiration, but when he saw the smug look on Lone Mans face, those feelings immediately faded and he said calmly, Only when you look far ahead will you know where your goal is and not be lost while searching for it or take a wrong turn. How can this be called biting off more than I can chew?

Hey, then tell me how far do you see? Lone Man said in a thick-skinned manner as he put the alcohol bottle to his lips.

A thought struck Lin Xun. He suddenly remembered a realm he comprehended when he passed the eighth trial of the Great Azure Cloud Path. Between existence and non-existence, life and death are created. If ones heart can contain the universe, one will have power over the universe.

Pu!

Lone Man coughed out the alcohol in his mouth, spraying it everywhere. The strain of the violent cough made his thin face red and his hands tremble.

He gazed at Lin Xun like he was looking at a monster, Who told you that?

He could not believe that at Lin Xuns level, he could comprehend the realm of creating something from nothing which was something that even Emperor Stage cultivators rarely grasped!

Lin Xun looked puzzled. Do I need someone to tell me that?

Lone Mans expression changed, and he studied Lin Xun suspiciously, Did you really grasp it yourself?

The stare from Lone Mans cloudy eyes made Lin Xun feel uncomfortable for the first time. He felt as though all the secrets inside and outside his body had been seen through.

He couldnt help but frown, Is there something wrong with this realm? Or perhaps it is an already proven wrong path?

Lone Man exhaled a breath of turbid air and murmured, Kid, if you didnt lie to me, then you have indeed looked far enough ahead...Ah, monster, theres nothing I can say...

He shook his head, and when he looked at Lin Xun again, his gaze had become much gentler. There is nothing wrong with the realm you comprehended. One day you will understand, but now, I can only tell you thatit is too complicated. The great dao is formless but boundless, and it is impossible to fathom its mystery without exploring it yourself.

At that moment, Zhao Jingxuan put away the jade slip in her hand. She had memorized its contents. With a distracted look on her face, she murmured, Lin Xun, I may not be able to accompany you to the Blood Kill Battlefield...

Lin Xun was taken aback. Why?

Cultivation level is not good enough. Lone Man uttered lightly, Most importantly, the opportunities in that place are too great for her to reach.

Zhao Jingxuan smiled bitterly, Indeed.

She was currently at the fourth longevity tribulation stage, and according to what was said in the jade slip left by her father, she must possess a cultivation base of at least the seventh longevity tribulation stage if she wanted to head to the land of great opportunity in the Blood Kill Battlefield.

If she was not strong enough, then even if she went there, she would fail to obtain any opportunity.

The opportunities there were so great that even Saints would go crazy over them!

Lin Xun frowned, Even if you cant obtain any opportunity, you can just go and check it out, isnt that right?

Go and check it out? Lone Man laughed. Kid, should I say that you are too arrogant or that you are too ignorant? I can tell you now that even if you go there, you will not be able to reach some of those great opportunities. This is because they are simply beyond your reach now and have nothing to do with you.

What kind of opportunities are there exactly? Lin Xun furrowed his brows.

Lone Mans eyes were unfathomable as he explained, If a True Saint grasped one they can become a Big Saint. If a Big Saint grasped one, they could become a Saint-King. If a Saint-King grasped one then

Emperor? Lin Xuns heart pounded.

Lone Man chuckled out loud, neither confirming nor denying it.

Even Zhao Jingxuan gasped out loud. The opportunities were indeed too great, so great that she knew she couldnt grasp it given her current cultivation level.

Lin Xun felt his scalp tingle. There must be many people at the Saint Stage competing for such great opportunities, isnt that right?

Lone Man nodded with a smile.

Big Saint? Saint King? Or Quasi-Emperor?

Lone Man was still smiling. They are all possible.

Lin Xun smiled wryly. Then, if I go, its no different from seeking death? A group of tigers are fighting for food. As for me, I am just an ant. Even if I am ignored, I will likely be accidentally trampled to death by the tigers.

Lone Man put away his smile and stated in a serious tone, No, in front of those big guys, you are worse than an ant.

Lin Xun stared at him speechlessly.

Elder, its not nice to hurt people like that, Zhao Jingxuan said coldly.

Lone Man laughed, Hey, its just a joke. Dont take it seriously. There is nothing definite in this world. Since your father told this kid to go, how would he not take good care of him?

Zhao Jingxuans expression eased.

And Lin Xun realized that the emperor must have made some sort of arrangement and would not just let him walk into deaths hands!

Go. I have told you what I need to tell you. Come back in ten days and I will send you off to the Blood Kill Battlefield.

Lone Man waved his hand dismissively.

My father said that the Heavenly Seer of the stargazing platform will arrange for me to go to the Return Dominion. If I go there, I can also see Toady.

After leaving Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House, Zhao Jingxuan and Lin Xun walked side by side along the bustling streets.

Not long after returning to the lower world, Toady left on his own and went to the Dao Burial Sea Mound in the depths of Spirit Burial Sea to search for clues about his background.

He had promised Lin Xun and the others to reunite in half a year, and now, the date was drawing close.

Only then did Lin Xun learn that the emperor had already made arrangements for Zhao Jingxuan, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, Thats good.

So you can head to the Blood Kill Battlefield without worry. When you get there, dont try to show off and just follow my fathers arrangements for everything, Zhao Jingxuan reminded him in a gentle voice.

Yes, you too, the Return Dominion is extremely mysterious and unpredictable...

Zhao Jingxuan interrupted with a smile, We went there together back then, how would I not know? Dont worry!

Very quickly, the two arrived at the stargazing platform.

A servant had already been waiting and came over to greet the two.

At the top of the stargazing platform, the Heavenly Seer called Lin Xun over alone and asked, Do you remember our conversation here just before you went to the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

Lin Xun nodded. I remember.

The Heavenly Seers eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea, yet as bright and clear as the sky. At that time, I performed a divination for you to see whether your future would be good or bad, but do you know what I saw?

Lin Xun narrowed his dark eyes.

Heavenly Seer continued, The road ahead of you is shrouded with dense fog and cant be seen at all.

His voice was low, gravely, and full of vicissitudes.

But behind you, the sky and the earth had collapsed and all was destroyed; everything ceased to exist!

Lin Xun froze, light surging in his eyes. Elder, what does that mean?

That was what I saw, and even I cant understand it.

His complicated expression launched a library of wrinkles on his face. Im telling you this now because I want you to know that the path of changing your fate against heavens will...is not easy. You must tread carefully in the future.
