Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 638 - 292 Flawless Immortal Path, Demons Love Mortals_1

After leaving the Sonic Sect, Wang Xiu did not stop. Instead, he went to the Manipulation Sect.

There, he saw Mo Wuwei. She was still the same as she had always been: unconcerned with her appearance, dressed shabbily, and sitting on the ground fiddling with her puppets, yet exuding a wild, unusual beauty.

Seeing Wang Xiu, she froze for a long time. Already a person of few words, she was now completely speechless, her delight mixed with an awkward nervousness. She was like a child caught off guard by a birthday surprise.

Decades had passed. Like Qin Guangling, she had become a pillar of her sect. In the art of puppetry, her skill had already surpassed that of the Manipulation Sect's leader. Furthermore, due to her continuous improvements and research into new Soul Fighting Machines, she had become famous throughout the Nine Provinces. She was now a leading figure in the world of puppetry, even more celebrated than the Saint Heir from the Xuanji Cave Heaven.

Long lines of people snaked before the Manipulation Sect's Reception Hall. Countless people had traveled from all corners of the world, hoping to meet this genuine grandmaster of puppetry. Of course, many profit-seekers were among them. The Soul Fighting Machine had long since become a household name in the Nine Provinces, known by nearly everyone. It was an essential treasure for cultivators, even more common than Storage Magical Treasures.

The Great Immortal Gates and Cave Heavens all followed the rule Wang Xiu had originally set: no one dared to raise the price, ensuring that the vast majority of cultivators could afford one. But with cultivators as numerous as carp crossing a river, the potential profits were still enough to drive people to madness. Their schemes, however, were destined to fall through.

Mo Wuwei never saw visitors. It seemed as though her heart and eyes had room only for puppets; she cared little for anything else. Few knew that this was just one side of her.

"You... wait for me!"

Mo Wuwei departed in a fluster and returned to her house. When she came out again, she had washed up. Her hair was still damp with water droplets, and she looked as fresh and natural as a lotus in clear water. Without any makeup, she was strikingly beautiful. She had also changed into a long gown that she clearly did not wear often, which revealed her impressive figure completely. Only her walk was slightly awkward.

The two walked side by side along the shore of a large swamp in the Manipulation Sect, talking about simple things. For the most part, Wang Xiu spoke while Mo Wuwei listened. It was only when Wang Xiu began to talk about puppets that she gradually grew excited, became talkative, and her eyes filled with light.

When the sun set in the west, its glow spread across the lake, making it look as if it were on fire. Only then did Wang Xiu bid farewell and leave the Manipulation Sect.

Immediately afterward, he went to the Thunder Sect, where he met with Ji Yan, Ji Kunpeng, and the others. The members of the Ji Family were overjoyed to see him. Ji Zidian's mother, Lin Yuyi, even started to cry. She grabbed Wang Xiu's hand and spoke nonstop, constantly bringing up Ji Zidian and worrying about her safety.

Wang Xiu hastily reassured her, "Auntie, rest assured. I will be ascending to the Nine Heavens soon. I will definitely find Junior Sister Ji as quickly as possible and bring her back safe and sound!"

Afterward, Wang Xiu visited the Sword Sect, the Room Sect, the Blade Sect, and other branch sects one by one. He met some acquaintances, but there were others he was unable to see.

By the time he returned to Spirit Turtle Peak, it was late at night. The courtyard was arranged just as it had been before. He flicked his sleeve, and all the dust vanished, leaving everything renewed.

Back in his room, he activated the formation and sat cross-legged on the couch.

Initially, I had planned to come back and discuss ascending to the Nine Heavens with Master and the others. Now it seems that step is no longer necessary. Wang Xiu mused to himself.

One must always move forward. The Nine Heavens was a vaster world, home to more powerful beings. The creatures there were generally stronger than in the Cangyuan Realm, and even the tall tales told were of a higher quality. Once he was there, he would naturally be like a fish in water. Moreover, now that most of his old friends and mentors had gone to the Nine Heavens for various reasons, he had even less reason to remain stagnant.

Fortunately, this opening of the passage to the Nine Heavens is lasting quite a long time! Wang Xiu suddenly thought.

The opening of the passage between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was not fixed; sometimes it lasted thirty years, sometimes fifty. This time, it was even longer, having remained open for over sixty years without fully closing. He had heard from Xiao Qingyu that many old ancestors and geniuses from the Immortal Sects in the Cangyuan Realm had successively departed for the Nine Heavens, seeking a broader world.

Although the Nine Heavens are more vast, they are also more perilous. Before setting out, I need to enhance my own strength as much as possible. Wang Xiu pondered.

He had spent a year in the Zhulong Space. Not only had he successfully refined a portion of the Origin of Zhulong, but his cultivation level had also soared, reaching the peak of the Soul Travel Realm. Theoretically, he could step into the Saint Manifestation Realm whenever he wished.

But Wang Xiu did not plan to do so.

The Saint Manifestation Realm isn't mandatory. There is another way: the flawless path to achieving the Flawless Immortal Path!

Having merged with the memories from Dragon Emperor Ao Lie's remnant soul, Wang Xiu's understanding and insight into every realm had reached a profound level.

In ancient times, the Saint Manifestation Realm did not exist. After the Soul Travel Realm came Tribulation Transcendence. However, that path was exceedingly difficult, and very few were able to successfully transcend the tribulation. The vast majority could not even survive the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation. This was especially true for the Human Race. Born naturally weaker than other powerful races and lacking strong bodies or life-defining Divine Skills, it was nearly impossible for them to withstand the might of a Heavenly Tribulation.

That was a dark age. The Human Race was weak. Countless powerfully talented geniuses perished one after another under the Heavenly Tribulation, a source of profound despair.

It was not until much later that an Ancient Sage pioneered the Saint Manifestation Realm. This was the path of faith. It allowed a cultivator to use the endless belief of the Human Race and converge it into a God Ring. This ring would amplify the cultivator, allowing them to continue enhancing their strength after the Soul Travel Realm and face the Heavenly Tribulation with more composure.
