Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 917 - 272: [Who Is Shen 17] (6000)_4

Chen Yan’s smile remained unchanged, and he made a gesture of "please."

The old Taoist habitually took a deep breath, then slowly said, "My humble name is Huang, originally from the Zedong World. Born in... the seventh year of the Republic of China."

Oh?

The seventh year of the Republic?

Chen Yan quickly calculated, good heavens, that’s 1918.

In other words, this old Taoist is already over a hundred years old.

"I was born into poverty, and later dedicated myself to a Taoist temple. At six, I became an acolyte, and at fourteen, my master took me as an inner disciple. It was then that I began cultivating under him and came to know that there was another realm in this world. Only then did I learn the difference between mortals and immortals!

But this world has thin Primordial Qi, and cultivation resources are even harder to find. The path to seeking Tao is indeed difficult.

My master took me in when he was already over fifty, limited by many factors and talent. Even at fifty, my master remained stuck at the peak of the Inner Room Realm, unable to advance to the Second Realm."

Hearing this, Chen Yan sighed slightly in his heart.

This... is indeed quite difficult.

Thin Primordial Qi, and cultivation resources are hard to find. At fifty, still in the First Realm.

It seems his talent was indeed not great.

However, this might be the real and common state of cultivators in this world—this is considered good enough.

Like that old ghost of the Li Family, with a cultivation technique passed down for generations, their ancestors might have fled from a Domain Realm.

Yet, even with the technique in hand, several generations have failed to succeed!

This shows how arduous cultivation is in this world.

"I was fortunate to be chosen by my master—back then, my master also evaluated my talent, felt I had the potential for cultivation, and thus took me under his wing.

I started cultivating at fourteen, and by a stroke of luck, reached the First Realm, Inner Room Realm, at twenty."

At this point, the old Taoist smiled wryly: "I can’t compare to a talent like fellow Daoist’s who has reached the Third Realm at such a young age.

However, becoming a First Realm cultivator at twenty was considered, by my master, to be the youngest in my lineage for four generations."

Reaching the First Realm at twenty, taking a full six years.

Slow?

It’s considered slow, but perhaps not entirely.

Chu Keqing is considered a genius among cultivators in this world, an absolute top-notch talent.

Yet, the Cloud Sect’s cultivation technique is inherently flawed, limiting her achievements—in addition to the thin Primordial Qi environment.

Even so, the renowned Elder Zi, in his early thirties, is only in the Second Realm.

This old Taoist has reached the Second Realm, although much older than Chu Keqing.

But... if it came to a fight, he could pin Chu Keqing to the ground!

Because the old Taoist can use spells!!

Chu Keqing, despite her cultivation, doesn’t even know a single decent spell!

During combat, she can only use a bit of talisman art to intimidate others, and in a real battle, she could at most play a supporting role, like the last time in the Secret Realm of Japan.

The cultivation techniques in this world are too fragmented.

That the old Taoist knows spells, and even offensive ones, thus...

"Fellow Daoist, your sect’s cultivation technique, it must have some origin?" Chen Yan asked.

"I wouldn’t dare hide it from fellow Daoist," the old Taoist replied, "When I was young, my master told me that our sect’s techniques came from another world—ancestral predecessors fled from that world to this one, passing down the cultivation techniques.

Moreover, because our sect’s ancestral predecessors brought the Soul Suppressing Lamp when they came to this world, our sect’s cultivation technique inheritance is more complete and has fewer defects than other cultivators in this world."

Understood!

Chen Yan’s mind was suddenly clear.
