Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 112 - 102 Half Division

Chapter 112: Chapter 102 Half Division

Liu Suiyun finally stood up from the stone bench. “Elder, please speak. As long as Master’s wife nods, this junior will obey without hesitation!”

“Very good! Very good! Very good!” Elder Yunpeng was very pleased. “I see that you are just in your twenties now and already at the tenth level of Qi Condensation. Moreover, your qi and blood are extremely pure. Unlike Lao Peng in the past, whose qi and blood were extremely turbid and had to explore in the darkness for hundreds of years. As long as Lao Peng teaches wholeheartedly, with ten years or even a few years of effort, you will definitely be able to establish the foundation. With Fairy Shen’s support, reaching the Golden Core stage is also within reach, and it is not impossible to even achieve the Nascent Soul stage.”

He continued, “Lao Peng will impart all his skills to you without hiding a single move. But I also hope that Nephew Liu can remember this kindness of imparting knowledge and consider Lao Peng as half a master. Of course, you have already entered Fairy Shen’s sect. Lao Peng is not asking you to leave the Shenxiao Sect and come to Lao Peng’s Guihu Cave. I just want you not to forget this kindness of imparting knowledge and become a private disciple!”

However, Elder Yunpeng quickly offered a high price. “If you can break through to the Golden Core stage, I, Lao Peng, will immediately hand over all the foundation of Guihu Cave to you. Although Guihu Cave is not very remarkable, it is still a considerable foundation. If you break through to the Nascent Soul realm, don’t forget to mention Lao Peng’s name so that people all over the world will know that I, Elder Yunpeng, can also teach a Nascent Soul True Person.”

In the past, when Liu Suiyun was on the opposing side, he could be said to hate Liu Suiyun to the core. But now that he wants to impart all his knowledge to Liu Suiyun, he finds Liu Suiyun the most pleasing to the eye. All the previous shortcomings have turned into advantages. What was once extremely vicious, stubbornly deluded, and insidious and cunning has become decisive, loyal, sincere, courageous, and resourceful.

Not to mention, in Elder Yunpeng’s eyes, Liu Suiyun’s cultivation of the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record” has a much higher starting point than his own in the past. Not only is his qi and blood pure, but he is also still young. Moreover, he is backed by the Shenxiao Sect and Shen Yaqin. Not to mention Elder Yunpeng’s full teaching. At least a hundred or two hundred years of exploration time in the darkness is saved. He must be able to go further than Elder Yunpeng and even 有望 reach the Nascent Soul realm.

The Nascent Soul realm. Elder Yunpeng thinks about it day and night. But he has wasted too much time. Even if he can break through to the later stage of the Golden Core with Shen Yaqin’s help, the remaining hundred years of life are not enough for him to form a Nascent Soul. Therefore, Elder Yunpeng does not expect to succeed in forming a Nascent Soul. But if there can be a Nascent Soul disciple under his tutelage, he will die contentedly.

You should know that Elder Yunpeng can be said to have no successor now. None of his several disciples have his previous opportunity and great wisdom and courage. The strongest in cultivation is only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and two at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. There is not even a late stage of Foundation Establishment. After Elder Yunpeng passes away, it is an indisputable fact that Guihu Cave will decline. That’s why Elder Zongyun came to look for him.

However, after Elder Yunpeng finished speaking, Elder Zongyun became anxious. He stood up and said very anxiously, “Lao Peng, Lao Peng, what about me? What about me? You promised that the foundation of Guihu Cave would be taken care of by me. What about me?”

He is three hundred and ten years old. Although he is only eighty or ninety years younger than Elder Yunpeng, he has the hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core and can live fifty more years. Therefore, Elder Yunpeng promised several times that after his passing, he would hand over this foundation of Guihu Cave to Elder Zongyun.

For this reason, Elder Zongyun also has an extraordinary concern for Guihu Cave, so much so that he has neglected his own main business. According to his estimation, no matter what kind of life-prolonging treasure Elder Yunpeng finds, he will surely pass away within a hundred years. At that time, this huge foundation of Guihu Cave will fall into his hands.

Among Golden Core cultivators, he is of the type who is not as good as some but better than others. Otherwise, he would not be called “the best in flying upside down and the worst in flying right side up.” He estimates that after he gets Guihu Cave, he still has more than a hundred years of life to enjoy to his heart’s content.

Unexpectedly, today a series of earth-shattering news came one after another. First, Shen Yaqin pointed out that Elder Yunpeng has the hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core and can live fifty more years. This has already made Elder Zongyun extremely depressed. Then Shen Yaqin pointed out a clear way for Elder Yunpeng. Not only is there a life-prolonging treasure that can increase fifty years of life, but there is also a thirty to fifty percent chance of breaking through to the later stage of the Golden Core and gaining another eighty years of life.

Elder Zongyun secretly estimated. In that case, it’s hard to say who will pass away first between him and Elder Yunpeng. And now it makes him feel dizzy. Elder Yunpeng actually wants to hand over this foundation of Guihu Cave to Shen Yaqin’s disciple Liu Suiyun. Wouldn’t his painstaking efforts of a hundred years be in vain!

Heaven! For the foundation of Guihu Cave, he has even neglected his main business!

But Elder Yunpeng simply doesn’t take Elder Zongyun seriously. He turned around and reprimanded, “In front of Fairy Shen, there is no place for you, Zongyun, to speak. Today, just bring your ears!”

Elder Zongyun’s originally proud face now directly turned into a bitter melon face. On the other hand, Elder Yunpeng was extremely amiable to Liu Suiyun. “Nephew Liu, what do you think? It’s not asking you to betray the Shenxiao Sect or take on any responsibilities. It’s just a nominal thing.”

Liu Suiyun was very straightforward. He knelt down in front of Shen Yaqin. “This disciple listens to Master’s wife in everything. As long as Master’s wife gives an order, this disciple will not dare to disobey! Please give instructions, Master’s wife!”

He had already made up his mind. No matter how the situation changes, standing by Master’s wife’s side will definitely not be a loss.

Shen Yaqin was also reasonable and knew that what Elder Yunpeng learned was just a “name.” “Haven’t you met your second master yet!”

“This disciple pays respects to Second Master!” Liu Suiyun immediately followed Shen Yaqin’s instructions and performed a grand ceremony to Elder Yunpeng. “Please take care of me in the future, Second Master!”

“Very good! Very good! Very good!” Before he knew it, Elder Yunpeng blurted out his true thoughts. “In the future, our Guihu Cave will rely on Suiyun. Second Master doesn’t have any meeting gift. This “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record” is the real original version. The master has made many annotations on it. I’ll give it to you!”

“Thank you, Second Master!”

On one side, Elder Zongyun was really angry and anxious. Who could have expected that this cooked duck would fly away. He himself had drawn water with a bamboo basket in vain. Not only did he not get this foundation of Guihu Cave, but he also delayed his own main business. Now he is almost like a loose cultivator without a place to stay and can only wander around.

Therefore, when he saw Liu Suiyun happily receiving the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record” given by Elder Yunpeng, he was really anxious. In his anxiety, he took two steps back. Regardless of being a Golden Core cultivator himself, he knelt down in front of Shen Yaqin. “Fairy Shen, please 主持 justice for me. Lao Peng promised to let me take care of his foundation. Zongyun is not easy!”

Shen Yaqin gently pressed her delicate hand on the Fensijing Sword and said softly, “I dare not make decisions for Elder Yunpeng. In time, he will also be a cultivator at the later stage of the Golden Core like me. How can I be his master?”

Elder Zongyun immediately said, “Would you also show mercy and help me so that I can have a chance to advance to the later stage of the Golden Core?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t stop grinning. His aptitude has always been not as good as some but better than others. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be stuck at the early stage of the Golden Core at the age of three hundred. His pattern in this life is mostly limited to the middle stage of the Golden Core and it is difficult to make any further progress.

But Elder Yunpeng inspired Elder Zongyun. Elder Yunpeng is now four hundred years old and is cultivating such a skill as the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record”. There is actually a thirty to fifty percent chance of breaking through to the later stage of the Golden Core. He is eighty or ninety years younger than Elder Yunpeng and his cultivation method is more profound. There should be more hope than Elder Yunpeng.

“This won’t do!” Shen Yaqin gently tapped the scabbard with her finger but refused Elder Zongyun’s request. “Elder Zongyun, the reason why I agreed to help Elder Yunpeng is because my disciple has a request of him, and he can also help my disciple. At least a hundred years of time can be saved. But you are different…”

The meaning in these words is naturally “you are a useless waste. This fairy doesn’t need you at all.” But unexpectedly, Elder Zongyun was not angry but happy. He stood up happily. “What Fairy Shen said is that as long as I can help your disciple, Fairy Shen will naturally be willing to help? Very good! Very good!”

Shen Yaqin glanced at her three disciples sitting by the stone table. “I have three disciples. As long as you can help any one of them, it will do. But my standards are not low. Don’t dare to bring things like Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Core Fruits to make up the numbers.”

Elder Yunpeng wholeheartedly imparting the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record” naturally has a significance for Liu Suiyun that cannot be matched by pills like Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Core Fruits.

Elder Yunpeng has spent nearly four hundred years on this skill of the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record”. At least it can save Liu Suiyun a hundred or even two hundred years of exploration time. Moreover, Elder Yunpeng has already paved the way before the later stage of the Golden Core. Liu Suiyun just needs to follow in his footsteps.

According to Elder Yunpeng’s understanding, Elder Zongyun simply cannot 拿出 skills, secret manuals, insights, treasures, or other things of this weight. Unexpectedly, Elder Zongyun was confident. “Please rest assured, Fairy Shen. Everything is fine. Everything is fine! Just please give Zongyun a few months. Zongyun will definitely satisfy your disciple.”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Shen Yaqin’s three disciples again, as if they were rare treasures. While Shen Yaqin gently tapped the scabbard with her finger, she said coldly, “The Pang family in Tianji is indeed colluding with the Supreme Demon Sect. Do they really think that this Great Han Kingdom is not the world of our Shenxiao Sect?”

With a fierce killing intent, she casually asked Liu Suiyun, “Suiyun, do you want Master’s wife to take action and wipe out the Pang family for you, or do you want to do it yourself? Now although the Supreme Demon Sect cultivators occupying the Pang family are just some insignificant people, there are at least one at the middle stage of the Golden Core and one at the early stage of the Golden Core. With your cultivation, you won’t be able to catch up with them within three to five years. I have to personally go and destroy them.”

Now Liu Suiyun, along with Elder Yunpeng and Elder Zongyun, were all shocked. Just now Shen Yaqin was sitting by the stone table and talking to them. She didn’t leave their sight for a single step. But unexpectedly, without making a sound, she had already figured out all the Supreme Demon Sect cultivators stationed at the Pang family. This kind of true immortal’s means is truly unfathomable.

Liu Suiyun had already knelt down without any backbone. “This disciple listens to Master’s wife’s decision in everything! If Master’s wife tells this disciple to go east, this disciple will definitely not dare to go west. If Master’s wife tells this disciple to go west, this disciple will definitely not dare to go east!”
