Qian Renxue: If I Can't Cultivate It, Could Sun Wukong Succeed?

Douluo World.

Countless Soul Masters watched the profound ancient scroll projected by the Heavenly Screen, and whoever looked at it coughed up blood.

Since they could not look at the ancient scroll the Divine Being had given Qian Renxue, they could only watch Qian Renxue herself.

They wanted to see whether Qian Renxue could cultivate the Nine-Nine Profound Art.

Even if Qian Renxue had reverted from Postnatal to Prenatal and become a member of the so-called Prenatal Human Race, at the end of the day, weren't they all Soul Masters born in the same world?

They refused to believe that Qian Renxue could cultivate a profound art of this caliber.

Several leisurely days

passed in the snap of a finger.

Mount Lingtai Fangcun.

Qian Renxue still sat cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard, the ancient scroll floating before her and shimmering with golden light.

Over the past few days, Qian Renxue's inner pride had gradually faded. Looking at the cultivation formulas on the scroll before her, she finally could not hold it in anymore and began grumbling inwardly.

What kind of cultivation technique is this?

I can understand it, so why can't I cultivate it?!

Ever since she was a child, Qian Renxue's grandfather had told her she was a heaven-blessed genius. With Innate Level 20 Soul Power and a divine-grade Martial Soul, she ranked among the top three in Douluo World in both comprehension and foundation.

That was without mentioning how countless heavenly treasures had now washed and tempered her foundation, allowing her to revert from Postnatal to Prenatal.

Yet the formulas inscribed on the Nine-Nine Profound Art before her were perfectly clear.

At the beginning of heaven and earth, the profound art underwent nine revolutions. The first shed mortality and brought one into immortality, transforming one's very bones.

Looking at the contents of the formula, Qian Renxue could not help rolling her eyes.

Teacher!

Do you have some kind of problem with laying a foundation?

The first stage of the Nine-Nine Profound Art turns you straight into an Immortal?!

As a Soul Master, she would have to cultivate to the level of Limit Douluo before seeking a Divine Position to inherit.

But in another world, cultivating the first tenth of a technique would make her an Immortal?

How the hell am I supposed to cultivate this?!

Qian Renxue felt so aggrieved she wanted to cry. She seriously suspected Bai Yi was playing a trick on her, his disciple.

"What kind of lousy cultivation technique is this?!"

"The first stage makes a Mortal cultivate straight into an Immortal. Who created this technique? How can it be so outrageous?!"

The sight of Qian Renxue voicing her complaints instantly spread throughout Douluo World.

The various factions fell silent at first, then rejoiced as though it were New Year.

[Xue Ye]: Hahaha! I couldn't comprehend the Divine Being's cultivation technique, and neither can Qian Renxue! What so-called Prenatal Human Race? Isn't she just the same as the rest of us?!

[Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng]: Wonderful, wonderful! Spirit Hall celebrated too soon. So what if the cultivation technique is powerful? If she can't understand it, isn't it just a pile of wastepaper?

The nobles and ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire chimed in, echoing the two emperors.

After Spirit Hall's Qian Renxue became a disciple of the Divine Being, Spirit Hall had vaguely begun to act high and mighty, as though the entire Douluo Continent were already in its pocket.

That had truly left the two great empires unable to eat or sleep in peace.

Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire kept one another in check on the continent.

But now, because Qian Renxue had crossed over to another world, they only had to investigate a little to learn that Spirit Hall was being protected behind the scenes by the Heavenly Screen.

Martial Soul Evolution meant a tremendous rise in the strength of Spirit Hall's Soul Masters. When the two empires thought of the ambitions of Spirit Hall's Pope, how could they not be afraid?!

When Xue Ye learned that Xue Qinghe had been killed and replaced by Qian Renxue, the eldest daughter of the Qian Family, he had only recently been clamoring to send troops and take Spirit Hall down with him.

But for all his clamoring, which of the Heaven Dou Empire's Titled Douluo and nobles did not understand the truth?

With the Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu holding the fort at Spirit Hall, even if they sent troops and fought, the outcome was easy to imagine.

The Star Luo Empire would reap the benefits.

But now that Qian Renxue could not even take the first step in cultivation, how could Xue Ye resist throwing stones at someone down a well?

Seeing Xue Ye take the lead in mocking them, how could the hotheads on Spirit Hall's side stand it?

[Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo]: Oh! Your Majesty Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, if you have time, you should worry more about the children in your own imperial palace. What business is it of yours whether our young lady can cultivate or not?

[Demon Subduing Douluo]: The Second Worship is absolutely right. The Heaven Dou Empire's first and second princes dropped dead for who knows what reason, and the third prince was a short-lived ghost. Now only the fourth prince, Xue Beng, remains, and he's nothing but trash!

[Qian Jun Douluo]: And the Star Luo Empire too. If all your princes die one of these days, our Spirit Hall won't know who did it!

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Pfft!"

Watching the barbs on the Heavenly Screen call him out by name one after another, Xue Ye trembled all over with anger and suddenly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Damn Spirit Hall!"

Xue Ye's face turned ashen. He was about to shout an angry order to go to war when the ministers below hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, Xue Ye helplessly closed his eyes.

On the other side, it was much the same in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Dai Tianfeng was furious, but there was nothing he could do about Spirit Hall. That was simply the truth.

If Spirit Hall wanted to assassinate their empire's princes, it would be as easy as turning over a hand.

Spirit City.

Inside the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu paid no attention to what was happening in the Sky Curtain Livestream Room. He stared blankly at his granddaughter Qian Renxue's dejected appearance and let out a long sigh.

"Alas!"

"It seems this old man was indulging in wishful thinking. Even though Xue'er has remade her foundation, her comprehension and foundation are ultimately lacking. She cannot easily grasp the profound art bestowed by the Divine Being!"

"The first stage alone makes one an Immortal. How could a mere Mortal accomplish that?"

As he spoke, a strange thought gradually occurred to Qian Daoliu.

If Xue'er could not cultivate the profound art bestowed by the Divine Being, could that monkey named Sun Wukong cultivate it instead?!

Within the Heavenly Screen.

Qian Renxue completely abandoned the idea of cultivating the Nine-Nine Profound Art. Indignant, she got to her feet and headed for her West Wing Room.

"Forget it, forget it."

"I don't care for this lousy technique anyway. I'll go ask Teacher for another cultivation technique later!"

Though she said she did not care for it, Qian Renxue actually longed for it.

But she had no idea that, after sitting in this courtyard for days on end contemplating the profound art without a drop of water, she could still walk as she normally did and felt not the slightest bit hungry.

This was the wonder of the Prenatal Human Race.

With a body free of impurities, it drew in and expelled the essence of heaven and earth. Even after a hundred days without eating the food of the mortal world, one could remain as lively as a dragon and a tiger.

But this was only possible on Mount Lingtai Fangcun, the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land Bai Yi had specially created, which contained a considerable amount of Innate Spiritual Energy.

Beyond Mount Lingtai Fangcun, throughout the Four Great Continents, the Innate Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth had long since vanished entirely, not to mention the Postnatal Turbid Qi permeating the mortal world.

If ordinary cultivators wished to cultivate, they could only leave those parts of the mortal world permeated by Turbid Qi.

Qian Renxue knew nothing of these details. She followed the small green flagstones straight toward her West Wing Room.

As she reached the corner of the covered walkway outside the West Wing Room, she came face-to-face with a figure.

It was Sun Wukong.

The monkey was squatting on the steps, his furry face and Thunder God's mouth full of cheer.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly and recalled something: back in Teacher's room, the Nine-Nine Profound Art might have been bestowed upon Sun Wukong to cultivate.

She had merely received the profound art a step later.

If she could not cultivate it, could her senior brother Sun Wukong succeed?

Recalling how her teacher Bai Yi had said that ten of her could not compare to one Sun Wukong, Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward. Copying the posture she had seen the Daoist attendant Qingxuan use when greeting Bai Yi, she cupped her hands in salute and said,

"Your junior sister Qian Renxue greets Senior Brother Sun Wukong!"
