On Sacred Cliff, Yang Qing knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed three times, completing the master-disciple ceremony.

After becoming a disciple, Yang Qing finally learned his Master's name. He shared the same surname, Li, with the given name "Quan."

"Since you have taken me as your master, I will naturally guide your cultivation. Calm your mind, listen carefully. Cultivation begins with..."

Li Quan slowly explained the method of cultivation. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Yang Qing's ears.

The voice seemed to possess a magical power, causing Yang Qing's heart to unconsciously quiet down, with each word flowing into his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, as his Master's voice abruptly stopped, Yang Qing suddenly awoke.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!" Yang Qing said, cupping his hands.

"Understood?" Li Quan asked.

"Understood! The first step of cultivation requires opening the Sea of Suffering!" Yang Qing replied honestly.

It sounded quite complicated, and it was his first time encountering it, but he truly understood.

Perhaps, this was a manifestation of talent!

Li Quan nodded with satisfaction. The cultivation method he had just imparted to Yang Qing was not simple; it was the Sea of Suffering chapter of the Daoist Scripture.

There were many Emperor Scriptures in the world, but if one were to talk about which was most suitable for building a foundation in the initial stages of cultivation, the Daoist Scripture would be the top recommendation.

The Daoist Scripture was all-encompassing. Although he had only taught the basic part, Yang Qing understood it after just one listen. His comprehension was quite good.

Next, it depended on how long Yang Qing would take to open the Sea of Suffering!

He himself had spent a month opening the Sea of Suffering back then. If Yang Qing could achieve a similar result, he would be content.

Suddenly, he saw Yang Qing sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Was Yang Qing starting to cultivate already?

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. He was truly a clueless youngster with no knowledge of cultivation.

At the very beginning of cultivation, one generally needed guidance to sense the Wheel of Life, and then to guide the vital energy to impact the Sea of Suffering.

Oh well! Taking this opportunity, it would be good to let Yang Qing know the hardships of cultivation, so that he would have a sense of reverence.

But moments later, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and his gaze became sharp and bright.

Without his guidance, Yang Qing could actually sense the Wheel of Life directly?

He had misjudged this kid. He didn't expect his talent to be so good; he was a genius!

Sensing the Wheel of Life so quickly, the rest would be simple, just a matter of diligent effort.

"This isn't difficult either!"

Yang Qing's own feeling was marvelous. Following the cultivation method his Master described, he easily sensed the Wheel of Life.

Within the Wheel of Life, he felt a surging spring of divine power. Vaguely, he seemed to see a golden ocean.

Unknowingly, he had already immersed himself in a deep state of cultivation, his entire being lost in thought.

The more Li Quan watched, the more amazed he became. Unknowingly, his gaze towards Yang Qing was now filled with approval.

His disciple could enter the state so quickly on his first cultivation attempt. His talent was much better than he had anticipated.

Such a fine jade, if nurtured well, would have a great chance of inheriting his legacy in the future.

He couldn't help but think of another young man, a young heavenly prodigy whose talent was the strongest he had ever seen.

He had once vowed before him to Prove Dao and Become Emperor in the shortest possible time. He wondered how far he had progressed now.

As he was contemplating, Li Quan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked towards the Undying Mountain not far away.

A wisp of energy erupted, like the awakening of a supreme deity, shaking the heavens and earth, instantly sweeping across hundreds of millions of miles, vast and mighty.

The next moment, a soaring light rose from the Undying Mountain, emitting immortal auspicious colors, covering the firmament and shaking the past, present, and future.

Yang Qing could no longer focus on cultivation. A fear originating from his instincts jolted him awake, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

This aura was too terrifying. In this world, perhaps there was only one possibility.

Why was he so unlucky? Just as he started cultivating, he encountered a Supreme Being from the Undying Mountain emerging?

"I am not dead yet, get back!"

A mighty voice echoed through the heavens and earth, filled with authority, like a supreme deity's wrath, causing the four cardinal directions of the sky to tremble.

Under Yang Qing's shocked gaze, his Master took a step forward. An immortal path of light appeared beneath his feet, and he ascended into the firmament.

At this moment, his Master, who appeared hunched and withered in his eyes, had completely changed!

His posture became exceptionally upright, like a spear piercing the heavens, his blood essence surging through the Milky Way, engulfing the firmament.

Yang Qing's expression was dazed. He had guessed his Master was not simple, but he hadn't expected him to be so extraordinary.

"Sacred Body, you have long entered your twilight years. Your blood essence is decaying, and your appearance is withered. You cannot last much longer!"

A deep voice sounded from the Undying Mountain, utterly cold. All the black giant peaks rumbled and roared incessantly.

"As long as I am here, I will not tolerate your presumptuousness. Do you dare to come out and fight me?"

Li Quan took a step into the Undying Mountain, shattering a mountain and kicking it into pieces, sending rubble flying towards the depths of the Undying Mountain.

At this moment, the entire Eastern Wasteland trembled. Millions of mountain ranges shook, and countless people were alerted by the vast aura.

"You don't have much time left? I'll just watch you fall silently, why would I need to fight you?"

As soon as the words fell, the terrifying aura from within Undying Mountain gradually receded, and Undying Mountain slowly returned to its calm, as if nothing had happened just moments before.

Li Quan stared silently into the depths of Undying Mountain. If he could, he would have charged into Undying Mountain right now.

But he couldn't. His juniors hadn't grown up yet, and his old bones couldn't die now!

When Li Quan returned to Sacred Cliff and saw Yang Qing's shocked face, a hint of a smile suddenly appeared on his stern features.

"What? Scared silly already? Cough, cough."

Before he could finish speaking, a violent coughing fit erupted, and Li Quan's face instantly turned ashen.

Yang Qing hurried over and helped his Master to sit down. Only when his Master's complexion returned to normal did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, you're already so old, you should take it easy!"

A trace of sadness flickered in Li Quan's eyes. He had heard the conversation just now and could naturally guess many things.

The Supreme Beings from Undying Mountain had emerged, addressing his Master as "Sacred Body," which had revealed his Master's identity.

His Master was actually a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!

But he was a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body who had entered his twilight years and didn't have much time left!

To stand guard outside Undying Mountain in his old and frail body, confronting the Supreme Beings – what a difficult situation this was!

"Don't worry! Your Master won't die for now, but you need to cultivate diligently from now on!" Li Quan sighed.

If the spring breeze could pity flowers, could it grant me youth again!

He was old, and time was running out for him!

If it weren't for this, he could have suppressed everything with his own power, and why would he need to leave the heavy burden to the younger generation?

In a place as troublesome as Sacred Cliff, if he were to fall, Yang Qing would never survive.

He could only teach Yang Qing as quickly as possible, letting Yang Qing venture out on his own. How far he could go in the future would depend on Yang Qing himself.

As for him, before he died, he would charge into Undying Mountain and make one last contribution to this world!
