If Ye Lin encountered a true Star River prodigy, he would be defeated within three moves. Some Star River prodigies were genuine freaks.
"Still, I feel somewhat powerless."
Ye Lin clenched his hand, a little puzzled. Before, he had thought that few at the same cultivation realm could match his foundation, but over these past ten years, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar had constantly been knocking him down a peg.
It made him feel terrible. Being constantly disparaged by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar was no pleasant feeling.
After all, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar had once followed a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Its horizons stood so far above his that he did not even know how far.
"It's only right that you feel powerless. Cultivation isn't something you can figure out entirely by yourself. You must take a truly capable master who can teach you. He can correct the wrong turns you took in the past."
"Of course, I can teach you as well, but I'm not a cultivator after all. All my experience was learned from others. I don't know whether passing that experience on to you would be right or wrong."
"Right now, most forces in the Star River have a standardized process for nurturing their younger generation. You, meanwhile, have walked forward step by step on your own. But along this path, you need guidance from a great expert."
"Do you know why the role of a master has existed since ancient times?"
"It's because your master has already walked the road you are now walking. He has ample experience to teach you and prevent you from taking the wrong path."
"And he can constantly correct you, because he already knows which roads are wrong. If you encounter such circumstances, all you can do is leave it to luck.
