The Gap Between a Monster-level Genius and an Ordinary Person

Chapter 8: The Gap Between a Monster-level Genius and an Ordinary Person...

"Master, Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents doesn't have much of a cultivation threshold. As long as one's comprehension and talent are sufficient, basically anyone can cultivate it successfully."

"I'll write down the cultivation method when I get back."

"I'll place it in our Dazhu Peak's Technique Hall, so all the senior brothers can try cultivating it."

Ji Changfeng said with a smile.

He did not mind contributing the sword technique.

After all, he had joined Dazhu Peak.

He was now part of Dazhu Peak as well.

It was only right for him to make some contribution.

Besides...

Whether Song Daren and the others could successfully cultivate it was another matter altogether.

After all, Ji Changfeng had just made it clear. Although Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents had no particular cultivation threshold, one first needed sufficient comprehension and talent.

Otherwise, one could train for a lifetime without ever mastering it.

"Good! Good! As expected of Tian Buyi's disciple!"

Tian Buyi was also astonished by Ji Changfeng's generosity.

After all, this was a unique sword technique!

When he had shamelessly brought it up just now, he had not held out much hope.

There was no helping it.

Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents was simply too tempting.

Even someone with low cultivation, such as Ji Changfeng at the Jade Purity Realm's Second Layer, could wield it, and its power was not weak in the slightest!

If Song Daren and the others could master it,

then they would certainly achieve a good ranking in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament a few years from now!

"You lot, why haven't you thanked Old Seven yet?"

Tian Buyi glanced at Song Daren and the others.

Hearing this, Song Daren and his fellow disciples immediately grinned and bowed to Ji Changfeng.

"Thank you, Seventh Junior Brother!"

They did not feel any jealousy.

Instead, they were rather happy.

Hehehe.

From now on, Seventh Junior Brother could help them bear some of their mistress's assessments.

"No need to thank me, Senior Brothers."

Ji Changfeng smiled.

He rather liked the personalities of senior brothers such as Song Daren.

How should he put it?

Tian Buyi did have a bit of an eye for taking disciples.

The disciples he accepted were all honest and simple-hearted.

At the very least, he had not allowed Dazhu Peak's atmosphere to become as scheming and cutthroat as the other peaks.

"Old Seven, there's no rush to write down the cultivation method. Come with me first. There are some things I need to tell you."

Tian Buyi spoke.

"Yes, Master." Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.

He was somewhat surprised.

Master had something to tell him?

What could it be?

Carrying that doubt in his heart, Ji Changfeng followed Tian Buyi to the backyard of Shoujing Hall.

"Sit."

Tian Buyi pointed at a meditation cushion nearby.

"Thank you, Master." Ji Changfeng nodded, then casually sat down.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Tian Buyi's face.

He quite liked Ji Changfeng's carefree nature.

Of course, perhaps it was because Ji Changfeng resembled someone.

An old acquaintance.

"Old Seven, this is the cultivation method for the Jade Pure Third Layer. Take it back and study it carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, come ask me anytime."

Tian Buyi handed him a small booklet.

"Yes, Master." Ji Changfeng reached out and accepted it.

He was deeply moved.

He had finally obtained all the cultivation methods for the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

That was right.

The fundamental cultivation method of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao actually consisted of only three layers.

They corresponded respectively to the first, second, and third layers of the Jade Purity Realm.

Starting from the fourth layer onward,

there was no longer any systematic cultivation method to follow. Everything depended on one's own comprehension.

This was also why so many Qingyun Disciples were stuck at the third layer and unable to break through.

It was because their comprehension was insufficient.

"Old Seven, once you break through to the Jade Pure Fourth Layer, remember to come tell your master."

Tian Buyi spoke.

"Master, is there something you need me to do?"

Ji Changfeng was rather curious.

"It's nothing." Tian Buyi lightly waved his hand and said casually, "Senior Brother Sect Master instructed me some time ago that once you break through to the Jade Pure Fourth Layer, you should make a trip to Tongtian Peak..."

"He probably wants to meet you."

"Martial Uncle Sect Master?" Ji Changfeng fell into thought.

At the mention of True Master Daoxuan, he could not help thinking of Wan Jianyi in the Ancestral Hall.

Could it be...

Ji Changfeng had some guesses in his heart.

Forget it.

He would deal with it when the time came.

Ji Changfeng did not take the matter to heart.

His gaze shifted, and he spotted paper and brushes laid out on a desk not far away. He immediately cupped his hands toward Tian Buyi and said:

"Master, since you have paper and brushes here, this disciple might as well write down the cultivation method for Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents right here."

"That works." Tian Buyi nodded.

Ji Changfeng rose and walked to the desk. He picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began writing on the white paper.

Before long,

the cultivation method for Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents had been written down in full.

Tian Buyi had been standing behind him and watching all along. In less than three minutes, his expression changed from calm to grave.

"The difficulty of cultivating this sword technique..."

"Seems a little high."

Tian Buyi's lips twitched slightly.

What had Ji Changfeng said earlier?

As long as one had even a little talent and comprehension, anyone could cultivate it?

Damn it, Tian Buyi possessed Supreme Purity Realm cultivation and his comprehension was not low either, yet he could only barely grasp the wondrous intricacies of Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents.

This...

If Song Daren and the others were to learn it,

they probably would not master it even after a dozen years.

Tian Buyi had a headache.

Sure enough, the "ordinary people" in a Prodigy's mouth were not quite the same as the ordinary people normal people understood...

"Master, this disciple will take his leave first."

Ji Changfeng did not know what Tian Buyi was thinking. After writing the cultivation method, he prepared to leave.

"Go on, go on." Tian Buyi waved his hand.

He carefully studied the cultivation method on the desk, scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time...

Even when Su Ru entered,

he did not notice her in the slightest.

"Buyi, what are you looking at?"

Su Ru's gentle voice rang beside Tian Buyi's ear.

"Hm?" Tian Buyi came back to his senses.

He turned to look at Su Ru, pointed at the cultivation method on the desk, and said, "Junior Sister, take a look at the cultivation method Old Seven wrote."

"Let me see."

Su Ru walked to Tian Buyi's side and carefully examined the cultivation method on the desk.

But it would have been better if she had not looked.

The moment she did, she was stunned.

This...

This was what Old Seven called easy? Something anyone could cultivate?!

Su Ru considered her own comprehension fairly good.

Yet when she studied the cultivation method for Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents, she could only comprehend a few of its wondrous aspects.

Even a Supreme Purity Realm expert like her was like this.

Wouldn't Song Daren and those Jade Purity Realm fools fail to understand even a single thing?!

"This..."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Su Ru's pretty face.

Sure enough.

A Monster-level Genius could not be compared to an ordinary genius!

"Sigh... Looks like Daren and the others aren't fortunate enough." Tian Buyi said this aloud, but inwardly he was exceptionally excited.

Old Seven's comprehension was fucking incredible!

Meanwhile,

after Ji Changfeng returned to his small courtyard,

he prepared to begin cultivating the Jade Pure Third Layer.

Actually, when he had sparred with Su Ru earlier, he had also wanted to try the sword technique Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.

But unfortunately,

his cultivation was too low.

As a result, he simply could not wield Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.

He would probably need to reach at least the eighth or ninth layer of the Jade Purity Realm before he could fully perform it.

Besides that,

although Ji Changfeng had improved the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, he had no intention of revealing it for the time being.

How should he put it?

He was only at the Jade Pure Second Layer now.

If he directly claimed that he had improved the Taiji Xuanqing Dao,

it would be far too high-profile.

Cultivating a technique created by one's predecessors and improving a technique created by one's predecessors were two entirely different matters...

Cultivating a little faster was just cultivating a little faster.

That did not matter.

But if one had barely cultivated for long before directly improving the technique,

that would be far too heaven-defying!

Therefore, Ji Changfeng planned to wait until his cultivation had risen before revealing the improved technique.

That would effectively avoid some trouble.

"Huff..."

Ji Changfeng let out a deep breath.

He unfolded the cultivation method for the third layer of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, then began studying it carefully.

You studied the cultivation method for the third layer of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, comprehended some of its flaws, and made improvements—you perfected the third layer of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

Heaven-Defying Comprehension activated.

Strands of profound aura gradually emerged from Ji Changfeng's body.

Enlightenment!

Enlightenment once again!

Ji Changfeng involuntarily began cultivating the third layer of the Jade Purity Realm...
