Chu Feng: Then I'd Really Take a Huge Loss
Rushing Thunder Saber King slowly spoke, "Elder brother, what are your thoughts?"
The one who just shouted was another patriarch of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa — King Hongchui.
"Ninth Brother, I have no advice for you. After all, no one can make the decision for you regarding cultivation. The only thing you can do is to face your own heart and determine the path you want to take."
Although King Hongchui is not as talented or as skilled as King Rushing Thunder in many other aspects, he has the advantage of rich experience.
King Rushing Thunder nodded. "Brother is absolutely right. I will go back and meditate to think it over."
After saying that, he walked towards a room in the palace.
The cultivators of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa dispersed, and no one discussed the matter anymore.
After bidding farewell to King Hongchui, Elder Liu walked out of the palace, making sure to record the events of the day, which would surely become a beautiful story in the future.
No secrets stay hidden forever; in less than half a day, news of what happened in the palace had spread throughout the entire Unrivaled City.
All the cultivators were discussing whether King Rushing Thunder would choose the True Essence of the Thunder Dao or the True Essence of the Saber Dao.
Only a few cultivators soured the mood by saying that the Rushing Thunder Saber King might not necessarily become Great Sage.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Rushing Thunder Saber King arrived outside the palace where Chu Feng was.
He bowed deeply towards the palace, saying, "Junior Rushing Thunder greets Senior."
No need for formalities.
Chu Feng was playing chess with Bing Yan when he heard Rushing Thunder Saber King's words. He said calmly, "You've come here today because you already have your answer."
Rushing Thunder Saber King, "Senior, I intend to comprehend the True Essence of the Thunder Dao. I humbly request your guidance."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Alright, come find me again in seven days when the sun is high in the sky."
"Promise."
Although Rushing Thunder Saber King had some doubts, he still chose to leave.
As soon as he returned to the palace where the Thunderclap Mountain Villa lived, he was surrounded by people. Although no one spoke, Rushing Thunder Saber King already knew what they wanted to ask and told them what had happened earlier without hiding anything.
After hearing what the Rushing Thunder Saber King said, everyone's expressions varied. If it weren't for the fact that the senior had taken out a top-grade Dao Comprehension Pill and had the whole world witness it, they would have thought they had been deceived.
Rushing Thunder Saber King said nothing more and went back to his seclusion. He planned to calm his mind and prepare to receive the supreme cultivation technique from that senior.
The assembled Great Sage in the palace were in an uproar.
They all gathered together and began to discuss it enthusiastically.
"Great Sage Xuanyi, what trick do you think that person is playing? Could it be that he still wants to finish the book in seven days?" an old man in a red robe asked.
Wearing a Daoist robe and exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom Great Sage Xuanyi smiled and said, "Xueyou Xue You, why be in such a hurry? Everything will be clear in seven days."
An Elder Sword said, "Old man Xuan Yi, what time is it? You're still showing off your mystique here. Aren't you really not curious at all?"
Great Sage Xuanyi laughed and said, "Fellow Banished Immortal, you are mistaken. I simply believe that everything is preordained, and no matter how anxious we are, we cannot change it."
The Great Sage: "..."
Inside the palace.
Chu Feng won the game with a single move, then took a sip of tea, stood up, and stretched his neck.
Great Sage Golden Wing asked curiously, "Brother, are you planning to write a cultivation technique for that old bastard?"
Chu Feng laughed and said, "If we do this, we'll really lose out. I'll go get something first, and you'll see later."
Great Sage Golden Wing's face immediately lit up with anticipation. He wondered what new tricks his elder brother would come up with this time. For the first time, he felt that time was passing so slowly.
Chu Feng entered a clean room and began to ponder how to help the Rushing Thunder Saber King comprehend the True Essence of the Thunder Dao.
Soon, the "Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Purity Great Brahma Purple Micro Mysterious Capital Thunder Jade Scripture" flashed through his mind. This was a Daoist classic, and it also contained nine Dao Lord Thunder Talisman.
We will use the True Essence of the Great Dao to inscribe these nine Dao Lord Thunder Talisman, and with the aid of the Dao Comprehension Pill, we can surely help the King Rushing Thunder comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng took out the Dao Jade, divided it into nine small pieces, and with a wave of his hand, used Dao Light array to cover the entire room, firstly to block prying eyes, and secondly to block heavenly secrets. Then he began to inscribe the Dao Lord Thunder Talisman on the first piece of Dao Jade.
After one jade talisman was engraved, Chu Feng realized that a day and a night had passed.
He didn't rush or speed up; instead, he slowly and deliberately inscribed the second jade talisman.
The palace became unusually quiet. None of the cultivators who left the palace each day were able to bring back any useful information, which made the cultivators waiting in Unrivaled City extremely restless.
What on earth is that Great Sage up to?
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.
Chu Feng looked at the seven jade talismans in front of him and then stopped what he was doing.
He could clearly sense the True Essence of the Thunder Dao emanating from the seven jade talismans, which gave him a strong urge to comprehend the True Essence of the Thunder Dao here.
Chu Feng quickly calmed his thoughts and walked towards the main hall. As for the remaining two jade talismans, if King Rushing Thunder couldn't break through to the Half-Saint Realm, it wouldn't be too late for him to inscribe them two days in advance.
When he arrived at the main hall, Bing Yan and the others were already waiting there. He gestured to them with his eyes and then looked towards the front courtyard, where he saw King Rushing Thunder standing there respectfully.
"You've come."
Upon hearing this voice, King Rushing Thunder, who was standing in the courtyard, immediately said respectfully, "Junior greets Senior."
Chu Feng said, "Comprehending the True Essence of the Great Dao is not something that can Yixi. From this day forward, you will cultivate in this courtyard. Remember to observe the Great Dao runes on the jade slip, and then immediately take the Dao Comprehension Pill to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao."
"Promise."
Before arriving, King Rushing Thunder had prepared the Dao Comprehension Pill to ensure everything went smoothly.
Chu Feng then took out a jade talisman from his storage ring and threw it towards King Rushing Thunder.
King Rushing Thunder took the jade talisman and subconsciously scanned it with his divine sense. At that moment, Dao Light emanated from the jade talisman, enveloping his entire body. The light gradually spread and then shot straight into the sky.
"Dao Light!"
A Great Sage in the palace exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this Dao Light.
The assembled Great Sage couldn't help but sigh at this sight.
"I didn't expect that person to actually be quite capable, finding the Thunder Dao Holy Scripture in such a short time."
"I wonder which faction this fellow Daoist belongs to; he must be an extraordinary person."
"..."
When Elder Liu and the cultivators of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa saw the appearance of the Dao Light, excited expressions appeared on their faces.
"With the arrival of the Dao Light Emperor, another Great Sage is about to emerge from my Thunderclap Mountain Villa."
"Thunderclap Mountain Villa is about to rise again."
"..."
Seeing this, Great Sage Hongchui couldn't help but rebuke, "Shut up! The matter hasn't even been settled yet, why are you celebrating? How many times have I told you that cultivators must maintain a calm and composed mind?"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, not daring to utter another word.
Inside the palace, Chu Feng completely ignored King Rushing Thunder and continued to instruct the two young girls in their cultivation.
After the Dao Light from King Rushing Thunder disappeared, he finally came to his senses. Looking at the jade talisman in his hand, which had turned to dust, he dared not delay for a moment. He took out an Dao Comprehension Pill and swallowed it directly. Then he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the talisman in his sea of consciousness.
Time passed day by day.
King Rushing Thunder sat motionless in the courtyard. Bai Qian and Chen Qianqian, the two young girls, couldn't bear such boredom and said to Chu Feng, "Master, we want to go out and play."
"No problem."
After saying this with a smile, Chu Feng turned to the Great Sage Golden Wing beside him and said, "I'll leave this to you."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of this little thing."
Great Sage Golden Wing patted his chest and assured him.
Chu Feng then put on a bamboo hat and left the palace with Bing Yan and the two little maids. This scene naturally escaped the eyes of the cultivators.
The cultivators watched as the group left the palace, all stunned. A single thought crossed their minds: What is this person going to do?
As for running away, no one even considered it. After all, that person hadn't even obtained the Thunder Duke's Saint Hammer yet, but had already paid with three Dao Comprehension Pill. Wouldn't it be a huge waste to leave at this critical juncture?
As evening fell, the group returned, chatting and laughing. They looked at each other, then said in unison, "Could they have really gone out to play?"
But everyone quickly forgot about this absurd idea.
I'll choose to wait and see what happens next.
Forty-nine days later, King Rushing Thunder opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed towards the palace. "Master, my comprehension is insufficient, and I have not yet grasped the True Essence of the Thunder Dao. I beg you to bestow upon me the Dharma."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng said calmly, "Your comprehension is the worst among all the disciples I've ever instructed. Continue."
When King Rushing Thunder heard this, he was stunned. He was just being modest, but he didn't expect it to actually come true.
He quickly took the jade talisman and saw that the Dao runes on it were different from the previous ones. After imprinting the runes into his sea of consciousness, he took an Dao Comprehension Pill and continued his cultivation.
The cultivators in the palace, upon seeing that familiar Dao Light, had the same thought resurface in their minds once more...
