Chapter 701 - 634: Stepping onto the Peak 43 (4,000 Words)_3
Just as Tan Shuangshuang was thinking this, the blue orb suddenly flickered, and a golden light instantly shot into Tan Shuangshuang’s brow, entering her Sea of Consciousness. Before she could react with shock, she was already astonished by the cultivation technique that suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was a cultivation technique, without a name or visible grade, but just by glancing at a small section of it, Tan Shuangshuang felt enlightened, as if all her questions in cultivation were instantly resolved.
Just a brief interaction made her feel greatly benefited, and recalling the previous owner who used the Thousand Silk Entanglement, Tan Shuangshuang was certain that the grade of this cultivation technique was definitely of the Heavenly Mechanism level, or perhaps even the legendary Divine Level Technique!
The most wonderful thing about this cultivation technique was that it not only included cultivation methods but also instructions on how to use Spiritual Power to wield the Thousand Silk Entanglement as a means to attack enemies.
Tan Shuangshuang was utterly captivated by the technique, feeling as if it were tailor-made for her. Every sentence brought countless insights, and every method of cultivating resonated perfectly with her intentions.
As she read, Tan Shuangshuang couldn’t help but sit on the ground to practice. Fei Hu, who had been lazily napping at her feet, immediately became alert, standing quietly to the side, ears perked to vigilantly listen to all surrounding sounds, guarding Tan Shuangshuang to ensure her safety.
Tinged by a sense of meditation, Tan Shuangshuang did not eat or drink during her cultivation, completely immersed in the world of the cultivation technique. Following its rotations, her cultivation, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, began to grow at an unprecedented speed.
Three days later, while meditating, Tan Shuangshuang effortlessly ascended past the Fifth Rank Martial Master level. After another ten days, Tan Shuangshuang’s level rose to the Sixth Rank Martial Master, and again, after ten more days, Tan Shuangshuang stopped her meditation and opened her eyes, finding her progress had halted at the Martial Master Sixth Level.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t continue to break through the Sixth Rank Martial Master but that Tan Shuangshuang deliberately stopped her cultivation. Rapid cultivation wasn’t always beneficial, as oftentimes, progress could outpace the solidification of one’s foundation.
Simply cultivating behind closed doors would not do, because without a solid foundation, one could easily encounter issues in the Heart Realm later on, causing more severe bottlenecks that might block progression, leaving one’s cultivation floating. While this might not affect low-level cultivators much, for High-level Cultivators, an unstable foundation would have significant consequences.
Only by cultivating for a time, then solidifying one’s foundation through practical combat, and continuing to cultivate from there, can one proceed steadily and for the long haul.
Though Tan Shuangshuang was deeply engrossed in her cultivation, she wasn’t completely oblivious to the outside world. She could sense that Fei Hu remained beside her the entire time, not eating or drinking, which made Tan Shuangshuang both heartbroken and warmed, not regretting the care she had given it.
Touched, Tan Shuangshuang took out a heap of Beast Spirit Fruits, feeding Fei Hu to its content, then, feeling her own continually grumbling stomach, she nibbled on a couple of Spirit Fruits, which were wholly unsatisfying in her hunger. Tan Shuangshuang decided to go hunt a beast for some real meat.
Heading out of the cave with Fei Hu, looking back at the rather unremarkable cave, Tan Shuangshuang still felt a sense of disbelief; it was in such an ordinary cave that she gained perhaps the greatest opportunity of her life! The more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed!
After a moment of marveling, Tan Shuangshuang left with Fei Hu. In the forthcoming journey through the Secret Realm, she planned to gather more Spiritual Medicine for the Wuji Sect. The opportunity she just encountered had engraving the cultivation method directly into Tan Shuangshuang’s Sea of Consciousness, making it impossible to submit to the Wuji Sect.
As for the weapon Thousand Silk Entanglement, Tan Shuangshuang had no intention of giving it to the Wuji Sect either. However, benefiting so much from the Secret Realm discovered by the Wuji Sect without some form of repayment left Tan Shuangshuang feeling a bit guilty.
Since neither the cultivation methods nor the weapon could be handed over, Tan Shuangshuang planned to put in extra effort to harvest more High Level Spiritual Medicine as a way of repaying her future sect.
With this intention in mind, Tan Shuangshuang, after swiftly hunting and grilling to satisfy her hunger with Fei Hu, set off to search for Spiritual Medicine everywhere. Naturally, upon encountering any Spirit Fruits, Tan Shuangshuang, who was now developing a penchant for culinary indulgences, would pick and store them in her Space Bracelet.
After all, what the sect valued most was the Spiritual Medicine; as long as all the Storage Bags turned over upon return were filled with Spiritual Medicine, there’d be no issue. If Spirit Fruit took the space meant for Spiritual Medicine, then the sect would be displeased.
Therefore, as Tan Shuangshuang filled her Space Bracelet with these incredibly delicious Spirit Fruits, enriched from having been on the branches for too long, she felt not the slightest guilt.
That day, Tan Shuangshuang came across a grove of Spirit Fruit trees, and luckily, they were High-level Spirit Fruit Trees. Tan Shuangshuang was thrilled, swiftly picking all the fruits with Fei Hu. Just as she was preparing to leave after harvesting the fruits, both she and Fei Hu heard a heart-wrenching cry for help!
