Chapter 829: Chapter 779 Steps instead of brackets
The saying goes that one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause; and since Wu Shijiu is currently seeking him out, Pei Xuanjing suspects there must be something important on Wu Shijiu’s mind. Thus, Pei Xuanjing cuts straight to the chase, especially since he was unwilling to dally while tidying up his own cultivation practice. It wasn’t that Wu Shijiu couldn’t come to him, but rather, he shouldn’t have come at this time.
After breaking through to become one of the Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest, for most of the powerhouses, this moment is the optimal state for them to become one with Heaven and Earth. Seizing the time for cultivation and then stabilizing their realm, or even taking a step further, is also a possibility.
After all, for most powerhouses, the moment right after a breakthrough is when they can enhance their strength most rapidly. If they miss this opportunity, it then becomes very difficult to make significant advancements in the following period, even to the point where it’s extremely challenging to make any progress at all due to the constraints of Heaven and Earth.
And if Wu Shijiu is seeking him out at this time, it must be for a serious matter; otherwise, he would not waste such a precious opportunity.
“Ah,” Wu Shijiu, having heard Pei Xuanjing’s direct question, furrows his brows slightly and lets out a light sigh before speaking, “My visit today to the national advisor may seem presumptuous. Aside from wanting to thank the national advisor personally for the guidance in the past, there are some matters on which I need the national advisor’s instruction and assistance.”
The reason for his visit to Pei Xuanjing today is indeed significant, or else even if he wished to thank Pei Xuanjing, he wouldn’t have chosen this prime moment for cultivation. After all, Pei Xuanjing would understand his absence, but missing his own chance to cultivate could never be regained by any means.
But reality demanded that, after Wu Shijiu stayed in closed-door cultivation for a while, stabilizing his realm completely, he had no choice but to come. Because he discovered that after securing his realm, he could no longer continue to improve, or rather, the advancement of his strength was incredibly slow, which was completely different from what he had understood about breakthroughs.
“Do you not know about this, Taoist Friend?” asked Pei Xuanjing with a flicker of confusion in his eyes after hearing Wu Shijiu’s words.
Wu Shijiu’s face was filled with bewilderment as he quickly implored, “Please enlighten me, national advisor.”
He was earnest in his request, as the most daunting predicament for a cultivator is the inability to make any progression in cultivation, which is no doubt torturous.
“Taoist Friend achieved breakthroughs using the secret techniques of the Witch Deity Teaching. Although such breakthroughs may increase the likelihood of becoming a Supreme Strong, they undoubtedly have a significant impact on the cultivator themselves, limiting them to the original path of the Supreme Strong, making the speed of realm advancement after the breakthrough very slow,” explained Pei Xuanjing, clarifying the underlying reason.
At first, when the Witch God Sect Leader proposed to collaborate with Pei Xuanjing, he spoke of something that could aid in breaking through to the Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest.
