Cultivation through Skin Making

Chapter 639: 233. The First Teacher, Defeated (6300 words – Requesting Subscription)_3

Song Yan was taken aback.

Wang Youquan said, “I know you escaped from the region of the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace, but what I just used wasn’t their ’Sacrifice’ character.

’Sacrifice’ means sacrificing life to strengthen determination, while I devour life to strengthen the body; otherwise… my fragmented body would have collapsed long ago.

Of course, Elder Dan’s ’Alchemy Dao’ is much stronger than mine, it’s just that… Elder Dan uses alchemy to kill, but doesn’t devour pills to strengthen the body.

In that sense, you can also use your Illusion Dao to kill, without having to rely on devouring.”

“Yes.” Song Yan responded, then resumed cultivating Realm Power.

He wasn’t discouraged, after a brief contemplation, he decided to cultivate using ’Heaven-Reaching Wisdom’.

His ’Heaven-Reaching Wisdom’ had already been noticed by others, so there was no need to hide it, he used it directly.

Lines of information appeared:

[Year One, you operated the ’Ten Thousand Stars Melting Furnace Art’, attempting to refine a unique ’World Core’ within your body using the Fire of Taiyin and Taiyang to nurture Realm Power, but there was no response]

[Year Two, still no response, you realized this body isn’t yours, hence you can’t cultivate at all. But during this cultivation process, your understanding of ’Freedom’ slightly increased]

[Year Ten, you had no trace of refining the World Core, but your Divine Soul deepened its comprehension of ’Freedom’ during this period]

[Year One Hundred, your understanding of ’Freedom’ reached a bottleneck]

Meanwhile, Song Yan’s panel showed the progress of the [Little Celestial Dao Character “Freedom”] had reached “(99/100)”.

And once it reaches “(100/100)”, it means he has reached the first realm of the Profound Yellow Realm—Realm Core Realm.

…

…

Several months later…

Wang Youquan perceived Song Yan’s cultivation progress, repeatedly confirming, and curiously said, “Strange, strange, your realm is clearly advancing by leaps and bounds, but your body, as you said, hasn’t progressed at all. How is the ’World Core’ refined? How is ’Realm Power’ formed?

Among the Six Paths, the Hungry Ghost Dao is the most bizarre, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a situation like yours…”

Song Yan said, “Disciple is dull-witted, I’ll practice more.”

Wang Youquan nodded slightly, but the words “dull-witted” suddenly woke him up, making him look strange as if he wanted to say something unkind, but thinking about his current identity, he swallowed it down forcefully and just said, “Your aptitude is not bad, it might just need a change in your cultivation method, don’t be discouraged.”

Song Yan continued to utilize Heaven-Reaching Wisdom.

He used it sporadically, using a year every other day.

[Year One Hundred and One, you are still at the ’Freedom’ bottleneck, but the endless cultivation of the ’Ten Thousand Stars Melting Furnace Art’ made your understanding of the body fully manifest in ’Freedom’, while others improved comprehensively, you… stood alone]

[Year Two Hundred, you completely comprehended Freedom, your Divine Soul reached the first realm of the Profound Yellow Realm, Realm Core Realm, you realized you need to quickly find a suitable body for this realm to complete the final realm breakthrough]

At the moment of his breakthrough, Wang Youquan suddenly opened his eyes, his withered face showing a thoughtful look, fixing his eyes on Song Yan, and said, “This isn’t right, what’s happening with you?”

Song Yan said, “Disciple is dull-witted.”

Wang Youquan:…

He felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After calming down slightly, he pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up, and said, “Let’s go, I have an idea now. But don’t let your good senior sister know, otherwise, you won’t reach the Profound Yellow Realm.”

Unknowingly, his address had changed to “as your teacher.”

Song Yan said, “Master Wang, my conscience doesn’t support me doing this.”

Wang Youquan said, “I want to take you to find a demon head in the Vast Sea, to let you seize his body directly. This might be your way to step into the Profound Yellow Realm. Everyone has their own path, I’m just following your Lifebound Talisman and thoughts from observing you during this time.

But, your senior sister belongs to the kind of cultivator who is hostile to evil, if she knows what we are doing, she will surely stop us.”

Song Yan respectfully bowed and said, “Master Wang, if it weren’t for senior sister acknowledging my Ascension Order, I wouldn’t have been able to come here, let alone meet you, so… I can’t hide it from her.”

Wang Youquan was stunned for a long time and then smiled kindly, saying, “Alright then.”

…

…

Song Yan couldn’t meet Ning Yunmiao; he only received a letter.

The letter was left by Ning Yunmiao, it only mentioned that she went out on a boat to handle affairs, instructing him to cultivate well, she will check his cultivation progress upon return.

Wang Youquan said, “Your senior sister is not here, so listen to me as your teacher.”

Song Yan looked at the letter, then perceived the restless curse within his body, and for a moment, he wasn’t sure if he would have another chance to meet Ning Yunmiao alive, so he nodded.

What he could do now is to strengthen himself as much as possible while the Wa Text Curse hasn’t erupted.

…

…

In a flash…

Twenty years passed.

On this day…

Above the Celestial Marvel Sword Palace, a rapid “World Light Flash” flickered, compared to the “Escape by Light” of Cultivators below the Profound Yellow Realm, Profound Yellow Cultivators could already use “World” as a span for continuous cross-realm action.

However, this method was quite consuming, ordinary Profound Yellow Cultivators wouldn’t take such a step-by-step realm journey unless in a real hurry.

The world light swept past the Pole Sword Platform, quickly landing in a grand hall.

Several people were already standing in the hall, including Elder Dan.

Thick clouds surrounded like doors, the light broke in from afar, entering the vast cloud hall, revealing two figures, it was Wang Youquan and Song Yan.

A cultivator looked curiously at the two.

Among them, Song Yan was unscathed, neatly dressed, while Wang Youquan looked quite forlorn, his already frail body now appearing deformed, with deep, skeletal bite marks on his cyan-grey skin.
