I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 837: Chapter 473: Longevity Dew Chapter 837: Chapter 473: Longevity Dew “`

After defeating Ding Ying, Zhuo Ming felt as though his essence, Qi, and spirit had undergone some indescribable changes.

It was like reaching the summit of a mountain that he had thought impossible to climb as a child. Upon easily setting foot on the peak and looking down at the landscape below, with its beautiful rivers and mountains in full view, a sense of joy at having fulfilled his wish welled up within him, giving rise to a profound sense of satisfaction.

And after defeating Ding Ying, Zhuo Ming’s only remaining opponent was the last one.

It was Xi Jinghuo.

As the lead disciple of the Sword Training Division, he was seen as the only hope of breaking through the Ninefold Law Body.

However, it is well-known that sword cultivators are stronger in the mid to late stages, and against body cultivators in the early to mid-stages, even Xi Jinghuo, who had brought out fifty to sixty percent of the power of the Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword, and had even vaguely touched the Realm of Rainbow Sword Qi with his final strike, stood no chance before the spiritually transformed Zhuo Ming. He didn’t last past the ninth punch and was struck off the platform.

Xi Jinghuo’s defensive abilities were not even as good as Ding Ying’s or Tan Qianshi’s, but his sword dao cultivation level was undoubtedly profound.

The last sword strike he managed to deliver while enduring the ninth punch left a cut on Zhuo Ming’s cheek, thus breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Ninefold Law Body.

“Brother Xi has successors,”

Chen Mobai had personally come to watch the final battle of his disciple’s ascent, and coincidentally, Xi Yisheng had also arrived.

The two of them stood on the second-floor balcony and witnessed the battle between Xi Jinghuo and Zhuo Ming.

“Junior Brother Chen, the entire sect was mistaken. Who would have thought that, apart from Nephew Luo, you would have such a brilliant talent as Nephew Zhuo under your tutelage?”

As Xi Yisheng watched Zhuo Ming wipe the cut on her cheek and saw the sword mark disappear, he knew that her Ninefold Law Body was not something that had been forcibly achieved through the use of resources but truly mastered in essence.

The Sword Qi of the Red Flame Sword Jue contained a powerful fiery energy, and ordinary methods could by no means erase it so easily. Loose cultivators who unwittingly practice Qi and are struck by the Sword Qi may even carry a lifelong scar or burn mark.

But Zhuo Ming managed to erase it easily, without resorting to talismans or elixirs.

“I mentioned it before to Brother E and Brother Yuan, but they didn’t seem to believe me.”

In the past, Chen Mobai had discussed this batch of disciples who had joined the sect from Yun Country within his own small circle. The only ones who caught his eye were Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, and Zhuo Ming.

Apart from these three, there was also Luo Yixiu. Although his talent was acceptable, his state of mind had always been an issue. Over the years, the Luo family even considered giving up on him and focusing all resources on Luo Yixuan.

But with Chen Mobai as her support, Luo Yixuan hardly cared for what the Luo family could offer in terms of resources. If not for her mother still being with the Luo family, she would likely have no interest in dealing with them at all.

“Junior Brother Chen, come over to my dojo for tea when you have the time,”

Xi Yisheng easily accepted the outcome of Xi Jinghuo’s defeat and left with a smile after seeing Zhuo Ming become the foremost true disciple.

“Certainly,”

After seeing him off, Chen Mobai turned his head to look outside the window.

Atop the platform, Zhuo Ming, who had become the number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, felt elated by the admiring and respectful gazes from all around.

Is this the pinnacle of all Qi practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect?

So, it can be so easily reached!

Zhuo Ming suddenly felt empty, as if standing in mid-air, an unsettled feeling.

She looked around and felt a pair of gratified eyes on her. Looking over, it was Chen Mobai standing at the window, smiling and nodding at her.

When their eyes met, Zhuo Ming suddenly felt all the vanity fade from her heart, returning to her previous state of mind.

To her, being the top true disciple was not as important as her master’s recognition.

“Master, from now on, I can proudly say I am your disciple!”

Zhuo Ming, who had always felt like she was holding back the Xiao Nanshan lineage, deeply sensed Chen Mobai’s kindness to her at that moment.

Zhuo Ming had always considered her Spirit Root Aptitude to be ordinary, attributing her achievements to the fortune of having Chen Mobai as her master.

The personal teachings in farming and talisman-making, the annual teachings and resolutions of doubts, being able to eat Spirit Rice at every meal, and the cultivation technique manuals she couldn’t even dream of before—all these made her feel that any Qi practitioner with such conditions could achieve success.

Before leaving Snow-blowing Palace, Xue Ting had openly expressed to Zhuo Ming her admiration for the atmosphere of Xiao Nanshan, wishing she could stay there forever if possible.

Zhuo Ming felt that all the hardships she had endured as a child were in preparation to become a disciple of Chen Mobai.

“Not bad at all, worthy of being my disciple.”

After meeting his disciple, Chen Mobai said something that made Zhuo Ming’s entire being overflow with joy.

This was the greatest acknowledgment for her!

Being the top true disciple couldn’t compare to the value of that phrase.

“Congratulations, Junior Sister!”

“Congratulations, Senior Sister!”

Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan also spoke to congratulate Zhuo Ming. To tell the truth, besides Chen Mobai, even they, who spent their days together, didn’t realize Zhuo Ming contained such immense potential and strength.

But the atmosphere of the Xiao Nanshan lineage was very good, and seeing Zhuo Ming at the top of the true disciples, both were more than happy.

Even though Liu Wenbo felt somewhat dejected that he, the eldest senior brother, turned out to be the weakest among the three, it gave him more of a drive to diligently pursue his cultivation.
