Chapter 56: Why Are You Bleeding From Your Nose While Bathing Together?
“Senior Sister, what does my breakthrough have to do with the Northern Abyss Sword Saint?” Lin Fengmian asked, completely confused.
Xu Tingyu looked at him in surprise, and Lin Fengmian immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just as he was about to figure out a way to fix it, she suddenly understood and said, “I forgot that the last time you broke through was when someone else died. It’s normal that you don’t know the orderly nature of Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Fengmian was taken aback and could only nod in agreement, “Please enlighten me about the balance of the Heavenly Dao, Senior Sister.
Xu Tingyu smiled and began to explain, “This world follows the principle of ‘nine’ as the ultimate. Our cultivation from Qi Condensation to Transcendent Master also follows this principle.”
“Although it is said that there are three thousand ways to cultivate, in reality there are only nine main ways: Sword Dao, Blade Dao, Staff Dao, Spear Dao, Qin Dao… Each path has only one supreme Transcendent Master.”
“The highest positions are limited to nine, with nine Transcendent Masters, eighty-one Great Ascension Saints, seven hundred and twenty-nine Void Realm Masters, and so on.”
Lin Fengmian was greatly shocked upon hearing this, as if he had suddenly unlocked the secrets of this world, and felt an overwhelming sense of awe.
Xu Tingyu spoke passionately and murmured, “The Sword Dao we cultivate is the most powerful and difficult path, known for its ferocity. Often, the number of practitioners is ten times that of other paths.”
“At the beginning of cultivation, it doesn’t seem difficult because of the large number of positions. But the higher you go, the fewer positions there are, making it extremely difficult.”
Lin Fengmian asked, “If all the positions are filled, does that mean you can never ascend to the next realm?”
Xu Tingyu nodded, “In theory, yes. If you cultivate honestly, all you can do is wait for someone to vacate a position.”
“For those who are confident in their strength, they can challenge those above them. If they succeed in killing their opponent, they can take over that person’s Heavenly Dao and position.”
“However, this is extremely difficult and only possible at lower levels in other disciplines. In the Sword Dao, it’s almost impossible at higher levels.”
Lin Fengmian understood, after all, everyone was a Sword Dao master who had fought through countless battles.
Even if they were old and frail, what right did you have to challenge them and take their place?
If you couldn’t challenge them, all you could do was wait for someone to die and leave a position vacant.
This was a bloody path paved with blood, where cultivators not only competed with heaven, but also fought for resources and positions.
Sword Dao was one of the strongest paths, with the most practitioners and the fiercest competition.
Although Sword Dao was difficult to cultivate, its power was immense, and those who mastered it could break through myriad techniques with a single sword.
However, Lin Fengmian now deeply regretted choosing the Sword Dao.
With his mediocre talent, choosing Sword Dao was like being cannon fodder.
After all, it was like a thousand soldiers crossing a narrow bridge, and with his talent, how could he compete with geniuses like Luo Xue?
“Senior Sister, once you choose a path, can you never change it?”
Xu Tingyu frowned and said, “Of course not. There are certain times when you can change your path.”
“However, there are only two opportunities in a lifetime: during the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, and from Unity to the Void Realm.”
“Luo Xue, why are you asking about this all of a sudden? With your talent and Master’s help, you don’t need to think about these things.”
Lin Fengmian smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m just curious.”
He suddenly understood the plan of the Supreme Sword Master, the Qionghua Supreme.
She wanted to kill the Northern Abyss Sword Saint to make way for Luo Xue.
“Senior sister, if Master kills the Northern Abyss Sword Saint, how can the position fall to me?”
Xu Tingyu said indifferently, “If someone dies for other reasons, the position will return to the Heavenly Dao, just like those who die of old age, for everyone to compete for.”
“Within three days after the position is returned to the Heavenly Dao, anyone can enter the Heavenly Dao space and fight for the position. The ultimate victor will inherit the position.”
Lin Fengmian frowned and said, “Doesn’t this mean that the later one enters, the more advantageous it is?
Xu Tingyu shook her head, “In the Heavenly Dao Space, there is no True Essence depletion, no fatigue, and it’s a one-on-one battle. The loser exits, so there is no unfairness.”
Lin Fengmian understood, this way, the one who inherits the position must be the strongest.
He suddenly realized something and asked in a low voice, “What if someone deliberately lets a weaker person kill them, or if an senior person kills them, and then the weaker person kills the senior person? Then…?”
Xu Tingyu smiled and said, “The position will be obtained by the other party who does not violate the rules of Heavenly Dao. Many sects and families operate this way.”
“However, those who ascend in this way are often inferior to those who win through the divine position competition. They are often the ones who get killed in the next realm.”
Lin Fengmian suddenly understood and nodded, “I see, thank you for the explanation, Senior Sister.”
Xu Tingyu poked his head and smiled, “Alright, stop frowning. You will definitely win the position competition.”
Lin Fengmian nodded confidently, “I will not disappoint Master and Senior Sister.”
After all, although he was not talented, he had great faith in Luo Xue.
Xu Tingyu looked at Lin Fengmian, covered her mouth and laughed, “It’s been a long time since we bathed together. Let me see if you’ve grown.”
Lin Fengmian was taken aback and quickly waved his hands, “Senior Sister, this is not okay, not okay.”
Xu Tingyu frowned and said, “What is not okay? We used to do this when we were kids, right?”
“I’ve set up a formation here and checked, there’s no one around. You can rest assured.”
She said and was about to pull Lin Fengmian into the water. Lin Fengmian quickly shook his head, “We are adults, how can we still act like children?”
Xu Tingyu looked at him suspiciously, “Who was it who insisted on pulling me into the water earlier? What’s wrong with you? If you don’t come down, I’ll get angry.”
She began to undress, and her robes fell to the ground, revealing her fair and flawless skin.
Lin Fengmian turned his head awkwardly and unconsciously swallowed his saliva. Seeing Xu Tingyu’s fiery figure, especially her remarkable attributes, he felt his nose become hot.
“Luo Xue, why is your nose bleeding?”
Xu Tingyu rushed to his side with a nervous expression.
Seeing the beautiful scenery and the large white rabbits in front of him, Lin Fengmian felt his nosebleed getting worse and quickly looked up.
“Why is it getting worse…”
Xu Tingyu supported him and looked at him with concern.
Lin Fengmian could only smile bitterly, how could it not get worse?
He quickly pushed her away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Senior Sister, I’m fine, I’ve just been a little hot-tempered lately, I’ll be fine after a rest. You go ahead and take a bath.”
