Chapter 614: Chapter 225: As Your Teacher, I’ll Back You Up, Liang Sheng Breaks Through Again! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
Longevity Immortal City.
Liang Sheng’s Mansion.
Liang Sheng returned to Longevity Immortal City with Zhou Shen who was still immersed in his cultivation trance, and immediately took him to a room.
At this moment, the city was still receiving the rain of spiritual energy, a phenomena so concentrated that it was hair-raising. Perhaps only the spiritual energy density within the Emperor Dongsheng’s residence in the entire East Victory Immortal Dynasty could rival this current situation.
The Zi Zai independent cultivator looked at the carefree Liang Sheng, seemingly indifferent to what he had just done and asked a question he couldn’t help but vocalize.
“Disciple, are you really not worried about the situation to come? You might be in for a lot of trouble afterwards.”
But Liang Sheng really wasn’t perturbed by this, as everything was within his calculations. In fact, if Zi Zai was not present, he wouldn’t have planned this way.
“Master, didn’t you once say that if disciples of the Free Sect wish to attain freedom, how can they be free of trouble? Shouldn’t a newly-initiated disciple of the Free Sect tread fearlessly?”
Upon hearing these words, the Zi Zai independent cultivator couldn’t help but look at his disciple in even higher regard. It astounded him how candidly his disciple deduced the circumstances of Free Sect disciples with his brief comments.
What was even more surprising was his decision to not only accept his fate but to also expedite the process with careful planning.
He himself did not have this wisdom back in his younger days!
In retrospect, his journey was littered with thorns. In this aspect, he was inferior to his disciple.
However, thinking about it from another perspective, if this disciple continues unfettered, his accomplishments would certainly be higher than his own.
Thinking of this, the Zi Zai independent cultivator laughed.
“What you say is true, my disciple. If you desire freedom, you cannot attain it without sacrifice. In this respect, you are doing even better than I had imagined.”
As he said this, he looked up to the sky. His voice was faint, yet it resonated with an outlandish air of dominance.
“Since you are prepared for this, proceed as you wish. For anything beyond your ability, you need not worry. Your master will stand by to support you.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng’s heart warmed but he refrained from discussing the matter further and instead outlined his incoming plans.
“Master, I am afraid I will have to trouble you in the coming days because it seems I am about to make a breakthrough following this trip to the Spiritual Vein.”
Upon hearing this, Zi Zai was slightly taken aback, he then quickly understood what was happening.
“You’ve seized an opportunity in the Spiritual Vein? Very well, very well, my disciple. You go and close-off for cultivation. With me here, no one will be able to disturb you.”
Liang Sheng did not say any words of gratitude, but bowed down in respect; his frame full of thanks unsaid. Following this, he disappeared from Zi Zai’s sight.
Liang Sheng had not lied this time because he was genuinely on the brink of a breakthrough. This breakthrough was the last stage of refining the spirit from Qi that signified the end of the late-stage soul emergence.
If he could advance smoothly beyond this point, he would reach the new world beyond the ‘Refining the God and Reversing the Void’ realm.
By that time, all under heaven was at his disposal, as the Immortal Dynasty Competition was still far off and Liang Sheng had ample time to grow.
This breakthrough was not a surprise, as Liang Sheng had already demonstrated his capabilities of the Divinity Transformation Realm in front of Zi Zai. This was done to allay any doubts in advance.
Moreover, he didn’t have to worry about being found out by the old Zi Zai, with the layers of protections he had set up, combined with the concealment properties of his data panel, not even Zi Zai could make anything out, even if he was right next to him.
Moreover, he had a backup plan. At this moment, Zhou Shen had copious amounts of the Heaven and Earth Spine within him, enough to allow him to immediately enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, right after breaking through the early stage.
With Zhou Shen’s breakthrough serving as a smokescreen, his own breakthrough seems more natural and less significant.
After all, this is a Dao Lord in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, who hadn’t reached three hundred years of age yet – a gifted child among gifted children. In the entire Immortal Dynasty, no one could ignore the existence of Zhou Shen.
As for Zi Zai’s previous statement that his plans would cause trouble, Liang Sheng had a different viewpoint.
At this moment, the Outer Heaven Beast Swamp was open and the Seeking Truth lineage had already entered. Between returning to the Immortal City and capturing the members of the Seeking Truth Lineage, Liang Sheng firmly believed that they would choose to stay outside; at least Chunyangzi would choose to capture the members of the Seeking Truth lineage, and at most Feng Yuan would return to the Longevity Immortal City.
These were the scenes Liang Sheng saw under the rule of cause and effect. As long as there were no other unexpected factors, this result was as good as decided, so why be concerned?
However, once he returned to his room, Liang Sheng continued to be cautious. He confirmed once again that his plan had no loopholes before calming his mind and sitting down on the floor.
The ancient techniques within his body instantly started operating. As Liang Sheng closed his eyes, only one thought occupied his mind.
Today will be the day he breaks through the final stage!
…
Outer Heaven Beast Swamp.
At this moment, Chunyangzi arrived at the Beast Swamp with Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child among others. But as soon as they entered, Chunyangzi couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
The swamp was desolate, yellow sand everywhere. Whenever wind rose, sand would fly into the air. Added to that was the Beast Swamp’s unique murky spiritual energy, which was not suitable for cultivators from the Immortal Dynasty.
However, this was not the time to dwell on these issues. The Seeking Truth Lineage had already entered the Beast Swamp. Upon arrival, they would surely rush to find the Ancient Desolate Springs.
However, the Ancient Desolate Springs appeared randomly in undetermined locations, making it impossible for anyone to accurately track them down. Most people could only choose a direction based on their instincts.
However, the Seeking Truth Lineage was different. They were more sensitive to the springs than ordinary cultivators, thus their chances of finding the springs were higher.
