My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Walking behind Xiong Li, Wu Gang was filled with anxiety.

He had heard countless tales about the Great Master.

The Great Master was already a figurehead in his mind, a cultivator of great power stronger than an immortal person.

He was even more powerful than the Golden Immortality his father often spoke of.

"Great Master, here's Wu Gang, please take a look at him and see if he has the potential to become an immortal," Xiong Li said.

The moment Wu Gang heard this, he grew more nervous. He had heard his parents say this time and time again.

Before he had a chance to see the Great Master, he heard a gentle voice.

"In this world, everything is possible. There are no absolutes."

"Let me take a look at this child."

Wu Gang stepped out from behind Xiong Li, and timidly turned his eyes toward the legendary Great Master.

A man with a gentle demeanor, he seemed no different from the boy next door.

"That's the Body of Myriad Pounds, requiring excessive food, the more you cultivate, the more you need to eat. By the time you reach the Integration Stage, the typical support from an Immortal Sect won't suffice," Xu Fan said, placing a hand lightly on Wu Gang's shoulder.

"There is no such thing as absolutes in this world, you just need to find the right method," Xu Fan said, then turned to Wu Gang with a gentle voice, "Boy, are you scared?"

"I am not scared of pain, but I am afraid of hunger~" Wu Gang candidly replied.

"That's good."

A soft breeze lifted Wu Gang into the sky and then he was surrounded by a pure blue protective shield.

Not much later, the agonizing cries of Wu Gang echoed from within the shield.

"Great Master~" Xiong Li looked worriedly at the screaming Wu Gang within the shield.

"In order to fully understand the Body of Myriad Pounds, I need to analyse and splice his soul. As there are no solutions even in the Immortal World, ordinary methods simply won't work," Xu Fan said calmly despite Wu Gang's screams.

"Wu Gang, can you persist? If you cannot, let me know." Xu Fan's voice carried into Wu Gang's ears.

"Great Master... I can... persist. I want to cultivate... immortality. I want to...

get first place for the Academy. I want to make... Senior Brother Xiong Li proud!"

Wu Gang's firm words were muffled by his cries.

Xu Fan nodded, and finally, a sliver of Wu Gang's soul — the very source of it, without any damage — was drawn out.

"Take this bottle of Sacred Soul Pill, consume one pill every day, and you should be fine in three days." Xu Fan handed a bottle of elixir to Xiong Li.

"On behalf of Wu Gang, I thank you, Great Master."

The protective shield in the sky disappeared and, without support, Wu Gang plummeted from the sky into Xiong Li's waiting arms.

"Give me a few days, and I'll figure out why the Body of Myriad Pounds cannot achieve immortality."

"Take Wu Gang back and let him rest~"

After offering his respects, Xiong Li took the unconscious Wu Gang and flew back toward the Academy.

Xu Fan tidied up the sliver of Wu Gang's soul that he extracted, as there were more pressing matters at hand.

Deep in the underground space, he saw his No. 3 Clone, on standby.

The Peach Blossom Spring Map appeared alongside the spiritual mine that was used to repair it in the Refining Palace.

Xu Fan's palm conjured up a blue light cluster about the size of a ping pong ball which contained the entire course and all the steps for repairing the Peach Blossom Spring Map. He needed to synchronize it with his No. 3 Clone so that it could repair the Peach Blossom Spring Map.

"This is the problem with not granting wisdom to spirits. They need specific instructions for something slightly complex," Xu Fan said as he imprinted the Light Cluster into the brow of his No. 3 Clone.

After that, the No. 3 Clone started to repair the Peach Blossom Spring Map as if a stand-by robot had received commands.

"Repairing an Acquired Spiritual Treasure truly takes decades, but the time spent is worth it."

"Pu Tao, analyze Wu Gang's Soul Source for me and simulate Wu Gang's Cultivation Path. Find the most suitable method for him to break through his Body of Myriad Pounds' limit," Xu Fan said, sending a sliver of Wu Gang's Soul Source to Pu Tao's main body.

He had briefly analyzed it earlier and found that it was not something too difficult to solve, so he handed it over to Pu Tao.

In the early morning, Xu Fan sat in the small courtyard, watching as 200 Dharma Aspects of blood qi in the sky practiced the first set of the Broadcast Gymnastics of Five Elements Body Refining.

"Master, this scene is absolutely spectacular. Having 8.3 million disciples cultivating together the same body refining art, I never thought it would create such a grand phenomenon," Xu Gang exclaimed from behind Xu Fan.

"This is nothing; if these blood qi Dharma Aspects gather together, they could suppress ghosts and Yin spirits within a radius of Ten Thousand Miles. Once cultivated to the 10th set of Broadcast Gymnastics, it can directly repel a Golden Immortal," Xu Fan said while looking at the Dharma Aspects in the sky and laughing.

Previously, due to the limited number of Sect Disciples, some advantages could not be fully exploited.

But now with more Sect Disciples, group combat will be carried out in the future.

For this reason, Xu Fan specifically deduced a unique set of body refining Broadcast Gymnastics, and also slightly modified the Five Elements Art.

The power in individual battle is equivalent to the regular Five Elements Art when it's cultivated alone.

But once the number of people increase, reaching thousands or even tens of thousands and above; as long as everyone's intentions are aligned, a magical effect will be created.

Of course, these are all within Xu Fan's deductions, and he has not had time to test the real effects yet.

"Master, the result of Wu Gang's Body of Myriad Pounds is out," Pu Tao's voice sounded.

"Why can't the Body of Myriad Pounds achieve immortality?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"The Body of Myriad Pounds is most suitable for body refining with the Swallowing Dao. The key is to have the guiding tune of Golden Immortal level in Swallowing Dao, to promote to the Quasi-Immortal."

"Because there are very few cultivators practicing the Swallowing Dao in the Cultivation World, even fewer can cultivate to the point of Golden Immortal. "

"So, there are no Golden Immortal cultivators since ancient times who were willing to consume their own origin to form a Swallowing Dao guide for the Body of Myriad Pounds," Pu Tao explained.

"So that's how it is. But I don't think Wu Gang has the talent to cultivate the Swallowing Dao," Xu Fan said.

"That is why there has never been a Body of Myriad Pounds that successfully achieved immortality since ancient times."

"So, we need you, Master, to merge a Swallowing Dao Law Fragment into Wu Gang's body for the later cultivation of Swallowing Dao."

"That's simple." Xu Fan raised his hand gently, and a glass orb-like 'Swallowing Dao Law Fragment' appeared in his palm.

"Giving up so much just for this, once cultivating to immortal level, how strong will the combat power be?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"As long as it does not encounter a cultivator of the same rank like you, Master, it will almost be invincible."

"Accumulate more to give slightly. Before reaching the Mortal Dao Realm, the cultivator can only endure a bit more compared to ordinary cultivators."

"Once achieving immortality, there will be earth-shattering changes," Pu Tao said.

"Reasonable, I'm looking forward to his changes after achieving immortality," Xu Fan said with a smile.

Afterwards, Xu Fan, with great interest, observed the courses of the academy in his small courtyard.

In a large dormitory building, Bear Strength Master appeared in Wu Gang's dormitory.

"Senior Brother Xiong Li, have they found out why I cannot become an immortal?" Wu Gang asked anxiously.

"With the Great Master handling matters, nothing can't be solved."

"Take this pill, and later, you'll cultivate the Cultivation Technique specially deduced by the Great Master for you," Bear Strength Master said as he took out a bottle of pills and a Jade Disc and placed them next to Wu Gang's bed.
