Chapter 94 — Early to Bed, Early to Awesome
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"If you had entered this place ten years ago, not to boast, but by a conservative estimate you would already have broken through the third level by now." Jiao Yazi spoke with a face full of regret. "As for your current age, though breaking through the third level is no great difficulty, the older you grow, the greater the obstacle will become."
"..." Wei Zhao felt like weeping but had no tears. Back then, his diligence had truly been his own undoing. The moment he received the Xuanyuan Dragon-Slaying Formula, he had thrown himself into cultivation, and look where it had landed him. Had he known, he might as well have just gone to sleep.
"Ah, but do not be discouraged. Though you cannot become a fearsome figure like my martial grand-uncle, roaming the outer reaches of space, breaking through the third level is impressive enough." Seeing Wei Zhao's disappointment, Jiao Yazi consoled him. "Who knows, maybe you will get another genetic mutation and become top-tier awesome all at once. Hard to say."
Hearing Jiao Yazi's words, Wei Zhao did feel somewhat better. If things were as Jiao Yazi said, that would not be bad at all. He thought: this Xuanyuan Dragon-Slaying Formula, cultivated only to the late stage of the first level, had already brought him endless benefits. So if he broke through the third level, would he not become even more formidable? At that thought, Wei Zhao felt he need not be so greedy after all.
"You mean I have a chance to break through the first level right now?" Having come around, Wei Zhao was naturally somewhat delighted.
"Naturally." Jiao Yazi nodded. "The energy contained in this space is several times, even several dozen times, that of the outside world. Your cultivation speed in here will likewise be several times faster than outside, especially at the moment of breakthrough. Because the outside environment is harsh and the energy thin, it cannot supply the vast energy required at the instant of breakthrough. That is an important reason why you have repeatedly failed to break through."
"Ah?" This was the first time Wei Zhao had heard about energy. Originally, when he cultivated, he did indeed absorb something like true qi from nature, but he had never known what it was. Perhaps in some wuxia novel it would be called true qi, but it was what Jiao Yazi called "energy."
"Still, I advise you to stop with all this 'I' and 'you' and hurry up and cultivate. The mechanism on that stone gate was set up by my martial grand-uncle himself back in the day. Never mind that I am only an illusion now. Even if my true self were here, I could not force it open." Jiao Yazi glanced at Wei Zhao and said flatly. "If you do not want to miss this five-year deadline, then stop wasting words."
Wei Zhao was startled. That was right. The five-year deadline was indeed almost upon him. Yet he had never expected that by sheer accident he would discover such an earth-shaking secret of the jade pendant.
He had thought the jade pendant was merely a mysterious object that could foretell fortune and misfortune, but never imagined it was actually a cultivation space, and that inside it a man named Jiao Yazi was waiting for him.
From Jiao Yazi's earlier words, Wei Zhao had roughly understood: this Xuanyuan Dragon-Slaying Formula and the jade pendant had been left behind by a martial grand-uncle of Jiao Yazi's. What kind of extraordinary figure that martial grand-uncle was, Wei Zhao did not know. The only thing he knew for certain was that he had stumbled into a tremendous bargain.
