The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Had he broken through? Wei Zhao was dumbfounded. He had never broken through before, nor ever felt that brimming, about-to-burst feeling at the critical point of a breakthrough. He was at a loss for words. He had thought he was going to explode, only to find he had broken through instead.
No wonder Jiao Yazi had worn that teasing look. It seemed he had foreseen this outcome all along.
Sure enough, Jiao Yazi spoke. "Broke through? How is it? Feels good, does it not?"
"It feels good enough, but I never expected the energy here to be so powerful that I would break through directly. It gave me quite a fright." Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile.
"You were already at the critical point of breaking through. It was only that the environment outside was too poor, without enough energy for you to break through in one go." Jiao Yazi said with a chuckle. "Here energy is abundant. The moment you entered cultivation, you naturally broke through in an instant."
With Jiao Yazi's explanation, Wei Zhao understood. He had already cultivated to the late stage of the first layer, only lacking sufficient conditions to break through, and because energy was so abundant here, he had been able to break through in an instant. As for that sudden flood of energy into his body, it would likely only occur at the very moment of breakthrough and would not happen during ordinary cultivation.
"Thank you... Mr. Jiao." Wei Zhao bowed sincerely to Jiao Yazi. Whatever else, he was deeply grateful for Jiao Yazi's help.
Seeing Wei Zhao so solemn, Jiao Yazi was rather taken aback, and after a moment said. "All right, boy, do not be so formal. From now on call me Elder Jiao or Old Jiao, either is fine. Forget this Mr. Jiao..."
"Then I will call you Elder Jiao." Wei Zhao nodded. "Elder Jiao, I wonder if I can now go on to cultivate the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Slaying Art?"
"The second layer? Do you even have it?" Jiao Yazi asked back, startled.
"Ah? Do you not have it?" Wei Zhao was also startled and looked at Jiao Yazi in surprise.
"You never entered the stone door to take out the second layer. Where would I get it?" Jiao Yazi said speechlessly.
"Is this not the cultivation manual left by your grand-uncle master? Have you never cultivated it?" Wei Zhao was even more speechless.
"Just because my grand-uncle master left it, must I have cultivated it?" Jiao Yazi rolled his eyes. "The path I cultivate is different from this. Only you can practice this. I cannot."
"Ah? Is that so..." Wei Zhao scratched his head awkwardly. He had been limited by ordinary thinking. What Jiao Yazi said was quite right. Just because his grand-uncle master had left something behind did not mean he had to cultivate it.
"If I knew it, why would I tell you to hurry and enter the stone door?" Jiao Yazi said helplessly. "Do not count on me to help you with anything. I am only an illusion. My function is much like a guide. I only explain the uses of this cultivation space to you, and keep you company to relieve your boredom when free... As for everything else, you will have to rely on yourself."
Hearing Jiao Yazi's blunt words, Wei Zhao was left speechless. It seemed there was no chance to slack off... But now that he had broken through the first layer, and there were still some days left before the five-year deadline, what should he do in the meantime?
