"The Rising Dragon Conference ends here, and you have all received your Reward. You are free to leave now," said Night Sky Bright of the Heavenly Martial Academy Inner Court, looking at the ten individuals.
"Haha, for the next two days, we should relax in Jizhou City. This Rising Dragon Conference has been so tense; we haven't had a proper rest," said Situ Kong, stretching after Night Sky Bright left and looking around with a laugh.
"Then let's leave this place. After a month of hard work, it's time to take a break," Ren Pingsheng also said with a smile, and then they left one after another.
Jizhou City was not affected by their departure over the past month. The other geniuses from the Nine Great States were thriving here as well; every day the Arena in Jizhou City was bustling with noise, discussing who won and who lost. Many martial artists came to watch those geniuses showcase their skills.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively here; it seems they are also unwilling to be lonely," said Situ Kong, looking at the distant Arena with some emotion. He had once been here, facing off against geniuses from all directions, and now watching others battle reminded him of himself not long ago.
"Now that the Rising Dragon Conference is over, what are your plans?" asked Ren Pingsheng, looking into the distance.
"I should go back and prepare to break through my cultivation as soon as possible. Then I'll go out to Experience."
"I probably won't go back; I plan to travel around Jizhou. After all, it's rare to come here," said Tang Sheng, dressed in white, calmly.
"Breaking through the King Level Boundary isn't easy. The evolution of Profound Meaning isn't difficult, but that last step is tough. If there's an opportunity, I might comprehend it quickly; without one, it could take years without any gains. In my opinion, it's better to go out and Experience, as that might lead to an earlier breakthrough."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. I'll think about it when I get back!" Situ Kong pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, I plan to stay here for a while longer until some matters are resolved. Then I'll travel back," said Ren Pingsheng, turning and smiling.
"I knew you wouldn't return so soon. The journey back to Snow State is not short; it might take you over a decade."
"Whether long or short, isn't that the way of cultivators? For the sake of breaking through their cultivation, they won't stay in one place for too long. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Haha, you're right. This time at the Rising Dragon Conference, your Snow State really made a name for itself. Three out of the top ten are from Snow State; I wonder how envious the other factions must be!" Situ Kong joked.
"Well, some people might not be too happy about it. We are like a thorn in their side, stealing their thunder. They probably hate us by now," Ren Pingsheng said with a hint of helplessness. His relationship with the Xuanjian Sect wasn't exactly good, and considering they had stolen the spotlight from them again, would they really be in a good mood?
At that moment, in the palace where the geniuses of Snow State resided, Xuan Wudao sat with a gloomy expression. It was clear he was in a bad mood; ever since coming out of the Ascension Pool, he had been like this.
The reason was simple. He had clearly overheard Ren Pingsheng and Situ Kong's conversation. That guy Ren Pingsheng, whom he despised, had actually comprehended two types of Profound Meaning, one more than him.
When he was in the Ascension Pool, after comprehending one type of Profound Meaning, he hesitated about whether to continue. Eventually, due to uncertainty about time, he gave up and instead focused on refining and enhancing his Profound Meaning.
After all, entering the Ascension Pool and comprehending one type of Profound Meaning was already quite impressive. Coupled with the one he had comprehended before, breaking through to King Level Boundary with two types of Profound Meaning would definitely make his strength formidable. However, upon learning that Ren Pingsheng had comprehended two types of Profound Meaning, his initial excitement vanished.
"This damn Ren Pingsheng, how can he be so powerful? I am the number one genius of Snow State; no one can surpass me," Xuan Wudao cursed fiercely.
"This time when I return, I must take the opportunity to eliminate him. That way, no one will ever surpass me again," he whispered ominously.
Although Ren Pingsheng knew that the people from Xuanjian Sect wouldn't treat him kindly, he had no idea that Xuan Wudao had already developed murderous intent against him so quickly.
The next day, all the geniuses in the palace gathered together. Now that the Rising Dragon Conference had concluded and the ten who entered the Ascension Pool had come out, it was time for them to return as well. Those states that did not make it into the top ten had already left early.
"Alright, everyone is here; we should head back now." The elder speaking was the leader of Snow State this time, a King Level Boundary expert who brought these geniuses along. He was also from Xuanjian Sect, but Ren Pingsheng did not recognize him.
“Senior, I am not planning to go back. I want to stay here and experience Jizhou,” Ren Pingsheng stood up, joined by a few others who felt the same way. They all thought it was a rare opportunity to come here and wanted to enhance their strength before leaving.
“Oh, since you have made that decision, we will not stop you. However, the outside is quite dangerous, so be careful and don’t lose your lives,” the old man reminded them due to Ren Pingsheng's reputation.
“Thank you, Senior. I will be careful.” Ren Pingsheng's decision caught Xuan Wudao off guard; he had originally planned to return to Snow State to take action against him, but that plan had to be shelved. He considered staying as well, but unfortunately, he was not Ren Pingsheng's match.
Ren Pingsheng declined the invitations from several other talented individuals who also wanted to stay. After parting ways with Tang Sheng, who was going out for travel, he found an inn in Jizhou City to stay in. He planned to consume the Concentration Pill here before leaving. Although this item was good, its value could only be realized when transformed into strength.
Taking the Concentration Pill was not too troublesome. It just needed to be swallowed and refined directly. The more he refined it, the greater his understanding of Profound Meaning would become. Once he finished refining it completely, it would lose its effect.
As for the specific time required, it was not fixed. However, refining it would take about five days. Of course, there was another benefit: if for some reason the process was interrupted midway, it would still be fine. He could find a time to continue refining it later. The only downside was that the effect might be slightly less than if he refined it all at once.
In other words, there were no overly rigid restrictions. After taking it, only starting the refining process would yield results. If he stopped, the effect would disappear, but he could continue refining next time until it was completely refined.
“My Cloud's Profound Meaning reached a ten percent understanding at the Ascension Pool. This time I will continue to comprehend it so that I can maximize my strength.” Sitting on the bed in the inn, Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and made his decision. He tilted his head back and swallowed a Concentration Pill.
As he closed his eyes, Cloud Mist began to fill the entire room. Gradually, the Cloud Mist thickened until nothing could be seen. It continuously changed shapes, swirling around Ren Pingsheng's surroundings.
Ren Pingsheng easily entered the Cloud's Profound Meaning space again or rather attained a similar comprehension speed as in that space. Various insights regarding Cloud's Profound Meaning surged into his mind. He absorbed them one by one as they flowed into his own Profound Meaning.
The ten percent understanding of Cloud's Profound Meaning began to grow slowly again. Not to mention this increase in comprehension; even at ten percent, Cloud's Profound Meaning was terrifying for a Half-Step Monarch. It should be noted that during the finals of the Rising Dragon Conference, those top ten extraordinary talents had their Profound Meaning comprehension around five points and none exceeded six points.
In contrast, he had evolved Cloud's Profound Meaning in the Ascension Pool and had reached a ten percent understanding level; this indicated that his current strength was three or four times greater than during the Rising Dragon Conference.
Although other geniuses also gained something in the Ascension Pool, after taking the Concentration Pill, the understanding of the Profound Meaning would likely exceed ten percent. However, when he finishes his comprehension this time, it will still surpass theirs by a large margin.
In the room, Cloud Mist swirled, and no one knew that the first place of the Rising Dragon Conference was cultivating here. This time, Jizhou City felt even quieter due to the departure of the geniuses from the Nine Provinces. Nevertheless, it remained bustling with activity, with crowds flowing like a river. Discussions about the Rising Dragon Conference never ceased.
Time passed, and five days went by. In the Inn, Ren Pingsheng was still surrounded by Cloud Mist, but these Cloud Mist had become more agile, swirling around with numerous illusions that made it hard to discern direction. Occasionally, some mischievous ones would flutter about more violently, stirring up Void Ripples.
Gradually, the Cloud Mist began to swirl faster around Ren Pingsheng. Then they started to disappear little by little or rather began to merge into Ren Pingsheng's body.
Finally, all the Cloud Mist in the room vanished. After sitting for five days, Ren Pingsheng slowly opened his eyes. His face showed a hint of joy; it seemed that this cultivation session had yielded significant results.
"I have comprehended two-tenths of Cloud's Profound Meaning, but unfortunately it seems I've hit a bottleneck. No matter what, it's difficult to make further progress; otherwise, I might have advanced a bit more," he sighed with some regret.
It is said that taking the Concentration Pill can condense and enhance one's Profound Meaning by about ten percent; naturally, there are variations—some might even see an increase of just a fraction. However, for a genius like him, a ten percent increase is merely a conservative estimate. Exceeding ten percent is quite natural.
His understanding of Cloud's Profound Meaning only increased by ten percent this time, which left him somewhat disappointed. However, considering that his initial understanding was already at ten percent, it is understandable that reaching this state now is reasonable.
"With Cloud's Profound Meaning at its limit, it seems that only after breaking through my cultivation can I continue to comprehend it. For now, I can only look at other Profound Meanings. What Profound Meaning should I comprehend this time?" Ren Pingsheng pondered while looking at another Concentration Pill in his hand, lightly furrowing his brow as he spoke to himself.
"If maximizing my strength is the goal, then I should comprehend Wood's Profound Meaning from Four Parts. Moreover, this Profound Meaning is quite useful; it's best for healing and would be beneficial."
In the end, he chose Wood's Profound Meaning without any particular reason other than to enhance his strength more quickly. It should be noted that he had already practiced King-Level Sword Technique with Wood's Profound Meaning; the higher his comprehension, the greater its power would be.
