In the Gathering Spirit Array, Ren Pingsheng consolidated his cultivation and carefully reviewed the records about Extraordinary Meridians in White Fur before attempting to open the first Meridian, Dai Mai.
The Extraordinary Meridians include Ren Meridian, Du Mai, Chong Mai, Dai Mai, Yin Qiao Mai, Yang Qiao Meridian, Yin Wei Mai, and Yangwei Meridian. They are inherently blocked, making their cultivation significantly more challenging than opening the twelve regular meridians. The time required is also much greater.
After understanding everything clearly, Ren Pingsheng began to gather the Spiritual Energy within him to impact Dai Mai. He quickly discovered the difficulties involved. If the previous twelve regular meridians were like a dam full of ant holes that had begun to leak, then the Extraordinary Meridians were like an intact dam without any flaws, requiring a gradual approach to grind and impact them. This greatly increased the consumption of Spiritual Energy.
Fortunately, the Gathering Spirit Array provided ample Spiritual Energy, so there was no need to worry in this regard. Ren Pingsheng continuously drew upon the vast Spiritual Energy to break through the obstacles in Dai Mai.
After thousands of failures, he finally achieved some results; he managed to open a portion of the Meridian. Although it was only a slight opening, it still surprised Ren Pingsheng. This was a spark of hope that could one day ignite into a raging fire.
As twenty days passed by day by day, Ren Pingsheng's achievements in the Gathering Spirit Array grew larger; he had already opened two-thirds of Dai Mai. Cultivating under such abundant Spiritual Energy for twenty days equated to three months of results outside.
"What a pity; if I could cultivate here for another ten days, I could completely open Dai Mai," Ren Pingsheng said with a regretful shake of his head.
"Successor, your time is almost up; you must leave here," a figure floated over.
"Um... Senior, the effects of this Gathering Spirit Array are excellent; I wonder if I can take it with me?"
"This is a pre-arranged formation and cannot be taken away. However, the method to set it up is quite simple; I can tell you about it. Just know that your effectiveness may be somewhat diminished due to your current strength."
"That's fine; even if it's less effective, it's better than ordinary cultivation results," Ren Pingsheng replied happily.
"In light of our acquaintance, I'll give you this Jade Tablet and this Jade Tablet. The first Jade Tablet contains records of the formation. The second Jade Tablet is a rare treasure that can calm the mind and increase Spiritual Energy absorption and refining speed by fifty percent." With a wave of his hand, two Jade Tablets flew over from an unknown source.
"Increasing Spiritual Energy absorption speed by fifty percent means I can break through my cultivation faster. Thank you so much, Senior! I will not let you down."
"With that said, I can rest easy. Lastly, let me remind you: if you wish to break through to become a Divine-Level Expert in the future, cultivation, Soul, and body are all indispensable. Therefore, you must not neglect any of these three aspects."
"Rest assured, Senior; I will remember your words," Ren Pingsheng respectfully bowed. Although he did not fully understand yet, he firmly etched those words in his heart.
"Alright, go!" With a wave of the figure's hand, Ren Pingsheng vanished without a trace.
"Sigh, rebirth from the ashes, but can this really lead to transcendence and immortality?" The murmured self-talk drifted through the vast space.
In a whirl of motion, Ren Pingsheng appeared at the summit of Eagle Mountain.
Looking at the unchanged Eagle Mountain, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. Five months had passed unknowingly. Before coming out, he hadn't expected to be gone for so long. He thought it would take at most one or two months to resolve everything. Unexpectedly, due to various events, it had taken five months.
"Time to head back; I need to focus on my cultivation for a while. Becoming a Warrior Strongman is not that easy," Ren Pingsheng glanced in a direction and swiftly descended the mountain.
It was daytime, and within the inner area of Azure Mist Mountain, Fierce Beasts still roamed occasionally. Ren Pingsheng mostly avoided them; if he couldn't evade, he would quickly deal with them. After about ten days, he finally returned to the isolated area around Huangshi Village.
Looking at Huangshi Village not far away, Ren Pingsheng's expression was somewhat complex. After his father left, there was nothing here that made him feel attached. Yet, the memories of the past thirteen years made him nostalgic.
For someone like him, who had chosen another path, these memories could only be kept in his heart. Perhaps he would remember them in the future or gradually forget them with time.
"Sigh, if I succeed in my cultivation in the future, maybe we will meet again. Otherwise, I might just end up buried in a foreign land." Ren Pingsheng sighed softly and then disappeared. No one knew he had been there, and naturally, no one felt sad about his departure.
This time he specifically bought a horse instead of hiring a slow-moving carriage like last time. Covering a thousand miles, he cultivated while on the move. Only now did he realize how powerful the Gathering Spirit Array in the inheritance space was. His current cultivation speed felt painfully slow, like that of a turtle.
"At this rate, it will take another two or three months to open up the Dai Mai. Calculating this way, each Meridian will take about five months to clear. To open all Extraordinary Meridians optimistically will take at least two years; that's too long!"
After waking from his cultivation state, Ren Pingsheng frowned and said helplessly. If it were just waiting for a year, he could accept it; however, two years felt excessive. For some geniuses, two years was enough for significant growth.
"However, having obtained the layout method for the Gathering Spirit Array this time, I must study it thoroughly after returning; that should save quite a bit of time."
Five days later, at the foot of Canglan Mountain, a person and a horse came to a stop. It was none other than Ren Pingsheng, looking travel-worn. After five days of travel, he had finally returned.
"I wonder how things are going in Black Crow Forest; anyway, even if the sect has suspicions now, there's no evidence against me. If they haven't discovered anything yet, that would be best."
"Buddy, you're free now." Ren Pingsheng gently patted the horse he had bought and let it go. Then he leisurely stepped onto the path up the mountain.
Soon, the higher-ups of Azure Wind Sword Sect received news of Ren Pingsheng's return.
At Azure Peak, in the Assembly Hall, Ren Pingsheng stood quietly below while three people sat above.
"Vice Master, I just got back; there's no need for such a grand welcome!" Feeling the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Ren Pingsheng deliberately smiled and said.
"Did you kill the First Elite Disciple of Tiger Howl Sect and Yunxing Sect?" Zhu Tianchao asked expressionlessly, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Uh... yes, I did." He admitted without any hesitation.
"Tsk tsk... so it really was you who killed them. I can see your strength is impressive! You've truly brought honor to our sect." Elder Wu exclaimed in surprise.
Zhu Tianchao also seemed to see Ren Pingsheng in a new light, sizing him up for a while before smiling and saying, "It seems that among those at Qi Refinement Stage, no one is your match anymore. Not bad! Not bad!"
If he knew that five months ago, besides the two sects' First Elite Disciples, a Mid-Level Warrior also died at Ren Pingsheng's hands, he wouldn't know what expression to make.
"Vice Master, this is our Azure Wind Sword Sect's fortune. With such a talent, we have hope for rising."
"Hehe, Ren Pingsheng, you're quite impressive. From now on, you can freely learn the techniques and sword skills in the Library. No more contribution points needed." Zhu Tianchao said with a smile, growing more satisfied with Ren Pingsheng.
"Thank you for your kindness, Vice Master!" Such benefits were too good to pass up; Ren Pingsheng replied cheerfully.
"There have been some incidents involving our disciples in Black Crow Forest. Do you know anything about it?" He shifted his tone and asked a somewhat sensitive question.
"Sigh, those Brothers Shi were indeed unfortunate. They were killed by those two from Tiger Howl Sect and Yunxing Sect. I arrived too late; although I managed to kill those two guys, unfortunately, I couldn't save them." Ren Pingsheng sighed and said with a look of sadness on his face. There was not a hint of flaw in his expression.
"Oh, is that so? Then they deserved it. If those two sects cause trouble again, I can be even more justified." Zhu Tianchao said with a look of realization.
"By the way, you need to be careful of Qin Shan from the Yunxing Sect. The deceased Zhang Han was his disciple. I don't know where he got the news, but he's out to get you. However, as long as you stay within the sect, he won't dare to act."
"I see, thank you for the reminder, Vice Master. I will be cautious. If there's nothing else, I would like to go back and rest," Ren Pingsheng suddenly recalled what Cheng Hu had said at that time and appeared deep in thought.
"Alright, you can head back! You've probably been tired from being out these past few months," Zhu Tianchao waved his hand and didn't ask any further about where Ren Pingsheng had been during this time.
After Ren Pingsheng left, the Assembly Hall fell silent for a moment, as if everyone was contemplating something.
"I wonder if what he said is true?" Elder Wu sighed lightly.
"True or false, it doesn't matter to us. We won't suffer any losses. This path is paved with blood," Vice Master Bai, who had been silent until now, said with a light smile.
"Exactly. If we say it's true, then it is true; even if it's false, it becomes true. With such a genius among us, our Azure Wind Sword Sect will surely rise," Zhu Tianchao said solemnly.
They didn't care whether Ren Pingsheng's words were true or false. They certainly wouldn't give up on a genius for the sake of a few already deceased disciples.
Moreover, according to the Inner Sect Disciple's reports, those few had seriously violated sect rules. Kidnapping fellow disciples warranted severe punishment even if they hadn't died. Now that they were already dead, there was no need to investigate whether they were killed by the deceased Tiger Howl Sect and Yunxing Sect disciples or by Ren Pingsheng.
This isn't being heartless or indifferent. It's just the reality; the dead hold no value whatsoever. Therefore, one must strive to live well and better; only then will one have value. When you have value, others will pay attention to you.
This is the stark reality—cruel and true!
