Chapter 190 - Persuading The Elders

He then looked at the elders and continued with an intensely sad look appearing in his face, "My father and mother who went out to search and source for rare, legendary and transcendental items that could possibly help me to cultivate again, even it was only to a particular low-rank level, unfortunately lost their beautiful and bright lives in doing so for me."

"And so, I was all alone, growing up in the street as a useless and disabled young boy that even the weakest human pounced on and constantly beat blue black over amazingly silly things."

"Then when I made up mind to kill myself since there was nothing left for me in this world, as I was basically useless and disabled, and my parent who will comfort me always had died because of me, I decided to take my life. And so, I climbed to the top of a particular mountain since I was highly determined to take my own life and go join my parent wherever they were. Then I jumped down from there to my death. But before I could impact the ground and turn into mist of blood, something shocking and miraculous unexpectedly happened."

Once Xiao Lin said that and produced a smile in his face, he continued, "My Animal Spirit that caused great damage to my body and dantian, suddenly unleashed a type of mysterious sealing power that fully encompassed my dantian and my entire body, which then gave me the strength, toughness and durability to withstand the impact at falling from such a great height."

Xiao Lin then stopped talking and gazed at the elders who had developed absolutely shocked expressions in their faces. They couldn't believe what Xiao Lin just said.

"Wow!" An elder said with intense amazement in his eyes.

He then spoke further, "So, your Animal Spirit, upon your great fall to your death, unexpectedly unleashed a sealing power that encompassed both your dantian and your body, preventing you from bursting into mist of blood once you will make contact with the solid brown ground due to the tremendous velocity that you plunged at, right?"

"Yes, elder" Xiao Lin politely responded with a nod of his head.

"Hmm. I am terrifyingly amazed by your Animal Spirit, Devil Fang. It will certainly possess great power that will lead you to the path where you can claim to be one of the strongest in the world. I am absolutely certain of that." The elder speaking to Xiao Lin said, he then said further with his brows furrowed, "But lad, can I see your Animal Spirit? I want to take a good look at it. Please do conjure it for my observation."

"I apologize about that elder because I wouldn't be able to do so. My Animal Spirit is slumbering and is far from within my reach. I borrowed it Spiritual Power too much to escape from a certain, high-level cultivator that wanted to viciously destroy me, leaving it totally exhausted, senior. But when it finally awakens from it deep slumber that it has been in for many months now, you will be first to know about it. " Xiao Lin said with a deep apologetic look in his face. However, he knew within him that he wouldn't show anyone how his Animal Spirit looked like. He was only saying that to make the elder not get angry at him, since he wouldn't be able to summon it so that he could take an in-depth observatory look at it.

"Hmm. Alright then. However, make sure you do as you said, boy" The elder said while Xiao Lin nodded his head.

Once that elder finished talking, another elder came forward and asked, "So, it was your Animal Spirit that allowed you to be able to cultivate those two internal energies that you displayed at the examination ground?"

"Yes, elder. It was my Animal Spirit's mystical sealing power that engulfed my dantian and sealed it up that prevented energies from leaking from it. So, because of that attribute of it sealing power which enveloped my dantian, I discovered that it allowed me to be able to cultivate those two energies that you saw me reveal at the discipleship trial ground, senior." Xiao Lin answered, twisting the truth as he mentioned it to them with an unwavering voice.

He then said further with a concealed mischievous look appearing in his face, "Furthermore, since it allowed me to be able to cultivate two different energies at once, I have a feeling that it should allow me to be able to cultivate much more energies, due to it unusual sealing power. Therefore, I want seniors to please allow me to cultivate in all the departments previously listed to my colleagues. I believe that I should be able to cultivate all the energies studied in those departments due to my special dantian"

Once Xiao Lin said that, the elders looked at him for sometime and began to look at each other with intensely surprised expressions in their faces.

Then the First Elder who called Xiao Lin back to ask him questions related to his dantian and his marveling ability to cultivate dual energies, began to ask him questions that came up in his mind, "Why do want to cultivate that many energies? You of all people should know that cultivating many energies at once is something that is totally forbidden in our world. You are lucky that the unseen powers that set down the laws and sub-laws of our boundlessly vast universe haven't phenomenally appeared before you to strike you down. Furthermore, apart from being noticed by those nonchalant, invisible primal entities that were were birthed before the formation of our world, the immense continents and the innumerable forms of creatures in it, you should be able to understand that cultivation of so many energies at once will tremendously slow you down to the point of stagnating your cultivation growth. Where do you want to get the increasingly large amounts of corresponding, consummate cultivation materials and resources to be able to keep up with the cultivation of those energies that you are cultivating, heh?"

Xiao Lin who was staring at the elder as he spoke, then looked at him with a smiling expression in his face and said, "Senior, do not be alarmed in any way by what I said. Since I have made up my mind to do it, then I can do it. The thing about me is that anything that I set out to do, I always try all means to accomplish them in anyway whatsoever, senior. So, don't let the fear of primordial beings that we don't know if they are truly existing, to make you stop me from trying to cultivating many energies that will be of great benefit to me in the future, senior"

Once Xiao Lin said that, he continued before any of the astonished elders standing before him on that elevated platform could speak, "Then to what you asked me about, which is that would I be able to really cultivate the different internal energies without unintentionally stagnating my cultivation growth, since they would all require large amounts of excellent cultivation materials which would increase at an exponential rate in every cultivation stage that I enter? Actually, elders, I have come to a concrete conclusion that the growths of my energies are completely independent of each other. They aren't mutually interdependent on one another, as they don't rely on each others growth to exhibit the powers that they inherently possess. Therefore, if I stop cultivating one due to my lack of ability to be able to acquire and gather large heaps of cultivation resources for it, it wouldn't affect the growth of the others in any way, senior."

"However, I don't plan on stopping the growth of any of them, simply because I couldn't find perfect or pristine cultivation resources and items for them, or that they became much more difficult to cultivate along the way. No, that's not how miserably weak my determination is, elders."

"So, as someone of great and unyielding resoluteness, I will make sure that they rise to the peak, everyone of them. That's my resolve, elders, and I hope that you don't stop me from achieving what I want for myself, and what will surely benefit the sect in the distant future, since I will become strong enough to single-handedly stop or ward off any form of calamity or disaster that will direct it gaze of carnage and death to this place, seniors." Xiao Lin mentioned with a confident look in his face as he gazed at the elders standing on the platform before him.

Aii!

One of the elders sighed and looked at the other elders who stood by his side, "Fellow colleagues, I think he is right. We have to let him do what he wants, as long as he is totally sure of himself that what he plans on plunging his hands into wouldn't retard his cultivation growth in any way. And from the way that he spoke, I am certain that what he plans to do will surely become a beaconing success to all, making our sect even more popular for birthing a monstrously-talented, rare cultivation genius.. So, let's allow him to do what he wants and how it pleases him."
