Chapter 159 Darknight Creatures
“Well, this armor and that sword seemed quite stubborn but if you are called some of the strongest weapons in the world, I can understand why.” Brian felt sad about the vice-sect master’s past but he also understood these weapons.
“Of course, they are the weapons of the strongest people in this world. Vice Sect Master is an Ancestor Realm cultivator but with the help of that armor, he was able to go against Saints.”
“And, unlike Ancestor and Lord, Saint is a completely different realm. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say ‘Everyone in front of a Saint is a dog’. Basically, whether you are an Ancestor or Foundation Realm cultivator, in front of a Saint, it doesn’t matter.” Tu Che explained.
Hearing his words, Brian thought for a moment and nodded.
He began to understand the power of Saint. He couldn’t help but ask.
“How many saints are still alive in this world?”
His question paused Tu Che for a moment. He sighed.
“Not many! After a battle that occurred eight thousand years ago when Sword Ancestor Returned from Hell, a powerful battle erupted. Many Saints from all four races were slaughtered.”
“It wasn’t a battle between four races but a great battle against creatures of the Darknight. You can call them venom. You can call them ghosts. You can call them undead.”
“These were the creatures that came to our continent through an ancient portal. They wouldn’t die. Each one of them could take the lives of hundreds and thousands of people.”
“The four races were in devastating chaos. Thanks to the Sword Ancestor and many other ancestors of different sects and families and races, we managed to survive and destroy the portal.”
“But, the cost was too severe. We lost so many people not just from our continent but even from Hell. Thanks to the Sword Ancestor, we had a good business relationship with Hell.”
“As long as you pay enough, you can go inside the Hell and train. The Nether Energy inside Hell haS a special attribute that can strengthen your body and also have many training fields.”
“There were ten sects and five strongest families. Now, they are using Hell to regain their strength but Saint is not just something you can grow. You have to be extremely talented and lucky to become Saint, at least in this age where Spiritual Energy is scarce.”
Tu Che paused for a moment and looked at Brian. He took a deep breath and patted Brian’s shoulder.
“You have a chance. With your talent, you should be able to reach Saint Realm and you would become the most powerful in Saint Realm.”
Brian felt a bit strange as if he had taken some kind of responsibility that he wasn’t sure off.
“Big Brother, I am sure you will be a Saint.” Chu Ling pulled his shelve and brightly smiled.
“Anyway, let’s go to your master’s cave. She should be there by now.”
Tu Che took him to his master’s cave. It wasn’t just a cave. There was a small ground in front of the cave. And when they reached there, Cao Ping walked out of the cave.
“They are on that side.”
Cao Ping pointed her finger at the cave at the side and said.
Chu Ling excitedly pulled his sleeve, wanting to go there.
Brian patted her head and said “How about you meet them? I will arrive a little later.”
Chu Ling was a bit sad but obediently nodded. She ran toward her parent’s cave.
“Normally, only one person is allowed to come here but for you, we broke the rules. What exactly is your relationship with them? Why did you get so angry at that time?” Cao Ping came closer to him and asked.
Tu Che originally wanted to leave but he also stayed.
“Goodwill always receives a good reward. It was something that my parents told me but I never believed them until it happened to me. I realized those people who can show you the Goodwill might not become your family but they will not remain strangers.”
“That’s all.”
Hearing his words, Cao Ping and Tu Che stared at him with strange looks on their faces.
“You know, you have a different mindset than others. But, as long as you did it for them, it’s good enough for us.” Cao Ping sighed and spoke.
Then, she looked at Tu Che and said “Now, would you mind leaving us alone?”
“Ahh, yes!” Tu Che immediately left.
“Come on, let’s go!” Cao Ping tilted her head as she walked toward her cave. When Brian reached inside, a blue crystal wall blocked the entrance.
A yellow light lit up the cave as they moved inside.
“There are many things I have to teach you or at least that’s what I thought. But, your mindset startled me every single time. So, I have decided to let you ask me anything you want to know instead of me initiating to pass my knowledge.”
“With that out of the way, I do have some cultivation-related things to discuss. First, I would like to ask you. Do you know the types of cultivation in our continent?” Cao Ping asked.
Brian shook his head.
“I thought so. Anyway, let me explain this in detail.”
“First, we have to understand what exactly is cultivation. Millions of years have passed since the start of cultivation. Billions of people have walked into the path of cultivation.”
“But, all of them have a single goal. And, this isn’t a personal goal. It isn’t something that you want and needs the power of cultivation. No, it is the ultimate goal of the cultivation.”
“Eternal Life! Everyone cultivates to achieve eternal life. Why do people try to spend years inside the cave, not make relationships with others? Because they know the end of the cultivation will be lonely.”
“You can become eternal but you can’t make others. So, you want to learn how to live alone. It is a scary thought but the concept of death is even scarier.”
“That’s why people cultivate. They absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth to refine their body, soul, and essence to perfection. And, when they improve these three aspects, they evolve until they become Eternal.”
“But, the way to the peak has different routes. Just like how there are three thousand daos, there are several paths that a person can take. These paths are the types of cultivation.”
“Human Cultivation, Monster Cultivation, Spirit Cultivation, Devil Cultivation, Hell Cultivation, Heaven Cultivation, and Dual Cultivation.”
“All of these cultivation types have one thing in common which is using energy to evolve. But, the process is very different. Human Cultivation progresses body, soul, and essence all at the same time.”
“Monster Cultivation progress Body. Spirit Cultivation progress Essence. Hell Cultivation progress Body and Essence. Heaven Cultivation progress Essence and Soul.”
“And, Dual Cultivation progress all of them just like Human Cultivation but nearly ten times faster. Of course, there are some caveats. For example, you need a man with an enormous Yang Energy and a woman with an enormous Yin Energy.”
“You need a proper and rigid dual cultivation technique. There are several other types of cultivation based on each race but Dual Cultivation is the only cultivation applicable to all kinds of races.”
“You chose to be my disciple because you wanted to have the faster cultivation, right? Well, here is a way.”
Saying so, Cao Ping slowly removed her robe. Seeing this, Brian suddenly turned flustered.
He didn’t expect to be in such a situation out of nowhere. But, suddenly he was reminded of something.
‘Isn’t it just Friends with Benefits?’
At this moment, the fluster on his face disappeared.
‘Well, it’s not like I don’t want to do it. It’s just that my morals are stopping me. But, I need to get stronger. The faster I get stronger, the faster I can leave this world.’
‘And, cultivating while having sex doesn’t seem to be a bad option.’
“It seems like you know a thing or two about dual cultivation.” Cao Ping was standing there only on her light blue bra and panty as she spoke.
Looking at her gorgeous body, Brian could feel his little brother getting stronger. But he controlled himself and asked.
“If we do this, it won’t include any feelings, right?”
Cao Ping was surprised by his question but she quickly shook her head.
“Relationship between master and disciple is forbidden. We can’t become lovers. You can help me reach Ancestor Realm with your immense Yang Energy and I can help you speed up your cultivation by ten times.”
“That’s all there is.”
Hearing her words, Brian heavily sighed.
“That’s better!”
Cao Ping’s eyebrows twitched as she felt offended.
“What do you mean? You think I am not good enough to be your girlfriend.”
“No! No! It’s not like that. I mean I have someone already. So, it would be hard for me if we get our feelings involved.”
