181: If you're staying for a year, your guidance must be thorough!

"These are the items our Wu Ling Sect promised."

Wu Tian waved his hand, and a Storage Ring appeared before Zhang Yang.

"Inside are all the Heaven-Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill Manuals and Cultivation Techniques our Wu Ling Sect has collected over hundreds of thousands of years. I'm handing them all over to you."

"There are also many Five Elements attribute heaven tier low-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures inside."

After Wu Tian spoke, the dozens of people around them also began to speak one after another.

They handed Storage Rings to Zhang Yang one by one.

Inside were the Heaven-Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill Manuals and Cultivation Techniques they had collected, as well as various Heaven And Earth Treasures of the Five Elements attributes.

Zhang Yang stowed them all away one by one.

"In one year's time, I look forward to you reaching the summit of the Heavenly Ladder!"

Wu Tian looked at Zhang Yang and gave a gentle smile.

After they arrived, Xin Buxiu had already informed them of the agreed-upon deadline.

"Indeed, everything will depend on you then!" Wu pole, the Wu Ji, also said with a smile.

"That's right!" The many Dao Severing Realm experts around them also nodded in agreement.

Since even the Wu Ji and the Wu Ling Sect Revered Master admitted that Zhang Yang had hope of reaching the top of the Heavenly Ladder, they were naturally extremely excited.

This meant that their future path of cultivation might truly be recovered!

"For this one year, you should focus all your efforts on your Cultivation!"

"I will be staying at the Nourishing Heart Lineage this year. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Wu Tian, the Sect Master of Wuling Sect, patted Zhang Yang's shoulder with a smile.

He thought very highly of Zhang Yang.

If a method to Breakthrough to the Due Realm couldn't be found within the Heavenly Ladder,

then in time, Zhang Yang might just rely on his talent to forge a path through that broken road!

"Is it alright if I stay here for this year?"

After saying that, Wu Tian turned to look at Xin Buxiu and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xin Buxiu nodded slightly and said:

"Naturally, there is no problem. I could only wish for the Sect Master of Wuling Sect to personally guide my young disciple!"

Beside him, Wu pole, the Wu Ji, also spoke up:

"I will also stay here for this year. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask us."

Seeing the Wu Ji speak,

the many Dao Severing Realm experts nearby also spoke up one after another, saying they would stay at the Nourishing Heart Lineage for a year.

After all, Zhang Yang was of vital importance!

There could not be the slightest mistake!

A mere year was but a blink of an eye compared to the tens of thousands of years they had experienced.

Furthermore, with Zhang Yang's talent, he would surely be their peer in the future,

and he had a great possibility of obtaining the subsequent cultivation methods for the Due Realm.

Merely staying at the Nourishing Heart Lineage for a year to guide Zhang Yang

was a trivial matter in their eyes.

"Thank you, Seniors. If I have any questions, I will come to ask you!"

Zhang Yang bowed with cupped hands, his heart filled with excitement.

If he had so many Dao Severing Realm experts guiding him this year,

he might truly have hope of completing the Fusion of all four books—Heart, Body, Technique, and Cultivation—

and pushing them to a certain Realm!

Seeing what their peers said, Xin Buxiu and the other three lineage heads looked at each other and smiled.

"Then, our Myriad Manifestations Pavilion will host everyone for this year!"

Xin Buxiu and the other three lineage heads of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion said.

"Then Seniors, I shall return to my Cultivation first!" Zhang Yang prepared to take his leave.

Afterward, Zhang Yang returned to Qingling Peak.

He picked up the Storage Rings one by one and began to look through them.

After seeing the contents of each Storage Ring, he couldn't help but gasp.

There were too many Five Elements Materials inside.

Although the heaven tier low-grade ones only made up a small portion, the rest were simply too numerous!

As for the Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques,

Zhang Yang also entered them all into the System one by one, even though many were duplicates!

After finishing the input, Zhang Yang took a look.

The number of Heaven-Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill Manuals and Cultivation Techniques was around 15,000, which was 5,000 more than expected.

After organizing them, Zhang Yang nodded slightly; an extra five thousand wasn't a big problem.

Among these 15,000+ Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, many were core Cultivation Techniques.

It didn't take much effort for Zhang Yang to practice these Cultivation Techniques, as everything was simplified to breathing.

By his calculations,

one year should be enough to practice all 15,000+ Heaven-Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill Manuals and Cultivation Techniques to the state of Perfection.

Furthermore, with the guidance of so many Dao Severing Realm experts,

with their abilities, the time Zhang Yang needed to fuse various Profound Truths would also be greatly reduced.

"Xin Buxiu, you really have taken in a good disciple!"

After Zhang Yang left, Wu Tian, the Sect Master of Wuling Sect, looked at Xin Buxiu and said with a smile.

"Indeed! It's a pity my Martial Refining Tower doesn't have such distinctions between disciples, otherwise I'd want to take him as my own!"

On the other side, Wu Ji Wu pole shook his head.

"Guidance is guidance, don't go stealing disciples!" Xin Buxiu said hurriedly.

Seeing Xin Buxiu like this, the many Dao Severing Realm experts present all laughed.

The many Dao Severing Realm experts present were all extremely familiar with each other; they had interacted frequently over tens of thousands of years.

There wasn't much of a hierarchy between the experts of the various factions.

Outside of their own factions, all Dao Severing Realm experts interacted as equals.

"Eleven months from now will be the time to witness a miracle!"

"The broken path for Martial Artists in the Central Continent! Perhaps there is truly hope for it to be reconnected!"

Wu pole, the Revered Master of the Martial Refining Tower, looked into the distance as if his gaze could traverse space to see Zhang Yang's current location, and sighed softly.

"Yes, tens of thousands of years! I never thought I'd wait to see this in such a short time!"

An expert who had only achieved the Dao Severing Realm tens of thousands of years ago said with a smile.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. The path for Martial Artists in the Central Continent was broken, and the Dao Severing Realm Ninth Level was the limit.

Every person present was an old monster who had cultivated for over ten thousand years.

Fortunately, Dao Severing Realm experts had long lifespans, and living for several hundred thousand years was not an issue.

Otherwise, they truly might not have been able to wait for someone like Zhang Yang to appear!

At this time, a projection of Xin Buxiu appeared before Zhang Yang and said:

"Zhang Yang, do you have any questions about your current Cultivation? Feel free to ask! I am your Revered Master! You must ask!"

Xin Buxiu felt a trace of anxiety; he had been too much of a failure as a Revered Master!

It was mainly because things were developing too quickly. How much time had it even been?

His guidance once every half-month should have been sufficient in principle, but now it seemed far from enough!

To prevent his disciple from being snatched away, Xin Buxiu could only make the first move!

Zhang Yang looked at Xin Buxiu and nodded slightly. It just so happened that his Heart Book was at a critical stage of creation.

Zhang Yang directly asked Xin Buxiu about the various bottlenecks he encountered while refining a method no less inferior to the Indestructible Battle Soul.

Xin Buxiu was full of confidence at first, but the more he heard Zhang Yang's questions, the more he felt uncertain.

If it were about mental state, Xin Buxiu had absolute confidence in his ability to answer.

But this matter of will was not his area of expertise.

The factions in the Central Continent most skilled in this area were the Azure Wolf Tower and the Three Lives Tower.

"Haha! Xin Buxiu, sneaking a Divine Thought Incarnation over here? I wondered what was going on."

"Secretly teaching your disciple?"

At that moment, two more projections appeared beside Xin Buxiu. They were the Tower Revered Master of the Azure Wolf Tower and the Tower Revered Master of the Three Lives Tower.

The Master of Canglang Tower exuded a surging Battle Intent, his muscles knotted—he looked like a battle maniac at a glance.

As for the Master of Sansheng Tower, he had a sarira atop his head and his hands were pressed together in prayer.

A golden light was restrained but present around him; he looked like an eminent monk who had attained the Dao.

"Better let us answer those for you!" The Master of Canglang Tower looked at Zhang Yang and said with a smile.

"Besides the two of us, there is likely no one in the Central Continent better suited to answer these questions of yours!"

Back when Xin Buxiu's Divine Thought Incarnation first appeared beside Zhang Yang,

the many surrounding Dao Severing Realm experts had already noticed.

All of Zhang Yang's questions had reached their ears.

Thus, the two people most skilled in the areas Zhang Yang was asking about followed Xin Buxiu and appeared by Zhang Yang's side.

Since they said they would provide guidance, it naturally had to be thorough!
