572: Li Meng'er, the path of the Ruthless Great Emperor?

Compared to He Yao and Ye Lingtian, Li Meng'er could be said to have no special characteristics; she was extremely ordinary, with no defining features whatsoever.

Her Aptitude was incomparably mediocre, belonging to the bottom tier among all those who had joined the Sect this time.

The reason Su Chen favored her was simple: it was because Li Meng'er's Luck was incredibly powerful, the strongest among all the Disciples, even surpassing He Yao by a wide margin.

She was a textbook future Ruthless Great Emperor.

Born of humble origins, growing step by step, and eventually ascending to the absolute peak.

However, with the help of the aura of Karma, Su Chen also saw her approximate future. According to the original scenario where she didn't join the Haoran Sect, Li Meng'er would experience many hardships and partings in the future.

The current Li Meng'er was still quite ignorant and naive, with a very pure understanding of the world. After all, having lived in the Imperial Family since childhood, she was like a sheltered flower, unaware of the dangers of the outside world.

But the hardships she would experience later would completely change Li Meng'er as a person.

Su Chen even saw that Li Meng'er would eventually become a tool for a political marriage in the Nine Star Empire, ultimately becoming someone's plaything, spending a miserable hundred thousand years before finally escaping the sea of suffering through her own schemes.

However, Su Chen couldn't see the specifics clearly. His Great Dao of Time had not yet fully recovered, so he could only see things vaguely.

It was only now, after studying how to obscure heavenly secrets and Karma, that Su Chen could use the Great Dao of Karma directly like this; he certainly wouldn't have used it in the past.

He might have been discovered.

Interesting.

Su Chen raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The Void Realm began to tremble as a Cultivation Technique condensed in Li Meng'er's hand.

Rather than calling it a Cultivation Technique, it would be better described as a Legacy.

Su Chen saw which Great Dao the future Li Meng'er used, so he let her continue down that path.

The Great Dao of Karma!

Why did the future Li Meng'er comprehend such a Dao? Because of her humble status and ordinary Aptitude, she needed to scheme, and over time, she realized the Great Dao of Karma.

In this life, Li Meng'er might not need to scheme, but this Great Dao of Karma could also better protect her.

"This is not a Cultivation Technique, nor does it have a grade."

Su Chen's voice was calm as he spoke.

"Ah?"

Li Meng'er immediately pouted and said with a bit of grievance, "Revered Master is biased. You gave both Senior Brothers good Cultivation Techniques, but for Meng'er, you gave this..."

Su Chen shook his head with a chuckle. Li Meng'er's Heart-Nature was pure and kind, so he didn't mind.

"Although this isn't a Cultivation Technique, it is more precious than the Ninth Grade of the Immortal Rank. Even... I won't say more; you will find out for yourself in the future."

"Really?"

Li Meng'er was instantly overjoyed. This thing was even more powerful than the Ninth Grade of the Immortal Rank?

He Yao and Ye Lingtian were also incredibly surprised upon hearing this. Revered Master had something even more terrifying than the Ninth Grade of the Immortal Rank?

However, the two were not jealous; they were already very satisfied. A Cultivation Technique of this level couldn't be obtained by joining any other Sect. Even if He Yao entered other top-tier Sects, it would be impossible for him to start Cultivating a Ninth Grade Immortal Rank technique right away.

He Yao felt even more fortunate in his heart, believing that joining the Haoran Sect was the right choice.

"You may withdraw. There's no need to rush; Qiudao Peak is very large, so you can wander around first. If you have any questions regarding your Cultivation later, you can come and ask me."

"By the way, you should find time to go to the Scripture Pavilion to Cultivate your teacher's Ethereal Ghost Shadow technique. You must practice it."

The three knelt and bowed again, then withdrew from Su Chen's courtyard.

After walking out of the courtyard, the three looked at each other, none of them having fully processed what had happened. The things Su Chen gave them were too precious.

Ninth Grade of the Immortal Rank!

Even the Imperial Family of the Nine Star Empire did not possess such a Cultivation Technique.

After a long silence, He Yao finally snapped out of it. He cupped his hands toward the other two and said, "Senior Brother, Junior Sister, I will go to Cultivate first."

He wasn't in the mood to wander; his mind was now entirely filled with the desire to practice the technique Su Chen had passed to him.

The other two also quickly cupped their hands. They felt the same way, both wanting to hurry back and practice.

After arranging the three, Su Chen sat back down by the stream, and the courtyard returned to tranquility once more.

Regarding taking Disciples, Su Chen was quite serious this time. The three Disciples often encountered doubts in their Cultivation and would ask Su Chen for guidance, to which he provided very detailed instructions.

After half a year of contact, Su Chen's image in the hearts of the three Disciples had transformed into that of a terrifyingly powerful expert shrouded in mystery.

During these six months, the three Disciples' Realms also progressed. When they first joined the Sect, Ye Lingtian was only a Saint-level expert, Li Meng'er from the Imperial Family was a Human Immortal, and He Yao was slightly stronger at the Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

But now, in just half a year, Ye Lingtian had broken through to the Immortal Realm, and Li Meng'er had reached the Late Stage of the Human Immortal Realm.

He Yao's Cultivation speed was much faster than theirs; in just half a year, he had reached the half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Today, under the shade of a tree, Su Chen sat cross-legged while the three Disciples sat in front of him, listening intently to his teachings.

"In the Myriad Realms, there is currently a philosophy that Cultivators struggle against heaven, against earth, and against people. In fact, this kind of thinking is quite wrong. Cultivators are always struggling against people."

"You cannot control heaven, and you cannot control earth. Only you can control yourself."

"You should have all read that book by Li Yaoguang. Luck is full of uncertainty, so on your path of Cultivation, you must avoid placing too much importance on Luck."

"Just as He Yao has stronger Aptitude and a faster Cultivation speed, these are unchangeable facts. But a Cultivator's Lifespan is so long; in such a vast amount of time, you can succeed countless times, but you only need to fail once to die."

"Therefore, you should remember that you must certainly strive, but opportunities are always there. You don't have to seize this specific Opportunity, but you must preserve your own life."

The three all nodded secretly, finding this line of thinking very convincing.

In Cultivation, being steady is indeed the most important thing. Nothing compares to living long, because there are countless opportunities in the Myriad Realms. If you miss one, there will be a second. As for Lifespan, once you reach the Immortal Realm, there is no need to worry too much.

Seeing that the three were listening intently, Su Chen began to explain the content of Cultivation, describing the differences in the divisions between each Realm and the variations in the powers they control.

After nearly half a day of explanation, the three felt incredibly enriched. Many of the things Su Chen spoke of were things they had never known before.

"Reporting to Elder Su Chen, the Sect Head requests your presence at Tianran Peak!"

"Tianran Peak?"

Su Chen nodded. "Very well."

Usually, going to Tianran Peak meant the matter was quite important. If it were the Assembly Hall, it would mean it was just some minor affair.

Since the matter wasn't small, there was no harm in going to take a look.

Su Chen had now completely immersed himself in his role as an Elder of the Haoran Sect...
