114: Chapter 114 We consulted the teacher together and then fell asleep immediately.

The singing was melodious, stretching across thousands of miles of bamboo forest. Even the plants became joyful because of it, swaying along with the rhythm.

Chen Xing was the last to enter. Not wanting to disturb anyone, he chose a spot for himself to sit cross-legged and quietly nourish his Soul.

Prior to this, the three Immortal Gods had distributed a large number of expensive spiritual items, which included soul nourishing wood.

Because resources were concentrated and abundant, everyone present, including Chen Xing, possessed a piece of Nine-Turn soul nourishing wood, which was cut from a Soul nourishing tree that had survived its ninth tribulation.

The singing did not stop until noon.

“That is all for today. What I spoke of earlier has its own unique points; you all should comprehend it well.”

True God Ling Xi spoke, her voice sweeping across like a gentle wave. Although it interrupted their cultivation, it did not feel abrupt.

Everyone responded in agreement. Some left the grounds, while others remained to continue their cultivation.

Among the crowd, Chen Xing immediately locked onto Qin Feng, who was about to leave, and instantly sent a voice transmission:

“My son, how has your cultivation been lately?”

Qin Feng’s gaze shifted, and he immediately walked over.

“Your father’s progress is flying! After yesterday’s Dual Cultivation, my cultivation level rose another notch. I feel like it won’t be long before I Breakthrough to the sixth layer,” he laughed.

“Dual Cultivation again? Is that stuff really so effective?” Chen Xing’s expression was strange.

“You’ll only know how effective it is once you’ve tried it. Do you remember Qingyao’s best friend? Her and her partner’s abilities are Sun-Moon complementary. After Dual Cultivation, their cultivation speed is not at all inferior to an A-Rank Esper,” Qin Feng grinned.

“Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders,” Chen Xing said, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

“Don’t talk about me, when are you going to see sense? Don’t you really want to Breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm? Trust me, find a senior sister for a session of Dual Cultivation, and I guarantee you’ll Breakthrough!” Qin Feng patted his chest in assurance.

“I’ll pass,” Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.

“I still have things to do, so I’ll be going first. What are you doing next?”

“I’m going to find Teacher Fa Kong. What about you?”

“I’m going to find a teacher for a duel.”

“Alright, be careful.”

“...”

As Chen Xing flashed away, Qin Feng’s expression froze as he finally realized what the other had just said.

Who are you looking to duel?

...

In private, many students also tried to seek guidance from True God Ling Xi, but they were all stopped by the Venerables.

“Her Ladyship has already given instructions. The questions you want to ask, she has already addressed. It just depends on whether you can comprehend it,” a Venerable said.

“Only those who have comprehended it have proven they have learned thoroughly and can go to her early to learn new knowledge.”

“When did she say it?” Everyone was puzzled.

“When she was singing. The answers were within those lyrics and melodies,” a young man wearing blue clothes with gold patterns spoke, his tone cold.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Was the teacher really so painstaking in her efforts?

They looked at the newcomer and knew who he was; the words of rebuttal they had ready were swallowed back down.

This person was named Tang Daoling, hailing from the Tang Family of the Sacred Demon lineage in the Dao Valley Star Cluster. That Family’s ancestral ability was poison, but such an outlier had emerged.

Tang Daoling’s ability was not poison, but [Spirit of the Sea]. After reaching S-rank, this existence would transform into the legendary [Sea God].

Unluckily for others, he was an S-rank.

In recent days, Tang Daoling’s figure would frequently appear in the struggles between various Gangs. He was very bellicose and loved challenging opponents everywhere.

“I have mastered everything taught today. May I meet the True God teacher?” Tang Daoling said, Soul light flickering and shifting above his head.

The Venerable scanned him up and down, observing carefully, and couldn't help but sigh. He truly was an S-rank Prodigy, indeed extraordinary.

Immediately, he allowed him through.

“Who else has mastered it?” The Venerable looked around, but the crowd fell into silence.

“Me,” Chen Xing arrived late.

“It’s you... show me your Soul Method.” The Venerable’s eyes flashed. This was the newly famous star; who in the world didn't know him?

“Buzz—!”

Chen Xing didn't say much. Soul light flickered between his eyebrows, but his was unique—it was actually multi-colored.

“The Soul and the Light Element have almost merged into one, reaching such a level of homogenization? What an absolute Genius!” the Venerable marveled inwardly.

“Go on then.” Immediately, he allowed him through as well.

With a whoosh, Chen Xing left directly, leaving the stunned crowd behind.

In a bamboo house, under a cooling pavilion.

Tea was brewing on the table. True God Ling Xi sat at the table, feeling the warm mountain breeze. An ancient zither was placed to the side; everything seemed to slow down.

“Student Tang Daoling pays his respects to the teacher!”

Tang Daoling arrived and bowed slightly.

And the moment he finished speaking, he felt a force rapidly approaching and couldn't help but look back.

The next second, a flash of light descended, landing squarely beside him.

“Student Chen Xing requests an audience with the teacher.”

“This guy...” Tang Daoling’s heart stirred.

True God Ling Xi’s lively eyes remained calm, not even sparing them a second glance. She calmly opened the teapot as steam rose up.

“One is respectful on the surface but fearless in his heart, while the other carries respect but has other motives. Neither of you came here to seek learning. What do you want to do?”

In her words, the order was Chen Xing first, then Tang Daoling.

The two heard this and glanced at each other.

Truly, one could not hide anything from a True God, especially one with such high attainments in the path of the Soul; no thoughts could be concealed.

The reason True God Ling Xi asked was to give them a chance to speak up voluntarily. If they weren't honest, the teacher would kick them out.

“I would like to ask the teacher for a few pointers!”

Unexpectedly, the two spoke at the same time, saying the exact same thing.

Only then did True God Ling Xi shift her gaze, glancing at them sideways. Her lively eyes seemed to see through everything.

“You want to see how big the gap is between yourself and an Immortal.” She turned her head and looked at Tang Daoling.

“You... why are your thoughts so strange?” But when True God Ling Xi looked at Chen Xing, her expression became somewhat different.

“This... involves my secrets. I hope the teacher can forgive me!” Chen Xing cupped his fists, feeling incredibly shocked in his heart.

How can she see everything?

His real thought was that as long as he unlocked True God Ling Xi as a combat character, he would have plenty of time to grind in the future.

It was just that True God Ling Xi didn't understand and didn't know the operating principles of the System, which was why she couldn't understand his thoughts.

“Forget it. Since both of you came here to become stronger, I will satisfy you this once.” After True God Ling Xi finished speaking, she no longer pursued the matter.

“Thank you, teacher!”

The two looked at each other and decisively made their move, both rushing toward the bamboo pavilion.

“So reckless.”

True God Ling Xi glanced over. Instantly, Chen Xing and Tang Daoling’s pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks, and subsequently, even the highlights in their eyes vanished.

With a thud, both lost consciousness and fell to the ground on the spot, out cold.

“My Lady, will there be any trouble doing this?” A woman in pink clothes walked in from outside the courtyard.

“It’s nothing. Let them sleep for a while and feel the changes in their Souls. Whether they can comprehend anything depends on themselves.” True God Ling Xi didn't look back.

Seeing that the tea was brewed, she poured a cup, the aroma steaming up.
