Pie in the sky

Moonlight was like water, and stars dotted the sky!

Inside Wenxian Sect!

Within a mountain range, a figure was sitting cross-legged on a boulder under the moonlight, Cultivating and comprehending the Dao.

His name was Qi Le, a one-tribulation Emperor Realm expert.

Tonight's moon was exceptionally bright, yet Qi Le's heart was inexplicably a bit restless.

It had been hundreds of thousands of years since he stepped into the one-tribulation Emperor Realm.

However, due to the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, he had been hesitant to take that step.

For him, the so-called Emperor Tribulation was a situation of nine deaths and one life.

Even for a Sect like Wenxian Sect, which had Pseudo-Immortal experts guarding it, the success rate for its Immortal Rank experts Undergoing Tribulation was only ten percent.

This showed the difficulty of the Cultivation path!

In the entire Central Continent Second Heaven, there was a method to perfectly pass the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

But that method was too Heaven-Defying, not something an ordinary person could use!

If an Immortal or an Immortal Weapon protected him, he could directly and forcefully break through the calamities and eliminate the difficulties with the power of the Immortal Dao.

However, in the entire Central Continent Second Heaven, how noble were Immortals, and how rare were Immortal Weapons? How could a small one-tribulation Emperor like him come into contact with them?

"If only I could have a complete Pseudo-immortal Realm Cultivation Technique!"

"That way, my success rate for Undergoing Tribulation should increase by fifty percent!"

Qi Le looked up at the sky, feeling a bit dejected.

"It's just that Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques are so precious!"

"Given my status in the Sect, obtaining a complete Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique is no less difficult than Undergoing Tribulation!"

For Wenxian Sect, the Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique within the Sect was the foundation of the entire power's Legacy, and only core important personnel could Cultivate it.

Only the Sect Master, the Sect's Dao Child, and a few highly respected Elders, a mere dozen or so people, could Cultivate it.

As for others, even Emperor Rank experts loyal to the Sect could only Cultivate incomplete fragments of the Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique.

Unless they made immense contributions to the Sect, they would basically never have the chance to see the complete Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique in their lifetime.

And in all the years Wenxian Sect had been established, as far as Qi Le knew, only one person had been rewarded with a complete Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique for their merits: Zheng Tu, the leader of the Sect's guards!

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

At this moment, Qi Le felt the difficulty of the Cultivation path even more acutely.

The difficulty of obtaining Cultivation Techniques, the difficulty of gathering resources.

His life had been like treading on thin ice, and he had finally managed to Cultivate to the one-tribulation Emperor Realm.

But to advance further, he felt it was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"We Cultivators should always bravely advance. Such sighing is not the behavior of a strong person!"

Just then, a voice came from behind Qi Le.

Hearing this, Qi Le turned to look.

Under the moonlight, a middle-aged man with his hands clasped behind his back was slowly walking towards him.

"Your Excellency is?"

He did not know this person, but within Wenxian Sect, he did not think anyone would dare to cause trouble.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Crimson Luan."

"I am a Guest Elder at Wenxian Sect this time."

"Just now, I inadvertently overheard my friend lamenting the difficulty of Cultivation. Are you troubled by matters of Cultivation Technique?"

Qi Le gave a bitter smile: "You must be laughing at me, Fellow Daoist!"

"Indeed!"

"The difficulty of the Emperor Tribulation has troubled countless talented and brilliant individuals throughout history."

"If I could have a complete Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, I would have seventy percent confidence to pass this Emperor Tribulation."

"Unfortunately, this is merely a luxury."

Crimson Luan said with a serious expression: "How can this be a luxury?"

"With your potential, with a little nurturing, you are bound to achieve great things in the future!"

"You don't have a Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique? I do!"

"Uh..."

This statement directly stunned Qi Le.

After a long while, he finally shook his head and said bitterly: "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke!"

"A Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique is extremely precious. Even if you truly possess such a supreme Cultivation Technique, it must be a closely guarded secret of your Sect. How could you possibly pass it on to an outsider like me?"

"Outsiders naturally cannot be taught, but if they become one of us, then it can be taught, can't it?"

A sense of absurdity arose in Qi Le's heart.

The preciousness of a Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique was such that even the Sect's Dao Child had to pass through layers of assessments after reaching a certain Realm before it could be imparted.

Moreover, after it was imparted, a Restriction would be placed on their Divine Soul.

If someone were to search their soul, this Restriction would automatically activate to destroy the relevant memories of the Cultivation Technique.

Other major powers also protected their inherited Cultivation Techniques in a similar manner to Wenxian Sect.

However, this person actually said that if he became one of them, he could be taught.

His life experience told him that such a good thing was impossible in this world, and the other party was very likely trying to trick him.

However, his eyes told him that the other party did not seem to be lying.

A Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique was too great a temptation for Qi Le!

As if by a ghost's prompting, he couldn't help but ask: "How can I be considered one of you?"

Hearing this, Crimson Luan smiled!

He knew that very few people in the world could resist the temptation of a Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, especially at the Emperor Realm level.

He said unhurriedly: "It is also your good fortune. I have calculated that within Wenxian Sect, there are those who have a Revered Master-Disciple affinity with me, and you happen to be one of them."

"As long as you are willing to acknowledge me as your Revered Master, I, your Revered Master, will naturally impart to you the supreme Cultivation method!"

Hearing this, Qi Le's heart immediately pounded.

"Thank you, Senior, for not disdaining me and for being willing to accept me as your Disciple. Qi Le greets Revered Master!"

He did not hesitate in the slightest, bowing his head to Crimson Luan.

Even a moment of hesitation would be a disrespect to the Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique.

Of course, this did not mean that he was betraying Wenxian Sect.

Rather, he was merely a Guest Elder of Wenxian Sect, a Loose Cultivator who had been recruited by Wenxian Sect.

The reason he joined Wenxian Sect was because he felt that Wenxian Sect could provide assistance on his Cultivation path.

Now, if Crimson Luan could truly give him a Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, let alone acknowledging him as Revered Master, he would willingly sacrifice his life for him.

"Good, good, good!"

Seeing the other party so sensible, Crimson Luan's mood improved greatly.

"Good Disciple, quickly rise!"

He waved his hand.

A Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique flew directly from his sleeve and appeared before Qi Le.

"This is a welcome gift from your Revered Master!"

"Take it and keep it safe."

Seeing this, Qi Le's pupils suddenly constricted.

He immediately began to eagerly flip through it.

After reading the entire Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, he was completely stunned.

A complete Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, and Revered Master just gave it to him like that?

This, wasn't this a bit too hasty?

The surprise came too suddenly, making him feel as if he were in a dream: "Revered Master, such a Cultivation Technique, you just gave it to this Disciple? You... aren't you afraid that Disciple will leak it?"

Crimson Luan shook his head: "It's just an ordinary Pseudo-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique. Even if it's leaked, it's no big deal."

"Now, I, your Revered Master, will give you a task!"

"If you complete it well, I, your Revered Master, can even bestow upon you a better Cultivation Technique!"

"What? Revered Master has even better Cultivation Techniques?"

Qi Le was shocked!

In his opinion, the Cultivation Technique in his hand was enough for someone to Cultivate to the Three-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal Realm.

Wenxian Sect's core Cultivation Technique could only allow one to Cultivate to the Two-Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm.

Could it be that Revered Master also had a Cultivation Technique that could allow one to Cultivate to the Four-Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm?
