Chapter 707: Chapter 305: Heart-to-Heart Between Master and Disciple

”I don’t know, but as long as someone has stayed on the Desolate Ancient Continent for a long time, their cultivation can at most reach the Divinity Transformation Stage. The Nascent Soul cannot transform into a True Spirit, and they cannot return to their original form. Ultimately, they cannot advance to the Void Refinement Realm, so the Desolate Ancient Continent is also known as a dead end.”

Hua Yaoyue finally revealed the truth in one breath.

Ji Yuan: ”...So the dead end means one cannot advance to the Void Refinement Realm. Does Master truly believe that the disciple can reach the Void Refinement Realm?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yaoyue turned her head and looked at her closed-door disciple with an expression as if looking at an idiot.

”What’s the use if you can’t reach the Void Refinement Realm?”

”No, Master, you really think highly of your disciple...”

”Heh, I don’t think highly of you as a teacher, but of the opportunity you’ve received.”

A sentence revealing the truth made Ji Yuan fall silent instantly.

Opportunity?

Master actually knows I have a great opportunity... Well, anyone who knows me a little can see it, not to mention a reincarnated old demon like Master.

But the fact that Master knows I have such a great opportunity and didn’t harm me...

This really surprises Ji Yuan. It must be because she is the Master.

”If you can’t reach the Void Refinement Realm, how can you single-handedly suppress the Continent of Demon Gods?”

Hua Yaoyue spoke softly, ”Of course, if you feel that it doesn’t matter to stay in the Divinity Transformation Stage for a lifetime, I can send you to this Desolate Ancient Continent.”

”...Let’s not bother, Master. I still want to see what the scenery is like on higher peaks.”

Ji Yuan said with a dejected tone.

”Having such thoughts is enough.”

”Given that, why does the Taiyi Immortal Sect build a sect on the Desolate Ancient Continent? If they relocate to another continent, even to our Cangluo Continent, they could have grown into a stronger sect, right?”

”Do you perhaps think there’s a possibility that the Taiyi Immortal Sect achieved today’s success precisely because it’s on the Desolate Ancient Continent?”

Hua Yaoyue’s counter-question left Ji Yuan speechless.

”There’s too much in this to understand. Even though I’ve stayed on this Desolate Ancient Continent for over ten years, I couldn’t figure it out. I can only say that the Taiyi Immortal Sect is very mysterious and it is highly likely related to that great battle back then.”

Hua Yaoyue shook her head; she truly didn’t know.

If she knew, she would straightforwardly tell Ji Yuan.

”How long must one stay on the Desolate Ancient Continent to be affected by the curse?”

Ji Yuan glanced at his panel and then asked.

He remembered that to level up the [Pigsty] to level 5, a Taiyi Xuanyang Talisman was required.

If nothing unexpected happens, this talisman can only be obtained from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

So in the future, Ji Yuan may still have to visit the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Now, with the opportunity to learn about the Desolate Ancient Continent in advance, he naturally wanted to understand it thoroughly beforehand.

”Three years, you can only stay a maximum of three years.”

As the matter is serious, Hua Yaoyue spoke very earnestly, ”If you go, stay for at most three years.”

”After leaving, you must rest quietly overseas for at least half a year, possibly even a year, and only then can you return to the Desolate Ancient Continent.”

”You must remember this clearly, otherwise, if you make a mistake... it will be beyond redemption.”

”Even if by then you have already uncovered the secret of Divinity Transformation and advanced to a Void Refinement cultivator, you must remember this rule.”

”Yes.”

Ji Yuan cupped his hands and bowed deeply with a salute, ”Your disciple will certainly not forget.”

”Hmm, you have a better path to take, so there’s no need to traverse this dead-end road.”

Hua Yaoyue finished speaking about this matter, seeing Ji Yuan could understand and accept it, felt somewhat relieved.

”Moreover, if you do go to this Desolate Ancient Continent... I can let the Water Dragon Sect become a lower sect of this Taiyi Immortal Sect, but their sect prejudice is always extremely severe. Even if the Water Dragon Sect goes there, it won’t be easy. That’s one thing.”

”Secondly, the entire Desolate Ancient Continent is the backyard of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, so after the Water Dragon Sect goes over, there will basically be no more disputes. Without disputes, strength naturally won’t increase, and if they encounter cultivators from other continents in the future, even in same-tier clashes, those from the Desolate Ancient Continent are at the bottom of the hierarchy.”

”Indeed so.”

Ji Yuan nodded silently, agreeing with this reasoning.

Cultivators who haven’t experienced life-and-death battles or magical combat are just pretty vases with no use.

Even if their cultivation advances, they will be stepping stones for others.

Regarding this, Jiang Hong would probably have something to say.

”So when the time comes, I will take Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach away, sending them to the Desolate Ancient Continent.”

Hua Yaoyue spoke about the arrangements for the other disciples, ”Their strength is insufficient, their mindset is not right, and in this lifetime, they will struggle to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

”Sending them to the Desolate Ancient Continent is considered their best home.”

On this matter, Ji Yuan had no position to take.

He couldn’t say sending them was bad, nor could he say they shouldn’t be sent.

Thus, he simply decided not to speak on it.

”What about Senior Brother?”

Ji Yuan then inquired.

”Do you think he would possibly come with me?” Hua Yaoyue asked in return.

”This...”

”He doesn’t even want to return to the sect now, continuing to combat the Demon Dao outside, let alone taking him to the Desolate Ancient Continent, that would be asking for his life.”

Hua Yaoyue shook her head in a helpless manner.

Ji Yuan fell silent.

Logically, the next step would be to inquire about himself.

But he couldn’t bring himself to ask; he’s afraid of the answer and also afraid of regretting it.

Yet Hua Yaoyue seemed interested and asked, ”Why, don’t you want to ask what your arrangement is?”

”Compared to the disciple, in fact, this disciple wants to know what Master’s arrangements are more.”

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and finally couldn’t help but ask.
