My Master Knows It All

How do you cultivate?

Guessing your way through cultivation?

Completely unable to comprehend, Cao Zhen flipped back to the first page of both books and read slowly.

Although the texts on the pages were incomplete, he could still make out that these two books contained two different Divine Skills.

These Divine Skills were completely contradictory; one should be a kind of Righteous Path Divine Skill, full of divine aura, while the other was about being strange, changeable, and even gloomy and dark.

These two types of Divine Skills were the complete extremes; how could one possibly cultivate them successfully?

Not to mention going insane from cultivation deviation, it would be a miracle not to cultivate to death.

And yet, Xiang Ziyu had managed it.

He couldn’t fathom how it was done.

If he didn’t have the China Cloud, he would even start to doubt whether Xiang Ziyu really was the main character.

“How did you cultivate?” Cao Zhen turned around and looked at Xiang Ziyu with complete puzzlement.

Xiang Ziyu nonchalantly replied, “Just kept cultivating and it worked out.”

Cao Zhen didn’t believe him, “Didn’t you feel the conflict of energies, the damage to your meridians during cultivation?”

Xiang Ziyu retorted with pride, “Yes, but what’s that?

Just a little energy conflict, isn’t it normal?

They conflict, and I just forcefully suppress them.

I’m the main character; how could I not suppress them?

They must all obey me.”

Cao Zhen fell silent.

What Xiang Ziyu said sounded simple, but to force two opposing Divine Skills into one, and the kind of energy conflict that would entail, was surely not that simple.

Forcibly suppressing two opposing energies surely required withstanding great pain and facing immense danger.

Xiang Ziyu had done it, which apart from luck, required an exceptionally strong heart and an incredibly tenacious will.

Seeing his disciple paying no attention to the Secret Manuals of Divine Skills, Xiang Ziyu couldn’t resist prompting, “Master, what do you think?

Are you amazed by the miraculous changes of these Divine Skills?

If you want to cultivate them, I can teach you directly.”

“No need, I wouldn’t be able to learn these Divine Skills,” replied Cao Zhen, shaking his head.

He could tell just by looking at them that he would never be able to learn them.

He thought for a moment and said to Xiang Ziyu, “Don’t teach these Divine Skills to your senior sister and junior brothers either.

They cannot cultivate them because I’ve realized that only someone with the Original Yin-Yang Immortal Demon King Physique can cultivate them, and you, you are exactly that.”

This was something he absolutely couldn’t reveal to Xiang Ziyu.

Xiang Ziyu had always believed it was the same Divine Skill, which is why he could use his strong willpower to overcome various situations.

If he were to tell him the truth, and he began to doubt that these were two different Divine Skills, problems would surely arise later on.

Even if he stopped cultivating, there would still be issues.

So, the best course of action was to keep deceiving him.

Of course, he also couldn’t let Xiang Ziyu teach his senior sister and junior brothers anymore.

It was fortunate that Ling Xi and the others hadn’t followed suit and forced their own cultivation; if Xiang Ziyu had no issues, that didn’t mean they would be as lucky.

Forcing the cultivation of two Divine Skills into one, other than the chaos caused by conflicting energies, the more serious problem would be all kinds of inner demons.

One misstep and it would result in cultivation deviation.

However, Xiang Ziyu, this guy with a somewhat useless brain, always believing that he is the main character, actually helped him in this case.

It’s likely because he firmly believed he was the main character; that’s why he managed to avoid cultivation deviation.

As for the success of his cultivation because of the Original Yin-Yang Immortal Demon King Physique, that was purely fabricated.

Of course, it might also be somewhat possible.

These two Divine Skills, indeed one had the aura of an immortal, and the other, the aura of a demon.

“So that’s the reason.” Xiang Ziyu nodded in agreement, saying, “I was wondering why my senior sister and junior brother never managed to cultivate it.

Indeed, such Divine Skills can only be cultivated by the main character.

Just like the Lotus that Xiao Yan nurtured, only the main character can cultivate such conflicting Divine Skills!”

Cao Zhen despaired.

There really was no hope for his third disciple.

He turned to the others and asked, “By the way, what are you doing, learning from the third brother’s Divine Skills when you’re fine as you are?”

Ling Xi, as the eldest senior sister, quickly explained, “Master, each of us received a Divine Skill from the Secret Manual Chamber, so we thought we could certify each other’s cultivation to complement our strengths and weaknesses.”

Cao Zhen felt as if the sky had darkened, “So, excluding Xiang Ziyu, all three of you have learned the same three Divine Skills?”

“Yes.”

Ling Xi and the others nodded their heads in affirmation, and Xiang Ziyu proudly stated, “I’ve learned four; they don’t know my Record of Deities and Demons.”

“This is utter nonsense!” exclaimed Cao Zhen, looking at his four disciples in exasperation.

“Why would you all learn the same Divine Skills?

If you were to go out and fight others, wouldn’t they be able to easily read your tactics if you all use the same Divine Skills?

More importantly, each of you has different talents and specializes in different skills.

If you forcibly cultivate the same Divine Skills that don’t suit you, wouldn’t that be counterproductive?”

Cao Zhen had enough.

What were these disciples thinking?

They’re all cultivating the same Divine Skills; how could he win without effort?

The fewer skills you know, the fewer I have.
