700: C700 Horrifying Progress

C700 Horrifying Progress

Still, Elder Changming's words made sense to the two deacons.

A high talent only meant a high starting point. It didn't represent strength and the end point.

They had lived in this place for millions of years, and they had seen many proud sons and daughters of heaven. They were proud and arrogant, but they all died young.

On the other hand, those who were not talented but had a firm mind would eventually reach a higher level.

For example, the White-Haired Deacon Zhao Zhiyun, when he first entered the Dao, only had the talent of Three Stars, but now he was already an expert at the Dao Profound Realm, which surpassed most of the overwhelming prodigies.

Therefore, they felt that it was safer for Elder Chang Ming to do this.

At this time, Lu Chong had already entered the towering and resplendent floating mountain under the envious gazes of thousands of people in the Changming Branch.

He was not proud and complacent, because Lu Chong knew himself very well, and all along the way, he had been fighting steadily, relying on himself and the system's hard work.

After entering the floating mountain, Lu Chong discovered that there was indeed another world within the mountain. Although it could not be said to be boundless, it could be said to be a paradise with pleasant scenery and rich dao aura.

Lu Chong was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, so he immediately checked his own enlightenment progress.

"The speed at which I comprehend the Dao is at least five times faster than that of that valley." Lu Chong was pleasantly surprised.

Previously, the speed of comprehending the Dao in the valley was around 2% a day, but here, it could increase by about 10% a day.

In other words, Lu Chong was confident that he would be able to break through to the second stage of the Dao Initiation Stage in nine days.

This kind of comprehension speed was simply heaven-defying, something that no one else could imagine.

However, Lu Chong had been through a lot and was not too surprised. After all, this was the inner sect, and he was the one who occupied the most superior position, the Nine Stars Hanging Cave Mansion.

At the same time, he would have to pay a huge price to cultivate here.

According to the rules of the Dao Palace, ten thousand inner disciples' contribution points and ten thousand middle-tier Chaos Crystals would be deducted every day when cultivating in the Suspended Cave.

Contribution points were collected by the Dao Palace, while Chaos Crystals were absorbed by the Dao tablets to maintain the balance of the Dao tablet world.

What kind of concept was this?

The amount of Contribution Points and Chaos Crystals Lu Chong had earned from his years of expeditions in the Purgatory Universe was only enough for him to cultivate here for two hundred days.

Only by paying such a huge price in exchange for such a cultivation speed and a paradisiacal land could Lu Chong feel a little better in his heart.

Furthermore, based on his past experiences, along with the increase of his realm, the speed of his automatic cultivation would also be slowed down by several times. At that time, it would truly be time for him to grind.

It was the same for the other disciples of the inner sect. When they had just entered the Dao, they had been improving by the day. When they reached a certain level, they wouldn't be able to progress any further.

It was said that the senior brother from the Eternal Spring Hall had been stuck at the sixth stage of the Dao Initiation Realm for several hundred years. This was a normal phenomenon.

It was not uncommon for a cultivator at the Dao Profound Realm like the elder to be stuck at a certain stage for thousands of years in order to comprehend the Dao.

"Senior Brother Chang, I'm going to cultivate first. I'll come visit you another day to thank you." After Lu Chong sent a message to the Eternal Spring Tower, he was immersed in the sea of the Dao of Chaos and the Azure Edge Dao Arts.

Since he had to pay such a huge price, then he had to race against time and not waste any time.

As for when he would come out of seclusion, he would think about it after his Contribution Points or Chaos Crystals were almost used up.

At any rate, he was only a newcomer amongst those that had just entered the Dao. He didn't have the strength to complete missions and earn contribution points.

"Junior martial brother is really hard-working. But that's right, he's in the middle of a period of rapid improvement." Outside the mountain, the Eternal Spring Building murmured with envy before turning around to leave.

At a higher place, Elder Chang Ming touched his beard with gratification and sighed, "Your performance is not bad. As expected of my in-name disciple."1

The two deacons congratulated him again before they left.

"This young man has just entered the martial art, but he doesn't have any questions for me, his master... I don't feel any sense of accomplishment."

When there was no one else around him, Elder Chang Ming smiled and went back to his cave.

The days of cultivation in the mountain were dull and fulfilling. Lu Chong was immersed in the Great Dao of Chaos, and could hardly feel the passage of time.

In addition, he would go out of his cave almost every few days to find the Eternal Spring Tower to spar with him.

Of course, it wasn't to stimulate the Evergreen Building. He just wanted to speed up his Azure Sharp Dao Art through actual combat.

Cheng Wu, who was hiding in the Cosmos Pearl, was cultivating with him behind closed doors.

He couldn't come out here, or else he would be kicked out by the Dao tablet.

Luckily, Cheng Wu was the person that could endure loneliness the most. Elder Long was his companion, so he cultivated or studied pills every day and made great progress.

"Master said that after he comes out of seclusion this time, he'll think of a way to turn the Cosmic Star into a Dao treasure. At that time, I'll be able to use the intelligence of a Dao treasure." This was what Elder Long looked forward to the most.

Back then, when Lu Chong had refined the Universe Pearl and the Non-Phase Wood into a Universe Pearl in the Purgatory Universe, it was actually to leave behind the potential for future development.

The material of the Universe wand was comparable to a Dao Initiation realm treasure, and what it really lacked was the support of the Great Dao Inscription.

Lu Chong had already entered the Dao, and all he needed to do now was to inscribe the inscription on the Universe Rod to help it become an inscription treasure.

Elder Long did not have to wait too long. On a certain day in the fifth month since he had entered the Suspended Cave Mansion, Lu Chong returned from the Chang Qing Building, but instead of cultivating, he came to the space inside the Cosmos Pearl.

"Master, is it done?" Seeing that Lu Chong had suddenly appeared, Elder Long's heart skipped a beat, and he asked.

Lu Chong nodded, "You can start now. If you refine it again in this floating cave, the success rate will be even higher."

He was prepared to refine his own Non-Phase Heaven and Earth Staff once again, raising it to the level of the Hundred Remembrance Dao Treasure in one go.

Yes, the current Lu Chong had already raised the Azure Edge Dao Art to the level of the Eight Level Dao Inscription and possessed over a hundred Azure Edge Inscription.

Only in this way would he be able to refine the Hundred Inscription Dao Treasure.

Other than the Dao, Lu Chong's comprehension of Dao hadn't fallen either. After more than 130 days of concentrated comprehension of Dao, the results were similarly astonishing.

Name: Lu Chong

Level: Fifth Layer of Dao Initiation (3%)

Dao techniques -

Azure Edge Dao Ming Eight Realms (5%)

...

This was the result of Lu Chong's efforts over the past few months. If word of this got out, it would scare a group of inner sect disciples to death, because he, as a newly promoted inner sect disciple, had already surpassed more than half of the older disciples in terms of comprehension of Dao and Tao.

The senior brother from the Eternal Spring Tower, who was often pulled along by Lu Chong to spar, had fallen into self-doubt several times. He had even accidentally broken through to the seventh stage of the Dao Initiation realm, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
