C1149 One Step away
1149. A step away.
In the cultivation room.
Qin Xiao sat there with his legs crossed, carefully reviewing the insights he had gained over the past two years in the Myriad Pool in his mind. He reorganized the many insights he had gained.
With the insights he gained from the Myriad Pool over the past two years, Qin Xiao had indeed improved by leaps and bounds. His mastery of the Myriad Dao had also improved by leaps and bounds.
Now, what Qin Xiao needed to do was to completely integrate these insights into his body, and then smoothly break through to the intermediate level of the Myriad Dao.
This kind of breakthrough wasn't an easy thing either.
Advancing from the initial use of the Myriad Dao to the middle-level use of the Myriad Dao, although it was only a level increase, it was a natural chasm that lay across it.
Countless cultivators spent their entire lives trying to break through.
The path of cultivation, every step was extremely difficult.
Every step is extremely difficult.
No matter how much of a genius Qin Xiao was, he wanted to advance from the initial use of the Dao of All Creation to the level of intermediate use in a short period of time. It wasn't that easy either.
He had indeed gained a lot from this trip to the Myriad Pool, but it was still not enough. He was still lacking a little bit of the Fire Lord.
Therefore, during this hundred years of seclusion, other than sorting out and digesting the various insights in the Myriad Pool, there were no other improvements.
Wanting to break through was naturally a type of extravagant hope.
"I'm still a little short. I almost stepped into the mid-level utilization of the Myriad Dao. The distance of a single step was like the distance between heaven and earth. Difficult, too difficult. " Qin Xiao shook his head and stopped his cultivation.
If he encountered a bottleneck and continued to suppress his cultivation... The effect would not be good.
"Forget it, my accumulation is still far from enough. I previously broke through to the elementary application of the Myriad Dao in the Assessment Area. After a thorough calculation, if I want to break through to the intermediate application of the Myriad Dao... It was indeed an extravagant hope. In such a short period of time, even if I have many insights... After all, my accumulation is still too weak."
"This Heavenly Chasm will definitely not be easily overcome."
Qin Xiao's state of mind was rather open-minded. He did not feel discouraged at all because of the failure of this attempt.
In fact, his speed of improvement had already reached the heaven defying level.
It was just that Qin Xiao's requirements were too high, so he naturally couldn't be judged by ordinary people.
Qin Xiao walked out of the cultivation room and looked outside. The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. "What should be done is to make a choice. I'm afraid that the power of all four sides has been secretly contending against each other for a hundred years. I'm afraid that I can't wait any longer, right? "
" Speaking of which, I really don't know much about the powers of the four sides. Therefore, I'm not in a hurry to make a choice. I need to understand more before I can have a better choice."
"For the time being, add in some power. It is indeed necessary. Otherwise, I might not have been able to walk smoothly in this Myriad Heart World. Although joining a faction will cost me some money, I will not hesitate to do so. After all, I won't stay in the Myriad Heart World for long. Everything is for the sake of my growth. "
"Borrowing power from others is still necessary"
Borrowing the power of others would reduce the number of detours one would take. Cultivation. To put it bluntly, most of the time, it was a process of borrowing strength.
Joining a force, obtaining opportunities, receiving guidance from their ancestors, and obtaining the Cultivation Method - basically, it was borrowing strength from others to improve oneself.
It depended on how one grasped something like borrowing strength. If one grasped it well, it would indeed allow one to improve at lightning speed.
The moment Qin Xiao walked out of the cultivation room, Ba Batu hurriedly walked over, as if he had found a life-saving straw. With an incomparably anxious expression, he stepped forward and said: "Sir, you have finally come out of seclusion. If you still don't come out, I will collapse."
Seeing that Ba Batu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile. He wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely sat down and poured himself a cup of wine before drinking it.
Qin Xiao wasn't in a hurry, but Ba Batu couldn't help it.
He said again, "Master, can you say something? You did not know that in your hundred years of seclusion, there were people who came looking for you almost every day. I feel like I've been driven crazy. Furthermore, there are a lot of gifts being sent here, almost filling up the entire place. I'm not taking this either. It's not like I can refuse it. I really don't know how to deal with it."
These hundred years, to someone like Ba Batu who had never seen much of the world, was absolutely torture.
There was an endless stream of people who came to Qin Xiao's doorstep to see him. Sometimes, there were even dozens of waves a day.
Those who came would at least bring some gifts, and these gifts were naturally incomparably precious to Ba Batu.
Accumulating a small amount to a large amount, a hundred years of accumulation was indeed a very considerable amount.
However, Qin Xiao was obviously not interested in these things. Instead, he said faintly, "Ba Batu, calm down a little. I had long predicted that there would be such troublesome matters. That's why I kept you here to help me block these troubles. It seems that you have worked hard all these years. "
" Hehe, it's not hard at all. " Ba Batu was flattered by Qin Xiao's words. He quickly scratched his head and laughed.
This feeling was really great.
Speaking of which, Ba Batu did not have a hard time in the past hundred years. It was just that he had to deal with all kinds of big shots every day. To Ba Batu, it was indeed very scary.
After all, he was just a small figure, living at the lowest level of Ba Yicheng.
"Ba Batu, what's the situation with the City Lord's Mansion, Hundred Treasure Gathering, Red Mountain Building, and Myriad Country Mansion over the past few years?" Qin Xiao asked.
Speaking of serious business, Ba Batu immediately perked up and said with a serious face, "Master, these four powers are doing fine. Apart from sending some people to deliver some gifts, there's nothing else. The main thing is that some of them are from other major powers. It can be considered that they have come in advance to make friends with Master. "
Qin Xiao curled his lips. He wasn't surprised at all. This was completely within his expectations.
The four major powers were the main consideration of Qin Xiao. As for the other major powers, it was totally negligible.
However, Qin Xiao still needed to know more about these four major powers.
"Ba Batu, how much do you know about these four major powers?" Qin Xiao asked.
Ba Batu seemed to have been prepared for this. He immediately said, "Master, I have specially researched and researched some of these four major powers over the years, although I am certain that I am unable to understand the deeper level of things. However, I think I should be able to understand some of the basic situations. "
Qin Xiao smiled. Ba Batu must have done his homework in the past hundred years.
In terms of subordinates, Ba Batu was indeed a qualified subordinate.
However, his strength was indeed a little weak, and his talent and potential were also a little weak. The value of nurturing him was relatively low.
If not, he could really cultivate him for a while. Perhaps he could even become a capable assistant.
He was a famous and capable subordinate. That would indeed save him a lot of trouble sometimes.
"Mm, tell me in detail. I'll also get to know more about it." Qin Xiao said.
Ba Batu immediately perked up. His face was full of excitement as he said, "Master, let's talk about the City Lord's Mansion first."
Qin Xiao's understanding of the City Lord's Mansion was mainly from Qidong City Lord's point of view. As Ba Yicheng's City Lord, Qin Xiao naturally knew a lot about Qidong City Lord.
Qidong City Lord was indeed an extraordinary figure. Qin Xiao also had some appreciation for this.
"I'm sure you know the responsibility and status of City Lord's Mansion. It's our Ba Yicheng's Ruler. The ruler, the guardian of the rules. The executor represents the sacred conduct of all living things. It could be said that... The City Lord's Mansion was sacred and inviolable. As long as it was in Ba Yicheng, no matter who it was, it didn't matter. We can't even suppress the City Lord's Mansion."
"Even a 3-star All Creations expert cannot be above the City Lord's Mansion. This is the authority of the City Lord's Mansion."
Qin Xiao nodded. He knew this even if Ba Batu hadn't told him about it.
No matter where it was, it was the same. This was the most basic law, the rule set by the strong.1
"Qidong City Lord is a legendary figure. He was once known as a peerless genius that only appeared once every few million years, and he had written all kinds of legends. Qidong City Lord... He was definitely the number one villain. Furthermore, he has gained the support of all of us, Ba Yicheng, and is an impeccable City Lord. It was said that... He is also very heroic and loyal."
"However, master, Qidong City Lord wants to recruit you, which means that he is the one who wants to recruit you, not the City Lord's Mansion."
"Oh, it's not the City Lord's Mansion in a pure sense. What kind of explanation is that?" Qin Xiao asked curiously and puzzledly.
Ba Batu nodded. "Yes, my lord. It is not purely in the sense. To put it simply, Qidong City Lord wanted to win over Master. That was his personal action. It had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion. "
" The City Lord's Mansion represents the Myriad Thing Divine Temple after all. If it had something to do with the City Lord's Mansion, then the only explanation was that it had something to do with the Myriad Thing Divine Temple. The Myriad Thing Divine Temple is the ruler of the Myriad Heart World, a supreme existence. No one dares to disrespect it, and no one dares to resist it."
"Therefore, if it really rises to the level of the Myriad Thing Divine Temple, there will be no more competition. Besides, my lord, you don't have to choose anything else. You must have joined the Myriad Thing Divine Temple. Don't even think about it. "
"But in fact, that isn't the case. The Myriad Thing Divine Temple is the absolute ruler of the Myriad Heart World. They won't easily take in disciples, and they won't easily compete with other powers for geniuses."
"That's why the Myriad Thing Divine Temple won't make a move. Qidong City Lord could only represent himself to win over the lord. Once you join the City Lord's Mansion, you will be serving Lord Qidong as well."
Qin Xiao nodded. Only now did he understand what was going on.
If Ba Batu hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have known that there was such a thing hidden behind the scenes. It was interesting that the City Lord wasn't representing the City Lord's Mansion.
However, after thinking about it, he quickly understood that it was true.
A supreme power like the Myriad Thing Divine Temple would naturally not easily accept disciples. There must be very strict conditions to do so.
Moreover, such a supreme power wouldn't easily compete with those small powers for geniuses. That would be a disgrace.
Of course, if it was really the Heaven and Earth Harmony that the Myriad Thing Divine Temple had set their eyes on, they would naturally make their move.
However, it would be extremely difficult to get their eyes on Heaven and Earth!
This kind of thing could only be thought about. It wasn't practical to expect such a thing to happen to him.
