Cultivation Online - Chapter 2282 A New Discovery

Chapter 2282  A New Discovery

“Better late than never, huh?” Tian Yang sighed. “Unfortunately, there is such a thing as being too late, and I’m already at that stage.”

“What makes you say that?” Kulas asked, his brows tightening.

“Look at me,” Tian Yang replied. “I am already a True Immortal. At this stage, ordinary pills— even high-grade ones—are meaningless. Only something on the level of Heaven Defying Ascension Pills would benefit me to an acceptable degree. If only I had realized this talent when I was still a disciple at the Immortal Monastery…”

“That’s nonsense,” Kulas said while shaking his head. “You make it sound like True Immortal is the end of cultivation when, in reality, it’s just the beginning. There is always a higher cultivation realm, and very recently, there has been a rumor regarding the discovery of a new kind of ‘spiritual energy’, surpassing even Immortal Qi.” “Is that true?” Ren Xia asked, genuinely taken aback.

Kulas shrugged. “Why would I fabricate something like that? Though little is known right now, many believe it is the key that allows cultivators to surpass the Immortal Realm and step into an entirely different realm.”

He turned to Tian Yang and continued, “Therefore, you shouldn’t say something like being too late, Brother Tian. There’s still so much to be discovered in this limitless world.”

“I guess so.” Tian Yang nodded, feeling much better after hearing Kulas’ words.

Once the day came to an end, Tian Yang resumed his life on the Giant’s Continent. He spent his days sparring with Kulas, studying Array Symbols under Lu An, and, of course, accompanying Ren Xia in bed. From time to time, Chao Shuying would summon him so she could further study his bloodline.

Although Tian Yang had little interest in his own bloodline, he found himself deeply intrigued by the Three Pillars of Heaven, particularly their origins, and whether Elder Sun might have come from such a background.

However, acquiring any information about the Three Pillars of Heaven was nearly impossible without traveling to the Holy Continent, which was located on the far opposite side of the world, and Tian Yang had no plans to travel so far at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed since Tian Yang and Ren Xia started living with Kulas on the Giant’s Continent.

“How is my brother’s progress with his studies on Array Symbols?” Kulas suddenly asked Lu An one day.

Lu An gave a bittersweet smile as he replied, “I was just about to bring that up, Your Majesty. Senior Tian… his talent for comprehension is extraordinary. He absorbs everything I teach him like a dry sponge desperate for water.”

“Tell me about it,” Kulas said with an entertained smile.

Lu An gave a bittersweet smile as he replied, “I was just about to bring that up, Your Majesty. Senior Tian… his talent for comprehension is extraordinary. He absorbs everything I teach him like a dry sponge desperate for water.”

“Tell me about it,” Kulas said with an entertained smile.

“In just twenty short years, he’d managed to catch up to me, who has studied Array Symbols for nearly my entire 700 years of life.”

“Are you saying that he’s already a Level 6 Array Master like you?” Kulas asked, eyebrows raised in surprise.

Although he was already aware of Tian Yang’s terrifying comprehension talents, it was still hard to comprehend.

“No,” Lu An replied with a shake of his head. “His ability to comprehend and learn is extraordinary, but that doesn’t mean he can apply it right away. Despite his terrifying comprehension, his practical experience remains quite normal.”

“I understand… then will you continue to instruct him?” Kulas asked.

“Truthfully, I have nothing more to teach him,” Lu An replied. “What he needs now is practice, not guidance. Of course, should he have any questions, I will gladly assist.”

“In that case, I shall relieve you of your duties,” Kulas said. “You may continue your own pursuits as you see fit. Thank you for accepting my request. I know it couldn’t have been easy for an expert such as yourself to instruct a beginner.”

“No, on the contrary, it was a learning experience for me as well. I’ve never seriously taught anyone before. In fact, I’m considering opening a school here on the continent so I can continue teaching others. What do you think, Your Majesty?”

“A school for Array Masters, huh?” Kulas mused. “It would advance our continent even further, and we’d have far more Array Masters in the future. Very well, I’ll allow it. No, I’ll even give you my full support.”

“Thank you, Giant Emperor.”

Even after being dismissed, Lu An continued to visit Tian Yang and informed him of the situation on his next trip.

“I understand. Thank you for all your efforts,” Tian Yang said with a faint, bittersweet smile. “You might be the first true master I’ve ever had.”

“Seriously? Didn’t you belong to a sect before?” Lu An asked, surprised.

“Yes, but I trained alone most of the time. And whenever I did receive guidance, it was through public lectures with hundreds of disciples all listening at once.”

“And unless you’re exceptionally talented or have some kind of background or reputation, the elders won’t approach you. Most disciples have to seek them out and hope to be accepted. Although I was close to an elder, I could never see her as my master, and she was more like an older sister to me.”

“To think you have reached your current position without a proper Master your entire life… Honestly, I’m having a hard time believing it. You always talk about lacking talent, but from where I am sitting, you’re extremely talented.”

“Thanks…”

Time flowed on, seasons came and went, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years had passed.

During this time, the Giant’s Continent continued to develop, and Kulas’ influence started to spread beyond the continent. Ren Xia finally broke through and stepped into the Golden Immortal realm. As for Tian Yang, he remained at the True Immortal realm like Kulas. Yet the two of them could instinctively sense that they had reached a bottleneck—one that could not be surpassed through ordinary means, much like when they once stood on the verge of entering the Immortal Realm.

However, while his cultivation made little to no progress, Tian Yang had made significant progress as an Array Master and now qualified as a level 4 Array Master with his current skills.
