I gawked at the fatty. 'This fellow … is really a clown!'
I turned to look at the pile of scrap iron and then at the fatty. I couldn't help but sigh. "Should I call you stupid or praise you for having iron teeth and copper teeth?"
The fatty blushed. It was rare that he didn't argue with me. He said embarrassedly, "I don't know what's wrong with my brain. I just feel that if you can eat swords to become stronger, there's no reason why I can't …"
"Enough." I waved my hand and said snappily, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you think about the Sword Swallowing Art?
If you think it's interesting, I have a complete sword cultivation technique here. "
After the fatty heard that, he immediately stuffed the Sword Swallowing Art into my hand and shook his head like a rattle drum. "I just think that swallowing swords is fun. What's so interesting about a sword cultivation technique?
My Master told me that when we are Zhan Shi, we can't casually practice other cultivation techniques, especially those that involve fighting and killing. It will affect our pure Dao heart. Not only will it not increase our cultivation, but it will also cause our cultivation to drop. "
I didn't really believe his words. I wondered if it was Master Guan's original words or just an excuse to slack off.
However, since he didn't have the heart to practice, I couldn't force him. Thus, I put away the Sword Swallowing Art and asked him if his cultivation had increased in the past two days.
The fatty proudly raised his head and said with his hands clasped behind his back, "Originally, my cultivation was already at the peak of the Glorious Knowledge Realm. After a few days of diligent practice, it has increased again. Although I haven't become a Heavenly Master, an ordinary Heavenly Master is no match for me in terms of strength."
I didn't care about his bragging, but I was also very concerned about his cultivation. I asked, "Then, when do you think you can become a Heavenly Master?"
Who knew that after hearing this question, the fatty's complacent expression changed to one of bitterness. He sighed and said, "I really can't say for sure … Our lineage is different from other cultivators. Zhan Shi's Dao is based on divination. If you want to become a Heavenly Master, you must predict the world's great fortune."
"World's great fortune?" I frowned as I didn't understand. I asked, "What is the world's great fortune?"
The fat guy counted with his fingers. "For example, the change of a dynasty, a disaster that would endanger thousands of lives, a great fortune that would benefit the world, and so on."
Listening to him, I was a bit scared. How was this the great fortune of the world? What the fatty said was the true secret of the heavens!
After pondering for a moment, I asked him, "I'm not proficient in divination, but fortune and misfortune in this world belong to the heavens. Everyone says that the heavens can't be revealed. Can what you said really be divined?"
Fatty's expression suddenly became serious. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know either … but my master said that cultivation is a struggle. Cultivators are not people that the Heavenly Dao doesn't tolerate … Your struggle is to fight against the Heavens for Spiritual Qi, and we, on the other hand, are divining things that the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow us to peep into."
I was shocked. People that the Heavenly Dao doesn't tolerate!
I thought about Suan Ni and the conversation between the evil sacrificial spirit and Tai Sui in the Corpse Yin Sect … When Suan Ni disappeared, I heard that the Heavenly Dao was a God for the first time. In the conversation between the evil sacrificial spirit and Tai Sui, I heard about the struggle and seemed to have heard them mention a battle that they had lost … At that time, I didn't understand anything, but now that I heard the fat guy's words, I vaguely understood.
The battle that the evil sacrificial spirit mentioned might be the battle that cultivators had waged against the Heavenly Dao, and he and Tai Sui might be the survivors of that battle.
After a moment of silence, the fat guy suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you talking about this? Our cultivation bases are still low, and even my master can't understand it. Let's not worry about it.
Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. These things are far away from us. "
I nodded, but my heart still couldn't calm down.
What the fat guy said made sense. Our cultivation bases were still low, so it was meaningless to worry about it.
However, he was wrong about one thing. These things might be far away from him, but they were very close to me.
Until now, I still couldn't forget the scene where Suan Ni was getting farther and farther away from me. I had tried my best but couldn't catch up with him.
I didn't know the scale of the battle that the evil sacrificial spirit had mentioned, but I knew that even the evil sacrificial spirit and Tai Sui, who had been defeated, were extremely strong in my eyes.
As for me, I didn't know when I would be qualified to stand in front of the Heavenly Dao, let alone provoke the next war … Could Suan Ni, or I, really wait until that day came?
When the fat guy saw that I was in low spirits, he was about to talk to me again. However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
I looked up. Although we were separated by the door, I could sense that the person outside was Wang Can.
After asking him to come in, Wang Can looked at me and bowed to me. "Congratulations on your cultivation base breaking through!"
"Oh?" I felt strange and asked him, "You can see that my cultivation base has improved?"
Wang Can had reached the Heavenly Master Realm at almost the same time as me, but he was still at the early stage of the Heavenly Master Realm. His cultivation base was lower than mine, so it was impossible for him to see through my cultivation base.
"I didn't see it."
Wang Can answered with a smile, "Last night, I heard a loud noise here and thought that something bad had happened. I hurried here with Fu to check it out. I found that the Sage was breaking through, so I stayed with Fu to protect the Sage.
After the Sage broke through, I wanted to come and congratulate him, but Fu told me that the Sage had resumed his cultivation.
I was worried that I would disturb the Sage, so I left with Fu and waited until dawn to come here to congratulate him. "
I glanced outside and saw that the sky was indeed bright.
No matter what I said, Wang Can insisted on treating me like a servant. Now that we were in the Blessed Enclave, he called me the Sage. Over time, I got used to it.
I smiled and accepted his congratulations. "How are the preparations for the Heavenly Grand Ritual going?"
"The Heavenly Grand Ritual will be held tomorrow, but I don't know when the Heavenly Grand Ritual will be held."
Wang Can told me that the preparations were almost done. Since the Heavenly Grand Ritual was an internal affair of the Blessed Enclave, they couldn't invite us to watch the ceremony tomorrow.
The Allheaven Grand Competition will begin the day after the Heavenly Grand Ritual ends, which is the day after tomorrow. At that time, he'll come and take me with him.
Although the fatty was ready to fight for Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, he didn't like Wang Can, so I didn't tell him.
I took the opportunity to tell Wang Can about the fatty's decision.
After listening to him, Wang Can frowned and hesitated. "There are many families in the Blessed Enclave. Although the Glorious Memory realm is low, they have the most people. Their strength will be stronger than the secular cultivators. Moreover, many families in the Blessed Enclave have deliberately suppressed their cultivation base to the Glorious Memory realm for the sake of the Glorious Memory realm. They want to have the upper hand in the Glorious Memory realm. Therefore, this competition won't be easy."
Although he didn't say it out loud, it was clear that he doubted the fatty.
The fatty's hair stood on end. He opened his eyes wide and glared at Wang Can. He said angrily, "Wang, I want to help you because of Third Baby.
What? Do you look down on the cultivators outside?
Come on, let's not talk about the Glorious Memory realm. Let's have a competition. I'll let you, a frog at the bottom of a well, see the level of the cultivators outside! "
The two of them weren't familiar with each other, so it was normal for Wang Can to doubt the fatty's strength.
However, the fatty didn't take his kindness for granted. Of course, he was annoyed.
I hurried to stop the fatty and turned to Wang Can. "His cultivation base is extraordinary in the Glorious Memory realm. Ordinary Heavenly Masters aren't his match. You can rest assured."
After hearing my guarantee, Wang Can nodded hesitantly. However, there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes, which made the fatty angry.
I guessed the two of them didn't get along, so I had to ask Wang Can to leave first. I told him to come back on the day of the Allheaven Grand Competition and that we could go there directly.
After Wang Can left, the fatty angrily scolded him for not appreciating his kindness. After I persuaded him for a long time, he gave up and went to the lakeside to continue his cultivation.
As for me, I stayed in the Taoist Palace to stabilize my realm.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, the day of the Allheaven Grand Competition arrived.
