Other than when he was trapped in the Sword God's Ruins and was unable to leave, Qin Chuan rarely spent a large amount of time cultivating in seclusion. This time, due to the matter of the Void Lotus, Qin Chuan had been in seclusion in the cultivation room for a full year.
During this year, apart from studying various types of battle formations, Qinchuan's biggest achievement was to raise his cultivation from the middle Dongxu stage to the late Dongxu stage.
For ordinary cultivators, it was almost unimaginable to make a small breakthrough in one year. However, for Qinchuan, this improvement was far from enough. His goal was to reach the Form Synthesis stage within three years. But now, after a year, he had only made a small breakthrough. There was still the peak of the Dongxu stage and the peak of the Dongxu stage. He was still far away from the Form Synthesis stage!
During this year of closed-door cultivation, Qinchuan realized that if he didn't have a great opportunity, it would be very difficult for him to reach the Form Synthesis stage in the remaining two years. Therefore, he decided to leave his closed-door cultivation and go out to find his own opportunity.
When Qinchuan came out of the cultivation room, it was very quiet. There was no one in the room. He didn't contact Lü Zi or Night Serenity. Instead, he left his room alone and wandered around aimlessly. Then, he met Thélon.
When Thélon saw Qinchuan, he was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a year. Your cultivation has increased again. You've made great progress."
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "This is nothing. It's still far from my expectations."
According to Qinchuan's plan, he should have reached the peak of the Dongxu stage in one year. However, there was still a big gap between him and the peak of the Dongxu stage.
Tai Long frowned slightly when he saw that Qin Chuan was not satisfied with the progress of breaking through a small realm in a year. "Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You should know that more haste makes less speed.
Among the younger generation, you are already an outstanding talent. It can be said that you have reached the limit. "
Qinchuan understood what Thélon was saying, but under the threat of the Lotus of Void, it was useless.
Seeing Qinchuan's silence, Thélon said to Qinchuan, "Actually, if you want to increase your strength as soon as possible, it's not like there's no shortcut, it's just that it's very dangerous."
Qinchuan was curious about Thélon's shortcut. He looked at Thélon and asked, "What is this shortcut you're talking about?
Could it be some kind of evil technique? "
Thélon shook his head and replied, "Of course I can't recommend you to practice some kind of evil technique. The shortcut I'm talking about is lingering on the edge of life and death. Dig out your own potential and push your limits again and again. This way, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and there won't be any repercussions."
Hearing Thélon's words, Qinchuan couldn't help but think of the one against a thousand challenge he had participated in in the mountain city. The shortcut Thélon mentioned sounded similar to the one against a thousand challenge.
Qinchuan looked at Thélon and asked expectantly, "How do I do it?"
Thélon replied, "In one month, there will be an exchange between the Celestial Cluster and the Deus Cluster. During this exchange, there will be a competition between the younger generation. You can participate and see the strength of the younger generation of the Protoss."
The younger generation of the Protoss?
Hearing Thélon's words, Qinchuan asked curiously, "Are the younger generation of the Protoss very strong?"
Thélon chuckled and said to Qinchuan, "Let's not talk about strength for now. At least in terms of self-esteem and arrogance, the Protoss is undeniably number one, whether it's the older generation or the younger generation.
And as one of the most powerful ancient races, the younger generation of the Protoss can't be weak. The strongest among them should be the same as me, at the early stage of the Unification Stage. "
Qinchuan knew very little about the Protoss. It could even be said that he didn't know anything about them. If there was an opportunity to interact with the younger generation of the Protoss, Qinchuan wouldn't want to miss it. But shouldn't this exchange be just a competition? Why would it be lingering on the edge of life and death?
Without waiting for Qinchuan to ask the question in his heart, Thélon said to Qinchuan, "Do you know why only the younger generation under the Unification Stage will participate in the exchange?"
Qinchuan asked curiously, "Why?"
Thélon looked at Qinchuan subtly and replied, "Because the younger generation of the Dongxu Stage will die. Neither the Tian people nor the Protoss will feel sorry for them."
Hearing Thélon's explanation, Qinchuan was slightly taken aback. He asked, "So, among the Tian people and the Protoss, only the overlords of the Unification Stage are the true core?"
Thélon nodded and replied, "Although it sounds very heartless and cruel, it's the truth."
Qinchuan frowned and asked, "What about Sharmila?"
Thélon heard Qinchuan mention Sharmila and said with a smile, "Sharmila is different from the others. She has the royal bloodline."
"I see."
Qinchuan nodded and said to Thélon, "I can understand your way of thinking, but that doesn't mean I'll accept it."
In the world of cultivation, the weak were prey to the strong. Qinchuan wouldn't sympathize with the weak, but he also wouldn't treat the weak as objects that could be sacrificed at will. Therefore, he could understand the way the Tian people thought, but he wouldn't accept or agree with it.
Thélon could also understand Qinchuan's behavior. After all, in ancient times, whether it was the Human Race or the Humanoid Race, all living things were equal. It was normal for Qinchuan, as a Humanoid, to inherit this way of thinking. As friends, it was good to seek common ground while reserving differences.
Thélon looked at Qinchuan and said, "I can recommend you as one of the representatives of the Celestial Cluster to participate in this conference. Although you're very strong, comparable to a mid-Body Integration Stage overlord, the geniuses of the Protoss are definitely not weak. I believe you'll be able to achieve good results in this conference."
Qinchuan asked curiously after hearing Thélon's words, "If I kill too many Protoss, will I be targeted by the Protoss?"
Thélon laughed and said to Qinchuan, "If you have the ability, then go ahead and kill as many as you want. The Protoss won't be angry because you killed one of their younger generation. They'll only think that their younger generation is weak. Of course, this is under the premise that you're also from the younger generation.
If an older generation powerhouse kills a younger Protoss, then the Protoss won't rest until they're dead. "
"Then I'll have to trouble you to sign me up."
Qinchuan said to Thélon, "If there's anything else, you can contact me directly through the photon computer."
