No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? Chapter 119

Outside the hall of the Jin Nation Academy, 432 people were bathing in the golden sun.

The 432 people consisted of both men and women, but there were at least a few hundred women.

Everyone stayed silent, still keeping their eyes fixed on the man in purple in the middle of the main hall.

He was their Senior Brother and a scholar of the older generation in Jin Nation.

Some knew his name, but most people still didn't know where he came from.

However, they could tell from his demeanor and aura that he was not to be trifled with.

The man in purple walked out of the main hall.

He looked at the newly promoted disciples in the front row who were all handsome and refined, with confidence and pride in their eyes

“First of all, congratulations on joining the Jin Nation Academy and becoming a student of the academy.”

“However, don't rejoice too soon or think that joining the Jin Nation Academy is the same as being at the peak of your life.”

“I can tell you responsibly that after joining the Jin Nation Academy, you will be facing huge blows.”

The man in purple didn't seem very friendly or particularly austere. He simply remained calm.

“I know what you are thinking, some of you have spent your whole life yearning to join the Jin Nation Academy and excel as a student so that you can return and bring glory to your ancestors.”

“However, the Jin Nation Academy will not teach you any supreme skill or teach you how to become stronger. The original intent during the establishment of the Jin Nation Academy was to broaden the horizons of students.”

“That's right, to broaden your horizons.”

“Why would I say that you would face heavy blows after you join the Jin Nation Academy?”

“It's because after you join the Jin Nation Academy, you will realize how mediocre you are. You will realize that you think that you're talented geniuses now only because you think that this state is your entire world.”

“Hence, you think you're impressive and strong, but after you truly join the Jin Nation Academy, you will realize how large this world is.”

“Only then will you understand how competent the true geniuses of Jin Nation really are and as you progress, you will find out just how many more geniuses there are in the Ten Nations, what more the Great Xia Dynasty. Then, you will discover how small you are.”

“So, put away the pride and conceitedness that you have in your hearts. Don't be complacent and think that you're elite just because you have joined the Jin Nation Academy. Don't develop a sense of superiority and act like tyrants.”

“I can tell you clearly that after joining the Jin Nation Academy, you will become more and more aware of how weak you really are and how vast this world really is as you advance further.”

“So, I advise you to leave the Jin Nation Academy as soon as possible if you don't wish to suffer a huge blow.”

“Take Ye Ping, who is now the talk of the town, for example!”

The man in purple sounded passionate, but he suddenly mentioned Ye Ping at the end of his speech.

“I believe you have all heard of Ye Ping before. They call him the savior of Qingzhou and even the top genius of Qingzhou, but at the end of the day, he's just a relative of the Qingzhou City Lord.”

“If I ever meet such a person, I'd definitely let him know what a true genius is, and I'll also make him realize that clout is nothing in the face of true powerhouses.”

“However, he's smart enough not to appear here. If he dares to show up here, I'll let him know how strong a genius really is.”

“Among you, there will definitely be people like Ye Ping, I advise you to leave on your own accord and make sure you don't land in my hands.”

The man in purple looked calm.

He stopped speaking at this point as he had already said what he should.

Those who could understand would know what he was driving at.

Afterwards, the man in purple left while the man with the booklet in his hand followed suit, leaving the 432 people behind. They were all standing still quietly and pondering about what the man in purple said.

After the man in purple left, there were some who couldn't help but speak up.

“Senior Brother Fang Lei is indeed impartial and ruthless like he is rumored to be.”

“Exactly, Senior Brother Fang Lei might only be at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, but legend has it that he's a ruthless person who likes challenging Golden Core powerhouses every now and then. He's extremely ferocious.”

“He's the only son of the Fang Family of Jin Nation. His father is the great general of Jin Nation, and since he grew up in such an environment, he's definitely ferocious.”

“Ah, we were too unlucky. It was hard for us to get into the Jin Nation Academy, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Fang to become our guide. Our future is going to be agonizing.”

The people were discussing incessantly.

In the distance, Fang Lei walked in front silently.

The man behind him spoke up.

“Senior Brother, in a while, it will be the grand competition of Jin Nation Academy. I heard that the assessment this time will be held in the Essence Demon Mystic Realm, did you know?”

The man asked.

“I knew long ago. This time, the competition is meant to prepare all candidates for the assessment of the Ten Nations Academy. Legend has it that the first assessment for the entry to the Ten Nations Academy is the Essence Demon Mystic Realm. Hence, the academies in the Ten Nations have each spent plenty of money on setting up a pseudo Essence Demon Mystic Realm in the sect so that their students can prepare well and enter the Ten Nations Academy.”

“However, I'm 100% confident of conquering the Essence Demon Mystic Realm this time. Do you want to bet? Remember to bet 100,000 Spirit Stones on me winning.”

Fang Lei sounded extremely confident, seemingly having already known.

“Ah, Senior Brother, you are really confident. The Essence Demon Mystic Realm may be inferior to the True Demon Mystic Realm, but it's at least known as one of the three great arrays of the assessment. I heard that an Essence Demon will form in this Essence Demon Mystic Realm, which will not feel pain or fear death. It's just like a killing machine.”

“Even if you reach a draw, it'd be considered a remarkable feat. Senior Brother, aren't you being a little overconfident?”

The man smiled.

“Overconfident? You'll find out in a few days if I'm being overconfident. It's just an Essence Demon, I can knock one out with a single punch.”

Fang Lei sounded even more confident.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, three more days had passed.

At the back cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Compared to before, Ye Ping's current breakthrough speed became slower and slower. With the enhancement of a large amount of merit in the first ten days, he re-cultivated at least 25 times.

However, Ye Ping spent a total of ten days on the last one, only to re-cultivate to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm.

However, Ye Ping fortunately reached the tenth level of Qi Refinement on the eleventh day.

He re-cultivated 36 times.

He was basically about to reach perfection.

He just had to perfect the last part before he could complete the Qi Refinement realm and break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Half of the Merit Golden Lotus was depleted too.

Ye Ping was not stingy with his merit during the last charge.

The massive amount of merit turned into spiritual energy.

Ye Ping started his last charge.

He had ten spirit veins in his body.

Each spirit vein was like a river that contained a massive amount of Dharmic powers which were more than a hundred times stronger than when he was in Qingzhou.

However, at this moment, with the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, the eleventh spirit vein appeared.

Soon, the twelfth one was opened too.

Next, it was the thirteenth.

The fourteenth.

The fifteenth.

Finally, thirty-six spirit veins appeared in his body.

The thirty-six spirit veins led to the dantian in his body.

The 36 spirit veins were like 36 rivers as the terrifying spiritual energy surged over.

He had to open up the dantian in order to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The characteristics of the Qi Refinement realm were that the Dharmic powers were hidden in the spirit veins, but they would deplete every moment.

The characteristics of the Foundation Establishment realm were that the Dharmic powers were condensed in the dantian through the spirit veins, and the capacity of one's dantian would be more than ten times that of the spirit veins. At the Foundation Establishment realm, one would not have to meditate frequently to replenish Dharmic powers either.

When the Dharmic powers were condensed in the dantian, the quality would also be improved.

That was the difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement cultivators.

The quality of the Dharmic power would be improved and become more than ten times as strong as that of a Qi Refinement cultivator.

Thus, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could perform the same sword technique ten times or even a hundred times with a power that's several times more powerful than that of Qi Refinement cultivators.

Ye Ping was facing the same thing.

The place where the 36 spirit veins condensed Dharmic powers was the dantian.

He had to open up the dantian in one go.

Boom!

An hour later, all the spiritual energy in the Qingyun Mountain Range surged into Ye Ping's body.

Soon, there was a loud explosion that could be heard throughout the entire mountain range.

Countless people were awakened, and the ones who reacted the most vigorously were the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

“It's going to rain, hurry up and collect your clothes.”

Xu Luochen said as he hurriedly went out to collect the clothes as he thought that it was about to rain.

In the rear cliff, Ye Ping's body was dazzling and a faint golden light shrouded him like a heavenly god.

At this moment, the 36 spirit veins in his body had already been connected to the dantian and a massive amount of spiritual energy surged into the dry dantian.

At the same time, a green lotus appeared in Ye Ping's dantian too.

The green lotus had 36 petals, each of which seemed to represent one re-cultivation.

That was the thirty-sixth-grade Green Lotus.

It symbolized supreme perfection.

It also meant that Ye Ping had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
