Open up and break into another world

Harboring some doubts about his self-created secret techniques, Xu Ming arrived outside Elder Ye Tianhun's palace.

This was a black castle.

The outer walls of the castle were covered with various vines.

Xu Ming could see that these vines were unusual; they were plant-type lifeforms that had reached the Dao Lord level!

Unexpectedly, these vine plants became unhappy with being watched.

"Look, look, look! What are you looking at!" A purplish-black sinew vine with countless sharp teeth scolded unhappily.

"I…" Xu Ming was stunned, "I was scolded by a plant?"

"Look again! Look again, and believe me, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" The tone of this purplish-black sinew vine had a kind of childish feeling; obviously, its intelligence was not very high, and it was likely a child among plants.

"Uh…" Of course, Xu Ming couldn't argue with a plant, let alone a child among plants; seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and walk to the main entrance of the castle.

"Humph!" The purplish-black sinew vine snorted coldly, with a hint of smugness after a victory.

Xu Ming shook his head helplessly, then faced the castle gate and shouted respectfully, "Xu Ming requests to see Elder Ye!"

After a long while, an echo sounded within the castle.

"Xu Ming, what do you want from me?" Ye Tianhun's voice sounded somewhat muffled.

Moreover, the castle gate was not opened, as if he was refusing guests.

"Elder Ye!" Xu Ming shouted again, "I have some doubts about cultivation that I would like to ask you about."

"Ask for guidance?" Ye Tianhun sneered, his tone revealing a hint of disdain, "Go back, I will not teach you!"

"Hmm?" Xu Ming was stunned, "Elder Ye, didn't you say that if I encountered doubts in my cultivation, I could come and ask you?"

Could it be that Ye Tianhun was a person who went back on his word?

But that's not right! Ye Tianhun is known throughout the Divine Kingdom for his integrity!

Moreover, the last time Xu Ming met Elder Ye Tianhun in the Divine Scripture Pavilion, the other party had even instructed him to learn how to create his own secret techniques!

"Strange!" Xu Ming sensed a strange feeling in Elder Ye Tianhun's tone.

Ye Tianhun's voice sounded again: "I did say that if you encountered any doubts in your cultivation, you could come and ask me! But—"

Ye Tianhun drew out his tone, obviously with a strong dissatisfaction towards Xu Ming: "But I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and conceited! I warned you not to be distracted by cultivating two Heavenly Daos; but you, you still go your own way and don't listen to advice!—A disciple as arrogant and ignorant as you is not worthy of my guidance! Moreover, even if I point out the path for you, you may not listen; since that's the case, I'm too lazy to waste my energy guiding you!"

Xu Ming didn't expect that Elder Ye Tianhun refused to guide him because he was simultaneously comprehending the Heavenly Daos of Wind and Fire…

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced—what's wrong with simultaneously comprehending two Heavenly Daos? Even if I simultaneously comprehend two Heavenly Daos, I'm still much, much faster than others who only comprehend one!

I have a cheat, I can be willful—can't I?

"Elder Ye, my Fire Heavenly Dao is not slow in cultivation!" Xu Ming argued slightly for himself.

"Humph! You're not slow in cultivation, so you can be even more arrogant and conceited! ?" Ye Tianhun snorted coldly, "Don't you understand that if you focus all your energy on the Wind Heavenly Dao, your comprehension will improve much, much faster?"

"I don't think so!" Xu Ming argued reasonably, "Although I comprehended the Wind Heavenly Dao first and planted the 'Seed of the Wind Dao' first, which greatly reduced the speed of my comprehension of the Fire Heavenly Dao! However, different Heavenly Daos can also verify and improve each other!—I believe that for me, cultivating two Daos concurrently has far more advantages than disadvantages!"

Xu Ming's words were not groundless!

As his understanding of the Heavenly Dao deepened, Xu Ming discovered that even between different Heavenly Daos, there were commonalities! In the past year or so, Xu Ming focused on comprehending the Fire Heavenly Dao; but unknowingly, his Wind Heavenly Dao had also faintly improved—although the improvement was not much, it was definitely there!

Because of this, Xu Ming became even more determined to cultivate "Two Daos" concurrently!

"Humph!" However, Xu Ming's words elicited a cold snort from Elder Ye Tianhun, "You have only comprehended a little bit of the Heavenly Dao! You, are you worthy of 'discussing the Dao' in front of me! ?—Get out of here! When you realize it and give up the Fire Heavenly Dao, come find me again!"

Get out! ?

Xu Ming also immediately became angry!

He respectfully came to visit Elder Ye Tianhun, not only was he turned away, but he was also reprimanded and told to get out—how could Xu Ming not be annoyed?

"I'll leave then!"

Xu Ming turned and left angrily, his stomach full of anger: "Humph, Elder Ye Tianhun, my Heavenly Dao comprehension is not as good as yours now, and my strength is not as good as yours, there's nothing to say! One day, I will let you see the power of cultivating two Heavenly Daos concurrently!"

Xu Ming's confident thoughts were not without basis!

You should know that even Little Cheat said that cultivating two Heavenly Daos concurrently is better!

Although Ye Tianhun is a top Dao Lord level expert, he is undoubtedly far inferior to the mysterious Little Cheat!

Therefore, what Xu Ming had to do was not to argue with words, but to use strength to make Elder Ye Tianhun submit!

……

After Xu Ming left angrily, the gate of the castle opened not long after.

Ye Tianhun walked out of the castle, his gaze deep as he looked in the direction Xu Ming left, his expression somewhat complicated: "I hope…he can understand my good intentions soon!"

Ye Tianhun, as an elder of the Dao Inquiry Palace, has a respected status! For him, scolding a junior at the Dao Lord level like Xu Ming is actually a very embarrassing thing!—But, he scolded regardless of his status, why?

Of course it's…

For Xu Ming's own good!

To scold Xu Ming awake!

To make Xu Ming "return from his misguided path"!

"Master!" The purplish-black sinew vine clinging to the castle wall couldn't help but say, "Your tone, isn't it a bit too heavy? Will you scold him into despair?"

"Impossible!" Ye Tianhun said confidently, "All true geniuses are people with unwavering martial arts will! If a few scoldings like this make Xu Ming despondent, then Xu Ming is not worth the clan's vigorous cultivation!"

The clan's higher-ups do value Xu Ming's talent very much.

It is precisely because they value him that they become even more annoyed with Xu Ming for being "disobedient."
