Your Immortal Cultivation World Is Not In Good Taste.

Chapter 7: Fighting Beyond One's Level, Fool's Dream

It was getting late.

Although Wu You was still eager for more, he had promised Jiang Bing to return on the same day, so he couldn't continue exploring.

The gains today were quite disappointing.

Only a fruit and a stone tablet without any spiritual energy fluctuations.

Indeed, treasures are not found everywhere...

He rubbed his head.

He still didn't receive the treatment of a protagonist...

The biggest gain from this trip to Vertical Cloud Mountain was the stone tablet.

Although it seemed to only record some past events...

...

On the way back, a noisy and dark spiritual energy fluctuation broke into his divine sense perception...

"Hmm?"

Wu You stopped his flying sword and looked into the distance--

He saw hundreds of Demonic Beasts gathering in groups, their appearances similar to Xuanjia Zhi.

Most of them were Rank One, with only a few Rank Two Demonic Beasts.

"What's going on?"

He approached on his flying sword, lowered his altitude, and wanted to get a clear look.

A Rank Two Demonic Beast with long spikes all over its tail on the ground had already noticed Wu You's presence.

Without any hesitation, the Demonic Beast, driven by a desire for blood, swung its long tail.

A pale purple spike instantly shot through the air, heading straight towards Wu You.

Wu You recited a sword technique, shifted his body to the side, and avoided the spike.

He watched the spike disappear from his sight, then turned his head to look at the beast group below, his expression serious.

Even a child could tell that these things were evil creatures.

Since he encountered them, he might as well take care of them.

He whispered, "You started it."

Then...

Wu You reversed his body, stepped on the sword, and fell straight down towards the beast group like a shooting star!

The flying sword followed closely behind, surrounding Wu You.

There was a loud bang!

The person in the sky landed with a loud crash.

The ground cracked and dust flew...

The Rank Two Demonic Beast that had launched the first attack had already been crushed into a pulp by Wu You's foot, splattering blood and flesh on the ground.

Unlike the tough Xuanjia Zhi, it couldn't withstand the impact.

The loud landing and the sight of blood from the same kind instantly plunged the surrounding roaring beast group into a deathly silence.

They turned around one after another, their attention drawn to the intruder who had descended from the sky.

...

Then they swarmed like locusts!

A battle was about to break out.

Wu You recited a sword technique, and the sword blade drew an arc, aiming directly at the heads of the Rank Two Demonic Beasts in his divine sense!

Although the Rank One Demonic Beasts around him seemed fierce in their attacks, they didn't require any defensive techniques.

With a casual activation of his spiritual energy shield, none of these Demonic Beasts could break through his defense.

Using only his fists and feet, Wu You shattered the limbs of the Rank One Demonic Beasts that kept rushing at him.

Low-level fighting against high-level...

It was like delivering food.

Even in battles between cultivators, it was the same, regardless of talent.

The tactic of overwhelming numbers had no use in the Immortal Cultivation World; it was a very realistic problem.

For example, even if Zhang Xianlu, a low-level Inner Sect ruffian he had encountered before, had his cultivation suppressed to the early stage of Foundation Building, the strongest Body Refining cultivator from Heavenly Mirror Sect would have no chance of winning against him.

Wait...

Exclude Qiu Yunqing from this!

He didn't dare to speak too confidently about the protagonist of a fantasy novel.

He was afraid of jinxing it.

But for other cultivators, even if their talent was exceptional, at most, they could only fight against opponents of the same level.

And the fundamental reason for this phenomenon...

Was the power that cultivators possessed!

The higher the upper limit of a power system, the more improvement in strength each realm would bring to cultivators who walked this path.

If they could still fight evenly after crossing a major realm, it could only mean that the gap between the two realms was too small.

In other words... breaking through the realm only increases one's power by a little bit.

If that's the case, each realm in the Immortal Cultivation World only becomes slightly stronger than the previous one. There are only nine realms in total, so even if one reaches the level of controlling the Heavenly Dao, it would be at most equivalent to lifting a car.

What a joke.

Therefore, the stronger the Body Refining cultivators are, the greater the power gap between different realms becomes. The higher the realm, the stronger the suppression on lower realms.

The power of the experts in the Immortal Cultivation World can easily shatter the sky. So, there's no need to mention how big the gap between each realm is on the path of cultivation.

Fighting between higher and lower realms is no different from crushing an ant.

The so-called "chosen one" and "unprecedented genius" can easily be killed as long as there is a significant gap in realm between them and their opponents.

In the world of Martial Artists, a Grandmaster can be defeated by several higher-level Martial Artists working together, or even be defeated by an army formed by ordinary people. This is precisely because the upper limit is too low.

...

After a stick of incense, there were no intact Demonic Beasts left in sight.

Standing amidst the severed limbs and bloodstains, Wu You straightened his collar.

His clothes were still clean, just slightly disheveled.

Fortunately, these things have no intelligence and do not cooperate in battle. If those Rank Two Demonic Beasts had attacked together from the beginning, he would have had to struggle.

Having resolved this small incident on the journey, Wu You continued on his way.

...

The flying sword landed in front of the Heavenly Mirror Sect's main square.

Wu You took out a sound transmission jade and informed Jiang Bing that he was safe, then headed straight for the Sutra Pavilion.

During the battle with the group of Demonic Beasts just now, he realized something - he lacked a technique that could cause area damage.

Killing one by one with his sword was too inefficient, and...

Not elegant enough.

Entering the Sutra Pavilion again, the old man in charge of managing the techniques gave him a slightly longer look this time.

It seemed that he was somewhat dissatisfied with this disciple who came to select techniques again so soon, thinking that this disciple was too impetuous.

But Wu You was completely unaware.

He went up the stairs to the second floor and was about to go to the second floor to select techniques as he did last time when he hesitated.

Profound Rank techniques...

Are they too easy?

Since there was nothing urgent to do, it would be good to spend some time studying Earth Rank techniques.

With this in mind, Wu You went directly to the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion.

...

Fang Shaohong.

This is a good name, which gives people the impression that the owner is a heroic and dashing young man.

But for Fang Shaohong herself, it is not a good thing...

She is not a young man.

Fang Shaohong, a cultivator at the Gold Core Late Stage, her age...

Let's not mention it directly.

But it is known that she has been a disciple of the Heavenly Mirror Sect for more than three hundred years.

To reach the Gold Core Late Stage within three hundred years of joining the sect... in a second-rate sect like the Heavenly Mirror Sect, she is already an exceptional genius.

It is said that the Sect Master intends to appoint her as the chief disciple after she breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

And at this moment...

This future chief disciple of the Heavenly Mirror Sect, Senior Sister Fang Shaohong, is alone on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion, comprehending a heart technique.

The Heart Sutra, an Earth Rank heart technique. Although she has no intention of cultivating it, the views in this technique are quite interesting.

Worth taking a look.

"Da...da..."

Slow footsteps echoed on the wooden stairs.

Fang Shaohong frowned slightly, shifting her attention from the heart technique jade slip in her hand, opening her eyes and glancing in the direction of the entrance.

Why would someone at the Foundation Building stage come to the third floor...

Do they think they can learn Earth Rank techniques without knowing their own limitations?

...

Wu You reached the third floor and looked around.

This floor was completely different from the first and second floors of the Sutra Pavilion, both in terms of layout and techniques.

The most noticeable difference was that there were no bookshelves on this floor.

Because Earth Rank techniques are no longer written in books, but engraved on transmission jade slips.

On the wooden walls, there were grooves at regular intervals, and the transmission jade slips emitting a faint white light were placed in them.

There were only a few dozen techniques on the third floor.

The rest of the space was filled with dozens of cushions, with three rows of redwood desks placed at intervals, and incense smoke wafting from the desks.

It seemed that the sect had prepared a place for disciples with better aptitude to comprehend techniques. However, at this moment, there was only one person sitting on a cushion...

A senior sister dressed in green.
