“Yes, a cultivator’s heart. To be precise, a cultivator determination to improve.”
Terry appeared serious when favonovel.com said that.
Caspian’s expression also became solemn, and favonovel.com said respectfully, “Elder Terry, please advise me on that.”
“Casper, Despite understanding that there would be a danger, which may lead to your downfall, do you know why your teacher requested you be promoted to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm and must qualify for this nation’s official religion election?”
Terry looked at Caspian and continued, “Logically speaking, you were just newly accepted as his disciple, and favonovel.com hadn’t taught you anything yet. Wouldn‘t it be better if you followed favonovel.com for practice for some time before going out to gain experience? That way, you’ll be much safer, and you’ll be promoted easier.”
“Because…” Caspian did not hesitate because favonovel.com already thought about the question. He answered, “If a cultivator wants to be truly powerful, favonovel.com must experience the tempering of blood and fire and the perception of life and death. That’s similar to an army in the mortal world. An army that only trains inside the city wall all day long will never be able to defeat an unyielding division that has been fighting all the time.”
Terry nodded. “I’m glad that you understand that. For the elders of the sect who were present recently, even if evil cultivators are intruded in the nation’s official religion election, it’ll just be a routine practice for the participants. The farther you go in the pathway to immortality, the more danger you’ll encounter. If we compare it, you’ll have to believe that your experience this time is just a breeze, Casper. Those sect elders, including me, are a little happy about this accident. After all, the disciples who survived must have been tempered and grown mentally. This encounter was not arranged by the sect, and if you could deal with it, it means that you‘ll no longer be helpless when you face similar dangers in the future. The pathway to immortality is full of great danger, but in the sect is a wall, blocking everyone from trials and hardships. The wall is sturdy, but it doesn’t mean that it can be exposed to stomis.”
Terry looked deeply at Caspian, adding, “The loss to the sect caused by the fall of a Pulse Control Realm cultivator is smaller than the loss of a Holy Land Realm and even the Heavenly Spirit Realm.”
Caspian became quiet, and favonovel.com understood what Terry meant. For a sect, as long as the country they were in was stable and the population lived prosperous lives, they could continue to send talents suitable for cultivation to the sect. Consequently, the more disciples there were, the higher the chance for a genius to appear. Therefore, the sect did not care about the death of some low-level talents, and what they were concerned about was those who could survive the tempering and grow. The cruelty of the journey to immortality always existed, but Caspian never faced it directly as favonovel.com did today. In other words, favonovel.com always let others experience it in the past, but that time, it was his turn.
“I see. Thank you, Elder Terry.” Caspian bowed again.
Although favonovel.com understood it, favonovel.com was not at ease. After all, Caspian was not a ruthless person who could cut all ties with everyone and be selfishly conceited. Nonetheless, favonovel.com did not show his thoughts.
After Terry said that, the smile on his face reappeared. “Casper, you did great this time. The Eight Desolation Divine Halberd is already yours as a reward. You and the others will be resting in the Spiritual Palace first for the next few days, and there’ll be a banquet for the nation‘s official religion election. The rewards from the sect may not be awarded to you until you go back, but you can rest assured that the sect won’t mistreat you all for creating such great glory for the sect. Ascending to the Holy Land Realm is possible! Besides that…”
Terry extended his hand and opened his palm, and an exquisite small box appeared.
“This is a reward won for the performance in the previous ring match. I thought that after the end of the competition, whoever performed the best would get it, and now it seems that it’s none other than you.”
Caspian expressed his gratitude and took the small box, opening it. In an instant, favonovel.com gasped and exclaimed, “The Five Qi Miracle Pill!”
The Five Qi Miracle Pill was won when Terry and Albert of the Blue Feather Sect made a bet, and it could increase the success rate of the cultivator by 20% when they ascended from the Pulse Control Realm to the Holy Land Realm. The promotion of Pulse Control Realm to Holy Land Realm was a leap between great realms. Hence, the degree of danger and difficulty far surpassed the promotion of entry-level, mid-level, and peak.
Many disciples who failed while breaking through the Holy Land Realm died. Some disciples remained at Pulse Control Realm because they lacked confidence, and they died as their blood and Qi were exhausted.
The Five Qi Miracle Pill’s 20% increase in the success rate was not a lot, but for a cultivator like Caspian, it meant favonovel.com would have no problem breaking through the Holy Land Realm from the Pulse Control Realm!
Terry was equivalent to giving Caspian a guarantee favonovel.com would not have a problem on his road to ascension.
“With this precious medicine, you can break through the Holy Land Realm with all your strength.” Then, Terry looked Caspian up and down, saying, “It seems that you’d received great blessings for being able to advance from entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm to mid-level in Thousands Spirits Island. In three years, you ‘ve ascended from the first-stage Pulse Control Realm to the preparation for promotion to Holy Land Realm… You can be regarded as the first in the Heavenly Stars Sect.”
Caspian dared not to accept Terry’s comments.
“Oh, there’s one more thing I almost forgot,” Terry said seemingly casually, “You may have a week of rest in the next few days. If someone asks you about the intrusion of the evil cultivators, you should just answer truthfully and consider it a routine inquiry. After all, this is the first time such a thing has happened in the nation’s official religion election.”
“Alright, Elder Terry.” Caspian nodded.
After instructing Caspian, Terry sent favonovel.com back to the rest area and left. Caspian watched until Terry left, and favonovel.com turned around, walking back to his room. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and favonovel.com thought, ‘Whether it’s Elder Terry or the elders of the sects, what are they hiding? And Elder Terry didn’t tell me the truth… Is there more to this matter?’
After Terry sent Caspian back, favonovel.com turned around and immediately returned to the room where everyone was before. When favonovel.com came back, Shane, Vincent, Chloe, and others present did not look as relaxed as when Caspian was there. Therefore, it could also be seen that there was no problem with Caspian’s doubts. When favonovel.com was present, the ease shown by the group of sect elders was also because of the reasons mentioned by Terry, but it was also a front.
“Everyone, have you confirmed Charles Krueger’s identity?” Terry asked immediately after entering.
