I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2565 - 1162: Outrageous Speculation
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Senior brother, have you gained anything?"
As Chen Mobai rose from the Primordial Dao Platform, Qing Ping on the higher step couldn't resist questioning him.
Qing Ping stayed behind to contemplate the Great Dao he sought here, but he had hit his limit before Chen Mobai's arrival and was forced to halt.
"I gained a little, understanding some of the mysteries of Primordial Dao."
Chen Mobai answered honestly; the Primordial Dao, being an Innate Great Dao, was immensely profound. Limited by his realm and not making it his main pursuit, he merely comprehended the aspects most beneficial to him.
"Not worthy of being a senior brother."
Admiration filled Qing Ping; he had sat for three days on the Primordial Dao Platform with zero insights. Yet he had advanced in the Innate Five Elements Great Dao.
Standing up, Chen Mobai chatted about their realizations with Qing Ping as they moved together toward the upper steps and platforms.
In truth, Chen Mobai felt astonished that Qing Ping managed to endure here.
Qing Ping himself never anticipated this either.
From his guess, it stemmed from possessing the two Soul Dharma Aspects of Rules and Primordial Bead.
"It seems I can only reach this point."
Having ascended more than five hundred steps and multiple Dao Platforms, Qing Ping let out a sudden sigh, gazing regretfully at the summit so close yet out of reach.
"Junior brother, with this chance from the Purple Cloud Palace, you might one day touch upon the Void Refining Realm."
Chen Mobai declared gravely. Among Immortal Gate's Divinity Transformation cultivators, Qing Ping stood out after switching to the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture, possessing a straightforward route to Void Refining. This differed from Qian Xing and Bai Guang, who must still search, reflect, and experiment.
His endurance almost to the top highlighted his aptitude, placing him second only to Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng in this batch of Divinity Transformation cultivators.
This outcome surprised him somewhat.
"Thank you for your encouraging words, senior brother. I'll await you and Yuheng True Monarch at the foot of the mountain."
With those words, Qing Ping let go, letting the Purple Cloud Palace's Great Dao power repel him smoothly. Unlike others' clumsy falls, he descended gracefully, as though gliding with the force down the slope.
Halfway through his descent, Qing Ping's eyes suddenly bulged wide. Qian Xing's reincarnated body was climbing up there, engrossed in his phone game.
This marked the 1500th step, a level Narcissus never attained.
Yet Qian Xing's reincarnated body, immersed in gaming, had unwittingly reached this height.
[Worthy of being an ancestor.]
Qing Ping eyed the glowing Patching Heaven Seal on Qian Xing's forehead, inwardly astonished.
Just then, Qing Ping's downward drift drew the notice of Qian Xing's reincarnated body, who lifted his eyes from the screen to observe him.
As their gazes met, Qian Xing's reincarnated body spotted the evidently aged Qing Ping and nodded courteously. Simultaneously, he scanned his surroundings, startled to realize how far he had climbed.
He remembered Deng Daoyun saying that climbing these steps would earn him a promotion and raise back home.
Promotions held little appeal; he loved his security guard position. A raise, however, mattered—it would fund new cards and equipment for his games.
That motivated his participation.
Still, Deng Daoyun had only said to climb the mountain, without specifying the distance.
At mid-mountain, with no one else visible, maybe it was time to descend?
With that idea, Qian Xing's reincarnated body pivoted on the steps, ready to go back without delay, still maneuvering his game character through stages on the way.
"Young friend, the view at the top is quite nice, you should take a look."
Noticing his intent to turn back, Qing Ping felt urgency and called out hastily during his descent.
"I’m not interested in views."
Qian Xing's reincarnated body shook his head, expressing no interest.
"You can think of it as a real-world game; reaching the peak is winning. Currently, no one in the Immortal Gate has achieved this, wouldn’t you want to be the first high-level player to win?"
Qing Ping thought fast, remembering the ancestor's traits, and switched to another tactic.
As expected, this made Qian Xing's reincarnated body pause his descent and shift his sight to the summit.
Qi Yuheng led, with Chen Mobai close behind, both advancing swiftly.
He ranked third.
Overcoming just two more rivals would crown him first.
This prospect intrigued Qian Xing's reincarnated body; the climb felt effortless, allowing him to keep gaming on his phone upward.
Treating it like dual gaming sessions worked well.
Thus decided, Qian Xing's reincarnated body expressed thanks to Qing Ping for the tip and continued climbing up.
Down at the base, spectators' eyes popped open, their faces etched with disbelief at the sight.
This unidentified Foundation Establishment practitioner had not only outpaced the Narcissus ancestor but could soon shatter the benchmarks set by Yunhai and Cheng Xuan True Monarchs.
"Who exactly is he?"
One person blurted out the question.
Quickly, they noted he had joined the Dance Tool Dao Academy team on the ascent, prompting related figures to cluster around Deng Daoyun.
