355 He’s Not Human
After three sweet days, Yuchi left the human city with Yue Hanjiang.
Yu Shengyun and Ershania had obviously received a lot of benefits. Their faces were flushed red, and they were exuding an amazing amount of vitality.
With Yuchi’s help, their cultivation speed was ten times, or even a hundred times faster, than usual. Still, as far as the current situation was concerned, their strength was still lacking.
The first grade of the Dao realm was impressive to others, and would qualify one to become the leader of a small race. However, for the purposes of following Yuchi to dangerous places like the primordial sea, it was utterly insufficient.
Wanqi Yanhuo was standing outside a room, pacing back and forth. When the door finally opened, she walked in. Seeing Yu Shengyun and Ershania sitting there, she asked hopefully, “Seniors, I’m sorry to disturb you, but I’ve come with a request. Can you take me as your disciple?”
Ever since Wanqi Yanhuo had heard Yu Shengyun talk about Yuchi’s strength, she had been unable to compose herself. She felt so weak and insignificant in comparison, which was why she wanted to become stronger.
Yu Shengyun smiled and nodded, “If you want to increase your strength, we can help you.”
“But there’s no need to become our disciple. After all, the two of us don’t know much about cultivation. The reason why we’re stronger than you is not because we are more talented than you are, or have put in more effort, but simply because our races have more resources and access to cultivation techniques.”
Yu Shengyun was telling the truth. If she had been born in the human race, would she still have such strength?
The answer was definitely no.
Wanqi Yanhuo was very touched after hearing this.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you both. I’ll try not to interfere with your daily lives. You just need to point me toward a path, and I’ll slowly explore it.”
Yu Shengyun looked at Ershania with a smile, and Ershania smiled too.
Thus, Wanqi Yanhuo entered the tutelage of Yu Shengyun and Ershania.
As they were preparing to start cultivating, Wanqi Yanhuo asked a question that she had been hiding in her heart, “Seniors, if I want to reach Senior Yuchi’s level, how long will it take?”
Yu Shengyun did not answer the question directly.
Instead, she returned the question to Wanqi Yanhuo.
“How long do you think it will take to catch up to him?”
Wanqi Yanhuo pondered for a while, and finally said, “I feel that based on the current situation, I should be able to catch up to Senior Yuchi’s current level in about 1000 years.”
She was very nervous.
Ershania and Yu Shengyun looked at each other and smiled.
Only then did Ershania continue where Yu Shengyun had left off, “Actually, we can give you a better idea.”
“Let’s look at it from the point of view of an average genius. If that person wants to reach the Dao realm from the mortal realm, it should take about 100 years. When that person reaches the Dao realm, there are nine different levels in total, which will usually take 1,000 years to break through and reach the Dao essence realm.”
“As for breaking through to the Dao heart realm…”
“I can’t give you a proper estimate. Countless Dao essence realm cultivators are stuck at the first grade of the Dao essence realm for their entire lifetime.”
Wanqi Yanhuo stood in place, dumbfounded. It would actually take so long?
Thinking this …
Wanqi Yanhuo immediately followed up, “I won’t hide it from you, but I previously investigated Senior Yuchi. He only started cultivating twenty to thirty years ago. I don’t understand how he could reach the Dao heart realm in twenty to thirty years.”
When Yu Shengyun and Ershania heard that, they smiled bitterly.
Yu Shengyun said, “There are a lot of miracles in this world. Yuchi is one of those miracles. He’s not a normal person.”
“Or perhaps for lack of a better term, he’s not human.”
“So it was like that…”
Wanqi Yanhuo understood.
Yuchi, who was hurrying toward the primordial sea, sneezed slightly.
