Chapter 358: Chapter 295: The Road
Wang Sheng’s Spirit World could help simulate a breakthrough at the Grandmaster Level, and it could be said to be mutually beneficial. The timing this time was not bad.
Wang Lingwei and Zhou Tian were, apart from Liu Jian’an, among the twelve with the strongest potential, having already reached the limit of Ninth Grade Martial Artists, capable of breaking through to the Grandmaster Level.
To be honest, their ages were not considered young.
The requirements for reaching Grandmaster Level were too rigid; youth was an advantage, but this advantage was not as great as imagined.
Of course, it was also because of their own high demands on themselves, aiming to find their own Grandmaster paths. Otherwise, given their conditions, they would have already made the breakthrough long ago.
Wang Sheng visited the Spirit World once more and, with the enhancement of his power, his own Spirit World became even more perfect. He could try to attempt it with multiple people at once.
If it were possible, the ideas he had before might not be unachievable.
“Let’s see what the results will be at that time!”
It was not long before the end of the 554th year of the Great Zhou calendar arrived, and the annual gathering was about to begin.
The youths from the village were returning one after another.
Wang Sheng asked the village chief to call over those Martial Artists who were close to the Grandmaster level.
Wang Lingwei, Zhou Tian, Li Yongfeng, and two others, a total of five people.
These were the ones close to reaching the Grandmaster level. One could say that, except for Li Yongfeng, they could break through at any time if they wanted to.
There were also those like Zhang Xue, Li Yongfeng’s wife, and Shi Yunqing, Liu Jian’an’s wife, who were close to reaching that stage as well.
They just lacked a little bit more.
If the connection of multiple people in the Spirit World were feasible, Wang Sheng would later allow everyone to enter the Spirit World for their breakthroughs.
Of course, as to why Wang Sheng called them over, Wang Lingwei, Li Yongfeng, and the others were still unclear. Liu Jian’an also feared causing trouble for Wang Sheng and hadn’t revealed the detailed reasons for his breakthrough, so they only knew it was related to Wang Sheng.
However, those present weren’t foolish; as Martial Artists close to the Grandmaster level, they were easily able to guess the reason for being summoned here.
“Uncle, did you call us here because you want to help us break through to the Grandmaster level?” Many years had passed, and Wang Lingwei had grown into a graceful and impressive figure. Despite her respect for Wang Sheng, she spoke without much reservation.
“Indeed, it’s for this matter!” Wang Sheng nodded.
The faces of everyone revealed expressions of surprise; they naturally were willing to achieve an early breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.
Having gone out to gain experience, they also became more knowledgeable, aware that many of their contemporaries who did not intend to forge their own paths had already become Grandmasters, and the pressure on them was not small.
But from a young age, Yue had taught them that following their own paths would bring greater benefits in the future.
Having been instilled with this philosophy for over a decade, they had been able to endure until now.
As for the way in which Wang Sheng was going to help them, they never doubted that it would be the path of their predecessors.
They were well aware of Wang Sheng’s prowess, having grown up in Qingshan Village and also seen the world outside.
The breakthrough they spoke of was definitely about finding their own paths.
Of course, only four people were surprised; one person seemed somewhat hesitant.
Wang Sheng noticed it but didn’t say much.
“The next step will be to take you to a world where both your body and Qi-Blood will be simulated. There, you can try freely…”
He repeated what he had previously told Liu Jian’an.
The surprise on everyone’s faces grew even more.
This method was simply too suitable for them.
“Get ready, and I’ll start right away!”
They had nothing special to prepare; with a thought from Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought, four people entered the Spirit World. After briefly instructing them, Wang Sheng turned to look at the last remaining person—Wang Lingwei.
“Tell me, what are you thinking?”
Wang Lingwei’s talent was scarcely inferior to that of Liu Jian’an; in fact, Wang Sheng even noticed something on Wang Lingwei that seemed to indicate she could have broken through to the Grandmaster level long ago if she had followed her own path.
But she had held off until now, and she had hesitated to speak when the opportunity arose to assist in reaching the Grandmaster level.
Clearly, there was something on her mind.
“Uncle,” Wang Lingwei wasn’t surprised that her thoughts had been revealed, and with her uncle addressing it directly, she naturally would not keep hiding her thoughts, “I want to learn that Spiritual Cultivation pathway you practice, as well as the technique you use to wield flying swords…”
Since childhood, she had seen Wang Sheng’s flying swords and remembered them to this day.
Others might have also remembered, but as they advanced higher in their Qi Blood Martial Arts cultivation, it slipped from their concern.
Only she was different; she had delayed her breakthrough to Grandmaster deliberately for fear that advancing too far in Qi Blood Martial Arts would affect her Spiritual Cultivation.
After hearing her reasons, Wang Sheng didn’t know what to say and even found it somewhat amusing.
“If that’s the case, why didn’t you mention it earlier?”
“Well, I wasn’t aware of the situation,” Wang Lingwei replied with a hint of embarrassment.
After all, this was no minor matter, and she wasn’t sure how to approach it.
“Break through to Grandmaster first. As for the Spiritual Cultivation path, don’t rush; it won’t be affected before you reach the level of a Great Grandmaster.”
Yue also switched to Spiritual Cultivation mid-way and even practiced Array techniques.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Sheng understood more.
According to the information left by the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley, the Qi Blood Martial Arts could eventually link to the spirit in the later stages, although this Spiritual Cultivation path was wholly different.
Prioritization was important.
Based on Yue’s cultivation experience, Grandmaster Level Martial Artists who switched to this path wouldn’t suffer much impact.
