Chapter 932: Fusion Cultivation Method

"This..."

The Mu Master puppet hurried forward and looked down.

The opponent's *zhenqi* orb, though small, bore a faint, rainbow-like halo that reflected light, captivating anyone who gazed upon it.

More than three hundred strands of *zhenqi* were interwoven in a special, layered structure, without the slightest error or omission. It was impeccable; even he couldn't find any flaws.

Even in his prime, it had taken him nearly a hundred years of continuous research, contemplation, and experimentation, meticulously adjusting the subtle details and distances of each *zhenqi* strand, to achieve this.

The opponent had accomplished this in less than ten minutes since receiving the book, without even appearing to open its pages. It was more perfect and beautiful than anything he had ever created... How on earth did he do it?

Looking at the other party, he felt as if his nearly hundred years of research had all gone to waste.

As he stood there in shock, the young man opposite him continued to flick his fingers, sending out countless strands of *zhenqi* that formed a huge barrier before his eyes. A continuous sizzling sound filled the air, and then dozens of *zhenqi* orbs, no bigger than grains of rice, appeared suspended nearby.

Boom!

A violent sonic boom erupted, and immediately after, the young man nearby clapped his hands together in the air. The dozens of *zhenqi* orbs converged simultaneously, shrinking to the size of longans.

"That works too?" Swallowing hard, the Mu Master puppet felt as if he was about to collapse.

*Zhenqi* orbs and *zhenqi* solutions were like stacked explosives or assembled building blocks; they would easily dissipate with the slightest collision. When he tried to combine two solutions, he had to be extremely cautious, spending five full years controlling the distance and force, fearing any mishaps.

Yet, this person simply clapped his hands, and dozens of solutions condensed into one, without any problems or explosions... To what extent must one understand power to achieve such a feat?

Witnessing this, he began to wonder if he had cultivated a fake Sealing Saint Solution, and if what the other person cultivated was the true one!

"Is this how it's cultivated?" After completing these actions, Zhang Xuan looked over, full of doubt. "It doesn't seem that difficult; it shouldn't take hundreds of years, right?"

He had originally thought it would take hundreds of years to condense these, just as the other party had said. But now it seemed quite simple and didn't take any time at all.

Could it be true that the founding patriarch of the Master Teacher Academy spent centuries on such a simple *zhenqi* condensation?

His talent seemed a bit too poor.

"Cough, cough, this, this... it's not important!" With a twitching mouth, the Mu Master puppet hurriedly shook his head.

In front of others, he could boast about his talent and abilities, but before this young man, he was utterly crushed, not even worth a speck... He was so demoralized that he lost the courage to speak.

He carefully observed the dozens of solutions the other person had condensed. In terms of power, distance, and control over *zhenqi*, they far surpassed his own. Even at his peak strength, he wouldn't be able to do better if he tried to recreate them.

It could be said that the other person's comprehension of the Sealing Saint Solution already exceeded his.

Just as he felt he had nothing more to teach the other person, he saw the young man nearby furrow his brows, looking puzzled.

"No, this Sealing Saint Solution, while appearing very stable, actually has many flaws. It's still a long way from a perfect structure..."

Arranging it in the way the other person described certainly made the *zhenqi* more stable and the resulting false cores and illusory cores stronger... However, through the Library of Heaven's Path, many loopholes and defects could still be seen. Against a true master, it would be easily shattered.

This meant that the Sealing Saint Solution was not flawless; it was still a considerable distance from being a Heaven's Path cultivation technique.

"If only I could supplement it with some corresponding cultivation methods..." He lowered his head in thought.

Having grown accustomed to cultivating Heaven's Path techniques, he really couldn't practice such a flawed technique...

It was like being used to fine food and clothes, where simple fare was hard to swallow.

"It seems I need to go to the academy's Skill Pavilion and find some cultivation manuals for Chrysalis Realm, Half-Saint, and Conferred Saint!"

He rubbed his temples.

He was now the dean with the highest authority in the history of the Master Teacher Academy; he could view anything he wanted, with no one left to restrain him.

If worst came to worst, after leaving this Record Mountain, he would go to the Skill Pavilion. As long as there were enough books, he didn't believe he couldn't complete the Sealing Saint Solution.

"I know this cultivation method has flaws, but it's already the optimal solution designed by countless predecessors," the Mu Master puppet said, shaking his head upon hearing him mention flaws.

Even a 9-star Master Teacher wouldn't dare claim that a cultivation method they created had no problems.

The Sealing Saint Solution, combining the efforts and wisdom of countless predecessors, could indeed make the resulting Primordial Embryo more powerful, but as the other person said, it had many drawbacks.

However, no one at the same cultivation level could discern its flaws. Even if someone could, they would have to be an 8-star Master Teacher or above. Yet, even against such individuals, the technique remained formidable.

"Indeed!"

Zhang Xuan understood that the other party grasped this point, and he too understood it. Shaking his head, just as he was about to end the topic, he heard the Mu Master puppet sigh, unable to help but muse aloud.

"Not everyone possesses the talent of Master Kong. If only we could find the cultivation technique he left behind, things wouldn't be like this."

"The cultivation technique left by Master Kong?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

On the Sealing Saint Platform, he had encountered Master Kong's remnant soul, who had gifted him a handwritten bamboo scroll and mentioned it contained a cultivation method that, with diligent study, might lead to enlightenment...

He hadn't thought much of it at the time, but hearing the old man's words now, it suddenly came back to him.

Could it be... that the cultivation manual Master Kong mentioned was actually the Sealing Saint Solution?

The Sealing Saint Platform was where Master Kong became a Saint. The cultivation method he left behind must be related to it. If he could find it and integrate it with the Sealing Master Solution he held, it would surely form a Heaven's Path cultivation technique!

Even if it couldn't be fully formed, anything left by Master Kong would undoubtedly have very few flaws, allowing for direct cultivation.

Thinking of this, he flipped his wrist, and a bamboo scroll appeared in his palm. He casually opened it, then his mouth twitched.

He had been so focused on Master Kong's legacy that he had forgotten about the "ruthless" one...

That idiot had consumed it twice consecutively, leaving only a third of the text in the bamboo scroll. Even if there had been any cultivation method, it was probably now ruined.

What a mess... If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have let him do it, even if it killed him!

"Is that in your hand... Master Kong's personal handwriting?"

As he was pondering this dilemma, he heard the Mu Master puppet nearby speak with a slightly trembling voice.

"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded, seeing no need to deny it.

"May I... take a look?"

The Mu Master puppet hastily asked.

"Of course!" Zhang Xuan casually tossed the bamboo scroll over.

"Be careful..."

Seeing him treat Master Kong's personal handwriting so casually, the Mu Master puppet nearly fainted from fright. He fumbled to catch it, his face turning pale.

Any Master Teacher naturally revered and worshipped Master Kong. If they obtained his personal handwriting, they would wish to keep it before their eyes day and night, offering continuous homage... This fellow, however, just tossed it aside as if it were garbage, completely indifferent...

He truly didn't know if Zhang Xuan was simply bold or if he genuinely didn't care at all.

Taking the bamboo scroll, he carefully opened it. The Mu Master puppet's eyelids twitched. "Why are so many words missing from it?"

"Oh, it was like that when I got it. Maybe... it was left untouched for too long!"

Knowing that explaining the truth would be more troublesome, Zhang Xuan casually replied.

"Left untouched for too long?"

Hearing the disingenuous reply, the Mu Master puppet was speechless. However, knowing that Zhang Xuan didn't want to elaborate, he didn't press further.

He quickly flipped through the bamboo scroll.

He couldn't help but look over. "This is... an insight from the Sealing Saint Platform?"

He had visited the Sealing Saint Platform more than once in his youth. He could recite this insight backward and forward. Although a few words were different, it was largely consistent with what he remembered.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"An insight left by Master Kong's own hand... If I had found this back then, my understanding of the Sealing Saint Solution would definitely have been much deeper!"

He carefully read the remaining text in the scroll several times, and the more he read, the more profound it seemed.

Although he could recite the content, combined with Master Kong's words, it had a unique charm and felt completely different from what he had seen on the Sealing Saint Platform before.

With this understanding, he might truly be able to comprehend a distinct cultivation method, one far superior to the current Sealing Saint Solution he practiced.

"Merge!"

While he was marveling, Zhang Xuan, not far away, had his mind immersed in the Library of Heaven's Path. He placed the insight scroll and the Sealing Saint Solution together and whispered.

The two books slowly merged. Moments later, a new book appeared before him.

He gently opened it, glanced at it, and shook his head.

The insight left by Master Kong merely described his realizations during his breakthrough; it wasn't a cultivation technique. Merging it with the Sealing Saint Solution made it impossible to form a correct Heaven's Path cultivation technique. Instead, it became a chaotic mess, unintelligible.

It seemed that refining a truly correct Sealing Saint Solution was indeed not that simple.

"If I can't merge them, I can research it myself... As long as I combine Master Kong's insights, studying his feelings during breakthrough, and then integrate them with the correct content of the Sealing Saint Solution... I can definitely create a cultivation method!"

Just as he was about to give up, his heart suddenly stirred, and an idea emerged.

Although this insight didn't contain a cultivation method, it described every step of the cultivation process and the associated feelings. By using this to deduce the *zhenqi* circulation routes and combining it with the Sealing Saint Solution, he should be able to fully reconstruct the cultivation method Master Kong intended to leave behind!

A single feeling could give rise to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of *zhenqi* circulation methods. For others, even with both these items, it would be impossible to achieve this, but he was different!

He possessed the ability to clearly distinguish between what was correct and what was incorrect. As long as he found all the correct paths and pieced them together, he could find the right way!

"Let's try it!"

Acting on his thought without hesitation, Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged on the spot, concentrating his mind and meticulously analyzing and studying.
