Chapter 486: Wu Tiannan's Fortune, A Trifling Confusion
Chapter 486: Wu Tiannan's Fortune, A Trifling Confusion
"Since you are all here, today I shall elucidate any doubts you have about the Martial Way."
Li Xuan scanned the crowd and offered a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Everyone present was overjoyed.
The Great Yue Huang, who had just approached with Wu Tiannan and the others, was thrilled. Once again, he had seized an opportunity!
Cai Ling'er attended to Li Xuan's side. As a handmaiden, she didn't need to take this chance to ask about cultivation doubts; after all, she had plenty of opportunities to do so.
This was one of the perks of being a personal attendant!
Cai Ling'er felt her decision to become one was indeed wise!
The happiest of all was Old Man Xiao. He was delighted to have the chance to ask questions of a Dao Ancestor like Li Xuan.
Of course, he didn't step forward first. He decided to wait until the end to ask his question about the Martial Way.
After all, among those present, he had the highest cultivation and was the strongest.
Ao Yu Xue took small, delicate steps forward and stood prettily behind Xu Yan, curiously sizing up her master.
Too strong! She felt that her grandfather might not even be a match for him.
With this, she would never be able to escape Xu Yan's control. She had truly become the dragon he had subdued.
Ao Yu Xue wondered if she should take this opportunity to ask a question as well. But what should she ask?
The True Dragon Clan had their own innate techniques, unlike the cultivation methods of mortals. Even if they did cultivate, the True Dragons' path to strength was different from that of humans.
"Could it be that I should ask how to avoid being subdued by the dragon-taming technique?"
Ao Yu Xue felt that if she asked this question, she probably wouldn't get an answer.
After all, Xu Yan's dragon-taming technique was taught to him by his master, and here she was, asking that very master how to avoid being subdued.
"So, what should I seize this opportunity to ask about?"
Ao Yu Xue furrowed her delicate brows, deep in thought.
Li Xuan smiled and asked, "Who has doubts about the Martial Way?"
"I am the weakest here, so I shall ask first, Senior," said Yue Changming as he stepped forward respectfully.
Li Xuan nodded. Yue Changming was about to break through to the Undying Realm, and his doubts about the Martial Way could be easily resolved.
Among the group, only Old Man Xiao's doubts held some depth, but even they could be easily answered by Li Xuan.
The higher the cultivator's realm, the more abstruse the answer to their doubts should be, allowing them to figure it out themselves!
This was Li Xuan's idea.
After guiding Yue Changming, it was Feng Yan's turn.
Feng Yan's doubt was about a problem with his divine ability, and with Li Xuan's guidance, he was able to break through the bottleneck he had been stuck at for a long time. He was thrilled.
The Great Yue Huang also asked his question, and Li Xuan provided guidance to each of them.
Among the group, Zi Yun, Du Yu Ying, and Yun Miaomiao didn't ask any questions, which was expected by Li Xuan. They were likely saving their questions for their beloved.
Finally, Wu Tiannan spoke up.
"Senior, I feel that my fortune is somewhat unusual, and I am filled with doubt!"
Wu Tiannan asked respectfully.
Old Man Xiao's eyes lit up. He, too, was curious about Wu Tiannan's fortune, suspecting that it had something to do with the Dao Ancestor before him. After all, Wu Tiannan had received guidance from Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "You carry the fortune of the heavens and earth, sheltered by its protection. Naturally, you can turn danger into safety and cultivate with ease."
Carrying the fortune of the heavens and earth?
Sheltered by its protection?
Everyone present was astonished. How had Wu Tiannan received such favor from the heavens?
Hadn't Xu Yan and the others received even more favor? After all, they were true monsters of talent.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Wu Tiannan was also puzzled. "When I was in the Inner Realm and the Spirit Realm, although I turned danger into safety, I didn't feel such a strong fortune. Otherwise, the Martial Arts Institute wouldn't have declined."
"After entering the Divine Realm, the fortune within you was truly stimulated, and your Martial Way improved. Naturally, you gained this fortune. In a sense, you are a child of fortune.
"The great changes in the heavens and earth are also an opportunity for your rise. The Supreme Realm is not out of reach for you.
Li Xuan explained with a smile.
Everyone present was amazed. With Li Xuan's words, it seemed that Wu Tiannan's cultivation to the Supreme Realm was a sure thing.
"Breaking through the shackles of the Supreme Realm and achieving the status of a Realm Master or a Small World Master is also a significant opportunity for you, although it doesn't depend solely on you."
Li Xuan added.
Old Man Xiao's face was filled with shock. Could it be that Wu Tiannan had the potential to become a Realm Master or even a Small World Master?
Breaking through to become a Realm Master, or even the master of a small world, was no simple task. Without an immense opportunity or a freakish talent, it was absolutely impossible.
While Wu Tiannan's talent was indeed remarkable, it wasn't freakish.
In fact, if not for the energy of heaven and earth that he carried, his talent alone might have only taken him as far as the Godly Sovereign Realm, and no further.
Old Man Xiao could barely restrain himself from asking how Wu Tiannan had gained such a significant opportunity to potentially break through to the Realm Master level or even become a master of a small world.
But in the end, he held his tongue, not wanting to leave even a slight negative impression on the Dao Ancestor before him.
Thus, despite his burning curiosity, he could only endure in silence.
"Senior, how did I come to have this fortune?" Wu Tiannan asked, his face filled with disbelief.
Li Xuan laughed lightly and replied, "Your guide on the Martial Way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present became curious.
Old Man Xiao knew that Wu Tiannan had always been searching for someone, a woman who had been his guide on the Martial Way. Wu Tiannan had wanted to ask him about her, but Old Man Xiao had thought it unlikely that he would know the person Wu Tiannan sought.
So, he had not paid it any mind.
Now, however, he had a strong premonition that the person Wu Tiannan sought was someone from the Dao Realm!
Who could it be? Old Man Xiao's mind raced as he tried to think of someone who could bestow such fortune upon Wu Tiannan.
"Could it be him?" he wondered, his thoughts landing on the figure who had been sealed away by the Great Teacher of Tai Cang.
Aside from that person, he could think of no one else with such capability.
Xu Yan and the others were aware that Wu Tiannan's guide on the Martial Way was a woman, and that Wu Tiannan had been searching for her. They had never expected that this woman would possess such an ability. If she was so powerful, how had she ended up injured and fallen into the Inner Realm?
"Could it be my sister?" Wu Tiannan asked, his face a mix of surprise and shock. "Senior, do you know where my sister is?"
As soon as he heard this, Old Man Xiao was perplexed once more.
Wu Tiannan's guide on the Martial Way was a woman, so it clearly couldn't be that person.
"Who could it be, then?" Old Man Xiao thought, his mind conjuring up images of female warriors, but none seemed to fit the bill.
Li Xuan raised his hand and pointed at the sky, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he said, "When the time comes, you will naturally meet."
Wu Tiannan's heart stirred at the thought that his sister, his guide on the Martial Way, was somewhere in the Dao Realm.
Old Man Xiao's curiosity clawed at him like a cat's paw. He racked his brains but couldn't think of a single person who matched Wu Tiannan's description and had the ability to bestow him with the energy of heaven and earth.
He wanted to ask a question, but he also felt that it would be rude to interrupt, and he didn't want to displease the Dao Ancestor. For a moment, he felt as though his curiosity was suffocating him.
Li Xuan turned his gaze upon him, a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Go ahead and ask what you want."
Old Man Xiao's curiosity was killing him.
"Thank you, Senior," he said, his heart throbbing with excitement. "I have a doubt that I hope you can clarify. In this heaven and earth, there is a female warrior who has the ability to bestow the energy of heaven and earth upon others. I do not know of anyone who possesses such capability, and I would like to seek your enlightenment on this matter."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Your doubt is understandable. The energy of heaven and earth that he carries was bestowed by a certain supreme treasure, and not by the person herself."
As soon as he heard this, Old Man Xiao paused, and then two figures appeared in his mind.
Only the master of heaven and earth could forge such a treasure that could bestow the energy of heaven and earth upon others. Without a doubt, the owner of such a treasure would have a close relationship with the Great Teacher of Tai Cang.
Among the many female warriors, only two currently fit this description.
"Could it be her?" Old Man Xiao wondered, deep in thought.
"I understand now!" Old Man Xiao bowed respectfully.
Wu Tiannan's curiosity was killing him, too. Old Man Xiao was from the Dao Realm, so he wondered if he knew his sister.
However, now was not the time to ask, and he could only temporarily suppress his urge to know.
Li Xuan had resolved Wu Tiannan's doubts and then proceeded to guide him further on his martial arts cultivation, especially in the realm of divine abilities.
After Wu Tiannan, it was Xin Mengrou's turn. She bowed respectfully and said, "I humbly request guidance from Senior as well."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
Xin Mengrou cultivated the Dream Path, and although Li Xuan had given her some vague guidance in the past, she had made some progress. However, it was clear that she had received more comprehensive guidance recently and had gained a more complete understanding of the Dream Path.
But there were still some issues.
For example, the 'True Illusionary Art' was similar to an illusion technique, but it went beyond the scope of a mere illusion and ventured into a unique path of dreams and illusions.
Li Xuan chuckled and, with a mysterious and profound tone, offered his guidance. He then pointed out some of Xin Mengrou's shortcomings in the Dream Path and provided methods to supplement and enhance her abilities.
"Thank you, Senior, for illuminating the path!" Xin Mengrou said, filled with gratitude.
Soon after, she hesitated, as if there was something else she wanted to say.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask," Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Senior, I received guidance from the Great Ta Miao, which allowed me to truly step into the Dream Path. However, the Great Ta Miao also has some concerns, and she asked me to seek your advice on her behalf..." Xin Mengrou respectfully explained.
"Go ahead and ask," Li Xuan nodded.
Ta Miao?
One of Tai Cang's followers, the master of a small world, her strength was far beyond that of an ordinary realm master.
Old Man Xiao fell into deep thought, aware that Ta Miao had been caught in a conflict of self-doubt, causing internal strife and even mutual slaughter within the Ta Miao Realm.
Could it be that she has emerged from her self-conflict?
"Yes, Senior!" Xin Mengrou took a deep breath and said, "The Great Ta Miao cultivates two supreme arts: the Ta Miao Dream Path and the Ta Miao Supreme Path. The Dream Path is elusive and enigmatic, while the Supreme Path is domineering and peerless. However, after experiencing a great battle, the Great Ta Miao fell into a conflict between these two paths..."
Ta Miao cultivated both the Dream Path and the Supreme Path. One was illusory and ethereal, full of changing illusions, while the other was overwhelmingly powerful, looking down on the world with supreme arrogance!
The contradiction between these two martial arts paths had led her into a self-conflict, or even what could be called a state of confusion and obsession! Of course, the root of all this was the great battle she had experienced, which had created this mental block, or even a mental demon.
That great battle was most likely the fight between Tai Cang and the strong cultivators from the Unchanging Temple.
"The Great Ta Miao said that during the battle, she felt helpless and unable to save her friend, nor could she provide any assistance. She felt that if her Dream Path had been stronger, she might have been able to confuse the enemy and create an opportunity for her friend to counter-attack or escape.
"However, the Great Ta Miao also felt that if her Supreme Path had been more powerful, with its unmatched battle prowess, she could have directly helped her friend withstand more attacks and perhaps join forces to achieve victory."
Xin Mengrou spoke softly, conveying Ta Miao's dilemma.
This was the source of Ta Miao's conflict—a conflict within her martial arts paths, and also a mental block. The friend she referred to was most likely Tai Cang.
Li Xuan silently pondered this in his heart.
Old Man Xiao listened quietly, his expression complex.
"Senior, this is the Great Ta Miao's problem. I humbly request your guidance," Xin Mengrou finished and bowed respectfully.
The reason Ta Miao had asked Xin Mengrou to seek guidance on her behalf was that Xin Mengrou had mentioned a profound and mysterious senior who had guided her, helping her Dream Path progress and develop her own unique path.
It was because of this that Ta Miao asked her to seek advice. Ultimately, Ta Miao's confusion remained unresolved, and despite her diminished self-conflict, she was still struggling to reconcile the Dream Path and the Supreme Path.
With her strength, the fact that she asked Xin Mengrou to seek guidance on her behalf showed that she was grasping at straws, hoping for a solution to her long-standing dilemma.
Li Xuan did not answer immediately but turned to Old Man Xiao and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
Old Man Xiao sighed, "Senior, Ta Miao's conflict stems from that battle, but the root cause lies with Teacher Tai Cang."
After a pause, he continued, "The Dream Path and the Supreme Path were both taught by Teacher Tai Cang. This is the path of Ta Miao, and her feelings for Teacher Tai Cang run deep..."
Old Man Xiao sighed with emotion and respectfully said, "She has been trapped in self-conflict for a very long time. I hope, Senior, that you can resolve her confusion."
