Chapter 647: Where Does the Name Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun Come From

"... The tribulation of life-span decline, where life-span instantly withers and death looms—do not fear; this is part of rebirth..."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun spoke confidently amidst the crowd.

Countless Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun held their breath, listening intently without blinking an eye, fearing they might miss anything.

Jiang Ding, on the periphery like an auditor, settled his mind and listened to the lecture seriously.

Nothing unexpected: Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun seemed unorthodox, and in practice, he was equally unorthodox, landing in prison every other day.

Yet in scholarship, he was extremely rigorous; his exposition began with the principles of breaking through Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, like an infant tearing through its amniotic sac to grow robust, then progressing layer by layer, spreading into every aspect.

It was clear he was not skilled at teaching; many parts were rather stiff, failing to fully account for the audience's knowledge base and comprehension ability.

Jiang Ding and many early-stage Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun did not understand many points; in this regard, he fell short of those who had long cultivated in the field of education, such as Master Master Dinghai, Lu Ling Master Dinghai Zhenjun, and Lie Xing Master Dinghai Zhenjun, as there was no targeted explanation.

But in the depth of knowledge, he far surpassed them.

Jiang Ding and the others could only take notes, planning to ask questions later, either waiting until the end or approaching any available Canghai Tianjun at random.

The Canghai Tianjun's exposition lasted a full six months.

Throughout, the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun remained motionless like frozen puppets, sweat dripping from their foreheads, white smoke rising from their crowns, their Shen Hun He Fa operating at maximum speed.

Within the sea of consciousness, myriad thoughts were born and perished, working under overload.

At this moment, they were completely undefended; even a three-year-old child could come and knock them down one by one.

Not only them, but beyond the clouds, numerous Canghai Tianjun were also listening silently; the reason they did not reveal their forms was the same thought as Jiang Ding's: they believed the 'protagonists' of this lecture were the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun, so they did not overshadow the main event, giving them the best possible learning environment without causing interference.

"... Thus, one can pass the tribulation of wind, fire, life-span, and decline, and thereafter face the Six Paths Heavenly Tribulation, allowing the already transformed Shen Hun He Fa to undergo further tempering."

"In this way, Soul Transformation is achieved."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said carelessly.

"Have the little ones understood? Ask quickly if you do not."

"We thank you, senior Master Canghai!"

Without any need for guidance, the multitude of Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun rose together to thank the yellow-haired youth at the center.

Just as in many past years, the gesture toward a teacher came naturally.

"Senior Master Canghai, your Dao title is 'Master Canghai' because you summarized a complete set of combat methods specifically against sword cultivators, thereby greatly reversing the declining situation on the battlefield of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion back then."

"This was the key event in your attainment of the Dao; may you explain it to us?"

Then, without any hesitation, Lu Ling Master Dinghai Zhenjun asked first.

In his view, Master Canghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun passing the Soul Transformation bottleneck so easily was closely related to his experiences in his youth, rather than having learned some divine art or secret manual at the last moment or obtained some great opportunity.

Opportunities for Soul Transformation were at most merely a trigger.

'Master Canghai...'

Jiang Ding's face darkened.

He felt he was being severely targeted.

"Haha!"

"Little Professor Yu Chi is excellent!"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was struck right in the heart and was extremely pleased: "Actually, summarizing combat methods is ordinary; many can do it, but truly implementing them is often inadequate; the gap between theory and reality is vast."

"My success back then relied mainly on this."

He opened his palm, revealing a vortex of dark gray ash, within which a thread of scorching red and sharp sword light flickered.

Jiang Ding stared at this dark gray vortex; somehow, alarms kept sounding in his heart, giving him a sense of being locked onto.

Faint and elusive.

Yet it appeared from time to time, and its source could not be determined for a while.

"The Sun-Breath Sky-Chasing Soul-Locking Art!"

"Back then, I had great fortune; by chance, I discovered the original structure of this technique, greatly enhancing our ability to perceive sword cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, granting us more strategic maneuvering space."

"Unfortunately, the technique is extremely difficult, draining both heart and strength, and can only lock onto sword cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion; nowadays, it has become a dragon-slaying skill, and very few people know it now."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun expressed no small regret.

"My future direction should be this: joining the research and improvement of this technique, striving to lock onto higher-level enemies of the Badaxian Sect."

The Sun-Breath Sky-Chasing Soul-Locking Art!

Jiang Ding's eyes suddenly lit up.

This technique was very useful to him; because it was too obscure, he had never noticed it before.

In this realm of the Immortal Gates, there is no aura of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, so the technique is useless.

Many sages have already turned this place over countless times; let alone people, even items related to the Great Sun Sword Pavilion have been completely collected.

But in the Northern Plains, it still has great use!

Not to mention locking onto and tracking in advance; even early warning alone could raise his safety significantly.

"Back then, during the development of the Sun-Breath Sky-Chasing Soul-Locking Art, and in battles against the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, my Shen Hun He Fa were tempered; my character and experience were likewise tempered; I believe this was the main reason."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun looked around at the Nascent Soul cultivators: "You juniors should think more in this regard, learn more, think more, do more, and follow your true heart, moving forward without hesitation."

"Do not worry about anything, do not hesitate about anything; I walk openly in the world; no matter how many heart demons try to deceive me, what can they do to me?"

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators vaguely gained some understanding.

"Senior Master Canghai, may you share the secrets of Shen Hun tempering? I am lacking in this aspect."

Without a moment's delay, another Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun immediately asked a question.

"Secrets? Only Shen Hun secret arts, heavenly treasures, and experience; if all else fails, go fight a bloody battle..."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said casually.

Not just this one person; he had opened hundreds of threads in total, simultaneously accepting questions from Nascent Soul cultivators on all sides; each thread was labeled with highly specialized tags such as 'Shen Hun Tempering', 'Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation', 'Tempering Magic Power', and 'Heart Demons'; the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun each chose the thread that interested them to attend the class.

Of course, some split into several divided souls to attend classes simultaneously, but that was the limit; only a peak Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve this.

Because when Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun expounds the Dao, even a single phrase contains vast knowledge; with too many split souls, one simply cannot comprehend it, let alone record it.

Fortunately, the Immortal Sect applied for the Central Array Spirit Computer to assist, allowing the lectures to be recorded and watched repeatedly.

The lecture lasted six months,

and the Q&A session lasted another six months.

With hundreds of avatars, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun accepted questions from Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun from all sides without pause for half a year; the massive flow of information streamed through multiple threads simultaneously. Even with a Canghai Tianjun's powerful divine soul, it made his eyes spin with stars and his ears ring incessantly.

"Very well, those you do not understand will be discussed later."

"I have other matters; I shall leave first."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun waved his hand, his escape light turned, and he sped away like a streak of smoke toward the distance.

Judging by the direction, it was toward the Immortal Capital's First Prison.

He knew the way so well that even with his eyes spinning with stars and ears ringing incessantly, he could pinpoint the location precisely, absolutely able to step in right on time without being a second late.

"Respectfully see you off,"

"Senior Master Canghai!"

Behind, countless Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun bowed deeply in salute, sending the Canghai Tianjun off in the distance with their gaze.

Yu Yu Qianzi's heart trembled, filled with complex, indescribable feelings.
