Chapter 295: Settling the Worries Behind, a Cultivation Frenzy

Hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, Su Yu's heart jolted violently, and he stared in shock at Zhao Tianxing before him.

Su Yu truly had not expected that Zhao Tianxing was actually also an Ultimate Dao expert!

"So, do you now know why I knew of the existence of the Ultimate Dao?"

Zhao Tianxing smiled faintly, looking at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded and asked.

"Principal Zhao, lighting up ten stars means one can be called Ultimate Dao. Then what about after ten?"

Su Yu could feel that ten did not seem to be his limit, as if beyond ten, there were still stars waiting for him to light up.

Zhao Tianxing pondered for a moment, then said.

"Lighting up ten already surpasses the limits of a human and allows one to be called an Ultimate Dao expert, but in the ancient era, and even the primordial era, there were still quite a few people who lit up eleven or even more stars."

"According to records in the information left behind by the First Principal, in the ancient era there was a peerless prodigy who, at the Star Ancestor Master realm, directly lit up fifteen stars. Merely at the Star Ancestor Master realm, he already possessed combat power at the mid Bright Moon stage."

"Back then, the First Principal directly lit up thirteen at the Star Realm, and ultimately became a peak Emperor Realm expert. As for that expert who lit up fifteen stars, he ultimately even surpassed the Emperor Realm and went beyond the Myriad Races Continent."

"When I was at the Star Ancestor Master realm, although I wasn't as terrifying as those prodigies, I also lit up eleven stars, and ultimately stepped into the Bright Moon Realm."

"Moreover, according to the First Principal's conjecture, fifteen is not the limit of the Ultimate Dao. The limit of the Ultimate Dao should be beyond fifteen. But whether it is or not, no one can know, not even in the ancient era could anyone know."

"As for the primordial era, it is even less clear."

Zhao Tianxing explained.

Listening to Zhao Tianxing's explanation, waves of shock surged in Su Yu's heart.

Fifteen is not the limit, so how many is the limit?

Sixteen?

Seventeen?

Or eighteen?

Su Yu fell silent.

After a moment, Su Yu looked at Zhao Tianxing and asked.

"Principal Zhao, according to what you said, an Ultimate Dao expert's talent should be even stronger. Why are you now still merely a Marquis?"

Su Yu was somewhat puzzled.

According to what Zhao Tianxing said, walking the path of the Ultimate Dao was even more difficult than forging a Golden Arhat Body.

Such talent should be even more terrifying. With such talent, why was Zhao Tianxing merely a Marquis?

One must know, Li Zhangsheng was now already a late-stage Marquis expert.

One must know, the two were about the same age.

If judged by the talent of the Ultimate Dao, Zhao Tianxing's talent was absolutely above Li Zhangsheng's. Why was he merely on par with Li Zhangsheng?

Zhao Tianxing smiled and said, "I knew you would ask that. Prodigies who walk the path of the Ultimate Dao, while stronger in combat power and essentially having no opponents within the same realm apart from fellow Ultimate Dao experts—"

"But this also comes with a limitation. It is simply too difficult for Ultimate Dao experts to break through."

Zhao Tianxing sighed.

"For an Ultimate Dao expert to break through within the same realm, the resources required are absolutely ten times or even more than those of the same realm. For me to break through the Marquis realm, I already expended far too many resources and opportunities."

"To continue breaking through to King, I'm afraid it would be impossible without tens of thousands of high-grade Star Stones."

When saying this, Zhao Tianxing was somewhat helpless.

Tens of thousands of high-grade Star Stones might be sustainable among the Three Races, but in Daxia, it was absolutely impossible.

Tens of thousands of high-grade Star Stones—the entire Martial Artists Association might not even have that many.

Even if they did, they might not necessarily give them to Zhao Tianxing.

If Zhao Tianxing broke through, he would merely be a King. No matter how strong, he still couldn't compare to a half-Emperor expert.

It was simply a thankless effort.

Zhao Tianxing suddenly said with some pride, "If I break through to the King realm, when the time comes, the number one King of the Myriad Races might not be the Slay Dragon King!"

Zhao Tianxing had his own pride. Lighting up eleven stars, even in the ancient era, would be considered a top-tier prodigy.

Let alone now.

But Su Yu maintained an attitude of skepticism.

The Slay Dragon King had far too many secrets. Not only did he know of his father's existence, he was also the number one King of the Myriad Races.

Merely at the King realm, he was even sufficient to force back a half-Emperor expert.

Whether such a person had also walked the Ultimate Dao—Su Yu remained skeptical.

"Actually, regarding you walking the path of the Ultimate Dao, I'm not very optimistic. Although in the early stages, your resource consumption isn't too much, but once you reach the Great Sun Grand Master, or even the Marquis realm—"

"You will find that it is simply too difficult!"

"You previously forged a Golden Arhat Body, so you should be well aware that if you want to break through now, the resources consumed are already several times that of most people."

Su Yu nodded.

On this point, Zhao Tianxing was not wrong.

Lighting up ten stars himself had consumed over a hundred Supreme Star Crystals alone.

If not for the existence of his Synthesis Slot system, he wouldn't have been able to sustain it.

Su Yu himself had deeply experienced this.

"However, you are much better off than I was. Although I don't know where you got a high-grade Energy Ore Vein, just this thing alone is enough for you to cultivate up to Marquis."

Zhao Tianxing glanced down at his feet, then looked at Su Yu with a teasing expression.

Su Yu gave a sheepish grin and scratched his head.

"Alright, I've said what needed to be said. Cultivate well. In another month, the Inheritance Path will open. Inside, a major opportunity awaits you."

Zhao Tianxing stood up, patted Su Yu's shoulder, and then left the cave.

"Inheritance power? Opportunity?"

Su Yu watched Zhao Tianxing's retreating back, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Forget it, forget it; the pressing matter now is still to improve one's realm—without strength, anything said is empty talk."

With no more worries, Su Yu took out the Supreme Star Crystal again and began cultivating.

Zhao Tianxing walked out of Eleventh Peak and said to Li Zhangsheng and the others.

"Alright, alright, nothing's wrong, let's go!"

Li Zhangsheng and the others nodded slightly, following Zhao Tianxing as they left Eleventh Peak.

And the several Sequences that had been defeated returned to the Purple Robes; Zhang Xiaobei, Beichen, and Wu Ling'er then went to live on the mountain peaks among the mountains.

Following this incident, the entire Qianlong Academy was swept up in waves of cultivation fervor.

Whether newcomers, those in Red Robes, Purple Robes, or the Sequences,

all felt an immense pressure.

Under such high pressure, a cultivation craze swept through the entire Qianlong Academy.
