quietly lay dormant in Golden University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Zhang Fusheng or Shen Baobao, both had to present thirty percent more to the Great Celestial Venerate, to balance the yin and yang of all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in reality, the portion in one’s own hands was sixty-five percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mercy, mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this manner, one obtains a thousand three hundred years of refining spirit, and six hundred fifty years of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Ring Scepter struck the ground for the second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden ripples rolled incessantly, spreading into a great tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng spoke gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you fail in your ultimate leap back then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Tianbao was startled, then nodded gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During my ultimate leap, a Great Bodhisattva from my Ling Mountain lineage descended with divine punishment, severing nine hundred years of my spiritual accumulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng nodded gently, and spoke solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll return to you a thousand years of enlightenment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zen Staff struck the ground for the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Martial Arts Dojo, on the long street, Hong Tianbao, Wei Lingzhu, along with every cultist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were all pulled into the Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng skillfully controlled his own Divine Realm, his master and Wei Lingzhu appeared within a scene of seventy-two snow mountains that he had contemplated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those cultists, they were all oppressed before a gigantic divine statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This divine statue was not the statue of the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, but a newly cast Buddha statue of Zhang Fusheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to make an attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of the Buddha statue was still him, but the title on the statue was incomplete, with only two words, which were—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[World Venerate].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In myth and legend, incense and candle power can create Heaven and Earth deities from nothing—is it true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he crafted a gigantic Buddha statue in the west of the Divine Realm, using his face as the true visage, erecting a tablet for the World Venerate, then calling ninety thousand monks to bow long before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, calling also five Innates and over a thousand cultists to worship together, the Nine-Ring Scepter nailed there, none dared refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sky should soon brighten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng said thusly, and so, a great sun began to reflect within the celestial vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thousand three hundred years of refining spirit quietly merged with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a pressure that almost overwhelmed Zhang Fusheng!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time in his own Divine Realm accelerated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Zhang Fusheng allowed Hong Tianbao and Wei Lingzhu to comprehend and cultivate within the accelerated Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This directly led to him bearing the heavy weight of the spiritual worlds of both of them—contracts would not allow loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balance all things, to make up for deficiency, must diminish excess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Hong Tianbao and Wei Lingzhu gained time freely to comprehend and obtain the ’refining spirit’ technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must bear the corresponding price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s true spirit, without Divine Realm’s protection, faced directly the heavy pressure of the spiritual worlds of Hong Tianbao and Wei Lingzhu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he gritted his teeth and endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The first year, I began to hone my spirit, seeking the path to break through the second spiritual limit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I gained nothing, for this is not something the Innate Realm can fathom]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year passed within the Divine Realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Tianbao and Wei Lingzhu comprehended for a year,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burden Zhang Fusheng bore increased by a portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those five Divine Favor Envoys, along with hundreds and thousands of cultists, also prostrated, knelt, and chanted for a year before the World Venerate statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The second year...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The three hundredth year, I was still trying to seek the second spiritual limit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In this year, I meditated day and night, contemplated tens of thousands of matters, practiced various marvelous techniques; my Divine Realm grew ever stronger, yet I still could not see the second spiritual limit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred years passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some cultists had grown numb, began to be devout, but those five Innate Great Stage remain unmoved in spirit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest, Taoist Xu, had lived one or two hundred years, and was a true prodigy; the other four old Innates had lived thousands of years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritually profound, their minds are hard to erode by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The fifth hundred year, in the endless contemplation, my mind began to grow muddled, with no progress whatsoever]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng found himself struggling to bear the pressure, with a thought, he banished Wei Lingzhu from the Divine Realm, leaving only his master to continue comprehending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure suddenly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And another year passed, and another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, a white horse passing a gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Tianbao sat in the great snowy mountains, unfed, unthirsty, unhungered, and ageless; the most brilliant wave rider among his generation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now finally blooming in his own splendor, his spiritual cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The first thousand year]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My spiritual accumulation has broken through the four thousand year mark, yet breaking the great limit is still out of reach; is it really impossible to touch the second spiritual limit without a realm breakthrough into Celestial Human?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Divine Realm, aside from the five Divine Favor Envoys, the other cultists, whether they were martial artists still honing flesh and sinew,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or Martial Arts Masters refining their organs, even Directors or Upper Envoys of Great Sects,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had become deeply devout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand years have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those Innate Great Stage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their spirit profoundly thick, even facing the divine statue, facing tens of thousands of continuously chanting monk remains, still held on to their principles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devout, but not truly sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Innate Great Stage represents a prodigy who has endured countless trials, breaking the spiritual limit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other matters aside, their minds were as resilient as mountains and seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand years is nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can it extinguish that spark within the heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the seventy-two great snowy mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Tianbao sits, a body formed of a wisp of will is glowing—he has the position of a thousand-year refining spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng, however, is very tired, his figure totters, having borne the price of his master’s freely gained thousand years of cultivation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he ejected his master, who had just begun his ultimate leap, from the Divine Realm, immediately feeling relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last three hundred years passed in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The first thousand three hundred year, I could with a thought cut through a mountain, with a thought dry a great river, but I couldn’t see the limit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Four thousand three hundred years of spiritual accumulation crowns me in my realm, but why can I still not break the limit?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I don’t understand]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swiftly flowing time suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Fusheng emerged from the Divine Realm, opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xuesheng had only experienced one blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One blink, one thousand three hundred years of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon raising his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Martial Arts Dojo was now tranquil and peaceful, while outside, on the long street, over a thousand cultists were devout and sincere,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng sighed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sea of suffering is boundless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those five, though not truly sincere, but have already ’converted’ Divine Favor Envoys, softly chanted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"World Venerate above!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng smiled, glanced at his master making the ultimate leap, took a deep breath and exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All matters had been settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mercy, mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Ring Scepter swayed, the dark shadows shrouding the long street dispersed like flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of so many eyes, the young World Venerate stood in the lotus, surrounded by golden spring water, yet he suddenly began to age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he aged a hundred years, and in fifteen blinks, a thousand five hundred years, with white beard dragging on the ground, and weariness etched within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Withering and flourishing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The followers joined hands in prayer, responding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"World Venerate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha speaks of withering and flourishing in fifteen hundred years, and on that day, the five devotees wept rivers, calling World Venerate, their voices unending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Still three Chapters left, probably around eight in the evening, apologies, apologies, tomorrow will resume normal
