In the back garden of the Princess's mansion, Wu Wei stood under the winter plum tree bathed in the cold winter sun and wind, gazing at the pale gold and gray sky in the direction of Fuxiang Tower, and said, "Master, do you think Zheng Ya will cause trouble again and accelerate his return to the Qian Yuan Continent?"
"Uh, the princess deliberately revealed the Foundation Establishment technique to him in order to delay his return to the Qian Yuan Continent. Why?" Liu Qingyun asked in surprise. Was it worth it?
The key issue is that Zheng Ya didn't appreciate it at all. He was incredibly shrewd and calculating, which is not the behavior one would expect from a young person.
The person from the upper realm had nothing to say.
Wu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Master, whether you come from the upper realm or return to the upper realm, it is all part of the integrated model."
To put it simply, it's a competitive model.
I can't talk about the restrictions of crossing realms, but upon returning to the upper realm, whoever develops supernatural abilities or reaches the Foundation Establishment stage first, and activates the Tower of Babel mark to return to the Qian Yuan Continent, will mean that all competitors will return together.
This means that those who fail to complete the interdimensional crossing mission will be left partially disabled.
The punishment for losers isn't fatal; there's even a chance to recover from the partial crippling, but it consumes a lot of resources!
"Oh no, wouldn't that be very disadvantageous for you?" Liu Qingyun trembled with shock, unable to accept this fact.
After all, Liu Qingyun was able to accept Wu Wei, the person from the upper realm who replaced the Seventh Princess, and coveted the opportunity to ascend to the upper realm with Wu Wei.
Knowing her Daoist heart, Wu Wei comforted her, saying, "That's not necessarily true."
The survival mode in the upper realm is something no one would believe if I told them. Let me use Zheng Ya and my identity in this world as examples. As a princess, my connections and power will always be a height that Zheng Ya can never reach.
Moreover, no matter how much trouble Zheng Ya causes, even if he sells high-level gene potions to seek outsiders to protect him and obtain resources for cultivation, he will find it difficult to gain the recognition of powerful families. He will only become a pawn, a thorn in someone's side, and a target of schemes and attacks.
As a princess, I command a large following. Anyone who wants to scheme against me must be cautious in their words and actions, and carefully consider their own strength and ability to bring me down before daring to make a move.
That's the difference; your competitors are always limited to those at the bottom!
"Oh, if that's the case, why would the princess bother scheming against Zheng Ya and lowering herself to curry favor with him in a deal?" Liu Qingyun wondered.
Desperate to make things difficult for Zheng Ya, they directly exposed his identity as someone from the Upper Realm and fabricated the fact that he came from the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect. This would surely provoke the wrath of powerful families, who would then hunt him down.
Then, by revealing the truth about the Foundation Establishment Technique to Zheng Ya and setting a time limit for Zheng Ya's return, Wu Wei could suppress Zheng Ya and gain time to collect cultivation resources. This might force Zheng Ya to seek help from Wu Wei and gain Zheng Ya's full support.
However, Wu Wei chose to cooperate with Zheng Ya, but was instead disliked and rejected by Zheng Ya. Why?
Wu smiled and said, "Master, you don't think that the Foundation Establishment Technique for Supernatural Abilities is similar to the cultivation methods for immortality, do you?"
"Uh, the fact that the princess asked this means that the Foundation Establishment Technique for Extraordinary Abilities is not simple?" Liu Qingyun said thoughtfully.
Wu Wei nodded slightly, plucked a plum blossom, held it to her nose and smelled its fragrance, saying, "Hmm, it's more than just extraordinary!"
The cultivation methods practiced by cultivators only require corresponding spiritual root attributes to be cultivated, which is a misguided path.
The cultivation techniques for supernatural abilities emphasize the principle of returning to the origin.
The human body's essence, energy, and spirit are: spirit, which represents the soul and includes three aspects: soul, spirit, and will; energy, which represents the elements between heaven and earth and encompasses the laws of heaven, the terrain, and human energy; and body, which represents the foundation and includes the essence, internal organs, and flesh and bones, together forming the nine foundations.
Among them, "Heavenly Laws" refers to the rules and spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Terrain refers to geographical advantages, while popularity refers to one's own special abilities.
The interaction of the nine fundamental elements of the human body is considered to result in eighty-one variations, implying endless mysteries.
If one wants to fully develop one's own special abilities and human potential, the importance of techniques is self-evident.
Therefore, if one wants to maintain the body's consistency throughout the cultivation process, without damaging normal human instincts and emotions, and to evolve and grow towards the ultimate source of longevity, then the cultivation method suitable for oneself is incomparably precious.
Each cultivation method suitable for the descendants of a family is of immeasurable value.
Those are treasures refined through the life-giving techniques of generations of ancestors. How could they possibly be something that someone as self-important as Zheng Ya could develop at will? Haha!
"Does the princess mean to offer up the knowledge of cultivation techniques for supernatural abilities, let Zheng Ya try to develop the techniques himself and hit a wall, and eventually come to the princess for help? Then the princess can easily control him?" Liu Qingyun laughed as she suddenly realized.
Wu smiled and said, "Haha, you don't know, Zheng Ya was quite the troublemaker in the previous Blue Star world, and he developed quite a few technological products."
But that's only suitable for ordinary people. No matter how many tricks you develop, they'll just be a pile of scrap metal in a world full of spiritual energy.
However, those technological inventions fostered Zheng Ya's arrogant personality, making him think he could develop supernatural cultivation techniques just like he developed technological products. It's hilarious, haha!
"Haha, I really want to see Zheng Ya smash his head against the wall and come begging the princess to give him the secret to cultivating his supernatural abilities, haha!" Liu Qingyun and her apprentice laughed heartily, treating Zheng Ya as a joke.
Zheng Ya is listening to Liu Yuan recount his experience of being forced to go to the capital to face death.
According to Liu Yuan's recollection, after returning home from exploring the secret realm, he learned that Qizhen Pavilion had been occupied by people under Prince Rong's command. Out of caution, he did not go to confront them or demand an explanation.
On the contrary, Liu Yuan was trying to find out the reason for the change of ownership of Qizhen Pavilion when he was secretly warned by a note. Liu Yuan intervened and found no information. Following the instructions on the note, he found out that Prince Rong's people were talking about the general process of the destruction of the Liu family.
The Liu family possessed a treasure for appraising artifacts: the Sky-Gazing Mirror, which attracted the covetousness and plunder of Prince Rong.
Liu Yuan was furious and launched an assassination campaign against the murderers who persecuted his family members, causing one bloody storm after another. Whenever he faced a life-threatening crisis, someone would secretly come to his rescue, which aroused Liu Yuan's suspicion that the other party had ulterior motives.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Sure enough, after Liu Yuan killed all the murderers who had harmed his family and relatives, he secretly passed a note to Liu Yan'er, telling him that she was not dead and that if he wanted to continue the Liu family line, he should take Liu Yan'er to the capital to cause trouble. Someone would then help him overthrow Prince Rong and avenge his family.
Liu Yuan lied that Liu Yan'er had escaped with her life by hiding under a formation at the bottom of a well, and went to the capital to cause trouble. When he arrived in the capital, he was indeed helped by three groups of people, and chose to start with Fuxiang Tower.
The three groups of people communicated either by passing notes or by telepathy.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Ya said with a headache, "It seems there are quite a few powerful families plotting against us in secret!"
They were openly and covertly fighting each other, using others as pawns.
Now I'm also involved in selling beginner, intermediate, and advanced spiritual root repair fluids for the immortal sects. I'm determined to maximize profits, while also plotting against others to usurp the throne and seize the opportunity to profit.
This means that crises can occur anywhere.
If you trust me, open your heart and don't resist. Allow me to probe your memories.
“Your Excellency is too kind. I have nowhere else to go but to rely on Your Excellency to protect Yan’er’s safety. If Your Excellency has any needs, please do so.” Liu Yuan mistakenly thought that Your Excellency did not trust him, so he relaxed and said.
Zheng Ya nodded and began his journey of developing supernatural abilities and cultivation techniques...
