I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 388 - 315: Two Hundred Years in a Flash

In the Spirit Realm’s Peng Celestial Domain, the Gilded Roc Nest floats high in the sky, surrounded by endless golden flames and fierce winds.

Each strand of golden flame contains the Taiyang Principle, and each gale can tear apart the fleshly body of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

The core of the Roc Nest is an Ancient Phoenix Tree, its trunk cast in red gold, with countless golden buds adorning its branches. When these buds bloom, they exude pure Taiyang Spiritual Power.

Beneath the Ancient Phoenix Tree, on a platform paved with gilded crystal stones.

Elder Jin Lie reclines on a stone couch carved with the pattern of a Peng Bird spreading its wings, playing with a treasure bead imbued with Taiyang Fire. The bead emits warmth that softens the fierce winds around.

Golden Feather Demon Venerable, wearing a brand new red gold feather robe, stands at the center of the platform.

Elder Jin Lie opens his eyes, his gaze as warm as sunlight sweeping over this somewhat close-blooded descendant:

"Golden Feather, matters concerning the Human Race are not for us of the Demon Race to meddle in."

"I have inquired through Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, your two Human Race friends have not been captured and have most likely escaped the encirclement, so you need not worry."

Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s heart eases, yet he remains somewhat hesitant, bowing as he asks:

"Thank you, Elder, but... concerning the coordinates of the Celestial Abyss Realm, will Bai Chu Sect really find them? If they break in, perhaps it might..."

His words are cut off by Elder Jin Lie’s laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

Elder Jin Lie sits up from the stone couch, golden flames gently surging around him, causing the branches and leaves of the Ancient Phoenix Tree to sway slightly, shedding a few golden leaves infused with Taiyang Spiritual Power:

"You needn’t trouble yourself with matters of the world! This realm is concealed by the Celestial Abyss Dharma Master, hidden in the chaotic flow of the void, and additionally disturbed by the Four Seas Wanderer, making its trajectory constantly shift."

"Even I have difficulty pinpointing its exact location. What can mere early-stage Void Refining Cultivators, practicing only Middle Grade Dao Principles, use to locate the coordinates?"

At this point, Elder Jin Lie’s tone becomes a bit more solemn:

"Moreover, everything has its own causes and conditions. Even if others discover it, there’s nothing you can change. Focus on your cultivation."

He looks at Golden Feather Demon Venerable with a hint of appreciation:

"You attained Third Realm Perfection of the Yin Yang Dao Principle in the Celestial Abyss Realm, and did not waste the unique advantages of that realm."

Elder Jin Lie waves his hand to summon a golden jade scroll, covered with the heart techniques of the Peng Race, which flies into the hands of Golden Feather Demon Venerable:

"This is the Inference of Yin Yang Domain, created by the ancestor a few years ago especially for those practicing the Yin Yang Dao Principle in our clan. Take it and comprehend it well."

"Once you break through the Void Refining Realm, purify your bloodline, and condense your Yang Spirit, many things that confound you now will naturally resolve."

Golden Feather Demon Venerable accepts the jade scroll, bows, his eyes no longer lost but filled with determined light:

"Golden Feather understands, thank you, Elder, for your guidance! This junior will return to cultivate diligently and not disappoint the Elder’s expectations!"

Elder Jin Lie nods with satisfaction, gesturing for him to withdraw.

...

A flick of the finger, two hundred years pass, in the center of a secret realm in the Four Seas Grotto Heaven, atop an Enlightenment Platform.

Two figures sit cross-legged facing each other, surrounded by interwoven Sword Dao Spiritual Light, yet there is no trace of slaughter, only the clear resonance of Dao Principles colliding fills the void.

On the left, Chen Xihua is clad in a gray-blue Daoist robe, his features elegant, eyes slightly closed.

With each subtle movement of his fingertips, a strand of pitch-black Sword Dao Spiritual Light rises, carrying with it the patterns of void shattering, precisely his peerless "Path of Void Destruction Sword."

On the right, Chen Sheng wears a moon white martial attire, his expression calm.

He is enveloped by black and white spiritual light that sometimes blends like Tai Chi and sometimes separates like Yin and Yang, and where the light passes, even the air ripples with annihilation.

It is his creation from the fusion of penetration, Yin Yang, and annihilation, the "Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword."

"Zheng——"

Two strands of Sword Dao Spiritual Light collide at the center of the Enlightenment Platform; the black void cracks and interwoven black and white Domain of Annihilation unfold instantly, yet quietly dissipate upon touching their bodies.

Chen Xihua’s fingers move rapidly, spreading dozens of Void Sword Dao like a spider’s web, each targeting the gaps around Chen Sheng’s body.

Chen Sheng, unhurried, channels the black and white Sword Dao Spiritual Light to flow like water, dissolving the erosion of the void cracks, occasionally counterattacking, bringing the Perfection of Yin Yang Complement Each Other.

This literary sparring continues for about an hour, and when Chen Xihua unleashes a Void Sword Shadow containing the embryo of a domain, Chen Sheng finally shows a flaw.

The black and white spiritual light trembles violently, ultimately unable to fully neutralize the Sword Shadow’s erosion, forcing him back half an inch.

He sheathed his sword and stood there, the black and white spiritual light around him slowly retracting into his body, calmly saying, "Your swordsmanship is superb, Dao Brother. I lost."

Chen Xihua also dispersed the Sword Dao spiritual light, and when he opened his eyes, they were full of admiration as he looked at Chen Sheng:

"Fellow Daoist, you truly are a genius blessed by the heavens. In merely two hundred years, within such an environment, you have deduced the Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword to the Perfection of the Second Realm."

"Such progress, even when I was practicing bitterly in the Lower Realm for five hundred years, could not compete. Compared to when I broke through the Second Realm, your speed is three parts faster."

He paused for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of regret:

"If you could ponder in the Lower Realm for another thousand years, with your talent, you might truly be able to touch the threshold of the Dao Domain and step into Void Refining in one move."

At this moment, a faint Spirit Light began to rise around Chen Sheng, containing the mana fluctuations of the Mid-stage Divinity Transformation. Although it was not fierce, it was extraordinarily solid.

This was the realm he had just recently broken through.

In the face of Chen Xihua’s praise, he spoke mildly, without a trace of pride in his tone:

"It’s nothing more than being in harmony with this Path of Yin Yang Annihilation, nothing deserving of being called a genius."

His progress was entirely due to the wonders of the Yin Yang Divine Soul.

Even within the Four Seas Grotto Heaven, he could comprehend the functioning of the Small Thousand World and the Yin Yang Transformation, as if witnessing the birth and destruction of the world with his own eyes.

Additionally, blessed with the talent of a Sword Dao genius, his comprehension of the Sword Dao far surpassed ordinary people, and the combination of these two advantages naturally allowed his cultivation to progress much faster than his peers.

Moreover, within the Grotto Heaven, various Tier Five resources were abundant, allowing Chen Sheng to break through from the Early-stage to Mid-stage Divinity Transformation in two hundred years, with his Dao Principle reaching Perfection in the Second Realm!

Chen Xihua was full of emotion, looking at Fellow Daoist Life-Annihilating’s indifferent manner, secretly admiring the calmness with which he faced praise or humiliation.

Over the years, although his Path of Void Destruction Sword had already touched the Third Realm Perfection, he still had no clue on progressing further to condense the Dao Domain.

It’s no wonder, as even transforming a Middle Grade Dao Principle into Dao Domain is incredibly difficult, let alone when practicing a top level Dao Principle.

Void Refining Cultivators are called Great Powers of the Spirit Realm because the Dao Domain is a hurdle that eliminates ninety-nine percent of Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over Chen Xihua’s body, sensing the increasingly immense fluctuation of mana, and he asked:

"Has your Cultivation also reached nearly Divinity Transformation Perfection, Dao Brother?"

Speaking of his own Cultivation progress, Chen Xihua revealed a smile, and his mana spread without reservation, immediately showing the aura of Late-stage Divinity Transformation, just one step away from Perfection.

Chen Xihua laughed and said:

"Thanks to fellow Daoist’s blessings, when I was in the Lower Realm, my essence dwindled continuously. Despite exhausting all efforts, I barely reached the Mid-stage of Divinity Transformation. Once in the Upper Realm, my essence rapidly replenished, and my Cultivation skyrocketed."

"This secret realm is an excellent place for cultivation. After my Dao Principle hit a bottleneck, I devoted all my energy to mana accumulation, and in just a hundred years, I broke through to the Later-stage Divinity Transformation. In a few decades more, I will definitely touch the threshold of Divinity Transformation Perfection."

At this point, Chen Xihua’s expression turned solemn, and he leaned forward, staring intently at Chen Sheng:

"After I break through to Divinity Transformation Perfection and stabilize my realm, I will leave the Four Seas Grotto Heaven to scout a path for you."

Before he finished speaking, a semi-transparent Primordial Spirit emerged from his mouth, covered in densely packed black runes that circulated, emitting the aura of a decisive restriction.

Chen Sheng’s eyelid twitched sharply, and his gaze instantly turned serious—he recognized those runes as the most severe "Soul Shattering Restriction."

Once triggered, not only would the Primordial Spirit shatter instantly, but it would also transform into an incredibly terrifying Primordial Spirit attack, and with Chen Xihua’s depth, even a Void Refining Cultivator would not dare underestimate a desperate strike.

Chen Xihua, sensing his gaze, spoke calmly:

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. This restriction is bound to my Divine Soul. If, unfortunately, I encounter a Void Refining Cultivator like Bai Changqing, even if it costs my life, I will not expose your whereabouts, nor let the secret of the Four Seas Bead fall into the wrong hands."

Chen Sheng sighed lightly, speaking with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Why do you have to do this, Dao Brother!"

He naturally understood Chen Xihua’s concerns. Over two hundred years, although Bai Chu Sect’s ploughing searches had not affected the Four Seas Grotto Heaven, they dared not be careless in the slightest.

Fortunately, the Four Seas Bead was profound, which had sheltered them both.

"It’s the rightful thing to do."

Chen Xihua’s tone was extraordinarily firm, with a decisive gleam in his eyes:

"If it weren’t for fellow Daoist saving me with the Four Seas Bead back then, I would have already perished at the hands of Bai Chu Sect. Over the years, you have shared the secret realm for cultivation with me; this kindness cannot be repaid."

"However, we cannot hide in the Grotto Heaven forever. Sooner or later, we will have to emerge. Instead of waiting passively, I might as well go out to investigate the situation outside, so fellow Daoist has nothing to worry about for your subsequent cultivation."

He paused, adding:

"Previously, I have already sworn before my Dao Heart never to disclose the secret of the Four Seas Bead, and now, with this Soul Shattering Restriction added, everything will be assured."
