But the people recorded in ancient history achieved it in just a hundred years.
Such speed is truly astounding!
However, he soon became puzzled. How could a genius like this not be mentioned by anyone, only appearing in rumors?
Soon, he found the answer.
[After reaching the Eighth Realm, Yuan Xiang encountered the same problem again, unable to advance, eventually becoming a laughingstock. Unable to endure the pressure, he committed suicide before his lifespan ended, leaving only rumors. It is speculated that it might take someone stronger to help him continue progressing.]
After reading, Dong Yu finally understood why there was no widespread talk; most of the information must have been sealed.
From hearing the name Yuan Xiang, he could infer certain information.
This person was from the Yuan Family, one of the three Heavenly Venerate families of Guiyuan Star.
Only a family like this could make a Heavenly Venerate intervene, forcibly intercepting energy; such a family could also seal news, leaving only rumors.
After all, a genius committing suicide due to pressure is more disgraceful than stagnation in cultivation.
Similarly, after reading, he understood why Mr. Wang said there was no hope.
His requirements were not high; he just wanted to cultivate, even reaching the Third Realm.
But where could he find someone from the Tenth Realm to help him?
If he had considerable value, there might still be a chance, but even after reaching the Eighth Realm, the Heavenly Venerate family couldnât solve the problem.
An Eighth Realm member, although of mid-to-high status within a Heavenly Venerate family, was not essential.
How could he make a Heavenly Venerate take action at great expense?
For a moment, Dong Yu felt lost.
Was this putting him on a dead-end path?
What does the effort of these years count for?
His mind was in turmoil.
Despair welled up within him, wanting to howl in agony, but this was a library, where making noise would mean he could never return.
No, he couldnât just give up like this.
Since there was a way to solve it, he might not be entirely without hope.
Eventually, he calmed down.
After calming down, he suddenly thought of someone.
Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang was no ordinary person, wouldnât tell him these things for no reason.
Dong Yu settled his emotions and finally approached Wang Sheng, saying, "Mr. Wang, please teach me how to solve my problem."
"You think I can solve your problem; youâve seen it, thatâs a problem only the Tenth Realm can solve." Wang Sheng didnât agree immediately.
Was Dong Yuâs problem difficult to solve?
Honestly, it wasnât simple.
He had already discerned the essence of Dong Yuâs constitution, calling it the "Attached Dao Body."
This type of physique is naturally near Dao, but unlike a Taoist Body, they need to attach to the Great Dao.
Only by attaching to the Great Dao can their cultivation path be smooth.
Otherwise, like Yuan Xiang, they could only have their energy intercepted by a strong practitioner, allowing a maximum of reaching the Tenth Realm.
Therefore, the best solution still requires attachment to the Great Dao.
And how difficult is it to attach to the Great Dao?
Even a Taoist Body is merely near Dao.
Thus, the method is clear, but there are few who can solve it.
Only those who truly grasp the Great Dao can barely resolve Dong Yuâs problem.
And Wang Sheng happens to be one of those people.
He carries the Great Dao and can easily solve Dong Yuâs problem.
Allowing him to grow normally.
Even without doing this, he can learn from the Yuan Family, directly forcibly intercepting energy.
For the strong, solutions abound more than problems.
However, things easily obtained are not cherished.
Thus he neither refused nor agreed.
Dong Yu listened to Wang Shengâs response, silent for a moment, but quickly realized that Wang Sheng didnât say it couldnât be done.
"Mr. Wang, as long as the problem can be solved, Iâm willing to do anything!"
"Even destroy the world?"
As soon as he said this, Dong Yu became instantly alert.
Flowing Star?
The Flowing Star, the adversarial Devouring Sect world to Guiyuan Star, was also the first Life Planet Wang Sheng discovered upon arriving in the old place.
If it were the Devouring Sect world, he absolutely couldnât do it.
Wang Sheng naturally understood Dong Yuâs thoughts and said, "Rest assured, Iâm not a being of the Devouring Sect world; Iâm a mortal enemy of the Devouring Sect."
Easily seeing through his thoughts, Dong Yu became increasingly convinced Wang Sheng was a strong practitioner.
He didnât believe he could be deceived by such a strong person.
At this moment, Wang Sheng continued, "You donât need to destroy the world; in fact, I came here just to find you."
Wang Sheng opened his mouth.
To spread faith, you have to rely on persuasion.
"For me?"
"Yes, for you. Your physique is special; you can represent me in spreading faith."
"Spread faith?" Dong Yu recalled some information he read.
It said that among the stars, there is a special cultivation system that can enhance oneâs cultivation through faith.
Some worlds reject it, some do not.
On Guiyuan Star, as long as it doesnât exceed certain limits, Guiyuan Star doesnât interfere.
He didnât expect Mr. Wang was a "believer."
Indeed, Dong Yu understood "represent me in spreading faith" as Wang Sheng being an advanced believer of some faith, needing to find more people to help spread on Guiyuan Star.
"Can I think it over?"
"Of course, I wonât make things difficult." Wang Sheng smiled, without the slightest forcefulness.
He knew Dong Yu would surely return.
Dong Yu nodded. He didnât bother to keep reading anymore but chose to return home immediately; he needed to think.
He also noticed that despite the long exchange in the library, no one noticed anything.
Evidently, this was Mr. Wangâs handiwork.
His steps quickened, and he didnât respond to people who greeted him along the way, nor did he dare reveal anything.
Guiyuan Star doesnât prohibit faith, but the restrictions imply itâs not welcome.
The so-called non-prohibition now seemed more like a compromise.
Wang Sheng watched Dong Yu leave but wasnât concerned; instead, he continued observing and seeking targets.
...
Time passed.
The next day, Dong Yu arrived at the library early in the morning.
Upon seeing him, Wang Sheng said, "It seems youâve made your decision?"
Dong Yu nodded, "Yes, Mr. Wang, Iâve decided to agree to your request, but I hope you can heal my motherâs illness."
After returning home yesterday, seeing his mother weakened by illness, he made the decision instantly.
Why was he determined to become a cultivator if not to heal his mother?
Now the opportunity had come, how could he still hesitate?
Upon hearing Dong Yuâs request, Wang Sheng wasnât surprised; he had anticipated it.
"A small matter." He casually produced a spiritual pill, "Give it to your mother, and it will cure the illness; after that, you need to start your work!"
"Yes, Mr. Wang." Dong Yu received the spiritual pill, trembling slightly in excitement.
He had been waiting for this for so many years.
Finally, it was realized so easily!
After providing the spiritual pill, Wang Sheng also conjured up a Lifeless Sect doctrine, saying, "When you return home, thorough read and understand this doctrine, then come back to me; Iâll help you start cultivating."
Dong Yu could hardly stay still.
He nodded, promised to complete the task, then quickly left, his sole desire being to cure his motherâs illness.
Wang Sheng watched Dong Yu leave again.
Quietly activated Fate Skill.
"Indeed, destiny has changed, the fortune has started accumulating, or perhaps, his original fate was accelerated by me. Unexpectedly, meeting a Child of Destiny..."
He chose Dong Yu partly because of his unique physique.
The other reason was his extraordinary life.
This kind of life combined with a special physique, he had seen before on the Source Star; Shi Ziqin was such a person.
A definite Child of Destiny.
He had already used Fate Skill for spying, seeing that someday Dong Yu could gather fortune.
But such fortune was inadequate for him to become renowned throughout the old place.
Various conditions accumulated, prompting him to choose Dong Yu.
"Guiyuan Starâs current Child of Destiny should help things go smoothly."
Even merely Guiyuan Starâs Child of Destiny, before leaving Guiyuan Star, would find everything going very smoothly.
And he intended to borrow this east wind!
