The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Chu Yan Zhenren appeared once more, chuckling. ”Kid, I have to admit I underestimated you. To think you’d choose the path of the Extreme Dao!”

’Extreme Dao?’ Chen Dong was confused. He bowed to Chu Yan Zhenren. ”I ask for your guidance, Senior!”

Chu Yan Zhenren’s brow furrowed. ”You don’t know? You dare to walk the path of the Extreme Dao without even knowing what it is?!”

Chen Dong shook his head. ”I am just a humble Loose Cultivator, I’m not familiar with such matters.”

Chu Yan Zhenren slapped her forehead, looking utterly speechless. Still, she explained, ”The Extreme Dao is the path of the absolute limit in cultivation. Cultivation is already an act of defying heaven, which is incredibly difficult. The Extreme Dao is the most difficult path among the difficult. In ancient times, there were tales of a Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation. Normally, the tenth layer is considered complete, and from there one can break through to Foundation Establishment. But there have always been those with sky-high ambitions who wanted to surpass this limit and reach the legendary Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation. However, once they broke through to the Eleventh-Layer Qi Cultivation, they could neither find the way to the twelfth layer, nor could they break through to Foundation Establishment. They ended up trapped in the Qi Cultivation Stage for the rest of their lives.”

Chen Dong’s eyes narrowed at her words. It was true. Ever since he had broken through the Outer Appearance Limit, he had been unable to sense the Inner Realm Barrier.

”Isn’t this a dead end then? Why is it called the Extreme Dao?”

Chu Yan Zhenren chuckled. ”The Extreme Dao was originally known as the Path of Despair. However, those with exceptional talent who also possess great karmic fortune can break through to the Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation. And that’s where the other side of the Extreme Dao reveals itself: its pursuers can aim for a Transcendent-Grade Golden Core! That’s something ordinary cultivators can’t even dream of. Of course, the ordeal of forming a Transcendent-Grade Golden Core is even more difficult than reaching the Twelfth-Layer Qi Cultivation. In all my years, I’ve yet to see a single one.”

Chen Dong gave a bitter smile. ’Karmic fortune? That’s the one thing I don’t have.’

’Damn this karmic fortune!’

At that moment, the figures of Feng Wei and Mu Qingzhu also appeared in the sea of clouds.

A voice, laced with killing intent, suddenly echoed in Chen Dong’s sea of consciousness. ”You’re the one who used that Divine Sense the other day, aren’t you!”
