Yunhua has no intention of ruining the master-disciple relationship between Shi Hao and Meng Tianzheng.
As someone who has experienced this myself, Yunhua knows how to do it too, and I'm sure she can teach it.
But since there are others who can teach her, why should Yunhua bother herself...?
Chapter 1267 Becoming a Disciple of Meng Tianzheng
Furthermore, Meng Tianzheng, a pioneer who was very close to success but ultimately failed, may have more insights into this matter.
Of course, Meng Tianzheng's skills are certainly not as high as Yun Hua's. Let's just consider this fulfilling Meng Tianzheng's wish.
His path is blocked, so let him train a successful successor.
This was something Yunhua had already discussed with Meng Tianzheng.
"You're the most suitable and legitimate person to teach me," Shi Hao muttered.
"The teacher I've found for you is a true immortal, residing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," Yunhua said.
"I will teach you the method of using your own body as a seed."
Shi Hao's brow twitched, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "A True Immortal in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? A method of using one's body as a seed?"
Shi Hao became serious and looked at Yun Hua, "Brother Yun, please be sure to introduce the teacher to me."
Whether he's a true immortal or not doesn't matter. He doesn't want another powerful backer to run rampant in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The main reason is to admire the immortals and want to pay homage to the demeanor of our ancestors.
The benefits brought by the True Immortal Teacher are secondary.
Huo Ling'er, watching from the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're really shameless."
“You don’t understand.” Shi Hao said solemnly, “Although Brother Yun hasn’t told me who the teacher he found for me is, I have a feeling.”
“I am destined to walk the path of self-sacrifice, and as I walk this path, there will be someone to guide me and protect me.”
Huo Ling'er's expression clearly showed disbelief; she thought, "You're just bragging."
"Brother Yun, who is that True Immortal?" Shi Hao asked curiously, "Isn't it said that there are no True Immortals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
“It didn’t exist before, but it appeared after I ascended to the Ninth Heaven,” Yunhua said with a smile. “You’ve also met that True Immortal.”
"The Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy, Meng Tianzheng."
"The Grand Elder is a true immortal?" Huo Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.
She had been at the Heavenly God Academy for some time and was naturally aware of the prestige of the Grand Elder, Meng Tianzheng.
"Brother Yun, can you really help people enter the realm of immortality?" Shi Hao's focus was elsewhere.
"You think I'm lying?" Yunhua said.
"If someone can actually defeat you, I will indeed help him become an immortal, and I'm not just saying that casually."
"Brother Meng," Yunhua called out to the void.
"Do you want a disciple? If you do, I'll send one to you."
As soon as Yunhua finished speaking, Meng Tianzheng appeared there.
The faint aura of immortality fell upon Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, causing a certain transformation in their primordial spirit, physical body, and magical power. At the same time, their vitality increased, and their lifespan was extended.
“I naturally want this disciple,” Meng Tianzheng said with a smile, looking at Shi Hao.
"I just don't know if he would even be interested in me."
Shi Hao stood solemnly, stepped forward, and bowed. "Teacher!"
It was fate. Shi Hao had a flexible bottom line in life and changed his tune very quickly.
Meng Tianzheng shook his head at Shi Hao's address.
"I can only teach you one thing; the title of teacher is undeserved."
"As for the others, with Fellow Daoist Yun here, how could I dare to presume to teach them?"
Shi Hao shook his head, "To impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts is naturally the role of a teacher."
“What Brother Yun taught me is a different matter.”
Although Shi Hao felt that Yunhua, with her background, was already good enough for him and he didn't need any other teachers.
But since Yunhua mentioned Meng Tianzheng, there must be a reason for it. Although he was puzzled, he did not reject it.
"I observe that you have already cultivated to the pinnacle of the Heavenly God Realm, and may even have surpassed it."
"Do you have any plans for what's to come?"
"Plan?" Shi Hao thought for a moment and replied, "Strive to cultivate diligently, set a small goal first: to advance to the Supreme level before the age of thirty."
"..." Meng Tianzheng was speechless after hearing this.
"Achieving Supreme status before the age of thirty might be quite difficult," Meng Tianzheng said.
"The Supreme Realm has always been fraught with a five-hundred-year curse."
"No one has ever been able to advance to the Supreme Realm before the age of five hundred."
"Five hundred years old?" Shi Hao was taken aback. "I'm only in my early twenties now, and I'm already a Celestial God. It takes five hundred years to cultivate into a Supreme Being?"
"That's too late, I can't wait."
"These are the ironclad rules of cultivation, and no one has ever been able to break them."
Shi Hao said confidently, "That's because I wasn't born yet. Now that I'm here, all the ironclad rules will be broken."
"If I cannot cultivate to the Supreme level before the age of thirty, then I will..."
"What will you do?" Huo Ling'er asked.
"Then I'll cultivate to become a Supreme Being before I turn forty." Shi Hao was utterly shameless.
"Alright, the Supreme One is too far away, let's not talk about that for now." Meng Tian was trying to steer the conversation back on track.
"When I asked you about your future plans, I didn't mention the distant Supreme Realm, but rather the Heavenly God breaking through the Void Dao barrier."
Meng Tianzheng explained in detail, "At this step, the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have split into two paths."
"One method is to learn the ancient immortal techniques and choose an immortal seed to fuse with, which is called merging with the Dao."
"The other path is to cultivate the methods of this world, using various rare and precious materials and the essence of divine beasts to help break through the limits and overcome the heavenly barrier."
"If one can obtain something like a perfect immortal seed or the essence blood of a true dragon, both paths have unlimited potential and there is no difference in their merits."
Meng Tianzheng explained some cultivation knowledge in detail, without belittling any particular method.
“Ancient Immortal Laws, Modern Laws,” Shi Hao muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"You've only just entered the academy. Actually, after some time, the elders in the academy will talk to you about these things and let you make a choice."
"Originally, after making your choices, you were to enter the sacred ground of the ancient immortal methods—the Immortal Academy, and the sacred ground of the modern methods—the Holy Academy—to cultivate."
Shi Hao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "Doesn't that mean that the Heavenly God Academy is actually just a talent training base for the other two academies, supplying them with talent?"
The style immediately dropped.
"The other two academies are indeed more professional and have a deeper foundation in both ancient and modern methods," Meng Tianzheng said. "They can receive better training there."
"However," Meng Tianzheng added a twist.
"Now that I have become an immortal, the situation is naturally completely different."
Shi Hao understood now.
The Grand Elder has become an immortal. Although it is a secret, there must be people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who know it.
They're too busy sending their own clansmen to the Heavenly God Academy to let them leave.
Chapter 1268 Isn't this just a monkey show?
In the original storyline, most of the disciples who joined the Heavenly God Academy now will leave the Heavenly God Academy in the future and join the other two academies.
After all, the Heavenly God Academy was newly established, and although it had Meng Tianzheng, an invincible figure, its foundation was not as strong as the other two academies.
The conditions, such as the immortal seed and resources, are not as good as the other two academies, so we can only let go and let those geniuses receive better training.
But the situation is different now. With a True Immortal presiding over it, the Heavenly God Academy is practically a dimensional lowering attack; it's a supreme holy land! "So, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Shi Hao nodded. "It's just asking me to choose between the ancient immortal methods and the methods of this world!"
"If I choose to fuse with the Immortal Seed, does that mean I will embark on the path of the Ancient Immortal Methods, and all the methods I cultivated before will be completely abolished?" Shi Hao asked.
"It's not that exaggerated; it doesn't completely split the roads," Yunhua said.
"These two choices, while saying that they give you two paths, are actually two methods to advance to the Void Dao Realm."
"You broke through to the Void Dao Realm after fusing with the Immortal Seed, and you also broke through to the Void Dao Realm after refining rare and precious materials."
"Just like the immortal energy you once cultivated, that thing, strictly speaking, is a product of ancient immortal techniques."
“You have transcended all extreme realms; that is the fruit of the Dao belonging to the Dharma of this world.”
"But you are still in the Celestial God Realm, not in any particular realm of the Ancient Immortal Method, do you understand?"
"From now on, the cultivation will still be about severing the self and escaping into oneness."
"What you have seen and heard in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea should be enough for you to make a judgment."
In Yunhua's eyes, the two paths, the ancient method and the modern method, sounded mysterious, but in reality, they were just different means to advance to the Void Dao Realm.
The Chaotic Ancient Method was built on ruins and is not perfect.
This system was originally inspired by ancient immortal techniques.
Cultivating immortal energy and fusing with immortal seeds—these elements of the ancient immortal methods have, after so much time of development, begun to merge with the chaotic ancient methods.
This can already be considered an additional part of the chaotic ancient methods.
Although fusing with an immortal seed is an act of the ancient immortal method, after fusing with an immortal seed, you are still in the Void Dao Realm and still in the Chaotic Ancient System, aren't you?
There was no situation where the old foundation was abolished and a new foundation was rebuilt.
The Immortal Ancient Method and the Chaotic Ancient Method are completely different and cannot be completely distinguished by a single seed.
At this stage, you can fuse with immortal seeds or refine treasures. These two methods of breakthrough will have some differences, but not so drastic as to completely deviate from a single system. The Immortal Ancient Capital is already dead!
"That's one way to understand it," Meng Tianzheng managed to say.
He thought about it and realized that Yunhua's words did make sense.
Even if one merges with the immortal seed at this stage, it will be impossible to truly cultivate according to the ancient immortal methods in the future.
The environment simply doesn't meet the requirements. In the end, we'll still have to follow the chaotic ancient realm system.
"Fellow Daoist Yun's vision is truly exceptional, directly grasping the truth..." Meng Tianzheng thought to himself.
"I see." Shi Hao nodded. "I knew it. The difference between the ancient immortal techniques I saw in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea and the techniques of this world was extremely great."
"Then I won't choose," Shi Hao said seriously. "I want them all."
At first, he thought that once he chose one path, the other path would be blocked.
That's the logic. So what else is there to say? Immortal seeds, rare and precious materials—arrange them all.
"Brother Yun, what kind of immortal seeds or rare treasures do you have here?" Shi Hao asked with a grin.
"I don't ask for much. I think the World Tree sapling from the Ten-Crown King is pretty good. Get me one too."
"As for rare and precious materials, I think the essence of the immortal phoenix is also acceptable. Give me a few kilograms."
Yunhua smiled and replied to Shi Hao, "There's nothing there."
Shi Hao's eyes widened. "You don't have one and you still want me to choose? Isn't this just making a fool of me?"
Shi Hao was furious. They let me choose, but gave me nothing.
"Can't you be normal for once?" Yunhua couldn't help but complain.
"Why are you acting like a drama queen? Control your expressions."
"Keep an eye on him from now on. If he's putting on a show, then you deal with him." Yunhua said the last sentence to Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er instantly understood Yun Hua's meaning. This "dealing with" could mean either her dealing with it, or she could call in others to deal with Shi Hao. For example, Zhenyuan Immortal King and the other two.
