“Victor, continue.”

Zhang Lingren seemed to have thought of something in his mind, but he was unable to comprehend it. A faint idea flashed through his mind.

Victor’s words made Zhang Lingren see a glimmer of hope.

Like a hunter in a misty forest noticing a winding road hidden near him.

“Victor, do you think that warriors like us can really do as the legends say, and achieve immortality?”

Zhang Lingren frowned and raised his doubts.

“Master, you don’t have to be too anxious. Everything has a process. Just like us warriors, we may not have known about martial arts in the beginning, but through step-by-step exploration, we finally came up with a cultivation method and started to cultivate slowly from the unrated realm.”

“Perhaps, the immortal path is the same.

“Although, in the beginning, we were unable to pry into the secrets of immortality. But through cultivation, we can inch closer to our goal step by step.”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingren’s eyes lit up.

“For example…”

“For example, the martial arts path is through the process of mental cultivation methods and cultivation of martial arts techniques to extract energy, and we call this kind of energy true inner qi.

“But master, I don’t know if you have ever thought about it before.

“Perhaps there is an energy in the universe that is different from true qi. We can call this energy the spiritual qi of the universe.

“True qi is a type of energy that is cultivated from the inside out, and there is another type of energy distributed around us.

“Since we can cultivate from the inside out, why can’t we cultivate through absorbing external energy?

“We can gather and absorb the energy that is scattered around us into our bodies, turning it into energy similar to true qi.

“This way, when we cultivate to a certain stage, we can rely on the absorption of the spiritual qi of the universe to maintain the energy that we need for our daily life.

“Presumably, if we can really do this, we will be like the legends and become true immortals.”

“The spiritual energy of the universe?”

Zhang Lingren’s body trembled as if he had thought of something unimaginable.

“Victor, is the spiritual energy of the universe that you mentioned a very active thing that exists in the universe?”

Hearing Zhang Lingren’s words, Victor was completely stunned. Could it be…

Originally, he really wanted to just give a hint and didn’t expect Zhang Lingren to be able to apprehend anything right now.

After all, it should be hard to react to the idea as the gap between the martial arts pathway and the path of immortality is tremendous.

Especially for a martial arts grandmaster like Zhang Lingren, he had to break through his current understanding and establish thoughts in a new direction.

It may sound simple, but this was pioneering research where it is required to start from scratch.

He didn’t expect Zhang Lingren to really be able to sense the mysterious and spiritual energy of the universe.

“Master, is it true? Did you sense it just now?” Victor looked at Zhang Lingren shocked.

He didn’t expect that Zhang Lingren’s talent for enlightenment was so powerful. In just a short time period, Zhang Lingren was able to comprehend the idea after listening to just a few sentences.

“A few months ago, when I was in seclusion, I suddenly sensed an inexplicable power. At that time, I too felt strange. I have never felt this kind of energy before. This energy seemed to have suddenly awakened in the universe.”

Zhang Lingren carefully recalled the scene at that time.

“A few months ago? This… could it be…”

Victor suddenly thought of something. When he seemed to have transmigrated to this world, it was about a few months back as well.

Victor’s mouth opened slightly and slowly closed, not knowing how to express his feelings.

According to the analysis of the timeline, when he came to this world, this world had already begun to change.

Therefore, even if he didn’t remind him today, Zhang Lingren would still comprehend the spiritual energy of the universe on his own in the future and walk on the path of immortality.

“Master, if you can sense the spiritual energy of the universe, then things will be much simpler.

“Next, you can think of ways to guide the spiritual energy into your body.

“Then, according to the characteristics of the spiritual energy, you can develop a cultivation method that can absorb the spiritual energy of the universe.”

Victor stood up abruptly.

If Zhang Lingren could develop such a cultivation method and as the saying goes, big trees provide great shade, Victor would benefit the most from it.

At the same time, Zhang Lingren also stood up abruptly and quickly walked towards his secret chamber.

“Victor, I have an idea that needs to be tested urgently. How about…”

“Master, do you want me to go with you?”

“If you are willing to. You can wait for me at the door of the secret chamber. If everything goes well, I will come out soon.”

Victor’s eyes lit up and he nodded.

He could use this time to download Zhang Lingren’s talent and cultivation techniques.

On the other side of the courtyard.

The six elders of Qingyun didn’t dare to interrupt the exchange between Zhang Lingren and Victor.

They could only watch helplessly as they speculated in their hearts.

“What were master and the future junior brother talking about just now?”

“I seem to have heard something about energy and spiritual energy.”

“I don’t quite understand…”

“Since everyone doesn’t understand, we can only wait for the master to come out of seclusion. Everything will be revealed then .”

“Yes, eldest senior brother is right. We just have to wait quietly.”

..

Later in the middle of the night.

Victor, who had been standing guard at Zhang Lingren’s door for three to four hours, finally heard the long-awaited system notification sound again.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully downloading the Sword Talent.”

Next was the cultivation talent, and finally the enlightenment talent.

Victor closed his eyes to rest and waited patiently.

Time passed slowly.

Early next morning, Victor, who had been standing guard for an entire day and night, finally downloaded all three of Zhang Lingren’s talents.

Looking at the dimly lit sky, Victor took a deep breath of fresh air.

“System, integrate everything!”

Since all the downloads had been completed, Victor decisively chose to absorb.

It was probably because of this time, the talents were relatively high-leveled, and there were many of them.

Along with the familiar but more intense pain, Victor’s veins were popping while he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.

Fortunately, the absorption time was fixed at ten minutes. If it was the same as the downloading process, varying according to the level of the talent downloaded, he would have probably died from the pain and pass out.

Ten minutes later.

He felt the pain disappear gradually.

Victor immediately called out his attribute panel.

Looking at his gorgeous attribute panel, even after absorbing many talents, Victor was still unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the spot, his eyes filled with anticipation, and began to experience the speed of beginner earth grade’s cultivation.
