Chapter 1019: Chapter 400: Promoted to Eight Stages Book Worm, Divine Six Yao Divination, Magic Treasure Great World_4 Chapter 1019: Chapter 400: Promoted to Eight Stages Book Worm, Divine Six Yao Divination, Magic Treasure Great World_4 The problem is that he had become a disciple of the Profound Yellow Sect, who the hell sets Foundation Establishment as their goal.
Not to mention becoming an immortal, but at the very least, one should aspire to reach the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stages, right?
After all, many of the senior brothers and sisters in the sect achieved Foundation Establishment at the age of eighteen, and even the least accomplished could do it by twenty-five or twenty-six.
But what about himself? At twenty-three, he was only at the Qi Condensation Third Level, truly a letdown when it comes to using the cultivation resources the sect had bestowed upon him.
He felt like a little white rabbit that had mistakenly entered a pack of fearsome tigers.
Standing out like a sore thumb among so many academic stars, he was the underperformer in elementary school.
Every assessment saw him ranking last—wasn’t that conspicuously shameful?!
Truth be told, due to his lackluster cultivation, quite a few fellow brothers and sisters had started to doubt his identity, wondering if he was the Sect Master’s illegitimate child, and that was the only reason he could join the Profound Yellow Sect.
He wished the rumors were true, but they weren’t— he really didn’t have such a background.
“If things continue like this, might I become the first disciple to be expelled from the Profound Yellow Sect?”
“Expelled for poor aptitude, a rotten wood that cannot be carved.”
Xu Wenze felt somewhat anxious.
Although he thought it was impossible, considering the long history of the Profound Yellow Sect—unless a disciple made a grave mistake, they would not be expelled from the sect.
But if things kept going like this, it might not be so impossible after all.
He even felt that the elders in the sect looked at him strangely, as if they thought there had been a mistake with the stele, thus allowing him, a fish that slipped through the net, to appear.
Honestly speaking, his skin was thick.
If the sect did not speak up, he would cling shamelessly and stay in the Profound Yellow Sect.
Who doesn’t know that it’s pleasant to enjoy the cool under a big tree?
The status of a disciple of the Profound Yellow Sect, if flaunted outside, was akin to a Territory Magistrate.
Fawned upon by innumerable cultivators.
Even those practitioners with mightier cultivation dared not say anything against him, all of them deferential and obedient.
Mere identity alone was like being the crown prince of a dynasty.
Various invisible benefits were simply too numerous to count.
“But what exactly is going on with my cultivation?”
“Although my Spiritual Root Aptitude is only Third-Grade, it is still an Upper Grade Spiritual Root.”
“With the assistance of various Spiritual Medicines and Pills, and years of bitter cultivation, there’s no way I should only be at the Qi Condensation Third Level.”
“Why do I feel like when I cultivate, something seems to be slowing down my progress?”
Xu Wenze felt that there must be a problem with his body; otherwise, he wouldn’t be facing such a situation.
In fact, he had sought help from many elders, but none could detect any issues.
As for meeting the Sect Master, he had not had that honor.
After all, he was just a lowly Qi Cultivation Stage disciple, so how could he qualify to meet the Master of the Sect?
It was difficult enough for ordinary elders to see the Sect Master, let alone him.
Therefore, he had to rely on himself to solve everything.
“Shut up, you little brat.”
“I’ve merely taken a little bit of your spiritual energy, and you’re whining about it here.”
“Do you have any idea how fortunate you are to have encountered me in your lifetime?”
Just at that moment, an ancient voice resounded from the depths of Xu Wenze’s Sea of Consciousness. Although it sounded extremely weak, it tormented him with arrogant commands, as if the voice was used to being in control.
Through the haze, he seemed to see a massive pill furnace appearing deep within his Dantian Qi Sea, covered with dense and ancient runes that held unfathomable power.
It felt as though a simple movement could unleash endless flames, incinerating everything.
It seemed to be a colossal divine furnace.
But the divine furnace seemed to be in a damaged state, covered in myriad cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment, completely fall apart.
“What are you, and why are you inside my body?”
“Could it be that the problem with my cultivation is all your doing?”
Xu Wenze was flabbergasted, unaware of how such a treasure had appeared within his body.
He was no fool and quickly connected it with his slow cultivation progress.
Without a doubt, it was this bizarre divine furnace deep inside him that was causing the issue.
That explained the sluggish pace of his cultivation.
“Yes, it was I who played the trick,” the voice admitted.
“I am the Immortal Tool, Great Subtlety Divine Furnace, and encountering me is the greatest fortune of your life.”
“Now bow down and worship me.”
“If you can please me, perhaps you have a chance at immortality in this lifetime.”
The voice claimed to be the Immortal tool, Great Subtlety Divine Furnace.
“So it was you causing all the trouble.”
“I’ll report this to the sect and have you fished out immediately.”
Xu Wenze gritted his teeth in fury, nearly driven mad.
He had almost come to mistakenly believe that he was a complete and utter failure; given his poor aptitude, he simply could not match those monstrous prodigies, and now there was this bizarre object within him obstructing his cultivation, which was simply outrageous.
He wanted to take action right away, to seek an elder of the sect and address the hidden danger within his body.
“Stop, you fool,” the voice chided him.
“If you expose me, you’ll gain nothing good out of it.”
“I am bound to your soul.”
“If you act rashly, I’ll ensure we both perish together.”
The Great Subtlety Divine Furnace was taken aback, having not expected this kid to be so rash and unpredictable.
Usually, after acquiring an immortal treasure like itself, wouldn’t one be over the moon and keep it a complete secret?
But this kid was another story altogether.
