Chapter 1999 2000: Top Experts
Sun Wei drank wine and said, "This meat and this wine, when I think about it, I feel life hasn't been lived in vain."
Murong Liuqing frowned slightly and said, "Won't this smell attract the wild beasts outside?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I've used spiritual energy to seal this cave completely; not a trace of scent will escape."
Murong Liuqing nodded but still felt a bit hesitant inside.
At this moment, Zhang Zhenlin asked Ling Zhenfei, "Brother Ling, I'm quite curious about your goal. Is it the Traceless or an even higher realm?"
The Traceless Realm is the pinnacle for top experts in this world. After the Realm of Hearing Wisdom is the Heart Chasing, and after Heart Chasing is Traceless.
Although it looks simple, just like many people are stuck in the Mingmu Realm and cannot reach the Zhiyi Boundary even until death.
Reaching the Realm of Hearing Wisdom is already not easy, and it requires a very good innate condition, which is to go to the Foreign Land, and cultivators at the Threshold Realm like Ling Zhenfei must go to the Foreign Land.
Because in the Foreign Land, one can avoid the Heavenly Tribulation and smoothly reach the Heart Chasing Realm.
But reaching the Heart Chasing Realm is just the beginning, and what happens after that is hard to predict.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Just like the disciples of major sects such as Miss Murong, I don't even know what to cultivate after reaching the Heart Chasing Realm.
I heard that after reaching the Heart Chasing Realm, it's not just about cultivating spiritual energy, but the most important thing is the breakthrough in the mental state."
Everyone simultaneously looked at Murong Liuqing.
Among the four, Murong Liuqing is a disciple of a major sect, while Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei are disciples of great families that haven't seen someone in the Heart Chasing Realm for a long time, so naturally, they don't know how to cultivate further.
Therefore, the three of them all looked at Murong Liuqing.
Murong Liuqing said, "Cultivating spiritual energy after reaching the Heart Chasing Realm is essential, but what's even more important is refining your Heart-pursuing Item; what Ling Zhenfei said about the mental state cultivation is correct.
However, this mental state is not just your own, but also the mental state of your Heart-pursuing Item. Only when you become one with it and share the same mental state can you possibly break through to the Traceless Realm."
Murong Liuqing glanced at the three of them and said, "Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin, you both use longswords as your weapons, so when it comes to refining your Heart-pursuing Item, your swords are a suitable choice.
But Ling Zhenfei, I can't quite understand you. Sometimes you fight barehanded, sometimes with a dagger, and then there's your blade, so I think you haven't cultivated your Heart-pursuing Item at all.
You need to know that in the Heart Chasing Realm, the difference between having and not having a Heart-pursuing Item is significant, and not having one will put you at a major disadvantage."
Ling Zhenfei was a bit surprised; he had already thought about this issue for a long time, but what exactly to choose as his Heart-pursuing Item left him in hesitation.
Originally, Ling Zhenfei intended to use his Phoenix Elixir Furnace as his Heart-pursuing Item, but after learning the Boundless Blade Technique, he also thought cultivating a long blade was a good idea.
So now, just as Murong Liuqing said, Ling Zhenfei truly didn't know what choice to make.
Sun Wei said, "I didn't expect there would be so much to it; fortunately, my family has practiced swordsmanship since childhood, otherwise, it would've been really troublesome."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Above Heart Chasing is Traceless, but I wonder what's different about this Traceless Realm."
Murong Liuqing said, "The Traceless Realm is the most illusory of realms; honestly, none of us have reached that realm and no one dares to say they're certain to reach it."
Sun Wei said, "Yes, nowadays, reaching the Realm of Hearing Wisdom in our world is already quite an achievement, and Heart Chasing is even higher.
These two realms are at the top, and even if there are experts in the Traceless Realm, they are probably few and far between and generally remain secluded."
Murong Liuqing said, "My master said that in our Three Great Immortal Palaces, indeed, seniors have cultivated to the level above Traceless, the Spirit Driving Realm, but even he hasn't seen them; they are extremely mysterious."
The eyes of Ling Zhenfei and the others were filled with admiration; the Spirit Driving Realm—reaching that level is probably akin to being a god.
At this time, Zhang Zhenlin asked, "Our main forces here are in the Realm of Hearing Wisdom and a few in the Heart Chasing Realm. What realms are the cultivators in the Foreign Land?"
Murong Liuqing said, "The cultivators over there are about the same level, so the two sides are actually quite similar."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since the Foreign Land Space was discovered, the two sides have been embroiled in endless battles, and who knows when this kind of war will end."
Sun Wei asked, "Do you hope for the conflicts to end?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "How about you, don't you hope so?"
Sun Wei laughed and said, "Whether they fight or not has nothing to do with me; I'm just here to join in the fun. But when you think about it, our people go over there and claim that their stuff belongs to us—if you were them, would you agree?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Exactly, and with centuries of constant fighting among these sects, they've long become mortal enemies, so stopping it is extremely difficult."
At this time, Zhang Zhenlin flipped over the Chi Tiger leg and said, "Chef Ling, shouldn't the meat be done by now?"
Ling Zhenfei cut open a bit with a knife and said, "It's ready, you can eat now."
Inside the cave, there was a stone-made table and benches, which now became a convenient table for the four of them to drink at.
In the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, there were utensils; they took them out and began cutting pieces of meat from the tiger leg to eat.
"Delicious, truly delicious."
Sun Wei also ate while commenting, "Brother Ling, you said tiger meat is sour, but I don't taste any sourness; it's quite good."
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, thinking to himself, you don't know how much seasoning I added to avoid the sourness.
Ling Zhenfei also cut a piece of meat for Murong Liuqing, but Murong Liuqing quickly waved it off, indicating he wouldn't eat.
Ling Zhenfei didn't insist; if he doesn't want to eat, so be it—who knows what Murong Liuqing is thinking.
The three of them ate and drank with great enjoyment.
Sun Wei said, "Brother Ling, I feel like the thirty years not knowing you were a waste; now this is the life. Is there a lack of servants in your household? I'd like to follow you."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Do you need a bodyguard? Can I follow you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't need servants or bodyguards, but I do need good brothers."
The three of them happily drank, and Ling Zhenfei greatly appreciated Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin's personalities—the three could be considered birds of a feather.
Murong Liuqing had started cultivating early; the three men drank until very late, and still, they hadn't finished the large tiger leg.
Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin stopped eating only when they were completely full.
The three drank quite a bit; Ling Zhenfei told the two to rest while he stayed to cultivate.
This Spirit Mountain is filled with danger everywhere, and even though it seems safe now, who knows what the future holds.
In the current Xianling Mountain, anything could happen.
