Chapter 14

"Focus on your cultivation. After you reach the Xiantian realm here, you will be sent out into the world. You can consider it as a trial, a test. As long as you can survive until the age of sixteen in the world, I will give you the opportunity to reach the pinnacle."

Zhou Tianli continued speaking to himself, his tone calm, but the domineering and unquestionable nature of his words was evident.

Dongfang Sheng remained silent, appearing very calm, but his mind was racing, analyzing all the information.

He had already completely confirmed the old man's identity and knew that his future path was basically set. He had no ability to resist, and all he could do was silently accept it and walk this path to the best of his ability.

"Alright, you should have guessed my identity by now. I am Zhou Tianli, the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect." Zhou Tianli's tone was slightly raised as he spoke clearly.

"Disciple greets the leader." Dongfang Sheng bowed and clasped his fists, his tone calm, clearly having guessed Zhou Tianli's identity beforehand.

"Ha ha ha, you are indeed extraordinary, with exceptional talent and a superior character. Very well, let me see just how far you can go." Zhou Tianli smiled, then turned serious, "Remember, from now on, you have only eight years. In eight years, our divine sect will select the next leader. At that time, it will depend on your own abilities."

"Leader, you jest. How could a mere disciple have such thoughts?" Dongfang Sheng bowed again, his lowered eyes flashing with surprise and an indescribable expression.

"Ha ha ha, what a cautious young man. But caution is a good thing, and I like you more and more." Zhou Tianli laughed heartily.

After laughing, Zhou Tianli took out a blue-covered book from his chest and threw it to Dongfang Sheng, "This is a gift from me. Remember to burn it after you have memorized it."

Dongfang Sheng caught the book, suppressing a surge of excitement, and calmly placed it in his chest, then thanked him.

"Alright, young man, for the next two years, if you want to cultivate any martial arts manuals, go to Zhou Xing and tell him. He will provide them for you. I hope we can meet again in six years." With that, Zhou Tianli turned and walked away step by step.

Suddenly, after a few steps, Zhou Tianli turned to look at Dongfang Sheng, his calmness tinged with pure curiosity, "Dongfang Sheng, what do you want the most?"

Dongfang Sheng, seeing Zhou Tianli's genuine curiosity, felt an urge to speak his mind.

At that moment, the sun was just rising, and the remaining light made it somewhat blinding. Dongfang Sheng, feeling a surge of pride and confidence, turned his gaze to the blinding sun and said softly but firmly, "What I want is only one thing: the sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!"

"The sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!" Zhou Tianli's eyes flashed with a piercing light, and he murmured in shock.

"The sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!"

"The sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!"

...

Zhou Tianli kept repeating these eight words for a long time...

"Ha ha ha ha...! Ha ha ha ha...!"

"Excellent, the sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible! Excellent, the sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!"

"Dongfang, I will be waiting on Blackwood Cliff to see how you become invincible in the east!"

Zhou Tianli laughed loudly and then used his lightness skill, disappearing in a moment.

Suppressing the surge of ambition in his heart, Dongfang Sheng turned and watched Zhou Tianli leave calmly, murmuring, "I will let you see."

Then, Dongfang Sheng continued practicing his boxing. He did not immediately read the book Zhou Tianli had given him because the information he had just received was overwhelming, and his emotions were not yet stable. He needed to calm down by practicing his boxing.

After a few rounds of boxing, Dongfang Sheng returned to his usual calm state. He took out the book and saw the four powerful characters on the blue cover: "Sun Moon Nine Transformations."

Although Dongfang Sheng's hands were not large, they were firm and strong. He gently opened the cover and read it seriously and solemnly.

Two hours later, Dongfang Sheng closed the book with both hands, his brows furrowed. The book was not very thick, but its content was profound and difficult to understand, requiring a lot of effort to memorize. The latter part was entirely memorized by rote, without understanding its meaning.

However, what Dongfang Sheng could understand was already quite satisfactory. "Sun Moon Nine Transformations" was a middle-grade Earth-level internal cultivation technique and the most advanced internal cultivation technique of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, usually only cultivated by the leader. Zhou Tianli had given it to Dongfang Sheng, clearly having high hopes for him.

"Sun Moon Nine Transformations" was divided into nine transformations, or nine levels. The first and second levels corresponded to the Houtian realm, the third and fourth levels to the initial Xiantian realm (first to third levels), the fifth and sixth levels to the middle Xiantian realm (fourth to sixth levels), the seventh and eighth levels to the late Xiantian realm (seventh to ninth levels), and the ninth level to the Master realm.

Currently, Dongfang Sheng could only initially understand the first and second levels. After organizing his thoughts, he did not start practicing immediately because the time was not right, so he continued practicing the Sun Moon Fist.

Soon, Dongfang Bai and Xue Qianxun came again, and the three of them went to eat together.

Here, Zhou Tianli had some matters to discuss with Zhou Tanzhu, and then he left, leaving Zhou Tanzhu in shock.

The leader actually valued Dongfang Sheng so much that the supply of medicinal herbs was comparable to his own, and any martial arts manuals were provided to him without conditions. Truly, truly...

To be honest, Zhou Tanzhu was a bit jealous, but he dared not disobey Zhou Tianli's orders. He could only comfort himself with sourness, thinking that being kind to Dongfang Sheng now might bring more benefits in the future.

At night, Dongfang Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, his face calm, and began his first internal cultivation.

At this moment, if someone could see inside Dongfang Sheng's body, they would see a very thin thread of internal energy emerging from the dantian and slowly moving through a meridian in a special way. There seemed to be an invisible resistance in the meridian, making it difficult for the internal energy to move forward.

However, the internal energy was very stubborn and moved forward tenaciously. This was when the benefit of high purity became evident. The higher the purity, the greater the power, and the better the effect of breaking through the resistance in the meridian.

The special way of movement also played a crucial role; otherwise, it would not be so easy.

Moreover, according to this special way of movement, the internal energy seemed to emit a suction force, drawing in a mysterious substance from the surrounding void and integrating it into itself. The entry of this substance seemed to replenish the internal energy, making it more powerful, and it continued to move forward tenaciously.

Four hours later, Dongfang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and he exhaled slowly.

Getting out of bed and standing up, Dongfang Sheng carefully felt the internal energy in his body, which had become much stronger. His mind was calm, and after four hours of cultivation, the original internal energy had doubled, which was a very good result.

However, Dongfang Sheng did not feel particularly happy because this level of strength was not worth celebrating. If it were not for the limitation on cultivation time, he would not have stopped.

If others knew that Dongfang Sheng could cultivate for four hours on his first try, they would be amazed. Cultivating internal energy requires absorbing the essence from one's spirit, which is the mysterious substance mentioned earlier.

Therefore, cultivating internal energy in the Houtian realm cannot be done for too long, as absorbing too much essence can harm the body. However, this is not a problem for disciples of major forces, as they have sufficient nutrition to replenish their essence.

More importantly, fully concentrating on cultivating internal energy is very mentally taxing. How much mental strength does a child have? They cannot last long.

Additionally, the first time internal energy moves through the meridians, it is actually opening them, which puts significant pressure on the meridians. If the pressure is too great, the meridians can be damaged, so one should not overdo it to avoid damaging the meridians.

Generally, a child can only sustain their first cultivation session for half an hour to an hour, with geniuses lasting a bit longer, and exceptional geniuses managing two hours, but rarely reaching three hours. Dongfang Sheng, however, cultivated for four hours, which is truly astonishing.

Of course, as he grows older and advances in cultivation, his cultivation time will naturally increase.

In fact, Dongfang Sheng knew why he could cultivate for four hours. His mental strength was much stronger than that of a child, and he had accumulated sufficient essence over the past two years.

The main limitation on Dongfang Sheng's cultivation was the capacity of his meridians, but he discovered that his meridians were about twice as wide as those of ordinary people, significantly increasing their capacity and even accelerating his cultivation speed.

Of course, in the future, Dongfang Sheng would discover more benefits. If his meridians were twice as wide as those of ordinary people, they would remain so at the same cultivation level, and his internal energy would be twice as much as others.

This was undoubtedly a tremendous advantage, allowing him to compete in internal energy quantity with those of higher cultivation levels.

The night passed quietly, and the next day, he woke up, practiced his boxing, and had breakfast as usual. Then, he went to Zhou Tanzhu to start learning real martial arts techniques.

He had already decided which martial arts techniques to learn. Half an hour later, he returned to his practice area with three books in his arms.

One was the Green Wave Palm, one was the Basic Sword Technique, and one was the Walking Technique.
