Chapter 1: Whose Scenery is Whose!

  When he came back to his senses, Ye Xuan was once again in the secret room.

  That black-robed old man with a divine aura stood in the secret chamber with his hands behind his back.

  "Little guy, you're here again!" The old man in black robes said with a smile.

  "Nice to meet you, senior!" Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

  "Speak, come here, what's the matter?" The old man in black robe shook his head and said.

  Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit awkward and said, "It's nothing important anyway!"

  "Hey kiddo, it's not a good habit to disturb an old man's sleep!" The black-robed elder yawned and raised an eyebrow, then turned to Ye Xuan and said: "However, I must say that you young fellow still haven't made any progress in your spiritual awareness after all this time. Let me tell you, spiritual awareness is the key to the Great Way, and you must cultivate it diligently. Once you reach the third stage and condense a divine spirit, oh my, that's when things get really powerful!"

  Ye Xuan smiled wryly and said: "This divine sense method of mine is really not up to par, how about senior giving junior a divine sense cultivation method?"

  He broke through the middle of the solid yuan, and logically speaking, he shouldn't have come to this secret room.

  And he still came to this secret room, naturally there is his reason.

  This divine black-robed old man is obviously not an ordinary person. His original body before his death dared to call himself Emperor, and like the Tianbai Emperor of the Tianbai Emperor Kingdom, he also called himself a 'Cloud Emperor'. How could it be worse than that?

  How could this black-robed old man be simple?

  The old man in black robes narrowed his eyes and sized up Ye Xuan, clicking his tongue: "I thought you little scoundrel was just running to me for no reason, but it turns out you had a good idea, wanting to get some divine sense cultivation methods from me. Heh heh, not impossible!"

  "So that's it, senior is willing to agree?" Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

  The old man in black robes chuckled and said, "You are the successor of the Cloud Emperor, so it's only natural that I pass on to you the Mind Seal technique. Back then, my true body left me here not just to guard, but mainly to pass on the Mind Seal technique to the successor. Hehe, with me around, you won't have to worry about cultivating your mind seal anymore!"

  Ye Xuan blinked his eyes.

  So fierce?

  The black-robed old man seemed to have seen through Ye Xuan's thoughts and said somewhat angrily, "Don't you know who I am? In the past, Yun Emperor was able to condense me, which means that Yun Emperor's divine consciousness has already reached the fourth stage. The divine consciousness condensed into a human form requires at least the third stage, but my kind of divine being is even more extraordinary, reaching the fourth stage!"

  "That year, Yun Emperor cultivated his divine consciousness and had already reached the fourth stage. I was in control of all the divine consciousness powers of my main body. All the methods of cultivating divine consciousness that my main body possessed were in my mind, and I could also cultivate my own divine consciousness. You say, with me here, what divine consciousness technique do you still need?"

  "But—"

  The old man in black robes stared with his eyes wide open and said, "Your divine sense is indeed too elusive to deal with. If you had cultivated your divine sense to the first stage, where it begins to take shape and condense into a needle, spreading out into a domain... I still have some methods of divine sense cultivation that I could pass on to you, but your divine sense hasn't even reached the first stage, so even if I wanted to teach you some methods of divine sense cultivation, there's no way for me to do so!"

  "Then I'll cultivate it. With your guidance, Senior, and with your pointers, my divine sense will condense into a needle, and it won't be difficult!" Ye Xuan smiled and said.

  "Oh!"

  The old man in black nodded and said, "This method is not bad, first put your divine consciousness into the first stage, otherwise, my skills will be passed on!"

  "Right!" Ye Xuan suddenly remembered something and his eyes showed some doubt, saying: "Senior, you said that the formation of a divine sense can become a divine lord, but can a divine lord also cultivate itself?"

  Does God cultivate himself?

  It's really too frightening to hear!

  "Right!" The old man in black robe proudly stroked his small beard and said, "When my main body condensed me out back then, it threw me into a place and let me cultivate my divine sense on my own. After that, I did other things and waited for some time to pass before coming back. By then, I had cultivated my divine sense even further!"

  "So fierce!" Ye Xuan's eyes widened.

  That way, I don't know how much effort was saved.

  "Haha, the higher you climb on the path of cultivation, the more benefits you'll gain. However, one must not be too self-satisfied." The old man in black robes shook his head.

  "Self-satisfaction?" Ye Xuan was puzzled and didn't know why the old man in black was talking about this.

  The deity sighed: "In those years, the original body was too proud. After declaring himself emperor, he became invincible and thought that this world could be easily obtained. However, in the end, he fell to a tragic demise. If not for the original body being reminded by a Tianji Daoist, who predicted some dangers and left behind this legacy before leaving, I'm afraid you wouldn't have made it here today!"

  The old man in black robes spoke with a voice full of endless years of vicissitudes.

  Ye Xuan heard this and furrowed his brow.

  "Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. You're still young and your cultivation is low, knowing too much won't do you any good. However, I think your temperament is quite good, it's just that you value stability above all else. Having this quality is truly rare!" The old man in black robes shook his head and let out a long sigh.

  He said Ye Xuan Gui was a steady word, and it wasn't entirely nonsense either.

  To know, Ye Xuan has been studying medicine since primary school and has achieved some success. The most important thing is a word: stability.

  Even if your medical skills are superb, if your heart is not calm and your soul is not peaceful, it will be difficult to achieve great things in the field of medicine. In fact, there is even a risk that you may not heal people, but instead harm them or even cause their death.

  It can be said that Ye Xuan's calm and composed nature, always keeping his heart as still as water, is also due to a crucial aspect of being a doctor. At least when he treats patients and saves lives, his eyebrows won't furrow once, nor will his eyes blink once, because if you have even a hint of distraction, it's murder, not medicine!!

  Ye Xuan still clearly remembered how his grandfather had taught him when he was a young boy learning medicine.

  The Way of Medicine

  One careless mistake and the person being treated will lose their life at your own hands!

  How can one be slack?

  If it weren't for the refinement of those years, how would there be today's medical skills?

  "Right, you've come this time to have me guide your cultivation of spiritual awareness?" The black-robed elder smiled slightly, feeling that things weren't so simple.

  "That's not true!" Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head.

  At this point, he naturally could no longer avoid telling the truth.

  "To be honest, I came here this time with the intention of breaking through to the mid-term of the Solid Origin!" Ye Xuan said.

  "Mid-term consolidation!"

  The old man in black heard this, and his eyes widened immediately. "Youngster," he said, "I'll tell you that cultivating the Tao is to be avoided being too impatient and impulsive. I just praised your temperament, which is most valuable for its stability. Now you're about to rush into the middle stage of solid foundation. Let me ask you, how long did it take you to enter the early stage of solid foundation? You haven't even finished writing the eight characters yet. Wait until you have a good grasp before breaking through - it's not too late!"

  "This... junior is confident, so he dared to make a move!" Ye Xuan said with a wry smile.

  "What?!"

  The old man in black was startled and said, "Are you sure you can break through to the middle stage of the Solid Origin?"

  "Junior has the fluorescent pill!" Ye Xuan said, and then took out the fluorescent pill.

  Upon seeing the fluorescent pill, the black-robed elder finally relaxed and said: "So you young man have a medicinal pill to assist you. However, I must remind you that relying on medicinal pills for assistance is not a good thing. Although it may be beneficial for advancing in rank, once or twice is fine, but you can't completely rely on medicinal pills to advance!"

  "Understood!"

  Ye Xuan understood in his heart.

  He also heard his grandfather say it when he was young.

  This is the same as his treatment of diseases, a doctor saving people cannot completely rely on medical treasures, and it is most important to study medicine diligently.

  "Alright, I won't disturb you either. You focus on breaking through to the middle stage of the Solid Origin first, and we'll discuss the matter of divine consciousness afterwards!" The black-robed elder waved his hand.

  "Yes!" Ye Xuan replied.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he truly moved his energy and the faintly glowing fluorescent pill flew up, a fragrance entered his nose, and in the next moment, it was swallowed into Ye Xuan's abdomen. The medicinal power of the fluorescent pill instantly surged into his body, sweeping through the major veins, and the signs of impacting the solid yuan middle stage appeared instantly!

  "So fast!"

  Ye Xuan took a deep breath.

  It was just a blink of an eye and he had signs of breaking through the mid-term solid yuan.

  He hastily closed his eyes.

  Ready——

  Breakthrough!

  Apart from Huáng Fāng Dān, he also has a large amount of Mò Dān to assist him. Entering the mid-term of Gù Yuán, it can be said that it's a sure thing with a 90% chance of success.

  Time flies.

  One day.

  Not a sound was heard.

  Two days passed without any news.

  The old man in black robes leaned against the wall, narrowing his eyes and snoring away. Although he didn't need to sleep, it was now his greatest pleasure.

  As for walking out of this secret room, I have never dared to think about it.

  When he was sleeping, he would occasionally rub his nose and feel that the surrounding area had a slight movement of true energy.

  Just as I was sleeping soundly——

  A loud and powerful sound suddenly burst into the air.

  The old man in black robes suddenly opened his eyes.

  "Doesn't he know that disturbing an elderly person's sleep is a very bad habit?!"

  But at the next moment, he remembered that Ye Xuan was still in the midst of advancing.
