Chapter 541: 0351 Climbing to the Summit of Fist Theory, Inquiring about My Sincere Dao (5k)

Practice Room.

Principal Wang muttered, "Exploring Dao for three hundred years, attaining the peaks of numerous mountains... you truly have the makings of the Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist."

Wang Xian was puzzled, "Master, do you mean that this Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist itself contains some special Dao Yun?"

Lin Xia was also confused, "Master, stop being cryptic, what’s going on?"

Principal Wang said, "Back in the days when your Grandmaster taught me this fist technique, he mentioned that he condensed the process of his Dao Enlightenment into the five movements of the Mountain Lord. If someone destined is to learn this fist, they might catch a glimpse of his Dao Enlightenment process, which would be immensely beneficial for their cultivation."

Wang Xian: "? It can be played like this? I didn’t feel it at all before."

Lin Xia joked, "Looks like Little Wang and I aren’t the destined ones... Grandmaster was waiting for our junior apprentice brother."

Lu Chenzhou asked, "Master, did you not comprehend it? I thought that scene just now was you demonstrating the Dao Yun method to me."

Principal Wang said, "...I don’t have a Dao Yun method. With your perception, you don’t need my enlightenment. Your senior sister entered the Beginner stage in three days, your senior brother in two, and you in half a day. Among all the grandmasters and masters who’ve learned this fist at Dragon City Martial Arts University, you were the quickest, only matched by one Martial Arts Genius-level young grandmaster."

Lu Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, I was worried that Master’s Dao Yun method might affect your cultivation."

Lin Xia laughed heartily, "You’re too considerate, junior apprentice brother. You almost made Master cry out of emotion!"

Wang Changming glanced at her and said, "Go and handle the police station’s work, and prepare well for the next evaluation by the Lamp Master Department!"

Wang Xian asked, "Master, has the evaluation notice not been issued yet? We have no idea about the content either."

Wang Changming thought for a moment and vaguely said, "In Da Xia, any evaluation looks at two things: character and strength."

Lin Xia complained, "That sounds like you didn’t say anything... Seems like it’s a secret."

Before Old Wang could scold her, she darted away.

The way she got along with Old Wang was more like a father-daughter relationship, and Old Wang doted on her.

Wang Xian chuckled, "I also gained some Dao Yun insights thanks to junior apprentice brother, I feel inspired and gained something, so I’ll head out now."

Wang Changming said, "Wait, I need to discuss future plans with you all."

Lu Chenzhou asked, "Should we call senior sister back?"

Wang Changming said, "I’ve already talked with her. Besides, she has been a grandmaster for a while now; I don’t need to worry about her."

The apprentice brothers straightened up, waiting for their Master to speak.

Wang Changming said, "I am planning to enter seclusion for this period, which will be at least ten years. I plan to head into the Candle Realm."

Wang Xian’s expression changed slightly, "Master, have you really decided?"

The Candle Realm is not a good place.

Although Lu Chenzhou had not heard of it before, he started to worry, "Master, what exactly is the Candle Realm?"

Wang Xian explained, "A unique place where time flows differently compared to the Great Wilderness and the Three Thousand Worlds. Have you ever heard the saying ’one day in the sky, one year on earth’?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded, "In mythological tales, it’s the residence of immortals. Is there such a place in the Great Wilderness?" His face changed.

Wang Xian said, "Yes, but the Candle Realm is the opposite. If you stay there for two days, only one day passes in the outside world... It’s a place where you reduce your lifespan."

Lu Chenzhou looked at his master. Wang Changming said, "You don’t need to worry about my lifespan. As a Heavenly King, I have a lifespan of 9 Jiazi. I’ve only lived a third of my life, enough to spend some time in the Candle Realm. When you become a Lamp Master and have reached the Grandmaster stage, you might also get the qualification to enter the Candle Realm. Before entering, you must consider it carefully. Reducing lifespan is one thing, but the most important thing is that it’s hard to adapt to the confusion and loneliness brought by the different time flow. Accelerating isn’t always a good thing."

Wang Xian said, "I heard a grandmaster went mad after coming out of the Candle Realm."

Lu Chenzhou: "Temporal disarray is indeed terrifying..."

He has the Martial Arts Tree, so he wouldn’t need the Candle Realm.

Martial artists naturally have short lifespans; it’s those ancient Qi Refiners who might truly need it.

In fact, Master normally wouldn’t need it either—he just feels the crisis of civilization is approaching and wants to make further progress to protect what he loves.

Wang Changming continued,

"Not just me, but some Six Realms experts from Da Xia and All Nations will also enter the Candle Realm to seclude themselves for a while. During this time, frequent entering and exiting is not allowed, otherwise, problems might easily arise... After a year of our siege, the Demon Palace and Rashamon Ghost Country now have very few Six Realms experts left. Only some are struggling to survive in the Human World. The current situation in the Human World doesn’t need so many Heavenly Kings running around. Each generation has its own tasks. Our priority now is to make a Breakthrough Seven. Ruling the Human World will be your generation’s responsibility."

Wang Xian: "The Three Thousand Weak Water and Million Mountains’ passages, can the Demon Emperor still infiltrate?"

Wang Changming said, "Yes, but not many. The Star Palace, seeing that they can’t break through the curtain, has shifted their main force to the Three Thousand Worlds to hunt down our Absolute Peaks. With the curtain and the superweapons prepared before the Dark Night Era, the Demon Emperor doesn’t dare to come and get killed easily. The few who have been targeted by the outside Heavenly Kings also can’t create much trouble. Hence, the Dark Night Era is actually a relatively stable and safe time for human civilization. During this period, human martial arts must develop rapidly to survive the dark night and reach the dawn!"

Wang Xian: "There should still be quite a few Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings in the Human World, right? Recently, I’ve heard of many so-called ’Little Demon Kings’ emerging and causing chaos."

Little Demon Kings are rumored to be the offspring of Demon Kings and higher-level cultivators, with extraordinary talent far surpassing ordinary demons.

To be classified as a ’Little Demon King’, at least one of their six dimensions must be S-level, and they lack significant weaknesses.

Lu Chenzhou saw in the news that quite a number of Little Demon Kings were causing trouble in the wilds of the Jiangnan Region.
