Stronger from Earth

Chapter 237 236: A Teacher's Grace

Overall, He Fang treats his disciples well; he never meddles in small matters, allowing them to handle those themselves, while he makes the decisions on big matters, providing guidance and oversight to ensure they do not stray from the right path.

Di Xuan, with his immortal flesh and jade bones, achieves anything effortlessly in cultivation, coupled with the powerful physique transformed by the exotic stone; his combat power is obvious.

Watching Di Xuan's unimaginable fortune at the Earth Immortal level, He Fang couldn't help but be surprised. This clone has developed a portion of its own fortune, which will become stronger, but most of it comes from the Mother Star's affection.

"Qi, you have received the strongest fortune of the Earth Immortal, and part of this external fortune will transform into your own fortune, enhancing your cultivation talent.

If you can stay longer, don't rush to break through; it will be beneficial for you."

He saw clearly the strength of his disciple's clone, which had actually seized the first fortune of the same realm.

In a realm with so many cultivators, only one can achieve such success, showing how glorious it is. With the disciple's success, of course, as a master, he naturally feels proud.

"Disciple understands." Di Xuan said.

Only then did he realize that his previous self's strength wasn't the strongest in the same realm; from body refining to Human Immortal and then to Earth Immortal, talent had improved bit by bit, cultivating multiple techniques.

Unfortunately, he hadn't reached the strongest point in the same realm so hadn't received such fortune. The Mother Star's prodigies, those top demons, were indeed strong, as can be seen.

In the past, he underestimated the people of the world.

"Hehe." He Fang chuckled, "I suddenly remembered, the strongest person in Earth Immortal used to be at Precious Light Temple; I wonder if you'll encounter them this time."

Wang Xuan came out from that Life Planet and without challenging the Demon Subduing Arhat had obtained the strongest title of Earth Immortal, which presumably means his strength surpassed the opponent's, and He Fang felt assured about this point.

Di Xuan's lips curled slightly: "This disciple wants to see what kind of charisma the previous strongest Earth Immortal possesses." What he wants more is to know how strong he is.

He Fang left, temporarily not knowing what he went to do; Di Xuan returned to Black and White Mountain to wait, and soon Starship Zero came back.

"Steward, put these remnants of Celestial Treasures into the warehouse." Di Xuan's authority was evident, and the steward could not remain as composed as before.

Comparatively, his previous self once deliberately remained serene, calming his disposition to suppress the violent aura. The clone, like a favored child of heaven, has been growing freely and arrogantly till today, arrogance entrenched in his bones, and dominance self-borne.

The clone is the way Wang Xuan thinks he should be; had it not been for the setback twelve years ago, his disposition should have been this way.

This personality creates a distance between Di Xuan and some people; he and Wang Xuan are one, but their lives are different, and he does not wish to intersect too much with the original self's life.

Di Xuan's uninhibited arrogance made Chun Shui and Qiushui, the two sisters, somewhat apprehensive; they felt the Mountain Lord was too imposing, making them afraid to approach.

"I am myself, yet not myself; see you in the future." Di Xuan voluntarily distanced himself from these people.

If he casually did something, the original self might not be happy, because although their memories are the same, the way of doing things differed greatly.

Holding the Mountain-Throwing Seal in his hand, it kept expanding; Di Xuan stood on the back of the Dominator, which couldn't move at all now, almost stiffening up.

"Too… too heavy." The Golden Turtle rolled its eyes; it is the Dragon Species Dominator, famed for its formidable strength, yet this time it couldn't bear it, and was almost crushed into pulp.

Di Xuan said indifferently, "It's you who are too weak."

He was floating in the air, supporting the Mountain-Throwing Seal with one hand. In no time, the Mountain-Throwing Seal transformed into a mountain thousands of meters high, rising and falling with Di Xuan's breathing.

Sensing the intensity of his own power, Di Xuan's tendons and bones felt some pressure; if the Mountain-Throwing Seal fell now, Black and White Mountain would be flattened.

After half an hour, he put away the Mountain-Throwing Seal, this small exercise allowed him to relieve some of the tension in his tendons and bones.

In the Spiritual Bamboo forest, the black and white giant panda Xiong Bamboo shrank away without a sound, likely afraid of disrespecting Wang Xuan in the future.

"I better behave properly, or if the Mountain Lord is displeased and kills me for food, that would be bad." Xiong Bamboo felt uneasy.

Another half hour passed, He Fang returned. He tossed Wang Xuan a palm-sized piece of jade armor and gave him a black jade.

"This set of armor is Primordial Spirit Soldier; your Yin Spirit can wear it to resist attacks from Primordial Spirit power, which is beneficial to cultivation.

Besides defense, it can also block others from probing your aura, hiding your cultivation level.

Most Star Lords would find it hard to notice your extraordinary talent or link you to your original self, unless they specifically look into it.

Knowing that you'll be frequently out in the future, I specially requested these items from your grandmaster for your convenience when traveling.

Additionally, the black jade is etched with a Transformation Technique, one of the Thirty-Six Transformations, allowing you to change appearance and form at will, similar to humans; it originated from the Assassin Emperor's hands and is very useful for concealment.

With these two items, you can roam freely outside."

He Fang indeed cares for this disciple, fully considerate towards Wang Xuan, worrying about inconveniences while outside, even humbled himself to acquire these two treasures.

Di Xuan offered a grand gesture, sincerely saying, "Master's grace, disciple feels at fault."

"Pay attention to safety in the future." He Fang instructed.

He also took out a piece of metal the size of a mountain top; amidst the burning Immortal Fire, it was refined into a two-meter-long, arm-thick rod, which he handed to Di Xuan: "Your physique is unmatched, and your strength is tremendous, so nimble weapons are not suitable. As your master, I gift you this staff."

Di Xuan took it, slightly weighing it down; he could immediately tell it had a horrifying weight, at least a thousand tons, similar to a mountain over a kilometer tall.

Infusing magical power, the weight of this staff could keep increasing, its limit unimaginable, matching his unparalleled strength, capable of directly smashing enemies to pieces.

"What a weapon." With a wave, the air around Di Xuan instantly cleared, forming a vacuum.

With a pair of talent divine power eyes, what He Fang is in his view is no longer flesh, but an incomparably terrifying energy mass, like a compressed human-shaped star, or a black hole, swallowing everything around it.

A Super Star Position Star Lord, if they wished to break through, could quickly leap several minor levels, with a lifetime hopeful to achieve immortality; He Fang is among the few unmatched in the Star Lord Realm.

Precious Light Temple is located in the Northern Land, Immortal Martial Mountain in the Shu Region, and Celestial Sword Mountain in the southeast. Historically, the Shu Region is known for Sword Immortals, but Martial Immortals occupied the Shu Region, establishing the Holy Land early on with greater strength, and no one had objections.

With a single step spanning tens of thousands of miles, He Fang and Di Xuan arrived at Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, where Universal Relief Bodhisattva soon came to greet them; being of the same generation, he extended due respect.

Universal Relief glanced at Di Xuan, noticing quite a change in aura compared to months ago, becoming more sharp and dominating, wanting to observe further, but realized He Fang's aura had long enveloped them, blocking others' probing.

"Fellow Daoist comes with some business, not merely to chat, I suppose?" Universal Relief laughed; at their level, movements are rare as time is precious, focusing on grand matters.

He Fang nodded, saying, "Wang Xuan wishes to tread the path of faith, lacking suitable Dharma Gates, hence I brought him here to seek your aid."

The three entered the secret realm space of Precious Light Temple; a large sphere with a diameter of several thousand kilometers was in a special space where many Buddhist sects had their sanctuaries, achieving tranquility.

Wuyou Temple was peaceful, making one feel relaxed and happy, the wind softly rustled, whispers of nature.

Universal Relief raised his eyebrows slightly, saying: "Shouldn't Wang Xuan inherit the Dao system of your Immortal Martial Mountain? Isn't treading the path of faith…"

He Fang waved his hand: "It's fine, he has cultivated an External Incarnation, and this corporeal body wishes to follow the path of faith, while his original self remains true to Immortal Martial orthodoxy."

Universal Relief nodded in understanding, having an External Incarnation isn't usually widespread, often the clone can handle some matters that the original self is inconvenient to manage, also it's safer.

In fact, the people of the Buddhist sect have the most Dharma Body incarnations; it appears there are several Bodhisattva Fruit Positions, but the origin is from one person.

"I cannot spread Precious Light Temple's Dharma Gates, but I can create a suitable Dharma Gate for him. If he wishes to know something, has any questions or requests, he can freely speak with me." Universal Relief smiled.

"In that case, how about I guide your disciples a bit? I know your Buddhist sect excels in the Path of the Mind and flesh, though flesh slaughter indeed lacks some power." He Fang said.

This kind of mutually beneficial matter they are both willing to do; before long, Universal Relief's nine disciples appeared before He Fang.

Six males and three females, with a significant age difference, ranging from True Immortal First Realm to Body Refining Realm; He Fang will give teachings over these few days.

Ming Ling curiously observed He Fang, why would this elder appear here? Is it possible that Uncle Wang came too?

These people didn't see Universal Relief since he and Di Xuan were engaged in a one-to-one inquiry, imparting the mysteries and truths of the path of faith.
