Cultivation: I Can Add Descriptors To My Body

Chapter 49: The Very Foundation of the Sect

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The great elder was very surprised to hear Li Ming speak in such a frank and straightforward manner.

It appeared to him as if Li Ming truly did not care about what other people thought.

This could be, in part, seen from how he had never taken the initiative to provoke others throughout his time in the Divine Will Sect.

He had an easygoing personality and did indeed have a state of mind that was very compatible with cultivation.

Nevertheless, the great elder did not expect him, who had appeared to be so easygoing, to be so smart and guess the situation instantly.

And so, after hearing his guesses, the great elder did not continue to hide the truth.

The great elder directly said, “In fact, it is as you have guessed. You should be clear on the situation regarding the body cultivation foundation establishment.”

“After considering many things, the sect has come to a decision.”

“The paving of new paths is what makes a great sect. You having attained the body cultivation foundation establishment stage has given the sect some hope that you may be able to further the path of body cultivation here. Although we still do hope that you focus on qi cultivation, we will not hinder your pursuit of the peak through body cultivation.”

While the great elder was speaking, the two of them soon arrived at a valley.

Behind the inner sect of the Divine Will Sect was the core of the sect. In this area, there were many mountains and courtyards.

Five of them were where the halls were located, as well as where the foundations of the Divine Will Sect lay.

Naturally, there was some extra space in this area.

The great elder continued, “Seeing as you insist on cultivating your body, the sect will naturally provide you with as much help as possible. However, no one in the Heavenly South Region has ever gotten so far in body cultivation in the past few hundred years, and the same is true in the sect.”

Li Ming was dumbfounded when he heard the great elder’s words.

Since there had been nobody to reach his stage in body cultivation in the past several hundred years, and the sect could not be of assistance to him with regard to it, then what could the sect give him?

He might as well return to his cave abode and continue training there.

Since no one could guide him on body cultivation, then he would just have to try things out himself. With the help of the entries, he felt that he naturally would not have that much to worry about. “Then may I know where we are going, great elder?”

“The true foundation of the Divine Will Sect.”

Li Ming was instantly stunned when he heard the great elder’s words.

The very foundation which the Divine Will Sect had been built upon had to be massive.

As the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region, the Divine Will Sect has hundreds of years of history.

It was a sect that had a nascent soul cultivator keeping watch over it, allowing it to dominate a huge area in the Heavenly Southern Region.

However, Li Ming had never heard of the Divine Will Sect having a true foundation which it was built upon.

Was it not just some area where spiritual veins, which was where spiritual qi gathered, and so happened to be where the sect was later established?

In reality, there were countless sects in the world, but these sects all had one thing in common: they were far away from the secular world and never built in towns or state capitals.

Moreover, they were all built in the deep mountains and steep places.

The reason for this was not that cultivators wanted to leave the mortal world. It was just that there were spiritual veins in these places, and the spiritual qi was dense enough to be suitable for cultivation.

Li Ming thought that it was the same for the Divine Will Sect.

However, looking at the great elder’s attitude, it was clearly not that simple.

“When the Divine Will Sect was first built, it was not only because of the abundance of spiritual qi here but also because there was a ruin here.”

“Most of the secret techniques of the Divine Will Sect were derived from this ruin. ”

Li Ming’s interest was piqued when he heard the great elder’s words.

He did not expect Divine Will Sect to have such a history.

He had been in the Divine Will Sect for so many years, but he had never heard of this before.

However, thinking about it carefully, he used to ignore everyone, so how was he to learn of the history of the sect.

It was normal for him to not know about some things.

“In this ruin, a plaque was found with the word ‘Wu (Martial)’ left on it. This was why the Martial Hall was established. It was considered to be the earliest hall of the Divine Will Sect. However, due to the decline of the path of body cultivation, it was ultimately abolished.”

“Speaking of which, you are going to be the first person to join this hall.”

Li Ming looked at the great elder expressionlessly.

What was this?

Why did it feel like the great elder was just fooling him?

If he did not want him to go to other halls to cultivate, then he should just say

Why did he suddenly tell him a story and create some Martial Hall?

Most importantly, he was going to be alone in this hall.

Wasn’t this all just some nonsense?

Before Li Ming could question the great elder, the area in front of him suddenly opened up, and he saw ruins and broken walls appear in front of him.

Although it was dilapidated, it looked grand and mysterious. At first glance, Li Ming felt that this place was extremely strange!

What was even more ridiculous was that there was really a courtyard beside these ruins. However, it looked old and dilapidated. It was obvious that no one had managed it for many years.

“This is the place.”

“You will have to explore this place yourself in the future.”

“This place is very troublesome for those who practice qi. It will absorb the spiritual qi of cultivators, and that was why nobody had really explored it much.”

“However, as you are a body cultivator and do not care much for qi cultivation, the spiritual qi siphoning of this place should not affect you much.”

After hearing the great elder’s words, Li Ming really wanted to curse.

Weren’t they just sending him to his doom?

And he even said that he did not care about qi cultivation?

How could he not care? Previously, it was just that he had no choice. His talent in qi cultivation was truly poor!

However, now that he had entries for qi cultivation, he naturally cared!

Was this sect still a proper sect?

How could they harm their disciples like this?

As Li Ming was occupied with his own thoughts, the great elder turned around and looked at him.

“Li Ming, the sect respects your decision. If you are willing to cultivate here, the sect will naturally not be stingy with what you need.”

“If you do not want to do so, you can choose to go to the Spirit Will Hall or any other hall you so wish.”

Li Ming was about to reply, when the system suddenly gave a prompt him two options.

[If you choose to stay in the Martial Hall, you will obtain a purple entry!]

[If you refuse to stay, you will obtain a blue entry!]

Looking at the options, Li Ming felt helpless and agreed without hesitation.

“Great elder, I would like to stay here.”

“However, I have some questions. Why did great elder insist on bringing me here? Is it just because I’m a body cultivator?”

Although Li Ming had made his choice, he was still curious.

No matter what, he was personally brought all this way by the great elder. It could not be because he had intentions of harming him, right?

Placing him in an area where spiritual qi would be constantly siphoned from his body, would this not completely prevent him from improving his qi cultivation?

“That’s because this place is too important, and it holds great secrets. With you at the body cultivation foundation establishment stage, it should not take too long for you to understand.”

“When you find those secrets, come find me.”

After the great elder finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Li Ming was speechless when he watched the great elder leave so irresponsibly.

What was this?

If he had known earlier, he would not have won in the inner sect grand competition.

Fortunately, he obtained a purple entry after all that.

It could be considered to have balanced the dissatisfaction in Li Ming’s heart.

It was just that he still felt quite unhappy with having painstakingly forced his level in qi refinement to increase in vain. It was not easy for him to increase his qi cultivation, and he was currently only a small bit away from reaching the qi cultivation foundation establishment stage.

But now, he had to come to this strange place.

This was really hard to accept.

“For now, I should just look at the entry I got.”

It was useless to think too much, and it would only add to his troubles. Li Ming was not interested in doing such things.

In any case, body cultivation was his main thing. Since it seemed that he was destined to not cultivate qi, then so be it.

[Purple Entry: Ravenous Feast!]

WTF?

What is this new entry?

What is going on?

Looking at the new purple entry, Li Ming found himself confused and curious.

The purple entry [Martial Dao Prodigy] had greatly improved Li Ming’s talent in body cultivation!

Moreover, he had also obtained a divine soul opportunity, allowing him to have a powerful divine soul in the foundation establishment stage. He even had divine soul techniques to make use of that advantage.

That one entry had given Li Ming several trump cards.

This time, he had received another purple entry. However, the name of this purple entry was a little strange.

But after taking a closer look at what the purple entry did, Li Ming finally got a better understanding of what it did.

[Ravenous Feast: Increases the spiritual qi absorbed by 100%.]

At the same time, the purple entry was accompanied by an opportunity!

[Restore]. A restoration opportunity, damages to the body, and spiritual qi consumption will be automatically restored or recovered. The host is granted a 50% increase to their recovery rate!

Looking at the entry and the opportunity that were granted to him, Li Ming was stunned.

The [Martial Dao Prodigy] entry from before had given him a divine soul opportunity, allowing him to forge his soul in advance.

It had given him great benefits.

And now, he had gotten a restoration opportunity!

This restoration would be very beneficial to his body cultivation. It allowed the injuries and wounds on his body to recover faster than before, thereby allowing him to increase the intensity of his training!

At the same time, it also helped with the restoration of the spiritual qi that he had consumed!

Even if this place siphoned his spiritual qi, with this new entry, what did he even have to worry about?

This opportunity came at the perfect time!

With this entry and opportunity, Li Ming was obviously very excited.

He had originally thought that the sect placing him here would have prevented him from being able to further his qi cultivation.

But now, it seemed that he did not have to worry about the problem of not being able to continue cultivating qi.

At the same time, he could still continue his body cultivation in peace.. He was practically killing two birds with one stone!
