After the Skyfall

Chapter 410: Cultivation Exchange
As the vice president of the Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu was leading a group of spiritual power masters to meet the exchange group from the Xuanxian Continent in the Golden Hall. Looking at the old man with white hair and a youthful face who was leading the group, Sun Boxiu's heart sank.

The old man looked kind, but his life breath was terrifying. If you closed your eyes and felt it, the intensity of this life breath did not seem like something a human should possess. Instead, it seemed like a legendary mythical creature.

really.

For cultivators, their life has evolved to the point where they have departed from their human nature and, strictly speaking, should be considered human-shaped creatures.

"This old man is very powerful, just like what we analyzed before. The older the cultivators in Xuanxian Continent are, the more powerful they are. Even if an Evolver is extremely talented and is catching up, with less than ten years of cultivation, how can he possibly compare to others who have practiced for decades or even hundreds of years?"

"What's more, the cosmic energy of Xuanxian Continent, no, the spiritual energy is at its peak. Coupled with at least thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of development, it crushes the Earth in every aspect."

Sun Boxiu sighed helplessly.

After he truly came into contact with this world of cultivation that had reached its peak, he deeply understood how big the gap between the two worlds was.

If the other party had not been shocked by the cross-border attack of the gods a few days ago, it would have been impossible for them to communicate properly with the evolvers on Earth. They would probably have directly invaded forcefully. Many people would have been enslaved by these immortal cultivators, just like the group of black elves picking cotton in history.

"The old Taoist Taixian has brought 72 disciples from Xuanxian Continent to visit the Golden Academy. I wish you all prosperity and longevity."

The old man called himself Taixianweng. He bowed with a smile on his face, and then said, "This time, I brought ten volumes of immortal cultivation methods, one hundred and twenty spells, thirty spiritual tools, three treasure tools, and five hundred jade scrolls on medicine, formations, history, divination, and alchemy. I will give them to the school. I hope that the two places can resolve previous misunderstandings and exchange methods of cultivation together to prove the great way."

As he spoke, a spirit beast pulled over cartloads of jade slips and magic weapons and placed them neatly aside.

Sun Boxiu took a look and did not show any joy in his heart.

He knew that these things could not be particularly precious. They should be some basic immortal cultivation methods and historical materials of the Xuanxian Continent. If one was willing, it should not be difficult for the Golden Academy to get them. However, it was a good thing that the other party delivered them to his door now. It could speed up his understanding and avoid some detours.

As for the cultivation methods and spells, he did not plan to open them to the students of the Golden Academy.

It's not that he is selfish, but he doesn't dare let his students learn the practice method sent by the other party. Otherwise, something might go wrong, leaving hidden dangers, or the practice method might be easily suppressed. What should he do then?
The Golden Academy is where masters and elites gather. If something goes wrong here, then there will be no hope for the Earth.

After a brief thought, Sun Boxiu smiled politely again: "You are too polite, Taixianweng. Under the sky tilt, disasters occurred frequently. Xuanxian Continent and Earth are actually victims of this disaster. Compared with the hidden dangers in other worlds, the conflicts between our two places are nothing. Taixianweng is willing to bring all the disciples to the Golden Academy to exchange the methods of cultivating immortals and promote friendship between the two worlds. This is a great thing. As the vice president of the Golden Academy, I naturally welcome it very much."

His meaning was very clear.

Xuanxian Continent, don't keep your eyes on the Earth. Your cross-border gate has also been opened. Dangers from other worlds may come to you. Your world is not invincible.

"The dean has a point."

Taixianweng stroked his beard and smiled, "That's why the exchange between the two worlds is so urgent. Xuanxian Continent is not the enemy of the Earth. Facing various natural disasters on Earth, we are willing to assist you to quell the turmoil and make up for the mistakes we made before with our meager strength. I hope the dean will grant your approval."

Sun Boxiu's expression changed slightly.

Is this an attempt to find a suitable reason and excuse to settle on Earth?
But it’s hard to refuse.

Sun Boxiu said, "This matter concerns the country, and it is not something that a vice president like me can influence. However, I will convey the good intentions of the Grand Immortal Master. I believe that as long as it is mutually beneficial, they will agree. Please wait for a while, Grand Immortal Master."

Taixianweng smiled and did not dwell on this matter. He immediately said, "It's okay. I will stay in your place for a while. Whenever I need your help, I will be generous and will bring my disciples with me. But we can talk about this later. Today, I want to discuss Taoism and Dharma with your school and learn from each other. I'm sure the dean will not disagree."

"It's a good thing to learn from each other. How could I not agree?" Sun Boxiu said.

Taixian Weng said: "The Xuanxian Continent where I live is a place where people learn the way to cultivate immortality. Beginners are at the Qi training stage, and finally those who reach the Mahayana stage can transform from ordinary people into immortals. And immortals are divided into human immortals and true immortals."

He talked eloquently and described the realm of cultivation in the Xuanxian Continent.

The first step is to practice Qi, then build foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, transcending tribulation, Mahayana, and then human immortal and true immortal.

Sun Boxiu and other masters from the Golden Academy frowned as they listened.

Because according to this realm classification, their spiritual power masters should be considered in the Jindan stage, but if we talk about strength, it is hard to be sure because we have never fought them. But I believe that the cultivators in the Jindan stage will be stronger, because the cultivation system in their world is already very complete, with equipment refining, formations, talismans, spells, swordsmanship, and so on.

On the other hand, those who evolve in the spiritual realm, although they practice many methods, their systems are not perfect and it is difficult for them to fully exert their combat power.

In fact, it is not just the masters of the Golden Academy who have such doubts. The cultivators of the Xuanxian Continent are also unsure about who is stronger and who is weaker among each other under the realm division.

And outside the golden palace.

The other students who were watching the fun also heard the conversation inside. They were all a little surprised and started talking about it.

"What? I'm at the Soul Realm. If I were in the Xuanxian Continent, I'd be at the Foundation Establishment Realm at best. What a joke! If that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator comes over here, I'll tear his head off." A Soul Realm student said in a somewhat embarrassed tone. "Medium, inspiration, and spiritual perception, the three realms combined are only one Qi Training Realm, and he's surpassed by that person?"

"It's hard to say whether the other party has twelve levels of Qi Refining, but the other party's system is obviously very complete. Unlike us, we stopped at the Spirit God Realm. The higher realms are still waiting for the forerunners to explore and create, but the other party has already been able to transform from a mortal to an immortal."

"Although the other party is a cultivator, it may not be a big deal for us to practice multiple methods at the same time."

They were discussing it, and the immortal cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent who came here were also discussing it.

"A spiritual power realm evolver wants to compete with a Jindan cultivator? They don't deserve it. I have seen spiritual power realm evolvers take action. If a foundation-building cultivator holds a treasure, even if it is of low quality, they can kill it. If facing a Jindan cultivator, there is no need for anything else. A breath of the Three Flavors True Fire can turn them into ashes."

"Yes, their souls are even more fragile. I have never seen such a stupid way of cultivation. Their souls are not stable. Instead of staying in the Dantian Sea of ​​Consciousness to nurture the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul, they often leave their bodies and run around. This is simply damaging their foundation. On the contrary, they have developed their bodies quite well and have stimulated all the potential of their bodies. However, they have all the strength but don't know how to use it."

"What's the point of being so strong? You can't even block a spell attack, and they can only stand there and stare at a flying sky."

"We have only been cultivating in this world for ten years. It would be a huge loss to communicate with them. Giving them a basic Qi Gathering Technique is enough for them to study for several years. Taixianweng is still polite to these natives. If it were me, I would directly send out the pressure of a great cultivator of the Spiritualization Realm to suppress them all. After all, the natives have always been afraid of power rather than virtue."

They transmitted their thoughts through their spiritual consciousness and made comments at will.

Taixianweng and Sun Boxu in the golden hall also understood that simply discussing the pros and cons of the methods of cultivation did not make much sense. You said that those who had evolved in the spiritual realm practiced many methods and had infinite potential. I said that Jindan cultivators could fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and could use various spells at will. All of this was just talk.

The real result is very simple. You will know after playing the first game.

Taixianweng took this opportunity to propose a challenge and a duel.

Sun Boxiu agreed after a brief thought.

He also wanted to know the strength positioning between the Evolvers and the Immortal Cultivators. This was related to many subsequent issues. If there was a conflict in the future and they became enemies, at least people would know how strong or weak their enemies were. Moreover, if they could show some strength of the Golden Academy this time, perhaps it would arouse some fear on the other side.

“However, if the fight ends in a limited manner, it will affect the performance of the disciples. If it is a life-and-death duel, it will easily damage the harmony between our two worlds. Why not do this? The disciples fight, and I watch from the side. If we encounter a disciple in danger, we will help him. After rescuing him, it will naturally be considered as admitting defeat.” Taixianweng smiled and stroked his beard.

Sun Boxiu said: "That's fair, no problem."

Taixian Weng said: "Then I will add a bonus. If the disciple of your academy wins, I will give this precious artifact, the Glazed Golden Mirror, to the winner."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm and a crystal clear mirror floated in the air.

There is a golden mirror in the middle of the treasure mirror, which is breathtaking and shining. You can tell at a glance that it is an extraordinary treasure. And just by floating there, the surrounding cosmic energy begins to continuously gather towards this treasure. These energies seem to be swallowed up into it as quickly as possible, and the user can use them at any time as long as he wants.

"What a treasure." Sun Boxiu couldn't help but praise.

Just now, after some communication, he also knew that the weapons in the Xuanxian world were also divided into three levels: spiritual weapons, treasure weapons, and immortal weapons. Most of the cultivators used spiritual weapons, and only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above were qualified to use treasure weapons, which were divided into three grades: low, medium, and high.

As for immortal weapons, they are the heritage of large sects. Only true immortals can refine them, and they are hard to come by.

Therefore, the treasures are considered to be truly valuable items in Xuanxian Continent.

"This Taixianweng wants to squeeze out the financial resources of the Golden Academy. It seems that he is very confident and thinks he will win the fight." Sun Boxiu's expression changed slightly. Now he also has to put up a jackpot, but after thinking about it again and again, he felt that the only thing that could be comparable to this treasure was a rare object.

An incomplete treasure is not enough. You need a complete treasure.

A complete rare object contains cosmic energy that can support cross-border operations, and each one is of vital importance to the Golden Academy.

However, at this point, I have no choice but to take it.

"Since Taixianweng is willing to use a treasure as a prize, I can't be petty." As he said this, Sun Boxiu looked towards a certain place in the Golden Academy.

next moment.

A red light flew out from the cross-border base of the Golden Academy.

It was a scale, like a ruby, but it emitted an amazing energy field.

"A piece of dragon scale?" Taixianweng's expression changed at this moment.
