Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 259 If Di Xiao is truly such a genius, then I will definitely keep him here!

"Originally, as a new recruit, you weren't qualified to eat the food prepared by the Food Immortals. However, your comprehension is truly remarkable, and you've already undergone a complete blood transfusion. Therefore, to prevent you from being contaminated, we've brought you here to eat the food prepared by the Food Immortals."

"What you see before you is the spirit of a celestial artifact, which can only take human form."

Upon hearing this, Di Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. He was relieved about his choice and also relieved that he had revealed his talent. Without these, it would have been quite difficult for Di Xiao to access these resources.

Although Di Xiao had experienced luxury before, thinking back to his original form, he could readily offer up resources from the primordial chaos. Yet now, he could only secretly rejoice over a piece of dragon meat. This was somewhat of a disparity.

However, these discrepancies were instantly erased by Di Xiao's will.

Right now, Di Xiao is eating more food to replenish the weakness caused by the blood transfusion, and then says with gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Food Immortal."

"No need to thank me. This is all I should do, and besides, I treat a human genius like you with extra care. Alright, hurry up and eat, eat as much as you can. After you complete your 107th blood exchange, you will be qualified to eat dragon meat. So I've saved the dragon meat for you." The Food Immortal smiled, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.

Di Xiao wolfed down the food cooked by the immortal artifact, and the abundant energy contained within it surged into his body.

Di Xiao stopped eating when he felt his whole body burning up, his eyes sparkling: "That was so satisfying."

"If you enjoyed the meal, then go cultivate. Digest it properly." Xue Ping looked at Di Xiao with admiration and a hint of anticipation.

Di Xiao nodded and smiled; he would have done the same even without Xue Ping saying so. He immediately went out, found an open space, and began to cultivate.

By circulating the Cleansing Technique, one can draw upon the body's Qi and blood to cleanse oneself and bone marrow using a special method, thus promoting self-renewal.

The pain of the blood transfusion once again filled Di Xiao's body, forcing him to suppress the agony. Then he watched as the foul blood within his body surged and poured out from his pores.

Di Xiao cultivated tirelessly, resting when he was tired and eating food cooked by immortal artifacts when he was hungry.

This state of cultivation continued until nightfall. Only then did Xue Ping call a halt, instructing Di Xiao to rest.

After nodding, Di Xiao followed Xue Ping's arrangement and went to rest in a small palace. This wasn't where the new recruits lived together, but rather a place specially prepared for Xue Ping by Di Xiao.

This is also due to Di Xiao's exceptional talent and high level of comprehension, which brought him preferential treatment.

However, upon arriving here, Di Xiao did not choose to rest. Instead, he chose to cultivate. However, at this time, Di Xiao was not cultivating the first level of the Defilement Slaying Technique, but the first level of the Form Intent Defilement Slaying Technique that he had created himself.

Emperor Xiao evolved the qualities of a white tiger and the form of an ape, stirring up his blood and cleansing his marrow. The resulting tempering and purification effects far surpassed those of the ordinary first level of purification.

"Crunch, crunch..."

A shattering sound echoed within Di Xiao's body. Then, he felt his bones explode, his flesh tear, and more filth flow out of his body.

"Hoo..." Di Xiao couldn't help but pant, feeling the changes within his body, his flesh surging: "Indeed, the first level of the Form and Intent Severing Defilement that I created has a more intense blood-renewing effect, and it penetrates deep into the bone marrow. In this way, more defilement is severed, and the effect of blood renewal is even better."

"However, I don't find cultivation or anything like that strange. What I'm really puzzled by is this Journey to the West worldview. This is not the Journey to the West world I'm familiar with at all. In the Journey to the West world I remember, were humans really that special? Was the Tang Dynasty's borders really that powerful?"

In Di Xiao's memory of the Journey to the West world, the Tang Dynasty was just a dynasty of mortals, so what was so strange about it? But now, it feels like this Tang Dynasty is a completely different concept from the Tang Dynasty in his memory.

The existence of such a profound and mysterious technique as the "Defilement-Slaying Technique" inevitably implies that the Tang Dynasty possessed many powerful figures. Furthermore, it seems that the Tang Dynasty was established with the support of powerful individuals. However, in the Journey to the West world, Li Shimin was threatened by a mere Jing River Dragon King. This seems rather illogical.

Di Xiao pondered for a moment, then could only manage a bitter smile: "Perhaps all of this is a scheme by the Buddhist sect?"

After much thought, this is the only explanation I can come up with. After all, how could a mere Jing River Dragon King dare to act recklessly in such a powerful Tang Dynasty? Isn't that a joke?

Di Xiao shook his head, not thinking much of it, and went to rest. Although the feeling of cultivation was good, Di Xiao couldn't cultivate indefinitely. Moreover, it was nighttime, and if he continued cultivating like this, there would be no food to replenish his energy.

While Di Xiao rested, Xue Ping reported Di Xiao's news to his superiors.

Soon, a lithe figure appeared before Xue Ping. Upon seeing this person, Xue Ping immediately bowed and said, "This humble general Xue Ping greets the young general."

"Xue Ping, you're my deputy, so let's skip the formalities." The young general waved his hand, indicating to Xue Ping not to be so polite: "Is the Di Xiao you just reported really as miraculous as you say?"

"This humble general dares not boast. This Di Xiao is truly extraordinary. Although his aptitude is a bit lacking, his comprehension is terrifying. He learned the Defilement Severing Technique with just a little comprehension, and completed eight blood exchanges in just one day. At this rate of blood exchange, I estimate that he will be able to cultivate the Defilement Severing Technique to a minor level of mastery in less than half a year." Xue Ping said excitedly.

In truth, if Xue Ping hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a gifted human existed in the world. But seeing Di Xiao complete the blood transfusion time and time again, he had no choice but to believe it.

It was only after seeing Di Xiao's exceptional talent that Xue Ping directly reported Di Xiao's information. After all, such a genius had to be recruited.

Therefore, Xue Ping said with longing, "Young General, you must keep Di Xiao. Our Black Tiger Army needs such a powerful talent. If the Red Tiger Army finds out, they will definitely come and snatch him away."

"Haha... Don't worry, if Di Xiao is truly such a genius, I will definitely keep him. He won't be snatched away by those guys from the Crimson Tiger Army. After all, he's a talent discovered by our Black Tiger Army."

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Nurture this Di Xiao well. I will have someone send some resources to subsidize him. I want to see how far he can grow in just three years of basic training."

The young general also held a sliver of hope; Xue Ping was his deputy, and naturally wouldn't deceive him. But enlightenment is something invisible and intangible. Who knew if Di Xiao's insight was merely a fleeting realization, or simply a profound understanding of the "Slaying Defilement Technique"?

Therefore, let's send some resources first and see what level Di Xiao can reach after three years of cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ping quickly nodded, "Yes, Young General."

Having said that, Xue Ping said nothing more, watching the young general's illusory figure dissipate.
