Of course, the Lords and Duan Shou were clear Yan Mountain was far from enough to beat the four Domains. Even the fiends alone could crush it.
Chen Ming continued, “Today, I shall pass on to you the cicada cultivation method. It is a spiritual cultivation’s cultivation method, as such, you need to destroy your previous one.”
Chen Ming removed the cloth next to him to reveal cicada’s stele.
Among the disciples watching it, Zhang Ming crushed his Dao Seed on the spot.
He did it without remorse, with ease and speed……
It didn’t take long for his juniors and seniors to follow, without any exception.
Chen Ming had yet to finish. He was going to say they could keep their previous cultivation method as long as they asked.
Good, all are ruined!
These broken toys of mine sure are an honest bunch.
Of course, this didn’t apply to legacy disciples. Each had their path, their cultivation to follow.
Chen Ming gave the signal to Li Suyi who nodded and waved for his demonic sect subordinates to bring the water before each disciple.
Chen Ming spoke, “Immerse yourself in the River of Time and your cicada bloodline shall awaken.”
He left out the fact it would change their bodies and had to tell a white lie.
All to give them the idea they were cicada from the start, to bring them closer to him.
Each of them flipped the bucket above their heads and let the water drip down on them.
Something shifted inside of their bodies and they could understand cicada’s language and cultivate its cultivation method.
Chen Ming waved, “Pick up your blade!”
Li Suyi was ready and provided them with more than 3,000 Five Year Cicada.
They held onto their black sabers and wore them behind the waist like Chen Ming.
He said, “Sit, Master will begin the lecture.”
With the activation of Enlighten Aura, “Zing, zing…… (time flows, flows into nothing. In the far East is our home, where the Red Toon stands majestic……)”
As they were changing their cultivation method, their speed was faster than cultivation itself as they were Transcending realm cultivators or immortals. But altering one’s entire cultivation was far from simple, as they needed to pierce through the Time Dao’s meaning. They had to at least form their Dao Seed to use the black saber.
The cicada stele contained 17 stages and Chen Ming comprehended the 8th, a step away from forming a Dao Chain. Teaching the disciples was an easy matter.
Chen Ming unraveled the essence of Time Dao to the intoxicated disciples for a month.
As their understanding of Dao deepened, each lecture could only last longer.
Chen Ming said, “We shall stop here. You all need to look for hardship cultivation methods that suit the cicada’s cultivation method to wield the black sword. Pressing forward is folly. You should reach certain cultivation and form a saber soul or sword soul for the hegemon sword and immortal sword. Then I will explain to you the most overbearing art of the cicada, the Hegemonic Immortal Sword!”
They all bowed, “Many thanks, Master!”
It was then he sensed Duan Shou broke through. He’d been comprehending for a while now and with Chen Ming’s lecture, it pushed him into forming the Dao Seed.
Duan Shou drew his saber and swung it a few times. His quick saber was twice as fast!
Duan Shou laughed, “With this art, close to no Gold Immortal can stand in my way!”
He got too excited and only now sensed something, rushing to clasp his hands before Chen Ming, “Thank you, Mountain Lord, for your teachings.”
Chen Ming nodded, “As your understanding rises, come to me for better blades.”
Duan Shou was stripped of any thoughts of betrayal. He knew his talent and any talk about becoming Emperor fell on death ears to him. Yet Chen Ming crushed all unparalleled existences in his tribulation. If he matured, he would become an absolute ruler.
Duan Show was but a mere Earth Immortal veteran in his time as an immortal.
The disciples left to cultivate and Chen Ming was thinking of how this hardship cultivation training was going to play out. But he wasn’t too rushed, since they just listened to his lecture and needed some time to take all in.
Yan Mountain had a hardship cultivator stele, the Eight Desolate Tyrant Body Zhuo Qingyao was practicing. Just that it didn’t mean it suited everyone. And hardship cultivation revolved around a universal truth, a sucking abyss of resources. If every single disciple started hardship cultivating then he’d go for broke, literally. Where the hell would he find so many tempering resources?
Not to mention he’d need a wide variety of hardship cultivation methods.
For now, they had never hardship cultivated, so as long as they didn’t go and nailed in their foundations by becoming immortals with it, they could train in any way they wanted.
It would be fine to address this again later, once their cicada cultivation method took them to the Immortal realm.
In truth, Chen Ming’s expectations of them were pretty high. They had all the resources they could grab, after all, and Heart Enlightenment Fruit to boost their perceptions. Besides Dao Heart, which was a crucial issue, others were easily solvable.
Having dealt with the disciples, Chen Ming could now get back to bumping his power. He had a lot of merits and spiritual knowledge on hand.
After all his time, his merits reached 12 million, while his spiritual knowledge was above the 10 billion mark.
Recalling how upgrading to the Transcending realm cost him one billion spiritual knowledge, the current amount ought to be enough for two stages. The transcending realm had four stages, Detached, Emergence, Chakra and Beneath Immortal.
He had enough to reach the Chakra stage, but god only knew what mission awaited him to open it.
