Chapter 228: Three Conditions
What must be done to give oneself a chance to contend for the top spot?
When Qin Yi asked this question involuntarily, perhaps even he himself did not notice that his state of mind had quietly undergone a change.
Perhaps it was because the number of Clones under his main body was increasing and growing stronger, giving him a glimpse of a possibility to rise within this Demon Sect; or perhaps, it was Su Meier's seemingly absurd request that ignited a burning flame in his heart.
He realized that in the upcoming Sect Grand Competition, he might not just be able to survive.
On the contrary, he could live well, and perhaps even have a chance to contend for that supreme glory, becoming the top spot everyone looked up to, becoming a truly pivotal figure within the Sect!
If he could truly possess such a Clone, then the main body would have a backer in the true sense of the word.
And who could guess that the winner of the Sect Grand Competition was actually just one of his Clones?
And who could guess that he, seemingly unknown, had such a backer?
Therefore, Qin Yi now truly wanted to know the answer to this question.
Upon hearing this question, a trace of seriousness appeared in Su Meier's peach blossom eyes.
She slowly sat up straight, the fiery red thin gauze dress sliding down like flowing water, and she gazed at Qin Yi, her red lips parting slightly.
"If you want to contend for the top spot, the first and most basic thing is to raise your cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before the Sect Grand Competition begins."
"This is the most basic requirement. Only by having a higher Realm than others from the very beginning can you hope to contend for the top spot."
"Don't think about fighting across Realms; that's just a story in novels. If you can fight across Realms, why couldn't your opponents? Those who attempt to contend for the top spot are almost all dragons and phoenixes among men; a difference of a hair's breadth can lead to a difference of a thousand miles."
"Therefore, you must take advantage of this time to raise your cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Late Foundation Establishment Stage?
Qin Yi's heart was suddenly shocked, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was that it was impossible; this was absolutely impossible to achieve!
He couldn't reach the Early Golden CoreStage, but the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was equally impossible!
Although the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and the Early Golden Core Stage are separated by an insurmountable chasm filled with thousands of difficulties and dangers that cannot be described in words, there seems to be a huge gap between the two.
But even so, with his current state, wanting to break through from just having stepped into Foundation Establishment all the way to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage within just ten days was still a pipe dream.
He could clearly feel that, based on his current perception of his own spiritual power, the two types of Medicinal Pills he had swallowed previously could only provide a negligible, almost non-existent, increase in spiritual power.
This meant that it was already impossible for him to rely on Medicinal Pills to rapidly improve his cultivation again.
His only remaining option was to rely on his own Cultivation Technique for hard cultivation.
But just by doing this—how could it be possible to raise his cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before the Sect Grand Competition?
One must know that, at most, there were only about ten days left before the Sect Grand Competition began!
Seeing Qin Yi's expression instantly become grave, Su Meier giggled, stretched out a slender, jade-like finger, and lightly tapped Qin Yi's chest: "Fool, it can be done. Have you forgotten? I just told you, after stepping into Foundation Establishment, those core Cultivation Techniques will no longer set up Bottlenecks for you."
"This means that from now on, the better your talent, the faster your cultivation can improve."
"Of course—for ordinary people, wanting to do this in such a short time is indeed not an easy matter. To succeed, you must meet three conditions."
"Which three conditions?" Qin Yi looked at the face close at hand, his breathing slightly hurried.
Su Meier extended her first finger, slender as jade, the nail polish on her fingertip bright red and dripping.
"The first condition is that you must possess a sufficiently powerful Cultivation Technique, not core Cultivation Techniques like the Blood Feast Art or the Mysterious Primordial Art. They are indeed the foundation of a Dao Pathand can help you easily embark on this Dao Path, but after that, the cultivation speed of such core Cultivation Techniques is not satisfactory."
"You must find a Cultivation Technique of the same Dao Path but more powerful. Such Cultivation Techniques often require a core Cultivation Technique as a foundation to begin practicing. But with it, you can continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and rapidly improve your cultivation."
"Moreover, you have actually already met this condition." A smile curled at the corners of Su Meier's mouth, "The Asura Blood Transformation Divine Guidance that Zhou Hairui recommended to you back then is such a Cultivation Technique. You should have—already practiced it, right?"
"More importantly, because it is not a core Cultivation Technique, it naturally does not have those obstacles deliberately set by those techniques. Therefore, in the process of practicing it, you can ignore those so-called Mid-stage or even Late Stage Qi Refining Bottlenecks. Perhaps—you have already experienced it yourself."
Hearing this, Qin Yi's body shook violently; he suddenly thought of something!
Back then, when he practiced the Asura Blood Transformation Divine Guidance, although it was extremely painful and difficult to endure, at the very moment of success, he had broken through from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer to the Qi Refining Level Seven without any obstruction!
At that time, he couldn't figure out why this was.
But now, having heard Su Meier's explanation, he finally understood!
So, the root cause was here!
Because the Asura Blood Transformation Divine Guidance was not a core Cultivation Technique, there was no such thing as a so-called Bottleneck!
Having figured this out, he nodded secretly, then continued to sit upright and asked in a deep voice: "Then, what about the second condition?"
Seeing his appearance, the smile on Su Meier's face became even more charming. She extended her second jade-like finger and chuckled: "As for this second condition—actually, you have already met it. That is to become a Sect True Disciple and possess a spiritual eye of your own!"
"Without a spiritual eye, you won't have sufficiently dense Spiritual Qi. Even if your talent is great and your Cultivation Techniqueis powerful, practicing will be like a clever housewife trying to cook without rice. If Spiritual Qi is scarce, even if your talent is Heaven-Defying, it is absolutely impossible for your cultivation to improve rapidly."
"However, since you have already become a Sect True Disciple and now have your own Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, you naturally don't need to worry about this spiritual eye. How about it? You have already met two of these three conditions; in fact, you still have a very good chance of reaching the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before the Sect Grand Competition."
Qin Yi heard Su Meier's praise, but his face remained calm, though his eyes became brighter and brighter, looking full of spirit.
He asked in pursuit: "Then, what about the third condition?"
