On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Once all the participants were teleported to their assigned trials,

In a mysterious place, there stood a tall statue of a phoenix and a dragon, their heads reaching towards the sky.

Two people were present in this room, and they seemed familiar.

One of them was Long Wei, who sat on the dragon head statue. The other person was Su Linhua, who stood on the phoenix head statue.

Right in front of them, there were two screens. One screen displayed the fire trial, while the other showed the ice trial.

"The little girl you're interested in seems quite impressive. Judging from her reaction, it seems like the ice in the ice trial doesn't affect her much."

"Um, if I'm guessing correctly, she might have that special bloodline, but I need to confirm it."

"But her eyes aren't blue like others with that bloodline, right?" Long Wei asked.

"Don't tell me!" A sudden realization struck him.

"Sigh... yes, you're thinking right," Su Linhua sighed and nodded.

"Poor girl, she must have gone through a lot in her life," Long Wei said, feeling sorry for her. He knew about the strict traditions of that clan.

"That clan tradition is complete nonsense; I didn't like it at all!"

"Haa, you think I like it either?" Su Linhua exclaimed angrily.

"If they find that girl, they'll definitely kill her; they'll never accept someone who's..."

"Stop!" Su Linhua interrupted Long Wei before he could say anything more.

Her face grew dark with worry as she pondered the girl's fate.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to remember the past."

"...Okay."

"Now, what about you?" she asked, trying to change the subject of the conversation.

"Well, I do have many talented kids, but..."

"But what?"

Long Wei didn't answer; instead, he pointed at the screen where a young boy was battling two beasts simultaneously.

His movements were swift and precise, and his attacks were strong and effective. Su Linhua watched as the boy effortlessly defeated the beasts.

"He's really impressive," she remarked.

"Yes, he is," Long Wei agreed. "That's why I'm interested in him."

Su Linhua smiled. "Oh, but apart from his skills, I didn't notice anything particularly special about him. Are you sure?"

"I'm always right when it comes to talent, and you know that," Long Wei replied confidently.

"Besides, I have a feeling that he has much more potential than what we've seen so far."

"Do you want to hear something interesting?"

"Hmm, what is it?"

"Well, there's something peculiar about this kid. I tried to figure him out, but every time I delved deeper, something or someone prevented me from uncovering everything."

"What?! Are you serious? But that kid is just a Qi Refinement cultivator with basic Qi Refinement skills. How is that possible?"

"Just as I mentioned earlier, I don't know. There was a powerful force that halted my will abruptly."

"I can still feel that immense power. It was like I was a tiny insect, vulnerable and easily crushed.

It made me realize how insignificant I am in comparison." Long Wei paused, his face tense and filled with worry. "We have to be extremely cautious when dealing with that kid."

"You're serious!" Su Linhua exclaimed, taken aback by Long Wei's words. "If even a cultivator at the Qi refinement level possesses such overwhelming power, then we must exercise great caution."

"Did you do what I asked?" Long Wei inquired.

"Yeah, I did it, but why? Why couldn't we just tell them the truth?" Su Linhua questioned.

"No, we can't tell them the truth," Long Wei insisted.

"Why not? It's not that serious," Su Linhua remarked. The secret Long Wei had entrusted her with wasn't a significant issue.

"We can't risk it," Long Wei responded firmly.

"Um, what do you think will happen if people find out about the conditions for inheriting our inheritance?

Maybe it won't be a big deal if the inheritor is a man and a woman, but what if it's two men or two women?

Hehehe~~

"I never really thought about it before.

Okay," Su Linhua nodded, understanding that this situation was quite serious. "I promise I won't say anything about it."

"Good," Long Wei said, his expression becoming softer. "We need to be cautious and make sure they never discover the truth, at least for now."

"But what do you think will happen if what you said actually happens?" Su Linhua wanted to continue discussing, but she stopped herself because the topic was too embarrassing.

Luckily for her, Long Wei understood exactly what she was thinking.

"Oh, regarding that, hehehe~" Long Wei smiled playfully.

"Did you ever hear about this quote?"

Su Linhua was puzzled by Long Wei's mention of a quote. She had no clue what he was referring to. Curiosity piqued, she asked, "What quote are you talking about?"

Long Wei began to explain, recalling an encounter with a formidable expert from his past. "Once, during my travels long ago, I came across a powerful individual who shared some wise words. He said, 'If there is a hole, there is a goal; with strength, one can do anything.'"

Su Linhua repeated the quote slowly, trying to grasp its meaning. It seemed cryptic to her, and she couldn't quite make sense of it.

Frustration crept into her voice as she asked, "What on earth does that even mean?"

Long Wei paused for a moment, realizing that his words may have been confusing.

"You wouldn't get it," Long Wei shook his head. "That expert said something else, and only a 'Cultured Man' would grasp its meaning."

"Only a cultured man?" Su Linhua asked, puzzled. "Is this some kind of new Great Dao?"

"..."

"Hahhh, no It means someone "has refined taste," Long Wei said with a smile.

Su Linhua had a confused look on her face as she tried to understand the meaning behind Long Wei's words.

She furrowed her brow and focused on the conversation, determined to grasp the concept of what a "cultured man" meant in this context.

As she listened intently, Su Linhua hoped to gain more insight into the mysterious words of the expert.

"Forget it; you will not understand." Long Wei shook his head.

"What will we do if what you said actually happens?" Su Linhua asked again,

"Nothing. Well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, but for now, let's focus on keeping this a secret."
