Chapter 6: The Threshold of Life and Death
A month of deceptive silence had passed, making the world believe the storm had subsided. It was then that Wu Tian summoned Yu Lan to a clandestine location, far from prying eyes and the reach of any demonic surveillance. Standing in the shadows of an isolated sanctuary, his voice carried a heavy, lethal gravity. "Yu Lan, listen carefully," he began, his gaze piercing the dim light. "What we discuss here must never reach the ears of the Demons." As Yu Lan questioned her role, Wu Tian unveiled a secret buried for ages—the art of Cultivation. This was the ultimate weapon, a power capable of elevating mere humans to the level of gods.
His plan was absolute: Yu Lan was to take a group of trusted allies into the depths of the 'Secret Game' to cultivate in total silence. While the others would be granted standard cultivation methods to bolster their strength, Wu Tian revealed a far more dangerous path for Yu Lan alone—the 'Life and Death Method'. This ancient technique consisted of 12 major levels, each containing 12 intricate sub-levels. Wu Tian warned her sternly that this method was hers and hers alone; it was a power that chose its master, ensuring they remained its commander rather than its slave. Even as Yu Lan prepared to embark on this grueling journey, Wu Tian set out to personally mentor Bai Kaungya, Mai Kaun Gya, and Xiao Rangu, forging the next generation of warriors for the war to come.
