After an hour, Crimson Spear finally finished consolidating his foundation, ending his cultivation.
He stood up and glanced above him.
"Seniors, thanks for endowing this chance to break into Yuan Foundation Realm. In this life, I've already believed myself to stuck at the perfection stage of the Second Realm. This junior, owe his life to you." Saying that, he knelt and was about to kowtow.
"Halt!" the old man abruptly spoke making Crimson Spear to stop his action.
"There is no need. Consider this as your karmic fate."
"Senior, but."
Sherry spoke, "Since you passed my trial, naturally, I'll give you something to cut this karmic line of thread." She made a tossing motion and a reddish hue in the shaped of a spear appeared in the night sky.
Seeing that, the old man squinted his eyes a bit. However, he didn't speak a word as if agreeing to whatever his disciple was planning to do.
The spear seemed to be an illusion. But it was not the case for Crimson Spear. He felt an overbearing pressure both in his body and soul. His every innards shook.
Still he chose to stay still and let the illusionary reddish spear to come at him. The spear flashed and penetrated his forehead entering his soul sea.
Sherry spoke, "This Cultivation Technique is best for you. It's called Heaven Penetrating Spear technique. It has seven stages. This is the first stage. Using this, you can still reached up to the next Fourth Realm— Yuan Ascention Realm."
"Yuan Ascention Realm?" Crimson Spear muttered feeling all surreal. Not long ago, he had firmed believe he would never be able to reach the third realm but this lucky encounter changed his fate and hearing to break into the next fourth realm using the cultivation technique. He felt very respectful toward the senior.
He had a strong urged to kowtow and accept the lady as his master. But the other had already warned him not to do.
It was still true that from this day onward, he was going to walk in a new world of cultivation and this place was not enough to hold him anymore.
The lady added, "Listen carefully, climbing the ladder of cultivation is an arduous task. A hard one. Many difficulty, we will face. So there is no guarantee that you would be able to reach the Fourth realm by just cultivating this spear technique. It all depend on your comprehension skill and luck."
She continued, "Perhaps, if you are able to reach the Fourth Realm. Come to the Sun tower of the Sun Emperor. I'll give you the next page of the Heaven Penetrating Spear technique."
Crimson Spear looked into his soul sea and saw a large red page hanging in the air. At the top, he spotted the name of the technique writing in an awe inspiring text— Heaven Penetrating Spear Technique, First Cannon— Awakening of Sleeping Python.
He felt so excited and even wanted to start cultivating in it. But he stopped and felt an incredulous feeling to bow at the senior. He stood there waiting for her to speak.
"You can leave now." Sherry spoke in a commanding tone.
Crimson Spear gave a slight bow toward the direction of the voice and he quickly sprinted off the mountainous region.
After a minute, the night became all silent.
"Old man, are you still not going to ask me?" Sherry said.
"Hmph! What is the need? You'll do whatever the hell you want. It's better to not waste my breath asking such silly question." The old spoke.
"Good then, let's continue our journey as you promise." Sherry patted over little Shu's back.
The white swan was about to flap its wings. But it stopped as the master patted on it.
The old man complained, "What is wrong with you, girl?! That is Heaven Penetrating Spear technique, the number one spear technique under the heaven. You just toss it away like giving some alms to a nobody. Even I haven't seen the technique yet and you just give it away. If the genius of the Sun Empire heard of this, they would cry blood from their eyes. Just why?"
"Oh! Master, you're that poor. Fine. I'll let you see the complete technique latter. But stop complaining such trifle things. Plus, Crimson Spear has good potential to become a Spear sage, he is not just any beggar to get alms from me." She responded.
"Don't be so sly. Tell me your good reason then I can only calm my already shocked heart."
She answered, "Fine! You old bastard didn't want to help my little brother's messed up meridian but he had a lucky encountered not long ago near the gate because of that Crimson Spear. You have seen it too. Although he kind of bullied my William a bit, nonetheless I bullied him back over fifty fold. Consider himself lucky for helping my brother to have a sudden epiphany and led a good foundation in his spiritual root. That only happen to only few of those elites among all geniuses. Now little William will only raised like a true dragon. "
"Is that all? I think helping him break through to the Yuan Foundation realm is already enough for helping your brother. Why did you gift him the technique?"
"Right! Because he helped my brother in laying his spiritual root William owed him and I saw an invisible Karmic thread linking him and with William. So, giving away such a great gift will only sever the thread. I saw it with my own eyes severing of that thread after I endowed him the technique. It was just a mere technique to me. It's all worth it. My brother didn't owe anything to him anymore. When my William reached my level that time, I'll only link my Karmic thread with him and share my karmic value with him. Got it!"
The old man gulped down a mouthful of the immortal wine and began to laugh like a thunder with no care.
"Haha… That's more like it. I knew it you are not the kind to throw your treasure away carelessly. You are after all the only disciple of me, the Great Immortal Solesky!"
