The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 844: Worth Dying!

Worth Dying! . . .

Completing this task was deemed impossible, and for good reason!

If someone had, just as Cha Eun Xiao had now...

If the sect's founding ancestor were aware, he might well have risen from his tomb and exclaimed, "Good gracious! Truly? Someone has actually achieved it? A human?"

Indeed, Cha Eun Xiao had achieved it perfectly.

The three venerable masters continued to infuse energy into Cha Eun Xiao's body. Normally, it would take him nearly ten hours to recover and regain consciousness, yet he roused himself after just a few breaths. Upon awakening, he promptly embarked on the next challenge in the training!

As Cha Eun Xiao woke up, he silently wished he could remain in a coma for a longer duration. There was no respite once the training commenced; there existed only the prospects of death or failure. Cha Eun Xiao had to persevere while gritting his teeth.

During the first two months, Cha Eun Xiao felt clear and rapid improvement in various aspects—his physical condition, mindset, willpower, and cultivation.

Curiously, his cultivation did not exhibit significant progress. Instead, his spiritual power grew increasingly pure and potent. What he had previously perceived as purity in his dantian now seemed inadequate, and it was steadily becoming even purer. Even an unnoticed impurity had been expelled.

Many issues that had seemed insurmountable were resolved during this special training.

Although his status might not remain unchanged, by the end of the training, he would possess an exceptionally strong and broad cultivation foundation that would remain unaffected by impurities.

This outcome was beyond what Cha Eun Xiao had ever imagined, and he was genuinely excited about it.

The special training was undeniably grueling, but Cha Eun Xiao now appreciated its immense value.

In the course of those three harrowing months, he had embarked on a path toward becoming a true super genius.

In the annals of history, only one person had ever flawlessly completed the three months of training: Cha Eun Xiao, or as he might now be called, Cha Chongxiao.

...

The sun shone brightly on a clear day as Lei Dadi, Feng Wuying, and Yun Piaoliu sat around a table, wearing broad smiles.

It was a day for jubilation, a day filled with joy.

Their disciple, Cha Chongxiao, had officially triumphed over the last challenge of the three-month training regimen.

Three months.

Ninety days.

Every single task within the training, Cha Eun Xiao had executed flawlessly, often exceeding expectations.

This was indeed an epic record in the history of the Qing-Yun Realm.

The sole individual in history to accomplish such a feat was Cha Chongxiao.

"We must drink as much as we can! I am absolutely delighted!" declared Lei Dadi, raising his liquor-filled cup and laughing heartily. "I have never been this happy in my entire life. I dare say this is a joy worth dying for! Even if I should meet my end in a drunken stupor, I shall do so with a smile!"

"The most exceptionally gifted genius in history is, in fact, my disciple! I've imparted all my knowledge to him!" Yun Piaoliu was elated. "As our elder brother remarked, I would gladly embrace such a fate!"

"Wu Fa! You're in for it now! You're about to relinquish your position as the number one cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm!" Feng Wuying grinned as he poured a bowl of liquor onto the floor. "Changtian, I believe we're on the verge of avenging you! For a century, the three of us have shouldered the burden of our failure to avenge you. We've been unable to face you down there, but now we can! We will face you with pride and honor!"

Lei Dadi and Yun Piaoliu sighed upon hearing him.

Cha Eun Xiao, on the other hand, continued eating, but he couldn't shake his worry.

During his time with the three old grandmasters, he had realized that every time they infused energy into his body, they were depleting their life force.

Their lives were slipping away uncontrollably.

For ninety days straight, every day, the three grandmasters labored tirelessly to enhance his body three times over. Using their Dao Origin Stage abilities and precise control, they meticulously refined each of his muscles.

It was a monumental undertaking, requiring an enormous expenditure of their energy.

Nevertheless, they gave it their all each time.

Though Cha Eun Xiao felt as if he were traversing the depths of hell each time, he recognized that the three grandmasters were making sacrifices for his sake. As long as he could endure it, a promising future awaited him.

The three old men were selflessly giving of themselves.

Yet they never voiced any complaints, nor did they hold anything back.

They didn't even disclose the extent of their sacrifice to Cha Eun Xiao, even after the training was completed.

Evidently, the three grandmasters didn't wish for Cha Eun Xiao to bear the weight of this knowledge.

If Cha Eun Xiao had truly been as weak as his cultivation level suggested, he might never have discovered the truth. However, he wasn't weak, and he fully understood their contributions.

It was their sacrifices that had paved the way for him to leave the Qing-Yun Realm for the higher realm—a bridge to a brighter future.

"Let's dispense with the unnecessary chatter. Back to cultivation—your three-month training is complete, and we're quite pleased with your performance," Lei Dadi said, nonchalantly taking a sip of liquor. "So, we've decided to keep you here for another month. You must become well-versed in all the martial arts and skills of our sect. Even though you can ultimately select any martial art you prefer, you must first acquaint yourself with them to make an informed choice. Only the martial art that resonates with your instincts is truly the best fit for you."

"After this upcoming month, the training will be truly complete. Don't misunderstand us. Don't think we're shirking our responsibility. Masters can only guide you in a particular direction. It is your own effort that will propel you to greatness. We've done everything we can, and we will continue to help in every way."
