Some profound cultivation techniques involved the operation of some laws of nature.
Therefore, the more one cultivated, the more affected one would be.
It was very normal for a person's temperament to change.
For example, some deviant and crazy cultivation techniques could easily make a person fall into a crazy state.
It was normal for a person's temperament to become gloomy when cultivating this kind of cultivation technique. Even more serious, it could even change a person's perception.
More serious was that some cultivation techniques had a lot of secret terms and terminology.
Thus, some profound cultivation techniques were actually very dangerous.
Without the guidance of a Master step by step, it was extremely easy for a person to deviate.
This was also a big disadvantage of vagabond cultivators. They could only rely on themselves to explore without a guide on the path of cultivation.
Fortunately, the Human Emperor Scripture that Zhou Feng cultivated was created so that every human could cultivate it.
There weren't so many secret messages and twists and turns in it. As long as they followed the steps, they could form the Human Emperor Body step by step.
'He's not here yet?'
Zhou Feng looked around, but he didn't see Wang Shu.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't stand in the arena like a fool. As such, he found a shady place to cool down.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhou Feng took a small bench out of his storage ring.
He found a tree shade and sat on the small bench, waiting for Wang Shu to arrive.
Big Yellow was also very obedient, directly lying at his feet.
"What's going on? Where's Wang Shu?"
"It can't be that he doesn't dare to come! I heard that this Wang Shu is a good-for-nothing, and he hasn't even had a few official fights!"
"What? Doesn't this mean that Zhou Feng will definitely win this duel!"
"I'm not sure, but no matter what, Wang Shu is still a member of the Wang Clan. Although the Wang Clan has declined, they still have some foundation!"
Wang Shu hadn't arrived yet, so some of the people who had come to watch the show had unhappy expressions on their faces.
This Wang Shu was really ostentatious. He actually made so many people wait for him.
In reality, Wang Shu could afford to be late. He was at a critical juncture, a step away from breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.
Although the Wang Clan had fallen from being a top clan in Heavenly Star City to being a second-rate clan, their former enemies didn't dare to lay a hand on them. A large part of the reason was that the Wang Clan possessed a thousand-year-old ancient medicine.
Moreover, this thousand-year-old ancient medicine had even nurtured a spirit.
Every 20 years, it would produce ancient medicine essence, which could help a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator break through to the Purple Mansion realm.
Generally speaking, as long as one's aptitude wasn't particularly bad, with the assistance of this ancient medicine essence, one would be able to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.
However, there was a flaw in this breakthrough. Relying on the ancient medicine essence to condense one's nascent soul wouldn't help one unlock their innate divine ability.
In order to unlock one's innate divine ability, one had to rely on their hard work.
This meant the person who relied on the essence of the ancient medicine to break through to the Purple Mansion realm was far inferior to the other normal Purple Mansion cultivators.
One could not be compared to cultivators of the same level without innate divine abilities.
One could only bully Soul Altar cultivators.
For example, the other top clans also had similar things to the Wang Clan's thousand-year-old ancient medicine.
This was their foundation. They could maintain a clan and not suddenly decline. They could still survive this generation and look forward to the rise of the next generation.
"Aunt! What do you think I should do now?"
Li Rong was in a private room. Her expression was extremely hesitant. It seemed like she wanted to do something, but she did not have the courage.
Her jade-like fingers kept twirling in circles, causing her dress to wrinkle.
"What do you mean?" Li Maya was stunned. It was obvious that she did not know what Li Rong was thinking.
Then, she looked at the extremely conflicted Li Rong and instantly understood what Li Rong wanted to say.
"When two people get together, feelings can be slowly nurtured. When he becomes your husband, then slowly nurture feelings!"
Li Manya didn't know how to answer what Li Rong wanted to ask. After all, if she were to be serious, Li Manya didn't have any feelings.
When the clan had wanted to arrange her marriage back then, Li Manya had expressed her resistance.
Then, she broke through to the Purple Mansion realm in one go, causing the clan to step back temporarily.
In the end, after breaking through to the Divine Ability realm, the clan stopped pestering Li Manya.
This was because the clan could no longer restrict a Divine Ability cultivator.
If Li Rong wanted to ask Li Manya for help on matters of the heart, Li Manya really didn't have anything to teach.
As for the issue of Li Rong and Zhou Feng not having any feelings for each other, this was not a problem at all. There were many marriages between large clans in Heavenly Star City, and both men and women did not know each other in the past. After getting married, they would all start developing feelings. Anyway, things like love could be slowly cultivated.
The most important thing was to get married first. This was the consensus of most people in this world. As long as both parties had a connection, wouldn't it be easy to develop feelings?
Humans were the most easily affected by emotions.
"Ah, this… Alright!"
When Li Rong heard her aunt's words, she could only let go of the anxiety in her heart.
However, after a while, Li Rong began to worry about whether Zhou Feng could win this battle.
"Aunt, do you think that people will discover it if you make a move?"
That's right! For the sake of Li Rong's happiness, Li Manya had already planned to help Zhou Feng secretly.
Because compared to Zhou Feng, Wang Shu was a bad choice. However, the Li Elders did not care so much. After all, the future son-in-law would marry into the Li Clan.
Their Li Clan would not rely on such a son-in-law.
Li Rong needed to get married as soon as possible, not giving the other large clans the chance to seek them for a marriage alliance so as to prevent the Li Clan from being dragged into the mess.
To be honest, if it weren't for this battle that had caused the entire city to be in turmoil, the Li Elders would have picked Wang Shu to marry Li Rong.
"It's fine. No one will notice that I've secretly done something. Besides, speaking of that brat Zhou Feng, he doesn't seem to be that simple!
"It's still uncertain who will win or lose this duel!"
Li Manya once again observed Zhou Feng.
That enormous, fiery ball of Blood Qi was like a sun in Li Manya's perception.
This sort of power most likely could hold its own against a Purple Mansion cultivator!
While Li Rong and Aunt Li Manya were secretly discussing, Wang Shu finally appeared. His entrance was much grander than Zhou Feng's.
"He's here! He's here!"
"Is that a dragon-drawn carriage? What a grand display!"
"There are so many maids scattering flowers?"
"Wait! This aura… Has Wang Shu broken through? That's impossible!"
"…"
Wang Shu's entrance was extremely grand and majestic.
A Dragon Horse was pulling the carriage decorated with gold-plated exotic beast patterns, and there were precious pearls from the Southern Sea hanging on the four corners.
There were also some maids sprinkling flower petals around the carriage, and a refreshing fragrance assailed everyone's nostrils.
The most eye-catching thing was the unconcealed aura of the carriage's owner.
Purple Mansion realm!
Wang Shu had broken through to the Purple Mansion realm!
