    My Divine Diary

    It was another day for Feng Ling to instruct her two disciples atop Stone Peak.

    By now, Feng Cheng had transformed the once-barren summit into a small pavilion. The three of them sat inside, sipping tea while admiring the spring scenery of Yunzhong Valley. The atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable.

    Su Hao took a sip of tea before asking,

    "Master, I've already finished reading every book you found for me. Do you have any more? Those few simply aren't enough."

    Feng Ling hesitated.

    "Well..."

    She looked a little embarrassed.

    "Aren't you already studying Formation Arts with Martial Uncle Feng Yan? Focus on that for now. As for more books... let's talk about it later."

    Su Hao replied calmly,

    "I've already learned most of Formation Arts. Besides, Big Sister Feng Yan is about to enter seclusion, so he won't have time to teach me for a while."

    Feng Ling stared at him.

    "...You've almost finished learning Formation Arts?"

    Su Hao sighed lightly.

    "Master."

    "I'm a genius."

    Beside him, Feng Cheng immediately refilled Su Hao's teacup and nodded vigorously.

    "Master, Senior Brother finished learning almost everything a month ago. That's perfectly normal."

    He looked at Feng Ling earnestly.

    "Master, could you please help Senior Brother find some more books? Even I'm starting to worry he won't have anything left to study."

    Feng Ling turned toward Feng Cheng instead.

    "Feng Cheng..."

    "I've noticed your cultivation has improved tremendously."

    "You're already at the second stage of the Qi Induction Realm. That's much faster than I expected."

    Feng Cheng scratched his head bashfully.

    "That's because Senior Brother is a heaven-defying genius."

    "Hehehe..."

    Feng Ling blinked.

    "Did your Senior Brother teach you?"

    Feng Cheng nodded enthusiastically.

    "Yes!"

    "Senior Brother is incredible!"

    Feng Ling looked completely bewildered.

    "I thought talent was innate."

    "Can talent... actually be taught?"

    Feng Cheng puffed out his chest proudly.

    "That's exactly why I said Senior Brother is a genius."

    "It's perfectly normal for him to accomplish things other people can't."

    He leaned closer and lowered his voice conspiratorially.

    "Oh, Master... I secretly went to see Junior Brother Qin Kefan."

    "...Or rather, he's called Yun Chu now."

    "They all say he's the most talented disciple of the fifty-sixth generation."

    "But he's only at the first stage of the Qi Induction Realm."

    "I've already surpassed him by who knows how much!"

    "If we're ranking everyone, he'd probably only be third now."

    "Hehehe..."

    Then he quickly waved his hands.

    "But don't worry, Master."

    "I have no interest in competing with them."

    "I'd rather quietly cultivate alongside Senior Brother."

    Only then did Feng Ling suddenly realize something.

    These two boys were only fourteen or fifteen years old.

    Moreover...

    They had entered the sect less than a year ago.

    One was already capable of attempting Foundation Establishment.

    The other had already reached the second stage of the Qi Induction Realm.

    What had she herself been doing during her first year in the sect?

    She vaguely remembered still struggling to cultivate Mind.

    Back then...

    She had even believed herself to be a cultivation genius.

    Feng Ling suddenly felt somewhat depressed.

    "The world is changing far too quickly..."

    "I can't keep up anymore..."

    Su Hao leisurely sipped his tea.

    Before he could even set down the cup, Feng Cheng had already refilled it.

    "Master."

    Su Hao looked toward Feng Ling.

    "It's only a few books."

    "Is it really that difficult?"

    Feng Ling sighed helplessly.

    "It's not difficult."

    "As long as you have enough Merit Points, you can copy whatever books you want from the sect's library."

    "But when I broke through to the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I spent all my Merit Points exchanging for Spirit Stones and medicinal pills."

    "So... I simply don't have enough Merit Points right now."

    Su Hao nodded thoughtfully.

    "Then how are Merit Points earned?"

    "By completing sect missions."

    Feng Ling explained patiently.

    "For example, instructors like me receive one hundred Merit Points every two years for teaching disciples."

    "But..."

    She smiled bitterly.

    "...I've already spent this cycle's reward."

    "In another year or so, I'll receive another hundred Merit Points."

    "When that time comes, I'll copy more books for you."

    "A year..."

    Su Hao couldn't help sighing.

    In the end...

    It all came down to being poor.

    He asked again,

    "Apart from completing sect missions, are there any other ways to obtain Merit Points?"

    Feng Ling thought for a moment.

    "You can exchange pills, artifacts, Spirit Stones, and similar valuables."

    She suddenly remembered something.

    "Oh!"

    "In one month's time, the Senior Brother Token Competition will begin."

    "The overall champion receives not only the Senior Brother Token, but also five hundred Merit Points."

    Su Hao had already noticed that more and more disciples had recently returned to Yunzhong Valley.

    Apparently...

    They had all come back for this competition.

    Feng Ling continued,

    "But don't get your hopes up."

    "The winners are basically decided in advance every time."

    Su Hao raised an eyebrow.

    "If it's a competition, how can the winner already be decided?"

    Feng Ling laughed.

    "Every generation has someone universally acknowledged as the strongest."

    "For example, among the Foundation Establishment disciples, everyone agrees that Senior Brother Wu Xing is unmatched."

    "Unless something unexpected happens, this year's Foundation Establishment Senior Brother Token will certainly end up in his hands."

    "So isn't that practically predetermined?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    That interpretation actually made sense.

    If everyone's expectations came true, it would naturally appear predetermined.

    Only if something unexpected happened would the result change.

    Feng Ling continued,

    "The Qi Induction Realm has someone similar."

    "I believe he's from the Yun lineage."

    "He's cultivated for seven years already and is only one step away from Foundation Establishment."

    "He's probably planning to break through immediately after obtaining the Senior Brother Token."

    Su Hao cared much more about the five hundred Merit Points than the title itself.

    Waiting another month wasn't a problem.

    Besides...

    He was also curious about this Senior Brother Token.

    "Master."

    "Can I participate?"

    Feng Ling smiled.

    "Interested?"

    "I've been interested before too."

    "But I know my own limits."

    "I'd probably be eliminated after only two rounds."

    "Every disciple in the sect is eligible."

    "So naturally, you can participate as well."

    She looked at him seriously.

    "But don't expect too much."

    "Even if you're a genius, you've only been cultivating for less than a year."

    "Perhaps one day you'll surpass all of them."

    "But right now..."

    "...winning is impossible."

    Before Su Hao could respond, Feng Cheng immediately protested.

    "Master!"

    "You really don't understand Senior Brother's talent at all!"

    Feng Ling suddenly felt as though her authority as a master had long since disappeared.

    In front of these two disciples...

    She was beginning to doubt whether she was the teacher or the student.

    Su Hao simply asked,

    "Master, then please help me sign up."

    Feng Ling laughed.

    "There's no need."

    "When the competition begins, each of the six lineages—Yun, Yue, Feng, Yu, Chen, and Xi—will set up its own arena."

    "Anyone may challenge."

    "The preliminary matches last for one day until each lineage produces a champion."

    "Three days later, the six champions compete against one another."

    "The final victor receives the Senior Brother Token."

    After thinking for a moment, Su Hao asked,

    "Master..."

    "If I actually win..."

    "Will it cause trouble for you?"

    Feng Ling sighed deeply.

    "You really think you can win..."

    She couldn't help wondering whether Feng Cheng had been right all along.

    Perhaps...

    She truly understood nothing about geniuses.

    Not only their cultivation speed...

    Even the way they thought was completely different from ordinary people.

    After a moment's silence, she finally answered,

    "If you really obtain the Senior Brother Token..."

    "...it would certainly attract a great deal of attention."

    "But as long as you don't break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

    "...it shouldn't affect me very much."


    ---

    After Feng Ling left, Su Hao beckoned toward Feng Cheng.

    "Junior Brother Feng Cheng."

    "Come here."

    "Let me check your cultivation progress."

    Feng Cheng obediently walked over and extended his wrist.

    Su Hao drew a trace of Blood Energy and carefully examined it.

    After a while, he smiled.

    "Junior Brother."

    "Your aptitude is genuinely excellent."

    "You have every chance of becoming an immortal."

    Feng Cheng grinned broadly.

    "It's all thanks to Senior Brother's guidance."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Keep cultivating."

    "Reach the second stage of Qi Induction as soon as possible."

    "When you do..."

    "I'll teach you a method that will let you enter the third stage far faster than anyone else."

    "You'll leave every disciple of your generation far behind."

    Feng Cheng's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

    Now that Su Hao had completely understood the Qi Induction Realm, he had begun modifying the Yunzhong Spiritual Technique according to his own ideas.

    His plan was to let Feng Cheng cultivate the revised version first.

    In Su Hao's opinion...

    Was it really necessary for the third stage of the Qi Induction Realm—Storage—to accumulate spiritual energy inside the meridians?

    Not necessarily.

    The ultimate purpose of the Qi Induction Realm was simply to establish the foundation for a new life cycle.

    If that was the goal...

    Wouldn't a simpler structure be better?

    "Why not borrow the principle of a Möbius strip..."

    "...and directly construct a continuously circulating spiritual energy loop?"

    "Hmm."

    "I'll let Feng Cheng try cultivating it first."

    "If anything goes wrong..."

    "I'll simply save him."

    "Nothing much to lose."

    As for what would happen after Feng Cheng reached the Foundation Establishment Realm...

    Su Hao didn't concern himself with it at all.

    "He hasn't reached Foundation Establishment yet."

    "We'll deal with it when the time comes."

    "It's not a big problem."

    One couldn't help but wonder...

    If Feng Cheng ever learned that his dependable Senior Brother regarded him as the first test subject for an entirely new cultivation method...

    Would he still trust Senior Brother Feng Wei so completely?
