Chen Wanyun and the rest got a big kick out of it and Si Yunxiang also couldn’t accept it.

Qin Mu felt that it was not because they were too stupid but because Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was too clever.

For an incomparable talent that appeared once every five hundred years, he could understand any logic with just one explanation and one hint. He didn’t even need others to guide him and he could naturally comprehend numerous reasons.

However, other people didn’t have his heaven-defying comprehension.

There was a huge gap even between the talents. Even though Chen Wanyun and the rest were talents of one in ten thousands with outstanding aptitudes or outstanding comprehension, they were far inferior when compared to a monster that appears once every five hundred years whose aptitudes and comprehension were the first in the world.

Things that Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor thought were simple actually needed them to calm down and comprehend.

The difference in talent between Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and them was literally heaven and earth!

”Take Green Dragon Vital Qi as an example, do you think Green Dragon Vital Qi is really the wood attribute?”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor guided them patiently, ”Have you seen a real green dragon? I have and the green dragon I saw could control the wind and lightning, fire and water, not just the wood attribute. Moreover, what’s wood attribute? If you hug a plank and bite it twice, is that wood attribute? Don’t assume Green Dragon Vital Qi has the wood attribute just because there’s a green word in green dragon. If you assume that way, you really have a wooden-head.”

Everyone was given another blow and even Qin Mu felt a sense of setback.

Even he who was ’learned’ had thought Green Dragon Vital Qi was the wood attribute, but thinking about it now, there was no trace of wood attribute when Old Ma executed Green Dragon Vital Qi, instead, there was wind and lightning interweaving.

Looked like there was indeed somewhat deviation from what he knew. Without Imperial Preceptor pointing it out, he would probably continue having the misconception.

”There are actually many techniques for Five Elements Divine Treasure that you can learn from, some of them are specialized in opening the battle power of Five Elements Divine Treasure.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said, ”The battle power of Five Elements Realm is very astonishing but it’s also fine if you can’t cultivate it. It won’t affect you in breaking through other divine treasures. You will only be slightly weaker in the future. But this slight gap would gradually magnify as you grow and the more divine treasure you open, the larger the gap will become.”

He drew two triangles in the sky. One had a smaller angle on the top and the other had a bigger angle on the top. He then drew six horizontal lines in the triangle and said, ”Each of the seven lines in the picture represents the power of each realm. The second line is the Five Elements Realm. If you don’t cultivate properly, the second line would be a little shorter than others, then the third line would be much shorter. When you reach the bottom of the triangle which is the Divine Bridge Realm. At that time, you will be shorter than the others by a whole chunk and the difference in power is literally halved. If the opponent wants to kill you, he just needs one or two moves.”

His example was very direct and shook them.

Two people who clearly didn’t have much difference in Spirit Embryo Realm and Five Elements Realm actually had such a huge gap between them when they cultivated to Divine Bridge Realm. There were not many people who actually thought about this point and only cared about raising their cultivation realm.

Si Yunxiang suddenly asked, ”What’s Imperial Preceptor’s line? Compared to the other cult masters of Divine Bridge Realm, how big is your angle?”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor drew a straight line in the sky and said indifferently, ”I’m this. No matter how strong other people’s cultivation is, their angle will always be smaller than mine.”

He dared to say so because of his heaven-defying aptitudes and comprehension.

He practically had no shortcomings.

Other people were seven parallel lines while his was seven lines overlaying each other, which was much stronger than others.

”You can take reference from the techniques that are related to Five Elements Divine Treasure in Floor of Heavenly Record, such as Minutes of Suppressing Stars written by Elder Ru Xuanqin, Struggle of the Five Phases written by Monk Yuan Kong, and also Five Laws of Jupiter written by Duke Wei, Five Vitals of Military Discipline by General of Heavenly Strategies. After reading all of them, you will build a strong foundation for your Five Elements Realm.”

These people he had mentioned were the first-ranking high officials of the current imperial court. Elder Xuanqin was a woman who held the appointment as the grand tutor of the crown prince. Monk Yuan Kong held the appointment as Grand Marshall and there was no need to mention about Duke Wei. General of Heavenly Strategies was the head of the reputable Qin Family.

These few people that were either born from aristocratic families or well known, were all cult master level existences that had reached the Divine Bridge Realm.

Everyone hurriedly memorized the names of the techniques down.

Chen Wanyun felt a little contradictory. He had planned to enter Six Directions Realm directly after this experience but after listening to Imperial Preceptor’s words, he made up his mind to continue suppressing his realm. He would only break the Six Directions Wall after he returned to Imperial College and strengthened his foundation.

Qin Mu was stunned. He suddenly thought of some techniques in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures which were specially used for cultivating Five Elements Divine Treasure.

There was a wide array of techniques in Great Education Heavenly Devil Scriptures and most of the techniques didn’t look too intricate and couldn’t be considered top-notch techniques. These techniques were usually imparted to the disciples.

Almost all the techniques and divine arts in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures were imparted out and weren’t kept away because of its value. However, they were some techniques that were difficult to understand and were easy to cultivate wrongly, therefore they carried the reputation as a devil cult.

Qin Mu originally didn’t further study these techniques, but after Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor’s pointers, he instantly came to realize, wasn’t the techniques that seemed standalone in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures the secret to cultivation?

These techniques that seemed scattered and not powerful didn’t only consist of the method to cultivate Five Elements Realm. There were probably the techniques for Six Directions Realm, Seven Stars Realm and even Celestial Being, Life and Death, and Divine Bridge!

These techniques were learned by each hall master of Heavenly Devil Cult before imparting down to the followers and thus formed the three hundred and sixty halls!

Qin Mu had treated these techniques as weak and didn’t incorporate them into Unity Technique. Now the unintentional words from Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had instead pointed out a clear path to him.

”Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique has technique but no skills. It has inadequacies. But it might just be a perfect combination if combining it with Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.”

Qin Mu was filled with excitement and immediately comprehended the cultivation methods of Five Elements Realm. These five methods were Saturn Sovereign’s Earth Marquis True Technique, Jupiter Sovereign’s Wood Marquis True Technique, Mercury Sovereign’s Water Marquis True Technique, Mars Sovereign’s Fire Marquis True Technique and Venus Sovereign’s Gold Marquis True Technique.

Not long after, he started to try to merge these five true techniques into the Five Elements Realm’s technique of Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.

Yue Qinghong and the rest were consulting sword skills from Imperial Preceptor and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor chatted as they walked, saying everything that he knew. However, before they could comprehend it, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had already moved to the next point, which vexed them.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor’s explanation wasn’t considered fast. It was just hard for them to comprehend immediately and had to spend the time to slowly comprehend it. However, they didn’t dare to clarify it as they were afraid they would be once again crowned as the lousiest class.

After Yue Qinghong had consulted him about sword skills, Monk Yun Que asked him about Buddhist skills. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor also had attainments on Buddhist skills and had entered Great Thunderclap Monastery before to consult Old Rulai. His speech naturally was like a deluge of heavenly flowers.

After Yun Que had consulted him, Chen Wanyun asked him about the fusion of sword skills and battle techniques. After he cultivated with Chancellor Ba Shan for a period of time, Chancellor Ba Shan had imparted Seven Ways of the Hegemon to him and also gave him pointers on the cultivation of his sword skills, thus Chen Wanyun had walked down the path of cultivating both knife and sword.

Si Yunxiang also consulted Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor some questions on cultivation and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor paid more attention to her, explaining in detail and slightly more than others.

When Si Yunxiang followed the young patriarch to cultivate, she had met him a few times and got his pointers in the past.

The wolf slave hesitated for a moment and puckered up his courage to consult knife skills from him.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor took a look at him and asked, ”Warrior of Wolf Store Country?”

The wolf slave nodded his head in anxiousness.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was unconcerned and said, ”Education is for everyone, irrespective of background, I don’t care what race you are.” After he had said that, he gave him pointers for his sword skills and didn’t hide anything he knew, not stopping before he had said it through.

Not long after, everyone fell silent as they were comprehending his words without a sound.

Even though Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor didn’t say much, it was enough for them to comprehend for a while.

”Imperial Preceptor, have you studied demon cultivation before?” Hu Ling’er broke the silence as she asked him on dragon qilin’s head.

Eternal Peace shook his head, ”Never did.”

Hu Ling’er’s eyes lighted up and said with a crisp voice, ”I can teach you!” She looked very serious.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor also asked seriously, ”May I ask for your guidance?”

Hu Ling’er told him about what she had learned through cultivation and told him about the knowledge she had learned from the collection of books from Surging River Dragon Palace. She even told him about Spirit Creation Technique which was mixed with her own comprehension.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor listened silently and when Hu Ling’er was finished, he suddenly asked, ”The demon race has no divine treasure? Hearing about what you have learned through cultivation, there was no cultivation related to divine treasure.”

Hu Ling’er shook her head and replied, ”We don’t, therefore we have to work hard to cultivate to a human form. Once we have a human form, we would be a demon king which is very powerful!”

”I’ve also seen a few demon kings before and they indeed have unusual abilities.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said, ”The spirit techniques you mentioned earlier to change your form was very interesting. This technique seems to have countless changes.”

He explained Spirit Creation Technique in detail and Hu Ling’er became more and more enthralled. When Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was done, she then came back to her senses and cried out in astonishment, ”I said just now that I wanted to teach you, how did it become your teaching me?”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said, ”We teach each other.”

”En!” Hu Ling’er nodded her head heavily.

The dragon qilin under her butt snorted and rolled his eyes.

At this moment, lights actually appeared in the sky which flew towards them. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor took a look and his gaze landed on Qin Mu’s body.

Those lights gathered and entered Qin Mu’s body from the top of his head. More and more lights appeared and gradually turned into a slender flow of light that had a fire red color.

Hu Ling’er gave a touch and a tuft of fur on her paw was burned. She immediately pulled back her paw.

Not long after, Qin Mu’s aura increased exponentially and flames poured out from his body, surrounding him like fire clouds.

Hu Ling’er was still astonished when she heard two popping sounds as two bull horns grew out from his head. His nostrils started to gradually rise and pushed outwards, spewing out two trails of white smoke which carried flames.

Hu Ling’er cried out in astonishment and heard two cracking sounds as the bones in Qin Mu’s bone transformed bizarrely. His thighs became thicker and his body also grew taller. His muscles started bulging outwards and flame markings covered his entire body. A bull’s eye popped out on his forehead right at the heart of his brows.

Hu Ling’er then saw a bull’s tail drooping down behind Qin Mu’s buttocks which had also become larger, looking like the large and firm buttocks of a bull. His tail whipped twice on the firm buttocks which she reckoned was very painful!

”Imperial Preceptor…”

Hu Ling’er was stunned for a moment before turning her head to tell Imperial Preceptor, ”My young master has revealed his true form! His true form! He’s not a fox demon, he’s a bull demon!”
