Chapter 611: Drum Hammer of the Barrel, Flaws in the Sky Soul System
After finishing everything, Ye Xiong looked at Ma Ling’er with a smile.
“Miss Ma, I won’t disturb you any longer today. We’ll meet again another day.”
With that said, Ye Xiong left with his many attendants.
In a moment, the large manor was left only with Chen Changsheng and others.
“Crack!”
Chen Changsheng happily ate the spirit fruits, not noticing the looks the others gave him.
After eating three to five spirit fruits, Chen Changsheng slowed down.
“You all saw what happened. Tell me your feelings.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “Ye Xiong is ruthless and appears fickle, but he is actually very meticulous.”
“That’s quite accurate. Anything else?”
“He seems to be approaching us not just to befriend Yongnian, but also to recruit the Qingyang Sect.”
“From what we can see, he doesn’t seem content with his current state.”
“All these events were to give the Qingyang Sect a warning, but unfortunately, he didn’t anticipate our appearance.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng ate another spirit fruit and said, “Daozun, you’ve fought people from the Four Directions Continent before. Share your thoughts on the Sky Soul System.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, the Ghost Daozun hesitated and said, “The Sky Soul System is powerful, incredibly so.”
“Based on what I learned from Yongnian and my experience fighting Da Yi.”
“I believe the original cultivation method of the Sky Soul System was solely about accumulating spiritual strength.”
“But with the emergence of the Sea of Suffering System, they began to focus more on overall refinement of vitality, spirit, and mind. However, I found a flaw: they don’t emphasize ‘understanding’ enough.”
“The Da Yi who just fought me is in the Lamp of Life Realm, but he doesn’t seem to truly understand the essence of the Lamp of Life Realm.”
“In fact, he doesn’t even understand the true meaning of the Consciousness Realm and the True Self Realm. In other words, he has power but no technique.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea.
“That’s quite accurate. What do you think of Ye Xiong’s strength?”
“It’s strong!”
“Even though I pretended to be weak just now, if we were to fight, I might not win.”
“Judging by the abundance of his vitality, he seems to have already reached the bl**d Transfer Realm, roughly at the same level as me.”
“Oh~”
After finishing the fruit, Chen Changsheng stretched lazily.
Scanning everyone, Chen Changsheng said, “The appearance of the Sky Soul can indeed help cultivators accumulate quickly, but it also means that Sky Soul cultivators may not spend much time studying the true essence of realms.”
“After all, overpowering strength is the easiest and fastest path.”
“This can be seen from the naming of the Sky Soul System; their traditional cultivation method is simply about accumulation.”
“On the contrary, cultivators of the Sea of Suffering System place more emphasis on ‘understanding.'”
“Because whether they are prodigies or ordinary talents, their progress through the first few realms is roughly the same.”
“Even if there are differences, they aren’t significant.”
“To create gaps between individuals, Sea of Suffering cultivators must focus on other aspects.”
“Fountain, Divine Bridge, Beyond the River, Spiritual Sense, True Self, Lamp of Life, bl**d Transfer, Bone Transformation, Rebirth.”
“These eight realms each have their own mysteries. Understanding these mysteries allows you to fight beyond your realm.”
“More accurately, defeating those who have realms but lack understanding.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Xu Yao nodded and said, “No wonder their strength always felt strange; the problem lies here.”
“By the way, sir, what realm comes after Soul Emperor?”
“You don’t need to know that, as the Four Directions Continent will soon use the Sea of Suffering System to measure strength.”
Xu Yao: ???
Reminder: If you can’t find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe the name has changed!

Hearing this, Xu Yao immediately had a puzzled look.
“No, did the Four Directions Continent really abandon the Sky Soul System so easily?”
“Who said the Four Directions Continent abandoned the Sky Soul System? The Sky Soul System never had specific cultivation techniques to begin with. What truly matters is the Sky Soul itself.”
“Do you think the high-ranking officials of the Four Directions Continent don’t know the flaws of the Sky Soul System?”
“They actually knew the flaws long ago but couldn’t find a solution.”
“The emergence of the Sea of Suffering System solved this problem, so they naturally made changes.”
“Besides, the Sea of Suffering System has been around in the Four Directions Continent for over ten thousand years; it’s time for a change.”
“Do you know why they didn’t k*ll me ten thousand years ago?”
“Besides fearing some people, they also wanted me to perfect the integration of the Sky Soul and Sea of Suffering Systems.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Qianjie’s eyes lit up. “Sir, did you tell them?”
“Guess!”
“Told them?”
“Guess again!”
“Not told them?”
“Keep guessing.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s response, Gui Qianjie drooped her little face.
“Just don’t say it then. Why tease me?”
“Teasing you is for your own good. Being in enemy territory, apart from Ling’er and Zhang Zhen, your performances are all subpar.”
“Qianjie, you and Daoran are currently servants.”
“Servants should have the demeanor of servants. What are you acting like spoiled young ladies for?”
“Suyou and Xu Yao’s performances are also lacking.”
“You are attendants, Ling’er’s confidants. Naturally, you should play your roles.”
“But from beginning to end, you haven’t spoken a word. This does not fit your role as confidants.”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s critique, Jian Fei excitedly asked, “Sir, where am I going wrong?”
“Sorry, I forgot about you. You’re qualified too.”
“Because you acted like air, making it easy to overlook you.”
Jian Fei: “…”
I’m just being annoying. Why did I ask him?
Ignoring Jian Fei’s resentful gaze, Chen Changsheng said, “Regardless of how you do it, at the birthday celebration three days later, you must win the top prize.”
“The top prize entitles you to request an item from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. At that time, you must bring back the Drum Hammer of the Barrel.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er curiously asked, “Sir, is the Drum Hammer of the Barrel really that important?”
“The Drum Hammer of the Barrel is a powerful magic treasure. Most importantly, the handle of the Drum Hammer of the Barrel is made from my thigh bone.”
Everyone: “…”
Now I understand.
“Sir, rest assured, we will defeat Ye Xiong and bring back your thigh bone.”
Xu Yao clenched her right fist and confidently said.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng sneered, “Defeat Ye Xiong?”
“You’re being too naive. Yongnian, tell her the truth.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng speak, Jiang Yongnian awkwardly smiled and said, “Ye Xiong is a minor branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”
“His strength and talent are at the bottom among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”
“As rumored, the sect’s top prodigy practices both systems and has already touched the threshold of the Earth Immortal Realm ten years ago.”
Everyone: “…”
What are we fighting for? Our highest realm is only the Bone Transformation Realm.
