### Chapter 485 – It’s Also Not Good When Your Apprentice Is Too Amazing
“Even though you made significant progress in the Four Beasts Secret Realm, the sudden advancement in your cultivation level might feel a bit hollow. You need to work on solidifying your foundation first before considering cultivating an Yuan Ying!”
“Just like your mental state is equally important. Although you’re a Sword Cultivator, don’t waste your rare mental gifts. Even though I’m a Spellcaster, I do have some knowledge of mental techniques. If you need any advice, feel free to ask.”
“Remember, the Golden Core and Nurturing Nature stages are still just foundations. Only when you reach the Yuan Ying stage and fully integrate your spirit can you truly be considered a master!”
Qin Wushuang put on a show in front of others, seriously advising Yun Zhonghe.
Yun Zhonghe appeared very respectful and listened attentively with all his heart.
“I understand, Master!”
Yun Zhonghe straightened his back and hurriedly declared, “I won’t get complacent; I’ll double my practice tonight and strive to solidify my foundation as soon as possible. I won’t let Master down!”
“…”
As Qin Wushuang looked at Yun Zhonghe’s earnest and determined face, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Actually, you could also take it easy and not be so hard on yourself. Sometimes, it’s good to let loose and enjoy life a bit.
You’re working so hard that you might surpass us in no time.
And Yun Zhonghe is already such a genius and works so hard. It makes it hard for me to feel like a worthy Master.
Could we maybe say, ‘Great job today, take a few days off,’ to remind him not to get carried away?
Being too self-disciplined can be a problem!
Sometimes, having such a brilliant disciple isn’t necessarily a good thing, making the role of a Master somewhat unnecessary.
Especially when Yun Zhonghe is young, he should experience life’s colors and enjoy the bittersweet moments of courtship.
Oh, youth! How precious and irreversible those times are.
Back in the day, I met his father around this age, and then…
Cough, cough. No need to go on; too many memories bring tears.
In conclusion! While cultivation is important, one must also learn to enjoy each moment. Isn’t life itself a form of cultivation?
For example, Qin Hongye is quite nice. Why don’t you try talking to her?
Qin Wushuang was quite confident about his daughter’s looks. Though she had a slightly odd personality, she was an irreplaceable beauty.
By the way, your family doesn’t have a unique technique handed down through generations? If nothing else… Hongye might do the trick; she can handle anything!
Qin Wushuang suddenly got a lot of ideas in his head.
Of course, these were just his thoughts and he wouldn’t say them aloud.
In the end, he cleared his throat and firmly stated, “Right, but remember to take it easy and don’t overwork yourself. Also… be a bit proud, as long as you’re not overly conceited. Geniuses need backbone too!”
Yun Zhonghe nodded repeatedly, taking the teachings to heart.
…
The trials of the Four Beasts Secret Realm finally ended, and Yun Zhonghe reunited with Mu Jixue and the others who had been waiting excitedly.
They were very surprised, never expecting Yun Zhonghe to last the entire three days.
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t explain himself, as he certainly couldn’t admit he couldn’t actively cultivate because he was bound to Mu Jixue and thus unaffected by the spiritual pressure.
At first, Yun Zhonghe felt a little smug, but with the realization of Mu Jixue’s situation, he lost his confidence.
They got their powers without any challenge?!
Why?! This isn’t fair!
Did they inherit their powers just because they were the protagonists?
Thinking about the arduous path he took to gain his own power, Yun Zhonghe suddenly felt melancholic and less happy.
Most importantly, the Azure Dragon’s power didn’t seem that powerful after all.
This must be the difference between being a protagonist and a background character like Huang Hong.
Despite that, Yun Zhonghe knew complaints wouldn’t change anything; as long as the outcome is good, that’s fine.
Mu Jixue and the others had inherited the Divine Beast powers and waited for Yun Zhonghe to come out.
Seeing him safe and sound, they felt relieved and decided to return and meditate.
Yun Zhonghe nodded, feeling he shouldn’t stick around too long.
The disciples who came to congratulate him with soup had complex expressions—amazement, admiration, and jealousy. He left without stirring up trouble.
Before leaving, Yun Zhonghe ran into a few acquaintances.
Little Fox Hu Shang leaped joyfully to offer congratulations.
Then there was Li Yifeng, nodding respectfully, highly impressed by Yun Zhonghe.
He couldn’t enter the realm and felt a bit disappointed, but seeing that the four had obtained the powers of the four divine beasts and Yun Zhonghe had fought for three days, Li Yifeng was speechless with admiration.
He would never reach that level.
Li Yifeng believed Yun Zhonghe and the others deserved to enter the realm.
“But I won’t let you surpass me easily. I’ll push myself harder and catch up.”
After dropping this line, Li Yifeng turned and left.
Witnessing their success only fueled his fighting spirit instead of causing despair.
Li Yifeng was indeed a formidable competitor!
After Li Yifeng left, another person approached Yun Zhonghe.
Cultivated Sword Master Huang Hong, known for combining Confucianism and swordsmanship, approached with a smile.
“Junior Brother Yun, you really caught me off guard. I’m increasingly interested in you.”
With a playful look, he stared at Yun Zhonghe, sending shivers down his spine.
Huang Hong: “I can hardly wait to see your great sword skills.”
Yun Zhonghe thought: Thank you, not right now.
He didn’t share the same interests.
Quickly finding an excuse, he escaped with Mu Jixue and the others.
…
The group of Transformation Gods who had been closely monitoring Yun Zhonghe still couldn’t calm down. Some hadn’t fully accepted the developments.
Qin Wushuang was excited yet strangely melancholic. While the sect produced such an outstanding prodigy, who was also his disciple, he felt a twinge of sadness.
Faking it won’t work anymore!
How embarrassing!
He even added extra hours when lying before, only to be slapped in the face.
Fortunately, his cheeks were thick enough to promptly discard the lie and concoct another.
Otherwise, he might not even be recognized as Yun Zhonghe’s Master.
“Congratulations, Master Qin. The sect has a promising successor.”
Returning to the Master Hall, Substitute Immortal Alliance Leader Mo Xiangsi greeted him with a smile.
Qin Wushuang grinned bitterly, “Prosperous successors, yes, but it’s mostly due to their own excellence, not my guidance.”
Mo Xiangsi smiled, “But it’s precisely because of these excellent heirs that the world becomes more prosperous.”
Qin Wushuang understood Mo Xiangsi’s words. To pave the way for future generations, they needed to solve pressing problems, like the looming suppression of the Demon Path.
It was imperative.
