Chapter 424: Envy

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

What Madam Sang had said wasn’t wrong at all: He hadn’t yet cultivated for ten thousand years; he had an incredibly high comprehension of the world; and he was from a material world. All of this most likely implied that he was a Material Realm Lord.

“I was just fortunate.” Xue Ying laughed, naturally admitting it.

“A Material Realm Lord? He’s truly a Material Realm Lord?” The surrounding Deities that had passed the selections were all startled and looked at Xue Ying enviously. The red-haired male with half a mask was also looking at him with a complex expression, as if he couldn’t be jealous. Even Seventh Mei Yu, who had an extremely high status, looked toward Xue Ying in shock. He uncontrollably blurted out, “I’m truly envious of Brother Dong Bo.”

“Hahaha…”

Patrol Master Guan laughed and then sighed. “Young friend Dong Bo, you truly know how to make others both admire and feel envious of you! For you to have attained such great combat power despite being so young, it’s alright to say that your future is incredibly bright. Even I’m envious of the fact that you’re a Material Realm Lord! I’d be willing to exchange all of my treasures and my position as the commander of the Starfield Patrol Army if it meant I could become a Material Realm Lord myself. It’s a pity that it’s impossible for me to do so!”

“Patrol Master Guan, even if you’re born from a material world, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll become a Material Realm Lord.” The black-robed General Tu said, “As within the Material World, there aren’t many powerful ancestral Deities. As for Demigod Transcendents? Their sensitivity toward the law of the world is akin to half a scale and half a claw; pointers from someone else could even make your path of cultivation even harder at that level.”

Xue Ying nodded when he heard this

General Tu was right.

The higher one’s realm, the more one understood. However, it was tough to give pointers during one’s cultivation unless one was a powerful existence who’d long transcended beyond the Laws of the World! Pointers from them were targeted directly at the very essence of one’s cultivation. As for when he’d still been young and Si Kong Yang and the others had been teaching him…though it might have been fine to ordinary Transcendents, they had still ended up misleading him!

However, no one could them. They had merely been Demigods at that point in time; thus, their comprehension of the Laws of the World were truly too shallow.

“The difficulty of reaching the peak of the Deity realm within ten thousand years without a teacher—by having to ponder and comprehend everything on your own… is truly too difficult.” The black-robed old man sighed.

“Everything has both Yin and Yang.” The beautiful lady said from above, “Even though cultivating without a good teacher’s mentorship might be tough, the moment that one does become a Material Realm Lord, they can simply learn an avatar technique and leave one of their body’s in the Material World while the other goes out and adventures. Even if a World Deity is more powerful, he can’t possibly kill a Material Realm Lord.”

“Mn.”

Everyone present was truly envious.

That was right. Nobody beneath the realm of being a powerful existence could possibly kill a Material Realm Lord. Even those with extremely high combat power close to that of a powerful existence—stage four World Deities—could at most kill one of the Material Realm Lord’s avatar. However, their true body would still be safe and sound in their homeworld.

One had to realize just how few powerful existence truly existed throughout the entire Deity World.

Even trying to offend a powerful existence was extremely difficult.

One would usually be afraid of offending powerful enemies while adventuring through the Deity World, lest they carelessly offend an existence with a terrifying background. However, being a Material Realm Lord meant that they’d have the existence of a protective talisman capable of making others think twice about killing someone that couldn’t truly die! A Material Realm Lord could adventure through the Deity World without having to be afraid of death, allowing them to reap huge treasures.

“Truly enviable.” Everyone present was incredibly envious of him!

There were both advantages and disadvantages to being born in the Deity World versus being born in the Material World.

The strength of the World Energy in the Deity World was much more vigorous, which meant that one could become a Transcendent much more easily. Furthermore, those with great innate talent could easily gain the guidance of powerful seniors, to the extent of even being received as disciples under some powerful World Deities. All World Deities had at least comprehended a grade one Deity Heart; thus, their guidance would be a huge boon if one could obtain it. With it, cultivating would be ten to a even a hundred times easier.

As for those born in a material world? They’d have to rely on themselves for everything! To become a peak-level Deity by oneself within ten thousand years was incredibly hard. However, even if one didn’t become a Material Realm Lord, it was still much safer to cultivate in a material world, as there weren’t nearly as many Deity-level experts.

Both had their pros and cons.

“Brother Dong Bo, have you cultivated an avatar technique?” Seventh Mei Yu suddenly asked from next to him.

Everyone reacted differently when they heard his question. Patrol Master Guan immediately asked, “Young friend Dong Bo, this isn’t your true body, is it?”

“I’ve indeed cultivated an avatar technique.” Xue Ying didn’t feel the need to conceal anything and nodded.
