The great elder and the sect master of black and white holy land pondered what was Rain method was to increase the chance of master warrior reaching Grandmaster. But after seeing Rain taking out 7 divine runes they got an idea of what the method is.
Rain," Great elder, this is the nourishment Divine Rune using this will increase the chance of reaching Grandmaster." For Master Warrior to break through Greatmaster there are three hurdles and most Master Warrior stops at the third hurdle. Not because they cannot cross the hurdle mostly they are afraid to cross the hurdle.
Rain looks at the sect master, he already crossed the first two hurdles but stopped at the third hurdle and his age also makes it difficult to cross the hurdle, " Great elder, the sect master of your holy land is going to break through Grandmaster, right?"
The great elder nodded," Not only him, but I also ordered all the elders to enter close-door cultivation and not come out before they breakthrough Grandmaster. And he is younger than them have the most chance to break through Grandmaster."
Rain smiles," Then Great Elder you know what the nourishment divine rune does?"
Great elder," I know and it will certainly increase the chance but I still want you to become a great elder of our holy land."
Rain thought about how to say nowhere the great elder would not be offended," I also want to join Black and White Holy land but I will not stay in Wutan city more than six months."
Great elder understood the meaning of Rain's words that he wanted to say no and pressuring him to join the Holy Land would do more than good, " Then leave at it." and turned to Hauyi," Go and bring the Grandmaster Practice books from my study."
Rain sighed in relief at the Great Elder agreeing as the sect master went to bring the books. So he handed the seven divine runes to the Great Elder.
Great elder admiring and checking the seven divine runes asks, " Where did you buy the runes? Do you know someone who draws the rune? Then you can introduce us or I can give you money and you acquire the runes for us?"
Rain is overwhelmed by the great elder rabid question and answers," I did not buy the runes."
Great elder hearing Rain answer mind then how he obtained then dawn at him, look at Rain with shock," You draw the divine rune? How is your rate of drawing Divine Runes?"
Rain though why is he asking my drawing rate? Then also he answered the rate he told Xue Lin," My Rate is 1/10." drawing 10 runes and only 1 successful but the truth is he did not fail even once in drawing a divine rune.
The great elder looked more shocked at Rain and thought of a rumor or truth be Rain had a chance to verify, so he stood up," Wait here, I will show you something." without waiting for Rain's response he walked toward his study.
Rain watches in shock at what happened to the Great Elder after hearing his rate of drawing Divine Rune. And watch as the Great Elder enter his study and the sect master comes out of the study holding books.
Sect master walked toward the table put the books in front of Rain at the table and then went to his seat looked toward the study, and then turned to Rain," Grandmaster what happened?"
Rain himself did not know what happened while shaking his head, he replied," I do not know." and looked toward the books and then again at the sect master.
Sect master sees Rain's attention to the Grandmaster's practice book," Grandmaster you can read the books."
Rain nods, " Do need to call me grandmaster. You can call me by my name."
Sect master, " No, No... Great elder hears I call you by name then he will break all my bones."
Rain cannot say anything to this," Then I congratulate next time when we meet you can call me my name."
The sect master first did not understand what Rain told but then it dawned on him, " Thank you." and watched as Rain picked up one of the books.
Rain picks one of the books flips the cover and the first page is written,' Molten Body training', and when he is going to flips to the next page. He hears a shout and looks toward the study. The great elder came out of the study holding a book and then sat on his seat," Read this book first." and forwarded the book toward Rain.
Rain curious looked at the book in the great elder's hand, and thought it did not look like a practice book as a thick book while holding half of his palm.
Rain with curiosity opens the book and the first page, ' Ji Xuan's Journey' Reading this Rain looks at the great elder," This is a travel book."
Great elder," Yes, Read this there is a secret in this book of how to reach the next realm of grandmaster."
Rain was shocked hearing this. And the sect master beside Great Elder," Great elder, really, why do I not know? About the book."
The great elder looks disdainfully at the sect master," The book is no use to you." without paying attention to him, turns to Rain, in his whole life he feels Rain has the chance to create the next realm of Grandmaster. And if he is successful, Rain will always remember the favor of their holy land.
Rain starts reading the book with full attention, he even commands the soul chip to read the book and remind him. If he misses any line or words of the book.
The book starts telling the journey of a master warrior named Ji Xuan as he leaves his home to travel the world and gain experience to break through as a master warrior.
As he read the book he felt the timeline of the book is at least 1000 years. Xia dynasty was founded 900 years ago as he read about the white stone mountain range but the dynasty ruling here is the Lu dynasty.
Which Rain remembers was the former dynasty. And Ji Xuan writes about discontent and rebellion during the times. So he guesses the timeline.
In 100 pages of reading the book, Ji Xuan broke through Grandmaster with Burning artistic conception.
He returned home but he stayed there only for 2 years as his strength slowed down.
So he left home again and wrote that he visited other grandmasters to learn how to practice after reaching the grandmaster.
Reading this Rain learns that the level of understanding of rules does not correspond to the realm of grandmaster. He read further and understood how Grandmasters increased their strength now he even does not need to read the practice book.
Ji Xuan reaches the Grandmaster realm with a burning artistic conception, so he has two choices how to strengthen his body to go to a hotter place or go to a cold place.
There is no Hotter place near him and if there is they are infested with monsters and he knows the colder place.
Crystalsteel mountain range is the mountain range that divides the central region from the southern region and here ice is so cold and hard that its surface is like Crystal and the hardness of Steel.
Ji Xuan crossed the Golden Plain to reach here and started ascetic practice.
He with minimum clothes covering his body and hunting animals lives in the frigid coldness.
He would have died multiple times if he did not understand the rules of burning. Like this, he stays the outer region for 3 years and broke through the 4th rank of grandmaster.
Now the coldness of the outer region does not affect him, so he goes further in-depth of the mountain range, entering the inner region where the air freezes and starts his practice there, where he comes upon 1st rank monster and sometimes he can kill and eat them and sometimes he escapes with his life.
The constant life-and-death situation increased his practice speed and in the 2nd year, he came upon a human settlement.
He was not near them at first and observed them from afar but he was noticed by the people living in the settlement.
And they came to him, Ji Xuan meeting them understood it a settlement for immortal cultivators and grandmasters who came to practice here like him. So he settled in the settlement and the next year he broke through the 7th rank of grandmaster.
He felt confident while the coldness of the inner region was sufficient for his practice he traveled more in-depth of the mountain range.
And there he met his disaster or it can be seen as an opportunity as without it he would have never found out how to reach the next realm of grandmaster.
He came upon a peak 1st-rank ice cobra and he knew no match against it but the snow hindered him from running fast.
He was then bitten by the ice cobra, as the poison entered his body it started to freeze his body from the inside but his burning true energy slowed it down. But he knows he is going to die as his consciousness is slipping and he is unable to escape.
A miracle happens when he opens his eyes the next time he is in his room in the settlement. After checking his body he feels the poison is still there but only momentarily suppressed. Then someone enters his room, the doctor of the camp.
He started speaking about Ji Xuan's situation, that he suppressed the poison with medicine but only for a month, and then the poison would return.
If Ji Xuan wants to stay alive for a long time he has to take medicine but after some years medicine will stop working and he will die. So he tells Ji Xuan to leave the camp and return to his loved one to spend his remaining life.
