Chapter 1274: Chapter 1273: Different Cultivation Methods
Yang Chen glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "There’s no need for me to say more. Anyone over thirty who has not yet reached the Divine Realm should leave on their own accord! If you are over fifty and not yet a Grandmaster, you may also leave. Those who are eliminated and are under thirty will be included in the reserve team. Once you meet the requirements, you can also join... Hmm... let’s call it the Lingyun Team!"
"Yes!" The Yun family members all agreed in unison with cupped hands.
At this moment, on Lingyun Hall, there were few people left.
The three Elder Zus were still there, along with the Clan Leader, Elder Cabinet; none of these people were missing.
Unexpectedly, among the Elders, only three remained.
Among the other Yun family disciples, there were still thirty-five remaining.
Looking at those who were still left, Yang Chen nodded slightly and said solemnly, "From today on, your identities are members of the Lingyun Team. In my team, there is no Clan Leader, no Elder Zu, no distinction between Elder Cabinet and Elders, nor between direct lineage or collateral lineage. There is only the Lingyun Team member! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The Yun family members responded solemnly.
Yang Chen wasn’t satisfied with such a response. There was no momentum, nor was there the demeanor a team should have.
"Additionally!" Yang Chen looked at the Clan Leader, "Entering the Lingyun Team will involve secret training, and your current identities will no longer apply. I hope some of you will think this through."
Upon hearing this, the Clan Leader’s expression changed.
They all understood who Yang Chen was referring to.
Now, the families in Ancheng were no longer existent, and even if they did exist, they wouldn’t be able to create any conflict with the Yun family.
Therefore, it didn’t matter if there were no Elder Cabinets. In fact, the department of the Cabinet itself didn’t need to continue existing. With three fewer Elders, it also didn’t matter.
As for the Elder Zus, they had always been hidden from view, so it didn’t matter much.
As for the other thirty-five Yun family disciples, it was no big deal either. On the contrary, after training, they would become stronger, which was a good thing for the Yun family!
The only issue was the Clan Leader.
He must preside over the overall situation.
If he went to the Lingyun Team, he would have to give up his position as Clan Leader since families like theirs cannot go without a Clan Leader for even a day.
After speaking, Yang Chen stood up and said, "I give you one day to prepare. Tomorrow, I will have someone take over the Lingyun Team completely!"
The Yun family members nodded repeatedly in agreement.
When Yang Chen walked down the steps, the three Elder Zus had already dismissed the crowd.
So when Yang Chen came down, the three Elder Zus stopped him with some questions on their minds.
After all, they had studied the cultivation technique yesterday; many questions lingered in their hearts.
"Your Highness Asura King, we would like to ask about the cultivation technique you provided us with, which only reached the postnatal stage. We are already in the Divine Realm, so..."
Hearing this, Yang Chen smiled slightly and looked at the three and said, "I think you don’t understand the essence of the cultivation technique I provided you. The cultivation technique you currently practice is a martial cultivation technique; even cultivating it to the extreme only reaches the Divine Realm. Beyond that realm, there’s nowhere to go."
The three nodded consecutively. They were at a dead end, so they came to seek guidance from Yang Chen, paying such a heavy price.
"And now, the cultivation technique I provided you, as well as my cultivation method, and even Elder Kun Yao’s cultivation method, are very different from yours. What you practice is martial cultivation, whereas what we practice could be referred to as cultivation or cultivation as cultivators," Yang Chen explained.
The three realized, "Ah, so it’s cultivation as cultivators!"
However, they still had no concept of what cultivation as cultivators entailed.
"As for the postnatal stage... Elder Kun Yao, regarding the levels of cultivation, why don’t you explain it to them?" Yang Chen turned to Kun Yao.
Given his deeper understanding of the differences between martial cultivators and cultivators, Kun Yao was more suited to explain.
Kun Yao nodded and said solemnly, "For cultivators, entry-level is Qi Refining, which is what we call the Postnatal Stage. The Postnatal Stage is divided into three levels: early, middle, and late. The early stage corresponds to the Martial Artist Realm, the middle stage is comparable to the Innate Realm, and the late stage is tantamount to the Martial Arts Realm. Upon reaching the Innate, one steps into the Grandmaster Realm, breathing like a dragon! Mid-stage Innate is equivalent to your martial cultivator’s Divine Realm. As for the late stage, that’s the postnatal stage."
After speaking, Kun Yao looked at the three Elder Zus teasingly.
Sure enough, the three Elder Zus were as confused as Kun Yao had imagined, unable to immediately comprehend what Kun Yao had explained.
After all, they were martial cultivators with hundreds of years of martial cultivation practice, deeply ingrained in all martial cultivation realms, with a clear classification system and a strong sense of hierarchy. Being introduced to a new system made it hard for them to understand.
However, based on Kun Yao’s explanation, they understood some aspects.
Essentially, what cultivators refer to as early-stage Innate is equivalent to the Grandmaster-level martial artists. Mid-stage Innate refers to those experts in the Divine Realm, and late-stage Innate is the realm they strive to exceed in pursuit of the Divine Realm!
Now, they began to understand some facets.
Still, Elder Zu questioned, "So, do we start cultivating directly from the postnatal stage?"
Kun Yao let out a cold laugh and replied mercilessly, "A skyscraper on flat ground or a castle in the air, which do you want to build?"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately understood and expressed their gratitude.
Yang Chen left immediately.
He didn’t stay long in Lingyun Hall, worried about Ye Xin.
When he arrived at the ward, he found that Ye Xin wasn’t in the ward.
Yang Chen immediately found a nurse and asked, "Where is Ye Xin? Where did she go?"
The nurse was startled and quickly responded, "Miss Ye went out with Professor Song to do research."
Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately ran towards the back mountain.
He knew Ye Xin was likely still guilt-ridden and couldn’t shake off the incident.
Soon enough.
Yang Chen arrived at the back mountain.
Running to the edge of the cliff, Yang Chen saw Professor Song and Ye Xin standing on the clad, researching the deep well.
At once, Yang Chen quickly ran down the secret passage and rushed over.
"Ye Xin!" As soon as he emerged from the cave entrance, Yang Chen called out.
Immediately, everyone turned to look at Yang Chen.
"Darling!" Ye Xin spotted Yang Chen and excitedly waved and shouted at him.
This sweet and sappy call of "darling" made everyone around look on with envy.
To be called darling by such a beauty would make anyone, even if faced with immediate death afterward, feel it was worth it!
Ye Xin realized she might have gotten overly excited, saying "darling" without thinking, and her face flushed with embarrassment.
Looking at Ye Xin’s shy demeanor, Yang Chen found it amusing, and his worries settled down.
Seeing Ye Xin in this state, she didn’t seem to be in despair.
Above all, what caught Yang Chen’s attention today was Ye Xin wearing clothes similar to flames, with a long skirt and train, appearing like a stunning beauty from ancient times, full of ancient charm.
