But seeing the solemn expressions of these two demonesses, it’s clear that they are sincere.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan nodded and said, "I won’t interfere much in other matters. You and my brother Chuyi are together, and matters of emotion in the future are unpredictable. In these times, lovers break up, couples split. But there is one rule for you to remember: Chuyi is my friend. Even if one day your feelings change, I won’t interfere.
But if you dare harm Chuyi, at the ends of the earth, I will hunt you down, flay you, and make you vanish into ashes!"
The two demonesses looked solemn: "We have no ulterior motives!"
"Alright, let’s talk about the serious matter." Chen Yan sighed, "The Heavenly Dao has its decrees, humans and demons are ultimately on different paths. Mortals cannot endure prolonged exposure to demonic qi, so you are destined to find it difficult to stay together for long."
Huang Ling’Er’s face darkened: "If I could cultivate to the legendary Celestial Human Realm... but that goal is too elusive..."
Chen Yan shook his head: "You are also a cultivator, so you should know that this world has no possibility of achieving a Realm-Breaking Celestial. Furthermore, even if you could cultivate to the Celestial Human Realm, you are currently only at the Guiyuan Realm, right? Above that is the Ascension Realm. And after the Ascension Realm is the Great Tier’s Celestial Tribulation!
Even if you are a prodigy who can pass the tribulation, break this world’s Heavenly Dao restrictions, become a Realm-Breaking Celestial...
How many years will that take? Fifty years? A hundred years? By that time, Chuyi will have already turned into a coffin."
Huang Ling’Er’s face darkened further and said, "I also know that hoping for me to become a Realm-Breaking Celestial is simply impossible. Besides, there’s my disciple Tu Cuicui, whose talent is average and has only recently transformed, reaching the ’Inner Room Realm’."
Chen Yan looked at the two demonesses with a peculiar smile on his face: "So you actually already have a plan in your heart, which is why you let Chuyi come down the mountain to ask me for help. You knew I have a good relationship with Chuyi, so you let him ask me, thinking I would soften because of him, right?"
Huang Ling’Er lowered her head and said softly: "I dare not hide from the senior, my disciple and I indeed have such thoughts."
Chuyi listened with a bewildered expression, only reacting after a while, and looked at Huang Ling’Er: "Ah, my brother means that you actually have thought of a solution long ago, right?"
Chen Yan patted Chuyi’s shoulder: "She knows the solution, but this solution requires my help; she can’t do it."
"What, what solution?"
Chen Yan looked at Huang Ling’Er with a smile.
Huang Ling’Er slowly said: "Since we can’t count on my disciple and me to become Realm-Breaking Celestials to eliminate the demonic qi, we can only find a way for Wang Lang to enter the Dao! As long as he can cultivate successfully, even if it’s just to the lowest ’Inner Room Realm,’ he can attract the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body and use the Essence Nourishing to nourish his flesh.
With Primordial Qi entering the body constantly nourishing, he will have a Dao body and will no longer need to worry about the intrusion of demonic qi."
Chen Yan nodded: "That’s right, that’s the method. But you are demon cultivators, and the cultivation techniques you practice are not suitable for humans. Moreover, you don’t understand human cultivation techniques. This world, the Heavenly Dao is ruthless, and cultivation is difficult. There are very few truly successful cultivators, and it is hard for you to find human cultivation techniques.
Fortunately, I’m a cultivator standing before you, so you have targeted me, haven’t you?"
Huang Ling’Er’s expression tightened: "Senior divine insight, my disciple and I have indeed had these careful thoughts, which were completely seen through by the senior!
However, human cultivation techniques are extremely hard to find. Even if we search the mortal world and find someone with true cultivation, obtaining their technique is incredibly difficult.
Who doesn’t treat their cultivation technique as a treasure? Even if we use force, we may not be able to defeat a true cultivator. Even if we do, the cultivator treasures their technique and wouldn’t easily give it up."
Chen Yan pondered for a while and said slowly: "The path of cultivation is challenging. Even if I am willing to teach Chuyi, whether he is suitable for cultivation depends on fate.
Even if he has a talent for cultivation, as cultivators yourselves, you should know how difficult this path is. Even a talented individual may find it challenging to truly begin and succeed."
He turned to look at Chuyi and said to Huang Ling’Er: "Alright, I can try to teach him a cultivation technique. But... let’s make an agreement. We’ll take a year as the term. If Chuyi has talent, he should make some progress in a year. If he can’t even begin within a year, then give up your hopes."
The two demonesses were overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground: "Senior is willing to teach, it is our blessing! We would wait not just a year, even ten or twenty years!"
"A year is enough to see if he has talent, no need to wait that long." Chen Yan shook his head: "Alright, get up."
He looked at the family of three and sighed: "Alright, during these Spring Festival days, spend time together and reunite. After a while, when I leave, Chuyi will come with me and cultivate for a year.
During this year, you two demonesses need to stay in the mountains and cultivate well, do not cause trouble. After the year is up, whether Chuyi becomes a Daoist or not, I will bring him back.
By that time, whether you stay together or part ways will be up to fate."
The two demonesses were elated upon hearing this, but Chuyi seemed somewhat confused and asked, "Brother, you mean after some days, I will leave with you?"
