Chapter 161 I Have Ambition_1

"I do!"

Long Aotian replied without any hesitation.

"Then what is your ambition?"

"To defeat you."

Upon hearing Long Aotian's decisive response, Qin Xiao fell silent.

"That is impossible, pick another ambition."

"I don't have any others."

Long Aotian had never thought that defeating a person would be so difficult.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao laughed.

"Good, I see your firm determination. Now, I will teach you a very powerful method, and you must take it seriously. This method cannot be accomplished without ambition."

"Alright!"

All the words in Long Aotian's heart eventually condensed into a single word.

"The method you've been using involves integrating the power of the heavens and earth into oneself, to awaken the body's potential. The method I teach them is to merge into the space between heaven and earth, to become a part of heaven and earth, and to provoke a resonance.

"But facing you, I have a new idea. And it's quite bold..."

Qin Xiao said gravely.

"Mmm-hmm."

Long Aotian nodded incessantly.

Like a chick pecking at rice, he was extraordinarily well-behaved.

"So what should I do?"

In the face of Long Aotian brimming with a thirst for knowledge, Qin Xiao slowly uttered four words, "Become one with heaven and earth!"

Long Aotian was profoundly shaken, "How is that possible!"

"The boundless heavens and earth, how could they possibly be replicated by my body!"

This much self-awareness, Long Aotian still possessed.

So when he heard Qin Xiao's words, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

"Haha, with such little ambition, how do you intend to defeat me?"

Qin Xiao let out a scornful chuckle.

Long Aotian was immediately greatly provoked, "You say it, you dare say it, and I dare do it!"

His violent temper flared up in an instant.

"Good, it's very simple."

Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "Then listen carefully to what I'm about to say next, remember it. Vina, you can listen too..."

Vina nodded forcefully, her eyes filled with longing.

Although Long Aotian didn't say a word, he too perked up his ears, afraid to miss a single word.

It was just that, when he looked at Vina's eyes, he suddenly felt an intense sense of defeat well up in his heart.

What difference did it make if they were childhood sweethearts?

They were still less impressive than Qin Xiao, the bamboozler.

"Have you ever seen the vast night sky filled with stars? You can treat it as a human body, and our Soul Land is just a tiny particle within that body."

"What!"

"Is that even possible!"

Long Aotian was immediately astonished.

Vina's eyes showed confusion.

Qin Xiao's idea was indeed too astonishing.

In their eyes, no one had ever spoken such grand and imposing words before.

"Why wouldn't it be possible?"

"Have you truly ever been beyond this world? Why deny the true essence of the world?"

Qin Xiao counter-questioned.

Long Aotian was at a loss for words right away.

Indeed.

No one knew the true face of the vast starry sky.

"How can they say they haven't seen it if they've never seen it."

"Alright, back to the point. My purpose in giving you an example is to allow you to more directly feel the tiny particles within your body. Then by all means, activate them, strengthen them..."

Qin Xiao watched as Long Aotian and Vina were both captivated and continued to explain the details, "Of course, if you treat the micro particles in your body as individual planets to cultivate, you'll probably achieve little in this lifetime. Their growth will take an astonishing amount of time. So, my suggestion is that you treat each tiny particle as a Divine Elephant."

"Divine Elephant!"

Long Aotian was shocked, but then he searched his memory and found no information about such a soul beast.

"Teacher, what kind of elephant is a Divine Elephant?"

Next to him, Vina also asked, clearly confused.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but facepalm, "Divine Elephant... well, it's a terrifying Divine Beast I conceived. Each one can tear apart the sky and roar down the stars. Extremely terrifying!"

"The human body is composed of 840 million particles, and once these particles all possess the strength of a Divine Elephant, even a simple gesture would carry immense power. By then, not to mention using soul skills, casually breaking through the void with a single punch would be effortless."

Can you imagine, drawing from the countless Divine Elephant particles within oneself a giant elephant towering to the heavens, whose snorts alone could overturn seas and overturn clouds; a roar that brings down stars; an intake of breath that silences all sounds?"

Long Aotian and Vina were already showing looks of longing.

They had been drawn into Qin Xiao's spiritual world.

But...

When they returned to reality, they felt a sense of emptiness.

Because they still couldn't conceive what a Divine Elephant looked like.

Qin Xiao: "..."

He too noticed their embarrassment and felt a bit nervous inside.

"It seems, what I've said may have been a bit over their heads. They can't even begin to imagine it..."

Qin Xiao rubbed his head, feeling somewhat of a headache.

Divine Elephant Imprisoning Strength truly wasn't something ordinary people could comprehend.

There was no helping it, their cognition had limited their imagination; it wasn't Long Aotian's or Vina's fault that their imaginativeness fell short.

After some thought, Qin Xiao finally figured out a compromise.

How about we take a step back?

Let's not contemplate Divine Elephants, but switch to some other animals.

For instance, soul beasts like Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, Azure Oxpython, Crowned Phoenix-tailed Snake, Feng Baboon, etc.?

Would that help them understand?

"Cough cough."

Qin Xiao coughed lightly and said earnestly, "I've noticed that your imagination is somewhat lacking, so maybe we could settle for second best and try with soul beasts you are familiar with?"

"For instance, imagine the 840 million particles within your bodies as rabbits, cats, dogs, and so on..."

After saying this, Qin Xiao couldn't stop inwardly apologizing for his sin.

Divine Elephant Imprisoning Strength, I didn't mean any offense by this, if anyone is to blame, it's these folks who really don't measure up.

"Ah, this...really?"

Long Aotian asked, somewhat bewildered.

The Divine Elephant that could fell stars with a roar was just too grand.

Suddenly switching to such common animals as pigs, dogs, cats, and rabbits, he felt his prestige plummet.

"Of course, it's not suitable, but with your talents and not a hint of insight, what other choices do we have?"

Qin Xiao said, rather irritably, "Think about it, if you could awaken the strength of 840 million pigs inside you... um, that ought to be pretty strong too. It won't hinder you from being invincible in Soul Land..."

Upon hearing this.

Long Aotian felt a sting, his cheeks burning hot.

In the end, it wasn't that the method wasn't good; it was his own problem.

If he really awakens the strength of cats, dogs, pigs, he'd die of shame.

How could he face anyone?

But then, thinking of the power that could sweep across Soul Land, Long Aotian was tempted.

He wanted to try it.

"Cough cough."

Seeing through Long Aotian's thoughts, Qin Xiao coughed lightly, interrupting his reverie, "Do you really want to do that?"

Long Aotian was startled, "Otherwise?"
