Chapter 1844 Finally Found a Chance!

In the three days…

Fang Qiu once again adjusted his strength to the perfect peak state.

Led by the three elders, he entered the Mysterious Realm again.

He faced the same opponent, and even the dialogue in the opening scene was precisely the same as before.

The difference was…

This battle was even fiercer than the last one.

Since Fang Qiu already got some understanding of the shadow from the previous battle, he gained an extra advantage in the intense battle. It lasted for fifteen minutes.

In the end, Fang Qiu won by a narrow margin!

He walked out of the Mysterious Realm. To activate the Mysterious Realm and Nirvana Saint Lord’s shadow, the three elders put the mysterious jade as large as a goose egg on the side of the cave fifteen minutes ago. Now, it had turned into a pile of powder!

Standing outside the Mysterious Realm, the three elders saw the jade turn into a thousand pieces.

They stared in mute amazement!

They couldn’t restrain their excitement when the jade was broken last time.

But this time, the jade turned into powder!

This achievement was unprecedented.

“Even the jade has been shattered into powder. Did Fang Qiu push Nirvana Saint Lord’s shadow to the limit?”

Their eyes were full of shock.

John Doe came out.

Like last time, when he appeared before the three elders, Fang Qiu was gasping for breath — he seemed a little exhausted.

“How was it?”

The three elders immediately came forward to ask.

“Fortunately, I lived up to your expectations.”

Fang Qiu looked at the three elders and smiled weakly.

When the three elders heard what Fang Qiu said…

They were immediately stunned and stood rooted to the spot. Looking at each other, they were shocked to the core.

After a long time, they finally recovered from the shock.

The eyes of the three elders could not help but turn slightly red. Hot tears welled up in their eyes!

“Finally…”

Elder Yuan looked up at the sky and exclaimed excitedly, “After so many years, we finally found a chance!”

“Yes, we found one.”

Elder Qu nodded in agreement.

“After all these years, we finally get what we have been waiting for.”

Elder Qian stared at John Doe and said with emotion, “It’s just a possibility, but hope is priceless!”

The three elders knew the reality very well.

John Doe defeated the shadow that Saint Lord left there a hundred years ago. It meant his talent was no weaker than Saint Lord’s one hundred years ago. But now the situation has changed. Only defeating the shadow Saint Lord left there a century ago wouldn’t do. That was why they merely said there was a possibility!

Afterward…

Full of excitement…

The three elders took Fang Qiu back to the back mountain.

As soon as they stopped, Fang Qiu immediately sat cross-legged on the top of the back mountain to cultivate and recover.

After the first battle with Saint Lord’s shadow, Fang Qiu felt his strength had improved slightly. Although the improvement was not significant, it happened.

After all…

He had reached One-Flower Core Realm’s peak. His progress was very limited since he couldn’t break through to the Two-Flower Core Realm.

This time…

As soon as he sat cross-legged to cultivate and recover, Fang Qiu felt his meridians expanded a little after this big battle. The change was small, but widening his unusually thick meridians would be challenging.

This slight improvement appeared not worth mentioning. But his progress would become remarkable once he upgraded to the Two-Flower Core Realm!

There…

He sat for three more days.

Not a second was wasted. Three days later, Fang Qiu restored his state to the perfect peak once again.

When Fang Qiu woke up…

“Perhaps I can perform better this time.”

Fang Qiu wondered if he should let the three elders take him to the Mysterious Realm again.

“You’re awake?”

A familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.

It was Qingyun.

Fang Qiu turned to look.

He saw Qingyun in a cyan robe. Holding his emerald long sword in one hand, he crossed his arms over his chest, looking at the sun far away on the horizon. The sun had just risen from there and hadn’t radiated myriads of golden rays.

“Um.”

Fang Qiu nodded and got up.

“Please come to the elders.”

Qingyun turned around and said with a smile.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

Then, Qingyun guided him to the wooden house where the three elders stayed.

The three elders saw John Doe coming over.

Sitting cross-legged in the wooden house, they all laughed joyfully.

“Seniors.”

Upon arrival, Fang Qiu made a hold-fist salute and bowed.

“Sit.”

The three elders nodded, and Elder Qian motioned for him to sit.

“Seniors, may I know why you’ve summoned me here?”

Fang Qiu asked after sitting cross-legged on the rush cushion in the center of the room.

“Sure.”

Elder Qian nodded with understanding and said, “We want to talk about Nirvana Saint Lord with you this time.”

“Really?”

Fang Qiu was instantly intrigued by this topic.

“You should have learned something about him after these two battles.”

Elder Qian said.

“Hmm.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I know something but haven’t obtained an all-sided view.”

“He hadn’t become Nirvana Saint Lord at that time.”

Elder Qian recalled and said, “The shadow was not at his peak. The real Nirvana Saint Lord at the height of his strength has no weaknesses.”

“No weaknesses?”

Fang Qiu raised his surprised eyebrows. Carefully, he thought back on his two great battles with the shadow.

In the two fierce battles…

He didn’t capture any weakness of the shadow.

He did well in controlling the battle’s rhythm and changing the relic’s attacking points. No flaws could be found in his accurate decisions.

From this aspect, he seemed flawless.

“Yes.”

Elder Qian nodded affirmatively and said, “He is a genius, a marvelous being. Never will he expose any flaws to the enemy in a battle. Thus, you can never defeat him by taking shortcuts. The only way to win is to pin him down and defeat him with real strength!”

“Um.”

With a nod, Fang Qiu said, “Indeed. Over the years, I think I’ve been invincible among those at the same level as me. But after I met his shadow, I could figure out how amazing he was when he was young. If I fought with him in his era, I might not achieve my current results.”

“It’s best if you can recognize this.”

Elder Qian nodded with relief and said, “The only thing geniuses have to fear is being conceited. Originally, he had no personal vanity. But later, with the growth of his organization, he considered himself above the crowd for once. But just because of it, he didn’t end well. When he comes out again, he will never be as arrogant as before. After all, he has already suffered a great loss because of his arrogance.”

“You are the only hope we found. So, you must control yourself. Don’t be blinded by your temporary victory!”

“I will remember your instructions.”

Fang Qiu nodded and replied, “But even though I’ve made it this far, he has cultivated for one more century than I have. I’m afraid it will be difficult to bridge the gap of one hundred years.”

“There’s no rush.”

Elder Qian said with a smile, “He a rare genius. After suffering a big loss, he was seriously injured. It will take at least decades for him to recover, and he may not return to his peak state. He must have spent most of his time recovering in the past one hundred years. He was at his peak in the decisive battle in Wulin. But even if he has made some progress, he won’t be much more powerful than that.”

“But…”

Fang Qiu smiled wryly. “If there’s still time, I’ll have the confidence, but I’m running short of time.”

“We don’t know when Nirvana will attack again, but it’s time to prepare for it in advance.”

Elder Qian nodded and said, “We invited you here to remind you. Besides, we’ve come up with an idea and need your opinion.”

“Please go ahead.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

“After some discussion, we have decided to mobilize resources to provide you with more chances to practice in Mysterious Realm.”

Elder Qian said, “You’re the only hope we’ve found in the past century. But it’s difficult for you to improve your current state. Luckily, you seem to have made some progress after every battle. At present, it’s the only way to help you move forward.”

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”

Fang Qiu said, smiling, “Actually, I also want to go in again.”

“That’s great.”

The three elders nodded with a smile.

In fact…

They didn’t have to ask John Doe’s opinion.

However, every stunning genius would inevitably carry themselves with pride. They won’t allow themselves to be ordered about.

Since making the decision for John Doe might displease him, they specially invited John Doe over to discuss it.

Indeed…

Fang Qiu was very resistant to being dominated by others.

He would even feel uncomfortable when he was watched.

Nevertheless…

On this matter, he did not feel that he was being controlled. Instead, he was particularly grateful to the three elders’ generous support.

With the help of the three elders…

Soon, Fang Qiu came to Sword Sect’s forbidden area again and entered Mysterious Realm for the third time.

This time…

The three elders took out a mysterious jade the size of two fists.

After Fang Qiu entered the Mysterious Realm…

Once again, he fought against Saint Lord’s shadow from a hundred years ago.

The first battle was about fifteen minutes, and the second took precisely fifteen minutes.

This time…

The three elders were full of expectations.

Fang Qiu only spent thirteen minutes before getting out of the Mysterious Realm.

The three elders had been paying close attention to him all the time. John Doe shortened the combat period by two minutes. They were surprised to see John Doe come out of the Mysterious Realm so early.

Two minutes…

For ordinary people, two minutes might pass by in a flash.

However, two minutes was a very long time in the battle between martial arts practitioners like John Doe and Nirvana Saint Lord.

Before the battle…

The three elders had thought John Doe would get a better result the third time he entered the Mysterious Realm. But unexpectedly, the better result was that he ended the battle in a shorter time.

Moreover, the progress was so evident.

The three elders didn’t expect John Doe to have such enormous potential. His talent in martial arts was exceptional. He had improved so much by merely three battles.

“You… won?”

They could hardly believe such a good result. When John Doe walked over, Elder Yuan even came to him and asked suspiciously, “Did anything unexpected happen? If any accident happened, you wouldn’t have to worry. Take a short rest and recover. It won’t matter if you try it again later.”
