NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 234.1
“Ah?” the Peerless Spear Immortal came to his senses again, returning to the birthday celebration.
Everyone who had come to pay their respects was looking at him with concern.
“Master, what happened to you? You suddenly spaced out again, and you didn’t respond when I called you several times!” Chai Yuxin said worriedly.
“Master, do you need to see a doctor?” the eldest disciple also showed concern.
“Yes, Master, perhaps you should see a doctor for a check-up!”
“Cough cough… What could possibly be wrong with me?”
Seeing the concerned looks from everyone, the Peerless Spear Immortal waved his hand dismissively, “I know my own body best! All my internal injuries have healed after taking the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill! Just now, I was merely lost in thought about some matters. Let’s continue!”
The Peerless Spear Immortal carefully put away the calligraphy scroll he had been holding, keeping it close to his body, and then resumed the birthday celebrations.
However, throughout the event, he seemed somewhat distracted.
No matter who came to offer birthday wishes, he responded with mere courtesy, his smile noticeably forced.Everyone could tell that something was off with the Peerless Spear Immortal.
But since he didn’t speak of it, they had no way to press for answers and could only keep their worries to themselves.
After the birthday feast ended, the Peerless Spear Immortal hurried back to his room.
The first thing he did upon returning was to take out the calligraphy scroll he had kept close and began to study it intently.
Then, his consciousness once again entered that mysterious space.
He saw that familiar figure practicing spear techniques.
This was yet another set of spear techniques, as majestic as a dragon emerging from the sea, summoning thunder and lightning, calling upon the wind and rain…
All things between heaven and earth seemed to bow before this set of spear techniques.
The Peerless Spear Immortal watched, utterly mesmerized, and couldn’t help but begin to learn.
He was completely absorbed, focused, and filled with the joy of learning and mastery!
This feeling was like the very first time he encountered spear techniques, utterly fascinating him!
When he came back to his senses, it was already dawn.
It was the crowing of the rooster that woke him up.
The Peerless Spear Immortal looked at the calligraphy scroll in his hands and exclaimed excitedly, “Spear techniques can actually be this powerful! My pursuit has not been in vain;, the spear is indeed invincible!”
Feeling the changes within his body, he was ecstatic.
He discovered that the realm he had been stuck in for so long was finally showing signs of movement.
This was no ordinary occurrence!
You see, it had been 30 years since he reached this realm!
For 30 years, there had been no change, which had aged him and led him to despair!
Now that he had made progress and seen hope, how could he not be overjoyed?
He decided to redouble his efforts and continue delving into the calligraphy scroll to learn the spear techniques within.
Time slowly passed, and it was now broad daylight.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, his disciples were in an uproar.
A young disciple said worriedly, “Master usually gets up very early and is always punctual, practicing diligently through the coldest winters and hottest summers. Now, the sun is high in the sky. Why hasn’t he gotten up yet?”
“Could it be because Master celebrated his birthday yesterday and was too tired, so he decided to rest a bit longer today?” someone suggested.
Someone immediately countered, “That’s impossible. What’s that level of fatigue to a martial artist? Master is still a peak Innate expert, capable of fighting for three days and nights without getting tired!”
“Actually, I think Master has been looking unwell since last night, lacking in spirit! He became like this after taking the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill. Do you think there could be something wrong with that pill?” someone asked.
“That shouldn’t be the case, right?” Chai Yuxin became worried.
She had presented the pill to her Master, and if something went wrong because of it, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
“Should we… go and check on Master?”
“Yes, yes, let’s do that together!”
And so this group of people arrived together at the doorstep of the Peerless Spear Immortal, and then they knocked on the door.
“What do you want?” the Peerless Spear Immortal annoyedly asked as he opened the door.
Just moments before, he had finally grasped a new technique in spearplay, only to be interrupted by the knocking.
“Master…”
The eldest disciple began to cautiously ask, “It’s already dawn, and you haven’t gotten up for such a long time. We were worried about you, so we came over…”
The Peerless Spear Immortal waved his hand impatiently, “I’m fine. There’s no need for you to worry. Everyone go back! Also, I’ll be busy with something these next few days. Remember that unless it’s something important, do not come looking for me! Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!”
With that, he slammed the door shut, leaving his disciples standing there, exchanging puzzled looks.
For the next two days, the Peerless Spear Immortal remained holed up in his room, immersed in comprehending the spear techniques from the scrolls.
He worked tirelessly, forsaking sleep and food, toiling through the nights, indefatigable.
He seemed almost possessed.
Outside, however, his disciples grew increasingly worried.
“It’s been two days. Why hasn’t Master come out? This is too weird!”
“Master said he would discuss some matters with us before going into seclusion, but now he’s just holed up in his room. What’s going on?”
“Eldest brother, why don’t you go and call Master agaiun?”
“Eldest brother, please!”
The eldest disciple quickly waved his hands, “I wouldn’t dare! Master said before that whoever goes to call him, he would break their legs! And he means it. My arms and legs can’t take that. Someone else should go!”
“Eldest sister, you go. Master always dotes on you the most!” The others shifted their target.
Chai Yuxin trembled, “But I’m scared too!”
“Let’s do this then!”
The eldest disciple coughed, “We’ll wait one more day. If Master still hasn’t come out by then, we’ll all go together! There’s safety in numbers, so it should be fine!”
“We have no other choice,” everyone sighed.
At that moment, the Peerless Spear Immortal once again emerged from his deep focus on the scroll.
He wasn’t awoken by anyone else, but he had awoken alone.
Because he had now mastered the spear technique that the scroll had revealed.
“It can’t just be called a spear technique. It should be described as an artistic conception!” the Peerless Spear Immortal muttered to himself.
Every practitioner who reaches the Grandmaster realm has their own insights, which form an artistic conception that resonates with the heaven and earth, allowing them to draw upon the spiritual energy of the world and unleash strength several times or even more than ten times their own.
It is for this reason that there is a saying: “Below the Grandmaster, all are ants.”
This artistic conception was exactly what he was lacking.
But this scroll had shown it to him.
It told him how to use the spear to achieve his own realm of insight, thereby forming an artistic conception.
“It’s a pity there’s only one character, it can hold too little of the artistic conception!”
“However, if I can find the senior who wrote this scroll and learn from him, I might have the chance to form my own artistic conception and then break through to Grandmaster!”
