Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life-Chapter 20: Holy Silk Palace

Asher was not always in Yi Mingxue’s palace. He often wandered around on his own, looking at the world and keeping an eye on Father Tree.

Today, he stood again in the Great World that he had once visited with Yi Mingxue. It now had the name Seven Paths World as it was led by the Seven Paths Great Sage who now had the title of Seven Paths Paragon.

After all this time, he had indeed managed to become a Paragon. Of course, he only achieved that with one Dao yet he still had great aspirations to train all seven of his Daos to the peak, which people often thought was ridiculous.

After all, he was already considered old but he hadn’t even become a Great Paragon yet.

Compared to Yi Mingxue, he could hardly be considered a true genius, only average.

Of course, with his strength, he managed to make his world one of the strongest worlds in the Lower Realms.

At least it managed to resist the oppression of the people in the Sacred Silk Realm who descended into the Lower Realm.

"Sir!" The old man came towards Asher not long after he arrived.

He already knew about him.

Although he was also a Paragon, his strength was far above him.

In his opinion, Asher was the most mysterious figure. After all, he knew very well that he was the one who kidnapped the Red Giant Monster.

After that, the monster suddenly became stronger.

He was sure that he was the same monster that he had once sealed even though he currently never attacked humans again as long as they didn’t provoke him.

Asher stared at him for a while then continued to stare upwards.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I was hoping I could get some guidance from you," the old man replied, not hesitating to tell him his wish.

For him this was a great opportunity, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.

He wanted to bet, bet that Asher would not mind giving guidance to a junior.

If it failed, then so be it. After all, he also had no chance to meet him other than today.

"What guidance do you want?

If you want insights or secret techniques, I can’t give you any," Asher replied, replying casually.

Seeing his casual attitude, the old man became excited.

At least he responded.

"I just need some words. I’ve been stuck for so long. Even though I’ve focused on the one Dao I’m best at, I still can’t become a Great Paragon. What do you think is wrong with me? Am I lacking in willpower or talent? However, even if my talent is lacking, my accumulation is already very deep. Others say that I only lack one thing that they cannot guess." He quickly explained the problem.

"It’s a common problem," Asher replied.

"Yes, a common problem..." The old man nodded.

This was indeed a common problem that came to everyone when reaching the limit of cultivation because breaking through was really very difficult.

Although he had experienced it many times, this one trapped him in trillions of years.

"There is no solution," Asher replied.

Cough!

The old man immediately coughed at that.

Asher could only say that there was no solution for him because there was no solution.

The Giant Ancestor also had this problem, but that could be chalked up to him lacking motivation and vigor as he was one of the peak existences in the Sacred Silk Realm.

However, for this old man, he was still weak while in the Sacred Silk Realm there were still many who were much stronger than him.

He could not be said to be a lonely expert because he was at the peak. He was still only in the middle of the journey. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If he was stuck in a traffic jam and could not advance, perhaps it could be said that it was his destiny to only get there. After all, there were so many Paragons who had lived far longer than him. Some even came from the early era of the Sacred Silk Realm so they were older than most Emperors.

"Will I forever be a Paragon?" The old man wondered as he talked to himself while gazing upwards.

"Hope is always there..." Asher gave him an answer.

After that, he stepped away.

That was the only advice he could give, that there was always hope.

Not long after, there was a mysterious fluctuation throughout the Sacred Silk Realm. It was faint yet encompassed the entire Realm and could only be sensed by the Great Paragons.

Because of that fluctuation, there were many eyes that had been closed deep underground for trillions of years that suddenly opened.

Many Great Paragons, especially those at the 3rd Stage preferred to spend time sleeping because they were already bored with life.

However, when the Sacred Silk Palace opened, they were ready to become ferocious wolves fighting for a piece of meat.

At this moment, the auras of the Emperors began to be felt at various points in the Sacred Silk Realm.

The Great Paragon Kings were also as if filled with a passion for fighting where their auras sometimes shook the land around them.

"Master!" At the same time, Asher returned to the palace, greeted by Yi Mingxue who stood at the door of the palace in her kimono dress and her hair in a neat bun.

She seemed to have a high fighting spirit today.

It was obvious she also had a high desire to enter the Sacred Silk Palace.

"You seem to have prepared well," Asher said when he saw her.

The woman’s aura became much deeper as she began to master many secret techniques.

Even without weapons or artifacts, she could already claim to be the Great Paragon King.

"I’ve waited a long time for this day, master," the woman said.

"Mm..." Asher nodded.

"Given your power, only the few Emperors can suppress you. However, you should still be careful, movement within the Sacred Silk Palace is very limited, 2nd Stage Great Paragons are often killed despite their immense power. Some Emperors sometimes use all their best resources in this palace. They can even use karma-related resources so that their attacks can kill all of one’s avatars just by killing one avatar." He reminded her.

"Yes..." Yi Mingxue seemed to be listening to his advice seriously.

Despite her arrogance, she still knew that the Emperors were terrible figures.

"Go, it will appear in the north sea..." Asher gave her a little information on where it would appear.

It was hidden and when it was exposed, it always appeared randomly. Those who happened to be close were of course at an advantage as they could enter before anyone else.

If one managed to be inside it in the time it took to drink a cup of tea without any rivals, it would of course be very advantageous.

Hearing that information, Yi Mingxue’s eyes shone. She saluted him before teleporting to the northern sea.

Although Asher could give everything inside the palace to his disciple, even something better, it would still be great if she fought for everything herself. It would train her mentally not to be spoiled.

BANG!

Not long after Yi Mingxue left, there was an explosive sound from the northern sea along with a light shockwave that spread throughout the entire Sacred Silk Realm.

"It’s in the North Sea..." The cooperating Great Paragons spoke to each other.

"Quick, quick, go there..."

"Damn, I’m in the southern sea, too far away."

"Who’s in the north sea now?"

"There are people over there, it’s Yi Mingxue. That girl has already entered..."

"What? How lucky is she..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, there were aura after aura bursting out, moving at high speed towards the northern sea, shaking the lands that the auras passed through.

From dozens to hundreds of auras, the most came from the True Flame Country.

People could see the entourage of the Great Paragon led by the three Emperors moving from that country.

This was the group that was avoided the most. The Emperors were also somewhat afraid of them.

What was frightening was that they could make formations that combined their powers to produce a single force that was far more ferocious than the power of an Emperor.

In a certain area, a red giant figure with six arms stood while gazing at the northern sea.

He was very far away from that place, but his eyes could clearly monitor.

He was staring at an enormous golden palace that appeared above that sea, surrounded by a faint mist. It was in a different dimension. Only when you entered the mist did you truly arrive at the palace’s surroundings.

"I cultivated relying on my bloodline, is there anything useful for me there?" He wondered.

Of course, he was interested in joining the competition, but he was a bit unsure about going.

Most importantly, he didn’t know whether Asher would let her go or not because he had to take care of the Sky Fairy Race.

That Sky Fairy Ancestor didn’t go either, perhaps the only Great Paragon who didn’t go.

She was apparently somewhat afraid of the big fight even though she was already a 2nd Stage Great Paragon.

In fact, outside the palace there were already many fights due to the gathering of people who had long held life and death grudges.

Two male figures looked miserable as they were attacked by several Emperors at once.

They were two former Emperors who had lost their supreme weapons. They didn’t even seem to be allowed to enter for fear that they would obtain supreme weapons again inside the palace.
