"I want you to stop cultivating. In fact, it's even better if you destroy your cultivation."

"What?! Do you know how hard my life has been until now? If I destroyed my cultivation which is the only way to survive, how do you expect me to continue living! Forget it! I'm not going to let anything happen to my cultivation which I longed to obtain for so many years!"

"Calm down, Jian Shen. You seem to have misunderstood me. Let me explain properly, from the beginning."

And so she did, for the next whole hour which allowed Jian Shen to understand what she meant.

Turns out that the Myriad G.o.d Sword had single cultivation technique inside it, which when trained in would allow the individual to use nine different types of elements.

However, when the Myriad G.o.d Sword was broken into various pieces, each of the nine pieces only had the training technique of a single element within them.

Therefore if Jian Shen kept on training in the technique which he obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and entered the Qi Crystal Core Realm, he would forever be doomed to only be able to use the element of Yang.

Not that it would be bad for him, since the technique was vastly superior to various others. But the technique wouldn't allow him to train or comprehend any other element to the same level.

Due to this, Qingyu wanted Jian Shen to destroy his cultivation and start from the beginning after he fused the Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Ethereal Phoenix Sword together.

Because that way, his new cultivation technique would allow him to train in two different elements which would, in theory, double his strength and capabilities.

After hearing Qingyu, Jian Shen almost nodded his head and accepted since obtaining a technique superior to the one he used right now wasn't a bad deal.

But, he couldn't do so, since that would set all of his cultivation progress back to the beginning.

And according to what Qingyu said, it was more than possible that the new technique would be twice as hard to train in.

"I know what you are thinking about, but if you run away from something beneficial to you since it is considered hard, you'll definitely regret it in the future."

"Also, with the number of resources inside this World Crest, your progress won't be slow by any means."

"However, I won't force you to do something you don't want. But, I still suggest you think about it for a while. Because all of your future will depend on this decision."

Considering how much Qingyu was stressing the topic, Jian Shen couldn't directly reject her, and therefore started thinking about it.

Noticing this Qingyu discretely excused herself and began clearing the table of the empty dishes, while thinking about what she should cook for lunch.

Once Jian Shen started thinking, the first thing he was reminded of was his fight against Fang Rong, during which the king interfered and easily knocked him out.

But that wasn't for long since he was obviously way too weaker than the king.

However, what he thought next couldn't be put aside the same away. Since it was his battle with Liao He.

Sure he was naive and didn't expect Liao He to try and kill him after the match had ended, but what just consider what would have happened if Jian Shen was even stronger.

He would most likely not have been wounded by Liao He, and therefore even if Liao He tried to kill him through a sneak attack, Jian Shen who was uninjured would have been able to easily protect himself.

As he started thinking about how being twice as strong only had benefits, and the only limitation was for him to train harder, it didn't take long for Jian Shen to make up his mind.

After all, during the moment when Liao He was trying to kill him, Jian Shen felt the same powerlessness as he did during his previous years inside the palace.

And no matter what, he didn't want to feel the same way ever again.

...

Once Jian Shen acknowledged that he was ready to restart his cultivation from the beginning, Qingyu who felt very happy at this decision ended up making him a huge sweet feast for lunch which Jian Shen forced himself to eat so that she wouldn't feel sad.

After lunch, Qingyu told Jian Shen to rest for a while as she came up with an idea for his training.

Jian Shen didn't know why, but he always felt very comfortable around Qingyu. And by now, he didn't even feel the slightest bit of wariness around her.

The trust was so much, that he was willing to blindly follow whichever training session she came up with.

It didn't take Qingyu long time to decide on which training would be best for Jian Shen.

"First, let's get rid of your cultivation. This way, I can help you with improving your basics. As for cultivating, you can do that anytime after I... You know."

He knew. But even Jian Shen wasn't willing to admit or say it out loud. So he only nodded his head.

"Since we don't want to injure your dantian, and using pills would leave a lasting impact on it, I'll do it on my own. But just so you know, since I'm going to forcefully disperse your cultivation, it will hurt really bad."

Trying to act cool, Jian Shen said, "That's fine! If there is one thing that I don't fear, it is pain."

Unfortunately, the cool facade didn't last long, because once Qingyu placed her hand on his stomach a chilling sensation permeated through his whole body.

It was like long needles made of ice were forcing their way through his skin and muscles to reach his Dantian.

And once they did, they punctured his Dantian causing all of his cultivation to directly leave his body from where Qingyu was touching him.

As the sense of weakness began spreading, Jian Shen strengthened his resolve to once again grow strong. Even stronger than he was right now.

With that thought, Jian Shen closed his eyes, and fainted with his mouth clenched tightly so that he wouldn't yell from pain.

At the same time, Jian Shen began thinking that he was recently falling unconscious many times.
