Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 287 - 236: Taibai Phecda: I Really Want to Improve!

Su Yuan and the others arrived at the designated area according to Taibai Phecda's notification.

Then, they gazed up at a giant flying sword that resembled a small battleship.

Taibai Phecda stood at the forefront of the flying sword, nodding slightly towards Su Yuan and the others.

After boarding the flying sword, the slightly chilly morning breeze immediately disappeared, indicating some kind of array or rune on the sword's body that isolated external influences.

The level sword body in mid-air remained extremely stable, allowing everyone to walk as if on solid ground.

Su Yuan glanced around and immediately spotted the white-haired Lolita clinging to the hem of Taibai Phecda's robe.

It's been nearly a year since they first met Taibai Yuxi, and the white-haired Lolita had grown a few centimeters taller than before.

The originally chubby little face had also subtly become more refined.

"Brother Su Yuan."

The white-haired Lolita decisively abandoned her old father, taking small steps as she pitter-pattered over to Su Yuan's side.

Immersed in the increasingly pure demonic qi emanating from Su Yuan, the white-haired Lolita took a deep breath, looking utterly satisfied.

At the same time, Su Yuan was also silently absorbing the demonic qi from the girl while rubbing her little head.

Watching his disciple and daughter exchanging demonic qi, Taibai Phecda's mouth twitched slightly.

But in the end, he said nothing, pretending not to see like an ineffectual father.

"The Sword Ship is one of the fastest flying ships I've purchased, with an average speed easily reaching ten times the speed of sound, and a top speed that can break through to a hundred times the speed of sound."

"However, considering that it might be your first time on a Sword Ship, I will keep it below ten times the speed of sound to avoid any potential airsickness."

"In about three hours, we'll reach Ten Immortals City, so everyone hold on tight as we're about to set off."

Taibai Phecda gave a reminder, allowing the students three seconds to brace themselves before setting off immediately.

The instant the Sword Ship started, it broke through the sound barrier with ease, and its speed continued to climb at a terrifying rate.

With such fierce acceleration, even Su Yuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, might get airsick, let alone an average Qi Cultivation cultivator.

Fortunately, inside the Sword Ship, there were multiple layers of cushioning arrays to reduce the students' discomfort, preventing them from losing composure.

After adjusting for a bit, as the Sword Ship reached a stable speed and altitude, a sense of anticipation gradually welled up in the students' hearts.

In three hours, they would see Ten Immortals City.

Su Yuan, leading Taibai Yuxi, approached Taibai Phecda, who was pretending not to notice anything, and curiously asked:

"Teacher, why are you returning to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect again?"

"I remember you saying you hadn't stayed on campus to teach but had gone out early to make a career?"

Taibai Phecda glanced at Su Yuan, responding grumpily:

"You're right, but do you think my success is likely when every sect I join ends up closing down?"

He sighed and said:

"Starting a business at the Golden Core Stage isn't easy. Instead of pursuing entrepreneurship at this stage, it makes more sense to establish dominions after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage."

"If I could become a realm master... I wouldn't need to join any sect; they would actively seek to collaborate with me."

Su Yuan, surprised, exclaimed:

"Does this mean you're about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Teacher?"

The news of Taibai Phecda nearing a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage wasn't new.

Wow, if my teacher truly becomes a Nascent Soul True Monarch, wouldn't my status dramatically elevate?

Being a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul True Monarch sounds as prestigious as being a Divine Son or Saintess!

And the biggest beneficiary wouldn't just be me; the white-haired Lolita would obviously gain more, officially bearing the name of Saintess.

No wonder the white-haired Lolita hadn't attended compulsory education; was she being groomed to Saintess standards from the outset?

Hearing Su Yuan's question, Taibai Phecda smirked slightly but quickly masked it.

He cleared his throat and said:

"This matter is still up in the air, so don't go spreading rumors."

"However, I'm indeed returning to Evil Extermination University to utilize University City's resources in an attempt to break through to Nascent Soul."

"While I can't guarantee complete success in this breakthrough, there's about a seventy percent chance of success."

Su Yuan felt a profound respect.

If he's publicly claiming seventy percent, he might privately be ninety percent confident.

Am I truly going to become a True Monarch disciple?

Su Yuan was about to offer some praise when something came to mind, prompting him to ask:

"By the way, Teacher, I heard that choosing a mentor is as important as choosing a major in university."

"As we head to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, might you leverage your imminent Nascent Soul breakthrough to introduce me to some capable mentors?"

Taibai Phecda shook his head, smiling:

"Silly child, even after I achieve Nascent Soul, I won't immediately claim new territories; I'll still settle in at the Evil Extermination Sword Sect for a while."

"During that time, I'll be one of the mentors you can choose from."

Su Yuan: "..."

Great... the Taibai Sword Demon isn't satisfied with causing havoc in external sword sects but is finally preparing to wreak havoc at his alma mater.

So, the rumor system was actually right?!

But upon reflection, Taibai Phecda spent so many years at Evil Extermination Sword Sect without any mishaps happening.

Being one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, it should withstand Teacher Taibai's 'misfortune'.

Setting aside the so-called misfortune, if Teacher Taibai returns to teach, wouldn't that provide me a major backing in university?

I am the Second Generation Immortal myself!

With this thought, Su Yuan's gaze towards Taibai Phecda grew increasingly fiery.

He hurriedly retrieved a bottle of tea from his storage magical treasure and respectfully handed it over:

"Teacher, here, have some tea."

Taibai Phecda casually accepted it, saying with his hands behind his back:

"If you have anything else you'd like to ask, now's the time."

Oh! This Old Deng is getting arrogant!

Intentionally leading me to speak, then acting all superior!

Su Yuan thought carefully and cautiously asked:

"Teacher, once you become Nascent Soul, wouldn't an ordinary mentor position be beneath your stature?"

Taibai Phecda looked at Su Yuan with satisfaction, responding calmly:

"Correct."

"The reason I've chosen now for the breakthrough and opted to do it at Evil Extermination University is because I intend to compete for the deputy head position of the Evil Extermination Department."

"One of the two deputy heads, Director Liu, resigned recently to focus on conquering a high-quality world he discovered."

"With a vacancy in the deputy head position, I should compete for it, paving the way for my realm master ambition."

Evidently, it's not just Su Yuan who's eager to progress.

Taibai Phecda is equally driven to advance.

This exchange between teacher and disciple left the other students on the Sword Ship in awe.

Many enviously looked at Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, Xiao Kong, and other students who chose the Evil Extermination Sword Sect.

What is it like to have your esteemed teacher as the department head of your chosen major in university?

The joy of such a scenario is unimaginable to outsiders!

At the same time, they couldn't help but be entranced by Taibai Phecda's talk of "establishing dominions" and "realm master" aspirations.

The fact that the high-tier cultivators of the Blue Star Federation have already ventured beyond their home planet, heading towards the stars and seas, is familiar to everyone.

And it is indeed a reality.

The vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators are either claiming new territories outside or already guarding their own planets and worlds as realm masters, akin to regional lords.

Although this process is riskier than exploring secret realms, the rewards are exceptionally high.

Besides the benefits, Nascent Soul True Monarchs have an unavoidable necessity to leave their home planet.

For Nascent Soul True Monarchs are exceedingly powerful, consuming so much spiritual energy daily that it can be compared to the energy consumption of an aircraft carrier from Su Yuan's previous life.

Not to mention their ever-increasing strength, which only demands more and more spiritual energy.

If all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were to remain on Blue Star, its spiritual energy might deplete within a century.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy revival isn't limited to Blue Star.

The revival phenomenon synchronously emerged on almost all other planets and worlds beyond Blue Star.

Although the spiritual energy revival extent in these worlds often falls short of Blue Star's, developing several worlds can easily support one or two Nascent Soul True Monarchs and accommodate one or two million people.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs commanding numerous resource-rich worlds are naturally revered as realm masters by society.

Yet, for most, whether it's a realm master or other planets and worlds, they remain an unattainable dream.

Aside from Divine Sons and Saintesses, even ambitious students set their sights only on becoming a Golden Core master.

And now, aboard the Sword Ship, they've personally witnessed a future Nascent Soul True Monarch, a future realm master.

This might be their closest encounter with a realm master, and they can hardly contain their excitement!

How can they not envy Su Yuan, the direct disciple of Master Taibai?
