Xue Ping stood up respectfully. Now that he had become this person's disciple, he was wondering who and what kind of person his master was.
Also, there was that strange flying head...
Perhaps he was a great devil.
Lie Tian's eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at Xue Ping with burning eyes, which caused the latter's hair to stand on end.
"Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul!" Lie Tian exclaimed in shock.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Old man, tell Xue Ping what is so special about him. Don't try to make it sound so mysterious."
Lie Tian rolled his eyes.
This guy did not even know what it was, but he pretended to know everything.
After accepting Xue Ping as his disciple, the system presented him with a reward.
To Chu Xuan's surprise, the system did not reward him with a cultivation technique this time.
This also meant that Xue Ping's talent did not require any special cultivation technique.
"You took Xue Ping in as your disciple. He has a form of supreme talent. You have been rewarded with the Myriad Supreme Record."
Chu Xuan looked at the reward's description. The Myriad Supreme Record contained the various types of supreme talents and constitutions throughout the eras.
In a sense, it made up for Chu Xuan's lack of knowledge in this aspect.
Chu Xuan received his reward and quickly found the Myriad Supreme Record's description of the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul.
"The Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul is a special talent," Lie Tian said.
"It's said that one needs to experience nine great calamities before they can fully awaken and unleash their talent."
"Once they unleash their talent, they have the potential to reach the peak of the Dao Supreme realm."
"However, if they fail to survive the calamities, they will die."
Chu Xuan looked at the record's description and realized that it matched what Lie Tian said.
The owner of the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul indeed needed to go through nine great life and death calamities, and would undergo nirvana after surviving each calamity.
If they survived all nine calamities, they would not suffer any cultivation setbacks before the Dao Creation realm, and would eventually be capable of reaching the peak of the Dao Supreme realm.
"With this kind of special talent, it's destined to be difficult for him to fully unleash his innate talent. After all, if he's not careful, he will die during the great calamities."
Fortunately, people with the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul were blessed by fate, and would not die easily.
However, it was also destined that the process of Xue Ping's development would be arduous.
Moreover, having a strong fate did not mean that one could not turn misfortune into fortune.
"It's rumored that there was once a Dao Supreme realm expert who possessed the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul. He was the only person known to have passed the nine great tribulations, though he was from before my era."
"In my generation, there was an expert who had undergone seven nirvanas, and was a Dao Creation realm expert. However, because he had only undergone nirvana seven times, he was unable to break through to the Dao Supreme realm."
Xue Ping was stunned as he listened. His heart was in turmoil, and he was unable to calm himself down.
'I actually have an extremely powerful talent?'
However, he had to go through nine tribulations and complete nine nirvanas before he could fully awaken his talent?
Furthermore, what was the Dao Creation realm?
What was the Dao Supreme realm?
He only knew about the Saint Dao realm, and the Saint Dao King realm...
There were rumors of a Holy Dao realm expert, which was a true peak existence, but the Dao Creation and Dao Supreme realms... This was completely unheard of.
He realized that his knowledge of the world was still too shallow.
Could it be that his own master was such a transcendent existence?
What a great opportunity!
It did not matter whether he was a demon or not. In this world, being strong was the most important thing.
Xue Ping's heart was filled with excitement.
The Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul's owner indeed needed to go through nine life and death calamities and undergo nine nirvanas to fully awaken their talent.
However, what was not apparent to everyone was that the owner of the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul did not have to rely on himself to survive those calamities.
In fact, with the protection of an expert, it was possible to complete the nine nirvanas within a short period of time and successfully awaken their talent.
There was a detailed description of this in the Myriad Supreme Record, as well as how to go about it.
After Lie Tian finished talking, Chu Xuan chimed in, smiling mysteriously.
"Old man, you are correct. However, it's actually not difficult to awaken the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul."
Lie Tian shot him a glance.
"If it was really that easy, why would most cultivators with the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul be regarded as trash?"
Because of its special nature, the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul was only highly regarded once they underwent a certain number of nirvanas.
As for those who had not, they were trash, and were treated as such.
In history, there had been many cultivators with the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Soul who could not undergo nirvana and eventually became ordinary and mediocre existences.
There were only two or three in history who had truly become experts.
Lie Tian was confident that Chu Xuan's knowledge and vision could not compare to his.
Chu Xuan's understanding of the Heavenly Sun World, as well as the various unique talents this world had, was far too lacking.
