Xu Fang looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who was no longer at the early stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal, but had indeed reached the middle stage.
Regarding the Golden-Winged Great Peng's breakthrough, Xu Fang had heard about it from the magical treasures in the chat group, but at that time he was worried about their safety and had overlooked it.
Now that they were safe, he remembered this matter again and finally felt a delayed astonishment.
After all, he, the senior, was currently only at the middle stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal. This Golden-Winged Great Peng, who had fallen so far behind, had now caught up to him?
As for Kong Xuan, who was similar to him back then, he was now in the late stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal, showing signs of advancing to the peak.
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words and sensing his own realm and cultivation, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was nonchalant.
"Oh, breaking through while fighting is nothing strange."
Speaking of this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng felt a little ashamed. Even with his breakthrough during the battle, he still couldn't protect Ao Xue.
It was fortunate that Patriarch Ming He passed by, otherwise they would have truly become dead mandarin ducks.
Therefore, this matter of breaking through was truly not worth mentioning.
"You..."
Xu Fang was speechless upon hearing the Golden-Winged Great Peng's words.
This breakthrough was so crucial, yet this young fellow didn't seem to care at all?
He knew that even after listening to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermon, his own realm had remained stagnant, causing him much distress!
Was this Golden-Winged Great Peng being ostentatious now that he thought he was capable?
Just as Xu Fang was feeling speechless, the Golden-Winged Great Peng became curious.
"By the way, senior, why hasn't your realm improved? Are you hiding your cultivation?"
This parting shot instantly emptied Xu Fang's health bar. Wasn't this hitting a sore spot?
Xu Fang was momentarily tongue-tied, unsure how to answer.
He couldn't possibly say that despite his constant efforts, his realm still wouldn't advance, could he?
If he really said that, how could he, as a senior, hold his head high in front of his two followers, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, in the future?
Seeing this, Kong Xuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, I've wanted to ask this for a long time. Do you perhaps not have a cultivation method?"
"A cultivation method?"
Xu Fang was suddenly awakened. Indeed, he had never really had any cultivation techniques. He had always relied on absorbing spiritual energy, at most with the aid of spiritual fruits and herbs.
"Do you have cultivation methods?"
Xu Fang looked at the three people in front of him, his curiosity piqued.
"Of course. We of the Phoenix race are a great race in heaven and earth, how could we not have cultivation methods?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng boasted. It was precisely because of these cultivation methods that all flying creatures were drawn to them.
"Yes, we of the Dragon race also have Dragon race cultivation methods. Although they are incomplete, they are still very useful."
Ao Xue chimed in. As members of the three ancient ancestors, what the Phoenix race had, the Dragon race naturally also had, otherwise, how could they have been fighting so fiercely all along?
"This..."
Xu Fang was speechless. So, he had been relying on the most rudimentary methods to cultivate, no wonder he was overtaken by the Golden-Winged Great Peng who came later.
This wasn't entirely Xu Fang's fault. He had the realm of Da Luo Golden Immortal upon his transformation, so he had practically no experience in cultivation.
He had always thought that before Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermons, cultivation in the Primordial World was chaotic, and everyone relied on absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.
His intention in going to Zixiao Palace for the sermon was precisely this, hoping to obtain one or two cultivation techniques from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
However, Hongjun's sermon was more like guiding the general direction and did not involve specific cultivation methods.
After listening to their words, Xu Fang suddenly had an epiphany.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had preached the secrets of the Great Dao, but the cultivation methods in the Primordial World were not strictly passed down by the Dao Ancestor.
This was because the Three Thousand Great Daos that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had comprehended from the Creation Jade Butterfly were clearly not paths that other beings could emulate.
Therefore, in pursuit of the Great Dao, beings could only seek cultivation methods that suited them and continuously improve their realms and cultivation.
In general, the cultivation methods in the Primordial World could be divided into two categories.
One was inherited from ancient times, like Kong Xuan and the others, who had cultivation methods passed down from great races, giving them a significant advantage over other beings.
The other was created by combining one's understanding after listening to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermon to create suitable cultivation methods.
Cultivation techniques such as "One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones," "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," and "Blood God Son" would soon emerge like bamboo shoots after rain.
It was precisely for this reason that Xu Fang, a transmigration being, thought he could find cultivation methods from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Xu Fang pondered, trying to guess the origin and inheritance of cultivation methods in the Primordial World.
Meanwhile, the Golden-Winged Great Peng couldn't wait and asked,
"Senior, do you really not have any cultivation methods?"
"Yes, senior, you've suffered so much!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng said, and Ao Xue echoed him, exchanging a smile with the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
They had always watched their senior perform his unique and powerful divine abilities, and now they had found his weakness!
Although it felt a bit ungenerous, it seemed quite satisfying to see the invincible senior flustered?
Kong Xuan, though he didn't mock them, also smiled slightly.
Seeing their expressions, Xu Fang understood their intentions and immediately said,
"I was born a Da Luo Golden Immortal. I've hardly cultivated. What cultivation methods do I need?"
"This..."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue's smiles froze on their faces.
They never expected this turn of events. They had intended to mock their senior, but instead, they had instantly embarrassed themselves.
He was born a Da Luo Golden Immortal, a Da Luo Golden Immortal! They were born as Da Luo Golden Immortals!
What was the point of them having cultivation methods, if they still had to cultivate arduously to reach that level, while he was born a Da Luo Golden Immortal? How could they compare?
Kong Xuan was also stunned. He never imagined that his fellow Daoist, who appeared to be of humble origins, had such an unbelievable fortune.
But it made sense. Without any cultivation methods, reaching the realm of Da Luo Golden Immortal would indeed be incredibly difficult.
Now that he claimed to be born a Da Luo Golden Immortal, everything could be explained.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue also understood this, and they were both stunned into silence.
They had intended to mock their senior, but it turned out they were the clowns. Where could they even complain?
"Alright, alright, so what if I was born a Da Luo Golden Immortal? It's nothing special."
Xu Fang waved his hand. This matter was indeed not worth bragging about; it was merely because his Sister Huang had given him a Yellow Sprout Plum.
