The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 3377 Cultivate Again (Part One)

Not only Caroline, Ivy and Sue, but many others had also progressed. Violet, the gnome, the divine silkworm, the Heavenly Majestic Pot, and all the others had reached the Divine Realm level in their cultivation base too.

Although there was a feeling of delight and happiness due to the improvement of his wives and friends, Austin still had a sense of loss tugging in his heart. He couldn't just overcome it.

It was a well-known fact that Austin was greatly talented in the cultivation of martial arts. His super abilities and hard work had always stunned everybody. For a long time in the past, his cultivation base and fighting power had been the most excellent among his peers. And both had remained so consistently.

He didn't expect that one day the people who were around him would also match up to his abilities in martial arts. Somehow it made him feel less powerful.

And he realized that all of them had also become Divine Realm cultivators. They were progressing like him

At present, he was at the premium stage of Divine Realm, which was just a little bit higher than them.

The situation was beyond Austin's expectations. He had never thought that those with him could advance and get closer to his strength.

However, in terms of fighting capacity, Austin could battle against a preliminary-grade divine god. Even if he was in the face of defeat, in the end he knew he had the ability to protect himself and run away alive.

Except him, no other Divine Realm cultivators could do such a feat.

"Well! Seems like I am the one who needs to cultivate the most here,”

Austin said with a wry smile on his face. He wasn't envious, yet he was disturbed.

Austin had been cultivating in seclusion for the last seventy or eighty years. He had just one aim and that was to reach a higher level. However, to his dismay, he had not been able to gain any breakthrough at all.

Frustrated and disappointed, Austin went to meet Peterson the Taoist Ancestor and Morphy for a solution. He needed to discuss and find out a way for it.

The two medium-grade divine gods did a thorough examination of Austin’s body. They checked through everything that involved or was related to Austin's cultivation.

One by one, they checked his vital energy force, the cultivation base, the power of the law of order, his physical body and his spiritual soul. They also examined some things that were hidden from the naked eyes or were hard to perceive, such as the maturity of the mind, the perception power of the soul, the cultivation experience and combat experience accumulated in the past, and many other things.

The examination was so thorough and carefully done that every part of Austin, from outside to inside, was inspected closely.

The two medium-grade divine gods scanned and combed his body like two machines set to work. They checked him with all their methods and ways.

The detailed inspection lasted for about a dozen days. They did not want to rush into things and make a wrong assumption. They had to be careful and attentive.

"Hmm. I think I have found something in you that has everything to do with your cultivation,” Peterson the Taoist Ancestor was the first one to speak. He was hesitant but he knew he had to discuss it.

"What is it, master? What did you find? Please tell me!"

Austin asked in a concerned voice. He was desperate to know everything.

"Well, clearly you've achieved breakthroughs too fast and too smoothly in the earlier years and phases of your cultivation of martial arts.

As a result of this fast progress, there have been some issues. It has led to the formation of some unstable elements in your body. That is proving to be a disadvantage for you.

Those unstable elements do normally accumulate as time goes by. But due to the hasty work from your side, they have started affecting you now. The impact has been so much that it is going to be hard for you to achieve some new breakthroughs in the near future,”

Peterson the Taoist Ancestor said slowly as he was concerned about how Austin would react to it. "Morphy, what do you think? Your opinion?"

Peterson the Taoist Ancestor asked as he cast a look at Morphy.

"I'm afraid that you are right, Peterson.

I agree with you totally, though I am surprised by it.

Compared to your peers, Austin, I think in the past you were able to achieve breakthroughs much faster in the cultivation of martial arts. I am sure you reached all the breakthroughs very smoothly, right?”

Morphy said, as he kept nodding his head.

"Yes! Yes, you are right. Now that I reflect, I realize that my cultivation in the past was exactly in the same manner as you've mentioned just now.

I was always fast in achieving breakthroughs. I would hasten it.

And my cultivation base always grew and made me far ahead of my peers.

I always thought that the Goddess of Fortune was always on my side, as it was always smooth for me to achieve those breakthroughs. The fact is that I seldom met difficulties.

Compared to the other cultivators who are of my age, I rarely came across real difficulties, those which could hinder me from reaching a higher level in the cultivation of martial arts,”

Austin recalled carefully. He nodded his head from time to time, as and when those familiar details of his cultivation came back to his mind.

Now when he thought over, he had to admit that he was much faster than his peers either in speed or in smoothness when it came to his accomplishments of breakthroughs.

"I always assumed that for a cultivator, it was a good thing if he was able to get breakthroughs quickly, especially in the first half of the process of his cultivation.

However, as the cultivation becomes harder and goes deeper, a speed like that could become a weakness and could even prove to be a hindrance.

It could stop any cultivator from reaching the highest level which he would have been trying to reach.

On the contrary, there are many cultivators in the world who were not able to achieve anything. They seemed to be slow and awkward in cultivation during the first half of the process of their cultivation. They had to pay a lot of time and energy to improve their cultivation base step by step. However, once those cultivators hold on to the end and did every step seriously, it was very likely that they would suddenly gain enlightenment and become real masters of martial arts. Their pragmatic effort and hard work would add to their success in a huge manner.

I have seen a lot of such examples and cases in my life.

So, I'd give you this advice Austin. I don't think you should focus your attention on achieving fast breakthroughs like you did earlier. To get as many breakthroughs as possible in haste should not be your priority now.

Instead, I'd suggest you to find a way to start from the beginning. You should solidify your foundation again, correct the shortcomings and weaknesses that have accumulated during the first half of the process of your cultivation,”

Peterson the Taoist Ancestor looked at Austin with care in his eyes as he spoke.

"I understand! I understand it very well!"

Austin nodded his head after hearing the analysis presented by Peterson the Taoist Ancestor and Morphy. He felt a little relief as he had finally figured out the problem of his cultivation.
