Listening to Beau Taylor’s words and looking at his calm appearance, Peter Brown deeply admired him from the bottom of his heart. This old man was awesome, having deceived so many people.
Who said Kunlun Sect has no experts? This was clearly a hidden expert who didn’t reveal his Foundation Establishment stage to others.
When Peter thought about how the other party had told him such hidden secrets, he felt even more moved. This was truly mentoring him.
Peter Brown stood up to show his respect.
Smiling, Beau Taylor asked Peter to sit down and said, "The reason I’m telling you all this is that I hope there will be a hidden expert from Hua Nation on Earth after I leave."
He sighed, "I had originally planned to stay on Earth for as long as possible, providing assistance when needed. However, my life extension is running out. If I don’t go to the Cultivation World to find my chances, I’ll simply die of old age. Earth’s resources are too scarce, not enough to further my cultivation!"
"Senior’s idea is right; you should go."
Beau Taylor continued, "Actually, the forces on Earth are not as tranquil as they appear on the surface. There are many hidden undercurrents. Not to mention the Sea Demons, which are one of the most significant dangers, there are many unknown forces on land. Some hidden forces are incredibly powerful, and they have developed unique cultivation paths."
"Unique paths?" Peter looked at Beau Taylor, puzzled.
Beau Taylor explained, "Some Western practitioners have already deviated from the path of traditional cultivation; they focus more on body refinement. Though they can’t break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they can still possess immense power, enough to surpass Foundation Establishment experts in combat. Therefore, it’s almost impossible for Qi Refining realm cultivators from Earth to defeat them."
"Are there actually such people? Who are they?" Peter Brown was also surprised.
"Do you know why Charlie Harrison was so confident to leave? Their vampire arts have already changed and are no longer traditional cultivation arts. They have evolved into life-stealing techniques, borrowing life, energy absorption, and using everything at their disposal. Some of the individuals in their faction have surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage in terms of combat power, and Charlie Harrison himself is a very powerful person."
Recalling Charlie’s strength during the Heavenly Dao, Peter nodded and said, "It’s apparent that he is indeed very powerful."
Beau Taylor also introduced a few more groups of powerful individuals from Earth.
After introducing them, he looked at Peter and asked, "Peter, after telling you so much, do you understand my intentions?"
Peter had already understood and replied, "Great Elder is teaching me the art of survival."
"That’s right. Earth is , and the Cultivation World is even more dangerous. The more you show off, the more people will pay attention to you, and the more crises you will face. Look at the mortal world: those celebrities and officials in the spotlight may enjoy temporary glory but are easily targeted by others, and they could lose everything in a moment of carelessness. In contrast, ordinary people live quietly without fame or fortune, and many of them meet a good end."
Peter felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I have indeed been too high-profile."
Beau Taylor said, "I don’t know why you chose to put yourself in the limelight and expose yourself to everyone. It’s not advisable for a cultivator."
Thinking that his own Dao Source was almost complete, Peter could stop anytime now, so he nodded and said, "Indeed, I’ve been too ostentatious."
"You can refine pills, refine artifacts, know formations, make lots of money, and have no shortage of resources. You tell me, what would your situation be like in the Cultivation World? With so many experts surrounding you, what do they think of you? The truth is, you’ve already fallen into a crisis!"
At this point, Peter was also shocked, as what Beau Taylor said was true.
Beau Taylor continued, "If you were to refine Foundation-Establishment Pills, and some experts don’t want you to refine so many, thus affecting the balance of power among various factions, what would they do?"
Peter was shocked once again. What Beau Taylor said was true - if that were the case, they would definitely come to assassinate him.
Beau Taylor smiled and asked, "If someone like me wanted to kill you, do you think you could escape?"
Peter could only smile bitterly.
Beau Taylor continued, "As I’ve said, you can do everything. People of your caliber are needed by all factions. They value your knowledge even more. If they secretly take you down, you might be confined to a certain place for your entire life, never seeing daylight again. As far as I know, there are already several forces on Earth capable of doing so."
Beau Taylor’s words made Peter break into a cold sweat. Since he had just been released from prison recently, he wasn’t that aware of many things. }}Luckily, Beau Taylor had given him a valuable lesson.
"You didn’t finish high school before you went to prison, and after being released, you never had the time to ponder over many things, which is understandable. Life experience requires accumulation, and you have been too simplistic in this aspect."
Peter agreed, "Yes, I’ve done many things based on my own ideas."
"There aren’t many experts on Earth, and since you have been with the faction leaders all this time, you were naturally protected. Now that they have left, and the experts are gone, you need to be more cautious. In your situation, I believe you should hide yourself. It benefits you and your family members."
Mentioning his family, Peter said, "Please take care of my parents and my little sister, Kate."
"Don’t worry; even if you hadn’t asked, we would have trained them as priorities. As for your female friends and the likes, have you made any arrangements for them?"
Peter replied, "I’m currently considering it."
Beau Taylor suggested, "Join a few Grand Sects. I’ll help you talk to them—Mount Emei, Mount Hua, and Mount Hawkins. These three factions have strong foundations, and most importantly, they have a few old-timers who are most adept at hiding. If you’re willing, I can help you make arrangements. Once they’re taken care of, hiding your identity and secretly upgrade your cultivation will benefit you. Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you won’t have to fear anything on Earth, and your people will also be able to advance quickly."
Peter Brown worriedly asked, "With all of you gone, the sects will become weak. Can they still withstand threats?"
Beau Taylor laughed and said, "You think our faction leaders would leave so easily? Actually, we still have some ultimate weapons in our sects that can deal with Foundation Establishment experts, so you can rest assured about this matter."
So that’s how it was. Peter now had a better understanding of the situation in the Cultivation World.
