Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 357 - 355: Absorbing Xiao Shu Again, Breaking Through Another Realm—Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer! Seven Stars Map in the Body!
Jiang Lianshan surveyed the room and asked gravely, "What do you all think?"
Upon hearing this, the group of family elders did not immediately reply. When these reports reached their ears, their first reaction was...
How is this possible?!
This is utterly unbelievable!
Their Jiang Family’s son-in-law, how old is he now?
Having joined the Jiang Family for four years, based on the birth date and age recorded in the marriage contract, he should be only twenty-four or twenty-five now!
A twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old man, and you say he has the capability to slay the Five Poison Demons like an unparalleled grandmaster?!
Are you telling tales?
It’s not that these elders don’t dare to believe it, but throughout the recorded history of the Northern Territory, no such extraordinary individual has ever emerged!
It’s often said that seeing is believing. In their eyes, the son-in-law was clearly only Postnatal Realm.
"Patriarch, this old man believes, could it be that somewhere along the line, something went wrong?" one of the family elders cautiously chose his words, saying, "Our oldest son-in-law is indeed of exemplary talent, and his subsequent cultivation wasn’t exactly slow, but the gap between him and the Grandmaster Realm, not to mention the Grandmaster itself, should still be quite far."
"So, they mistook him for someone else?" Jiang Lianshan frowned, but wasn’t that too hasty a conclusion?
Only Jiang Qingge, sitting on a chair, remained calm. In a way, she had learned a bit of Lu Ye’s essence.
Seeing his daughter’s calm expression, as if she knew something all along, Jiang Lianshan asked, "Qingge, what do you think? Lu Ye is my son-in-law and your husband. Surely, your understanding of him is deeper than ours or anyone else’s."
Jiang Qingge was already aware that Lu Ye was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, knowing he was the mysterious figure living in seclusion outside Cloud Leaf City.
Now, hearing her father’s question, Jiang Qingge pondered and said, "Lu Ye hasn’t told me anything, but... it’s possible, and it’s also possible not."
The group of family elders: "..."
Since marrying, how has Qingge learned a fraction of Lu Ye’s mannerisms?
What does she mean by possibly, and yet also not? Doesn’t that cover all possibilities?
At this moment, Jiang Qingge was also diligently analyzing her husband’s intentions.
In her opinion, if Lu Ye didn’t want to reveal himself at all, no one should have discovered his hidden identity.
Now that his identity was exposed...
Was it intentional on his part?
Jiang Lianshan then pondered for a long time and said, "Regardless of whether Lu Ye is truly the esteemed figure rumored outside, from now on, no one can show any disrespect towards him!"
"Anyone who violates this will be dealt with according to family rules!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qingge had no objections, and the group of family elders nodded repeatedly.
Elsewhere.
"A Mortal Realm Grandmaster, and so young?!"
Nangong Xihua was dumbfounded as she looked at the scene in the Memory Stone.
In her Yun Province, a Mortal Realm Grandmaster of this age simply did not exist!
How can such a terrifying person exist in a small Xuanzhou?
"Furthermore, his figure... why does it seem familiar?"
The Saintess Xihua diligently searched her memory, and suddenly, a figure, with distinctive features, began to match his...
In an instant, Nangong Xihua’s eyes widened: "Could it be... him?!"
The handsome face who took her Starfall Spirit Sword?!
He’s also from Cloud Leaf City?!
At that moment, Nangong Xihua suddenly felt a sense of serendipity, like searching high and low only to find her target by chance.
"He’s the husband of the Jiang Family’s eldest miss?!" Nangong Xihua muttered, but if he truly was a Mortal Realm Grandmaster...
It seemed she could not retrieve the Starfall Spirit Sword.
"Unless, I collaborate with him?" In an instant, Nangong Xihua’s eyes sparkled, believing there’s a ninety-percent chance he wasn’t aware of the treasure hidden within the Starfall Spirit Sword.
And since she knew, once she discussed with him...
There should be an opportunity, right?
Cooperation would be a win-win situation.
...
Inside the cave.
The turmoil of the outside world did not bother Lu Ye in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, a few more days had passed since Lu Ye’s breakthrough to Mortal Realm Grandmaster Third Layer.
At this moment, he had reached the middle stage of the Third Layer.
During this time, Lu Ye halted the Circulation of Heaven and opened his eyes.
Because, within his Myriad Dao Pavilion...
The little tree, which came from the Broken Soul Secret Realm and whose energy was drained last time, had now completely restored!
It exuded an incomparably pure energy that would make even Earth Realm or Celestial Realm Grandmasters envious!
"Finally, I can absorb it again."
At the moment of retrieving the little tree, several barriers to prevent any leakage of aura were erected.
Then, just as Lu Ye was about to open the Ancient Star Scripture, he inexplicably remembered Ye Youyu, who possessed the Purple Moon Body.
Shaking his head, Lu Ye cast aside his other thoughts. Behind him, stars began to manifest.
It must be said, this little tree, even as a sapling, provided terrifyingly pure energy.
Moreover, each wave of energy seemed to have a restorative effect on the body, like the essence of ten thousand trees.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye’s cultivation surged from the middle stage of the Third Layer...
Two days later...
He advanced to the late stage of the Third Layer!
Five days later... Perfection of the Third Layer! The little tree’s leaves started to yellow, and Lu Ye began preparing to break into the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer!
This time, Little Ling was truly of no help, as its own condensation of Spirit Liquid was only about a quarter complete.
Nonetheless, at this moment, Little Ling remained in the cave, manifesting as a reishi and diligently exuding the fragrance of spirit medicine...
The Third Layer and Fourth Layer marked a familiar dividing line between early and middle stages.
Lu Ye immediately took out twenty Source Crystals, quickly inscribing a small Source Attraction Array to interlink all twenty Source Crystals.
"The opportunity is right in front of me; Fourth Layer... here I come."
Taking a slow breath, stars behind Lu Ye twinkled, and a Source Crystal rapidly turned into powder at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!
Next came the second, third...
Wave after wave of energy entered his body, beginning to accumulate.
Time gradually passed...
Inside the cave, light flickered. Lu Ye had no idea how much time had elapsed outside.
He only knew that his first wave of impact had undoubtedly failed, but without any disappointment, he immediately took out the second wave of Source Crystals and re-arranged them on the Source Attraction Array.
The third wave...
Finally, the stubborn barrier of his realm showed a slight slack!
Boom!
Inside his body, it was as if a faint thunder resounded. Lu Ye suddenly felt as if his inner Spiritual Sense had entered a whole new world!
Not only had his meridians expanded significantly, but within his otherwise ordinary Dantian...
There appeared an unlit map of Seven Stars!
On the map, the first node had two small characters clearly visible.
East Cang!
Gazing internally at the mysterious changes in his Qi Sea Dantian, Lu Ye’s heart trembled slightly.
East Cang...
Could it be referring to that ancient East Cang Stele located in East Cang City?!
