Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 366 - 364: Advancement to Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer! Thanks to the Fire Refining Demon’s Contribution, Even the Bunny Wasn’t Spared?
Lu Ye’s secluded breakthrough lasted for several days.
In the mountain cave, one wave of Heaven and Earth Source Qi vanished, only to be replaced immediately by a new wave, alternating back and forth.
Accompanied by Lu Ye swallowing a Tier Five Elixir at the right moment, a massive energy surged within his body!
The moment this vast energy appeared, it immediately loosened the barrier at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer.
In an instant, the Source Crystals placed before Lu Ye were absorbed one by one, shattering into powder.
As Lu Ye began breaking through, mysterious phenomena gradually appeared above this Celestial Realm.
Even in the brightness of day, with the sunlight so strong, one could vaguely see faint twinkling stars.
This phenomenon immediately caught the attention of many.
"Am I seeing things? Why does it seem like there are stars in the sky during the day?"
"Now that you mention it, I feel like I can’t see clearly either, is this an illusion? What’s with these specks of starlight?!"
This is different from conventional phenomena like thunder, wind, or rain. A discerning person could immediately see that this incident surely had cause!
...
Elsewhere.
With the confirmed demise of the Five Poison Sect Leader, highlighting the unequivocal truth, the Chen Family returned to Luohua City.
As the Chen Family’s convoy reached their ancestral home once more, many from the Chen Family gazed at the slightly desolate estate, feeling sentimental.
They initially thought that with the powerful Five Poison Sect around, they would never return in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, the world’s grand scheme changes in an instant.
These days, Chen Lingxiang was preoccupied with arranging the family’s return to Luohua City, thus not keenly keeping up with external news.
Therefore, she wasn’t very informed about the events in the Eastern Territory.
Only after settling the Chen Family convoy did she belatedly receive the news.
"Eastern Territory... he encountered such events there?!"
While moving a box, Chen Lingxiang heard the news and the box clattered to the ground.
Immediately, Chen Lingxiang sent a message with her Jade Token.
"I have yet to thank you for annihilating the Five Poison Sect... You must stay safe."
Chen Lingxiang murmured to herself in her heart.
From the moment she learned of the Five Poison’s downfall, she had a suspicion of who was responsible.
The subsequent incident outside Red Maple City only confirmed to Chen Lingxiang that he had unwittingly... achieved the status of Mortal Realm Grandmaster!
Mortal Realm Grandmaster... how young is Lu Ye?!
In comparison, her reputation as a genius of an Innate family seemed insignificant.
...
Cloud Leaf City.
Since discovering the individual outside Red Maple City, possibly the one who once snatched the Starfall Spirit Sword, Saintess Xihua had been waiting intentionally.
She even visited the Jiang Family twice in hopes of finding someone.
Sadly, that person never returned.
Until she heard that someone had reached second place on the East Cang Stele, inciting a Mortal Realm Grandmaster manhunt...
She was almost dumbfounded!
An ancient stele like the East Cang Stele also exists in Yun Province, recording the names of prodigies under fifty over the past millennium; naturally, she was familiar with it.
The requirement for the lowest listing on all thirty names is the Grandmaster Late Stage in the Martial Arts.
The top twenty positions are entirely occupied by Grandmasters.
"What did he do?! How did it result in a Grandmaster manhunt?!"
Saintess Xihua was slightly bewildered.
He can’t come to harm!
If he does, won’t the Starfall Spirit Sword also vanish?
Thus, even Saintess Xihua silently began to pray in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.
During this time, the little rabbit inside the cave woke twice and resumed absorbing the dense source qi, falling back into a slumber each time.
Under the intense influx of this source qi, the little rabbit felt as if something was unlocked within its body.
At this point, Lu Ye’s breakthrough had reached the most critical moment.
The thirty Source Crystals placed earlier had now neatly turned to dust, leaving none behind.
Flipping his hand, he drew out ten more Source Crystals, which shattered instantaneously, their energy fully absorbed, as Lu Ye launched his final charge at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer!
Boom!
With the barrier shattered, it felt as though mysterious echoes resounded within him.
Lu Ye sensed that Source Qi in his Dantian seemed on the verge of solidifying.
If Source Qi could fully liquefy, it indicated its concentration had reached an entirely new level.
After all, a clump of Source Qi can’t match the content of a single drop.
"I broke through to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer, all thanks to the Fire Refining Demon’s contribution..."
Satisfied, Lu Ye stood from the cave, feeling his energy restored and all injuries healed, he softly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Unfortunately, the first node of the Seven Stars diagram inside me is still unlit. It seems that only by reaching first place on the East Cang Stele can it be illuminated, the top three aren’t enough."
Gazing at the dim Seven Stars diagram within, Lu Ye slightly shook his head.
The good news is, around ten days have passed; twenty days later, it will be time for him to claim the top spot on the East Cang Stele.
The current top of the East Cang Stele is Xiao Changqing.
The Stone Monument displays his strength at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer.
During the monument climbing challenge, one can write their name using Martial Techniques or Divine Techniques.
Since Xiao Changqing has maintained the top spot for so many years, it implies his underlying strength is indeed formidable.
However, Lu Ye remains confident.
Even if the Heaven-Defying Three Swords fail, using the Small Success Realm Illusory Destruction Yin Yang Finger should suffice.
"Fortunately, the Illusory Destruction Yin Yang Finger is not far from Great Success either."
Once mastered, this Lower Grade Divine Technique in his hands will exert even greater power.
Removing the barriers he had set up, he glanced at the cave corner where the sleeping little rabbit still lay.
Remembering how this little creature had previously helped him test the elixir, Lu Ye went over and infused it with a stream of pure source qi.
"Even if this source qi can’t open up a path for you in cultivation, at least it should let you run faster, making you less likely to be prey to those carnivorous fierce beasts."
Rising and dusting off his hands, Lu Ye exited the cave.
Outside the cave, Youluo had been waiting for several days already.
Seeing Lu Ye emerge, she excitedly asked, "Did you succeed in your breakthrough, my lord husband?!"
"I did," Lu Ye nodded with a faint smile on his lips.
A moment later, the two left the place together.
Meanwhile, the sleeping little rabbit felt...
Something vague and indefinable had materialized inside it.
