Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 381 - 379: Celestial Palace Master Tests Lu Ye? Lu Ye Cultivates on the Celestial Palace Floating Island, Source Qi Stirs, Palace Master Astonished!
Because... the jade token shot from the masked Palace Master’s hand brought him intense pressure!
In just a fleeting moment, Lu Ye judged that this token was absolutely not something he could easily catch; the Palace Master was testing him!
The silver-robed woman beside him also slightly widened her eyes at the first moment.
The Palace Master actually... decided to put this new East Cang List leader to the test?
Just, wasn’t it a bit overly domineering?
As a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm, the Silver Envoy can easily see.
At this moment, the token is imbued with terrifying force; even a Mortal Realm Grandmaster at perfection, close to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer, might not be able to catch it.
And this East Cang List leader, Chen Beixuan, when he ascended the list two hours ago, showed a cultivation of merely Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer.
Even if he relied on the feedback from being first to push to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer, he just entered this realm, and his foundation would certainly be unstable.
Wanting to catch this token... difficult!
But in the next second, the silver-robed woman saw the token was actually caught steadily by the unassuming man she brought along...
Immediately, the Silver Envoy was stunned.
No wonder he’s the new East Cang List leader; it seems there’s something to him?
And in front of the grand hall, the masked Palace Master revealed a slightly interested expression in his eyes.
"No wonder he’s a genius that can suppress Xiao Changqing’s stone monument pillar." The masked Palace Master lightly nodded and said, "Take this Mr. Chen to rest first."
The silver-robed woman nodded, just about to lead Lu Ye away.
Suddenly remembered something, bowed her head and said, "Reporting to the Palace Master... by the way, earlier when escorting Fellow Daoist Chen here to the Celestial Palace, it seems he was facing interception from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture people."
"Oh? Such a thing happened?" The masked Palace Master’s eyes fell on Lu Ye, his voice carrying a hint of amusement, "Mr. Chen, if it’s convenient, can you explain the reason?"
From the masked Palace Master’s tone, Lu Ye had a vague feeling...
The inquiry about this matter wasn’t out of concern for the Celestial Curtain Prefecture relations, but rather... seemed to have a bit of gossip interest.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye’s expression couldn’t help but turn somewhat odd.
Could it be boring from staying inside the Celestial Palace for too long?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye did not hide the truth; such hidden forces surely have extremely powerful intelligence networks outside.
A short while later, he recounted the terrifying chase he faced when he ascended to second.
However, amidst eighty percent truth, Lu Ye mixed in twenty percent minor embellishments.
That is, changing the narrative of killing the Fire Refining Demon to having severely injured him, then both the Flame Elder and Ren Congzhou fled wounded.
After all, when he ascended to second a month ago, his cultivation showed only Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer.
If he could kill someone at the Seventh Layer from the Second Layer, anyone would know something was abnormal about him.
Either it’s hidden strength or... there’s an extraordinary trump card.
Whereas if the Flame Elder fled wounded, though quite shocking, it ultimately doesn’t reveal information as terrifying as a kill.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Ye’s words, a clear trace of surprise emerged in the masked Palace Master’s revealed eyes.
His gaze at Lu Ye also carried an element of scrutiny.
As an inheritance guardian force of Xuanzhou, there’s understanding and gathering of various situations about Martial Arts Grandmasters and Grandmasters.
After all, how can one talk of guarding without understanding Xuanzhou’s situation?
And the Fire Refining Elder, among Eastern Territory Mortal Realm Grandmasters, is also a renowned figure, ranked among the top ten masters in the Eastern Territory!
This person could injure the Fire Refining Elder at the Seventh Layer while being only at Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer...
For such an outrageous claim, while it sounds incredible, the masked Palace Master somewhat believed.
After all, the disturbance he caused when ascending second on the Stone Monument also exceeded that of Xiao Changqing at the same position in the past, and by quite a bit.
"I understand. If the Celestial Curtain Prefecture has opinions on this, let them come forth; you may first escort Mr. Chen to rest."
"Yes, Palace Master."
...
Accompanying the silver-robed woman out of the grand hall, her gaze was different from when she first led Lu Ye into the Celestial Palace, carrying a hint of curiosity.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please follow me."
The two figures traversed through the Floating Island and finally arrived at a tranquil courtyard.
Opening the courtyard gate, the silver-robed woman said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you will rest here. If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to let me know."
"Thank you, Envoy." Lu Ye cupped his hands in gratitude, "By the way, I haven’t asked the Envoy’s honorable name yet?"
The silver-robed woman said, "My name is Sang Xiyao."
"Greetings, Xiyao Fairy."
Watching the silver-robed woman Sang Xiyao leave, Lu Ye walked into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi was also abundant and very concentrated.
Glancing around, Lu Ye noticed the traces of a Gathering Array inscribed within.
"Such a marvelous place, not cultivating would be letting down this ample Source Qi..."
With this thought, Lu Ye immediately entered the adjacent practice room, closed the door, laid down a barrier, and then began running the Ancient Star Scripture...
Meanwhile, in the grand hall.
Having just escorted Lu Ye to the courtyard, Sang Xiyao returned to the grand hall.
"Palace Master, Fellow Daoist Chen’s residence has been arranged." Upon entering the hall, Sang Xiyao directly stated.
"This young man is quite impressive, to severely injure someone from the Second Layer at the Seventh Layer, no wonder he surpassed Xiao Changqing." The masked Palace Master said interestingly.
"By the way, on the way here, did you inform him of the basic situation of the Celestial Palace, Xiyao?"
Upon hearing this, the silver-robed woman Sang Xiyao’s expression turned somewhat peculiar: "No... I didn’t."
"Oh, you didn’t tell him?" The masked Palace Master was slightly surprised: "Were you too busy to?"
Sang Xiyao gently inhaled, shook her head, and said, "Palace Master, I didn’t forget... he never let me start."
Subsequently, Sang Xiyao recounted the events on the journey here to the Palace Master.
After narrating, Sang Xiyao helplessly added, "I even tried introducing him later, but he stopped me."
Masked Palace Master: "..."
This young man seems... indeed a bit unusual.
Just as the thought emerged, suddenly, the masked Palace Master sensed something and abruptly looked outside the hall...
While the silver-robed woman Sang Xiyao’s cultivation was much weaker, and her senses were a beat slower, she looked outside the hall with a hint of shock two seconds later.
"Huh, why is the Heaven and Earth Source Qi on the main island behaving unusually?"
Thinking briefly, Sang Xiyao questioned, "Is there an issue with some Gathering Array?"
The Array, set long ago, doesn’t work perfectly indefinitely without additional efforts like repairs or reinforcement.
Various major arrays of the Celestial Palace have been set up for many years; issues like near-failure or malfunction have occurred before.
Given this, Sang Xiyao first thought of such a possibility.
Unexpectedly, after glancing at the sky twice, the masked Palace Master shook his head, confidently stating.
"It’s not a gathering array problem, but rather..."
"Someone has invoked the Heaven and Earth Source Qi across this celestial realm with an unexpectedly powerful cultivation technique!"
Upon hearing this, the silver-robed woman Sang Xiyao, possessing the Grandmaster Realm of Earth Realm, stood in place, stunned.
