Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 407 - 405: Joining Up with the Former Red Cloud Fairy, Arrival at the Location, The Weak Northern Territory, Someone Wants to Overawe Lu Ye?
Hearing this, Lu Ye felt that what Xiao Qingyin said made some sense.
"Then please take care of it," Lu Ye clasped his hands towards Xiao Qingyin and said.
"I didn’t realize you had such a polite side," Xiao Qingyin glanced at Lu Ye several times and said, "Previously, before revealing your true identity, you weren’t this polite to me."
She still remembered that in the past few meetings with Lu Ye, he hadn’t been polite to her at all.
Lu Ye smiled faintly and said, "The past is the past, and now is now. They can’t be generalized."
After thinking about it, Xiao Qingyin’s expression grew much more serious, and she said, "By the way, I need to remind you of something: the gathering place is in the Eastern Territory."
"When the Yunyao Secret Realm opens, it will gather the top Mortal Realm Grandmasters from the entire Xuanzhou. There might be a few who miss out due to seclusion, but overall strength will be top-notch in Xuanzhou. If sometimes someone says something to you, and you can pretend you didn’t hear it, just try to ignore it for the sake of peace."
After saying this, Xiao Qingyin sighed slightly.
Every time it involves the Four Realms, their Northern Territory has always been the weakest.
This also leads to the fact that in the Four Realms, the Northern Territory is somewhat looked down upon by the other three realms.
Xiao Qingyin knew Lu Ye’s strength was not bad.
But for this secret realm matter, in the other three realms, each single realm has several or even a dozen Mortal Realm Grandmasters participating.
From top to bottom, the Northern Territory only has one Mortal Realm Grandmaster, weak and lacking in strength.
If a conflict arose, the other realms could unite their forces, while even if she was willing to stand on the same front as Lu Ye, in terms of strength, she couldn’t provide any help.
Hearing Xiao Qingyin’s words, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. He also realized that Xiao Qingyin’s words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye also figured it might be due to the perennial weakness of the Northern Territory.
This kind reminder was also out of goodwill.
Therefore, Lu Ye nodded and said nonchalantly, "I will. I’m not an impulsive person."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingyin felt a little relieved.
A moment later, she remembered something and curiously asked, "By the way, may I have the audacity to ask, what is your cultivation level now?"
Xiao Qingyin said, "If it’s below the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer, I know of two places in the Yunyao Secret Realm where high-tier Mortal Realm Grandmasters would not be interested. We can go and gather some resources."
Lu Ye’s heart was moved, and he said, "I’m just at around the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer."
He had a bit of disregard for resources below the Grandmaster Realm now.
But as long as there are resources around the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Realm, relying on his own Hundredfold Amplification, he could still make good use of them.
The summit realm he left on the East Cang Stele List back then was the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer, so Lu Ye followed up with this statement.
"You’re actually at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer?!" Xiao Qingyin was somewhat surprised.
When he killed the Five Poison Sect Leader back then, he should have been around the first or second layer of the Grandmaster Realm.
Unexpectedly, after this period, he had advanced several small levels.
In the Grandmaster Realm, a small level is not comparable to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm; it requires considerably more resources and painstaking cultivation time.
"The gathering spot is in the Eastern Territory, and the Yunyang Secret Realm is also at a border junction between the Eastern Territory and the Southern Territory, only the Lingyao Celestial Palace holds the key to open the Yunyao Secret Realm."
Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Xiao Qingyin explained in a low voice as she walked forward.
Since time was still relatively ample, the two didn’t rush their journey too much.
It took three days to arrive in the Eastern Territory.
Then again, it took another two days to reach a valley within the Eastern Territory.
Upon arrival, within a hundred mile radius in this area, they could already see quite a few figures.
Without exception, these figures all exuded a formidable aura, at least the Grandmaster Realm.
Normally, in other places, one wouldn’t see so many at or above the Grandmaster Realm.
As Xiao Qingyin and Lu Ye arrived, several people immediately glanced towards Xiao Qingyin.
Xiao Qingyin’s strength, in such a setting, wasn’t remarkable.
But her aura and appearance were exceptionally outstanding among female cultivators.
Thus, she instantly drew quite a bit of attention.
"Isn’t this Fairy Xiao from Red Cloud Sect of the Northern Territory? Long time no see, Fairy Qingyin, your elegance has surpassed the past,"
At this moment, a man with a face somewhat pockmarked, with the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer, approached.
Afterward, the pockmarked man’s gaze landed on Lu Ye beside Xiao Qingyin, and with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he said, "Who are you, and why are you with Fairy Qingyin?"
As the words fell, the pockmarked man discreetly unleashed his aura, directly oppressing Lu Ye!
If Lu Ye could not withstand it, he would be forced to retreat with his head lowered right where he stood.
Needless to say, his face would surely be lost.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Qingyin’s expression slightly changed; she had not expected to encounter such a situation right upon arrival.
"Qu Kai, what are you doing?!" Although her strength was far inferior to Qu Kai, already a Mortal Realm Grandmaster, as soon as she saw this person intending to oppress Lu Ye, Xiao Qingyin’s expression instantly turned serious.
Although Lu Ye himself claimed to also be the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer, Qu Kai had been at this level for several years, and was considered a veteran among the Fourth Layer.
Xiao Qingyin didn’t know whether Lu Ye could withstand Qu Kai’s pressure, but she gritted her teeth and chose to question.
She knew her identity wasn’t enough to deter Qu Kai, so she brought up the Lingyao Celestial Palace.
"We are all invited participants by the Lingyao Celestial Palace for the Secret Realm. If you make a move now... are you disrespecting the Celestial Palace?"
Qu Kai’s expression changed slightly but soon returned to normal, smiling carelessly: "Xiao Qingyin, you don’t need to bring up the Lingyao Celestial Palace to pressure me. Whom wouldn’t give the Celestial Palace face? I, Qu, have always respected the Celestial Palace."
After a pause, Qu Kai continued: "A friendly exchange between me and this fellow cultivator shouldn’t provoke any comment, even if the Celestial Palace Envoy were here."
"If a cultivator doesn’t even have the courage to spar with others, what’s the point of cultivating? Why attend the Yunyao Secret Realm? Better to head home for milk!"
At the same time, dozens of cultivators at least in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, nearby, were casting amused glances.
Qu Kai’s level, naturally, couldn’t be considered the best among the Mortal Realm Grandmasters, but for those below the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer...
He was a mountain, a sea! An unsurpassable peak!
Dealing with Mortal Realm Grandmasters, even the Third Layer, was effortless.
"You... are being unreasonable!" Xiao Qingyin was somewhat furious, but at the same time, a sense of powerlessness surged within her.
This powerlessness was no different from when she first realized Lu Ye’s true identity.
Without enough strength, in such a gathering before the opening of a secret realm... one has no voice at all.
No one would take seriously anything you say!
Just then, Lu Ye suddenly waved his hand at Xiao Qingyin, then looked at Qu Kai across from him.
"You like sparring? Then... I’ll grant your wish."
Immediately, Qu Kai felt that his Spiritual Sense oppression had indeed fallen unobstructed upon that man.
But the feedback he received... made Qu Kai feel as though the other side was a vast, boundless ocean!
Qu Kai’s own Spiritual Sense seemed to have turned into a tiny boat drifting in the vast ocean!
