Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 967 - 963: A Visit

He quickly put aside these distracting thoughts.

Focused on the stone plate in front of him.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

He swung his sword continuously, almost striking the same position.

He practiced the Leng Family Nine Swords deeply, with profound basic skills, hitting precisely at the same spot was not difficult.

Already forgot how many swords he swung, feeling the subtle changes in the stone plate.

"Stop!"

Suddenly a stern shout, Leng Yuqing accompanied by a middle-aged man arrived gracefully.

She scolded sharply and stepped forward to seize Leng Tieya’s longsword: "Stop fooling around!"

Leng Tieya hurriedly said: "Big sister, I’m doing something serious, don’t cause trouble!"

"I see you’re mad, this is the treasure of our Leng Family, you dare act recklessly!"

"Just cutting a small corner, it’s not a big deal." Leng Tieya helplessly put down the stone plate.

He then stood up and cupped his hands in greeting: "Third Uncle."

The middle-aged man before him was imposing, with eyes burning bright, seeming to pierce through to one’s heart, commanding respect without anger.

Of course, he recognized this middle-aged man as Leng Changhe, his father’s third uncle.

The family head of the previous generation.

Now retired to the elder position, overseeing some of the Leng Family’s hidden power.

Leng Changhe waved his hand, sat at the stone table, and scrutinized him: "Yuqing said you want to find the other half of the stone plate?"

"Uncle, where did this stone plate come from?"

"It fell from the sky into the Demon Realm, picked up by our ancestors, it’s a stroke of great luck."

"Then the Martial Arts Heart Methods of other families also fell from the sky?"

"Most of the other families’ techniques are from heritage."

"Where did the origin of the heritage come from?"

"It should be said from the Demon Abyss."

"Demon Abyss..." Leng Tieya couldn’t understand this answer.

"After the reincarnation of the Great Sky Demon, awakening past life memories, thereby obtaining the original heritage, forming the family."

"Then after the Great Sky Demon reincarnates, must cultivate some techniques to re-enter the realm of the Great Sky Demon and thus recover past life memories?"

"It’s said initially, the Great Heavenly Demon Palace sought out those with astonishing talent to enter the palace to cultivate the palace’s Heart Method, thereby achieving the Great Sky Demon and restoring the past life heritage."

"Great Heavenly Demon Palace... where does the heritage of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace come from?"

"Obtained from the outer world."

Leng Tieya’s spirit lifted: "All obtained from the outer world, could our Nine Solutions of Heavenly Demon be as good as the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Leng Changhe smiled.

He was serious and dignified, yet even with a smile, his dignity was undiminished: "Though the words are arrogant, they may well be true."

Leng Tieya said: "Uncle, if we find the other half of the stone plate, we have hope to become the first family."

Leng Changhe said: "Previous generations of family heads and disciples exhausted their efforts to no avail, several ancestors were sure it isn’t in this realm, since then, our Leng Family disciples no longer waste effort on it."

"Not in this realm..." Leng Tieya frowned: "How to conclude it’s not in this realm?"

"Several ancestors were Great Sky Demons, specifically cultivated the Secret Technique of deduction and tracking but found nothing, firmly concluding the other half is not within this realm."

"..." Leng Tieya frowned deep in thought.

Leng Yuqing said: "Tieya, you’re disappointed now, aren’t you?"

Leng Tieya looked at Leng Changhe: "What does Uncle think?"

Leng Tieya shook his head: "Almost impossible to find, unless luck is extraordinary."

"Extraordinary luck..." Leng Tieya laughed: "My luck is quite surprising now, ... I want to give it a try."

Leng Yuqing hurriedly said: "Don’t mess around, if the stone plate is destroyed, then it’s really no hope left."

Leng Tieya said: "Uncle, may I carry it with me?"

"You’re catching up now, further hone yourself, enter the First Grade early and then into the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, this is the bright path, no need to waste effort."

This youngest has potential worth cultivating, though not as good as the eldest, still has hope to enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

Leng Tieya said: "Uncle, I want to try, second brother can also enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace."

"...Alright." Leng Changhe thought for a moment: "One month, if there’s no result within a month, then return the stone plate."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"If you can find the other half of the stone plate, the next family head will be yours."

"Yes." Leng Tieya solemnly.

Becoming the Leng Family head would elevate status, gain more power and secrets, thus thoroughly understand the Demon Realm.

Leng Yuqing shook her head repeatedly.

Feeling disapproving but refrained from speaking due to Leng Changhe’s presence.

After seeing Leng Changhe off, Leng Yuqing returned to the small courtyard and tugged at Leng Tieya’s ear.

Leng Tieya quickly dodged: "Big sister, I’m not a child anymore!"

Leng Yuqing stopped, placing her hands on her waist, glaring at him angrily: "Not a child? The things you’re doing now are childish foolishness!?"

Leng Tieya said: "Since my luck is good now, why not risk a shot?"

"Risk what!" Leng Yuqing scolded: "Those ancestors have better talent and luck than you, and what was the result? ... You fool, instead of rushing to the First Grade realm, wasting time to find the stone plate is absurd!"

The younger one achieves First Grade, the better, the shorter the time, the better.

What’s most important now is to advance to the First Grade so that the Great Heavenly Demon Palace takes notice, and enter the palace to cultivate the higher Heart Method.

Rather than searching for the other half of the stone plate.

If one must search for the other half, it should not be now, why not after entering the palace?

This logic he must understand, yet he’s being muddled, how can one not be angry?

Leng Tieya said: "Big sister, the Meng Family will sooner or later come looking, I need to go outside for a while, and conveniently look for the other half."

"Conveniently look for it?"

"Yes, conveniently, won’t neglect cultivation."

"Better think it through carefully, don’t lose out on the important and ruin your life!"

"Understood, understood, don’t worry big sister, next time back I’ll be First Grade."

The Demon Realm is vast, he can go anywhere, even the Demon Realm and Human World.

The Meng Family is a major family, but their numbers are ultimately limited, as long as he’s not in Zhongyun City, there’s no fear of being found, free and unrestrained.

"Will you leave?"

"Leave soon, lest Meng Family blocks the way."

"But your engagement with the Lu Family..." Leng Yuqing frowned.

Leng Tieya’s face immediately sank.

Leng Yuqing sighed: "This was decided by the family head personally, without reneging, otherwise our Leng Family and Lu Family might have conflicts or even discord."

"Big sister!" Leng Tieya sneered: "Anyone willing can marry Miss Lu, anyway I won’t!"

"Her reputation is bad, but it may not be the real case." Leng Yuqing said: "I investigated closely, someone is spreading rumors intentionally harming Miss Lu’s reputation."

Leng Tieya said: "Who has such nerve to tarnish Miss Lu’s reputation?"

The Lu Family is also one of the Nine Great Families in Zhongyun City, who would dare have such courage?

"Still investigating."

"Regardless of true or false, I absolutely won’t marry Miss Lu." Leng Tieya shook his head: "Big sister, don’t mention it again."

Leng Yuqing shook her head: "If you dare breach this engagement, you’ll be directly expelled from the family."

Leng Tieya snorted: "Big sister, I’ll rest for two days then leave."

Just then, a graceful maid entered lightly, whispered a few words in Leng Yuqing’s ear.

Leng Yuqing frowned: "People sent by Miss Lu?"

"Yes." The graceful maid nodded, with a calm and gentle demeanor.

"Miss Lu sent people over?" Leng Tieya laughed: "How absurd."

"Let’s meet them first." Leng Yuqing waved her hand.

The graceful maid made a gentle bow and retreated.

Leng Yuqing got up and walked outside, stopping at the small courtyard’s entrance, with one foot out the door and the other inside.

She turned to look at him: "Aren’t you going to take a look?"
