Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 661 - 651 Heaven-Reaching

"How can you say that? Since you're here, stay well. I'll bring in your Qingqiu Fox for you!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Lu Ren's words seemed like a soothing spring breeze, yet Su Zhi heard them and trembled all over, looking at him with defiance.

It's as if he wants to annihilate the entire Qingqiu Fox clan!!

"No!"

Upon hearing Su Zhi's outright rejection of his proposal, she stubbornly glared at him.

Lu Ren's face darkened slightly, and he said with some displeasure, "I'm not a bad person."

"Who believes that?"

Lu Ren stepped forward, and Su Zhi couldn't help but shrink back slightly. Then, seemingly realizing her behavior was unbecoming of someone with righteous causes, she finally sat upright with a look of dignified composure.

Seeing Su Zhi's demeanor of readiness to be plucked, Lu Ren took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

Crackling!!

"Ah... Ouch, it hurts... No, stop!!"

Amid Su Zhi's cries of pain, Lu Ren continued his beating for half an hour before stopping.

Looking at Su Zhi, whose face was swollen, the tight knot on Lu Ren's brow finally relaxed. At this moment, Su Zhi's seductive aura was completely gone.

Anyone seeing this fellow with such a swollen face would have their desires extinguished by a splash of cold water.

Coming out from the Inner Heaven and Earth World, Lu Ren was visibly annoyed. Su Zhi seemed to be lost in thoughts akin to those anime-obsessed recluses who constantly imagine new worlds.

Sitting on the doorstep of his temporary rental, Lu Ren looked contemplative. Erlang God had gone to find his dog, and if the Heaven-Howling Dog were to die, Yang Jian might blacken and cause another storm across the Three Realms.

Making things more akin to a speedy pursuit.

Now the Patrol Bureau of the Celestial Palace is clearly not a return option. If he returns, it's a sure trap, and the Queen Mother isn't foolish. She only needs to send someone to investigate, and she would easily find out Lu Ren's schemes. If she pays a bit more attention, the Queen Mother might be so enraged in the Jasper Pool that she would smash pots and bowls, wanting to destroy the world!

Indeed, as Lu Ren stated, at this moment, the Jasper Pool was nearly demolished by the furious Queen Mother herself.

She panted slightly, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, tightly gripping the railing, staring straight ahead.

From here, she only needed to direct her mana to her eyes, using the Celestial Eye Technique to observe the Three Realms, revealing everything.

Yet, despite her long surveillance, she still couldn't find any trace of Lu Ren—even using Lu Ren's name to track, it was impossible to discover the slightest clue.

It's as if this person, like Monkey Sun, had leapt from a stone, not within the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, utterly undetectable by any divine techniques like the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Tracking Magic.

"Outer Demon..."

After a moment, the Queen Mother squeezed out these two words from between her teeth, facing such a situation as a once-glorious battlefield Queen, how could she not recognize where the opponent's origins lie?

Having toyed her around for so long, how could the Queen Mother not know? Clearly, the opponent possesses an extremely deep understanding of the Three Realms, allowing him to navigate to this extent, even force his way into the Flat Peach, avoiding even the Arrays suppressed by Innate Spiritual Treasures to pluck the Flat Peach imbued with Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"There's no need for the Queen Mother to be overly angry. That Hongmeng Flat Peach merely increases one's foundation, and you have already reached Celestial Venerable status; even if you consume the Hongmeng Flat Peach, breaking through the limits is impossible."

The Queen Mother turned her head, looking at a man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a straight posture, dressed in a purple-blue Taoist robe, with a chakra slowly revolving behind his head, gazing at the Queen Mother with a faint smile.

The Queen Mother frowned coldly, "Heaven-Reaching, this is the Jasper Pool, according to the contract, you shouldn't be here!"

Heaven-Reaching did not change his expression, still wearing a light smile, "Yuanshi could come here, Profound City Taiqing could come here, so why can't I?"

Despite her unkind words, Heaven-Reaching remained calm and showed no signs of anger, surprising the Queen Mother somewhat. She looked him up and down before speaking faintly, "Seems the Shangqing Celestial Venerable has gone through some things and cultivated some patience."

Heaven-Reaching did not get angry but instead remarked, "The order of Heaven and Earth is easy to establish, the Celestial Heart is difficult to fathom, the great Way is hard to pursue, and cultivation is challenging."

The Queen Mother said, "You Three Pristine Ones are like branches of the same tree yet tear at each other's faces. This chessboard of the Three Realms is all yours; how can it threaten your survival?"

Heaven-Reaching shook his head slightly without speaking, merely gazing upwards at the vast sea of stars.

Back then, the Heaven-Reaching brothers collectively ventured out, establishing the three sects. Eventually, conflicts in philosophy arose, causing mutual dissatisfaction. Despite Jie Sect's abundance of people and resources, both Yuanshi and Supreme found Heaven-Reaching rigid and stubborn, occupying too many resources, and with varying quality among the personnel below.

So they found some reason to practice, eventually beating Heaven-Reaching to a pulp; now that Jie Sect has hidden, Heaven-Reaching no longer meddles with worldly affairs, reasons for emerging are unclear.

The Queen Mother's mind was filled with doubt, uninhibitedly inquiring directly, reaching their realm, it's better to speak openly than to hide matters.

Heaven-Reaching's gaze was profound, with infinite mysteries swirling within.

"I see a moment of opportunity for breaking the predicament."

The Queen Mother's expression shifted subtly. Those who reach Celestial Venerable aren't fools, and with Heaven-Reaching's words now uttered, she knew what Heaven-Reaching was contemplating.

"Are you trying to find opportunities outside the Three Realms?"

Heaven-Reaching's face showed a trace of a smile, then slowly walked to the nearby railing outside, looking down at the Three Realms from the Nine Heavens Jasper Pool.

"This land has become a dead end, with endless cycles to ensure the stability of the Three Realms."

Heaven-Reaching's eyes sparkled with a mesmerizing force: "To progress further, one must seek it beyond the outer realms."

The Queen Mother was moved, finally understanding Heaven-Reaching's intentions.

"You want to leave this place?"

Heaven-Reaching showed no concealment, nodding in confirmation.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but remark, "You, being part of the Three Pristine Ones, were inherently born of this world, formed from the Innate Chaotic Qi, one Qi separating into the Three Pristine Ones, with such origins, the entire world supports you—here is your true domain. If you leave, there'll be no more worldly support for your actions—every move won't be heaven-bestowed and will rely solely on your strength."

Heaven-Reaching said calmly, "This is both heaven's boon and a shackle. I've hit the ceiling at the Celestial Venerable level, my path ahead is like a chasm—I must escape and shed these bindings, or everlasting advancement will be impossible."

The Queen Mother pondered for a long while, then finally asked, "Why do you share these thoughts with me?"

Heaven-Reaching's face showed a smile, as if she had finally hit the nail on the head, prompting Queen Mother nearly to throw her hairpin blindly, stabbing Heaven-Reaching's eyes.
