Bai Li Cheng Feng raised the cup of wine in his hand and drank it in one gulp. A strange phenomenon occurred in the heavens, and his true energy burst out of his body. Bai Li Cheng Feng had actually risen three realms with a single cup of wine.
He went directly from the initial stage of Fuyuan Realm to the mid-stage of Great Joy Realm. It’s worth noting that the mid-stage of Great Joy Realm is equivalent to a half-step Sword Immortal.
Bai Li Cheng Feng's cultivation technique was the Instant-Kill Sword Art, a technique so fast that even Bai Li Dong Jun, who had already stepped into the Heavenly Joy Realm, couldn’t make out his movements. It was evident how powerful Bai Li Cheng Feng was.
A single sword, instant-kill, traversing thousands of miles without leaving a trace. This is Bai Li Cheng Feng.
Now, having entered the mid-stage of Great Joy Realm, his strength could even withstand a confrontation with a Sword Immortal.
Bai Li Cheng Feng regained his senses and stared at his father in shock, “Father, I broke through, I actually broke through! It’s amazing, our Bai Li family now has two Great Joy Realm powerhouses!”
“Let’s see who in Tianqi City still dares to plot against our Bai Li family!”
Bai Li Luo Chen slapped Bai Li Cheng Feng on the forehead, “You fool! Why don’t you yell a bit louder, let the entire Tianqi City know that our Bai Li family now controls a large army in Bei Li, and is acting arrogantly. Let those people below come and offer their allegiance!”
Bai Li Cheng Feng quickly hid behind Wen Luo Yu.
Wen Luo Yu raised her cup of wine and drank it down, “What’s the point of tasting the hundred flavors of the world? It’s not as good as a moment of soaring through the celestial palace!”
“Lady, didn’t you break through?”
Wen Luo Yu shook her head, “No, but I feel like the old wounds on my body seem to have healed a lot. This wine is truly magical.”
Bai Li Luo Chen said, “It’s alright if you didn’t break through, this business of fighting and killing is a man’s thing. You just need to watch over the house, Lady.
I didn’t expect this weak scholar to be so capable.
Master chose well this time, Dong Jun!”
Su Sheng was unaware that Bai Li Luo Chen had sent shadow warriors to protect his safety.
Su Sheng walked out of the Marquis of the West Mansion, strolling through the stalls in Tianqi City. As he walked, he was checking to see if there were any martial arts manuals for sale.
“How much for this ‘Embroidered Sword Nineteen Styles’?”
“Three copper coins!”
Su Sheng paid the money and picked up ‘Embroidered Sword Nineteen Styles’ and started reading it.
Near the settlements of the various sects, at the Tianqi City Academy, outside Shaolin Temple, and on Wudang Mountain, there were always many shops, selling various manuals.
For example, outside the Shaolin Temple, there were manuals like ‘Book of Changes’, ‘Yi Jin Jing’, while on Wudang Mountain, there were ‘Eternal Taiji Sword’ and ‘Everlasting Taiji Sword’, and so on.
These were all fakes, although there were also real ones, but they weren’t as marketable as the fake ones. For example, ‘Great Arhat Fist’, ‘Five Tiger Mountain Breaking Knife’, and the one Su Sheng was holding, ‘Embroidered Sword Nineteen Styles’.
This technique was real, but it was very basic and very weak.
Legend has it that a man named Xiao Yi practiced ‘Embroidered Sword Nineteen Styles’ for nineteen years, and used a single sword to establish a kingdom.
He was the Heavenly Martial Emperor of Bei Li Dynasty, Xiao Yi.
Su Sheng wasn’t looking to practice ‘Embroidered Sword Nineteen Styles’, he just wanted to buy it and take a look, to get a grasp of the martial arts of this world.
...
Bei Li Imperial Palace
Emperor Tai An sat on the dragon throne, with a board of unfinished chess pieces in front of him.
The Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing walked into the palace and said, “Your Majesty, we just received news, the Marquis of the West and the Marquis of the West's son, both broke through to Great Joy Realm!”
“Bang!”
The chess pieces instantly landed on the board, Emperor Tai An’s face turned dark, “Who helped them break through? And this is at a critical moment when we’re about to act against the Ye Family!”
The Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing said, “We only know that they broke through in the Marquis of the West's Mansion. There are no unusual activities from any of the forces in Tianqi City.”
“What about Li Xian Sheng of Jixia Academy?”
“He has been staying in Jixia Academy and hasn’t left, neither has he contacted anyone.”
Emperor Tai An rubbed his temples, “Keep investigating. Bai Li Luo Chen was stuck in the late stage of Fuyuan Realm for decades. Li Xian Sheng had personally asserted that he would be stuck at the late stage of Fuyuan Realm for the rest of his life, unable to break through.
But now, he actually broke through. There must be external forces behind it.
As for Bai Li Cheng Feng, he has good talent, but he’s always been at the initial stage of Fuyuan Realm. If Li Xian Sheng taught him, then he could achieve this, but if it wasn’t Li Xian Sheng…
Then either the Marquis of the West's Mansion obtained some treasure that enhances cultivation, or there is someone else in the mansion helping them.
We must find out, if someone is helping them, eliminate him!”
“Yes!”
“Wait, ask the State Teacher to probe Li Xian Sheng and see if he was the one who made the move!”
If the number one scholar in the world, Li Xian Sheng, wanted to help the Bai Li family, he could do it without anyone knowing.
The Marquis of the West, who was originally only at Fuyuan Realm, has now reached the Great Joy Realm. Bai Li Cheng Feng has even become a half-step Sword Immortal. More importantly, this father and son have deep influence in the army, even controlling the 300,000 Breaking Wind Army.
How could anyone sleep soundly on the dragon's couch? The sudden surge in the power of the Marquis of the West's Mansion made Emperor Tai An unable to even close his eyes while sleeping.
“Yes!”
......
Jixia Academy, Li Xian Sheng was lying on the roof drinking wine. He noticed the movement nearby and showed a trace of disdain, "Xiao Qi, when did you turn into a sneaky mouse?"
The State Teacher, Qi Tian Chen, was wearing a white robe. He walked out smiling, “There’s no helping it, the emperor’s anger forced me to come, I can only pretend to make a trip.”
Li Xian Sheng said, “Humph, what happened, that you had to be called out of retirement?”
“The Marquis of the West, father and son, both broke through to Great Joy Realm! At the same time!”
“What?”
Li Xian Sheng suddenly sat up from the roof, looking at Qi Tian Chen with disbelief, “The Marquis of the West, Bai Li family, from a humble background? Emperor Tai An’s sworn brother, the killing god Bai Li Luo Chen?”
Qi Tian Chen said, “Yes, the same Bai Li Luo Chen you once said would never be able to break through to Great Joy Realm!”
“This is impossible! Bai Li Lao Hou Ye has been injured countless times throughout his life, his blood energy is insufficient. It’s already good enough that he can maintain his Heavenly Joy Realm without falling, how could he possibly become a Great Joy Realm?”
Li Xian Sheng was shocked.
After all, he was Li Chang Sheng, the number one expert in the world, “Immortal stroked my head, and I was blessed with longevity.”
He had lived for 180 years, through the ebb and flow of time, hardly anything could make him emotionally fluctuate.
But today, he was so shocked that he jumped up from the roof of the academy.
One of the Eight Young Masters, Zhuo Mo Gongzi, Lei Meng Sha, said to Xiao Ruofeng, “Feng Feng, do you think Master was bitten by a dog on his butt? Why is he jumping so high?”
As soon as Lei Meng Sha finished speaking, Baixiao Tang sent a message to Xiao Ruofeng, “Our Master said, this news needs extra payment!”
Xiao Ruofeng took the envelope and opened it, his pupils constricted when he saw the contents, “No wonder, Master was so shocked!”
Lei Meng Sha leaned over, “Feng Feng, what did you know?”
