Chapter 246: The Three Extraordinary Women of the Zhou Kingdom (Part 2)

The crowd exploded like ignited gunpowder.

At this moment, the excessive joy and excitement made everyone unable to even be shocked by how Elder Jiang and Liu Fengzhu Liu had managed to do it.

Cheers, screams, and stomping feet blended together, nearly overturning the entire Eastern Peak.

Liu Qingyu stood beside Jiang Ye, looking at the group of disciples who were jumping and shouting with excitement, a layer of bright brilliance rising in her star-like eyes, and an astonishing smile appearing on her face.

At this moment, the haze that had been pressing down on the heads of everyone in the Tianqing Sect was finally torn open, revealing the long-lost sunlight.

Lu Guizhou looked at the group of young disciples who were shouting and jumping, having forgotten themselves in their excitement, but he didn't find it noisy.

He had lived for so many years and had seen too many sects exit Tianyun Peak in gloom, and too many disciples lose heart in despair; this vibrant scene before him actually made him feel quite gratified.

He stroked his silver-white long beard and sighed with a smile: "Very good, Little Jiang, your Tianqing Sect is very energetic."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly and bowed: "Elder Lu, if you are not in a hurry to return, would you do me the honor of sitting down for a cup of clear tea? The junior happens to have some questions about Primordial Qi that I would like to ask for your guidance."

The Primordial Qi was already in hand; with his talent, it wouldn't take long for his Divine Qi to reach perfection, at which point he would have to prepare to strike at the Primordial Realm.

Lu Guizhou was an experienced person in this regard; getting a few pointers from him was better than fumbling in the dark by himself.

One had to know that the Tianqing Sect didn't have many records regarding the Primordial Realm.

Sect Master Pei Yunchuan and Luo Song had both attempted to break through to the Primordial Realm, and both had failed.

All they had were experiences of failure.

Lu Guizhou glanced at Cheng Yuan, who was still unconscious in his hand.

This old fellow still had his eyes closed and remained unconscious, though his charred chest was still heaving slightly; the vitality of a Primordial Realm martial artist was there, and this injury wouldn't take his life.

It wouldn't matter if he brought him back to the Law Enforcement Hall later.

He chuckled and said: "You put it that way, and it just so happens that I am a bit thirsty."

He genuinely appreciated Jiang Ye now, so naturally, he was willing to give him this face and clear up the mysteries of the Primordial Realm.

"Liu Fengzhu Liu, you come along too."

Jiang Ye looked at Liu Qingyu again.

Since it concerned the Primordial Realm, Liu Qingyu naturally agreed with joy.

Jiang Ye brought the two of them into the courtyard to sit down.

As for Cheng Yuan, he was casually tossed at the entrance of the courtyard by Lu Guizhou.

Jiang Ye unhurriedly brewed a pot of clear tea.

Amidst the curling tea fragrance, Liu Qingyu was the first to ask the question she cared about most: "Senior Lu, I wonder if there is a safe method to enter this Primordial Realm."

"A safe method?"

Lu Guizhou's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, and he looked at Liu Qingyu meaningfully: "There is no such thing as a safe method for a Divine Qi Realm martial artist to enter the Primordial Realm."

Liu Qingyu was slightly startled, "Senior Lu, how do you say that..."

Lu Guizhou sipped his tea unhurriedly to moisten his throat before speaking:

"From my perspective, your Water-element True Qi has reached perfection, and your foundation is much deeper than that of ordinary martial artists at the same realm."

"If you only absorb one wisp of Primordial Qi to strike at the bottleneck, the success rate should not be low."

"At most two or three times, and you will be able to enter the Primordial Realm."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu felt a secret sigh of relief in her heart.

Her own judgment was the same.

Having accumulated for so many years in the Divine Qi Realm, her Water-element True Qi had long been polished to be round and transparent; as long as she had Primordial Qi in hand, entering the Primordial Realm wouldn't be a big problem.

However, Lu Guizhou changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming a few degrees more solemn:

"However, I must remind you that the Primordial Realm values foundation above all else. How many wisps of Primordial Qi you absorb when breaking through basically determines your future upper limit."

"The pills within the bodies of those in the Embracing the Pill Realm and Divine Qi Realm all belong to Qi Pills!"

"And the Primordial Realm requires condensing the Qi Pill into a True Pill; the deeper the foundation, the further the path you can walk."

"For example, myself..."

He pointed at himself and smiled faintly:

"I entered the Primordial Realm with two wisps of Primordial Qi back then, and my foundation was much stronger than that kind of trash outside the door."

As he spoke, he glanced at the charred body lying unconscious at the courtyard entrance, his tone filled with undisguised disdain.

Liu Qingyu's expression changed slightly, and she blurted out: "Senior Lu, if one absorbs two wisps of Primordial Qi, wouldn't the difficulty of breaking through double?"

She immediately thought of Luo Song.

That Liu Fengzhu of Tianyang Peak had been suffering from heavy injuries for many years precisely because he had forcibly absorbed two wisps of Primordial Qi.

Lu Guizhou nodded slightly, his tone becoming a bit more serious:

"That is natural. That is why I said there is no such thing as a safe method for a Divine Qi Realm martial artist to enter the Primordial Realm; it all depends on how you choose."

"Different choices correspond to different risks, and also correspond to different upper limits."

"Even for me, absorbing two wisps of Primordial Qi back then was fraught with difficulties, and in the end, it could be considered a lucky breakthrough."

He set down his tea cup and swept his gaze across Liu Qingyu and Jiang Ye one by one: "Therefore, before you enter the Primordial Realm, you had best think clearly about what it is you truly want."

Liu Qingyu fell silent.

She looked down at the fine ripples spreading in the clear tea in her cup, and a rare look of struggle appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face.

Just then, Jiang Ye, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke: "Senior Lu, is absorbing two wisps of Primordial Qi to break through already the limit?"

Lu Guizhou's hand holding the tea cup paused, then he threw his head back and took a sip of tea; when he set the cup down, a meaningful smile was already hanging on his lips:

"Of course not."

"There are those with peerless talent who can enter the Primordial Realm with three wisps of Primordial Qi."

"For example, those little monsters in the top three of our Upper Sect's True Transmission Ranking are all evildoers who broke through by absorbing three wisps of Primordial Qi."

Hearing this, a flash of undisguised shock crossed Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes.

Back then, Luo Song had absorbed two wisps of Primordial Qi and nearly lost his life.

Then how perilous must it be to break through by absorbing three wisps of Primordial Qi?

Lu Guizhou looked at the expressions on their faces and added slowly, his tone carrying a bit of heartfelt admiration:

"Of course, if we are talking about the greatest evildoer, it has to be our Sect Master."

"She entered the Primordial Realm by absorbing four wisps of Primordial Qi back then."

"The depth of her foundation is simply unfathomable."

"I have lived to this age and have seen many brilliant talents, but there is not a single one who can be mentioned in the same breath as the Sect Master."

Hearing this, let alone Liu Qingyu, even Jiang Ye couldn't help but have a flash of shock cross his eyes:

"Breaking through by absorbing four wisps of Primordial Qi..."

Lu Guizhou saw his expression and laughed heartily, his laughter full of pride:

"Our Sect Master is one of the three extraordinary women of the Zhou Kingdom; she is an existence destined to create legends—how can she be measured by the eyes of ordinary people?"

"Three extraordinary women?!"

Jiang Ye was startled again and hurriedly asked, "Does that mean there are two other women in the Zhou Kingdom like the Sect Master?"

Lu Guizhou nodded slightly, stroking his silver beard, his tone becoming a bit more serious:

"You may have heard of the other two."

"One is the descendant of a thousand-year family, Shangguan Linghua."

"And the other one..."

He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and his voice lowered a bit:

"Is our Zhou Kingdom's Ninth Princess." ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
