Chapter 240: Whether you can break through to the Sage Realm depends on your ability

~16 min read 3,152 words

But just at this moment, Chu Ruoyan walked over, rolled her eyes at Li Sining, and said to Jiang Mo: "New sister, right? Don't listen to her nonsense; she loves to talk about these conspiracy theories, just to scare you."

Chu Ruoyan was originally cultivating in the Yan Tian Martial Field, seeing Li Sining bring a strange face here.

Seeing this woman so beautiful, and still able to move in the harem, she was mostly Li Chen's woman, so she came up to say hello.

Jiang Mo saw Chu Ruoyan and was sweating; Chu Ruoyan's temperament as the main palace was too powerful; she heard Chu Ruoyan was Li Chen's first consort, so she behaved even more respectfully.

This made Chu Ruoyan even more of a headache; originally it was Jiang Mo don't be afraid, now Jiang Mo was even more afraid than when she came.

Perhaps the women of the Jiang family would trigger the passive skill of being timid and fearful in the harem; her sister and aunt were also like this.

Chu Ruoyan glared at Li Sining, and Li Sining secretly stuck out her tongue; she just wanted her cousin to rely on her more.

However, this was just a small interlude; as Jiang Mo gradually became familiar, she could also understand the relationship here.

And at this moment, Jiang Mo's master Ning Tao, under the leadership of Wu Nanzhi, came to the palace of the Peerless Sword Venerable Mu Qingrou; this place could be said to be the area of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion, where several women of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion lived.

Being able to contact her idol at close range for the first time, Ning Tao was very excited; her words were trembling, and her eyes were incomparably reverent.

Mu Qingrou thought Ning Tao was a new woman entering the palace, and was also very polite.

Mu Qingrou's status in the harem was very high, and many consorts came to ask her for sword intent.

Actually, just seeing Wu Nanzhi bring Ning Tao over, Mu Qingrou knew what the situation was.

They were all Li Chen's women, and she taught whatever she could teach.

Ning Tao was simply flattered; she didn't expect the Palace Master of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion to be so easy to talk to; she felt she was sacred and unreachable when she saw Mu Qingrou before.

In the exchange between the two, Ning Tao also benefited a lot in sword intent, and also received Mu Qingrou's personal guidance, making her incomparably excited internally.

Ning Tao took this opportunity to ask how to strengthen meridian cultivation.

Even if there was only one in ten thousand possibilities, Ning Tao also planned to rush to the Sage Realm in the future.

Hearing this, Mu Qingrou took out a secret manual and said: "This is a secret manual I created recently; you cultivate according to the above, and with your talent, you should be able to reach the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm. As for whether you can break through to the Sage Realm, it depends on your ability."

Ning Tao looked at her idol, her hands trembling as she took the secret manual; this was a secret manual created by the Peerless Sword Venerable recently; how rare must it be? Ning Tao almost cried out.

It seemed there were other consorts coming to find Mu Qingrou, so Ning Tao didn't continue to disturb and took her leave.

Walking out of Mu Qingrou's palace, Ning Tao expressed her gratitude to Wu Nanzhi beside her again and again.

She had just thought Wu Nanzhi was somewhat malicious, tricking her into the tiger's den; now it seemed Wu Nanzhi's character was truly good.

Wu Nanzhi indicated, what a big deal, let her stay in the palace for a few more days, and she could go to her two disciples to stay.

Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling were official consorts, so they certainly had their own palaces.

It would be fine if she didn't mention it, but once she did, Ning Tao got angry.

She also didn't expect that her two disciples would actively serve Li Chen, simply disgracing the sect.

How did I teach you usually? Girls should be self-respecting, and the imperial family is too aggressive and overbearing, so don't contact them.

You not only didn't listen, but also had negative distance contact.

If it weren't for Li Chen always being nearby, Ning Tao would probably have reprimanded Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling.

Now that Li Chen wasn't there, Ning Tao caught the opportunity and came to the place where Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling lived.

Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling had also just finished their work, letting the head palace maid tidy up the palace, and saw their master walking over angrily.

As Ning Tao's disciples, they naturally knew Ning Tao's habits; Ning Tao was a very self-reliant woman, always aiming to become a woman like Mu Qingrou, and hated the imperial family very much; now that they did this, their master would certainly be angry.

On that day at the Jiang family, they also took advantage of the gap when Jiang Mo wasn't there and ran into Li Chen's room; when they went in, their collars and trouser legs were opened to the maximum.

Li Chen was still unsatisfied at the time, waiting for Jiang Mo to finish her work to continue; who could have thought that two would be delivered to his door, so he naturally accepted them with a smile.

In the world Li Chen originally came from, not accepting this would be a fine of 50.

Ning Tao smiled and sent Wu Nanzhi away, then changed her face as soon as she said it.

Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling stood in the palace trembling, waiting for their master's reprimand.

Seeing Ning Tao walk over, that tall figure full of majesty, Xu Qianqian reacted relatively quickly, immediately serving tea and water for her master, and Zhong Ling began to massage and knead her master's shoulders.

They began to change the topic, asking Ning Tao if she had any insights in the discussion with Peerless Sword Venerable Mu Qingrou senior, and if she could teach some skills to her disciples.

Once mentioning cultivation, mentioning Mu Qingrou, Ning Tao suddenly forgot the purpose of her coming here, and the words of reprimand full of her stomach were instantly buried, replaced by this conversation with Mu Qingrou.

She said a lot, all told by Mu Qingrou, and finally took out a secret manual personally gifted by Mu Qingrou.

On it was written "Heavenly Dao Dual Cultivation Manual".

Seeing this name, Ning Tao had some bad premonitions.

After opening it, she was directly stunned on the spot.

Because what was written on it was the method and benefits of dual cultivation with Li Chen.

Emperor Li Chen awakened the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the power of the Heavenly Dao could break the shackles and open the supreme realm.

This was the experience summarized by Mu Qingrou after dual cultivating with Li Chen many, many times.

Being able to dual cultivate with Li Chen, one could touch a bit of the Heavenly Dao aura, not only strengthening the meridians but also continuously improving the cultivation realm.

So this cultivation manual was a manual that the consorts around Li Chen could cultivate.

The reason Mu Qingrou gave it to Ning Tao was because she felt Ning Tao was Li Chen's woman, and Ning Tao cultivated so hard, and was still her little fan, so she didn't hide it.

It mentioned various postures, making Ning Tao, who hadn't experienced human affairs, blush.

This was given by Mu Qingrou senior, and she didn't want to live up to her good intentions, but Ning Tao wasn't Li Chen's woman, so this simply couldn't be done.

The sharp-eyed Xu Qianqian immediately said: "Master, Mu senior has high hopes for you; if you cultivate to the Sage Realm, Mu senior will certainly be very happy."

Saying this, she also gave a look to Zhong Ling beside her.

Zhong Ling immediately understood and said: "That's right, master, if you also live in the palace, you can contact Mu senior every day; I heard from other consorts that she is very good to the Emperor's consorts."

"There are still many mystical realms in the Imperial Capital to explore; without master's care, we certainly can't pass."

"I heard there are many factions in the harem; master, do you have the heart to abandon your disciples like this."

These two beautiful disciples were also constantly blowing wind in her ears; they were clear about their master's soft ribs.

If they could trick their master into the harem, then they certainly wouldn't be scolded by their master.

This was what Youlan Xianzi mentioned, the reason why sect women liked to drag acquaintances into the water.

After listening to them for a while, Ning Tao's heart also slowly changed.

"But for the sake of cultivation, do I have to do this kind of thing?" Ning Tao was still somewhat resistant.

But being able to say this made Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling's eyes light up.

Because saying this sentence meant that Ning Tao was already considering dual cultivation with Li Chen.

If she didn't have this idea, she certainly wouldn't say it, and might directly leave.

"Master, you also said before that to succeed, you must pay the price." "His Majesty is a Sage Realm expert, young and handsome, and your family has been making things difficult for you; if you become an Imperial Consort, they certainly won't dare to say anything."

The disciples were constantly brainwashing Ning Tao.

As they talked, Ning Tao felt that it didn't seem like a loss to be Li Chen's Imperial Consort, so she was silent.

She was a person with thin skin, and her disciples naturally knew, so they struck while the iron was hot, going to find Li Chen to come and take their master, letting their master not even have a chance to regret.

Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling never dreamed that they were inviting a 'wolf' into the room.

Ning Tao's first night of contact with Li Chen, her heart was still thinking about cultivation.

But next, Ning Tao's demand became larger and larger, her expression began to be indulgent, and Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling both felt that their master was using cultivation as an excuse, purely for pleasure?

A conservative woman like Ning Tao, once she identified her man, would be devoted, and Wu Nanzhi came to tease her after knowing, making her very shy.

And the three of them, master and disciples, lived in one palace, and Jiang Mo also often came over, letting Li Chen feel what it was like to be from the same sect.

That feeling was certainly a school.

Due to the Northern Royal Court and the Sassan Dynasty already being pacified, the Prince of Zhennan and the Third Prince didn't continue to fight, and recently there were more reversals, and there were no big troubles.

!

After Li Chen rested peacefully for two days, the 'Di Yun Orbital' opening ceremony, which the whole Tian Ce Dynasty paid attention to.

If the orbital train succeeded, then the development speed of the Tian Ce Dynasty in all aspects would be improved across eras.

The eastern suburbs of the Imperial Capital were crowded with people, and the black mass of commoners squeezed the ten-mile long pavilion until it was impassable.

The hawker selling candied haws stepped on others' shoulders to shout, the lame old man inserted his crutch into the mud to act as a ladder, and the three-year-old baby rode on his father's neck gnawing on a sesame cake, pointing his oily little finger at the distant railway and shouting: "Dad! Look! Big iron snake!"

The orbital train's opening ceremony made the entire Imperial Capital boil for it.

Early in the morning, it was gongs and drums, firecrackers ringing, and it was lively and extraordinary.

Li Chen led a group of ministers to hold a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, including Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan, Grand General Guo Guo Po Yun, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Works, etc.

Besides this, there were people from the Nine Abyss Holy Domain cultivation alliance who participated in the construction, such as the Palace Master of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion Mu Qingrou, True Person Wanfeng of the Lingyan Dao Sect, etc.

Sage Realm powerhouses like True Person Chi Yuan, Superior Qingxu, and Heavenly Venerable Biluo who came to watch from other places.

Even envoys from other countries and merchants from other countries were desperately squeezing inside, wanting to see if this orbital train was as magical as the legend.

After the ceremony, Li Chen walked onto the train, and more than thirty officials followed behind.

Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan kept introducing the configuration here to Li Chen when entering the train; he was a participant in the construction.

Many designs were his painstaking efforts, and he also received Li Chen's praise.

Grand General Guo Guo Po Yun touched the genuine leather seat and smacked his lips: "Good heavens, this is much softer than a warhorse."

The carriage was suddenly filled with dragon saliva incense, the little eunuch held a gold tray and sent iced sour plum soup one by one, and there were fruits and food, and all eight glazed windows were rattled down.

"Depart!" With the red-clothed train conductor shaking the copper bell, the whole train trembled violently.

A general who hadn't sat down yet was almost thrown away, but fortunately, someone beside him pulled him, and he sat down in a sorry state, then looked out the window.

Only to see the willow trees outside the window falling backward, and in the blink of an eye, the Imperial Capital's city gate was gone.

The Minister of War tightly gripped the curtain tassel, his beard blown by the wind until his face was covered: "This, this, this is much faster than an eight-hundred-mile urgent report!"

The iron train rumbled over the bluestone bridge, scaring the ducks in the river until they flapped their wings and flew around.

Every viewing platform of the city passed by was crowded with people.

"Arrived at the Huai River!" The Minister of Works pointed out the window and shouted.

The dangerous shoals that the merchant fleet usually had to bypass for three days, this time the iron train "clattered" and rushed past.

The nearby generals were somewhat surprised; it had only been an hour, and they had already arrived at the Huai River?

If a war broke out in the south, using this thing to transport troops, the army could arrive in minutes; it was simply god-speed!

The train had 20 carriages and could accommodate nearly 5,000 people.

This was just an ordinary train; if it were a troop transport train, it could probably run according to ten thousand.

Li Chen was certainly sitting in the first-class carriage, and those sitting nearby were all court officials and some sect powerhouses who participated in the construction.

As the number one Li Chen fan of the Tian Ce Dynasty, True Person Wanfeng was showing off here again that he participated in the construction and Li Chen's grand blueprint.

Even his old rival True Person Chi Yuan was busy sighing at the speed of the train this time and didn't spoil his fun.

In other carriages, there were imperial family members, powerful people, merchants, foreign envoys, etc., and even quite a few lucky commoners could participate in this first operation together.

They looked at the scenery outside the window, and people were all stupid; this was too fast.

And the train ran tirelessly, fearing that even on a rainy day, there would be no problem; it was simply very convenient.

Those merchant families and major families who invested in the orbital train all felt that this investment was absolutely stable and not losing money.

Because they still needed to transport goods, with the existence of such an orbital train, it greatly saved manpower and material resources, especially some ingredients that needed to be kept fresh, which could reach the Imperial Capital quickly from various places.

When the sun was poisonous at noon, the bell tower of Yunhai City had already appeared on the horizon.

Everyone in the train looked at the familiar place, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

It had only been five hours, and they could arrive at Yunhai City from the Imperial Capital; they hadn't even dared to think about it before.

Even some people on the train felt they were dreaming, with an unbelievable face.

In the actual situation, stopping at the station would delay some time; this time it was a direct pass, so it was a bit faster.

Even so, it was already very shocking.

Following Li Chen getting off the train, a black mass of people knelt on the platform of Yunhai City.

Li Chen also led everyone to have a meal in Yunhai City, and everyone returned to the Imperial Capital in the evening.

Grand General Guo Guo Po Yun truly felt like a dream, truly going back and forth between the Imperial Capital and Yunhai City in one day.

Next was the opening of the whole line, and there was more than one track.

Citizens bought tickets to get on the train one after another, experiencing this stimulating journey.

No matter in which world, those second-generation powerful people and second-generation rich people liked to experience such fresh things; at the current stage, it was truly hard to get a ticket.

Originally it was a transport train, but it was turned into a sightseeing train by them, experiencing stimulation.

For this success, Li Chen would certainly reward merits in the morning court the next day.

But that night, merchant families in major cities of the Tian Ce Dynasty successively invested and requested the imperial court to also build orbital trains in the cities where they were located.

Having already seen the benefits, how could they let it go.

The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue were simply busy to death; the busiest was Lin Mo, who had just been promoted and hadn't had time to celebrate, and started to engage in survey work again, planning the orbital route.

Many colleagues felt that if Lin Mo completed the construction of the Tian Ce Dynasty's orbits, perhaps the position of Minister of Works would be his.

One person liver construction copy, this achievement was not something ordinary people could reach!

Li Chen felt that it was best to quickly establish the western orbital train, because the Tian Ce Dynasty's Admiral of the Navy had already submitted a memorial many times, and the navy and the sea clan had already had several small-scale conflicts.
