Chapter 30

【Archive time, thirty years.】

Yu Ke chose to start directly.

【This year, you are thirty years old, in the prime of your life. In order to seek the path of cultivation, you resolutely hid in the Undying Tomb on Mount Zhongnan, cutting yourself off from the disturbances of the world.】

【On this very day, Lu Yu found his place of seclusion after a long and arduous journey.】

【He brought a piece of news, his expression mysterious: "Brother, there is now a change that hasn't occurred in a thousand years."】

【A trace of doubt flashed in your eyes, but it immediately turned into a calm smile.】

【Seeing that your expression remained as steady as ever, Lu Yu felt quite frustrated, seeing that you had rarely shown any emotion for many years.】

【Lu Yu was greatly disappointed, and only then did he slowly reveal it.】

【The sky has changed!】

【Spiritual energy has descended upon the world once again.】

【Lu Yu took a yellowed ancient book from his bosom, opened it gently, and pointed to the words on it: "This is an ancient book I discovered by chance in a ruin."】

【You stared at the words on the ancient book: "The world's order is broken and the threads are slack; different surnames rise together, heroes gather like crows. Humanity has lost its virtue, and the world pursues it together; thus the spiritual tide recedes, the Age of Dharma's End."】

【Lu Yu added: "However, looking at it now, all of this seems to be changing quietly."】

Yu Ke saw this, his eyes narrowing.

Spiritual energy has descended upon the world once again.

The Age of Dharma's End—could all this be changing because of him?

He didn't know, but what changes could this bring to him!

Spiritual energy recovery!

The world Yu Ke is currently in also possesses spiritual energy; if the two are the same.

Yu Ke suddenly felt his heart heat up, staring fixedly at the light screen.

【At first, you were skeptical about this.】

【This seemed like talk of ghosts and gods; spiritual energy was nothing more than the imagination of ancestors regarding unknown things, or a means used by predecessors to fool later generations.】

【"Humanity has lost its virtue?" You sighed lightly, feeling how absurd such a statement was.】

【For the nation and the country, how many monarchs have sought ghosts and gods instead of governing, only to end up with destruction.】

【Not asking about the common people, but asking ghosts and gods—ridiculous!】

【However!】

【When Lu Yu stretched out his palm, the intent of his fist circulating within it, and spread it out again, a soft and bright light shone out like a candle flame.】

【This scene was strange and unbelievable.】

【Lu Yu looked at you with a smile; that faint light not only illuminated the tomb chamber but also seemed to touch your heart.】

【You muttered to yourself: "A change that hasn't occurred in a thousand years..."】

【Lu Yu nodded and said: "This is spiritual energy."】

【"It is formless and qualityless, yet it is everywhere, containing the essence of heaven and earth."】

【Lu Yu channeled the spiritual energy in his hand and pointed lightly; the faint light flickered and hit a stubborn stone in the room.】

【The stone didn't shatter, but a deep hole was left behind.】

【You were finally moved; this was no longer the ability of a mortal.】

【You tried to perceive the spiritual energy, only to feel empty, gaining nothing.】

【Lu Yu saw this and demonstrated for you again; you tried several times, but still gained nothing.】

【You asked Lu Yu in confusion: "You'an, how did you perceive the existence of this spiritual energy?"】

【Lu Yu, courtesy name You'an, usually addressed each other as junior brothers in plain clothes in the Daoist temple, and when no outsiders were around, they called each other by their courtesy names.】

【Lu Yu touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't explain it clearly either; it's just that I suddenly felt the world was different, and in an instant, something in my body seemed to be connected."】

【Lu Yu demonstrated a few more times, but you still gained nothing.】

【You sighed slightly; perhaps this is talent, you knew Lu Yu was a true cultivation genius.】

【You asked Lu Yu about his current martial arts realm, and Lu Yu smiled, "Just above the Grandmaster Realm."】

【You couldn't help but be shocked; your younger brother's talent in martial arts was too astonishing, the true number one person on Mount Zhongnan, even Master Liu Jinchan was no match for him.】

【Liu Jinchan compared himself with him, lost, and was depressed for several days.】

【Liu Jinchan is also in the Grandmaster Realm.】

【Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster are only a word apart, but a world of difference.】

【The Great Grandmaster is already the peak of the entire Daqing martial arts world, but Lu Yu doesn't like fame, so few people know.】

【As far as you know, the Daqing martial arts world has produced countless talents since ancient times, and there are countless famous people, but there are only four Great Grandmasters on the surface, and each one is a martial arts legend.】

【Jiang Xiaoyue, who built a hut on Pingniu Ridge, is known as the "World's Number One Palm," his palm technique crowning the world, and those who learn boxing in the world cannot escape his cage. He had a family tradition since he was young, but unfortunately, he was young and frivolous and provoked martial arts enemies, and his family was destroyed. He endured hardships, apprenticed for forty years, and his palm technique was perfected at age fifty, finally taking revenge. After that, he lived in a hut on Pingniu Ridge, focusing on cultivation and ignoring world affairs.】

【Chen Sanzhong, the nine-thousand-year-old in the capital, Ma Bao's master, is already ninety years old and the personal eunuch of the current Empress Dowager. He went against the grain, standing alone, and entered the Great Grandmaster Realm at ninety with a fierce and unparalleled path despite his incomplete body.】

【The foolish monk of Lingxi Temple was once a proud top scholar, but because the woman he loved married someone else, he became a monk at Lingxi Temple in despair.】

【There were very few rumors about him in the martial arts world until twenty-four years ago, when he went north to try to rescue Emperor Huizong but failed. After a battle with a Northern Wind Great Grandmaster, he was unscathed and defeated seven Grandmasters in a row without taking anyone's life. Only then did he become famous in the martial arts world and was defined as being in the Great Grandmaster Realm. Now he is over seventy years old, but he has not taken a single life, which shows his compassion.】

【Huang Dao, the Demon Master of the Huajian Sect, is an unparalleled genius in the demonic path. He integrated the unique skills of the Yinkui Sect and the Undying Sect in the Demon Sect, and he reached the Great Grandmaster Realm in just thirty-five years.】

【After studying the supreme treasure of the Demon Sect, the "Heavenly Demon Strategy," this demonic giant disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.】

【You couldn't help but ask, "What realm is above Grandmaster?"】

【Lu Yu said: "What is recorded in the ancient books is the Gate of Primordial, the Primordial Realm."】

【The Primordial Realm is high and unreachable!】

【You are thirty years old now, having just joined the ranks of second-rate experts; the "Primordial Realm" is still like the moon in the sky, far out of reach for you.】

【Thus, you had a deep talk with Lu Yu about the path of cultivation, and he taught you everything without reservation.】

【After this guidance, you finally realized:】

【If you have no talent for cultivation, as long as you cultivate down-to-earth and reach the Great Grandmaster Realm, perhaps you can also feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.】

【You know well that diligence can make up for clumsiness; even a cup of water can gather into a river and sea.】

【You restored your heart to a state of stillness, cultivating every day without stopping, not daring to be the slightest bit slack, focusing your mind.】

【On the morning of the fourth day, Master Liu Jinchan and Lu Yu arrived together, bringing a piece of news—the Eighth Prince of Daqing wants to see you.】

【You only want to cultivate and perceive the Primordial, so you declined the meeting.】

【Liu Jinchan saw this and advised softly: "Shenzhou, do you know that Prince Jing's power is now at its peak? The Crown Prince has lost power, the Eastern Palace has been abolished, and he is one of the few people closest to the imperial throne. How many heroes in the world dream of this, yet have no way to serve? We are just meeting once?"】

【However, Liu Jinchan still had unspoken intentions in his heart; if he could build a relationship with this prince, then the Sanzhenyi Sect might be able to go a step further.】

【At this time, Lu Yu stood to the side, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother, you will definitely meet him?"】

【Liu Jinchan was slightly startled, a trace of curiosity rising in his heart.】

【Back then, the Second Prince, whose power was no less than the Eighth Prince, was also rejected by Lu Chen.】

【Lu Yu said: "The visitor this time is not just the Eighth Prince, but our uncle is also accompanying him. In the past, he protected Mother moving south, and to ensure Mother's safety, he joined the Eighth Prince's command, and this time he has come carrying Mother's personal letter."】

【In the past, when Mother moved the whole family south, the Lu family was not yet prominent. When they first entered the capital, life was very difficult, and it was thanks to Uncle's care.】

【However, times have changed, and no one in the capital dares to slight the Lu family now.】

【Father does not move out of the capital, also for the sake of you brothers and the Lu Family Army, free world, not subject to suspicion.】

【Hearing this, you couldn't help but sigh in your heart. Uncle has deep feelings for your family, and this heavy friendship cannot be let down.】

【It seems that this meeting with the Eighth Prince is something you truly cannot avoid.】
