Chapter 3215: Never dreamed of

Song Ruyu's talent of entering the Transformation Realm at sixteen truly shocked Ye Chen. Not to mention anything else, if he told the Wanlong Palace about this situation, I am afraid everyone in the Wanlong Palace would be ashamed.

Wan Pojun was already a martial arts genius, but he only entered the Dark Realm in his twenties with his help.

If he broke through with all his strength by himself, it would be an extraordinary performance to enter the Transformation Realm at forty.

But Song Ruyu not only entered the Dark Realm at sixteen, but even successfully realized the Dao in her early twenties!

This kind of talent and strength was the first time Ye Chen had heard of it.

Surprised, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her, "You entered the Transformation Realm at sixteen. Was it guided by an expert, or did you encounter any opportunity?"

Song Ruyu thought for a while and shook her head, "Neither. It's just a martial arts mental method, the same as the mental method practiced by these dead soldiers and Brave Cavalry Guards of the Anti-Qing Society."

Ye Chen asked again, "The Anti-Qing Society didn't give you any help?"

"No." Song Ruyu said, "I just practiced with concentration according to the mental method by myself. Although there was no one to guide me, I didn't encounter any difficulties. The breakthroughs along the way were very smooth. In two or three years, I was already at the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm. In three or four years, I had already stepped into the Dark Realm. After another three or four years, I broke through to the Transformation Realm. They all say that the breakthrough of every realm in martial arts is as difficult as reaching the sky, and it is even difficult to find the opportunity for breakthrough. But for me, everything seemed to break through naturally."

Ye Chen sighed, "Sometimes people are really not the same species. Your attainments in martial arts are truly the only ones I have ever seen in my life."

Song Ruyu mocked herself, "Although my attainments in martial arts are very strong, martial arts are after all more than one dimension lower than cultivation. It's like no matter how powerful a martial arts expert is, they can't beat guns and missiles. In front of you, Mr. Ye, I have no ability to parry at all."

Ye Chen asked her, "Then how did you open your mind and realize the Dao? Explain the cause and effect to me more clearly."

Song Ruyu said, "I never thought I would have the opportunity to open my mind and realize the Dao. I just knew that in the Anti-Qing Society, the status of martial arts experts is very high, and the status of cultivators is even higher. For descendants of collateral families like me, whether male or female, the most promising way out is actually to become a cultivator and work for the Anti-Qing Society. Only in this way can we truly rewrite the fate of the family."

As she spoke, Song Ruyu continued, "The Wu family members want to become cultivators, which is not difficult. In order to take care of the Lord's own family and improve the survival strength of their own family, the Lord will conduct a screening of the children of the new generation of the Wu family every few years. She will choose one or two with the best talent to help them open their minds and realize the Dao;"

"Realizing the Dao is as difficult as reaching the sky. If there is no external interference, if the Wu family can produce one who realizes the Dao by themselves in hundreds of years, they will have to burn high incense. Therefore, in order to make their own family's strength proportion higher, the Lord will use her own cultivation and elixir to help the Wu family descendants open their minds and realize the Dao;"

"It's just that the cost of forcibly helping people open their minds and realize the Dao is also very high. Even the Lord cannot do the rapid batch cultivation of cultivators. Basically, it is the speed of cultivating one or two entry-level cultivators every two or three years, and this is already the limit."

"Moreover, the vast majority of cultivators who have opened their minds and realized the Dao through external interference have limited talent after opening their minds and realizing the Dao, and it is very difficult to go far. If they want to become experts like the four great Earls, the requirements for talent are also very high."

Speaking of this, Song Ruyu continued, "In the eyes of the Lord, the Song family is just a tool for the Wu family to continue their lineage. She has always looked down on them. The reason why I was able to realize the Dao is because when I was sixteen, a Wu family expert came to the Song family to inspect the girls of suitable age in the Song family and found that I had already stepped into the Dark Realm. He immediately reported this matter to the Great Governor;"

"The Great Governor seemed to have never heard of anyone who could enter the Dark Realm at sixteen. In surprise, he immediately reported this matter to the Lord;"

"And the reason why he reported it to Wu Feiyan is because the Lord has been actively looking for talents suitable for realizing the Dao, or geniuses who have already realized the Dao, for so many years. After finding them, she will take them under the command of the Anti-Qing Society."

"After the Great Governor reported my situation to the Lord, the Lord let the Great Governor give me a mental method, let me understand it by myself, and also said that if I could successfully realize the Dao, she would take me as a personal disciple."

Ye Chen asked him, "You... you relied on a mental method to realize the Dao?!"

Just now, Song Ruyu said that she relied on a mental method to gradually break through to the Transformation Realm. If she realized the Dao because of a mental method, then this talent was a bit too strong.

Song Ruyu opened her mouth and said, "Self-realization of the Dao is the Lord's test for martial arts geniuses. She no longer has the energy to use her own strength to help martial arts geniuses realize the Dao. Therefore, whether a martial arts genius can catch her eye, the final test is whether they can realize the Dao by themselves according to the mental method;"

As she spoke, Song Ruyu added, "After I got that mental method, I immediately realized that this was the only opportunity for me to get rid of the fate of marrying into the Wu family and at the same time change the fate of the Song family. So I treated that mental method as a treasure and studied it day and night for six years. Finally, two years ago, when I was twenty-two, I successfully realized the Dao!"

Ye Chen felt a dizziness in his brain and couldn't help but say, "Six years to realize the Dao, this speed is also unheard of!"

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ruyu and asked, "In that case, are you now a personal disciple of Wu Feiyan?"

"Not yet." Song Ruyu said truthfully, "After I realized the Dao at that time, the Great Governor reported the news to the Lord. The Lord probably didn't expect that a girl who could realize the Dao by herself at a young age could come out of a collateral family that had always been ignored. So she immediately instructed the Great Governor to bring me to the Right Military Governor's Office to truly work for the Anti-Qing Society. And she also wanted to wait until she patrolled the Right Military Governor's Office early next year to see me in person, and then take me as a personal disciple on the spot."

After speaking, Song Ruyu added, "The Lord's order, the Great Governor naturally did not dare to neglect. He immediately brought me to the Right Military Governor's Office and granted me the position of Inspector. The Lord also had people send that thin sword and a small Peiyuan Pill to the Right Military Governor's Office, and then handed it to me by the Great Governor himself."

Ye Chen nodded, raised the thin sword in his hand, and asked her, "Is this sword given to you by Wu Feiyan?"

"Yes!" Song Ruyu nodded, "This thin sword has a formation for mental control, which greatly improved my actual combat ability, and that small Peiyuan Pill just happened to provide me with extremely precious Qi."

Speaking of this, Song Ruyu said with a dim expression, "It's just that I never dreamed that the small Peiyuan Pill sent by the Lord, although containing Qi, also contained stronger strange poison. That kind of strange poison is quite domineering. It is said that even cultivators cannot solve it, and the antidote must be taken within three years, otherwise, one will definitely die!"
