Chapter 2054

Thirteen yuan of time passed in a flash.

He Pingsheng's cultivation finally broke through from the third layer of the Divine Spirit Realm to the fourth layer.

At this time, the cultivation of those two Nine Yin Divine Butterflies had also reached the Divine Sovereign Realm!

He Pingsheng did not come out of the training ground, but continued to cultivate in seclusion.

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

……

The mountain range where the He family resides is called 【Fuyu Mountain】.

Fuyu Mountain is over ten thousand li in length, and there are many divine veins forming on it!

However, even in the entire Xuanji City, Fuyu Mountain is not considered a famous great mountain, but merely an ordinary mountain range.

And the He family only occupies a part of the mountain, not the whole.

There are still many other divine realm families on Fuyu Mountain.

With the passage of time, the He family gradually established a firm foothold on Fuyu Mountain.

The number of family members kept increasing, and the family's territory naturally expanded as well. Gradually, the entire Fuyu Mountain, including a large area of land around the mountain range, was purchased by the He family and became their territory.

The He family's forbidden grounds, divine medicine gardens, etc., were constantly being relocated and reset.

Many industries also underwent multiple relocations.

Only the great hall where He Pingsheng cultivated in seclusion remained forever the core of the He family.

The great hall was solemn and dignified!

On both sides of the front square, a row of pine trees was planted.

Each row had nine trees, making eighteen in total, each towering and lush.

On the crooked neck of one pine tree hung two red ropes, with a swing tied to them.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu, wearing a moon-white long dress, sat on the swing, swaying slowly back and forth with a small amplitude.

There was a tea table under the tree.

Wen Wannan, dressed all in black, sat behind the tea table, sipping tea slowly.

"Bingyao this girl, just recently broke through to the God Venerable Realm!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu, sitting on the swing, spoke: "In a couple of days, Su Zhenzhen will hold a breakthrough celebration for her. As her mother-in-law, what gift do you plan to give her?"

Wen Wannan raised her head, thought for a moment, then said: "If we're talking about mother-in-law, you, the proper wife, are the mother-in-law. I'll step aside!"

"Just giving something random to get by—no, you need to prepare properly!"

"Hehehe..."

After saying that, Wen Wannan also smiled!

Her voice was clear and crisp!

Seeing Qiao Huizhu said: "That's why I'm worried…… Everyone else has already reached the God Venerable Realm, but I'm only at the Divine Spirit Realm!"

"And I don't have anything good on me either!"

"It's been so long, my husband has been in seclusion without coming out, and I don't know how he's doing!"

"Has his cultivation broken through to the God Lord Realm yet?"

When this issue was mentioned, Wen Wannan couldn't help but slightly furrow her beautiful brows, looking toward the left side of the great hall: "Yes…… My husband's seclusion this time has really been too long!"

"Sigh…… Old Cao…… What does Old Cao mean on his side?"

"Old Cao can't make the decision either. The Peng family has gone a bit too far this time!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu shook her head, tapped her toes lightly, and her body swaying on the swing came to a stop. She looked at Wen Wannan and whispered: "According to his usual character, he'll probably compromise, but if this continues, the entire He family will end up belonging to someone else!"

"Damn……" Wen Wannan cursed: "It's a pity our current cultivation is too low, we don't have much ability. Otherwise, fighting the Peng family head-on would be satisfying, better than feeling suffocated like this!"

While they were talking, the great hall over there suddenly moved.

With a creak, the door was opened.

A man wearing a dark green Daoist robe slowly walked out from the great hall.

"Husband!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu exclaimed with delight: "You've come out of seclusion?"

He Pingsheng looked at the square in front of the great hall, a bit dazed.

Then he looked at Seeing Qiao Huizhu and Wen Wannan, a smile appeared on his face, he took a step forward and stood beside them, and incidentally picked up Wen Wannan's teacup, gulping it down with a glug-glug-glug sound: "Not bad!"

Wen Wannan glanced at him and said: "This is my cup…… I'll get a new one!"

He Pingsheng laughed heartily: "What's wrong, you still despise me?"

Wen Wannan said: "That won't happen. I'm just afraid of soiling my elder brother……"

Seeing Qiao Huizhu also came over and sat down.

He Pingsheng asked: "I remember it wasn't like this outside. When did you plant two rows of pine trees for me?"

He raised his head and looked again.

The two rows of pine trees were tall and towering, ancient and vigorous.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu said: "You've forgotten how long you've been in seclusion!"

"Yes!" Wen Wannan followed up: "Do you still remember, elder brother?"

"Hmm……" He Pingsheng pondered slightly, then said: "It's…… four hundred thirty or so yuan!"

Seeing Qiao Huizhu corrected: "It's four hundred thirty-six yuan!"

Wen Wannan said: "Four hundred thirty-six yuan, plus another thirty-six thousand four hundred forty or so years!"

She divided the tea, giving each person a cup.

While dividing, she said: "At first, Lady Su thought you weren't gathering qi here, so she had people set up a fourth-rank Spirit Gathering Array!"

"But later she found this Spirit Gathering Array had no effect on you either, so she had people tear it down!"

"Later on, Elder Sister Dàlún Míngwáng thought your gate looked too bare and ugly, so she had people plant two rows of cypress trees here!"

He Pingsheng listened with great interest and asked, "Then what?"

Wēn Bùwǎn said, "Then the cypress trees grew, but they were all crooked and uneven!"

"Being crooked and twisted is indeed ugly!"

"So they were replaced with pine trees, which are much better. Do you think these pine trees look nice?"

Wēn Bùwǎn looked at He Pingsheng with bright, sparkling eyes.

He Pingsheng dared not answer lightly, but instead asked cautiously, "These pine trees—who decided to replace them?"

Seeing Qiao Huizhu said, "It was me!"

"Oh dear..." He Pingsheng quickly slapped his thigh and said, "I just said this lush, verdant feeling—it reminded me of the Xiùzhú Peak in the Grand Void Gate. Turns out it's your masterpiece, Senior Sister Qiao!"

"So beautiful!"

"Beyond beautiful!"

"Tch..." Wēn Bùwǎn pouted.

The three of them drank tea for a while.

Then Seeing Qiao Huizhu asked, "Husband, what is your cultivation level now?"

He Pingsheng did not answer, but first glanced at the two of them.

Now, Seeing Qiao Huizhu is at the eighth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm!

Wēn Bùwǎn is also!

Both of them are at the eighth layer.

Only then did He Pingsheng chuckle and say, "Ten layers..."

"The breakthrough to the Divine Lord Realm is not far off!"

"Ah..." Upon hearing He Pingsheng's words, Wēn Bùwǎn and Seeing Qiao Huizhu exchanged a glance, and a hint of disappointment appeared in their eyes.

It seemed they looked down on He Pingsheng for being too slow.

In fact, according to He Pingsheng's pace, he is indeed somewhat slow.

But it's not He Pingsheng's fault!

After all, He Pingsheng spends most of his time comprehending the Dao and laws, and has nearly mastered the extremely rare spatial Dao laws.

If he were simply pushing forward in cultivation, He Pingsheng would have already reached the Divine Lord Realm.

"What's wrong?" He Pingsheng frowned: "Did something happen?"

"There is something!" Wēn Bùwǎn said, "I thought that once you reached the Divine Lord Realm, our family could overcome the crisis!"

"But now it seems, Brother, your cultivation has not yet reached the Divine Lord Realm!"

"Crisis?" He Pingsheng's expression turned solemn: "Exactly what is going on?"
