Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Too Bitter 1

Translator: 549690339

Breaking through seven layers in the Gangyuan Realm in just four or five months?

Indeed, this opportunity is not insignificant. The first thing Lu Tianxiang thought of was the great opportunity that Prince Wu’an was waiting for.

The legendary chance to enhance the quality of the Martial True Pill when breaking through to the True Martial Realm is probably unattainable for those in the Gangyuan Realm, but it’s still possible to greatly improve one’s cultivation by scraping up some residual benefits.

A hint of joy appeared on Lu Tianxiang’s lovely face. If that were the case, wouldn’t she be able to snatch the great opportunity ahead of time?

Diancang Master and the Great Master both bowed their heads and didn’t see this peach-blossom-like moment. Lu Tianxiang said in a grave tone, ‘Explain in detail, and there must not be the slightest concealment.”

She needed to know where this secret territory was, what was inside it, and what he had experienced within… This was crucial to whether she could seize the great opportunity that Prince Wu’an had been eagerly waiting for ahead of time.

“This subordinate dares not.” The Great Master replied respectfully, his voice filled with sincerity and reverence.

“That day, as I was about to travel to Tulan City in Dingyuan Manor to spread the teachings, I passed by a small mountain a hundred meters high. While resting there, a terrifying suction force suddenly appeared and absorbed me. When I appeared again, I had already entered the secret territory.”

This Great Master did not realize that it was the Underground World; he still thought he had entered a secret territory.

“The spiritual energy in the secret territory was extremely rich. Having explored it a bit, I found the secret territory to be vast, containing innumerable treasures, Divine Pills, Immortal Elixirs, Immortal Scriptures, and holy techniques, precious relics, great treasures… all you could wish for.”

“Before the countless treasures, there was a barrier of nine-colored light. Despite all my efforts, I could not make the slightest crack, and therefore I couldn’t procure the treasures. I beg the Sect Hierarch’s forgiveness.”

“I had intended to report back to you immediately, Sect Hierarch, but I couldn’t find an exit. Thus, I cultivated in the secret territory for a while, and my cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.”

Unable to help herself, Lu Tianxiang asked, “Then how did you get out?”

“Eh… Today, a horrific suction force suddenly appeared within the secret territory, and I found myself back on top of that mountain. After coming out, I immediately returned. ”

Lu Tianxiang nodded slightly and said, “Very well, you have established a great merit this time, and I, as the Sect Hierarch, will reward you handsomely. I grant you…”

“Diancang Master, your contributions are also not insignificant. Therefore, I will bestow upon you an Earth-grade Superior Martial Art for you to diligently cultivate.”

“Thank you, Sect Hierarch!” The two exclaimed excitedly in response.

“This matter is absolutely confidential. After you leave, you must not inform anyone. If a single word is leaked, do not blame me for being ruthless.”

Diancang Master and the Great Master trembled together and repeatedly said they dared not do so, then they left and departed from Erhai.

Inside the grand hall, Lu Tianxiang paced back and forth, unable to calm her restless heart, feeling an infinite longing.

Her main cultivation technique was incomplete, albeit Heaven Rank Lower

Grade, enough for her to break through to the True Martial Realm, but Lu Tianxiang aspired to reach a higher realm. Was there a complete version of the cultivation technique in that secret territory?

Or perhaps there were other powerful techniques more suitable for her cultivation and of a higher grade?

Based on her subordinate’s description, there must be higher-grade techniques in that secret territory, even those surpassing Heaven Rank. The sooner she could seize them, the more extraordinary the opportunity would be.

Techniques above Heaven Rank, the unparalleled might of Divine Weapons and

Elixirs—if she obtained these, she would rise to power and be unstoppable in the Qianyuan Divine Province.

Lu Tianxiang didn’t know if this secret territory was the opportunity that Prince Wu’an had been waiting for, nor did she know whether her subordinate’s description was true; everything the Great Master saw might be false.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Tianxiang decided to travel to Dingyuan Manor and have a look, preferably to enter the secret territory herself to see if what her subordinate had described was true.

Out of self-interest, Lu Tianxiang did not intend to inform the power behind her for the time being, otherwise, she would gain too little.

If she also couldn’t breach the nine-colored light barrier, then she would decide whether to inform the powers behind her.

Da Qian, Capital City.

Jinyue Palace, the back garden.

Here, bamboo formed a sea of purple, peaceful and serene. In the center of the bamboo sea sat a beautiful woman in a yellow palace dress, idly plucking the strings of a guqin. The sound of the guqin, ethereal and lingering, created a beautiful scene.

“Did you eat someone again?”

A voice with a hint of annoyance suddenly arose, accompanied by a mature woman in a purple palace dress.

“Mhm-”

The woman in yellow replied softly, her slender, fair hands continuing to play the guqin, its sound melodious and plaintive, reverberating through the sea of bamboo.

“Why?” the woman in the purple dress was somewhat indignant.

The woman in the yellow dress did not respond.

“Do you realize who that man you ate was? He was the second son of the Li principal official from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and this could bring us big trouble,” the woman in the purple dress continued to say.

The woman in the yellow dress laughed lightly and said, “A principal official from the Ministry of Household is nothing but a minor sixth-rank officer, what can he do?”

Hearing this, the woman in the purple dress bitterly smiled and sighed, “The Li principal official may not be capable, but don’t forget this is the Imperial Capital of Da Qian. Here we have the Imperial Astronomer and those mad dogs from the Jingye Office who would start investigating at the faintest scent.”

“If you really want to eat humans, would it not be better to eat those ordinary commoners? There are hundreds of millions of them in the Capital City; no one would notice even if a hundred or two hundred went missing.”

“The commoners are too bitter, not tasty, ” said the woman in the yellow dress nonchalantly.

“Too bitter…” The woman in the purple dress suddenly fell silent.

“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of everything. The Jingye Office won’t be able to trace it back to us.”

“I hope so.”

The woman in the purple dress looked deeply at the woman in the yellow dress, then her figure disappeared into the bamboo forest.

In Lingjun City, at Han Mansion.

Han Li was naming the offspring recently born to Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin.

He had been staying in Lingjun City for several more months, and all the pregnant concubines began to give birth one after another; this was already Han Li’s eighth time naming offspring this month.

When the remaining forty-plus concubines gave birth to their offspring, he would be busy once more, naming all the newborn children.

Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, the strikingly beautiful sisters, had sown their seeds almost at tne same time, tnus gnnng Dirtn on tne same day, eacn to a aaugnter. The daughters did not possess the same talent as their first-born, but they were still of seventh-grade caliber.

“Yiwu’s daughter shall be named Han Yongyan, and Yiyin’s daughter shall be named Han Yongyan. What do you two think?”

Holding a daughter in each arm, Han Li looked at the two slightly pale yet stunningly beautiful women and announced the charming names he had chosen for their daughters.

“Whatever my husband decides is good.”

The two women responded with charming, delightful smiles, quite pleased with the names.

“Yongyan, Yongyan.”

Looking at the two daughters in his arms, Han Li’s face overflowed with joy. More offspring meant more happiness for him, especially those with talent.

After handing the two daughters over to a maid, Han Li went over to Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, gently caressing their lovely faces and kissing their foreheads.

“Yiwu, Yiyin, you have both worked hard.”

He held each woman’s hand and spoke warmly.

A blush rose on Lin Yiwu’s pretty face, while Lin Yiyin proudly displayed her magnificent figure and said with a smile:

“My lord, my sister and I are both Pihai Realm cultivators, not as fragile as ordinary women.”

“Even so, you both need to rest properly,” Han Li shook his head gently.

After talking with Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin for a while longer, Han Li instructed the women to rest well in the coming days and to resume cultivation once their vitality had recovered.

Only after both women responded with a nod did Han Li leave with ease.

Arriving alone at Fragrance Garden, Han Li gazed at the picturesque scenery, took a deep breath, and began to check the system prompt.

PSI: The launch date has been set but also delayed; it won’t be possible to launch next week, so we’ll have to wait another week. I share everyone’s feelings of wanting to launch sooner.

Considering a chapter now only runs a little over two thousand words, it’s really not enough to cover a complete plot development, which sort of hampers performance. And to get featured, I can’t release too many chapters, but once we launch, I’ll be able to update much more frequently.
