Previous ntions of the best lot suggested that what I might get was a Third-Rank Opportunity with potential for further advancent, and it seed clear now that the further advancent hinged on whether my Root Bone Physique could be improved again,*Lei Jun mused.*
Immortal Root Bone.
Looking across the current world, it was extrely rare.
Even within the context of our own Celestial Master Mansion, as far as Lei Jun knew, only Tang Xiaotang, the junior sister, possessed it at present.
Going back further, the last Immortal Body in the Celestial Master Mansion belonged to Celestial Master Li’s successor, Li Cangting.
But that was over a hundred years ago.
When that upheaval ended after many years, Tang Xiaotang only joined the Celestial Master Mansion later, so the sect never experienced the joy of having two disciples with Immortal Root Bone at the sa ti.
Now, there was a glimr of hope.
And it wasn’t just Immortal Root Bone.
"Hmm..." Tang Xiaotang imdiately stood up, circling Lei Jun twice with great enthusiasm, scrutinizing him top to bottom.
Lei Jun said,"Junior sister, could you please not look at people in a way that’s so easily misunderstood?"
"What nonsense is that?"
Tang Xiaotang propped her chin with a finger,"I was just thinking that you really are sothing else. Since ancient tis, there have been cases of people born with both Immortal Body Root Bone and Serene Comprehension, though it’s rare, but there is precedent. But soone like you, who managed to raise both Root Bone and Comprehension to this level through acquired ans, if you succeed, you’d be the first, right?"
Lei Jun corrected,"My Root Bone isn’t there yet."
Tang Xiaotang acted as if she hadn’t heard the correction,"Acquired improvent is already rare, and the way you keep improving is even more unusual."
Lei Jun repeated his earlier point,"It’s all luck, honestly, it’s not easy."
He looked at Tang Xiaotang,"Of course, acquired improvent is good, but compared to soone brilliant like you, junior sister, it still wastes a lot of ti."
So people progressed from Tao Boy straight to Celestial Master.
From another angle, it mirrored how brief her cultivation journey was.
At about seven years old, Xu Yuanzhen picked her up on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Then, at eight years old, Tang Xiaotang passed through the Heavenly Moat Tribulation between First and Second Heaven Layers, establishing her Foundation.
By nine, she ascended to the Threefold Heavenly Layer Law Platform.
At eleven, it was the Fourfold Heavenly Origin Talisman.
Thirteen, the Five-layered Heaven Tao Palace.
Fifteen, the Sixth Layer Heaven Dao Seal.
Eighteen, Seventh Heaven Layer, Heaven-connecting Realm!
All things considered, just over ten years, and she already reached the Upper Three Realms.
Normally, people her age would still be serving as Tao Boys in the Tao Boy Court.
From Sevenfold Heaven to Eighth Heaven Layer, Tang Xiaotang’s pace finally slowed a bit.
But during that ti, a lot of it she spent wandering outside, focused on searching for the lost Celestial Master’s Sword...
Of course, Tang Xiaotang’s speed of advancent was truly extraordinary.
Even among those gifted with both Innate Immortal Body Root Bone and Serene Comprehension, since records began, she still ranked at the very top for improvent speed.
"But speaking of which..." Lei Jun suddenly recalled,"Junior sister, do you know what level of Root Bone and Comprehension Senior Sister has?"
Tang Xiaotang shook her head,"I don’t know, and it’s not just —Master probably doesn’t know for sure either."
She turned a bit mysterious as she said to Lei Jun,"Actually, I suspect Senior Sister’s talent has been improved after birth, just like yours."
Lei Jun pondered upon hearing that.
Tang Xiaotang quickly added, with a hint of boredom,"But I don’t really know the specifics. When Senior Sister gets back, I’ll ask her in person."
"It doesn’t matter if we ask or not—as long as Senior Sister returns safe, that’s all that counts." Lei Jun said.
The tall young woman in front of him pursed her lips,"She’ll definitely make it back safe. Even Lin Che could co back; how could Senior Sister not? I just wonder where she’s off enjoying herself right now?"
The tone she used sounded a little longing and envious.
Lei Jun said,"Though our sect has focused on recuperation and avoided rash action in recent years, it wouldn’t hurt to keep an eye on the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and Northern Border Great Black Mountain."
After chatting a little longer, Lei Jun took his leave from the Celestial Master Hall, returning to his own quarters.
The Balance of Motion and Stillness, after being woven together with Lei Jun’s mana, gradually transford into a weighty liquid that rolled like rcury, losing its previous two aspects of balanced change.
Then, Lei Jun temporarily rged the Balance of Motion and Stillness into his body using his own flesh and blood.
With his Yin Yang Sacred Body and much higher cultivation strength than ng Shaojie, it was natural he could control this treasure.
Even faced with extres like Pure Yang or Pure Yin powerful intent, the Balance of Motion and Stillness inside Lei Jun wouldn’t go out of control, nor beco so agitated as to flow into his Spiritual Soul.
Moreover, even if the Balance of Motion and Stillness did flow into the Spiritual Soul, he had the Celestial Master Seal and the Celestial Book in the True One Altar Cave Heaven there as well.
Lei Jun stowed away the Balance of Motion and Stillness, and continued to focus on his cultivation.
Above his head, brilliance flashed, gathering to form a jade seal nearly identical in shape to the Celestial Master Seal, subtle and exquisitely condensed.
......
Thirty miles outside the Capital City, the Eastern Palace’s carriage was temporarily stopped.
Here, safety was no longer a concern.
Chu Yu had already entered the city, reporting to the Empress, while the others waited outside for royal orders.
Crown Prince Zhang Hui’s brushwork was ticulous and neat; in no ti, a beautiful scroll of art erged under his brush.
Setting his brush aside, Zhang Hui studied it up and down for a mont, nodded in satisfaction, then stamped his private seal on the painting.
At this mont, he was accompanied only by one reading companion.
Qingzhou Ye Song.
"Cousin, co take a look at my latest work," Zhang Hui said with a smile,
The scene in the painting was of beautiful mountains and woods, drifting white clouds, radiating an aura of immortality.
It was exactly those spots where they had toured on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Ye Song said,"Your Highness always harbors universes in his heart; every stroke is divine."
Zhang Hui smiled,"It’s not so magical. I couldn’t paint it then, so I just morized the scenery and only now did I recreate it."
