Chapter 692: Chapter 51: Wind and Thunder Steps, Great Success! One Step Wind and Thunder Shock!
Water Moon Sword Palace.
Located on the central island of Shuiyue Lake.
The palace is connected along the path, entirely covered with blue glazed tiles.
Under the sunlight, it shines with a brilliant blue light.
The previous Master of Water Moon Sword Palace, although stopped at the Peak of Fourth Grade for life, elevated Water Moon Sword Palace to a top force in Dongling County.
After Xiao Qiushui succeeded as the Palace Master, she once again raised Water Moon Sword Palace’s status by half a rank.
Because when she succeeded as the Palace Master, she was already at the Peak of Fourth Grade, defeating the vengeful elder, with the Green Water Sword at Shuiyue Lake.
The battle made her famous, known as the strongest below the Grandmaster in Dongling County.
Among the various forces without a Grandmaster in Dongling County, Water Moon Sword Palace subtly beca the foremost force under the court of Dongling County.
This was not because Xiao Qiushui was markedly stronger than the previous Palace Master.
It’s because Xiao Qiushui is young enough, taking the position as Palace Master at not even forty years old.
At this age, being at the Peak of Fourth Grade is very young, and to step into a Grandmaster would not be difficult, and with her strong physical capabilities, achieving Human Dao Grandmaster would be a breeze.
There’s even a certain potential to beco the highest-grade Grandmaster, a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.
It is this potential and possibility that greatly enhanced Xiao Qiushui’s status and reputation and paved a promising future for Water Moon Sword Palace.
Over the years, even though Xiao Qiushui has made no visible progress, no one dared to underestimate her.
Everyone could see that Xiao Qiushui’s stagnation is rely for the purpose of achieving Heavenly Human Grandmaster in one step, a Flawless Heavenly Person Master.
To step directly from Fourth Grade into Heavenly Human Grandmaster, incorporating Heaven and Earth Spirit chanism into the body, that is a Flawless Heavenly Person Master.
It surpasses entering a Human Dao Grandmaster first and then stepping into a Heavenly Human Grandmaster relying on the foundation of a Grandmaster, more pure in essence.
No one dared to say that Xiao Qiushui wouldn’t reach this step before her physical capabilities declined and Qi-Blood deteriorated.
If she reaches this step, it would be like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, ascending to the skies in a single step.
In the entire Thirty-six Prefectures of the Nine States, she would be a significant presence.
A Grandmaster Banquet at this level is enough to attract experts from afar.
To step from Fourth Grade directly into Heavenly Human Grandmaster.
As long as there are no accidents along the way, there is a fifty percent chance of stepping into Second Grade Grandmaster.
Once stepping into Second Grade Grandmaster, looking across the world, she would be a top-tier expert, overpowering heroes worldwide.
In the Thirty-six Prefectures of the Nine States, there are few who can rank above a Second Grade Grandmaster, most being elusive like dragons glimpsing in the clouds.
…
Two days later.
Qiuyue Hall.
Xiao Ei knelt on the cold floor, beside her was Yu Manyun’s sword, and a bloodstained nightgown.
On the steps.
A woman in a palace dress looked down at Xiao Ei, her long skirt trailing on the floor.
This was the owner of the palace here, Xiao Qiushui.
The first strongest under the Grandmaster in Dongling County.
“Yu Manyun is dead?” The voice was calm, like placid water in a pool.
“Yes, she’s dead!” Xiao Ei lowered her head.
“According to the investigation, was it murder?”
“I don’t know.” Xiao Ei shook her head.
“Besides him, who else would dare, could have killed Yu Manyun, right?” Xiao Qiushui said indifferently.
“What Master said is reasonable!” Xiao Ei bowed her head in agreent.
“Get up! It’s not your fault!” Xiao Qiushui’s voice was calm.
“Yes, Master!” Hearing this, Xiao Ei obediently stood up.
“Go and invite my sister here!” Xiao Qiushui spoke again.
“Yes, Master!”
Xiao Ei respectfully answered, bowed to Xiao Qiushui on the steps, and then retreated out of the palace.
…
A mont later.
A middle-aged woman, her brows full of sorrow and her face full of weariness, slowly entered the main hall under the guidance of Xiao Ei.
“Ei, you may leave!”
“Yes, Master!”
Xiao Ei bowed and slowly exited the main hall.
Soon, only the two won remained in the spacious main hall.
Their brows bore three to four points of resemblance.
Xiao Qiushui stood on the steps, her clothes luxurious, her complexion fair, her skin plump, she appeared quite young, looking to be around thirty.
But the woman below the steps was different, her face sallow, cheekbones sunken, skin slack, eyes filled with crow’s feet, appearing to be in her forties.
“Qiuyue, your son’s death has aged you so much?” Xiao Qiushui was a bit moved seeing her sister’s current appearance.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiuyue smiled ruefully.
“You don’t understand! I had only this one son; he was my only sustenance.”
Hearing this, Xiao Qiushui sighed softly.
“It seems locking you up has already killed your heart!”
Xiao Qiuyue below the steps remained silent.
Her only son’s death had taken her soul away with it.
Then.
Xiao Qiuyue slowly stepped down from the steps.
“Qiuyue, if I let you go back, what will you do?”
“Let go back?” Xiao Qiuyue looked up at her elder sister, who was the Palace Master: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll completely offend the Inspection Office?”
“That Commander Jiang, there’s only an eighty percent chance he killed your son!”
“Eighty percent is enough!” Xiao Qiuyue gritted her teeth.
“Qiuyue, it seems you won’t change your mind!” Xiao Qiushui sighed softly.
Then she added: “I will let you go back!”
“Let go back?” Xiao Qiuyue was stunned, looking at her sister.
Suddenly, she laughed heartily.
“So you want to be utterly emotionless and succeed in reaching Supre Forget Emotion, thereby stepping into the process of Heavenly Manification, the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.”
At this mont, Xiao Qiuyue completely understood.
She understood all of her sister’s thoughts.
Xiao Qiushui stood in front of her, without speaking, without refuting.
Then.
Xiao Qiuyue turned and left.
