When they arrived at the imperial palace, they found Lin Beifan standing unharmed in front of a palace.

Everyone was stunned, “Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Of course I’m alright, thank you all for your concern!”

“But that powerful aura…”

Lin Beifan turned his head to glance at the palace behind him and laughed, “That’s Sword Elder. He’s about to make a breakthrough!”

“Sword Elder… a breakthrough…” Everyone was shocked.

Sword Elder was already at the peak of Imperial Qi, just half a step away from the realm of Grandmaster.

If he was to make a breakthrough, where could he possibly go?

Of course, it would be…

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out: “I’ve broken through! I’ve finally broken through! Haha…”

With a whoosh, a familiar figure burst out from the palace.

Upon closer inspection, it was Sword Elder himself.

He was the same person, but he seemed different.

Because he was now exuding a powerful aura that not only covered the entire imperial palace but also enveloped the whole city.

The aura was so terrifying that even Innate experts couldn’t lift their swords.

Everyone was astounded, looking at the person before them in disbelief.

“Sword Elder has really made a breakthrough!”

“Grandmaster! This must be the realm of Grandmaster!”

“Our Great Xia finally has its own Grandmaster!”

The crowd was both excited and overjoyed.

Sword Elder was even more emotional, tears streaming down his face as he said, “I never expected that at the end of my life, I would have the chance to glimpse the realm of Grandmaster. The heavens have been kind to me! The heavens have been kind…”

Reflecting on his life, he could be described as having achieved nothing remarkable.

No extraordinary talent, no mentor to impart skills, no background or resources, and no fortunate encounters.

He had lived a plain and uneventful life without any great waves or splendor.

He had thought that he would never bee a Grandmaster in this lifetime, but fate played a joke on him.

At the end of his life, he broke through to the realm of Grandmaster!

One must know, there are only around 100 known Grandmasters in the whole world!

Each Grandmaster could be considered a favored child of the heavens, someone he used to only admire from afar, not daring to approach.

Now, he had bee one of them!

He could sit and discuss with them, stir up the winds and clouds of the world!

At that moment, everyone said in unison, “We greet the Grandmaster!”

“Haha… No need for such formalities!”

Sword Elder laughed heartily. “I am very happy about today’s breakthrough! In seven days, I plan to hold a symposium to share some of my insights from the path of cultivation. I hope everyone can e!”

Everyone was excited, especially the Innate experts!

A Grandmaster was someone who could establish sects and be revered as a master and elder.

Such impressive individuals were rare!

If they could receive guidance from a Grandmaster, it would surely save them many detours and possibly help them reach new heights!

The crowd exclaimed joyfully, “Thank you, Grandmaster!”

“Haha! Don’t call me Grandmaster; just call me Sword Elder as you used to. It sounds more familiar!” Sword Elder laughed.

Everyone immediately corrected themselves, “Thank you, Sword Elder!”

At this point, Lin Beifan finally interjected, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may all leave. After you go, proclaim this news to the world, saying that Great Xia also has a Grandmaster now, and let there be a three-day celebration across the heavens!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” the crowd responded.

“Your Majesty, there is another important matter at hand!” Chai Yulang said.

“Uncle, what’s the matter?” Lin Beifan asked, puzzled.

“Your Majesty, you once said that as long as our Great Xia has a Grandmaster, we can establish a Dynasty! Look, Elder Sword has already bee a Grandmaster. Is it now possible…”

Everyone looked at Lin Beifan with faces full of anticipation.

Lin Beifan laughed heartily, “So that’s what this is about. Indeed, the time has e! Immediately choose an auspicious day for me, hold a grand ceremony, and announce to the whole world that our Great Xia is going to establish a Dynasty!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Everyone was overjoyed and left the imperial palace one after another.

Only Lin Beifan and Elder Sword remained.

Lin Beifan said with a smile, “My disciple, you are now known throughout the world after a century of practicing the sword in obscurity. From today onwards, you will bee famous far and wide, ranking among the strong of this era!”

Elder Sword bowed deeply, his eyes brimming with gratitude, “Thank you, Master, for your grace in taking care of me! My breakthrough to Grandmaster was entirely due to your guidance and teachings! I hope you will continue to instruct me so that I can reach even greater heights!”

Indeed, it was with Lin Beifan’s guidance that he had broken through to Grandmaster.

But only after his breakthrough did he realize how profound and mysterious the martial arts knowledge Lin Beifan had taught him was, and he was still reaping the benefits.

Therefore, he wanted to continue learning from Lin Beifan, to bee stronger, and to reach even higher realms.

Lin Beifan looked at him with a face full of satisfaction. Sword Elder remembered his roots and was grateful to his Master, a truly mendable attitude!

Wasn’t it precisely because of these rare and precious qualities that he had taken him as a disciple in the first place?

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be frustrating to teach a white-eyed wolf? (TLN: ungrateful person)

“If you wish to learn, as your teacher, I will naturally teach you! I have many more martial arts secrets to pass on to you!” Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Elder Sword was overjoyed, “Thank you, Master, for your generosity!”

While he was happy, there was also a tinge of regret in his heart.

His Master had such a talent for martial arts; if he had focused on practicing, he would surely have broken through to the Grandmaster realm!

Even reaching the Great Grandmaster level was not out of the question!

What a pity!

“Disciple, you’ve just made a breakthrough and need to consolidate your realm. I won’t disturb you any longer! You just focus on your cultivation, and I will arrange the other matters for you!” Lin Beifan left.

“Thank you, Master, I bid you farewell!”

……

Back in his study, Lin Beifan heard a notification from the Empire Sandbox.

“Ding! Due to the growth of the player’s national power, your strength has increased accordingly. You are rewarded with the ‘Art of Longevity’!”

“The Art of Longevity, allegedly written by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, is a top-level Taoist cultivation technique! It allows one to directly cultivate Innate True Qi, enabling a rapid breakthrough into the Celestial Realm! Moreover, it preserves youth and extends life, ensuring longevity like that of a turtle!” (TLN: Yellow Emperor / Huangdi is a legendary figure in Chinese mythology and history.)

“Needless to say, it must be thanks to my good disciple’s breakthrough, double happiness has arrived!” Lin Beifan laughed.

The addition of a Grandmaster to the nation greatly amplified the national power.

It would be strange if it didn’t increase!
