“Meng Qingzhou, why are you so silent? Do you think what Xiyue did was wrong?”
“No… it’s fine.”
Meng Qingzhou forced a laugh, feeling a bit uneasy.
Who was Wu Die? She was practically a little demoness, yet Dongfang Liuli had subdued her with just a few words.
Initially, he had deliberately arranged for Dongfang Liuli to be his bed-warming maid, not really intending for her to sleep with him. He was afraid Dongfang Liuli would think he was fickle and develop a grudge, so it was just a prank.
But unexpectedly, Dongfang Liuli, under a different identity, seemed to revert to her original self—uninhibited and flamboyant.
Three or four years ago, on a rainy night in an abandoned temple, they had met for the first time. Dongfang Liuli was actually just like she was now, only her identity had changed.
“Meng Qingzhou, it’s getting late. After dinner, I’ll warm your bed,” Dongfang Liuli said, massaging his shoulders with considerable strength.
Meng Qingzhou winced in pain, forcing himself to say, “No need. I’m loyal to my wife. The bed-warming maid thing was just a joke, don’t take it seriously.”
Dongfang Liuli leaned forward, her soft body pressing against his back through her wide robes. She whispered in his ear, her breath fragrant, “How can that be? Xiyue has never been good at lying. One is one, and two is two. Since I agreed, there’s no reason to go back on my word.”
“As a Sword Saint, renowned throughout the Wilderness, who in the world doesn’t know you? With such honor, it’s only right to have a few female companions.”
Meng Qingzhou swallowed hard, not out of lust, but out of nervousness.
Having seen Dongfang Liuli’s methods, easily dealing with Wu Die, he couldn’t be sure if she was speaking sincerely or sarcastically now.
What if he answered wrong and his wife got upset?
“Xiyue, you misunderstood. I didn’t know your true intentions before, so I was suspicious. The bed-warming maid thing was just a test to see if you were sincere in your allegiance.”
“Very good, you passed the test!”
Meng Qingzhou gave a thumbs up and continued, “From now on, stay by my side. Rest assured, I am a man of integrity, loyal to my wife, upholding male virtue, and respecting my lady. I will never cross the line.”
Dongfang Liuli’s grip relaxed, becoming much gentler.
Meng Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, feeling lucky.
It was indeed a test! Luckily, I’m smart, or things could have gone very wrong.
A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; the ancients did not deceive me.
[Ding!]
[The Great Jin Dynasty’s territory has expanded, its foundation growing stronger. A Moon Shine Realm cultivator has broken through to the Morning Glow Realm, the nation’s fortune flourishing, subtly occupying half of the Wilderness. The credit goes to the host, receiving rewards.]
[Reward: One month of Great Emperor Grade comprehension.]
[Reward: Primordial Creation Bloodline advancement—evolving from initial to intermediate stage.]
[Intermediate Primordial Creation Bloodline: Contains a certain degree of immortality attribute, recovery efficiency increased to 300%.]
The system’s prompt sounded in his ear.
Meng Qingzhou straightened up. Finally, it had arrived! After defeating the Ancestral Sect Alliance, the Great Jin Dynasty had seized countless resources, which needed time to be gradually assimilated.
Not only that, but the extreme eastern territory had also been completely annexed by the Great Jin. These rewards would only be given once the Great Jin had fully assimilated the resources and converted them into foundation, thus enhancing national power.
In an instant.
Meng Qingzhou felt a sudden clarity in his mind, his thoughts extremely clear and agile. The previously elusive and incomprehensible aspects of the Swordsmanship of Time and Space now all came to mind and were thoroughly understood.
Great Emperor Grade comprehension!
Though it was only for a month, it was undoubtedly a timely help. Currently, Meng Qingzhou’s accumulation was insufficient, and breaking through to the Sky-Reaching Realm seemed far off. Now, with the support of this extraordinary comprehension, his progress in embodying the Dao would be greatly accelerated!
The most challenging aspect of embodying the Dao is comprehension. With enough extraordinary comprehension, one can leave even the most talented geniuses far behind in this realm.
“The difficulty of embodying the Dao lies in constructing an inner universe, establishing an internal world cycle, making the inner universe stable enough to bear the principles and integrate them into the body.”
“Integrating the principles is not difficult; the challenge is whether the inner universe can bear it. If it is not stable or complete enough, forcibly embodying the Dao will cause the inner universe to collapse instantly, leading to either total loss of cultivation or death.”
“Generally speaking, the stronger the principles, the more complete and stable the inner universe needs to be.”
“The stronger the principles, the heavier the weight, like a massive stone. The inner universe is like a tray, bearing this stone. The heavier the stone, the sturdier the tray must be. The lighter the stone, the more careless the tray can be.”
Meng Qingzhou fished patiently, unmoved even as the float sank, surrounded by a misty celestial glow.
Comprehending the Dao! Enlightenment at a higher level!
With the support of extraordinary comprehension, comprehending the Dao is that simple!
Thinking of this, Meng Qingzhou couldn’t help but think of Ji Wushuang. According to him, he would break through to the Sky-Reaching Realm in another month or two.
Ji Wushuang’s World’s Dao, which plunders thousands of principles and fuses them into one, must be incredibly heavy. Yet he is confident of breaking through in such a short time—impressive.
However, Ji Wushuang’s age is a factor. He has been stuck in the Morning Glow Realm for decades. Breaking through now is not surprising. His talent and comprehension are monstrous, and he is designated by the Heaven-Watching Pavilion as the next Human Emperor, naturally standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
Dongfang Liuli quietly released her grip on his shoulders, glancing at Wu Die and Su Qingqiu, who were still bickering. She raised a finger to her lips in a gesture for silence: “Shh!”
Su Qingqiu, as if granted amnesty, quickly glared at Wu Die, who was still angry, and pointed at Meng Qingzhou.
Seeing this, Wu Die had no choice but to suppress her anger, pinching Su Qingqiu’s waist hard and transmitting her voice: “I’ll deal with you later!”
The three women quietly watched Meng Qingzhou. Su Qingqiu stepped closer and whispered to Dongfang Liuli, “What’s wrong with the master?”
“Comprehending the Dao,” Dongfang Liuli said gravely, uttering just two words.
Hearing this, Su Qingqiu and Wu Die were both shocked.
Fishing while comprehending the Dao?
The master is indeed a monster!
Suddenly.
Meng Qingzhou snapped out of his state of comprehension, for no other reason than that his Primordial Creation Bloodline was advancing!
Instantly, a terrifying ocean of blood energy shot through the sky, enveloping the entire capital.
The pure life essence caused dead trees to bloom and all things to flourish.
Even the fish and shrimp in the pond, just by absorbing a tiny bit of the blood energy, underwent dramatic changes, their life essence leaping forward!!
Seeing this, Dongfang Liuli’s breath caught, staring intently at Meng Qingzhou’s back.
That mysterious life energy!
It seemed to have transformed…
Thinking of this, Dongfang Liuli’s phoenix eyes narrowed, a smile forming under her mask.
