205: Breakthroughs in succession, the fifth level of refining emptiness

Having completed his Breakthrough, Gu Liangyuan let out a light breath.

It seemed that the decision to let his Disciples go down the mountain was correct.

Jun Ao Zhi had only been down the mountain for half a month, and he had already successfully achieved Core Formation.

Gu Liangyuan offered Lü Qingmei an apologetic smile:

"Cultivation is just like this; the feeling of a Breakthrough can come at any time."

"I didn't scare you, did I?"

Gu Liangyuan's attitude was sincere, but when Lü Qingmei heard it, her heart felt incredibly sour.

What did he mean, Cultivation is just like this?

Clearly, only *his* Cultivation was like this!

Honestly, it didn't make sense.

According to common knowledge in the Cultivation World, whether it was Body Cultivation or other forms of Cultivation, the later the stage, the slower the progress.

Why did it feel like Gu Liangyuan was doing the opposite?

As his cultivation Breakthrough, his Cultivation speed also increased.

Absurd!

However, after this incident, Lü Qingmei's chaotic thoughts calmed down.

The two continued their journey, and before they even reached the vicinity of the Ji Kingdom, Gu Liangyuan's expression changed again:

"It's coming again!"

"Ah?"

Again?

Lü Qingmei was completely numb!

She could understand a sudden Breakthrough, but his last Breakthrough was less than an hour ago, and now he was having another one?

Buzz!

Gu Liangyuan's Aura surged again, and his Divine Sense was fully released, reaching a distance of twelve thousand li!

It was worth mentioning that the speed at which Divine Thought, as a substance, could be released was faster than any other known speed in the Cultivation World.

There was no concept of time; it all happened in a single thought.

However, to fully investigate everything within the range of Divine Sense still required a bit of searching.

Another Disciple had a Breakthrough, which was why Gu Liangyuan subsequently Broke Through to Void Refining Fifth Stage.

The four Primordial Spirits within his Sea of Consciousness also solidified by another thirty percent as Gu Liangyuan's cultivation improved.

Gu Liangyuan suspected that if he continued to Cultivate like this, his Primordial Spirits might even be able to materialize.

Feeling his cultivation gradually catching up to that of a Body Cultivator, and looking at the less than two hundred drops of True Dragon Blood in his mustard seed bracelet, Gu Liangyuan asked the System:

"System, can the System return Physical Body cultivation?"

"Ding, yes, the host only needs to set it in advance."

Gu Liangyuan pondered for a moment, then immediately said: "Place the power return function on the Physical Body, and the Disciple's cultivation return on the cultivation."

"Ding, setting successful."

Listening to the System's successful setting prompt, Gu Liangyuan's mind withdrew from the System space and looked at the stunned Lü Qingmei, saying:

"Light Eyebrow, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Lü Qingmei nodded: "You did."

As she spoke, she looked Gu Liangyuan up and down:

"That shouldn't be right; there have been people with Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir in history."

"But someone like Junior Martial Uncle, who finds Breakthroughs as easy as eating and drinking, I have never seen."

Gu Liangyuan smiled:

"Want to know why?"

Lü Qingmei nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, a sense of gratitude arose in her heart.

This method of improving cultivation, if it were any other Cultivator, they would surely value it more than their own life.

She hadn't expected Junior Martial Uncle to be so frank with her, even telling her about this.

But Gu Liangyuan's next sentence made the gratitude in her heart vanish without a trace.

She heard Gu Liangyuan say: "I'll tell you when you become my second Dao Companion."

Lü Qingmei was furious: "Why wouldn't I be the first?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lü Qingmei realized something was amiss.

Lü Qingmei, oh Lü Qingmei, what are you thinking?

Shouldn't you be concerned about the secret of his cultivation improvement?

So, she added another sentence:

"Bah, who wants to be your Dao Companion."

Gu Liangyuan looked at Lü Qingmei with a half-smile:

"Because I wanted to make you the Matriarch back then, but you weren't willing, so to respect your wishes, I could only let you be the second Dao Companion."

Lü Qingmei felt that she shouldn't continue on this topic, but she couldn't help but be curious:

"Then who is the main Dao Companion in your heart?"

Gu Liangyuan spread his hands: "How would I know?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Qingmei spoke with a hint of disdain:

"I didn't expect you to be so fickle."

Though she said that, the slight upturn of her lips betrayed the joy in her heart.

Looking at Lü Qingmei in this state, Gu Liangyuan flipped his hand, took out the Yellow Court Scripture and the Great Sun Burning Heaven Art, and handed them to Lü Qingmei:

"The Body Integration Realm, as the name suggests, is about completely fusing the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body."

"Although your Fire Spiritual Root talent is extraordinary, your Physical Body is too weak, which is why it's difficult to progress."

"This scroll of Yellow Court Scripture is a Legacy immortal scripture of Forget-Love Peak, and it doesn't conflict with your Wuji Peak's Legacy; it can make your Primordial Spirit more condensed."

"This scroll of Great Sun Burning Heaven Art is a Nine Revolutions Body Refining Mysterious Skill I obtained by chance, and it just happens to suit you."

"With these two Cultivation Techniques in hand, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

Lü Qingmei listened to Gu Liangyuan's introduction, her gaze fixed on the two Cultivation Techniques in Gu Liangyuan's hand.

Immortal scripture!

The entire Supreme Sacred Ground, only Forget-Love Peak, which was once the main lineage, possessed one.

On their Wuji Peak, the highest they had were only two scrolls of Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill.

One scroll was the Wuji Peak's Legacy Wuji Scripture, and the other was a Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

As the Matriarch, she naturally had the right to Cultivate these two Cultivation Techniques.

But besides the Wuji Scripture, the other scroll of Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill was not suitable for her.

So, even though she knew her shortcomings in Body Cultivation, she had no way to make up for them.

It was a genuine weakness in resources.

She hadn't expected Gu Liangyuan to give her these two Cultivation Techniques, solving her urgent problem.

Although the Supreme Seven Peaks were united, they were ultimately seven different Legacies, so while they might help each other in other aspects, in terms of Legacy, sharing was absolutely impossible.

Yet Gu Liangyuan didn't even bat an eyelid and gave her such an immortal scripture, how could she not feel touched?

Because of this, she was completely won over by Gu Liangyuan's broad-mindedness.

She admitted that she would never be able to share the Wuji Peak's Legacy with people from the other seven peaks.

Lü Qingmei exhaled a wisp of fragrant air; although she yearned for these two Cultivation Techniques, she also knew a truth: there was no free lunch in the world.

So she looked at Gu Liangyuan:

"I suppose Junior Martial Uncle isn't giving these two Cultivation Techniques for no reason, right?"

Gu Liangyuan nodded:

"That's right, the two great Holy Lands of the Supreme Jade Pool, I definitely can't handle them alone. I'll only grasp the general direction, and I hope that you will manage some of the daily trivial matters in the Supreme Sacred Ground."

Lü Qingmei was incredulous: "That's all you ask?"

Gu Liangyuan chuckled, leaned forward closer to Lü Qingmei, and stopped just as he was almost touching her.

With a mischievous smile on his face, he softly said:

"Or, should I make a more excessive request?"

Looking at Gu Liangyuan so close, Lü Qingmei felt as if her heart was being gripped by an invisible large hand.

It made her so nervous that she felt suffocated.

This feeling, from the day she was born until now, she had never experienced.

Although her mind was in turmoil, she pushed Gu Liangyuan away with a look of disdain.

After quickly snatching the two Cultivation Techniques from Gu Liangyuan's hand, she spat lightly:

"Bah, scoundrel."

Gu Liangyuan smiled, leaned back in his chair, and stretched:

"Forget-Love Peak owed a lot to your care back then, so what are these two Cultivation Techniques worth?"

"What I want has never been to stick to old ways. Given time, I will surely fill the Scripture Pavilion with Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, allowing all Disciples to choose freely."

If these words had come from anyone else, Lü Qingmei would certainly have scoffed.

But coming from Gu Liangyuan's mouth, Lü Qingmei had a feeling that he would definitely achieve it.

So she also smiled along with Gu Liangyuan:

"You definitely will."

She felt that making Gu Liangyuan the Matriarch was the most correct decision she had made since taking over the Supreme Sacred Ground.
