Insufficient balance

  Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Linghu Chong has thoroughly consolidated his cultivation realm. With the heavy Xuan Tie sword on his back, he prepares to leave Siu Gu Rocks.

  "Taishu Shu, aren't you going down the mountain with me?" Linghu Cong came to Feng Qingyang's cave to persuade him to go down the mountain together.

  "Little one, you go down first. My realm is still unstable and I need to retreat for a while." Feng Qingyang said with a smile.

  This period of time, Feng Qingyang was excited beyond measure. Originally thought to have reached the limit and would make no further progress in his cultivation for the rest of his life, he suddenly broke through. Once thoroughly consolidated, he will inevitably step into the legendary realm of myth, a realm that is too tempting for cultivators, not to mention it can also extend one's lifespan by fifty years, which is simply impossible to calm down about.

  "Taishu Shu, you won't still plan to live in seclusion on the back mountain and spend your old age in loneliness, will you? That would be a waste of life!" Linghu Chong asked. He was really afraid that Feng Qingyang would end up like in the original story, living in seclusion on Mount Hua's back mountain until old age, which would be a huge loss for the rising Huashan School.

  "You little scamp, I'm not an old fool, wasting good time in these mountains," Feng Qingyang explained with a smile. "As the only surviving member of the Wind Generation of Huashan Sect, I naturally hope that Huashan Sect can regain its former prosperity as soon as possible. The reason for my seclusion here is that at that time, Huashan Sect really couldn't see any signs of revival. Except for Yue Xiaoye and Ning Zhongze, not even a second-rate master could be found in the entire Huashan, what could I do with my old bones?"

  "But times have changed, you young man's cultivation has already surpassed mine, the Huashan Sect will surely flourish under your hands. I am old and my bones are weak, I can no longer fight and expand our territory, but I can still guard the gate and watch over the sect. With me holding down the fort, ordinary villains won't be able to shake the foundation of Huashan. You can rest assured and boldly go out to expand your domain."

  "So that's how it is. I said, with your temperament of sneaking into the Erye Garden alone at 15 years old, how could you be hiding in this desolate mountain? " Linghu Chong teased, and before Feng Qingyang got angry, he used his Lingbo Weibu to slip away, "Master Uncle, I'll head down the mountain first, you should come down soon too!"

  After descending from the Thoughtless Cliff, Linghu Chong's first priority was to pay his respects to Old Yue. It had been a long time since they last met, and he didn't know how well Old Yue's solo practice of the Nine Swords of Dugu was progressing.

  "Disciple pays respects to Master!" Linghu Chong thought respectfully of Yue Buqun.

  In Linghu Chong's heart, Yue Buqun has always been the person he most respects. Whether in the original work or in this life, one who is willing to revive the sect by being a hypocrite and pretending to be a gentleman, another who is willing to revive the sect by cutting off his own path, cannot help but make him admire from the bottom of his heart.

  Everyone who has seen The Smiling, Proud Wanderer will have the same two evaluations of Yue Buqun: the first shameless man in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, a master-level representative of pseudo-gentlemen, and an eternal little villain. At the same time, he is also the most dedicated, responsible, and powerful leader with a spirit of sacrifice in the entire world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, equally legendary, but unfortunately, his strength cannot support him until the end, becoming a tragic figure in the original work to set off Linghu Chong.

  The meeting place of the master and apprentice was still in Yue Buqun's study, Old Yue respectfully lit three incense sticks, solemnly bowed three times, and then gently inserted them into the incense burner. Only then did he turn around to face Linghu Chong.

  "You're back, I suppose you've made another breakthrough in your cultivation. Your master can't even see through you." Yue Buqun said strangely.

  The old Yue's cultivation is also one of the top super masters in the entire "Laughing in the Wind and Clouds", but now he can't even detect Lianhuachu's internal skill, if it wasn't for being certain that the person in front of him was not even a match for his own Hua Shan big brother disciple, Yue Buqun would have thought he was an ordinary person.

  "Ah, my cultivation has made some progress. I have something to report to Master." Then Linghu Chong gave a detailed report to Yue Buqun about the matter of Feng Qingyang, including that after Feng Qingyang finished his closed-door meditation and consolidated his realm, he would personally come to Huashan Sect to take charge.

  "Unexpectedly, Master Feng is still in the world, and my Huashan Sect has a chance to rise again!" Yue Buqun was filled with emotion, but suddenly seemed to think of something and exclaimed in shock, "You say Master Feng is in seclusion solidifying his realm? Thirty years ago, Master Feng was already one of the top masters in Jianghu, so what about now?"

  "Yes, Master Wind has broken through his own shackles and pierced the legendary gate. With just a bit more time to solidify his realm, he can ascend to the Mythic Realm and laugh at the martial world." Linghu Chong said with a smile.

  "Huh, Master, you've actually broken through to the Supreme Mastery Initial Stage?" Linghu Cong exclaimed in surprise. Just a month ago, Yue Buqun was still at the Apex Realm, and he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would also break free from his own shackles and advance directly.

  Yue Buqun was also shocked by these words, originally thinking that he had hidden very well. He thought that his defeat to Linghu Chong was only because of Linghu Chong's exquisite swordsmanship, and in terms of internal strength, he was confident that he far surpassed Linghu Chong. After all, Linghu Chong was someone he had personally trained, and normally liked to be lazy and slack off during practice, so even if he had some extraordinary encounters, his internal strength probably wasn't much higher than average.

  "Chong'er, what realm are you in now?" Being able to see through his hidden cultivation, it means that Linghu Chong is at least on the same level as him in terms of internal energy cultivation. However, considering Lao Yue's understanding of Linghu Chong, he really didn't dare to believe it.

  "Disciple has had many strange encounters, unfortunately, his talent is dull and stupid, only now has he just entered the Mythical Realm." Linghu Chong was afraid of scaring Yue Buqun, so he deliberately lowered a few realms and said, not daring to tell Old Yue that he was already at the peak of the Mythical Realm, perhaps as long as his energy was sufficient, he could shatter the void at any time.

  "Pffft!" Yue Buqun spat out the tea he had just taken into his mouth all over Linghu Cong's face.

  Damn it, you're fed dog food, and at the age of 25, you've become a legendary super master that has never appeared in the Jianghu for thousands of years. You still have the nerve to say that your talent is dull? I'm just entering the realm of the absolute world, what am I, an old fool? A retard? A piece of dog shit?

  Upon hearing Linghu Cong's seemingly humble words, Old Yue's entire face turned green, then white, then red, and finally purple. He took two deep breaths before barely suppressing the urge to strangle Linghu Cong to death.

  It's fortunate that Old Madame Yu has a deep understanding of the situation and knows when to hold back, otherwise she would have slapped Lao Fu two times just now.

  "Hmm! A martial artist, building a strong foundation is the most important thing. Don't be impatient and neglect your foundation, or you'll suffer greatly in the future!" Yue Buqun coughed dryly and lectured.

  Although Old Madame Yu's martial arts attainment was inferior to Linghu Chong, her knowledge of martial theory was something that even a hundred Linghu Chongs couldn't match, so he listened humbly.
