Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

The old man did not finish his words.

But Lu Ye instantly understood that if she could endure it, it would prove that there was indeed something strange inside Jiang Qingge!

However, such an act was indeed somewhat dangerous.

Lu Ye didn't act hastily and, after disconnecting from the old man's voice transmission, withdrew the Source Qi from Jiang Qingge's body.

"Have you... finished investigating?"

Feelings of numbness disappeared from her body, and Jiang Qingge asked softly.

She was somewhat hopeful that Lu Ye, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, might have the opportunity to discern why she could not cultivate.

However, Lu Ye did not speak and just quietly looked at her.

In this silent scene, Jiang Qingge's eyes, from holding a sliver of hope, gradually realized something, and that vague hope receded like the tide, slowly vanishing.

Is it still... destined that I cannot cultivate?

Lu Ye pondered, considering how to explain this matter to Jiang Qingge.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye said, "Actually, it's not that you have no chance to tread the path of cultivation; it's just that there is danger."

"Danger... I have a chance?!"

"I'm not afraid of danger! Lu Ye, just tell me." At that moment, Jiang Qingge, snapping out of her daze, had her eyes flare with bright light.

As long as she could cultivate, even if there were a mountain of knives ahead... Jiang Qingge would go straight past it.

"Your Dantian seems to be a bit strange, but since you have no cultivation, if I probed using Inner Qi, you might not be able to withstand it."

Lu Ye spoke slowly.

An ordinary person's Dantian, not deliberately opened through a cultivation technique, is almost just a narrow bit of space.

Jiang Qingge hesitated not for a moment and decisively said, "Let's try it. If it fails... at least I won't regret it."

Seeing the resolute expression on Jiang Qingge's face, Lu Ye could tell she indeed very much wanted to step onto the path of cultivation, even at the risk of an accident.

Since this was the case, Lu Ye didn't dissuade her, after all, in the world of Martial Dao, cultivation indeed stands supreme above everything.

"Alright then, I'll be as careful as I can. If you feel you can't bear it, you must tell me immediately, and I will stop right away."

After Lu Ye's warning, he once again delved into Jiang Qingge's body, heading straight for the Dantian.

Soon after, Lu Ye very carefully divided a wisp of Source Qi as thin as a hair and cautiously moved it towards Jiang Qingge's Dantian...

Lu Ye was already prepared to withdraw the Source Qi immediately if Jiang Qingge cried out in pain.

But surprisingly...

Once that wisp of Source Qi entered Jiang Qingge's Dantian... it disappeared entirely without a trace!

Like a mud ox going into the sea, it vanished instantly.

The anticipated cries of pain from Jiang Qingge, unable to bear it, did not occur.

In that moment, Lu Ye understood, the mysterious stone sculpture, the person in the Emperor's Robe who rules the world... nine times out of ten, is really Jiang Qingge in front of him!

Only someone who seems to be an ordinary person who cannot cultivate yet hides the extraordinary within.

Can swallow a wisp of Grandmaster's Source Qi without feeling pain.

To be sure, Lu Ye still asked, "How do you feel?"

"Huh? Have you started?" Jiang Qingge seemed somewhat dazed and shook her head, "I don't feel anything."

"Alright, then I'll try slightly increasing the Source Qi, let me know immediately if you feel uncomfortable." Lu Ye nodded and followed with a slightly thicker stream of Source Qi rushing into Jiang Qingge's Dantian...

A minute later...

"Do you feel anything?"

"No..."

Five minutes later...

"No feeling..."

...

Twenty minutes later...

"Now, do you feel anything?"

"No... Lu Ye, is there something wrong with me?"

Lu Ye was also puzzled, he had never come across a case like Jiang Qingge's; he waved his hand, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll think some more..."

Looking at Lu Ye, who showed not even a hint of impatience, Jiang Qingge's heart filled with a bit of gratitude.

If it were someone else, being messed around like this for so long, they would probably have already become a little impatient, right?

"Senior, you should also have heard me just now; what's going on here? Logically, she shouldn't be able to endure so much of my Grandmaster's Source Qi."

Inside the box, the old man was silent for a moment before he finally spoke, "This situation only shows that the person who established this seal was much more powerful than you..."

At this moment, the old man was also full of questions; could this young grandmaster's claim... really be true?

But... how could it be? That one is the pinnacle existence of the Nine Nether Realm.

It's said that unless immortals emerge, she is the strongest existence in the world!

How could such an existence marry anyone?

The old man's sensing, although explored over many years, barely managed to detect some happenings externally.

But certainly couldn't discern the appearances of others.

Therefore, he didn't know what Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge looked like at all.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the old man pondered for a while and said, "As far as I know, a self-imposed seal like this can only be broken by continuously channeling energy towards the seal."

"When it reaches a sufficient level, the Sealing Power will naturally weaken and finally disappear."

Lu Ye, listening, subconsciously thought of a novel he had read in his past life called "Don't Bully the Poor Youth."

Isn't this just like Elder Yao in the ring?

Once it's full, it stops absorbing!

Disconnecting from the communication, Lu Ye looked at Jiang Qingge with a peculiar expression.

This woman is now a bottomless pit... how much energy would it take to fill her?

He had just poured nearly two-tenths of his Grandmaster's Source Qi into her, with absolutely no response.

Even a glutton doesn't swallow this much.

"Your situation is a bit complicated."

What Lu Ye was referring to was not that she still couldn't cultivate, but more that it's quite complex.

Jiang Qingge's mind worked quickly, and she immediately responded, asking, "Does that mean... I have a fragment of cultivation potential too?"

Lu Ye nodded.

If the seal were truly fully broken, she would have far more than just a sliver of cultivation potential.

Anyone capable of standing at the peak of a realm is an extraordinary talent who dazzles through the ages.

It's just...

Lu Ye was unsure if Jiang Qingge, finding her true self, would be on the side of righteousness or not.

Judging by her location, it's atop a vast dark sea, with an Other Shore Flower alongside...

A proper righteous figure wouldn't be like this.

If, in the future, he helped her break the seal by pouring energy continuously day and night, only to unleash a supreme demon, what then?

Though he is now among the top experts in the Northern Territory.

Who is this woman... she is a pinnacle figure ruling over a realm!

He can't contend with a fully unsealed Jiang Qingge either!

"You have concerns..."

Jiang Qingge's gaze fell on Lu Ye.

Seeing his slightly furrowed brow, she spoke softly.

"Don't worry yourself, it makes me uneasy... if it's daunting, let's just give up."
