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

Chapter 533 - 531: Jiang Qingge’s Second Origin! Advancing to Mortal Realm Eighth Layer, Jiang Qingge: This Is How It Should Be Between Husband and Wife

"That mountain that’s been causing such a ruckus for the past half month... has finally calmed down!"

"Could there really be some kind of Great Demon in there?"

As Lu Ye left, some of the hunters who relied on prey from the mountain for their livelihoods began discussing among themselves.

On the other side.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye had left dozens of miles behind, entering the territory of Yuan Province in less than half a day’s time.

Nowadays, the name of Lu Yan from Qing Province had already spread over here within half a month.

After all, that name represented... slaying an Earth Realm Ninth Layer!

However, as the name spread more widely, someone noticed something unusual.

Why does the absolute powerhouse newly emerging from Qing Province, reputed to be able to slay an Earth Realm Ninth Layer, have a name seemingly identical to the first on our Yuan Province’s stone tablet?!

The Yuan Family.

"You’re telling me, the legendary monster from Qing Province is also called Lu Yan?! Are they really the same person?!" The patriarch of the Yuan Family, sitting in the hall, felt a jolt at this report from his subordinate.

Although the Yuan Family claimed to be a Grandmaster Clan, the Mortal Realm and Earth Realm...

are not even comparable concepts; the gap is too vast!

Originally, they thought Lu Yan leaving behind a legend in Yuan Province—rumored to have slain the ancient snake race’s She Tianjun—was already remarkable enough.

Little did they expect, when he went to Qing Province, he stirred up even more significant events.

She Tianjun of the Earth Realm Seventh Layer and the Earth Realm Ninth Layer, the overt top person in Qing Province, are not even on the same level.

"To think he’s this powerful... fortunately, when he came to our Yuan Family, he didn’t get angry..."

Thinking of this, the Yuan Family’s patriarch was filled with dread.

...

Crossing Yuan Province, Lu Ye spent about a day.

Continual high-speed flight consumed a terrifying amount of Source Qi.

However, he had plenty of Recovery Elixirs in hand, and after reaching the Seventh Layer, his endurance had also improved significantly. After swallowing two Recovery Elixirs, Lu Ye continued his journey.

Finally, by the night of the second day, he crossed Yuan Province and returned to the Northern Territory of Xuanzhou.

"Still, the thin Heaven and Earth Source Qi of the Northern Territory tastes familiar."

Taking a sip of the pathetic Source Qi in the Northern Territory, Lu Ye showed a slight smile.

With the resources he had now, a little less external energy didn’t really matter.

Thinking about it, without notifying Jiang Qingge in advance, Lu Ye headed directly toward the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Shortly after, he arrived deep within the mountain range and reached the front of the illusion array he had set up. Lu Ye took out the Jade Token, which immediately revealed a passage.

Upon entering, the scene inside was still familiar, but he did not see the figures of the two sisters for the time being.

"Did that girl Lingyue return to the Sect?"

Suddenly, Lu Ye’s mind stirred, and he sensed something amiss within a wooden house not far away...

It was Jiang Qingge.

Instantly moving over, Lu Ye opened the door to the training room and saw Jiang Qingge sitting cross-legged on the training platform, her aura extremely unstable.

Her complexion was also somewhat pale.

"Is she in the midst of a breakthrough? But it also seems like she’s merging something..."

Seeing this, Lu Ye didn’t dare to speak out rashly, and this thought crossed his mind as he stood quietly inside the room.

Though Jiang Qingge’s current situation appeared somewhat unstable, it was still within a controllable range, so Lu Ye didn’t intervene recklessly.

Suddenly, Lu Ye remembered.

"The aura on her body is somewhat akin to the feeling she had when taking her to the Black Forest Swamp previously, merging with a Power of Origin?"

Thinking of this, Lu Ye was a bit surprised, wondering where did she get her second Power of Origin?

With doubts in his heart, Lu Ye stood there, waiting for a full half an hour until Jiang Qingge’s aura stabilized.

A moment later, Jiang Qingge opened her eyes. Previously wholly immersed in her breakthrough, she had no energy to sense the external commotion.

After all, knowing that there were dual arrays set by Lu Ye outside, and without enough knowledge of Array Dao, even those highly skilled couldn’t possibly get in.

So, upon opening her eyes and seeing someone silently in the room, Jiang Qingge reflexively got startled, showing a wary posture.

But before she asked who the person was, she realized Lu Ye had taken off his Lu Yan mask.

"Husband!"

Jiang Qingge joyfully jumped down from the training platform, went straight to Lu Ye, and glanced at him.

"Husband, you look a bit unwell; have you been too exhausted from traveling outside?"

Speaking of which, Jiang Qingge, feeling a bit distressed, directly kissed Lu Ye.

Instinctively, Lu Ye reached out to stop her.

"Don’t stop me. You said we couldn’t be truly intimate; I listened to you, but isn’t kissing something we should do as husband and wife?"

Jiang Qingge looked into Lu Ye’s eyes and spoke softly.

Lu Ye: "..."

In the next moment, Lu Ye’s blocking hand was naturally brushed aside by Jiang Qingge, and they continued what they hadn’t finished before...

After a long while, only then did an involuntarily breathless Jiang Qingge pull away.

"Have you been back for long?" Having gone through such experiences several times, Jiang Qingge was less shy now, staring at Lu Ye and asked.

"Not too long, about half an hour. I seem to see you are merging with the Power of Origin mentioned previously?"

Shaking his head, Lu Ye said.

Sensing Jiang Qingge’s current Realm, Lu Ye was even more certain of this guess.

Right now, she was clearly already at Mortal Realm Grandmaster Eighth Layer!

Already just two steps away from being truly at Earth Realm.

At this speed, if it were normal cultivation, it would surprise everyone in Xuanzhou.

If Xiao Qingyin knew... she probably would not sleep well for half a month, although she doesn’t need it.

"Yes, it’s indeed the Power of Origin." Upon bringing up this topic, Jiang Qingge looked somewhat surprised and said, "I don’t even know how this Power of Origin came about."

"Yesterday, I just wanted to go out and find some wild fruits and Spiritual Birds, store them so that if we need them, we can just take them out and use them directly."

"Unexpectedly, when I had just gone not far, a black light suddenly flew towards me quickly from the outside."

Jiang Qingge, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "I wanted to dodge, but I found it was too late. When the black light rushed into my body, I realized."

"It seemed to be similar to the Power of Origin I absorbed in the Black Forest Swamp before."

Lu Ye: "..."

This was truly unexpected.

Could it be that her four Powers of Origin, as long as the first is found, the subsequent ones for some reason...

like being equipped with tracking techniques, would automatically follow??
