Three days is merely a blink of an eye for those in cultivation, rarely enough for any significant breakthroughs.
But the System exists to break such common sense.
Since the last usage of a wave of experience, under the relentless effort of players, Liang Yi’s experience has reached a new high.
After the path of cultivation was renewed, throughout this year when a new era had fully unfolded, countless Cultivators made rapid progress. Thus, although Liang Yi’s speed of cultivation was terrifying, with a Banished Immortal as a mentor and a genius female disciple drawing attention, few found it unreasonable.
Yet this day, Liang Yi and Su Youyi once again refreshed Zhou Yuzhi’s understanding of cultivation.
As everyone knows, the path of cultivation of Taoist Sect siblings has never been ordinary. One has been pushing the age limits of every Realm since the beginning of their cultivation, while the other never cultivates step by step; instead, leaping four or five levels at a time.
In the beginning, some people wanted to understand the mysteries behind it, but soon everyone realized that Liang Yi’s cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking.
At this moment, Zhou Yuzhi stood in the Void above the two cave mansions, looking down and frowning at the two people inside.
One seemed to have rushed from the mid-Fourth Realm straight to the Fifth Realm, while the other had broken from the late Fifth Realm into the Sixth Realm, even passing a Heart Inquiry.
Thinking of their ages, especially the duration of Liang Yi’s cultivation, Zhou Yuzhi couldn’t help but sigh and pat his head; were they even human?
He had been a bit worried about Su Youyi’s Heart Inquiry, but after sensing the emotional fluctuations of the girl in the cave mansion, he completely put his mind at ease; there was nothing to worry about.
Heart Inquiry is merely an anchor on the path of cultivation, meant to keep one’s heart on the right path. Su Youyi’s path of cultivation has never deviated, and the most likely deviation was when she learned of her senior brother’s death, but that too was eventually corrected by her senior brother.
For Su Youyi, the purpose of her cultivation has never changed. Whether it’s the meaning of life or the purpose of cultivation, it’s all for her senior brother.
With the sword in her hand, protect the senior brother’s safety!
The invisible barriers blocking Su Youyi’s advancement quietly shattered, her aura rapidly rising, reaching the early Sixth Realm in just a few breaths.
Even because of Endless Dao, this time Su Youyi even triggered Daoist Enlightenment.
Outside the cave mansion, Old Mr. Orange licked his fur; Daoist Enlightenment had nothing to do with him!
Su Youyi felt a bit of joy, which was a good opportunity to re-examine her recent comprehensions of Sword Dao, checking for defects, and tightly connecting it with what she had learned, thus paving her own unique path in Sword Dao in the near future.
Compared to Su Youyi, Liang Yi’s breakthrough could only be described as calm and undisturbed, making Zhou Yuzhi slightly believe the rumors that Taoist Sect Liang Yi’s breakthroughs were as simple as eating and drinking.
Eating and drinking, isn’t that just a matter of hand-waving?
At level 50, the panel was still showing a considerable growth in attributes, and due to the abundance of experience, Liang Yi also took the opportunity to upgrade all skills besides his Cultivation Technique.
In just three short days, perhaps only he could make such a dramatic leap in combat strength?
Originally, that’s what Liang Yi thought, until he exited seclusion and saw his junior sister who had also just emerged.
"Junior sister, you’ve broken through to the Sixth Realm?" Liang Yi blinked, wondering who exactly was the one exploiting a loophole.
"Sure, the Heart Inquiry isn’t too difficult; it’s just that breaking through requires a strong foundation." Su Youyi, holding her somewhat balding senior brother, recounted her own breakthrough experience in detail.
"You saying this is going to infuriate countless people." Liang Yi chuckled bitterly and lightly tapped Su Youyi’s forehead, accepting his junior sister’s good intentions.
"Just telling the truth." Su Youyi covered her forehead, pitifully stroked Grandpa Orange’s head.
"Ha ha, neither of you should talk about the other." A clear, soft voice came down from the sky; Zhou Yuzhi laughed as he slowly landed next to Liang Yi.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough!"
"Sword Master, you’re too modest. It was just a bit of luck." Liang Yi waved it off, indicating that his breakthrough wasn’t that difficult.
"Mm-hmm." Su Youyi on the side also nodded obediently, appearing to share her senior brother’s viewpoint.
"You two don’t need to be so modest; your cultivation speed is even faster than Chen Hua’s back in the day." Zhou Yuzhi recalled how the once proud Chen Hua had boasted that no one would surpass his cultivation speed for another thousand years.
It’s only been a few years, and his two disciples have thoroughly proven him wrong.
"Where is the Teacher’s wife? And Elder Zhou Yuqing?" Liang Yi looked around but did not see the Teacher’s wife.
"She is treating our third sister, almost reaching the final stage now." Zhou Yu nodded to a nearby cave mansion, explaining to Liang Yi.
"I can feel the Extreme Cold Law weakening; the treatment must be done now, meow." Grandpa Orange is quite sensitive to such Laws.
"Let’s go and see." Zhou Yuzhi also sensed Zhou Yuqing’s gradually reviving energy, indeed it seemed the treatment was successful.
"Teacher’s wife!" Upon entering the cave mansion, Liang Yi cried out, and from afar, he saw Zhou Ruanxian supporting Zhou Yuqing as she slowly stood up from the bed.
"Third sister!" Zhou Yuzhi took a step forward; he hadn’t been this nervous in thousands of years. For more chapters visit novᴇlfire.net
"You are... Zhou Yu?!" Zhou Yuqing’s mind was still a bit chaotic, with a flood of memories surging in after the seal was removed, making it hard for her to distinguish things.
Now, seeing Zhou Yuzhi, a lot of memories from their childhood together rushed back.
"Third sister, you finally restored your memories." Zhou Yuzhi, not maintaining the dignity of a sect leader, was always the young boy with a wooden sword in front of his elder sisters.
"Big sister! I’m sorry!" As Zhou Yuqing’s memories became more complete, she finally understood everything that had happened over the years. Especially knowing that her big sister, after her death, almost fell into madness, and how she had to separate herself from her beloved for many years due to guilt and to suppress her inner demons.
On these thoughts, Zhou Yuqing felt a twinge in her nose, and involuntarily hugged Zhou Ruanxian, tears sliding down her cheeks.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry. Such a grown person and still such a crybaby." Zhou Ruanxian’s lips carried a helpless smile, her hand continuously patting Zhou Yuqing’s back gently, just as countless years ago when they lived in that small courtyard.
Besides the sobs of Zhou Yuqing, there was no other sound in the cave mansion, Zhou Yuzhi also watched his sisters with a satisfied gaze.
Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Grandpa Orange, without words, marveled at the dedication of Zhou their senior and the Teacher’s wife.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest [Chen Hua’s Dilemma]!"
"Congratulations on receiving the quest rewards: experience 10,000,000, Zhou family siblings’ affection +1000, mastery of Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique!"
