Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 433 - 248: Qingyun True Monarch’s Astonishment

When Zhao Ming arrived at Qingyun True Monarch’s seclusion area, he immediately activated the array and stood silently, waiting patiently.

He did not dare to interrupt forcefully.

Once the array was triggered, as long as Qingyun True Monarch had some free time and wasn’t completely isolated, he would surely notice Zhao Ming’s arrival.

As for when Qingyun True Monarch would come out, that depended on his circumstances.

Sometimes, even if Qingyun True Monarch knew Zhao Ming was waiting, he might not come out immediately if he had something particularly important at hand, making Zhao Ming wait outside.

However, under normal circumstances, the wait would not be too long because Qingyun True Monarch, upon seeing Zhao Ming’s visit, knew that something significant must have happened and wouldn’t delay too much.

During Zhao Ming’s wait, only a quarter of an hour passed before the door of the Cave Mansion slowly opened, revealing Qingyun True Monarch’s figure.

"Zhao Ming greets the Supreme Elder." Zhao Ming quickly bowed.

Qingyun True Monarch waved his hand to dispel the array, looked at Zhao Ming, and slowly said, "I have already received your message. I was planning to see Qi Chuan tomorrow. Is there something you need by coming in person?"

Earlier, he received Zhao Ming’s message, saying only that Qi Chuan requested to see him. He assumed it was due to some cultivation issues, and since such matters weren’t urgent, he planned to see Qi Chuan the next day.

In fact, with his status as True Monarch, arranging to see Qi Chuan the day after his request showed significant consideration.

Normally, others would have to wait a long time to see him.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, it is indeed regarding Qi Chuan." Zhao Ming said.

"Qi Chuan? His matters have not reached the point where you would need to meet me personally, right? Could it be that he is about to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm?" Qingyun True Monarch asked with a slight frown.

If Qi Chuan had some cultivation issues, he was naturally willing to offer help.

However, that would be when he was available.

Having the Sect Leader urging him for such a matter was excessive.

Unless, as Zhao Ming suggested, Qi Chuan was about to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, which would be reasonable, but Qingyun expected Qi Chuan wouldn’t be so quick, and he couldn’t think of another reason, causing him a slight displeasure.

However, he knew that the Sect Leader and Qi Chuan were not reckless people, and there must be a reason, so he was willing to listen to the reasons.

"The Supreme Elder is indeed insightful, you have hit the mark. It is because Junior Brother Qi Chuan is preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm and would like to request a High Tier Spirit Vein Land from the Supreme Elder to help him break through." Zhao Ming said, looking at Qingyun True Monarch with admiration.

"Ha? Is it really about this?" Qingyun True Monarch asked, looking extremely surprised at Zhao Ming.

This was indeed beyond his expectation; Qi Chuan could reach the stage of attempting a breakthrough so swiftly?

However, his first reaction was not too much of a surprise.

To challenge the bottleneck to Nascent Soul isn’t uncommon starting from the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage.

Though Qi Chuan reaching the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage so quickly was unexpected and showed his extraordinary talent.

But if he believes reaching the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage allows a blind attempt to break through to Nascent Soul, that would be a big mistake.

There are many preparations needed, otherwise, failure could lead to regret.

"Take me to see Qi Chuan, I must check his cultivation progress." Qingyun True Monarch said.

Since Zhao Ming had come personally, and it involved Qi Chuan’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he decided to treat it seriously.

However, he intended to first examine Qi Chuan’s cultivation progress.

If it was not yet the best time for a breakthrough, he would advise Qi Chuan to wait, harmonize further, and prepare adequately. Discussions about breakthrough and High Tier Spirit Vein Land are best reserved for the optimal time.

"Yes." Zhao Ming naturally obeyed.

He then transformed into an escape light, heading towards the Myriad Flowers Hall.

Qingyun True Monarch also became a rainbow light following him.

The two soon arrived at the Myriad Flowers Hall, descending in the Palace Square and then entering the hall.

Qi Chuan was waiting inside the Myriad Flowers Hall. Upon seeing the Sect Leader and Qingyun True Monarch arrive, he naturally stood up and bowed, "Qi Chuan greets the Supreme Elder and Sect Leader."

Zhao Ming followed two steps behind Qingyun True Monarch, nodding slightly towards Qi Chuan.

Qingyun True Monarch’s gaze immediately fell upon Qi Chuan, scanning him up and down, before nodding, "Not bad, you have indeed reached the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage. Qi Chuan, are you planning to begin breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"Yes, Supreme Elder previously granted me a High Tier Spirit Vein Land. Now the time for breakthrough has arrived, so I took the liberty to seek an audience with you." Qi Chuan replied.

Qingyun True Monarch stood with hands behind his back, shaking his head, "But do you know that reaching the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage is just the baseline, and much preparation is needed beyond that, otherwise, failure can be easy."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan respectfully said, "Supreme Elder, I am not reckless, and naturally understand this principle. Actually, four or five years ago, my mana reached the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage. In these years, I have been preparing for the subsequent breakthrough, and now feeling adequately ready, I have the thought of advancing."

"Hmm? You reached the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage four or five years ago?" Qingyun True Monarch looked at Qi Chuan with some surprise. This timeline was shorter than he had expected and caught him off guard.
