The ninth level of the fourth-tier Spirit Origin Realm and the fifth-tier Heaven Origin Realm are only one level apart, but this one level is the dividing line between mediocrity and excellence.
There are many Cultivators in the fourth-tier Spirit Origin Realm in the world, which can only be described as good, but entering the fifth-tier Heaven Origin Realm is different. Cultivators at the fifth-tier Heaven Origin Realm are the backbone of any force. For example, in Qingyun Sect, several important figures in power are all at the fifth-tier Heaven Origin Realm.
Although Qin Chu was anxious, he still stabilized his emotions. The last level of each tier is not only an improvement but also a precipitation. Only with good precipitation can he successfully Breakthrough.
Qian Lingwu stayed at Vermilion Bird Mountain Villa. After resting for a night, she came to the courtyard where Qin Chu lived and accompanied him in practicing combat skills.
With a sixth-tier King Realm Cultivator accompanying him, Qin Chu made great progress, and his swordsmanship continued to improve.
Qian Lingwu accompanied Qin Chu to practice swordsmanship during the day and Cultivated Origin Qi at night, in addition to comprehending Spear Intent.
In the past, Qian Lingwu's Spear Intent was at level five, which she Cultivated entirely on her own, with profound mastery. Half a month after obtaining the Spear Intent Grass, her Spear Intent broke through to the Realm of level six Spear Intent.
This situation shocked Qin Longhan and Qin Lingxi. It is not easy to Cultivate a level six Concept, which shows that Qian Lingwu's talent is very good.
After her Spear Intent broke through to level six, Qian Lingwu reported the good news to Qin Chu, then went into seclusion to consolidate her Spear Intent and continue to deepen its mastery.
Qin Chu practiced his sword every day and accumulated his cultivation. On this day, Qin Lingxi came to the courtyard.
“Nephew, another woman has come looking for you. What’s going on with you now?” Qin Lingxi asked Qin Chu.
Sheathing his sword, Qin Chu looked at Qin Lingxi, “Aunt, why do you say that?” He was truly a bit confused.
“The woman who entered Heavenly Sword Mountain with you has arrived near Vermilion Bird Holy Land and set up camp there. What does she mean by this? She means to tell us that she has arrived.” Qin Lingxi said to Qin Chu.
“Shang Shuyu…” Qin Chu was stunned for a moment. Didn't Shang Shuyu return to her Family to resolve her marriage? Why did she come to Vermilion Bird Holy Land? Could it be that the engagement was not successfully resolved, and she ran to the area governed by the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan for refuge?
Qin Chu felt that he must get involved. It is rare to find a friend in life, especially a friend with whom he has shared life and death.
Qin Lingxi waited for Qin Chu's reply. Originally, she thought that Qin Chu finding a girl he liked, getting married and having children, and continuing the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan's Bloodline would be enough. But now it seemed that it was not the case, and the problem was a bit troublesome. What would these two girls say when they met?
“Aunt, where is Shang Shuyu? Since she has come to the area governed by our Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, she must have encountered a problem. She promised that she would never reveal any of my secrets.” Qin Chu said to Qin Lingxi, knowing that Qin Lingxi was quite averse to such matters.
“You go and pick her up, just be careful.” Qin Lingxi said.
Watching Qin Chu leave, Qin Lingxi stood in place and pondered for a while. She felt that her nephew was good in every aspect, but his only weakness was that he trusted people too easily. Treating people with sincerity is a virtue, but it is also a soft spot that can easily be attacked. She felt that when she had time, she should talk to Qin Chu. As for now, the situation was still within her control. It would be best if Qian Lingwu and Shang Shuyu didn't harm Qin Chu, but even if they did, she had a solution.
Seeing Shang Shuyu's figure, Qin Chu greeted her happily.
“Qin Chu, you’ve come! I knew you would come to see me!” Seeing Qin Chu, Shang Shuyu was beaming with excitement. Qin Chu’s arrival meant that he valued their relationship, and even in extraordinary times, he did not avoid her.
“How could I not see you? Is it that the engagement didn't go smoothly, and you ran away from marriage again? Don't worry, I'll take care of you and make sure you don't get caught and dragged back!” Qin Chu said, patting his chest.
“Then I thank you.” Shang Shuyu said with a smile. She was truly happy to see Qin Chu.
Looking at the somewhat naive Qin Chu, Granny Yu cursed him as a pig, and a very stupid pig at that. Why didn't he think more about some things? However, she thought this was a good thing, as she could get to know Qin Chu more closely. But the current problem was that she couldn't get close to the strong practitioners of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, as that would easily expose her identity. Since Shang Shuyu was concealing her identity, she naturally couldn't expose hers.
As they moved forward, Granny Yu transmitted a Soul message, telling Shang Shuyu that she couldn't expose herself, otherwise everything would be clear and impossible to hide.
After walking a distance with Qin Chu, Shang Shuyu pointed to a mountain hollow, “The scenery there is nice. Granny Yu, go there and prepare some bamboo. I’ll confirm Qin Chu’s residence and then come back, and then we’ll build a bamboo house.”
Granny Yu nodded, thinking Shang Shuyu's idea was good.
Qin Chu continued on his way with Shang Shuyu, “It’s good for you to live separately. You are of the Azure Dragon Holy Clan, and I am of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan. Currently, the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan is engaged in an external war, and if you are discovered to be involved with the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, it could easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.”
“I'm sorry!” Shang Shuyu felt a little guilty. She was hiding something from Qin Chu, yet Qin Chu was considering her in every way.
“Why are you saying this to me? It's too formal!” Qin Chu said with a smile.
After taking Shang Shuyu to his courtyard, Qin Chu also instructed the guards on duty not to intercept Shang Shuyu if she came over in the future.
“Your living place is quite nice!” Shang Shuyu said after looking at the courtyard where Qin Chu lived.
“It's alright! My aunt arranged it for me. This is due to the distinction between men and women, otherwise, you could move in.” Qin Chu said.
Shang Shuyu's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Chu, “Did we care about the distinction between men and women when we shared life and death in Heavenly Sword Mountain? I can't leave Granny Yu alone, otherwise, I would definitely move in.”
Qin Chu nodded, “You have a point, I overthought it.”
“On the way here, I bought you a few sets of robes. I know you wear out robes the most, so I bought your most accustomed hemp robes.” Shang Shuyu took out a storage bracelet and handed it to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu smiled and took it, knowing there was no need to be polite.
Then Qin Chu invited Shang Shuyu to sit down, and the two casually talked about their situations after separating. Shang Shuyu avoided some topics; there were some things she could choose not to say, but she absolutely could not say anything to deceive Qin Chu.
“I’m currently at the fourth-tier Peak and will soon enter the fifth-tier. Do you know what cultivation that Shang Tang is at now? That Prince Hu Shang Tang.” Qin Chu asked, looking at Shang Shuyu.
“He has long been a fifth-tier Heaven Origin Realm Cultivator. There is an age gap between you two, and your Cultivation times are different. It’s unwise for you to confront him head-on.” Shang Shuyu said, looking at Qin Chu.
“Then I’ll Cultivate first. If he doesn’t take me seriously, I’ll kill him first, and then go to your Azure Dragon Clan to settle things.” Qin Chu said.
“It doesn’t seem that easy to settle. Maybe when you meet our Azure Dragon Clan’s little princess, you won’t want to break off the engagement anymore!” Shang Shuyu said.
Qin Chu smiled, “That’s absolutely impossible!”
