On his way down the mountain, Lu Yuan remained low-key and did not draw attention to his breakthrough to the Innate realm.
He was used to keeping a few hidden cards up his sleeve.
Now that he had broken through to the Innate realm, keeping this a secret could potentially draw in a big fish.
Just like last time, when Lan Cai’er tried to assassinate Lu Yuan, she was full of confidence.
However, due to outdated information, she didn’t know that Yan Wangqiu was by his side, and her assassination attempt failed.
As a result, the saintess herself was severely injured and had to retreat, which directly led to the massive defeat of the Poison Sect.
Having experienced this personally and even tasted the sweet fruit of the situation, Lu Yuan was eager to replicate such an occurrence.
His breakthrough to the Innate realm could be his new trump card, hidden from others.
“I’m curious to see if there will be any new big fish hooked in, coming to take the bait,” said Lu Yuan with a sneer, somewhat proud.
Watching his hidden cards accumulate more and more always brought satisfaction and joy, making it hard to resist feeling happy.
After breaking through to the Innate realm, Lu Yuan’s inner strength transformed into true pneuma, making his light body skill faster than before.
So, what used to be a half-day journey only took him a few hours to complete, walking hundreds of miles of mountain roads to return to the barracks.
When he returned to the camp, the sky was already bright.
After having breakfast, Lu Yuan asked for Yan Wangqiu to be called to him.
Just a little later, while Lu Yuan was drinking half a cup of tea, Old Lord Yan was already brought into the tent.
After meeting him, Yan Wangqiu’s heart couldn’t help but be shocked.
“General… General Lu has already broken through to the Innate realm?”
Yan Wangqiu stared wide-eyed, his face losing composure as he looked up and down at Lu Yuan, growing more astonished the more he looked.
Because with his keen vision and true intention perception, he could see that the South Conquering General in front of him had clearly achieved perfect pneuma and Martial Arts Xiantian.
Although he had expected Lu Yuan to break through to the Innate realm, it was much sooner than expected.
It had been just a few months since they had met and not even half a year ago, and now, Lu Yuan had already reached the Innate realm.
Yan Wangqiu couldn’t help but feel dazed by this realization.
Was it really that easy to break through to the Innate realm?
But if it was, why hadn’t his sect cultivated an Innate practitioner even after decades of hard work?
It must be because General Lu had an extraordinary innate talent that enabled him to break through to the Innate realm so quickly.
But why did this thought make his heart even more sour?
At this time, Lu Yuan smiled and said modestly, “I was fortunate enough to have some insights recently and managed to break through to the Innate realm last night. I apologize if my achievement seems laughable to you, Master.”
Yan Wangqiu couldn’t help but feel even more disgruntled as he forced a smile and congratulated, “General, with your Martial Arts reaching great success and breaking through to the Innate realm, you will become a Grandmaster in the future and dominate the world.”
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, “Not at all. I have only just reached the First Heaven realm. I still have no clue how to practice for the Second and Third Heaven realms. I’m far from dominating the world.”
The highest level of his Chi Yang Divine Skill mental technique could only reach the pinnacle of the first class.
The reason for his breakthrough to the Innate realm was the Immortal Spirit’s energy in the jade slip, his unusually powerful soul since his transmigration, the natural accumulation of attributes, and the Yuzhong Guo Family’s generations of research on the Innate realm…
Only with all of these conditions met could Lu Yuan smoothly break through to the Innate realm.
But the resources gathered by these conditions barely supplied enough for him to make the breakthrough, using up almost everything they had.
With no guidance or direction on how to proceed after reaching the Innate realm, Lu Yuan could only rely on his own comprehension and understanding.
However, how difficult would it be for him to comprehend the post-Innate realm techniques on his own?
Without any references, it would likely take him hundreds of years just to figure out where to start.
Lu Yuan understood this clearly.
Yan Wangqiu also knew the difficulty of this and said with bitter resignation, “It is indeed difficult to progress after reaching the Innate realm. Our sect has been researching for hundreds of years, but we are still stuck in the First Heaven realm, with little progress toward understanding the Second Heaven realm.
Not to mention the Grandmaster realm of the Third Heaven.”
There are actually quite a few Innate sects in the Jianghu world.
In Yue Country alone, there are as many as six in the Jianghu world.
But among these six, except for the Liuyang Sect, all of them only have the inheritance of the First Heaven realm.
Now, looking at the whole world and the Nine Provinces, there might be over a hundred Innate Grandmasters, but among them, only about ten people might be able to reach the Second Heaven realm.
But among these ten or so people, not a single one has reached the Third Heaven realm.
This is the reality, showing how difficult it is to break through to the Second and Third Heaven realms.
“It’s a well-known fact that the further you go in Martial Arts cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. So for me to break through to the Innate realm and have a 150-year lifespan, I’m already satisfied and won’t desire more,” said Lu Yuan, echoing Yan Wangqiu’s words.
After talking for a while, he changed the topic and continued, “However, there are many worldly achievements besides Martial Arts. Outside of Martial Arts, people pursue fame, fortune, and wealth as well.”
“Nowadays, the Court has established the Ten Grandmasters Plan, offering the incentive of splitting land and establishing fiefdoms to recruit people like us to serve them.”
