With Ye Qiu’s current mid-stage Cardinal cultivation, this thousand years of cultivation was like a small stream in the vast sea. It slowly flowed into Lin Qingzhu’s body. This small stream might be a little insignificant to Ye Qiu. However, it was a huge shock to her.

Lin Qingzhu’s face was pale and her body was trembling. Cold sweat slid down her forehead.

“Uhm…” With a soft cry, Lin Qingzhu suddenly began to exert strength and absorb this spiritual energy with all her might.

In an instant, her cultivation began to soar.

Second-grade Celestial realm.

Third-grade Celestial realm.

Fourth-grade Celestial realm.

Fifth-grade Celestial realm.

Sixth-grade Celestial realm.

Seventh-grade Celestial realm.

Eighth-grade Celestial realm.

“This…”

Lin Qingzhu was shocked by her own breakthrough to the eighth-grade Celestial realm.

According to her current cultivation speed, it would take her three years or even longer to reach this realm.

It was not impossible for her to break through to this realm in three years with her current talent and the help of her divine bones.

However, Ye Qiu’s cultivation allowed her to instantly complete three years of bitter cultivation.

“No! It’s not over yet…”

She did not stop immediately after her cultivation reached level eight. There was still a lot of lost spiritual energy in her body.

Lin Qingzhu didn’t dare to think too much. She went all out and activated the Mystical Ice Bone to absorb it. She would do her best not to lose too much of this cultivation.

After an unknown period of time, her cultivation finally entered level nine of the Celestial realm. She was infinitely close to the Infinite Distance realm.

This was already the limit!

Right now, she only needed to comprehend the profundities of the laws to directly enter the Infinite Distance realm.

Unfortunately, she did not have the opportunity like Liu Qingfeng, who had an epiphany.

Therefore, it would probably be very difficult to break through in a short period of time. However, she was already very satisfied with this result!

After imparting his cultivation, Ye Qiu slowly retracted his palm.

“Phew… Fortunately! This thousand years of cultivation sounds scary, but it’s not to the extent of falling a level.”

Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that there would be a lot of cultivation in the past thousand years. He only realized after passing it on that this was just the tip of the iceberg of his cultivation. It did not affect his cultivation at all.

Of course, this might be because of the system.

“Defend your origin and stabilize your Dao heart! Don’t act rashly. I just finished imparting my cultivation. I need some time to calm down to prevent my mental state from being damaged.” Ye Qiu instructed one last time before slowly standing up and walking to the side.

“Master…” Not far away, Zhao Wan’er carefully walked over. She looked at Lin Qingzhu on the ground and asked, “What’s wrong with Senior Sister?”

“You came at the right time. I still have something to deal with. Stay behind and protect your senior sister. Oh right! After your senior sister wakes up, arrange your own cultivation schedule. I’m going into seclusion for a few days.”

“Alright, Master, go ahead. I’ll be here.” Zhao Wan’er nodded obediently. Ye Qiu then turned around and left.

After watching Ye Qiu leave, Zhao Wan’er obediently sat beside Lin Qingzhu. She pursed her lips as she looked at her fair and flawless face.

“Senior Sister is really beautiful. If only I was a man. This crystal clear little face makes one want to kiss it.”

Zhao Wan’er flicked her hair and smiled evilly. The corner of Lin Qingzhu’s mouth twitched.

This wretched girl. If I wasn’t busy consolidating her cultivation, I really wanted to kick her butt. I treated you as a sister, yet you had ill intentions towards me.

At this moment, Ye Qiu had already returned to his room.

“System…”

[Ding…]

[You imparted a thousand years of cultivation to your disciple, triggering a Critical Hit Return.]

[Activate?]

“Activate.”

Ye Qiu revealed an evil smile. He had finally succeeded.

[Congratulations, you have triggered a hundred times critical strike and obtained a hundred thousand years of cultivation.]

“A hundred thousand years!!! Oh, good, good. Not bad, not bad…”

Ye Qiu was immediately amused. He could actually get so much wool from a sheep. He didn’t raise his disciple for nothing.

A few days ago, his cultivation had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Cardinal realm. He should be able to at least break through to the late-stage of the Cardinal realm with this hundred thousand years of cultivation, right?

Ye Qiu didn’t dare to think about breaking through to the Paragon realm for the time being. This was because his mental state hadn’t reached that stage yet. If he advanced too quickly, there would be problems with his foundation.

“Come on, I’m good! Destroy me to your heart’s content.” Ye Qiu smiled evilly and sat cross-legged on the bed. He was already prepared to be poured with energy.

In an instant, a torrent of energy from the system rushed into Ye Qiu’s body like a ferocious beast.

“F*ck!”

Even though he was already mentally prepared, this sudden impact really made Ye Qiu cry out in pain.

This hundred thousand years of cultivation was no small matter. In the blink of an eye, it filled all the meridians in Ye Qiu’s body. His blood vessels expanded, and his skin was steaming like a thousand ants crawling in his body.

“Suppress…”

Ye Qiu’s body emitted golden light. It was the True Dragon Bone Rune. This power was gradually suppressed with the help of the powerful golden light. Ye Qiu began to crazily absorb it.

In the next few days, Ye Qiu stayed in his room to absorb cultivation.

Finally, on the third day…

“Phew…” He let out a long sigh of relief. A golden light flashed and a terrifying aura spread out from his room.

That aura was the aura of a late-stage Cardinal. He was only a step away from entering the legendary Paragon realm. When Ye Qiu’s mental state caught up, he would be able to reach his peak state and his cultivation would catch up to Meng Tianzheng.

He needed to spend more time comprehending the Dao and forming his second Dao Flower for the Paragon realm.

Of course, it was not impossible to take a shortcut! However, he needed the help of some natural treasures. For example, immortal-grade medicinal pills, immortal herbs, immortal medicines, and so on.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t have such a treasure, so he could only temporarily give up on charging to the Paragon realm.

Although it was a pity, Ye Qiu was already very satisfied that he could break through to the late-stage of the Cardinal realm in such a short period of time.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and the immortal aura was even more obvious. There was a huge increase in terms of temperament. His charm and looks had already reached full marks.

He was finally acknowledged by the system.

“Ah… How comfortable.”

After a few days of seclusion, Ye Qiu stretched his back and his bones let out a strange sound. He pushed open the door. The scenery outside was beautiful.

The training hall on the north mountain had gradually taken shape. Xiao Yi had been supervising it for the past few days and was quickly repairing the training hall for Ye Qiu.

The Xiao Clan was also willing to spend a lot of money. They didn’t care how much money it was. They would do their best to satisfy Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was very gratified. He had the Xiao Clan under his protection.

In the past, Ye Qiu didn’t dare to casually say which family he would protect, but now, he had the strength.

It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Paragon realm. It was not a problem to protect a small Xiao Clan.

After all, there were a lot of benefits to be gained.

The heads of the other factions had countless families under them. Most of their disciples came from various families and had close connections.

Therefore, they never lacked money or resources.

The Violet Cloud Peak, on the other hand, was in dire straits. It was poor and the mountaintop was bare.

Ye Qiu had to interact with mortal families for the future of Violet Cloud Peak. This Xiao Clan would be his first test subject.
