Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Two Months Later! Peace? Price?

"But mastering so many of our sect’s martial arts, he can also be considered the Saint Heir of the Star Moon Tower,"

the elder murmured.

He turned around!

And walked towards the distance.

"What’s really worth congratulating is the Star Moon Tower, with the Chu Emperor’s outstretched hand being chopped off, it will undoubtedly prosper even more in the future."

Ji Lu spoke slowly.

The figure of the elder paused for a moment but then continued on, as if he hadn’t heard Ji Lu’s words.

As the Star Moon Tower team departed, the Beast Taming Sect, led by the Sect Leader, also walked towards the direction of the sect’s gate.

Unlike the disciples of the Star Moon Tower, who were reluctant, every member of the Beast Taming Sect wore a happy smile on their face.

For the Beast Taming Sect, the war was about to end.

After all, with the vow spreading throughout the entire world, the Star Moon Tower, no matter how shameless, would not go back on its word, would it?

Liang Hui, who returned to his sect first, sat cross-legged in his palace, recovering the Inner Strength he had expended.

At the same time, he contemplated the gains from this battle; undoubtedly, the greatest gain was the experiment with the Yin, Water Attribute fist techniques, his efforts over the past month had not been in vain.

Not only did he have an additional means of confronting enemies, but he was also ready to start perfecting the Black Tortoise Fist.

The next gain was understanding the path that Yao Yue wanted to take through the battle.

The moon is the Extreme Yin, and the Imperial Dragon Qi is undoubtedly the Extreme Yang.

The fusion of Yin and Yang, their combination, is undoubtedly a grand and righteous path.

And Yao Yue’s progress on this path could be considered satisfactory, but that was all.

Her ambition was too great; if she specialized in either Extreme Yin or Extreme Yang alone, relying on her abilities, she could have reached the Nine Turns of Bright Moon.

Though she would still fall short of the Ten Turns of Bright Moon.

It’s a pity that Liang Hui had already confirmed his path on the Martial Path; otherwise, he might well have taken the Yin-Yang Creation path.

As for the Taoist Child, his path was very simple and clear: the extreme of fire, the extreme of sharpness, nothing else beyond that.

Halting the thoughts in his mind, he ended the summary of this bout of fighting.

He stood up, walked slowly to the front door of his palace, and gazed down upon the ruined mountains.

His face, though, wore a smile; there should now be a period of peaceful cultivation ahead.

From then on.

In the mornings, Liang Hui practiced his Blood Refining Level cultivation, using his Inner Strength continuously to warm nurture his blood, enhancing his Qi-Blood.

He also worked on perfecting the Five Saints Fist.

At noon, he cultivated the Lifebound Level, drawing in the breath of heaven and earth, strengthening his Mana, and reinforcing his connection with his Life Origin Taoist Sword.

As for the evening cultivation, it was still focused on the Martial Path.

...

Two months flew by in a flash.

During these two months, the news of Liang Hui defeating the Star Moon Tower Saint Heir and the battle with the Great Chu imperial family spread far and wide.

He was even recognized as a peerless talent, comparable to the true top-tier saint heirs, saintesses, and divine maidens.

With this reputation, the Beast Taming Sect attracted quite a few genius disciples.

The mountains were picturesque, the palaces resplendent.

Liang Hui stood at the peak of the mountain, overlooking the restored mountains.

With two months passing without the threat of war, the sect’s gates had recovered to their pre-war state.

However, the progress of his cultivation during these two months had slowed down.

Blood Refining (14.35%)

Four days of cultivation, and the percentage only increased by about one.

The Taoist Child’s progress was even slower: Lifebound (11.25%).

This was still with adequate resources, and after ’dream-entering’ to refine blood and Qi Meridian Warriors multiple times, gaining a deeper understanding of the Blood Refining and Lifebound Realms, that he had made this progress.

To be honest, Liang Hui could understand such progress.

After all, the higher the level of cultivation, the slower the pace of progress, an unchangeable fact.

And Liang Hui only needed a little more than a year to transcend Blood Refining and begin Blood Exchange. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

With fist techniques, he had already perfected the Black Tortoise Fist and was also beginning to create the White Tiger Fist.

One could say that the true Five Saints Fist was already more than halfway mastered.

Suddenly, a gentle voice echoed by his ear.

Interrupting the young man’s deep thoughts.

"Taoist Child, come here for a moment."

Turning his gaze toward the mountain peak piercing the clouds not far away.

The next moment, he turned into a streak of flowing light, heading towards the peak.

In the ancient courtyard, Liang Hui pushed open the door and saw Ji Lu with his back to him.

"Sect Leader, what is it?"

His inquiry was direct.

Ji Lu didn’t reply immediately but turned around and took out an aged martial tome from his bosom and handed it over.

"This is the Earth Attribute Tiger Fist ’Earth-Stabilizing Tiger Fist’ you needed, found only after searching through the whole Tuzhou in a nearly extinct sect."

"It’s been troublesome, Sect Master."

A hint of joy flickered in Liang Hui’s eyes.

He took the old tome, feeling its special aura while flipping through the pages.

"The ’Earth-Stabilizing Tiger Fist’ can only be cultivated to the Marrow Refining Level."

"It’s a pity that in the entire Tuzhou, there is no more profound Earth Attribute Tiger Fist technique; otherwise, the sect would definitely procure it for you."

"For me, this is enough."

The youth chuckled lightly, closed the old tome, and tucked it into his bosom.

The White Tiger Fist would be completed.

He never intended to practice the common metal attribute White Tiger Fist techniques from the start.

The Earth Tiger rather involves the true power of the Five Saints Fist.

What Liang Hui didn’t expect was that the sect had managed to collect such an obscure technique in less than half a month.

More than one Qi Meridian Warrior must have been mobilized.

Ji Lu’s smile suddenly vanished, and he took slow steps toward the young man.

"Taoist Child, Zhou and Chu are about to hold peace talks."

"Great Zhou is preparing to send a delegation to enter Chu Nation to discuss details."

"There must be something about me, Sect Master; otherwise, the sect wouldn’t inform me of this."

Liang Hui rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, feeling its roughness, his expression placid.

Ji Lu nodded.

"Great Chu has specified that you must be part of this peace delegation, and Great Zhou has agreed to such a request."

"What does the sect think?"

The young man’s expression grew increasingly indifferent, his hand lifting from the sword hilt to rest in front of him.

"It’s nothing but a desire to take your head as a bargaining chip for negotiations; how could the sect agree to such a thing? Even if it means the entire sect perishes, we would not do so."

"The entire sect perishes?"

Liang Hui gazed intently at the middle-aged man before him, the Flowing Light Bell in his mind slightly trembling, ready to deliver a lethal blow.

It wasn’t excessive caution on his part; rather, since Zhou Nation had agreed to Chu Nation’s terms, they must be offering sufficient compensation to Beast Taming Sect to take his life.

Without knowing his true identity.

On one side was the sect’s revival and flourishing Taoist lineage; on the other was suppression and downfall.

Unrelated to personal feelings, the most rational decision wasn’t difficult to make under such circumstances.

"Agree to the Imperial Court," Liang Hui suddenly spoke up, his gaze fixed on Ji Lu, observing his reaction.

"Why? Taoist Child, do you not trust the sect?"

"Or do you think the sect is ungrateful and disloyal? Even during the battle two hundred years ago, when the sect was driven out of Qingzhou by the Heng Sect, we didn’t abandon a single disciple."

"Not to mention now; they want our sect to give up the Taoist Child. If the sect agreed, that would truly be cutting off all hope."

Ji Lu responded solemnly.

His words were full of sincerity.

"Agree to them,"

Liang Hui repeated, though this time, his hand that had been reaching forward was placed down.
