Chapter 599: Chapter 491: The Four Great Elders+Chapter 492: Transforming Void into Reality

Su Lianxue only felt a slight tremor in her body.

First to undergo change was her Sword Intent, which she had honed for sixteen years without inching any closer to Completion.

This Frost Blade Intent had grown sharper with time, but it had never reached Completion.

She didn’t know where the problem lay, but she was always stuck.

In the end, she could only attribute it to the limited Heaven and Earth’s Divine Opportunity and the fact that before the Spirit Tide had surged again, cultivation was truly difficult.

Without such thoughts, she would have been driven mad with frustration.

Fortunately, on the mountain, she was not the only one whose cultivation of Martial Intent had reached a bottleneck.

Those in the same situation numbered not ten, but certainly eight or nine.

All of them had no choice but to wait.

Wait for the Sect’s Qi Fortune to prosper and benefit everyone, or to wait for the surge of the Spirit Tide when relics and secret realms appeared in the world, hoping to grab a sliver of opportunity to break through the bottleneck.

In recent months, she had devoted herself to battling for advantages for the disciples below the mountain, Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu, harboring deep within her a faint and unrealistic hope.

However, that opportunity still seemed far from her grasp.

For the Qi Fortune acquired by her disciples to be strong enough to feed back to her, their master, unless they could dominate an entire Prefectural Governor’s territory, how could that be possible?

She never expected that the distant hope, barely beginning to take shape, was already bringing her tremendous benefits.

Frost Blade Intent suddenly broke through significant barriers, and it seemed she was looking upon a different world.

Her spiritual power soared boundlessly; she saw the clouds and water elements in the air combining in a way that she would have never understood before but now saw clearly, forming hexagram snowflakes.

That chilling sensation of freezing the world suddenly imprinted deep into her heart.

For some reason, it felt incredibly close and familiar, as if it were within arm’s reach.

The feeling was too shocking.

She even somewhat neglected the Sword Qi within her body, which had suddenly become more concentrated as if an inexplicable great force was filling the depths of her body, turning the originally faint and mist-like Sword Qi toward a tendency to condense into liquid.

"This..."

At that moment, Su Lianxue felt tears welling up in her eyes, the saying "To hear the Tao in the morning is to die content in the evening" resonating within her.

Only those who had been choked by a bottleneck to the brink of life and death could understand the sentiment in her heart.

She turned her head to look around.

She saw that beside herself, the other two who had been touched by the invisible ripples were different. Yu Changsheng was holding his head high with a triumphant air, while Lin Huaiyu remained calm as water, his expression unchanged.

However, she could faintly sense that the aura of both had strengthened considerably.

’Was I the only one who was clueless?’

Looking at the smile on Zhou Ping’an’s face, Su Lianxue found herself at a loss for words.

She mockingly shook her head, finally understanding Zhou Ping’an’s scheme and realizing that from the beginning to the end, he had never given up on competing for the Turing.

He wasn’t uncompetitive; he was like someone fishing, waiting patiently to see the waves arise.

"You’ve finally seen it clearly, haven’t you? It’s not that they, your Nephew Disciple Zhou and the others, need you, their master, to charge into battle; rather, it’s you, their master, who needed a helping hand."

Gu Qingqiu gazed at his wife with a soft look, chuckling and sighing.

His eyes were both envious and tinged with sorrow.

Although feeling jealous of his own wife was somewhat inappropriate, after all, being human, everyone experiences different emotions. Some feelings, however well controlled, can’t be completely eradicated. They were just Martial Cultivators and Taoists, not supreme beings beyond all emotions.

Sometimes, fools really do have foolish luck.

During this period, Gu Qingqiu, as the Law Enforcement Elder, while always supporting his wife and her efforts to gather allies on Emerald Peak, had also privately advised Su Lianxue not to go overboard.

Prefectural Governor Zhang Zhongshu of Huangze County, being a True Disciple with a powerful backing and the support of many Elders from the Inner Residence, was very likely to seek power over Yunzhou.

Offending all those Sect members now would mean, later on, when they rose in status, his own family might not gain any favors.

As an Elder of the Outer Peak, one does not necessarily have to be totally tactful, but leaving room for maneuver and retaining some measure of respect in one’s actions is not without its benefits.

Now, Gu Qingqiu felt that, in fact, all along he had been wrong, and what his wife, Su Lianxue, had done was the right approach.

Since the appearance of Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu, his Spirit Perception had already acutely sensed a dominant aura firmly pressing on his heart.

Whenever a negative thought arose, he felt as though there were thorns on his back.

It was enough to make one’s heart race.

If this feeling had only emerged in Zhou Ping’an, perhaps it could be understood.

There could even have been a misjudgment.

But the same sensation being present in both Yu Changsheng and Lin Huaiyu meant not even he could deceive himself any longer.

As the Outer Peak’s Law Enforcement Elder for thirty years, Gu Qingqiu, who had never had his position threatened, certainly had unique abilities.

His combat power might not exceed that of his peers in rank.

But his perceptiveness, Perception, and combat experience were unrivaled in the Cloud Water Sect.

He could detect details that others missed.

Thus, seeing the auras within Su Lianxue, Lin Huaiyu, and even Yu Changsheng, now stronger by a significant degree, he realized the futility of further thought beyond a sigh.

"Are you saying they both have secured their slots, because I, as their master, have been holding them back?"
