Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 541 - 539: A Treasure That Increases the Chance to Break Through to Celestial Being! Lu Ye’s First Introduction—Is This His Wife?

The structure of the Lingyao Celestial Palace is unlike that of traditional sects where people address each other as senior and junior brothers.

Thus, everyone in the palace addresses one another as Fellow Daoist.

Hearing Sang Xiyao’s words, the others from the Lingyao Celestial Palace also looked over curiously...

Fellow Daoist Chen... that should naturally be that Chen Beixuan who rose up in the Northern Territory, and now already bears great fame, right?

Looking at him like this, he really is young.

As for the woman beside him... many people, after sensing her, were immediately shocked as well; Jiang Qingge’s aura was clearly also at the Mortal Grandmaster Late Stage level!

With such a realm, even among the members of the Lingyao Celestial Palace who had come here, she could be ranked at the forefront.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists." Lu Ye cupped his fists toward the crowd in greeting.

As for Jiang Qingge, he did not deliberately introduce her, but many people could probably guess that there must be some sort of relationship between the two.

"Right, Xiyao Fairy, what exactly was that matter you mentioned before?" Lu Ye asked curiously.

Now that everyone was here, Sang Xiyao naturally did not continue to keep them in suspense and said, "Do you know... the Mist Heaven Hall?"

Mist Heaven Hall?

Lu Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head.

His time at the Red Cloud Sect had also been when he read the most, but in the Red Cloud Sect’s Library Pavilion, there simply hadn’t been such high-level information before.

Jiang Qingge, who stood to the side, also looked over in curiosity.

She was only in her early twenties; the last time the Mist Heaven Hall opened, Jiang Qingge had only been a few years old and had not cared about such matters at all.

So Jiang Qingge had no impression of this pinnacle place of the Northern Territory.

"Have you felt that, in the Northern Territory lately, quite a few unfamiliar faces have appeared, and in terms of strength, they are far stronger than the original natives of the Northern Territory?"

"That is because a wondrous place is about to emerge within the Northern Territory! It is called the Mist Heaven Hall! As long as one has not reached that terrifying Celestial Human Realm, all can enter it."

"The Mist Heaven Hall is the very pinnacle of opportunities in the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory... is actually not as simple as it appears on the surface." Sang Xiyao said gravely. "The fact that the Mist Heaven Hall can appear here and has not changed its location for ten thousand years already explains a few things."

After listening to Sang Xiyao’s words, Lu Ye’s expression also became somewhat solemn.

Mist Heaven Hall...

These past few days, ever since returning to the Northern Territory, things had indeed been just as Sang Xiyao said. Along the way, the number of people he encountered whose realms seemed to be above the Innate Realm was indeed higher than usual.

Previously, Lu Ye had not paid it much mind, since most of those he encountered still had a cultivation lower than his.

Now, after hearing Sang Xiyao’s explanation, things became clearer—turns out they weren’t people of the Northern Territory.

"I see. I did indeed run into quite a few people who seemed very strong." Lu Ye nodded and asked, "You all came to take part in the Mist Heaven Hall as well?"

Sang Xiyao and the others all smiled and nodded.

Although Lu Ye had only joined not long ago, he and Sang Xiyao were both Silver Envoys, and their status was not low.

"All right, now that we’ve arrived in the Northern Territory, and the Mist Heaven Hall has not yet opened, everyone can move about freely for a while. When the Mist Heaven Hall appears, just gather at the place where it manifests." A moment later, Sang Xiyao spoke to the dozen or so people of the Celestial Palace.

The arrangements before the last opening of the Mist Heaven Hall had been the same.

The others nodded and did not linger here; they left one after another.

Sang Xiyao, however, did not leave. After the others had all gone, she smiled and said, "I have nowhere else to go. Fellow Daoist Chen, this Fellow Daoist Chen’s Dao companion, you don’t mind me disturbing you for a while, do you?"

Hearing the words "Fellow Daoist Chen’s Dao companion," Jiang Qingge’s face clearly flushed. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "You’re not disturbing us."

At that, Lu Ye said, "Xiyao Fairy, don’t scare her."

Hearing this, Sang Xiyao laughed. "I couldn’t tell; Fellow Daoist Lu Ye actually knows how to look after people."

When Sang Xiyao suddenly called out Lu Ye’s name, Jiang Qingge’s face reddened further, and she was a little confused. This woman from the Celestial Palace knew Lu Ye’s real name?

Lu Ye could see the doubt in Jiang Qingge’s eyes and said, "Xiyao Fairy is my friend. She knows my identity."

Then, pointing at Jiang Qingge, he introduced, "And this is the one I mentioned to Xiyao Fairy before—my... wife, Jiang Qingge."

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Lu Ye had introduced Jiang Qingge in front of an outsider.

All of a sudden, hearing Lu Ye personally introduce her, Jiang Qingge froze, staring blankly at Lu Ye beside her, as if doubting her own ears.

He... he was really willing to voluntarily introduce her in front of others?

And with that address...

In an instant, Jiang Qingge’s eyes grew faintly moist.

Sang Xiyao cupped her fists to Jiang Qingge in salute and said, "Greetings, Qingge Fairy."

"Greetings, Xiyao Fairy." Jiang Qingge hurriedly followed Lu Ye’s earlier form of address and returned the salute to Sang Xiyao.

...

A short while later, the three did not remain standing outside the town. Instead, they found an inn within the town, and Lu Ye directly booked a quiet little courtyard, planning to live there for this period of time.

At this moment, Sang Xiyao was sitting in the small courtyard, explaining to Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge some key information regarding the Mist Heaven Hall.

For example, what extreme situations they might encounter within the Mist Heaven Hall, what dangers they needed to avoid, and what the most important opportunities within the hall were, and so on.

"Within the Mist Heaven Hall, the most terrifying thing is the spatial turbulence storms that might appear at any time."

Speaking of this, Sang Xiyao’s expression was extremely serious. "Even a Celestial Realm expert, if they encounter a spatial turbulence storm and fail to dodge in time, will be swept into the dark void, where it is a nine-deaths-one-life situation."

Lu Ye silently took note of this and asked, "Before such storms appear, is there any form of warning?"

Sang Xiyao nodded. "Of course there is. When a spatial turbulence storm is about to arrive, the space within a radius of dozens of li will become extremely unstable. Besides the storm itself, that entire region will be riddled with spatial rifts."

"So the best way to deal with it is: in that kind of situation, absolutely do not fly in the void. That will greatly increase the chance of being sucked away by the turbulence or even by the rifts."

"Aside from that, there is the nighttime. During the night, thick black fog will appear as well, and within it, evil entities might emerge. Such things also exist in the outside world and are not unique to the Mist Heaven Hall." Sang Xiyao continued.

"As for what is most precious within the Mist Heaven Hall, it should be the Heaven-Breaking True Source Fruit..."

Sang Xiyao’s expression grew solemn. "This is an extremely mysterious top-grade Spirit Fruit. It can help Earth Realm cultivators rapidly increase their cultivation while also boosting their chances of Breaking the Realm."

"At the same time, it can also help Celestial Realm cultivators increase, by a sliver... their chances of breaking through to become a Celestial Being!"

Hearing this, even someone with Lu Ye’s temperament was slightly shocked. A top-grade treasure that could increase the chances of breaking through to become a Celestial Being?!
