Chapter 188 - Li Ju Part Two

Ah Chun was really excited she wanted to reach the pinnacle of heaven's will as soon as possible! "Senior are you able to open up all the meridians in one go or do you have to wait for each breakthrough?" 

"You can. It's just that it's not possible on this plane. When you finally leave the lower plane you will find that the Spiritual Qi is almost tens of thousands of times denser than what is available here. Also, there are only one hundred hidden major meridians that I know about. Beyond that, I am not too sure. I have found some information on smaller meridians but have not found any evidence that anyone has been able to open them or not. I do know that as long as you finish opening up your one hundred major meridians you can continue cultivating without any problems. You will have to open sixty-three of them before you can exceed the primordial god realm. 

You probably think that Qi Universe only has nine levels. This is not true. Qi Universe is what's considered the step that one must surpass in order to really step foot on the path of cultivation. It takes you from the Doa Tree realm all the way to the Peak of the Primordial God realm. In truth just breaking through to stage four Qi Universe in the Dao Tree realm is the same as being an Initial stage Immortal. Frankly speaking, if you opened up just twenty of the major meridians and cultivated to the peak of Primordial God realm there would be no one under the Primordial God realm in the lower plane that could threaten you. Well unless you were against someone with the same or more meridians opened than you." Li Ju poured another cup of wine as he talked.

Ah Chun was learning a great deal from this man. She wondered how he knew so much but did not dare to ask. Just the information he was giving her was worth more than she could ever pay.  After taking a sip of wine Ah Chun cupped her hands and bowed her head. "Senior's words Ah Chun has learned well. I thank Senior for his teachings." 

"Haha! Little Lass, you are too much, we have already shared drinks there is no need to be so courteous. It is a senior's job to teach the juniors. I am only passing down what information I know and had gathered over the tens of thousands of years that I cultivated. Now I am bound to this palace." Li Ju lowered his head. He seemed to show a bit of regret for his hastiness back then.

"Senior… If you are bound to this palace. Would that not make you this palaces weapon spirit? Which would, in turn, make this palace a weapon would it not?" Ah Chun asked. She had thought since he was still alive but bound to this palace that it would, in turn, make him a weapon spirit.

"Now that you mention it. I guess you could say that is so. The way I bond myself to this palace was, in fact, similar to that of how a spirit would bound itself to a weapon." Li Ju eyes lit up he had never thought of it this way before.

"Then Senior, if and I am saying a big what if I am able to refine this palace and take it out of the mystic realm. Would you like to travel the stars with me?  In truth, I am bound by a vow to stand at the apex of all. If I break that vow I will die. So I have no choice but to stand above the rest. Would you like to see what is past the lower plane with your own eyes?" Ah Chun felt that Li Ju was someone who deserved to see what lay beyond the lower plane and should not be stuck in a mystic realm for all eternity. 

"Little Lass if you are able to do so then this old man will do what he can to help you along your path. Having this palace would allow you and your beloved to break through without worrying about your tribulations." Li Ju said with a smile. He hoped that this little girl would be able to refine this palace but he did not hold to much hope in it. It would take a great deal of power in order to do such a thing and her cultivation realm was just to low.

"Then when Shen reaches this point and we finish up the inheritance. I will do my best to refine this palace." Ah Chun said with a sly smile.

"I'm going to give you my palace and be your weapon spirit and you still want my inheritance!?" Li Ju said in surprise.

"Of course! I worked hard to get this far! I want my reward!" Ah Chun puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms over her chest. 

Seeing this Li Ju let out a laugh. "Haha! You are a true cultivator. Greediness is a must as a cultivator otherwise how would you get the resources you need to advance further! Killing, stealing, and risking one's life for the smallest treasure is what makes a cultivator a real cultivator. Oh by the way… If you are able to refine this palace and take me out of here I will pass down everything I know about swindling people.." 

"Now this I have to hear." Ah Chun's eyes sparkled. 

As the two continued to chat a few hundred years more passed by in a blink of an eye. A figure covered in blood fell down from a flight of stairs and landed on the third platform behind Ah Chun. "Shen!" Ah Chun quickly ran over to Ning Shen and checked his injuries and frowned. He had sustained so many internal injuries and was barely alive! 

"Chun'er I held on and pushed through. I hope you did not wait too long." Although he hurt all over Ning Shen's gaze was warm as he looked at Ah Chun and smiled. 

"Lad your devotion to the Little Lass is very inspiring. Take this and circulate your qi you will be healed in no time." Li Ju said as he tossed a pill to Ah Chun. Who immediately caught it and then fed it to Ning Shen.

After almost a thousand years Ah Chun and Ning Shen were now ready to accept the inheritance. It was in fact on this day that Ah Chun turned nine hundred and twenty years old.
