Chapter 177.1

When they arrived at the imperial palace, they found Lin Beifan standing unharmed in front of a palace.

Everyone was stunned, Your Majesty, are you alright?

Lin Beifan smiled and said, Of course Im alright, thank you all for your concern!

But that powerful aura

Lin Beifan turned his head to glance at the palace behind him and laughed, Thats Sword Elder. Hes about to make a breakthrough!

Sword Elder a breakthrough Everyone was shocked.

Sword Elder was already at the peak of Imperial Qi, just half a step away from the realm of Grandmaster.

If he was to make a breakthrough, where could he possibly go?

Of course, it would be

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out: Ive broken through! Ive finally broken through! Haha

With a whoosh, a familiar figure burst out from the palace.

Upon closer inspection, it was Sword Elder himself.

He was the same person, but he seemed different.

Because he was now exuding a powerful aura that not only covered the entire imperial palace but also enveloped the whole city.

The aura was so terrifying that even Innate experts couldnt lift their swords.

Everyone was astounded, looking at the person before them in disbelief.

Sword Elder has really made a breakthrough!

Grandmaster! This must be the realm of Grandmaster!

Our Great Xia finally has its own Grandmaster!

The crowd was both excited and overjoyed.

Sword Elder was even more emotional, tears streaming down his face as he said, I never expected that at the end of my life, I would have the chance to glimpse the realm of Grandmaster. The heavens have been kind to me! The heavens have been kind

Reflecting on his life, he could be described as having achieved nothing remarkable.

No extraordinary talent, no mentor to impart skills, no background or resources, and no fortunate encounters.

He had lived a plain and uneventful life without any great waves or splendor.

He had thought that he would never become a Grandmaster in this lifetime, but fate played a joke on him.

Indeed, it was with Lin Beifans guidance that he had broken through to Grandmaster.

But only after his breakthrough did he realize how profound and mysterious the martial arts knowledge Lin Beifan had taught him was, and he was still reaping the benefits.

Therefore, he wanted to continue learning from Lin Beifan, to become stronger, and to reach even higher realms.

Lin Beifan looked at him with a face full of satisfaction. Sword Elder remembered his roots and was grateful to his Master, a truly commendable attitude!

Wasnt it precisely because of these rare and precious qualities that he had taken him as a disciple in the first place?

Otherwise, wouldnt it be frustrating to teach a white-eyed wolf? (TLN: ungrateful person)

If you wish to learn, as your teacher, I will naturally teach you! I have many more martial arts secrets to pass on to you! Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Elder Sword was overjoyed, Thank you, Master, for your generosity!

While he was happy, there was also a tinge of regret in his heart.

His Master had such a talent for martial arts; if he had focused on practicing, he would surely have broken through to the Grandmaster realm!

Even reaching the Great Grandmaster level was not out of the question!

What a pity!

Disciple, youve just made a breakthrough and need to consolidate your realm. I wont disturb you any longer! You just focus on your cultivation, and I will arrange the other matters for you! Lin Beifan left.

Thank you, Master, I bid you farewell!

Back in his study, Lin Beifan heard a notification from the Empire Sandbox.

Ding! Due to the growth of the players national power, your strength has increased accordingly. You are rewarded with the Art of Longevity!

The Art of Longevity, allegedly written by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, is a top-level Taoist cultivation technique! It allows one to directly cultivate Innate True Qi, enabling a rapid breakthrough into the Celestial Realm! Moreover, it preserves youth and extends life, ensuring longevity like that of a turtle! (TLN: Yellow Emperor / Huangdi is a legendary figure in Chinese mythology and history.)

Needless to say, it must be thanks to my good disciples breakthrough, double happiness has arrived! Lin Beifan laughed.

The addition of a Grandmaster to the nation greatly amplified the national power.

It would be strange if it didnt increase!
