Chapter 177.2

Looking at the reward, Lin Beifan smiled happily again.

The Art of Longevity was a Taoist technique for eternal life.

He had practiced many top-level techniques, many of which had the ability to extend life.

For instance, the Sacred Heart Technique could grant longevity.

The True Art of Xuanwu also had the effect of extending life.

But when it comes to longevity, the Art of Longevity was the orthodox path!

Having one more technique for longevity would allow one to live longer and more freely.

However, the voice Lin Beifan was most looking forward to did not come.

After waiting for a long time, he couldnt help but ask, Empire Sandbox, look, Ive got a Grandmaster now, and all the conditions are met. Cant you upgrade now?

Ding! There is still one condition that is not met, unable to upgrade!

Lin Beifan was confused: What are we missing?

Empire Sandbox answered: To upgrade, you need 20 Innates, and currently, you are short by one person!

Only then did Lin Beifan realize that, indeed, they were one person short.

Originally, they had 20 Innates, which met the requirement.

However, after Sword Elder became a Grandmaster, the number of Innates was reduced by one, and someone needed to fill the gap.

If it wasnt filled, they couldnt upgrade.

Lin Beifan was frustrated; this sandbox was too rigid!

Lets not worry about it for now! The ceremony must go on when its time, and were almost there anyway! Grandmasters are hard to find, but isnt it easy to find an Innate master?

While Lin Beifan was stewing in his annoyance, the outside world was in turmoil over Sword Elders breakthrough to Grandmaster.

Was that Sword Elder who just broke through and became a lofty Grandmaster?

Could it be false? The imperial court has announced it!

Look, the imperial court is starting to throw a big feast to celebrate!

Our Great Xia finally has a Grandmaster. We are now a powerful nation. Lets see who dares to bully us now? Hahaha

I heard His Majesty is overjoyed and is planning to choose a date for the ceremony to upgrade to a Dynasty!

Its about time! Long live the Grandmaster! Long live His Majesty! Long live Great Xia!

The people cheered joyfully, singing and dancing.

This news spread across the world at an unbelievable speed, shocking all powers.

Sword Elder broke through and became a Grandmaster?

Isnt that too fast?

Great Xia is so fortunate, so blessed. We must not provoke them in the future!

We dont even have a Grandmaster after all this time. How does Great Xia deserve this?

Ahh, do as you wish! Youre as stubborn as your father, never giving up until you hit a dead end!

The two arrived at the gates of the imperial palace.

Mother, it is said that Sword Elder resides in the imperial palace. I will go and knock on the door to request an audience!

Several guards were on duty inside the palace.

Seeing the two of them approach, they waved them off: This is a restricted area of the imperial palace. Ordinary people are not allowed to come close!

The woman in grey bowed respectfully and said, Esteemed sir, my mother and I have come with a respectful greeting! We have an urgent matter to discuss with Sword Elder, and I kindly ask you to pass on our request.

The guard sneered, Who do you think you are? Sword Elder is a Grandmaster of Great Xia, a person of high status, not someone you can just demand to see.

Waving impatiently, he said, Leave at once! Otherwise, we will not be polite!

The woman in grey pleaded, Sir, please convey our message. We truly have an urgent matter concerning a life at stake!

It doesnt matter! Without the emperors decree, no one is allowed to disturb Sword Elder!

Seeing the guards unyielding attitude, the woman in grey was very disappointed and said, Sir, I apologize, I have no choice but to offend you!

She raised her head and called out loudly, Liu Wanqing of Qingcheng Mountain, accompanied by her mother, has come to seek an audience with the Sword Elder! I hope Sword Elder will show mercy and meet with us! We would be eternally grateful!

Her voice was not loud, but it drifted into the imperial palace.

The Imperial Guards expressions changed.

Silence! You must not make a racket in front of the imperial palace!

Do you want us all dead?

Arrest them!

They all drew their sidearms and charged forward.

The woman in gray showed no fear, merely waving her hand gently.

A puff of white smoke emerged from her sleeve, and upon smelling it, everyone became weak and powerless.

The people behind her were too scared to move forward. Did you use poison?

The woman in gray spoke, This is merely a special sleeping potion Ive concocted. Its colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. It will wear off after half an hour! I have no intention of being your enemy, so please dont make things difficult for me!

Youre causing trouble at the imperial palace and youre asking us not to make things difficult for you? Kill her!

A wave after wave of Imperial Guards rushed out from the palace.

Im sorry, but I really have no choice now! the woman in gray said.

The fight continued.
