Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 925 489: Realm Breakthrough Again!
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
Instead of rushing back to the Primordial Realm right away, Chen Xuan headed straight to the Ritual Department.
Liu Sheng had given him clear orders to do just that.
Within the majestic hall.
"Does the Chief Eunuch have any other instructions?" Chen Xuan softly inquired from his seat below.
Liu Sheng gazed at him, nursing a slight headache.
This kid's physique was freakishly abnormal—even heaven-rank pills couldn't completely forge his Jade Bones.
Given his condition, no ordinary techniques would work anymore.
"Chief Eunuch?"
With no reply from Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan called out once more.
"Hmm!"
Liu Sheng at last acknowledged him, "Your physical body..."
"Don't worry, Chief Eunuch, I know it's tough, but I'll manage to sort it out."
"What sort of plan do you even have?"
Liu Sheng arched a brow, knowing it was a hurdle even he struggled with—what scheme could this youngster possibly devise?
"Hmm..."
Chen Xuan mulled it over before revealing his thoughts on the Stone Race's Mother Liquid.
"What?"
Liu Sheng's expression shifted dramatically; he never imagined Chen Xuan aiming for the Stone Race's Mother Liquid.
Did this fool not know the meaning of 'death'?
"You cannot go!"
Liu Sheng grew stern, "The Stone Race ranks among Great Yu's top three deadliest spots. Even I wouldn't venture there solo. It's nothing short of suicide!"
"Don't worry, Chief Eunuch, I possess some confidence."
Thanks to his concealed abilities, careful steps would let him infiltrate the Stone Race without much trouble; snatching the Mother Liquid was the real challenge.
"What confidence do you possibly have!"
"Such arrogance!"
Liu Sheng bellowed in fury. At last, a perfect candidate appeared, and he couldn't let him perish in the Stone Race—how else would he face Emperor Yu?
Besides, the Burial Grounds demanded his presence.
"Uh—"
Chen Xuan stood dumbfounded too; this marked the first time he'd witnessed Liu Sheng's wrath. In his mind, Liu Sheng always resembled a kindly neighborhood elder, quite elegant.
A total contrast to Zhan Tian's demeanor.
Yet he understood Liu Sheng's worry for his well-being, so rather than flare up, a warm feeling bloomed in his chest.
Liu Sheng had treated him well.
Forget the Burial Grounds issue; Liu Sheng's personal visit to Molan Mansion to rescue him alone warranted deep thanks.
"If only you belonged to the Imperial Family."
Liu Sheng dropped a bombshell out of nowhere.
Should Chen Xuan truly be Imperial kin, the riches of the Qin Emperor Sacred Land would surely perfect his Jade Bones.
"Chief Eunuch, what are you imagining!"
Chen Xuan gave a wry shake of his head; him, part of the Imperial Family!?
"Alright, await word from me."
Then Liu Sheng's eyes turned grave as he cautioned, "Don't head to the Stone Race by yourself, or I'll drag you back and snap your legs!"
With those words, his stare dropped to Chen Xuan's lower region.
Chen Xuan involuntarily shrank back.
"Chief Eunuch... that's not funny!"
"Hmph! Scram!"
"Sigh!"
Chen Xuan let out a heavy sigh—what mess was this?
He'd shown up empty-handed and even caught an undeserved scolding.
"This kid takes his leave!"
He offered a light bow and departed the grand hall.
"Stone Race... Mother Liquid!"
Once gone, Liu Sheng murmured to himself; years ago, Zhan Tian's acquisition of the Mother Liquid had forged his unbreakable physique.
Else, how could Late Stage of the Dao Realm yield such pinnacle battle prowess?
Yet that very feat made the Stone Race guard the Mother Liquid far more fiercely now.
Without annihilating the Stone Race, claiming the Mother Liquid rivaled climbing to the heavens!
"Forget it, I'll humble myself and seek His Majesty's aid."
Liu Sheng heaved a soft sigh.
He doubted even Emperor Yu had a solution, but options had run dry.
Upon exiting the Ritual Department, Chen Xuan visited the Ye Family—Ye Jinhong answered to him, and he'd vowed aid if Murong Chuan stalled at Dao Realm breakthrough.
"Hmm, impressive; at worst, just over a year more."
In the hidden chamber, eyeing Murong Chuan's progress, Chen Xuan nodded approvingly.
"Nearly done! Appreciate you remembering, nephew."
Ye Fan grinned while voicing his thanks.
"Uncle, no need for formalities—we're kin, and it was convenient. I'll head back to Molan Mansion now; for any issues, relay through Ye Jinhong."
"Okay!"
Once Chen Xuan had departed, Ye Fan remained standing there, "Jinhong possesses a sharper judgment than even I, her father."
...
Within the Imperial Palace.
"Not even a heaven-rank pill suffices?"
Upon listening to Liu Sheng's report, Emperor Yu showed clear surprise.
Even in the Imperial Palace, heaven-rank pills remained scarce, and body-tempering varieties were exceptionally rare.
"Indeed, Your Majesty. Once a heaven-rank pill is consumed, repeating it yields barely any effect, so I boldly request if there exists another path?"
Liu Sheng bowed slightly forward, his tone full of respect.
He avoided naming the Qin Emperor Sacred Land outright, as it formed the Imperial Family's core foundation, too sensitive for open discussion despite his position.
By hinting through heaven-rank pills, Emperor Yu was bound to grasp the intent.
Should he agree... he'd voice it directly.
Yet disappointment awaited him.
"I possess no answer either!"
Shaking his head, Emperor Yu fully comprehended Liu Sheng's subtle request, yet it remained impossible!
The Qin Emperor Sacred Land stood exclusively for the Qin Family, a ironclad rule from Emperor Qin's founding era.
Not even he dared violate it.
Permitting an outsider access... that he refused outright!
"I comprehend, Your Majesty!"
His disappointment plain to see, Liu Sheng departed the Qixuan Hall.
"I stand helpless too!"
Emperor Yu murmured softly; marrying Qin Ying wouldn't grant entry even then.
...
Rather than heading back to the Ritual Department, Liu Sheng proceeded to the Three Judicial Departments.
With no alternatives left, the Stone Race's Mother Liquid became the sole choice, and Zhan Tian held the deepest knowledge of it—thus his visit there.
"He occupies the tenth floor?"
"Correct, Chief Eunuch. Elder Zhan has sealed off the outer area, blocking even transmissions!"
