Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 926 489: Realm Breakthrough Again! (Part 2)

Cai Kun responded in a hushed tone.

"That bastard is so impatient!"

Liu Sheng, already harboring displeasure, directly cursed Zhan Tian in his presence.

Cai Kun was left utterly shocked.

He had always viewed Liu Sheng as a poised and elegant elder, so witnessing him lose his cool like this was a first.

Liu Sheng paid him no mind, turning his gaze instead to the tenth floor of the Library Pavilion.

Without triggering the array on the tenth floor, notifying Zhan Tian remains impossible.

"Forget it!"

After all, time is still on their side—no need to hurry, and firing up the array would be excessive.

He then ordered Cai Kun, "Tell him to head straight to the Ritual Department once he emerges!"

"Yes!"

Cai Kun nodded his agreement.

Once Liu Sheng vanished from view, he murmured under his breath, "What's happening here?"

"Don't overthink it, don't overthink it!"

Affairs involving Great Yu's top figures are far beyond a man like him grasping.

Moreover...

Swamped day and night with the duties of the Great Yu Three Judicial Departments, he barely gets any shut-eye anymore.

Right now, he found himself genuinely longing for Wu Yue.

He cast a look at the Library Pavilion, "Wu Yue, Wu Yue, why won't you come out!"

Zhan Tian escorting Xiaoqi up to the tenth floor himself makes the intent crystal clear.

He's destined to become the next Minister of the Three Judicial Departments!

Any other way, and the sacred rule barring all but the Three Judicial Departments' Minister from the Library Pavilion's tenth floor gets shattered.

Chen Xuan, naturally, stands as the sole exception!

"Who could've imagined... our Minister is merely a kid!"

"Certain folks are in for a letdown!"

A faint grin crossed his face as he strode toward the exit.

...

Primordial Realm!

"Xiaoqi remained in the Imperial City?"

The news hit Lan Meng'Er like a thunderbolt, leaving her dumbfounded.

So young, yet Chen Xuan left him there by himself.

"Does the food suit him?"

"How does he sleep?"

"Husband, I'm so anxious!"

Lan Meng'Er fretted aloud, her eyes brimming with near-tears worry.

Chen Xuan drew her close into his embrace, soothing her, "Don't fret—Xiaoqi may be young, but his mind outshines peers his age."

"Eating and living conditions won't be an issue."

"This chance is golden; Zhan Tian leads Great Yu, and personal guidance from him is a dream for countless."

"Sticking by us forever stunts his growth—it's high time he faces the world independently."

Chen Xuan's deepest concern got addressed; he'd warned Xiaoqi before departing against Great Yu's sway.

Plus, regular visits from him are planned.

No big troubles should arise.

"Truly?"

Lan Meng'Er lifted her gaze to him; despite his words, maternal concern lingered undimmed in her eyes.

"Have I ever misled you!"

"Join me next trip to the Imperial City!"

He got it—Xiaoqi had clung to her since birth, so abrupt parting felt unnatural.

"So when does Husband plan to head there?"

Yearning for Xiaoqi overwhelmed her; she ached to rush over now.

"A few days from now—be patient and obey!"

Lan Meng'Er fell silent, nestling her head on his shoulder as tears flowed freely.

She recognized it benefited Xiaoqi.

Yet worry gnawed relentlessly.

Chen Xuan softly stroked her back, offering no further words.

After what felt like ages, Lan Meng'Er pulled away abruptly, "Do it soon as possible!"

Her face set with resolve, her voice brooking no denial from Chen Xuan.

This caught him off guard; he'd seen her tenderness aplenty, but this fierce side was new.

"Fine!"

...

The Place of Burial's issues weighed heavily on Chen Xuan, especially Liu Sheng's revelation that even Peak Seventh Layer of Dao Realm power falls short—this sparked intense urgency within him.

Failing to defend Great Yu's honor means Emperor Yu withholds Human Realm coordinates.

Unless his might eclipses Emperor Yu's, this path is unavoidable.

Thus, from the day after returning to Primordial Realm, he dove into earnest cultivation.

In the study.

Chen Xuan fixed his eyes on the panel.

...

[Rule: Rule of Space (Forty Percent)]

[Spirit Body: Heavenly Dao Body]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Fifth Layer), Spirit Cultivator: Dao Grade (Fifth Layer)]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Seventeenth Layer (7.55 billion/72 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Twentieth Layer (1.2 billion/83.2 billion))]

[Skill Points: 3.474 billion]

...

Post-Unity, laziness had gripped him, with scarcely any true cultivation effort.

The Nine Elements Dao Skill and Myriad Manifestation Skill have barely advanced at all.

At least the skill points remain fully utilized!

"Still, better to quickly cultivate the two techniques to their limits!"

Chen Xuan's eyes fixed firmly on the pair of cultivation techniques.

In truth, he had long itched to gripe about the system, where skill points must reach the maximum before any related cultivation insights unlock.

For instance, right now, dumping over thirty billion skill points into the Nine Elements Dao Skill achieves nothing.

Yet griping stays just griping; the system operates this way, unchangeable, leaving him no choice but to mutter inwardly in silence.

With that, he began his cultivation session.

His strategy called for pushing both techniques to their peaks, testing whether his power would surge ahead; failure meant braving the Stone Cave in search of Mother Liquid.

Slothful days drift by swiftly, but intense cultivation devours time at an even fiercer pace.

In a flash, one month vanished.

Inside the study, Chen Xuan gradually parted his eyes, wrapping up the day's practice.

A mere thought surfaced.

...

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Seventeenth Layer (10.9 billion/72 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Twentieth Layer (1.2 billion/83.2 billion))]

...

With a swift peek, he shifted his gaze away.

"Gurgle gurgle..."
