...

Zhao Yuling returned to the book depository and saw the little tortoise holding a cloth and cleaning up.

“Lil Lu, where’s Brother Lil Chu?”

Usually, when she returned, she would want to snatch up the little tortoise and stroke it, but this time, it was a rare occasion that she did not do so.

Currently, she was not in the mood as her mind was full of inquiries that she needed to seek answers for.

When it heard the familiar voice, the little tortoise fumbled and discarded the cloth on its head and got so agitated that it resumed its tortoise crawling mode. Its four short legs were like an electric motor. It escaped like a tiny mouse and scurried a long distance away in a split second.

After some time, the little tortoise who was hiding on the bookshelf noticed something was off. Usually, when it heard the voice, its head would soon land in a demonic palm, not giving it any chance to react. Even if it saw the person coming in advance, it would still be fruitless.

‘Yet why did I manage to evade the demonic grasp so easily?

The little tortoise was feeling puzzled and stretched out its head cautiously. Then, its eyes like green beans gleamed with astonishment.

Zhao Yuling’s eyes were looking at it and it was obvious that it was not doing a good job hiding and was spotted!

However, the person had no intention of making a move.

It seemed as if she just wanted to ask it a question.

‘Something is wrong with the flow!’

‘We didn’t used to be like this when we met with each other in the past!’

The little tortoise suddenly felt uneasy.

Deep in its heart, it was feeling a bit let down.

It was certainly against being stroked.

However, just as it had gotten used to it, she did not stroke it instead.

It had a feeling of being discarded.

It matched its eyes to Zhao Yuling, blankly.

Zhao Yuling’s gorgeous brows frowned.

‘What’s with Lil Lu’s expression?’

‘I am just asking a question and didn’t even make a move on it.’

‘What’s with those eyes that are glittering with bitterness?’

“Girl, you’re back! Not bad, your spirits are even more compact!”

Just when Zhao Yuling was being stared upon, the huge door of the bedroom from within the book depository was opened. Chu He came out just in time with his hands behind him.

“I’ve broken through, Brother Lil Chu!”

Zhao Yuling shifted her gaze and quickly announced.

“Mmm! Not bad.”

Chu He said while nodding his head.

Zhao Yuling’s eyes were gleaming.

Brother Lil Chu’s reaction was no different from any ordinary day. This made her unable to judge her hunch.

Her mind was thinking fast and she was trying to analyze from every minor detail.

“I’m so stupid!”

Finally, she gave up. Trying to make a guess was taking a toll on her. She might as well just ask directly.

‘Isn’t he just standing right before me?!’

“Brother Lil Chu, previously when I was being locked up by the foreign clan, a mysterious powerhouse came to me later on and killed off the entire foreign clan. Besides, I kept feeling that my breakthrough had happened casually. It must have something to do with that mysterious powerhouse. Was that you?”

She blurted out the question that was lingering within her.

“Yes or no. Is it really that important?!”

Chu He shook his head and laughed, not giving anything away.

He pulled a chair over to him, picked up a book, and started flipping through it slowly.

Zhao Yuling blinked her eyes twice.

‘What is the meaning of this?’

‘Brother Lil Chu is always like this when he talks, making things hard to predict.’

Even though that was indeed an act of a powerhouse, it was not easy trying to understand them!

Zhao Yuling thought for a moment and did not continue questioning. She kept thinking that his answer was more toward acknowledging it silently.

Yet, the fact Brother Lil Chu blurted the comment in such a vague manner could possibly be because he had some hardship that he was enduring.

Just like the martial arts legend that was recorded, some of the powerhouses could not reveal their identity because of some reasons and once it was revealed, it would lead to very huge trouble!

Yes!

That must be it.

Zhao Yuling thought through it and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense to her.

She felt that she was about to grasp the truth of the incident.

“No, I got to inform Auntie about this incident.”

Zhao Yuling secretly made up that decision.

Then, she changed her question and asked, “Brother Lil Chu, my cultivation seems a bit weird. Not long after I broke through, I bumped into an Ultimate Demi-King of the foreign clan. In the end, we both got engaged in a battle and he just got defeated as he couldn’t defend against my attack!”

“Why is that so?”

Chu He raised his eyebrows after hearing it.

He did not expect the girl to kill an Ultimate Demi-King.

‘Mei clan, huh.’

“He’s just an Ultimate Demi-King. What’s so weird about it if you can kill him?”

“After you’ve broken through, you’re a King! A Genuine King killing off a fake King makes perfect sense.”

Chu He said calmly.

There was nothing more to talk about.

Previously, he did not mention it was just because he was too lazy to talk about it.

Throughout the journey of cultivation, as long as one followed the right path, the name of the realm would not matter much.

The realm of the King was also known as the Heavenly realm, Emperor realm, and many other terms just to name a few.

Names were given by others. The more people used these names, the more the term became fixed to it.

Adding on to a little playful thought to it.

It ended just like right now.

The first time the girl faced off with an Ultimate Demi-King as her enemy, she must have been very anxious and even had the despairing mindset of facing death at the end of the battle.

After that, she won the battle!

The thought of it that suddenly occurred to her must be shocking.

Also, another reason he did not mention it was that he did not want his mentees to be so full of themselves.

Especially that Lin Xueling, who was very good at fantasizing.

Once she was certain about her abilities, Chu He guessed that she would take the initiative to accept the heavy responsibility of expanding the lands of the clan.

When that time arrived, it would be another huge trouble.

It was not something a lady who loved fantasizing would be able to take responsibility for.

“Isn’t it supposed to be Demi-King after Precelestial? Why did I...”

Zhao Yuling widened her eyes.

Despite all the guesses that she made, it still made her unable to believe in it.

If Chu He were to tell her that her combat effectiveness was at the peak under his guidance and could overwhelm all super Ultimate Demi-Kings, she would still be able to accept a portion of it.

“Who told you that after Precelestial will be Demi-King?” Chu He countered.

“According to the records from ancient times, everyone has said so,” Zhao Yuling replied.

“Are ancient recordings always right?”

Chu He said with a smile.

Actually, what was recorded in the old books was directed to those who had taken the wrong path, but then, one could not comment that it was totally wrong.

Perhaps the entire Xia clan or even the various clans of the Lands of Man were not aware that after Precelestial, one could immediately breakthrough and become a King.

Previously, Chu He was not aware of the actual condition of the Xia clan and the Lands of Man. He only thought that they were too stupid. After cultivating for so many years, they did not even spot the flaws within the martial arts.

However, he had since been able to read through the various precious and secret books of the Lin family.

Chu He interpreted it and the truth might not be what he had thought so.

The reason for it was probably because of the availability of resources.

The route from Precelestial straight to the King was a very dangerous path.

Even for him, and the two girls, they had used up lots of precious treasures to accumulate their experience before breaking through.

Also, they would keep learning about oil painting. That was a great opportunity that not all living beings were able to meet up. 4

During the breakthrough, they even used the most crucial Genuine King Breakthrough Tablets, Golden Body Shaping Tablets, and all sorts of tablets that helped them out.

For other people, perhaps it was also the same few supporting items that would be needed to breakthrough.

Yet, the Lands of Man was way too scarce. Just the ingredients needed to make the tablets for the King’s realm was a major headache.

Besides, even if they managed to collect all the items, getting an alchemist was also a huge problem.

Every alchemist was produced through numerous resources and accumulation of experience. In order to master the process to create the tablets for the King’s realm, they would need enough ingredients beforehand to test it out.

Hence, the issue came back to square one.

Resources.

So, perhaps it was because of the helpless situation that the various clans of the Lands of Man had altered the correct cultivation pathway.

In between the King and Precelestial realm, they added on the Demi-King realm and utilized other methods to gain experience.

Even though there were lots of detours, it still managed to lower the risk to the minimum.

Perhaps, the descendants of the powerhouses of the few huge clans within the Lands of Man had enough resources and hence were able to cultivate with the correct path.

However, Chu He did not waste any effort to explain all of these.

Zhao Yuling was dumbfounded!

Yeah!

‘Who says the records in the ancient books are always right?’

‘Are the people in the past always smarter?’

“Girl, stop thinking too much about it. Be it a Demi-King or King, it’s just a name for them. Why bother being fussy over it?”

“The most critical thing is your combat effectiveness.”

“Now, you’re able to kill an Ultimate Demi-King, and that’s more than enough!”

Chu He smiled and said.

Zhao Yuling nodded her head as if she understood it all now.

‘It is too deep but it seems to make sense.’

‘However, in the nutshell, I should be a genuine King and there’s no mistake about it!’

“Oh yeah, Brother Lil Chu, what realm are you in currently?”

Zhao Yuling suddenly got curious and asked.

Last time, she always thought of Chu He as a Demi-King, but now, it was obviously not the case.

Chu He looked at Zhao Yuling and said with a smile, “Just slightly stronger than you. Just a tiny bit.” 2

“Alright, you’ve asked your questions. Now sit down and accompany me to read some books. Since you’ve already broken through and you’ve trained enough outside, next up is to stay in the book depository for some time, and solidify your cultivation.”
