The five then enjoyed a pleasant dinner, filled with laughter and joy throughout.
After the banquet ended, Cuier and Xiao He withdrew on their own initiative.
Looking at the radiant Murong Yin and the smiling Feng Yue, Jiang Liu immediately knew that tonight would be another sleepless night.
The next morning, Jiang Liu got up alone, washed up, and went to the square where he usually practiced.
When Murong Yin advanced in rank yesterday, Jiang Liu felt as if he had a premonition.
Jiang Liu began practicing the Saintly Sky Art, and before long, the slowly flowing Essence Particles and Spirit Power Particles around him began to converge towards Jiang Liu.
Gradually, the surrounding Essence Particles of the Jiang Liu flowed together to form a Primal Qi Storm, and the invisible pillars condensed from Spirit Power Particles began to thicken. In addition, a special type of Essence Particles also began to increase in number.
Once all the energy converged at one point, it was violently and frantically poured into Jiang Liu's body and his Divine Sense.
Jiang Liu was already used to these things, and he accepted them all no matter how many came.
This shows how much noise Jiang Liu makes when he practices the Saintly Sky Art.
Moreover, the resilience of Jiang Liu's internal meridians and the solidity of his Divine Sense sea are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The volume of solidified vital energy within the Jiang Liu is constantly increasing, and the area of Divine Sense is also slowly expanding.
Most importantly, the volume of the Special Essence Particles contained in the solidified energy within the body is getting larger and larger.
Jiang Liu spread his Divine Sense, which immediately enveloped the entire mansion and then continued to spread outwards.
Jiang Liu's Divine Sense easily covered an area of over four thousand meters. If Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue knew this, they would definitely be shocked, because even their Divine Sense did not exceed four thousand meters.
Because the range of Divine Sense exceeding four thousand meters is already the limit for Peak Grandmaster, once the range of Divine Sense reaches its limit, one's spiritual power can prepare to advance to the Saint Realm, although success in advancing is not guaranteed.
However, Jiang Liu's Divine Sense now covers a range of over four thousand meters, but there is no sign whatsoever that his spiritual power is about to advance to the Saint Grade.
Moreover, not only are they not at the Saint Realm, but they haven't even shown any intention of advancing to the Peak Grandmaster Realm yet.
Jiang Liu was completely unaware of these things, so he thought it was normal and didn't seem anxious at all. He just focused on cultivating to enhance his spiritual power He Yuan.
He only knew that the limit of a Grandmaster's Divine Sense was two thousand meters, but when his spiritual power advanced to the Grandmaster level, the range of his Divine Sense had already exceeded the limit of Grandmaster.
Therefore, Jiang Liu's mental strength is definitely no worse than that of Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue, but the combat power of a Grandmaster cannot be judged solely by mental strength.
Therefore, if Jiang Liu were to fight Peak Grandmaster now, he would still be utterly defeated, but he could easily defeat an ordinary Grandmaster.
This is the main reason why Jiang Liu has been able to kill most Grandmaster. Of course, the Star Cloud Saint Art Technique also provided a lot of help.
Jiang Liu stopped when his Divine Sense covered a range of a little over four thousand meters.
Jiang Liu sighed inwardly. He didn't know how much mental power he needed to reach to advance to the Peak Grandmaster.
However, at this steady growth rate, Jiang Liu believes that he will eventually reach his limit and will definitely advance to the Peak Grandmaster.
Jiang Liu glanced at the sky, finished his practice, washed up, and prepared to have lunch.
Nowadays, Murong Yin and Feng Yue usually stay at the mansion to cultivate and handle matters unless there is an emergency or they need to deal with things personally. Only then will they go to the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion's residence.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the side hall, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Cuier, and Xiao He were already waiting for Jiang Liu.
After the five finished their meal, they sat down in the side hall to chat.
At this moment, the messenger sent by the Listening Wind Pavilion to this place walked in with a sealed scroll in his hand. It turned out that the intelligence from Ascension Tower was delivered every seven days.
Ever since Jiang Liu moved here from Yuncheng, Murong Aotian has been sending Jiang Liu a summary of the major events that have occurred in the entire Daqian Dynasty every seven days.
Jiang Liu took the sealed scroll handed to him by the messenger, examined it, and then opened the scroll.
There was only one piece of paper inside, which probably means that nothing major has happened in the states in the past few days.
Jiang Liu unfolded the paper and began to read, but his brows furrowed as he read.
When Murong Yin and Feng Yue saw Jiang Liu frown, they immediately knew that something had happened, and it was no small matter.
After reading the contents of the paper, Jiang Liu casually handed it to Murong Yin and then began to ponder.
Murong Yin took it and started reading, while Feng Yue also joined in.
This was a message from Tian Province, clearly stating that Tian Province was about to descend into chaos.
The cause was still the Confucian school, because most of the people in the current Daqian court were from the Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion.
Faced with the increasingly chaotic situation in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Confucian school once again raised its previous suggestion to abolish martial arts cultivation methods.
This time, it wasn't just a proposal; it also received support from the National Preceptor's Mansion.
This gave the Confucian school the confidence to fight against the martial artists of the Great Jianghu, because only by eliminating these martial artists could the Great Qian Dynasty possibly return to peace.
If we want to conquer and pacify the entire Daqian, the first thing we need to deal with is the current Jianghu forces in Tian Province.
After all, if Tian Province is unstable, how can we talk about pacifying the whole world?
The news caused an uproar throughout the Tian Province Jianghu.
Meanwhile, in Tian Province, the two major Jianghu forces, the Zheng Family and the Moonfall Sect, soon formed an alliance to prepare for the oppression and attacks from the Confucian School and the National Preceptor's Mansion.
This immediately heightened the tension in Tian Province, with frequent skirmishes between the two sides. Although both sides are currently exercising restraint, if this continues, a full-scale war will inevitably break out sooner or later.
As for the Martial Prohibition Hall, they remained completely unresponsive, and it was unclear what they were planning. Furthermore, Lu Tianheng, the commander of the Martial Prohibition Hall, had vanished without a trace.
Now only the former Grandmaster and Deputy Commanders from each state remain in charge of the Martial Prohibition Hall, and none of them are willing to submit to anyone else. Only Lu Tianheng has the strength to overpower them.
Therefore, although the Martial Prohibition Hall is currently the most powerful in Tian Province, with the most Grandmaster, it is still a disorganized mess, lacking any cohesion.
Even if the Martial Prohibition Hall doesn't intervene, the combined strength of the Confucian School and the National Preceptor's Mansion's Mansion is more than enough to handle the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family.
Not to mention the fact that the Great Qian Imperial Family is also watching them with predatory eyes, so the situation of the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family is now extremely precarious.
Upon seeing this information, Jiang Liu sighed. It seemed that the Great Qian Imperial Family was truly about to take action.
As for why they didn't take action earlier, it was probably because they were trying to reach an internal consensus, which is why they missed the opportunity to strike at the Jianghu forces.
However, it's also possible that they didn't act for fear of falling out with the three sects. Now that the Confucian school is taking the lead and the National Preceptor's Mansion is cooperating, even if they fail, they'll have an excuse and won't necessarily turn against the three sects directly.
Currently, the three major sects still hold a significant advantage over the Great Qian Dynasty. Otherwise, the Great Qian Imperial Family would have already turned against them; why would they have tolerated this situation until now?
