Ye Qinglian: Just Treat Him as an Unworldly Expert!

Inside Qianqing Palace, Xiao Bing looked at Chu Ning with excitement, a faint power of the Heavenly Dao swirling around her. Her cultivation had already reached the fifth realm, the Observing Sea stage!

Breaking through to this realm in just half a month was incredibly fast, even faster than His Majesty in her younger days. She had only been cultivating for just over thirty years now!

She could be considered a prodigy throughout the entire world!

Her breakthrough was solely due to grasping the introductory mental cultivation of the Great Evolution Heavenly Dao Chapter. She hadn't even fully comprehended the later techniques, yet her cultivation speed was already this rapid!

Wouldn't that mean she could surpass His Majesty in the future?

"I've always said I'm an expert hidden from the world, you just never believed me."

Chu Ning thought it was something else.

"Cultivate diligently, and help my wife more, understand?"

Xiao Bing hesitated for a moment, then stared intently at Chu Ning.

"Then can Xiao Bing ask what realm Mister is in? Are you Void Breaking, Infinite, or perhaps Celestial Phenomenon?"

"Immortal Emperor!"

Xiao Bing: "..."

What kind of realm was that? She had never even heard of it.

"Then how big is the gap between the Imperial Sovereign and Xiao Bing?"

"If you haven't reached Celestial Phenomenon, seeing me is like a frog in a well looking up at the moon. If you reach Celestial Phenomenon, seeing me is like a mayfly seeing the vast sky."

Xiao Bing: "..."

This time, she was even more silent.

These words... felt a bit... too unbelievable...

She always felt like the Imperial Sovereign before her was just joking.

Celestial Phenomenon was clearly the strongest cultivation in the world. Even the Five Great Dynasties couldn't find anyone at that level; only in the three top Holy Lands could existences like Celestial Phenomenon be found.

Celestial Phenomenon sees you as a mayfly seeing the sky?

Then why didn't you fight back when His Majesty held a sword to your neck?

No, wait, the two of them should be husband and wife. His Majesty wouldn't attack, it was just a scare. It was only right that the Imperial Sovereign didn't retaliate...

"Then why don't you show me?"

Chu Ning twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What's there to show you? I'd shock you, and then what?"

Xiao Bing hurriedly explained, "Then Xiao Bing can tell His Majesty that the Imperial Sovereign is also a master cultivator! Wouldn't His Majesty be quite happy then?"

"I've always told her I'm an expert hidden from the world, and she never seemed particularly happy."

"That's because His Majesty always thought you were joking. If you show her, won't she truly know?"

Chu Ning sighed deeply.

"Xiao Bing, you don't understand. Experts hidden from the world like me are very low-key."

"Ah?"

"Are there any troubles within the Dynasty that need resolving?"

"Uh, it doesn't seem like it..."

"What about externally?"

"Externally... there probably are. The other four Dynasties can all be considered enemies."

"And what about after the Great Zhou and Great Gan Dynasties form an alliance?"

"Uh... perhaps not then. Who would dare offend the Great Gan Dynasty?"

Chu Ning spread his hands.

"Then that's that. With no internal or external troubles, what can I do even if I step forward?"

"You... could use your strength as an expert hidden from the world to help His Majesty unify the world?"

"Xiao Bing, you don't understand. What others give you and what you strive for yourself are not the same thing. With an expert hidden from the world like me existing, no one can pose a threat to the Great Gan Dynasty. This way, after Qinglian and I's child is born, Qinglian will have the heart and energy to unify everything and continuously gain a sense of accomplishment. Isn't that good?"

"My position is too high. The scenery on the mountaintop is really just that, nothing worth mentioning. But the Great Gan Dynasty will gradually become stronger and more prosperous under Qinglian's governance, eventually unifying the world. Of course, if she wishes, it's not impossible for me to act."

Xiao Bing was skeptical.

These words... seemed to have a little bit of logic.

Yes, just a little bit.

Because she felt like he was trying to fool her with all this talk.

"Mister isn't actually an expert hidden from the world, right? You're just using the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty's alliance to fool Xiao Bing, aren't you?"

Chu Ning smiled faintly and gave Xiao Bing a hint.

"Then why would the Great Zhou Dynasty form an alliance with the Great Gan Dynasty? Isn't it because of an expert hidden from the world like me?"

"The Imperial Sovereign is joking. It's difficult for you to even leave the Imperial Palace. The Great Zhou Dynasty is thousands of miles away; even if Your Majesty were to go, it would take half a day."

Chu Ning waved his hand, his expression calm, his eyes seeming to see through the ancient heavens.

"Practicing the body resembles a crane's form, two scrolls of scripture beneath a thousand pine trees."

"I come to ask questions, but there's nothing left to say. The clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle."

"Xiao Bing, your Realm is still too low; you don't understand me."

Then, he let out a long sigh, adopting the demeanor of a reclusive master.

Xiao Bing looked at the cultivation technique, then at Chu Ning.

The technique was real; it was indeed a cultivation method for Heavenly Dao power. However, she felt Chu Ning's masterly image was fake, just a way to fool people.

You're so powerful, why do you still seem so afraid of Your Majesty...?

And you say the matters of the Great Zhou Dynasty are because of you? How did you get involved with these things? You've been in the Imperial Palace these past few days, either accompanying Your Majesty or resting.

Besides, Chu Ning hasn't shown anything yet, so how can she believe him?

"Can Xiao Bing tell Your Majesty about this matter?"

"Not for now. Of course, if you say I'm a reclusive master, correcting Qinglian's impression of me is fine, but absolutely do not mention the cultivation technique."

"Why?"

"Because I wrote this cultivation technique on a whim."

"The one prepared for Qinglian has taken me too long to deduce. It will likely take some more time to finish. I'm afraid she'll think I'm playing favorites and cause a misunderstanding."

Cultivating the Sword Dao, naturally, the Sword Dao is primary.

The physique, possessing the Heavenly Fragrance Physique, must also be utilized.

As a mighty Immortal Emperor, how could he not deduce a perfect cultivation technique, one that could lead to the Great Emperor realm?

As for Xiao Bing's... he gave it to her casually. But for cultivating the Dao Extreme or something similar, it should be fine. The technique is just a bit special, allowing for faster cultivation. Due to its special and unique nature, it's impossible to find such a technique in all the myriad worlds.

If what he gave Xiao Bing was so potent, wouldn't he be even more meticulous with what he gave his wife?

Xiao Bing admitted.

For a fleeting moment, she had doubted if Chu Ning was truly a reclusive master.

But now, she no longer did.

The Imperial Sovereign is clearly just fooling people...

But this cultivation technique...

"Then will Xiao Bing go and explain this matter to Your Majesty?"

She asked tentatively, and he nodded.

He didn't need to quibble over such matters with Ye Qinglian.

"Of course, just don't mention the cultivation technique."

"Alright, Mister. Then how should I explain my breakthrough?"

Chu Ning looked at Xiao Bing and said calmly.

"Just say that today, you received guidance from a reclusive master like me and suddenly broke through. If Qinglian also wishes for it, tell her to come to my room at midnight, and I will teach her hand-in-hand..."

Xiao Bing's face instantly flushed crimson!

No wonder Your Majesty always wants to execute the Imperial Sovereign... What he says is completely improper!

"Then Xiao Bing will go..."

Otherwise, she wouldn't know what else to say. Such words should be spoken privately between you two!

At the same time, within the Imperial Palace.

Fang Houren was reporting on recent events.

"After those from the Imperial Observatory were completely killed, the Great Zhou Dynasty made such a move. It's truly strange..."

"Your Majesty, this old man would like to ask, do you have any other hidden arrangements, perhaps with high cultivation?"

Deterrence is the best way to solve problems, and it must be a powerful entity providing the deterrence to make sense of it.

Ye Qinglian shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of self-mockery.

"How could a reclusive master fancy the Great Gan Dynasty? If they were to go, they would go to Great Zhou, not here."

"Then that's strange..."

Just then, Xiao Bing hurried over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Imperial Sovereign is claiming to be a reclusive master again..."

Both of them were in Mingde Hall. Upon hearing this, the elder remained silent, finding it utterly ridiculous, but out of respect for Your Majesty's dignity, he couldn't say it directly.

Ye Qinglian couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Just treat him as an expert from beyond the mortal realm, and don't offend him."

"No, Your Majesty, please listen to this servant..."
