"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your understanding."
Chen Changming straightened up and spoke with deep gratitude.
Though this Martial Uncle of his came from the demonic path, she sincerely treated him well, and deserved the same sincerity in return.
A complicated look filled Elder Spirit Charm's eyes. She let out a soft sigh and said, "Martial Nephew, I'm also preparing to enter seclusion and cultivate, to see whether I can attempt a breakthrough into the Mahayana Realm..."
"Martial Uncle, you're going to attempt the Mahayana Realm too?"
Chen Changming asked in surprise.
Chu Qiushui was attempting the Mahayana Realm, and Elder Spirit Charm was doing the same. Two of the Three Elders of the Royal City were suddenly trying to cross this threshold—it was far too much of a coincidence.
"Yes. Since even Chu Qiushui isn't afraid of death, I might as well give it a try too."
Elder Spirit Charm glared, speaking defiantly.
She and Chu Qiushui had openly and secretly vied against each other for thousands of years. In nothing did she wish to fall behind Chu Qiushui.
The same was true for attempting the Mahayana Realm.
If Chu Qiushui dared to do it, so did she. If Chu Qiushui wasn't afraid of failure, neither was she.
"Martial Nephew offers his advance congratulations to Martial Uncle on breaking through to Mahayana!" Chen Changming clasped his hands and offered his blessings.
"It's not so easy to break through. Chu Qiushui must have already told you about it..."
Elder Spirit Charm waved a hand and deliberately said in an offhand manner, "I won't keep you any longer. Leave the city whenever you please. Once your Martial Uncle breaks through to the Mahayana Realm, I'll announce it to the entire continent. You can come celebrate for me then!"
