Jinzhou City.
At this moment, Liang Sheng “died” again, a death that is extremely low-key, attracting no one’s notice.
By this time, Liang Sheng had returned to his youthful appearance. He now stands in front of his own tombstone, feeling exceptionally tranquil.
Initially, he came to Jinzhou City by following a subtle intuition. After living there for sixty years, he felt it was a satisfying experience.
Even until now he still doesn’t know why he had that intuition to return to Jinzhou City, but during the sixty years in Jinzhou City, his cultivation speed was indeed slightly faster than it was in other places before.
Maybe it’s because of his different mindset? Or perhaps the geomancy pattern of Jinzhou City is more in line with his destiny?
Liang Sheng didn’t know for sure, but since it was a good thing, he naturally didn’t pursue it further, believing that time would eventually present the answer.
Ever since Zhou Qianming returned to the royal capital, Shenzong fulfilled his promise by bestowing the Emperor’s Sword and conferring the title of the Champion Marquis. This position does not conflict with the hereditary princely rank, causing a sensation nationwide.
But a twenty-year-old martial arts prodigy indeed deserved such glory, filling the citizens with jubilation.
Because it signifies the prosperous fortunes of Great Zhou. With such a powerful country, how could the people of Great Zhou not be happy?
However, the people of Great Zhou didn’t know that Liang Sheng’s wood carvings indeed had some magical properties for the Zhou family bloodline.
Perhaps it’s their sensitivity towards seeking fortune and avoiding evil that allowed them to better comprehend the essence of the wood carving, somehow leading to several breakthroughs in their cultivation in just over a month thereafter.
Though the proportion isn’t high considering the total number of the royal family, it still brought considerable joy to the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
Meanwhile, people discovered that the most recent among the myriad wood carvings was from just a few months prior.
What this meant, many people understood clearly. Hence, Emperor Shendi of Great Zhou issued a special decree, ordering an investigation in Jinzhou City to locate the carving master.
In the face of such a situation, Liang Sheng had no choice but to fake his death again. Since the identity of the carver had been seen by quite a few people, and this was after all the Great Zhou Royal Family with whom he already had a karmic connection, why would he want to get involved again?
Still, Liang Sheng had no intention of leaving Jinzhou City because there were still spiritual plants planted in the rarely frequented area outside the city, which he couldn’t give up.
In addition, he had been cultivating at a faster speed in Jinzhou City these years. He might not know the reason, but he certainly wouldn’t leave without reason.
Furthermore, who would have guessed the craftsmen who seemed so old before would now look like a vibrant young man?
Consequently, Liang Sheng’s life became peaceful once again. The grand-scale search in Jinzhou City had nothing to do with him. Over the following years, Jinzhou City officials never stopped searching.
This was a mission given by the emperor himself. Even if it seemed hopeless, who would give up? After all, if successful, they could shoot to fame.
But how could they possibly find this mysterious carver? So, all they could do was leave behind the legend of a hidden master, which made the Great Zhou royal family wish they could have met him earlier.
However, all of this was now irrelevant to Liang Sheng. He still lived leisurely, cultivating, drawing talismans, refining pills, and practicing the curse imprinting technique.
Finally, in Shenzong’s forty-ninth year, Liang Sheng, who was already over 500 years old, was exhilarated and hurriedly ran into the deep mountain forest.
Because he felt that the breakthrough was going to happen today, he was being so cautious. After all, causing a stir within the city might have drawn unnecessary trouble. Although he wasn’t afraid, why flaunt it?
Although he regretted not breaking through at the age of 500, he was still excited right now. How things would be after foundation establishment, he would know it today.
Liang Sheng sat cross-legged in the deep mountain forest this time. After calming his excited mood, he took out the last mid-grade spiritual stone from the storage bag.
In the past few years, he had almost exhausted his spiritual stones, leaving only one mid-grade spiritual stone for this moment.
The next moment, a powerful spiritual energy inside the stone was injected into his body along his meridians. The Upper Pure Immortal Scripture revolved at a rapid rate, and when it reached its maximum speed, it felt like a tense thread suddenly broke.
In an instant, a tremendous force was born within his body. The spiritual power circulated within his body was more than twice as powerful as before. However, when Liang Sheng opened his eyes, his face was extremely pale.
He indeed had a breakthrough!
But he hadn’t established the foundation yet, he was still in the Qi Condensation stage.

At this stage, Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer made no progress, just as when he broke through the innate limit. Liang Sheng composed himself, feeling a bit helpless.
He remembered the news that Zhou Hua and others had previously ventured into the Cultivation World market to gather information, even loose cultivators who had reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer pledged to serve the sect.
All because they wanted a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Some loose cultivators did possess the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but after spending countless hours just to barely reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, those without resources, how much time would they have left to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?
Throughout the ages, countless Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer loose cultivators have failed at this stage. Moreover, even if they had the Foundation Establishment Pill, they only had a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even sect disciples who took the Foundation Establishment Pill might fail to achieve a breakthrough, and then fall into decline, like the market manager of the Hua Tian Sect’s market once was..
