Chapter 825: Chapter 324: Taking the Initiative (Double-Length Chapter)_4
We hadn’t yet launched our final attack on the mountain, but just to trap him there, they had already paid the price of losing one Seventh Layer Heaven Cultivator and two Sixth Layer Heaven Cultivators.
Tang Xiaotang turned to Lei Jun and asked, "However, how old is he this year? Can he reach the Eightfold Heaven Realm before fifty?"
Lei Jun replied, "That General Shen is eight years younger than me, so he should be forty-eight this year.
As far as I know, he reached the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm fourteen years ago at the age of thirty-four."
Tang Xiaotang seemed regretful, "Then with his injuries this time, he probably won’t reach the Eightfold Heaven Realm before fifty."
Both she and Lei Jun could see that Shen Qubing had accumulated quite a lot.
Especially this time in the Earth Sea, his sharpness and edge were honed to the extreme.
This is quite crucial for a Martial Tao cultivator.
Based on his innate talent and abilities, Shen Qubing has a significant chance to quickly ascend to the Eightfold Heaven.
However, although he nourished his edge in the Earth Sea, he got severely injured while breaking out from Xiongbo Mountain and continued to fight for a long time afterwards, which hindered his recovery.
After the battle, emerging from the Earth Sea, he needed to spend some time healing his injuries.
Lei Jun said, "People tend to use fifty and a hundred years as benchmarks to assess the progress and potential of young cultivators, but it’s just a rough estimation; a few years’ difference doesn’t matter much."
After all, the golden opportunity period for the Upper Three Heavens cultivators is at the age of two hundred.
Different people have different encounters; even those with the same talent may advance quicker at one stage, then overtake again at a later stage. A few years’ difference is usual, only differences of ten or even dozens of years are worth discussing.
However, clearly, a certain Celestial Master doesn’t view it this way.
Her eyes widened: "A year’s difference is significant!"
Lei Jun chuckled, "Little Martial Sister, you are naturally different; you reached the Eightfold Heaven Realm at the age of thirty."
Tang Xiaotang then coughed lightly in satisfaction, "Better, better."
She asked Lei Jun, "Indeed, how is the progress of your External Scenery of the Divine Court?"
Lei Jun replied, "With the help of Purple Mansion Mist, I am confident I can achieve the External Scenery within a few years, not exceeding the age of sixty.
The Imperial Court also sent Innate Dual Essence, so it may speed up a little more, but I do not intend to rush it.
With the Innate Dual Essence, some of my initial plans regarding the External Scenery of the Divine Court can be put into practice; I will consolidate it."
"Oh?"
Tang Xiaotang smiled at his words, "Hurry, hurry, I’m more and more curious about your External Scenery of the Divine Court."
Lei Jun said, "I’ll accept your good words, Little Martial Sister."
Tang Xiaotang ultimately didn’t rush to find Li Yan right away.
Instead, she chose to first go into seclusion to ponder her own Taoist Laws and divine skills.
This time, Lei Jun also didn’t continue to preside over the affairs in the mansion like before.
Officially, it was said that after returning from the Earth Sea, Elder Lei’s health wasn’t well, and he was currently in seclusion to recuperate.
Therefore, all daily affairs of the mansion were managed by Yuan Mobai, Shangguan Ning, and Zhang Jingzhen.
In seclusion, Lei Jun both calmly nurtured his Divine Court, continually perfecting it, and began solemnly refining the Ziwei Sword obtained from the Earth Sea.
With the foundation laid by Chen Donglou and the existence of the Seven-Star Sword, Lei Jun was able to establish a deeper connection with the Ziwei Sword through the cultivation of the Taoist Talisman Sect.
However, it was precisely during this process that Lei Jun vaguely sensed others were also searching for this treasure through the Ziwei Sword itself.
The opponent possibly also held some clues related to the Ziwei Sword.
With the help of the Dark Side of the Celestial Book, when Lei Jun acquired the Ziwei Sword, he didn’t alert the opponent, nor could they detect that the Ziwei Sword actually had a master.
But as time passed, the opponent’s progress became greater and their connections more direct.
Lei Jun didn’t obstruct this.
The Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript flickered in his eyes, growing increasingly bright.
After returning to the Mortal World, the Great Celestial Mirror spun on the firmament, first sweeping towards the west.
It wasn’t over at the Mount Shu Sect... Lei Jun was confident.
The mirror light flickered, unable to obtain a clear result.
This indicated the opponent was deeply concealed in the mysteries of the void.
Thus, the most probable target was the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
Mortal Tao Country.
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
It seems the opportunity has come.
He immediately notified Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang to prepare together.
Then, Lei Jun donned the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat, carrying the Ziwei Sword, discreetly left the mountain.
