Chapter 1056: Chapter 669 Conspiracy_2 Chapter 1056 -669 Conspiracy_2 The two individuals possessed unspeakably terrifying strength.
It was a great honor for any ordinary family to have one of them as a protector, yet the Hua family in The Great Northwest, a single family, had four Great Grandmasters.
Such power surpassed even Chu Mo, which was why Chu Mo chose to temporarily avoid the conflict.
As swiftly as the confrontation in the hall had arisen, it dissipated even quicker.
When the scar-faced man confirmed that the elderly man before him had reached that terrifying level, he immediately withdrew his oppressive aura, and his two subordinates also ceased their actions.
Instantly, the initially tense hall returned to calm, as if the recent skirmish had never happened.
鈥淢aster, twenty years ago, you, esteemed elder, avoided assassination by donating billions in assets to us four.
...
We have all endured countless hardships to grow the businesses you entrusted to us, suffering immeasurably in the process.
Not to mention, twenty years ago we were yet unestablished.
To cope with the suppression from the eight major families, we even risked our lives to preserve our possessions.
Now, twenty years have passed.
We four have each achieved a certain level of success.
Normally, Master, if you wished to retrieve what belonged to you, we disciples would naturally have no reason to obstruct.
However, now not only do you want to take back your belongings, but you also intend to seize all the achievements we have toiled over for twenty years.
潡堭潣凁潣潡?co
Although this life of mine is yours, I believe I have repaid your kindness over the years.
Now that I have a family full of children and grandchildren, how can you take everything solely for yourself, leaving us with nothing?鈥
Hua Zhenyu spoke coldly, his voice marked by the scars on his face.
Twenty years earlier, he had fought fiercely for the old man standing before him, believing he had repaid the other鈥檚 kindness.
Now, twenty years later, that same person wanted to take everything he had worked hard for.
Hua Zhenyu, even if not for himself but considering his progeny, could not simply comply without contest.
The middle-aged man鈥檚 chilling words fell, and the elderly man seated cross-legged in the center of the hall suddenly spoke:
鈥淶henyu, do you know why you鈥檝e been stuck in the middle-ranking Grandmaster level for almost ten years without a breakthrough?鈥
The elder鈥檚 voice was ethereal, as if pervading the entire room, and after a moment, seeing that the scar-faced man did not reply, the old man murmured as if talking to himself:
鈥淶henyu, among my four disciples, you are the most intelligent and the hardest working.
Originally, I had anticipated that you would be the only one with the potential to reach the upper echelons of Great Grandmasters.
However, twenty years have passed, and not only you but all your fellow brothers remain trapped in the middle-ranking Grandmaster Realm.
I had foreseen this for your brothers, as their talents are limited to a single lifetime鈥檚 achievement, but Zhenyu, you have truly disappointed me.
Among your brothers, you possess the best talents.
If you were diligent enough, you should have broken through a few years ago, crossing that threshold.
However, your excessive focus on fame and gain has wasted much of your experiences, and because your mind is too cluttered, that鈥檚 why you鈥檝e been unable to make a breakthrough.鈥
The elder鈥檚 voice flowed smoothly.
Across from him, the scar-faced man merely sighed deeply, offering no rebuttal.
As the Family Head of the Hua Family in The Great Northwest, Hua Zhenyu naturally understood why his breakthrough had been so delayed.
His talents were exceptional, and among his fellow disciples, he had the best insight, accompanied by tremendous effort, thus leading his cultivation continuously ahead of others.
Nevertheless, twenty years ago, after taking over the industry in The Great Northwest, myriad pressures converged upon him, compounded by the immense pressure from the eight major families.
To protect himself, Hua Zhenyu focused on building his own power base.
He spent five years traveling throughout Hua Country, north and south, selecting four children with the best potential, taking them as disciples, and dedicating all his energies to nurturing them.
Even, to aid the progress of his four disciples, Hua Zhenyu personally tailored a cultivation technique for them, the 鈥淢ighty Tiger Five Forms.鈥
Ultimately, over twenty years, the four disciples gradually took shape, and the legendary 鈥淔our Tigers鈥 of The Great Northwest began to emerge.
Among these four disciples, the most powerful had already reached the pinnacle of a half-step Grandmaster, and even the weakest among them, known as 鈥淗ill descender Tiger,鈥 possessed the strength of a pinnacle half-step Grandmaster.
If being a master, Hua Zhenyu was undoubtedly extremely successful, he single-handedly trained three Great Grandmasters and one half-step Grandmaster; this achievement, when viewed in the entirety of Hua Country, was matched by few.
However, precisely because he had devoted too much of his experiences to the four Disciples, Hua Zhenyu ended up neglecting his own cultivation.
With his talents, he should have broken through to the higher Great Grandmaster level years ago, but now, he still stagnated at the peak middle Great Grandmaster level, and as time passed, not only had he not approached the higher Great Grandmaster realm, but he also increasingly felt powerless, as if he would never be able to break through.
At that moment, Hua Zhenyu looked at the two Disciples behind him, took a deep breath, then bowed to the elderly man in front of him and said,
鈥淒isciple is dull, I have disappointed Master, but I have never regretted my decision.
The achievements I couldn鈥檛 reach will instead be reached by my disciples.
I believe, among them, there must be one who can reach the peak!鈥
As Hua Zhenyu鈥檚 words fell, the elderly man on the ground suddenly shook his head, then the old man in a gray long gown spoke slowly,
鈥淚t is a pity, between a middle Great Grandmaster and an upper Great Grandmaster, although there is only a step difference, the subtleties are worlds apart.
Only by advancing to upper Great Grandmaster can one possibly reach that legendary realm.
Currently, looking across our entire Hua Country, there are only three people who have reached the upper Great Grandmaster level, among them, the strongest is Abbot Da Shi from Shaolin Temple.
Old monk Zhikong has been immersed in cultivation at Shaolin Temple for fifty years.
Twenty years ago, during the evaluation of the ten Grandmasters, he already reached the upper Great Grandmaster level, purportedly the number one in the whole Hua Country.
With twenty more years of enlightenment, old monk Zhikong has fully integrated all the martial arts of Shaolin, and he is now at his peak, just one step away from that legendary celestial realm.
Among the three upper Great Grandmasters, as your teacher, I should be the least talented.
I was fortunate to reach upper Great Grandmaster not because my talents were so great, but because twenty years ago, I let go of everything and had no stray thoughts, thus achieving sudden enlightenment.
This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.
As for the third upper Great Grandmaster, that person is quite special, wait until the day you reach this level, then you will understand by experiencing it firsthand!
In Hua Country, although we boast about the ten Grandmasters, it鈥檚 just like those celebrities on Forbes, only those who want to be recognized are known to the world, many more choose to remain anonymous.
To my knowledge, there should be about twenty-five Grandmasters in the entirety of Hua Country, subtracting the three upper Great Grandmasters, twelve lower Grandmasters, there are exactly ten middle Great Grandmasters.
Among the peak middle Great Grandmasters, apart from you, there is one of the ten Grandmasters, Jiang Dingnan, but this old fellow is too old and basically has no chance of a breakthrough.
Then there is the white-clothed swordsman from the Long family in Xiangjiang, this person is younger than you and has upper-level talents, he is the most likely to have a breakthrough.
As for the last peak middle Great Grandmaster, she is your junior sister, Xuanyuan Mingyue.
As for your four Disciples, although they all seem talented, you accelerated their growth too much; being middle Great Grandmasters is their limit in this life.
To break through, unless there鈥檚 a huge opportunity, it鈥檚 utterly impossible.
Zhenyu, I do have a method for you to truly break through and reach upper Great Grandmaster, and moreover, I guarantee that you will at least reach the peak upper Great Grandmaster.
Whether you can break through or not will depend on your own fate and choices!鈥
The soft words finished, amidst the heavy breathing of a scarred man across, the elderly man suddenly stood up, his voice ethereal said,
鈥淎s long as you agree to submit to my granddaughter Liu Liu, I will transfer all my cultivation to you, and within a week at most, I wish you a breakthrough to upper Great Grandmaster.鈥
