Friendships between women can be strange sometimes.
Some people, even though they've never met before, chat happily and seem very close, like old friends who've known each other for years.
However, Jing Zhe quickly came to a realization.
Why was Lu Li so resistant to Qiu Qianqian when he first met her, but so fond of Murong Xi when he first met her? It was simply because he was almost killed by Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader for treating Qiu Qianqian's injuries, so Lu Li's first impression of Qiu Qianqian was not good.
Furthermore, as a woman, Lu Li would certainly not feel close to any of the other women around Jing Zhe besides her sister, but Murong Xi is different because she is carrying Jing Zhe's child.
Or to put it more broadly, she was carrying the Jing family's child, which Lu Li had to take seriously. Moreover, Murong Xi was pregnant, yet she disregarded her own safety and led an army all the way to Jingzhou to rescue Jing Zhe. This kind of spirit was far beyond what ordinary people could match.
Based on these two points alone, Lu Li could see Murong Xi's infatuation and deep affection for Jing Zhe, which is why she was so close to him.
Because of Jing Zhe's appearance, going to Jingzhou to provide emergency relief became less important. In addition, the highest-ranking officers of both the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and the Yueyao Army were chatting idly. The soldiers, who had been traveling for many days, finally had a chance to rest. They all dismounted, set up camp, and prepared to rest and cook. The atmosphere was even better than if they had won a battle.
At this time, Jing Zhe had finished chatting with Wang De and when he returned, he found several women talking about things in Jingzhou.
Murong Xi was still somewhat worried and asked, "Since Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader are both Grandmasters now, the two of them alone are difficult to deal with. In addition, there is the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment. How can we take revenge?"
Actually, she was still worried about Jing Zhe, because she knew he would definitely seek revenge, but it was so dangerous, and she couldn't rest easy.
Jing Zhe stepped forward and gently patted Murong Xi's shoulder to comfort him, then said, "Mo Chen, didn't you just say that I could defeat both of them by myself without finding Master? Tell me why!"
Just as Su Mochen was getting to the crucial point, Liu Jinghong and Murong Xi appeared, interrupting them.
Su Mochen glanced at him and said, "As I just said, there are different levels of Grandmasters. People like Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader are probably at the peak of Grandmaster, while you are probably at the initial stage. Naturally, you are no match for them. But what if you break through to the peak of Grandmaster?"
Is there truly a realm above Grandmaster?
Jing Zhe had heard people mention it before, but he hadn't thought about it deeply because he thought it was all made up. After all, since he came from another world, the highest level of martial arts he had ever heard of was the Grandmaster, and the strongest person he had ever seen was also a Grandmaster. Where else could there be a realm above the Grandmaster?
Su Mochen nodded and said, "Indeed, there are."
So she continued, "I also heard it from my master. Ten years ago, he met a hermit in a deep mountain forest. He could sense that the old man was very strong, but he couldn't perceive his level of cultivation."
"..."
Jing Zhe was shocked because he knew that the old medicine boy from ten years ago had already entered the Grandmaster realm, but he could not sense the cultivation level of that hermit old man. How strong must the other party be?
"Later, Master fought with the old man, but to everyone's surprise, he couldn't even last a single move against him!"
"..."
Not only Jing Zhe, but also Lu Li and Pei Yunxi were stunned. A grandmaster couldn't even withstand a single move? Was the opponent even human?
Ignoring their shocked expressions, Su Mochen continued, "Master later learned from that old man that after breaking through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm, there is actually one last realm, which is the Great Perfection."
"Perfect World?"
The group murmured softly.
Su Mochen nodded and continued, "Yes, as he said, all martial artists know that the ultimate goal of martial arts is to become a Grandmaster, known as Lesser Perfection. But what they don't know is that after Lesser Perfection, there is Greater Perfection. However, for a martial artist, reaching the Grandmaster level in their entire life is already incredibly difficult, let alone Greater Perfection. If Master hadn't happened to meet him, he wouldn't have known about this Greater Perfection realm..."
"..."
Afterwards, Su Mochen recounted many of the conversations between the old medicine boy and the Great Perfection elder. People only knew that the Yueyao royal family had a Transformation Pill that could grant immortality, but they did not know that one could also achieve immortality after breaking through to the Great Perfection realm.
Of course, this immortality doesn't mean living for tens of thousands of years, but it does mean living for several hundred years. Once you reach the Great Perfection, the aging process of your body will slow down, thus achieving immortality, which is actually just temporarily delaying aging.
After hearing this, Jing Zhe was very eager for such a perfect realm. If he had a perfect realm, he could defeat Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader with just one move, and they would probably be dumbfounded.
At this moment, Lu Li asked, "Did your master ask how long it took that old man to reach the Great Perfection?"
"Three cycles of sixty years!"
"..."
Jing Zhe then asked, "How many years did it take him to reach the Lesser Perfection of the Grandmaster level?"
"It's a little over sixty years, maybe ten years more!"
"..."
After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
A cycle of sixty years is sixty years, three cycles of sixty years is one hundred and eighty years. The old man took seventy years to reach the Grandmaster level, and then took more than a hundred years to reach the Great Perfection. Fortunately, the Lesser Perfection can make people live for a hundred years longer, otherwise who could last that long?
Jing Zhe smiled wryly, "That's too difficult! If I wait until I reach the Great Perfection level before seeking revenge, I'm afraid the Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader will already be dead! You don't think I can reach the Great Perfection level in just a few days, do you? That's impossible!"
If your enemy dies of old age, what's the point of seeking revenge?
Su Mochen replied, "That's just other people, but you're different! When I met you half a year ago, you didn't know any martial arts at all! But now, you've become a grandmaster. What's impossible for you?"
Lu Li laughed after hearing this. She felt that Su Mochen was seeing beauty in the eye of the beholder. No matter how powerful Jing Zhe was, he couldn't possibly reach the level that the old man had taken a hundred years to achieve in just a few days, right?
Moreover, this old man is already a gifted individual; otherwise, why have we only seen one person at the Great Perfection stage over the years?
So Lu Li said, "Mo Chen, everyone is eager to take revenge, but when it comes to training, haste makes waste. Especially as you progress, breakthroughs become increasingly difficult. Besides strength, you also need to consider the right circumstances. Even if Zhe'er is powerful, it's a bit far-fetched for him to break through to the Great Perfection realm in just a few days. Let's think of another way!"
"..."
