"Old Luo, do you think I should really start calling Senior Huangtian 'Ninety-Nine Master's Wife' from now on?"
In the rebuilt courtyard, Xiao Tianzuo secretly glanced at Zhou Xingdou, who was surrounded by women on both sides, but dared not disturb this harmonious scene. He asked Luo Bailian beside him.
Luo Bailian looked at Xiao Tianzuo with an expression as if he were an idiot, but still explained:
"That's a joke. The Lord doesn't even have ninety-nine wives yet. Empress Huangtian should still be in the top ten."
Xiao Tianzuo suddenly realized, and said with an "I see" expression:
"Then she should be called Tenth Master's Wife!"
Luo Bailian was stunned for a moment, then slapped Xiao Tianzuo on the back of the head:
Are you stupid?
Xiao Tianzuo, who had just been slapped, cried out in pain and quickly rubbed his head.
"What's wrong with you? This isn't right!"
Luo Bailian looked at him with a disappointed expression and said:
"Do you really have to add a number? Just call her 'Teacher's Wife' all the time!"
"It's only because the Qing mistress is a good person that she doesn't care about these things. If you were a mistress with a bad temper, and you called her 'Master's Wife' with a number added to her name, she would have chopped you up with a sword before she even had a chance to do so!"
Luo Bailian explained with a sense of helplessness that, in his opinion, Xiao Tianzuo was good in every way, but he always seemed a bit silly. If he were in the Chuyuan, he would probably be eaten alive.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianzuo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he slapped his thigh:
"Yes, just call her 'Teacher's Wife'!"
But just then, Zhou Xingdou's indifferent, deep voice rang out in the courtyard:
"Just call her 'Teacher's Wife' all you need to do."
Luo Bailian's body trembled instantly, only then realizing that the three figures in the air had disappeared. He hurriedly bowed behind him.
"Welcome back, Lord and Mistresses!"
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly. He wouldn't blame Luo Bailian for such a trivial matter, especially since Luo Bailian was quite right.
Luo Bailian felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He silently shrugged off Xiao Tianzuo and walked to a corner without making a sound, as if he wanted people to ignore him.
Xiao Tianzuo also quickly bowed to Zhou Xingdou, Qing Yanjing, and the Desolate Heaven Empress:
"Greetings, Master, Mistress Qing, Mistress Huang."
Xiao Tianzuo originally liked to kowtow and pay respects, but Zhou Xingdou, in order to prevent his disciple from becoming a kowtowing machine, instructed him to only perform the usual master-disciple etiquette when he saw him, otherwise kowtowing all day would easily form muscle memory.
When Luo Bailian saw Xiao Tianzuo address his teacher's wife with his surname, he secretly gave him a thumbs up. Sure enough, Xiao Tianzuo understood immediately and could apply what he learned to other situations, which made Luo Bailian extremely gratified.
Qing Yanjing and Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly in agreement, only the Desolate Empress looked at Xiao Tianzuo and snorted coldly:
"You hang out with Lao Luo all day, and I heard from your Master Qing's wife that you still haven't broken through to the Refinement Technique. You still dare to talk about me like this? Do you think you're worthy of the Great Palm Heaven Technique that your master stole for you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianzuo's face fell, and he cried out that he was wronged:
"I'm innocent! I broke through to the Refinement Realm when you left. However, Master Qing was cultivating in seclusion on the mountain. Old Luo and I thought it wasn't a big deal, so we didn't dare to disturb her."
Although he has been a bit playful lately and not as diligent as before, he has not slacked off.
As he spoke, Xiao Tianzuo released his concealed cultivation, and a genuine aura of refining techniques emanated from his body.
Seeing this, Zhou Xingdou was also slightly amazed, but not because of Xiao Tianzuo's progress. In the current environment, with the Great Palm Heaven Technique and Zhang Santian's cultivation experience, if Xiao Tianzuo could not break through, he could just kill himself.
To Zhou Xingdou's surprise, he only realized now that he hadn't sensed Xiao Tianzuo's aura of cultivation earlier, but only now that Xiao Tianzuo had deliberately released it.
Although Zhou Xingdou could have found out if he had suggested trying to probe Xiao Tianzuo's realm, it was already abnormal enough.
It should be noted that Zhou Xingdou is currently cultivating the Dao of the Heavens, and even without special attention, his insight is far beyond that of ordinary people.
What puzzled Zhou Xingdou even more was that Xiao Tianzuo seemed to be connected with heaven and earth just now, and his aura seemed to be integrated into the world, which is why Zhou Xingdou did not notice his change.
"You've mastered the Great Palm Heavenly Technique?"
Zhou Xingdou's eyes, swirling with purple energy, narrowed as he looked at Xiao Tianzuo and asked.
Xiao Tianzuo chuckled smugly, then bowed to Zhou Xingdou and said:
"Reporting to Master, not yet. It's only at the minor completion stage, but it's just one step away from the major completion stage."
This is absolutely insane!
Zhou Xingdou had only one thought in his mind at that moment.
Although he had incorporated Zhang Santian's cultivation insights into the crystal, having insights did not mean that Xiao Tianzuo could directly master the Great Palm Heaven Technique.
He still needs to digest and compare the techniques step by step to cultivate the Great Palm Heaven Technique, but the difficulty is slightly lower, not that there is no difficulty at all.
Moreover, it has only been a short time since he obtained the Great Palm Heaven Technique, and he even accidentally broke through his enlightenment once during that time. Now he is only one step away from achieving mastery.
If that enlightenment had gone smoothly, would the Great Palm Heaven Technique have been mastered by now?
Not only Zhou Xingdou, but also the Desolate Heaven Empress was stunned for a moment, and the area fell silent.
However, the Desolate Empress seemed to adapt better to this situation. After a while, her expression returned, and she still let out a cold snort:
"What good is a high level of cultivation? If you unleash your current power, it wouldn't even cause a ripple in the desolate heavens. How dare you slack off!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianzuo immediately dropped his smug expression and hurriedly bowed to the Desolate Heaven Empress, saying:
“Mrs. Ara is right, Tensuke knows he was wrong.”
"Alright, so be it. Cultivation isn't just about burying your head in your work. You have to be focused when you need to be focused, and relaxed when you need to relax."
Stephen Chow never imagined he would one day have to play the good cop and smooth things over.
However, he was already satisfied with Xiao Tianzuo's progress, and there was no point in constantly pressuring him to cultivate.
If someone had to work hard to cultivate before becoming my disciple, and continues to work hard to cultivate after becoming my disciple, then wasn't becoming my disciple a waste?
Even if I will eventually leave, I am still here now, so no one in the world can threaten Xiao Tianzuo. Why not give him a period of easy and happy time?
Upon learning that the peak of the Initial Realm was only comparable to the sixth transformation of a Quasi-Emperor, Zhou Xingdou felt no longer threatened.
Qing Yanjing, at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, possessed the seventh level of the Dao Realm, equivalent to the third transformation of the Quasi-Emperor realm. His combat power far surpassed that of the sixth transformation of the Quasi-Emperor realm. In this desolate heaven where all three origins had perished, nothing could threaten him.
Moreover, it seems that the Heavenly Venerables of other Heavenly Realms are probably only half-Emperors at best. And according to the Desolate Heavenly Empress, once they leave the Heavenly Realm of Integration, even the Heavenly Venerables are only slightly stronger at the beginning.
In this way, as long as he doesn't leave the desolate place, he won't be in any danger, so there's no need for him to be cautious.
Moreover, in a short period of time, his luck value has already climbed to over 220,000, not far from 360,000, so there's no need to rush anything.
Perhaps I should set aside some time to teach my disciple, who is the Son of the World, firstly to deepen our relationship, and secondly to see if I can gain some luck points along the way.
