Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

But even so, the third flower was still a chasm that she could not cross. Even in Qingzhou, when her husband asked her to kill Huang Taiji and obtain part of the Qing Dynasty's national fortune, she could only condense the third flower into a bud and it could not bloom.

If the three flowers are incomplete, it cannot be completely perfect. Even if you are promoted to a grandmaster, you cannot become a perfect grandmaster.

My husband said that the third flower has nothing to do with talent, but with fate.

Without enough luck and the destiny of the three flowers, no matter how extraordinary one's martial arts talent is, it is impossible for him to become a perfect master.

This made her a little distressed.

She knew that her husband had killed Mu Dao Ren and had won the favor of heaven and earth. With good fortune, it was only a matter of time for him to become a perfect master or even a grand master.

Even the legendary realm of heaven and man is possible with your husband's ability.

She didn't care that she was not as strong as her husband. Being pinned down by her husband was not something she could not accept. On the contrary, she was happy to be the little woman under her husband.

But she was afraid that she would not be able to become a perfect master, and the gap between her and her husband would become wider and wider, and she would not be able to keep up with him.

When she thought about the day in the future when her husband would become a high and mighty celestial being, and she, Yao Yue, would only be able to exhaust her lifespan and die with white hair in front of his eyes...

When she thought of these scenes, Yao Yue felt a little crazy.

She couldn't accept becoming an old woman, and she was even more afraid of facing her husband's disgusted eyes in the future!

Just as Yao Yue was rubbing her forehead and worrying about her third flower, her sister's voice came from outside the palace.

"Sister, Master has come out of seclusion and seems to be in a bad condition. She asked me to ask you to go see her!"

"Out of seclusion?"

Yao Yue frowned, calmed herself down, opened the palace gate, took her sister Lian Xing's hand, and walked towards the place where her master was in seclusion.

"Sister, Master must have failed in his breakthrough and is about to die."

Lian Xing whispered, "Before she dies, Master will probably tell you something. Master has always had a bad temper. Considering how much she has taught us over the years, if what she says is unpleasant..."

Yao Yue waved her hand. "I know. Even though our relationship isn't deep, she's my master after all. We've been master and disciple for a while. I'll definitely let her leave in a dignified manner."

Chapter 278 I’m getting married, so I have to bring some dowry, right?

Pushing open a palace door, Yao Yue and Lian Xing stepped in under the awe-filled gazes of the servants outside.

"Disciple, you're here!"

A weak voice came from the inner hall.

An old woman sat up from the jade bed and drew aside the curtain. A smile appeared on her wrinkled old face.

Seeing this face, Yao Yue inexplicably remembered what she would look like a hundred years from now. Her heart trembled, and her fear of aging increased a little more.

The master was already very old. She once mentioned it unintentionally and said that she had lived for nearly two hundred years.

The master was quite proud of himself at that time. After all, at this age, he was considered long-lived among the masters.

A martial arts master can only draw on the power of heaven and earth, and his strength is stronger than that of an innate martial artist, but the gap in the essence of life is not so big that it is insurmountable.

Unless one can be promoted to a grandmaster, master the laws of heaven and earth, and elevate the level of life, life span will not increase significantly.

"Master failed to break through to Grandmaster!"

There was a hint of regret in the old palace master's eyes.

"Logically speaking, if one's lifespan exceeds a hundred years, there's basically no hope of becoming a Grandmaster. But I refuse to accept this. Over the years, I've tried almost every ten years, but unfortunately, I've failed every time."

She sighed, "I didn't believe in fate before. I always thought that even if my fate was determined, there would definitely be a glimmer of hope. But now, I accept my fate."

Yao Yue pondered and said, "Master, logically speaking, my Yihua Palace belongs to the Holy Land of Martial Arts. You are the master of this generation of Holy Land, so your martial arts qualifications are definitely among the best.

You have the qualifications, the techniques, and the resources, but why…"

"You want to ask why I didn't become a Grandmaster before I turned a hundred, right?"

Yaoyue nodded.

"Actually, there's nothing I can't say. It's just a little embarrassing."

A look of reminiscence appeared on the old palace master's wrinkled face.

"When my master, your great master, accepted me as his disciple, I was only seven years old."

"I have been practicing in Yihua Palace for more than 20 years. At the age of 30, I became a Shuanghua Grandmaster, and the best one at that. Your master speculated that under normal circumstances, as long as I don't slack off, there is a high probability that I can become a Grandmaster before the age of 60.

Even if there are some deviations, there will be no problem in becoming a Grand Master before the age of 100.

Therefore, your master passed the position of Palace Master to me with confidence, and then went out to sea to travel around the world.

Over a hundred years later, I haven't seen her again. I don't know whether she is alive or dead.

But I think she's probably still alive. After all, your great-grandmaster is a great master who founded the Yihua Palace Holy Land and was recognized by the imperial court. He's powerful and has a long lifespan, not a short-lived person like me."

Yao Yue uttered an "oh" and smiled faintly, "Then, Master, how did you end up like this?"

“Because of men!”

The old Palace Master looked exhausted, and her voice was very low. "After taking over the position of Palace Master, I couldn't resist the yearning for the outside world, so I left the palace to travel. Then, I met a man who I still can't forget."

Yaoyue and his sister Lianxing exchanged a glance, then stroked his chin and analyzed, "Master, you met a scumbag who cheated on you and your body, and then abandoned you?"

The old palace master: “…”

You just met a scumbag, your whole family is a scumbag!

“No, he and I had a very good relationship. We knew each other, loved each other, and stayed together. But when I was sixty years old, he failed in his attempt to break through to the Grandmaster realm and died from demonic possession.

His death left a deep shadow on me, leaving me feeling spiritually incomplete as a teacher. Since then, I've wasted decades and even missed the best opportunity for promotion."

Yao Yue was in awe. She had thought it was a story about a scumbag who deceived the feelings of a saint, but it turned out to be a story about a pure love god who was hurt by love and even delayed his cultivation.

My husband said that I was a yandere version of the pure love god of war, so what version is my master like?

"What is love in this world? It makes people pledge to be together through life and death!"

Yao Yue said with emotion, "Master, don't worry. After you leave, I will definitely bury you and my master together. You won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"

The old palace master lowered his eyes and snorted coldly, "Stop laughing at me here. With your intelligence, you should understand what I am saying!"

The smile on Yao Yue's face faded, "Master, are you going to pass the position of Palace Master to me?"

"I will pass it on to you, but you have to agree to one request from me!"

Yao Yue didn't say anything, just stared at her.

The old Palace Master said to himself, "As long as you are willing to swear that you will never marry and never have feelings for any man, I will pass on the position of the third generation Palace Master of Yihua Palace to you!

Furthermore, I will also tell you all the secrets of the Yihua Palace!"

Yao Yue shook her head.

"You don't agree?" The old palace master's face darkened.

"Why should I agree?" Yao Yue said expressionlessly, "You've enjoyed the pleasures of love, yet now you're demanding others not enjoy them. Are you playing double standards with me?"

"Yao Yue! I'm your master!" The old palace master's eyes were filled with anger, "Look at you, you don't even seem to respect your teacher at all!"

"Master!"

Yao Yue glanced at her and said, "I call you Master to save your face. The relationship between you and me as master and disciple is not that deep!"

"Master, this is for your own good!"

The old palace master sighed and said, "Love between men and women is the most hurtful. Whether it's true love or tragic, it always makes people sad. If you don't handle it well, the path of martial arts will be cut off!

Do you also want to follow the old path of a teacher, stuck at the threshold of Grandmaster for over a hundred years without making any progress, and finally become a white-haired old woman withered by beauty?"

Yao Yue's expression remained unchanged, "Even so, I will marry him!"

A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She stared at the old palace master and said in a deep voice: "Calculating the time, it probably won't be long before he comes to marry me. I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Whoever stops me will be my mortal enemy. Master, please don't make things difficult for your disciple!"

The old Palace Master stared at her, silent for a long moment, then snorted, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. The position of Palace Master is now out of your reach!"

She turned to look at Lian Xing beside her, her expression softening. "If you swear to remain unmarried for the rest of your life, I will pass on the position of Palace Master to you!"

Lian Xing shook her head, pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't dare to snatch my sister's things!"

puff! !

The old Palace Master spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Yao Yue, "You said you would voluntarily give up the position of Palace Master and give it to Lian Xing. Say it now!"

"That won't do!" Yao Yue shook her head and refused again, "I'm getting married, so I have to bring some dowry, right?

He wants to be the commander of the Xuanyi Guards, and as the master of the Holy Land Yihua Palace, it would be a great honor for him, right?"

Chapter 279 If God doesn’t give it to me, then I will take it myself!

The scene of Master's furious anger that Yao Yue had anticipated did not happen.

The old palace master just stared at her with a gloomy expression, but when he saw the nonchalant look on the face of his traitor, he couldn't help but laugh.

With a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, she said with emotion, "You are the sixth disciple I have accepted. Back then, I also asked them not to marry, but unfortunately, not a single one was willing to obey."

As she spoke, she looked at Yaoyue with a playful expression, "But among these disciples, Yaoyue, you are the most rebellious one!"

The faint smile on Yao Yue's face faded, and she said in a deep voice, "You already knew my personality long before you accepted me as your disciple. It's meaningless to call me rebellious now.

Master, can you tell me where your former disciples are now?

A rare blush appeared on the old Palace Master's face, which was as wrinkled as tree bark. He laughed strangely, "You are so smart, you should have guessed it, right?"

She pointed to the basement of the hall and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you will be there to accompany them soon!"

Yao Yue's expression turned cold. "So when you accepted me as your disciple, from the very beginning, you were planning to use me as a cauldron?"

Mingyu Gong is very powerful, and is not inferior to the Lu family's unique skills.

Especially when one cultivates to the last level of Yihua Jieyu, one can absorb the power of others for one's own use, which is somewhat like a magic technique.

Now it seems that the master accepted her as a disciple and taught her the Mingyu Gong in the first place so that she could absorb his true energy to prolong her life when necessary.

The old palace master laughed and said, "You are not a good person either. Don't think I don't know. First you set your sights on the magic sword, Bixue Zhaodanqing, and now you want to use Yihua Palace as a dowry.

You're thinking about my Yihua Palace's wealth, but you don't know that I've been thinking about your life from the beginning!"

She looked at Yao Yue with satisfaction, "Among all the disciples I've accepted, you are the one that I'm most satisfied with, the one with the best aptitude, and the one that best fits the Mingyu Gong technique.

Our skills are of the same origin. After draining you dry, I won't even need to refine my true energy, and there won't be any risk of going astray. I can extend my life by at least twenty years.

"In order to find a suitable disciple like you, I spent nearly ten years of effort. Now, the time has finally come to reap the rewards!"

Yao Yue looked at her quietly, "Are you not afraid at all?

Standing behind me is the Lu family of the imperial capital. My husband is the next commander of the Xuanyi Guard.

Do you think you can survive by killing me?"

"I'm scared!" The old palace master said frankly, "Very scared, very scared! Ever since I learned about your background, I've been very troubled over the years and even left the palace to try to find other disciples.

But unfortunately, Mingyu Gong has very strict requirements on qualifications. Apart from you sisters, it is very difficult to find a suitable disciple.

As a teacher, I am old and don’t have much time to waste on finding disciples.

There's nothing I can do. No matter how scared I am, I have no choice but to sacrifice you two in order to survive!"

She looked at Yao Yue greedily, "You are the most beautiful flower I have ever cultivated, and also my most proud work of art. I have a feeling that after sucking you sisters dry, I will definitely be able to enter the realm of Grandmaster!"

What destiny! What hundred-year limit! So what?

If Heaven won't give it to me, then I'll take it myself! With over two hundred years of Mingyu Qi, I can pile it up to the level of a Grandmaster!

"I've become a Grandmaster, so what if the Black Guards are powerful? The world is so big, I can just find a place to hide, who can do anything to me?"

Yao Yue stared at her master in a daze.

If destiny doesn’t give it to me, then I should take it myself?

She subconsciously looked up at the sky outside the hall, her heart pounding, and the third flower in her sea of ​​consciousness that had not yet bloomed was faintly beating.

Looking at her master again, there was a rare trace of admiration on her face.

"Master, what you said is so good. After listening to your words, the problem that has been weighing on my mind for a long time has finally been solved!

A master is a master, teaching and guiding, and I admire him greatly!"

At this moment, she finally understood her future path.
