The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

If that's really the case, then that's quite interesting.

This effectively reduces the difficulty of searching the world for the source of power.

However, Lu Ye thought this was normal.

After all, she was an empress, whose fame was renowned throughout the Nine Netherworlds. Just because Jiang Qingge looks like a fool now doesn't mean she was like that in her past life.

When he knew he was about to die, he might have left behind some backup plan.

The fact that the primal power is now actively seeking it out may be one of its backup plans.

"This is a good thing. Once you're familiar with your own power at the eighth level of the mortal realm, you'll have enough power to protect yourself even if someone tries to attack you later," Lu Ye said.

"Am I now stronger than the top sect leaders of the Northern Territory?" Jiang Qingge asked curiously.

Because she spent most of her time in the Northern Territory, the first thing Jiang Qingge thought of as a comparison to the outside world was the three once-renowned sects of the Northern Territory.

"It's not just stronger, it's become significantly stronger." Lu Ye smiled slightly.

Of the three major sects, the Azure Thunder Sect has long since disappeared. In recent years, it has become impossible to find any trace of the sect in the Northern Territory, and it has completely disappeared. Now that Lu Ye's temperament and realm are such that as long as he doesn't provoke him in the future, he is too lazy to go looking for the Azure Thunder Sect's hidden place.

As for the other sects, Chiyun Sect and Wanfa Sect, Xiao Qingyin is currently at the second level of the mortal realm, while Lu Ye estimates that the ancestor of Wanfa Sect should be at most at the third or fourth level of the mortal realm after a few years.

Compared to Jiang Qingge's current eighth level of the mortal realm, the gap is indeed huge.

Suddenly, Lu Ye remembered that there seemed to be someone else, also at the eighth level of the mortal realm...

Youluo.

She didn't send him any messages after that, and Lu Ye guessed that she might also be in seclusion for a long time.

Otherwise, given Youluo's personality, she shouldn't have been able to endure it for so long.

"I never imagined I could have such a high level of cultivation..." Jiang Qingge clenched her slender hands and asked curiously, "I feel like I could smash a mountain with one punch right now!"

Lu Ye shook his head, genuinely unaware of what his strength truly represented.

Let alone blowing up one mountain, we could blow up five.

It seems it's time to give her some real-world opportunities, otherwise she won't have any combat experience at all.

However, given her current lack of combat skills, it is not suitable for her to find a cultivator of the same level as an opponent.

After a moment's thought, an idea came to Lu Ye's mind...

Or, let her suppress her strength and practice against those mountain bandits in various places.
It seems that my first official battle also started with a group of mountain bandits.

Thinking it was feasible, Lu Ye said, "Your problem right now is that you lack practical experience."

"So, when you have some time in a couple of days, go find some bandits who are entrenched in various places. Suppress your strength and see if you can gain some practical experience."

Experience can be honed even in low-level battles. After all, deeper levels of experience are simply a matter of who is more cunning and has more trump cards up their sleeve.

Once you've mastered the basics, it becomes much easier to work on the details.

"Is this okay? I'll listen to you." Jiang Qingge asked curiously, and she also thought of what happened back then.

This man and his sister went out to escort goods together, but they were robbed by bandits on the way...

Looking back now, it's very likely that it was after this life-or-death battle that my sister began to treat this person in a completely different way.

So... those bandits really deserve to die!
As Jiang Qingge thought of this, a faint aura of killing intent actually began to emanate from her. Lu Ye, standing to the side, nodded slightly. He hadn't expected Jiang Qingge to get into the zone so quickly. She had only just heard that they were going to kill bandits to hone her combat experience, and she already showed signs of fighting spirit.

Not bad.

“I have time now, my husband, how about... we set off now? I’ve never gone on a long trip with you before,” Jiang Qingge said seriously.

"Okay, then pack your things, we'll be leaving soon."

Seeing that Jiang Qingge was currently very enthusiastic and seemed very interested in honing her skills, Lu Ye was happy to see it happen and immediately agreed.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two left their secluded dwelling.

Although he didn't have any information about the bandits in various places at the moment, Lu Ye already had a plan.

A moment later, Lu Ye took Jiang Qingge directly to a small town and began to inquire about the situation.

At first, the townspeople were too afraid to speak, and they all shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

After all, what if Lu and Ye were sent by bandits to deliberately extract information...?

They'll be the ones who suffer in the end.

However, many of the bandits in the area had committed numerous heinous acts, and there were many victims among them.

Hearing that people in town were inquiring about bandits, some who had been robbed of their property or children sought out Lu Ye and his companion with their last glimmer of hope.

"You mean there are bandits in the Xisha Mountains, two hundred miles away?" Lu Ye asked, seeing a gaunt middle-aged man.

"Yes, sir, what I said is true. My daughter was taken away by those beasts." After saying this, the emaciated man knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times.

"I don't know why you're asking this, but anyway, thank you both for your expertise!"

After saying that, the man got up and staggered away.

"These damned bandits are truly hateful. A perfectly good family has been torn apart like this." Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingge said in a low voice, this time with a hint of murderous intent.

"In that case, let's go and take a look at this fine sand mountain first," Lu Ye said after thinking for a moment.

The reason Lu Ye chose bandits as Jiang Qingge's training enemies was that he wanted to eradicate these malignant tumors in the northern border as much as possible.

Of course, this wasn't because I had nothing better to do; it was simply because I needed to improve Jiang Qingge, which is why I chose this task.

The next moment, two figures left the town.

Other passersby watched the two leave and immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Why do you think these two are trying to get involved by suddenly asking about this?"

"I wonder if he's learned some skills and is planning to roam the world, upholding justice?"

"Hey, it's normal for young people who are new to the world to have a sense of justice at first. After a while, they will realize the reality and stop being so reckless. Those bandits on Xisha Mountain are no ordinary people. Putting aside the people behind them, even their bandit leader is a Xiantian Realm expert!"

Innate Realm expert...

Upon hearing these words, many residents of the town trembled slightly.

For them, the most powerful experts they could usually encounter were only at this level. (End of Chapter)
