You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 85 The Appearance of a True Monarch!

"How could it be so fast?" Lu Guhong asked incredulously.

Even Lu Qingyan, who had been listening quietly to the side, looked over in surprise.

It is true that Lu Heng's improvement speed is too outrageous.

Where can one improve so quickly?

It should be noted that it has been less than a month since Lu Heng broke through to the proficient level of the "Basic Body Refining Method".

Even cultivation geniuses often need three months to complete this breakthrough.

"It's probably because I have a certain talent for comprehension. In fact, before my breakthrough, I had already studied the 'Basic Body Refining Method'..."

There has been a considerable amount of accumulation above.

After the breakthrough, due to the return of bloodline to its ancestral form, these accumulated skills were transformed into progress in the cultivation technique.

"That's why I was able to break through so quickly," Lu Heng explained casually.

It sounds ridiculous, and it actually is ridiculous.

But in the end, Lu Qingyan and Lu Guhong chose to believe.

It seems there is no other possibility.

It took Lu Heng almost a whole month to complete the Foundation Establishment.

Talent in this area cannot be faked, after all, even a mid-to-high level of cultivation talent in the outer academy doesn't actually attract much attention.

No matter how much you try to disguise it, there's no need to pretend to have below-average talent.

There is no other explanation besides atavism.

After arriving at the outer courtyard, the three agreed on a time and place seven days later before parting ways.

Lu Heng returned to his room in the outer courtyard alone.

"Your cultivation is about to break through to the late stage of the Body Refining Secret Realm, which means your 'Basic Body Refining Technique' is about to break through to the minor completion level."

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly appeared.

The remnant soul, which had been silently observing from the shadows inside Lu Heng's Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, suddenly asked a question.

Because it could only stay inside the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant and could not use its divine sense, the remnant soul did not know the level of Lu Heng's "Basic Body Refining Method" before Lu Heng showed it.

-

The only way to judge is by the boy's cultivation level.

Lu Heng did not answer immediately, but chose to continue listening.

The remnant soul's words were not unfounded; there must have been a reason behind them.

"Based on my observations over this period of time, your family is extremely insecure. Even the so-called 'Caged Bird Mark' is likely capable of controlling cultivators at the Refinement God True Person level."

However, just in case, they still chose to eliminate all the branch family geniuses who were capable of breaking through to the Refining God True Person level.

If you don't want to be stifled, you either have to hide your talents or willingly squander your potential.

The so-called head steward and second steward of the branch family should both be like this.

I was absolutely right.

The remnant soul has not yet traveled in this world due to its own limitations, but through the experiences and insights gained from Lu Heng, it has made accurate judgments based on its own perspective.

"That's right." Lu Heng had no reason to deny this.

After all, from beginning to end, because he had become a caged bird the moment he opened his eyes, he had never felt any sense of belonging to the Lu clan, nor did he consider himself a member of the Lu clan.

No matter what, he was a transmigrator, a visitor from another world.

Cognition is not so easily distorted or assimilated by the world.

"Are you ready?"

"The remnant soul inquired."

"What preparations?" Lu Heng was a little dazed for a moment. Having been in this world for so long, it seemed that similar questions had been raised many times.

"For any aspiring practitioner..."

If you want your cultivation path to be without any flaws, you at least need to upgrade the Body Refining Secret Realm technique, namely the Basic Body Refining Method, to the level of perfect mastery.

However, if one wants to go further on the path of cultivation and see the true path to heaven, a perfect-level body-refining secret realm technique is indispensable.

The most advanced level of the "Basic Body Refining Method" can only support a cultivator to reach the realm of a True Person of Spirit Refining, which is already the limit.

Unless one has great fortune and opportunity to recreate their innate nature, it is not enough to go further.

As expected, your family will only allow the "Basic Body Refining Method" at the advanced level for members who have separated from their original families.

Any branch family member who has the potential to achieve a higher level of the "Basic Body Refinement Method" will be ruthlessly crushed.

Especially someone like you, whose bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form and who has shown genius talent in cultivation.

If you choose to break through the Qi Refining Secret Realm within a year, which means giving up the possibility of perfecting the "Basic Body Refining Method," you might not even have much.

They might even have the opportunity to become the so-called Grand Steward or Second Steward of the branch family.

They were appointed and valued.

However, if they choose to stay for a few more years, they will find it difficult to move forward in the Lu family in the future.

Are you ready?

The remnant soul spoke, word by word.

For ordinary people, this question is naturally a soul-searching inquiry.

Perhaps there is still a possibility, so they have no choice but to seek help from the remnant soul.

But unfortunately—

Lu Heng is no ordinary person, nor is he without the possibility of success.

"Senior, is there any possibility?"

The breakthrough I'm referring to isn't the leap from proficiency to minor mastery, but rather the imminent breakthrough from minor mastery to major mastery in the "Basic Body Refining Method."

The boy smiled and spoke thus.

"How is this possible?" This was the first thing the remnant soul within the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant wanted to say.

But the remnant soul was not an ordinary person after all. After a moment of silence, it tentatively spoke.

"How many months have you been practicing?"

"It's been almost five months," the boy said, tilting his head slightly, seemingly reminiscing.

The remnant soul was speechless for a moment.

It took nearly five months. Not to mention the initial nearly one month for Foundation Establishment, it only took a little over three months afterwards.

This young man, who has formed a karmic bond with the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, is about to advance the beginner-level "Basic Body Refining Method" by three whole levels to the advanced level.

If what is said is true, this is no longer within the scope of cultivation geniuses, nor is it a so-called top cultivation genius.

But -

A true prodigy.

This was thousands of years ago, in the era of remnant souls.

It also has another name—

The bearing of a True Lord of Divine Refinement!

In a remote town of the Great Qi Dynasty, a branch of an insignificant family unexpectedly gave birth to a true prodigy!

Horror!

So-called chosen ones are probably nothing more than this!

Wait, to be able to meet by chance and awaken myself after sleeping for thousands of years.

This guy might actually be the chosen one from the legends, the one who defied fate and changed his destiny.

If they can grow up, one day they may have the opportunity to become a person of great fortune!

Looking at the still calm young man through the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, the remnant soul felt a moment of curiosity.

What will the family of this young man think when Lu Heng ascends to heaven from his predicament?

Of course, by then, there may not be a chance to express my thoughts.
