Chapter 230: Chapter 154: Terrifying Gap_3

The pressure from both outside and inside increased, leading them to the only option of drinking poison as a relief and risking monstrous consequences by absorbing inner strength from the grandmasters of the Jianghu.”

At this time, along with a breakthrough in strength and after feeling the enormous metamorphosis of power, Lu Yuan now looked back and reviewed the many incidents that had occurred over the past two years, instantly providing him with a new perspective.

At the same time, he also felt the increasing frailty of the Da Yue court.

Within the court, even though there are still four Inborn Grandmasters.

However, with the conflict between the Northern Border court and the Liang country, there must always be an Inborn Grandmaster stationed at Guangling county, monitoring the movements of the Liang country.

In the South, Xie Ning, the Inborn Grandmaster of Wuping Marquis, is saddled with maintaining order in Jiuzhen County, newly established on the old lands of Jinghai Country. He is dealing with unrest locally while simultaneously guarding against potential invasions from several small countries nearby.

Meanwhile, in the capital Jinling, a place of pivotal importance where the emperor and countless royal nobles reside.

This place is the heart of Da Yue and its security is of utmost importance, so having an Inborn Grandmaster on call to provide protection is considered necessary.

With this reckoning, three of the four Inborn Grandmasters of Da Yue are tied down by regional matters and are unable to move freely.

Now, the only one available to lead an army to quell any rebellion is the sole Wuan Marquis Bai Mengyang.

You can see that Bai Mengyang’s current situation is seemingly not very good.

According to the news received in recent months, even though the court has sent a hundred thousand elite warriors from the Northern Border into Sichuan, Zhou Country has dispatched two hundred thousand soldiers, in addition to the remaining tens of thousands of large Xi Shu armies, with a total strength that is twice that of Da Yue.

Furthermore, Wuan Marquis has been seriously injured and is now hiding in Anyue City, relying solely on the city’s defenses for protection.

It is said that Lord Bai, as he is now hiding his whereabouts within the city, dares not reveal his location for fear of attracting the attention of the three Inborn Grandmasters outside, which may prompt another assassination attempt.

He is more careful and depressed than even I am.”

Thinking back to the recent widespread rumours on the streets, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a kinship.

Even an Inborn Grandmaster, Wuan Marquis, who is in the second stage, has been pushed to such an extreme, not daring to even show his face in public.

In comparison, even though he is constantly threatened by the Five Poisons Sect, at least he can still make appearances during the day when heavily guarded.

It’s only in the evening, when the soldiers rest, that he needs to choose a random place to hide and safeguard against solitary assassination attempts.

Considering this, Lu Yuan felt that his situation isn’t so bad after all.

Even Wuan Marquis, who is stronger and of a higher status than him, is suffering more.

What can he complain about in comparison?

It has to be said, people in a predicament often do not need much comfort; they just need to see someone having a harder time than them. Then, their mood instantly improves considerably.

Even though this is somewhat schadenfreude, somewhat low and vulgar, but such is human nature!

Considering the threat from the Inborn Grandmaster of the Five Poison Sect, even though Lu Yuan had already broken through the peak of top-notch, he did not immediately leave the seclusion.

Instead, he chose to continue focusing his efforts on refining his inner strength with jade pieces.

Lu Yuan had been refining his inner strength with jade pieces for over a decade and is quite adept at it.

And honestly, it is not really complicated.

Just channeling the inner strength into the jade pieces was enough. Once inside the jade, a certain type of power would naturally start to work some mysterious and magical transformation, making it purer and more concentrated, providing it with an indescribably wonderful sentience.

The whole process consumed the magical power inside the jade pieces. For Lu Yuan, this didn’t result in any loss.

No, it cannot be stated so.

Putting the inner strength in and taking it out was also a process that consumed time and energy. Over time, even Lu Yuan would start to feel fatigued.

So after continuously channeling his inner strength into the jade charm for two days and two nights, he would need to rest for about half a day, allowing himself to recover.

In those two days and 24 hours, Lu Yuan is able to refine approximately one-tenth of his inner strength, making it purer and more concentrated.

So that means, in about 20 days, he would be able to enhance the purity of his inner strength to its peak once more.

By then, his cultivation and strength, compared to his current level, will have improved by at least a third.

Compared to this massive improvement in strength, the 20-day period is just a minor detail.

As for the Seven Star Sect, let them live a few more days.

The treasures of the Seven Star Sect have lost much of their allure for Lu Yuan, whose strength has already reached the peak of top-notch.

His desire for these treasures now is mainly for nurturing disciples like Zhou Qing and others. He is doing it for others.

But the idea of Lu Yuan taking risks for others is practically unthinkable.

They say that the more you know, the smaller you feel, the more fearful you become.

Lu Yuan is now feeling exactly this way.

The stronger his power becomes, the more he realizes, the more reverent he becomes towards the Inborn Grandmasters.

He now deeply feels that the guarded prudence he had maintained before was the wisest move of his life.

Otherwise, if he had been even a little bit careless in his daily life, it could easily be that an Inborn Grandmaster might come to kill him and take his life.

“The reason why the Five Poison Sect didn’t make a move on me in the past year was partly due to the Inborn Experts in their sect being injured.

My daily caution means that they can’t find an opportunity, which is another reason.

Perhaps the Inborn Grandmaster of the Five Poison Sect just broke through Innate recently, and his strength isn’t very strong, so he couldn’t single-handedly break into an army of ten thousand, another possible reason.

But even with these safeguarding factors, they are not reasons for complacency or for taking risks.

To protect my own life, improving my own strength is one way, enhancing safety is one way, and becoming more cautious is another way.

It is only with thorough consideration in all areas that one can hope to live a long life.”

Lu Yuan now feels that he should be more cautious in his day-to-day life, although he has already broken through to the peak of the top-notch.

After all, Innates are terrifying, life is precious, and if I don’t take care of myself, who will?

Just like that, Lu Yuan continued to stay in the barracks, changing his residence daily, and continued to concentrate on refining his inner strength.

It was only ten days after breaking through to the top-notch, when a piece of shocking news coming from the county shocked him out of his secure little cabin..
