Chapter 914: Chapter 579: Very Relaxed, Flame Dragon Guards 2

These years, Wang Chou would occasionally tell Lu Lin about Sun Xiaorui’s situation.

"Wang Chou." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Lu Lin, your wife is about to advance to Star King."

"Really?"

Lu Lin was overjoyed.

Sun Xiaorui had told him that she had two choices for retracing her cultivation path.

One was following the experience of her previous life, with which she could easily cultivate to Star Emperor Peak, her ability exceeding that of the Star Dust General at General Mountain, but still not reaching the Star Lodging War General level.

However, having been reborn, she naturally didn’t want to take the old road of her previous life.

So her second method was to completely abandon everything from her past life and start anew on the path of cultivation.

But by doing so, Sun Xiaorui couldn’t use anything accumulated in her past life.

Treasure was unusable.

The secret book of cultivation methods was unusable.

Cultivation experience was unusable.

Everything had to start from scratch.

Though she had some advantages in Soul Power, compared to a genius, the advantage was not great.

Moreover, with the awakening of past life memories occurring again and again, Sun Xiaorui faced greater obstruction.

The complete cultivation memories from her past life not only failed to aid her current cultivation but continuously interfered, tempting Sun Xiaorui to return to the "right path."

Compared to ordinary talents, Sun Xiaorui is no lesser in innate aptitude, but during cultivation, she must continuously overcome temptation, which makes it extraordinarily difficult.

It’s like trying to climb a mountain while constantly having signs telling you how you can easily reach the summit.

Yet she insists on choosing another unknown path.

But Sun Xiaorui doesn’t lack resilience in character.

While continually resisting these temptations, she accumulated step by step and finally cultivated to this stage.

Lu Lin was, of course, delighted for her.

Reincarnation recultivation.

In the Star Universe, advancing to Star Battle was a checkpoint.

At that time, Lu Lin assisted her through it.

The advancement from Star Lord to Star King was another checkpoint.

These two checkpoints weren’t the hardest, but for new souls in reincarnation recultivation, they were extremely challenging.

Once Sun Xiaorui strengthens her heart in prolonged cultivation in Star King, her ability to resist temptation will significantly improve.

Then, when she looks at the memories of her past life, she won’t have such a large impact as now, but will view them like someone else’s life documentary, feeling touched but not greatly influenced.

"Sun Xiaorui is now at a crucial moment, but her preparation isn’t very adequate."

"Moreover, although she hasn’t directly said it, between the lines, she hopes you can visit her."

"How about it, Lu Lin, how is your cultivation going now?"

"Do you have time to visit?"

"This..."

Lu Lin pondered.

Sun Xiaorui is a woman with a resilient character, never showing her weakness.

In recent years, the number of times she contacted him could be counted on fingers.

She didn’t mention anything about advancing to Star King.

Apparently, she didn’t want to trouble Lu Lin.

However, Lu Lin couldn’t shirk this matter.

He and Sun Xiaorui, years ago, met and got acquainted through Star Battle World, and developed into Dual Cultivation Partners.

Though neither spoke of the future, as a man, Lu Lin naturally couldn’t bear to watch his woman suffer.

"I’ll make time to visit; I’ll arrive within half a year."

Lu Lin said determinedly.

As for how to get to Xi Chu Empire, he didn’t have any idea yet, but since he said this, he must accomplish it.

In fact, he plans to arrive earlier than promised at Sun Xiaorui’s side.

"Alright, you hurry up and come over; I’ve got a bunch of stuff here."

"Okay... wait a moment."

Lu Lin was about to end the call when he suddenly remembered something.

"What’s up?"

"Wang Chou, I noticed the strength of your physical cultivation seems pretty strong; do you remember if you reached the Harmony of Hardness and Softness state?"

"Yes, I have."

"Isn’t it necessary?"

Wang Chou countered with a question.

"Oh?" Lu Lin was intrigued, not expecting Wang Chou to have reached this state.

If he had known, he would have asked Wang Chou for advice over the years.

"What’s up, Lu Lin, you haven’t reached it yet, have you? Then how come your strength is so great?"

"I’ve always suspected you’d reach the leverage and force stage."

"Your strength was just too monstrous."

"Let’s not discuss this." Lu Lin dismissed Wang Chou’s curiosity, "Tell me how you reached the Harmony of Hardness and Softness state."

"That... I can’t remember."

"Anyway, one day I was so tired from cultivation that I sat down to rest, and when I got up, I’d already reached the state."

Uh.

Lu Lin decided to retract his earlier remark.

He wanted to seek advice from Wang Chou, but the other managed to show off instead.

Got tired from cultivation, then achieved it.

"Okay, no problem, you go ahead and get busy."

Lu Lin ended the communication, unaware that Wang Chou was laughing craftily.

Fool Lu Lin, the Harmony of Hardness and Softness state is not easy for anyone to achieve.

Even with Wang Chou’s extraordinary talent, it took him nearly a hundred years to grasp a hint, and he only thoroughly mastered it through continuous combat.

Wang Chou himself couldn’t even articulate an understanding of this state.

Lu Lin’s cultivation time is so short, yet he can overshadow Wang Chou, and this time he finally got to flaunt a bit in front of Lu Lin.

"Elder Wang, why are you laughing so happily?"

A clear voice echoed nearby.

Without needing to look, Wang Chou knew it was Sun Xiaorui.

"What else to laugh about? Your man."

"He’s now stuck at the harmony state in cultivation, then I told him..."

Wang Chou recounted his conversation with Lu Lin, but Sun Xiaorui didn’t mind.

In reliving a lifetime, she hadn’t comprehended the Harmony of Hardness and Softness state either.

However, based on previous life memories, Sun Xiaorui knew there’s no shortcut to achieving this state.

Wang Chou is quite mischievous for teasing Lu Lin like this.

"Won’t talk to you anymore, the Sect Master summoned me, no idea what for. I leave sect matters to you for now."

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

"I don’t understand why your Sect Master doesn’t stay at his sect, always running to Chu State Imperial City. I bet it’s because he has you as free labor which makes him idle."

Sun Xiaorui smiled, didn’t respond to Wang Chou, and took the flying boat to depart.

After a day’s flight, Sun Xiaorui’s flying boat landed in a villa outside Chu State Imperial City.

This was the residence of the Wild Blade Clan’s Sect Leader Li Xiaoci in the imperial city.

But as soon as Sun Xiaorui landed, she sensed something unusual about the villa today.

A number of soldiers wearing red armor were guarding outside.

"Halt!"

Seeing Sun Xiaorui land, the red-armored soldiers immediately shouted to stop her.

Now that she was close, Sun Xiaorui recalled that these red-clad soldiers must be the top martial group of the Xi Chu Empire.

Xi Chu Emperor’s personal guards.

Flame Dragon Guards.

Xi Chu Empire has a fire-based fate, many troops in the country revered fire, with the Flame Dragon Guards being the apex of combat power.

An ordinary team member of the Flame Dragon Guards must be at least at the Star Lord Phase.

Star Lord Stage can only be team leaders in the Flame Dragon Guards.

There are also three great Flame Dragon Leaders, all top strong individuals of Star King Peak.

These three are the direct bodyguards of Xi Chu Emperor with more authority than some ministers in the court.

They can enter the Imperial Palace to meet Xi Chu Emperor anytime.

The three leaders oversee slaughter, guard, and reconnaissance tasks, making them the most trusted team by Xi Chu Emperor.

They usually stay close by, but today they seem to have come to the villa where the Sect Leader resides.

Sun Xiaorui stepped back a few steps and took out the Message Conch to contact the Sect Leader.

Shortly later, Li Xiaoci came to the villa entrance and saw Sun Xiaorui standing there gallantly, his face breaking into a smile.

"Xiaorui, you finally made it, come, come, come, enter with me, don’t keep His Majesty waiting."

"His Majesty?"

Sun Xiaorui was surprised; Xi Chu Emperor really came?

"Don’t daze, quickly follow me inside."
