Chapter 177.1


    When they arrived at the imperial pce, they found Lin Beifan standing unharmed in front of a pce.


    Everyone was stunned, Your Majesty, are you alright?


    Lin Beifan smiled and said, Of course Im alright, thank you all for your concern!


    But that powerful aura


    Lin Beifan turned his head to nce at the pce behind him andughed, Thats Sword Elder. Hes about to make a breakthrough!


    Sword Elder a breakthrough Everyone was shocked.


    Sword Elder was already at the peak of Imperial Qi, just half a step away from the realm of Grandmaster.


    If he was to make a breakthrough, where could he possibly go?


    Of course, it would be


    Just then, a heartyugh rang out: Ive broken through! Ive finally broken through! Haha


    With a whoosh, a familiar figure burst out from the pce.


    Upon closer inspection, it was Sword Elder himself.


    He was the same person, but he seemed different.


    Because he was now exuding a powerful aura that not only covered the entire imperial pce but also enveloped the whole city.


    The aura was so terrifying that even Innate experts couldnt lift their swords.


    Everyone was astounded, looking at the person before them in disbelief.


    Sword Elder has really made a breakthrough!


    Grandmaster! This must be the realm of Grandmaster!


    Our Great Xia finally has its own Grandmaster!


    The crowd was both excited and overjoyed.


    Sword Elder was even more emotional, tears streaming down his face as he said, I never expected that at the end of my life, I would have the chance to glimpse the realm of Grandmaster. The heavens have been kind to me! The heavens have been kind


    Reflecting on his life, he could be described as having achieved nothing remarkable.


    No extraordinary talent, no mentor to impart skills, no background or resources, and no fortunate encounters.


    He had lived a in and uneventful life without any great waves or splendor.


    He had thought that he would never be a Grandmaster in this lifetime, but fate yed a joke on him.


    At the end of his life, he broke through to the realm of Grandmaster!


    One must know, there are only around 100 known Grandmasters in the whole world!


    Each Grandmaster could be considered a favored child of the heavens, someone he used to only admire from afar, not daring to approach.


    Now, he had be one of them!


    He could sit and discuss with them, stir up the winds and clouds of the world!


    At that moment, everyone said in unison, We greet the Grandmaster!


    Haha No need for such formalities!


    Sword Elderughed heartily. I am very happy about todays breakthrough! In seven days, I n to hold a symposium to share some of my insights from the path of cultivation. I hope everyone cane!


    Everyone was excited, especially the Innate experts!


    A Grandmaster was someone who could establish sects and be revered as a master and elder.


    Such impressive individuals were rare!


    If they could receive guidance from a Grandmaster, it would surely save them many detours and possibly help them reach new heights!


    The crowd eximed joyfully, Thank you, Grandmaster!


    Haha! Dont call me Grandmaster; just call me Sword Elder as you used to. It sounds more familiar! Sword Elderughed.


    Everyone immediately corrected themselves, Thank you, Sword Elder!


    At this point, Lin Beifan finally interjected, Alright, if theres nothing else, you may all leave. After you go, proim this news to the world, saying that Great Xia also has a Grandmaster now, and let there be a three-day celebration across the heavens!


    Yes, Your Majesty! the crowd responded.


    Your Majesty, there is another important matter at hand! Chai Yng said.


    Uncle, whats the matter? Lin Beifan asked, puzzled.


    Your Majesty, you once said that as long as our Great Xia has a Grandmaster, we can establish a Dynasty! Look, Elder Sword has already be a Grandmaster. Is it now possible


    Everyone looked at Lin Beifan with faces full of anticipation.


    Lin Beifanughed heartily, So thats what this is about. Indeed, the time hase! Immediately choose an auspicious day for me, hold a grand ceremony, and announce to the whole world that our Great Xia is going to establish a Dynasty!


    Yes, Your Majesty! Everyone was overjoyed and left the imperial pce one after another.


    Only Lin Beifan and Elder Sword remained.


    Lin Beifan said with a smile, My disciple, you are now known throughout the world after a century of practicing the sword in obscurity. From today onwards, you will be famous far and wide, ranking among the strong of this era!


    Elder Sword bowed deeply, his eyes brimming with gratitude, Thank you, Master, for your grace in taking care of me! My breakthrough to Grandmaster was entirely due to your guidance and teachings! I hope you will continue to instruct me so that I can reach even greater heights!


    Indeed, it was with Lin Beifans guidance that he had broken through to Grandmaster.


    But only after his breakthrough did he realize how profound and mysterious the martial arts knowledge Lin Beifan had taught him was, and he was still reaping the benefits.


    Therefore, he wanted to continue learning from Lin Beifan, to be stronger, and to reach even higher realms.


    Lin Beifan looked at him with a face full of satisfaction. Sword Elder remembered his roots and was grateful to his Master, a trulymendable attitude!


    Wasnt it precisely because of these rare and precious qualities that he had taken him as a disciple in the first ce?


    Otherwise, wouldnt it be frustrating to teach a white-eyed wolf? (TLN: ungrateful person)


    If you wish to learn, as your teacher, I will naturally teach you! I have many more martial arts secrets to pass on to you! Lin Beifan said with a smile.


    Elder Sword was overjoyed, Thank you, Master, for your generosity!


    While he was happy, there was also a tinge of regret in his heart.


    His Master had such a talent for martial arts; if he had focused on practicing, he would surely have broken through to the Grandmaster realm!


    Even reaching the Great Grandmaster level was not out of the question!


    What a pity!


    Disciple, youve just made a breakthrough and need to consolidate your realm. I wont disturb you any longer! You just focus on your cultivation, and I will arrange the other matters for you! Lin Beifan left.


    Thank you, Master, I bid you farewell!


    Back in his study, Lin Beifan heard a notification from the Empire Sandbox.


    Ding! Due to the growth of the yers national power, your strength has increased ordingly. You are rewarded with the Art of Longevity!


    The Art of Longevity, allegedly written by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, is a top-level Taoist cultivation technique! It allows one to directly cultivate Innate True Qi, enabling a rapid breakthrough into the Celestial Realm! Moreover, it preserves youth and extends life, ensuring longevity like that of a turtle! (TLN: Yellow Emperor / Huangdi is a legendary figure in Chinese mythology and history.)


    Needless to say, it must be thanks to my good disciples breakthrough, double happiness has arrived! Lin Beifanughed.


    The addition of a Grandmaster to the nation greatly amplified the national power.


    It would be strange if it didnt increase!
