Chapter 312: Chapter 243: Ruined by Over-Practicing_3
After all, Qin Wentao was a Nascent Soul cultivator, with ample wrist, connections, resources, and power at his disposal.
Although publicly he needed to weaken the imperial Cabinet’s influence as the Prime Minister, if his own Qin family’s bloodline could ascend to the throne, there would be no weakening at all; he would prefer Liang Pei to grow stronger in his reign.
If Liang Pei ascended to the throne, firstly, it would align with the Grand Secretary’s interests; secondly, it would serve the interest of female cultivators in alignment with the Taixu Sect’s goals; next, as long as the news of Liang Pei’s father remained undisclosed, Liang Pei could ostensibly push the Cabinet back, thus also serving the royal family’s interests; moreover, her not being from Tongtian Sect satisfied the Linlan Sect’s interests; finally, Liang Pei had no grand strategies or ambition for reforms, which suited the vested interests of Tongtian Sect within Liang Kingdom…
After carefully considering, Liang Lu realized that Liang Pei’s ascension could actually satisfy everyone in Liang Kingdom.
No wonder Jiang Cheng said she had no hope; Liang Pei’s ascension was inevitable.
So that’s how it is!
But then again, Liang Lu looked skeptically at Jiang Cheng, “How do you know Liang Pei’s secret? Shouldn’t this kind of thing only be known by her birth mother, Consort Rong?”
Jiang Cheng was well-prepared for this, “I had a friend, he told me. However, he is now separated from me by life and death, which is quite regrettable.”
“Really?” Liang Lu found the story too bizarre and almost unreal.
Especially since Consort Rong seemed so composed and dignified, no one expected that she would have that kind of relationship with Qin Wentao behind the scenes.
“Yes. You are a true disciple, why would I lie to you?”
“Alright then.”
Liang Lu chose to accept reality.
Since she had chosen the path of immortality, the imperial family’s mess had nothing to do with her.
If Liang Pei couldn’t break through the Foundation Establishment, then she would only have a lifespan of a hundred years, which to a cultivator, was merely a blink of an eye.
Even if the dynasty had been established for a thousand years, in the face of the long lives of high-level cultivators, it was merely a passerby.
Jiang Cheng said excitedly, “Right, Liang Lu, there’s still plenty of time today, just right for you to experience the cultivation method of the Dayan Sect. Let you see the benefits of joining the Dayan Sect.”
“Okay, what do I need to do?”
“You just maintain your normal state as you enter cultivation, and no matter what happens, don’t be surprised.”
“Alright.”
Liang Lu trusted Jiang Cheng very much and did as she was told.
Jiang Cheng unceremoniously took out a sheet with Dayan Sect Disciple names and waited for Liang Lu to enter her cultivation state before using an eraser to remove “Liu Qing”‘s name.
Once “Liu Qing” disappeared, the balance of righteousness and demonic Tao in Capital was instantaneously disrupted.
The weakened force of the Demonic Tao instantly aroused the interest of the forces balance mechanism.
At present, Capital had only one Demonic Tao power, and in this power, there was only one person in a state of cultivation.
Thus, the balance mechanism began to search for ways to provide Liang Lu with some opportunities.
For instance, the ultra-affinity state that Jiang Cheng once experienced, where the cultivation speed increased manifold for a short time. The spiritual energy that once required effort to capture was now actively burrowing into Liang Lu’s body!
But Liang Lu was already at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and her cultivation level couldn’t progress further; the next step was Foundation Establishment.
However, Foundation Establishment required multifaceted consideration, and some wished to stall their cultivation level to enter Immortal Sect, so Foundation Establishment was not necessarily the better the sooner.
After letting Liang Lu experience the Dayan Sect’s cultivation method for a bit, Jiang Cheng rewrote Liu Qing’s name, restoring the balance.
“How was it?”
Liang Lu was silent.
She didn’t know how to describe her current feelings.
When she had earlier refused Li Qingge, Liang Lu was already prepared to follow Jiang Cheng in the poor Dayan Sect, bracing for a life of hardship.
She didn’t expect that after seeing just now, she had thought too much; the reality was not as she had presumed.
The Dayan Sect was not only not poor, but it was also rich as if the ground was lined with gold wrapped in oil.
Liang Lu felt that if she cultivated in the state she had just experienced, she could progress from the first level of Qi Cultivation to the ninth level in a single day.
She had never fought such a wealthy battle!
