The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 220
“The Hengliu galaxy?”
“The Hengliu galaxy.
Isn’t that the one mentioned in the letter the top Dharma adept from the Honglong planet of the Tianma galaxy gave me? He mentioned an enemy in that letter, isn’t that where that enemy is from?”
Zhou Donghuang remembered very clearly that the nemesis of that supreme Dharma adept was currently a Primordial Soul adept from a Fireism sect, somewhere in the vast wilderness of the Hengliu galaxy—Gong Sunling.
And Fireism—it was obvious from its name that this was a sect that prided itself on its religious teachings.
“Grandmother, I’m not waiting for her any longer.
If she comes back, tell her that I’m also at the Hengliu galaxy.
We’ll probably meet there very soon if everything goes well,” Zhou Donghuang told Li Yu, then used his inner Yuan to pass the stack of papers in his hand over to Li Yu.
“This is my betrothal gift, Grandmother.
”
Right after he said that, Zhou Donghuang hurriedly bid Li Yu and Luo Wuchen goodbye.
He then turned to leave and prepared to head to the galaxy teleporter nearby to head to the Hengliu galaxy!
Then he was gone with the wind.
Li Yu and Luo Wuchen only recovered after his silhouette had completely disappeared from their sight.
“What an impatient brat!” Luo Wuchen chided softly under his breath.
“I think the way he does things is rather up my alley, actually.
”
.

Li Yu smiled a little.
“Mother-in-law!”
There was a bitter smile on Luo Wuchen’s face.
“Why did you entrust Qinghan to him so recklessly? It’s not just that, we haven’t even talked this through with Qinghan yet, so how do you know if she’ll be up for this?”
“‘Recklessly’?”

Li Yu shook her head.
Her eyes were filled with a certain wisdom.
“You think that I, Li Yu, am a reckless person?
“Haven’t you always wanted to know what exactly had happened to Qinghan that time she went out a few years back and came back a new person armed with a newfound sense of martial talent?” Li Yu stared firmly at Luo Wuchen and asked.
“Yes.
”
Luo, Wuchen nodded.
“I asked that girl a few times but she always changed the topic.
She didn’t want to tell me.
”
“It’s normal that she didn’t want to tell you.
Though you’re her father, you’re also a man.
There are just some differences between men and women.
”
Li Yu asked, “Did Donghuang tell you about the thing between him and Qinghan? You wouldn’t have sent someone to me for confirmation if he didn’t, right?”
“Yes.
”
Luo Wuchen nodded.
“At first, I knew about the issue with He Meng of the He Family where he drugged Qinghan, but I didn’t know that Qinghan had suffered that much after that.
”
Luo Wuchen was aware that Luo Qinghan had gone with his mother-in-law who was standing in front of him now to murder the first lady of the He Family, He Meng, that year.
“Qinghan’s transformation was a result of the night she spent with Donghuang.
”
Luo Wuchen fell into a shocked silence when he heard Li Yu’s response.
It took him a while to shake himself out of his stupor, and he stared at Li Yu in disbelief.
“Mother-in-law, so what you’re saying is…is that Zhou Donghuang, the one of noble blood who’s supernaturally talented and far superior to Qinghan, all of which was the reason why her martial talent underwent such a drastic transformation?”
In this boundless universe, the blood that flowed through human beings were not all that different at the start.
But some people eventually succeeded in improving themselves, and so their blood would undergo a subtle transformation and improve in the same way the body did.
The coupling of those people brought about descendants whose blood was naturally better than others.
When one of the two people who coupled had far better blood than the other, and when that person in question was still a boy or a virgin, the martial talent of the other in the pair would undergo a dramatic transformation.
Luo Wuchen knew this well.
“Yes.
”
Li Yu nodded.
“Is there a possibility that Qinghan had any other encounters?
Luo Wuchen followed up.
“It’s impossible.
”
Li Yu shook her head.
“Qinghan told me every single thing about that incident that happened that time, and she didn’t leave a single thing out.
I can conclude from her account that the transformation of her martial talent is intrinsically linked to Donghuang.
“There’s just this one thing.
Back then, Qinghan had mentioned that Donghuang was only a Qi-Gathering adept, which really puzzled me.
But we know now that certain circumstances had made for Donghuang to still be a Qi-Gathering adept when he was already around sixteen to seventeen years old.
“However, it’s obvious that Donghuang’s talents have fully developed in the past few years, or there’s no way he would be a Golden Essence adept at this age.
“On top of that, his inner Yuan is so powerful, much more superior to that of the average Golden Essence adept.
It’s so powerful that some people find it difficult to believe just how strong it is.
Come to think of it, he’s barely half a step away from the Dharma stage.
”
Luo Wuchen could only listen silently to Li Yu as she spoke.
“I was initially rather puzzled: How could someone of such good blood exist on a small planet in the stars with no galaxy teleporter? But Donghuang answered my question earlier.
”
When Li Yu opened her mouth to speak again, her eyes were gleaming.
“Donghuang had only grown up on Ziyun; he’s not a child of that planet.
He was abandoned on Ziyun by his birth father.
“Qinghan is blessed to be able to be in this marriage with him.
”
“I can also tell that Donghuang has a maturity and stability uncharacteristic of people his age, and he’s really responsible, even if a little quiet.
This will not be a loss for Qinghan.
”
Li Yu’s spoke at length, not the least bit stingy with her praises for Zhou Donghuang.
Luo Wuchen felt a little jealous as he listened to her speak.
This mother-in-law of his had never praised him like this!
Jealous as he was, he was still rather careful when it came to the issue of his daughter’s marriage.
He was finally able to put his mind at ease after hearing Li Yu’s analysis.
He mulled over it for a bit, and he realized that the brat was actually not all that bad.
He would be tolerable if Luo Wuchen actually made the effort to accept him as his son-in-law.
“He was able to see through the flaws in my dharma power while only being at the Primal Core stage… It seems like his father had left him quite a few gifts when he was abandoned on Ziyun or whatever, or there’s no way he would be able to pick out my flaws with that level of training,” Luo Wuchen muttered.
“I don’t know about the future, but for now, it’s not just Qinghan’s who’s losing out.
The entire Luo Family is!”
Luo Wuchen’s gaze landed on the stack of papers clutched in Li Yu’s hand, and he cursed out, “That brat just hands over a few spirit stones to pass off as a betrothal gift? All he offers is a meager few pieces of paper, is he really that stingy?
“Us Luos are not going to be offering a dowry if he’s going to be that stingy!”
Luo Wuchen was rather exasperated and frenzied.
“Betrothal gift?”
Li Yu lifted the stack of papers at Luo Wuchen’s reminder.
She became serious, and her face started hardening over.
“Hm?”
Luo Wuchen’s heart skipped a beat at the look on Li Yu’s face.
“What did the kid write on those pieces of paper?”
After a beat, he saw glee creep onto Li Yu’s face, then a manic joy.
Her eyes and then her whole face morphed into glee, and she could no longer restrain herself from bursting out into raucous laughter.
The old lady’s laugh echoed in the large hall, which made Luo Wuchen all the more curious about just what was written on the paper.
“Good, good… Good!”
“I, Li Yu, will definitely cross into the Primordial Soul stage with this practice method!”
Li Yu was speaking excitedly.
“Practice method?”
Luo Wuchen’s pupils constricted.
Those were practice methods that would help his mother-in-law cross into the Primordial Soul stage?
The thing was that, though his mother-in-law had been trying to do so for over a hundred years, it was practically impossible for her to do so.
This was something that the lady in question had personally admitted a long time ago, an outcome that she had long since been preparing for.
He just did not expect this that his mother-in-law would take one look at the practice methods left behind by his future son-in-law and already proclaim that she would definitely cross over into the Primordial Soul stage with these methods?
Just what kind of practice methods were these?
“Mother-in-law, what are the practice methods that the kid left you?”
Luo Wuchen balked at Li Yu.
He could not help his curiosity, so he asked her.
“It’s the Technique of Everlasting Youth!”
Li Yu’s eyes were broiling as she stared at the paper in her hands.
She flipped through the pages quickly.
“This technique is far superior to the one I had been training with and the one your family owns.
“I’d even go so far as to say that what I had simply pales in comparison to this technique!
“Not only will this technique speed up my training time, but it will also strengthen my Dharma power… For Dharma adepts, their Dharma power is strengthened if their practice methods are good.
“If I succeed in completely switching over to this practice method, I’m confident I will be able to go head-to-head with the Supreme Dharma adepts from the top sects of Tianxuan, even if I’m still just a late Dharma adept.
”
“And it’s not just that.
My lifespan will be extended by three centuries if I succeed in switching over.
Even if I don’t become a Primordial Soul, I can still live to be 900 years old!”
The Technique of Everlasting Youth was the very same practice method that Zhou Donghuang had handed over to his mother, Lin Lan, in the past.
Once they trained enough to reach the Primal Core stage, their lifespan could increase by 50% longer than that of Primal Core adepts.
The longest the Primal Core adepts who trained with this practice method could live to be was 450 years old.
Once they crossed over into the Dharma stage, they could live to be twice as old as that, which was a 50% extension of the average Dharma adept’s lifespan of 600 years.
So on and so forth for the subsequent levels of practice.
Anyone who trained using this practice method would have their lifespans extended by 50% of their peers.
“To think this practice method would be able to extend one’s lifespan… This is no different than playing God!”
Li Yu became increasingly excited the more she spoke.
“Donghuang added a note at the back.
This practice method is the best of its kind, no matter where you are in this boundless universe!
“He said that he would hand the latter part of this practice method to us after we step into the Primordial Soul stage.
“With this practice method, you can train until you become a deity!”
…
Luo Wuchen was completely stunned.
Just up until a moment he had been talking down that future son-in-law of his, calling him stingy for only handing a stack of paper and some spirit stones over as a betrothal gift.
Who would have known that he would be slapped in the face like this just a moment later?
He took over the records of The Technique of Everlasting Youth from Lin Yu who was still rambling on and on.
He then looked over it to verify that it was authentic, and he could not help the look of excitement that appeared on his face.
He was so excited that he started to slap his thighs.
“Good, good… Good! A good son-in-law, what a good son-in-law he is!
“I, Luo Wuchen, acknowledge him as my son-in-law! If that Qinghan has anything to say about this, I’ll break her legs!”
It was rare, but Li Yu did not counter what the man had said this time.
Instead, she exclaimed in agreement, “That’s right! If that girl dares to go against this marriage, you break her left leg and I’ll break her right!”
