Chapter 45 Five years have passed, peak of the third-order Qi Sea Realm
Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The stone gate to the treasury deep within the palace slowly opened after countless years of silence.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the dust particles dancing in the air, casting beams of golden light.
A figure slowly emerged from the light.
He was still dressed in black, and still had that handsome and extraordinary young appearance.
But compared to fifty years ago, his hair, which had turned gray from burning his life, was now much whiter.
At this moment, it has completely turned into a snow-white color.
Time seems to have left no wrinkles on his face.
Yet a deeper, more profound aura settled in the depths of his eyes.
He is Lin Hanzhou.
This seclusion lasted for a full fifty years.
For an ordinary person, fifty years is half a lifetime wasted.
It is enough to grow a newborn baby into a capable middle-aged person.
When Lin Hanzhou stepped out of the treasure vault and saw Li Yuechan waiting outside again,
Even with his centuries-old mindset, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and regret.
The woman before me was no longer the naive young girl she was fifty years ago.
She wore a magnificent golden phoenix robe and an imperial crown, her figure graceful and elegant.
But time has inevitably left its mark on her stunning beauty.
There were already faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
But in her eyes, all the naivety and dependence had long since faded.
Instead, there is the majesty of a ruler ruling the world and the composure of one in control of everything.
She truly grew from a girl who needed protection into a qualified emperor.
In layman's terms, it means transforming from a naive young girl into a mature and sophisticated woman.
"Imperial Preceptor, you... have emerged from seclusion."
Upon seeing Lin Hanzhou, an overwhelming surge of excitement and joy welled up in Li Yuechan's majestic phoenix eyes.
She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Hanzhou.
Over the past fifty years, she had grown accustomed to the presence of this great protector of the nation.
Although he had been in seclusion, whenever he thought of it, he would quietly remain deep within this palace.
Li Yuechan would feel incredibly at ease.
"Get up. I've told you so many times, the emperor doesn't need to bow to his subjects, but you just won't listen."
A gentle smile appeared on Lin Hanzhou's lips.
"You flatter me, Grand Preceptor. Without you, there would be no Great Qian Dynasty as we know it today, and I would be no one as I am today."
Li Yuechan spoke earnestly, her heart filled with gratitude towards Lin Hanzhou.
She knew very well that if Lin Hanzhou hadn't intervened back then, she would have been nothing but a skeleton long ago.
"Fifty years have passed, yet Your Majesty remains as radiant as ever."
Lin Hanzhou's smile remained unchanged as he stepped forward and helped Li Yuechan up.
"Yuechan... has grown old."
Holding Lin Hanzhou's hand, Li Yuechan gave a bitter smile.
The reason she can maintain such a youthful appearance is entirely due to her remarkable talent in cultivation.
Back when she was sixteen, she was already a top-tier martial artist.
This cultivation speed already surpasses that of the vast majority of martial artists.
Over the past fifty years, her cultivation has successfully broken through to the Grandmaster realm, adding three hundred years to her lifespan.
With the vast resources allocated to her by the entire royal family, it wouldn't be difficult for her to achieve this.
Moreover, there's Lin Hanzhou's occasional guidance after he leaves seclusion.
His guidance was always insightful and hit the nail on the head, addressing the most crucial issues.
For Lin Hanzhou, who possesses the talent of a martial arts prodigy, achieving this is not difficult.
With his understanding of cultivation techniques in this world, he could even directly create a grandmaster-level technique.
It should be noted that even in the three major sects with a history of thousands of years, a master-level cultivation technique is an invaluable treasure.
The fact that Lin Hanzhou can create such precious treasures at will is enough to show how profound his martial arts skills are now.
With such martial arts skills, instructing others in cultivation would be a piece of cake.
It is for this reason that Li Yuechan not only broke through to the Grandmaster level, but has now reached the level of Senior Grandmaster.
Given more time, it won't be difficult for her to reach the Grandmaster level later on.
Once she breaks through to the Grandmaster realm, she will have the power to personally suppress the world.
Even if Lin Hanzhou leaves, she will be able to stand on her own two feet.
No longer do we need to rely on the other person for everything.
Lin Hanzhou's cultivation level has reached an unprecedented level in the past fifty years.
Peak of the third-tier Qi Sea Realm!
The golden sea of energy within his body had already expanded to its limit.
Within it, the golden spiritual energy had been compressed to its limit, containing a terrifying power capable of destroying the world.
However, he also reached the ceiling of this world.
He could clearly feel that there was an invisible barrier above his head.
It was a barrier formed by the rules of heaven and earth, which tightly restricted him.
This prevented him from taking another step forward and breaking through to the fourth-order True Essence Realm, no matter what.
He knew this wasn't a matter of his talent.
With the blessing of the blue talent of "Martial Arts Prodigy", his cultivation speed and comprehension ability have long surpassed all the geniuses in this world.
This is a problem inherent in the world itself.
This inferior world, known as the "Great Qian Dynasty," has a weak origin and incomplete laws.
The limit of individual power it can bear is a Grandmaster at the peak of the third tier.
It's simply impossible for a fourth-tier martial artist to emerge from here.
Unless, of course, it is the kind of unparalleled genius who appears only once in eternity and is able to break the rules and restrictions of the world.
Only geniuses have a slight chance of forcibly breaking through to a higher realm.
After countless attempts, Lin Hanzhou had to admit that he was clearly not yet capable of doing it.
After repeatedly failing to break through the barrier, he gradually accepted this fact.
So he began to cultivate his movement techniques and martial arts skills to enhance his foundation.
Over the past fifty years, he has cultivated everything he could to the extreme.
Whether it's the top-grade Xuan-level movement technique "Fleeting Light and Shadow" learned from the royal treasury
He had mastered the same fist technique he borrowed from Kongo-ji Temple, "Dainichi Shinken," to perfection.
His most proficient technique, the Flowing Cloud Swordplay, even possessed a subtle quality that required independent deduction.
The trend is to break through the shackles of the Profound Rank and advance to the higher Earth Rank.
All of this is thanks to the incredible effects of the martial arts prodigy.
In addition, he also practiced countless unorthodox and bizarre skills.
Disguise techniques, bone-shrinking skills, turtle breathing techniques...
It's fair to say that he has nothing left to cultivate now.
In this world, he has reached the end of the martial arts path.
Since he could not go any further, he decided to go out and have a good look around. This was his plan for leaving the seclusion.
After saying goodbye to Li Yuechan, Lin Hanzhou quietly left the capital.
He wanted to see what this prosperous era, which he had personally protected for over fifty years, looked like now.
