Chapter 46 - 46: 46 Nine Levels of the Postnatal Realm
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 65
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)
Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (Ninth Layer), Ten Methods of Health Cultivation (Twelfth Layer), Unmoving Ming King Seal (Fourth Layer)
Realm: Martial Artist – Postnatal Nine Realms (1%)
Over the past ten years, Liang Sheng’s martial arts realm has finally improved, breaking through to the Postnatal Nine Realms, much faster than he had previously estimated.
However, this was not Liang Sheng’s greatest achievement. His greatest achievement was actually that the Unmoving Ming King Seal had finally advanced to the fourth level.
And the Unmoving Ming King Seal, true to its name as the Dharma Sect’s town sealing technique, made Liang Sheng’s cultivation speed much faster.
In just a short decade, he stepped into the Postnatal Nine-Realm, and if he wanted to establish a martial arts family, he could also become an ancestor.
It’s just that the Golden Dragon Technique has already broken through to the ninth layer, but the Health Cultivation Method has not yet broken through. However, he has a faint feeling that his Health Cultivation Method, under the Unmoving Ming King Seal’s enhancement, will soon enter the next level, and even tomorrow, he might make a breakthrough inadvertently.
However, Liang Sheng did not force himself, and in these ten years, he actually never left the territory of Jinzhou City. He was just worried about the Lifeless Sect’s return, so he had been living cautiously in small towns outside the city.
He originally wanted to return to Jinzhou City earlier to enjoy the bustling life, but the breakthrough of the Unmoving Ming King Seal disrupted his original plan.
But ten years have passed, and he finally has the strength to protect himself. As long as he doesn’t court death, there is no danger under the “innate” realm; thus, Liang Sheng decided to return to Jinzhou City.
It is unknown whether the Lifeless Sect still has a lingering fear of their previous consecutive failures, or if they have other plans, but Jinzhou City has been the most peaceful in these ten years.
And Liang Sheng was like an outsider in the chess game, everything was under his eyes, and no changes could escape his observation.
Today, he didn’t come to Liang Family Cemetery on a whim but to see his old friend Zhang Rongjun, who would come to visit “himself.”
However, he probably doesn’t have many years left to live either. In the face of time, everything in the world will eventually decay.
When Zhang Rongjun and others disappear from this world, I’m afraid no one will remember that there was once a “Liang Family’s trash.”
Liang Sheng has now been promoted to the Postnatal Nine Realms. As long as he doesn’t court death, there will be no danger beneath the Innate Realm. He finds that Jinzhou City hasn’t changed much since his last visit; the only difference is that the vendors on both sides of the street are more energetic than before.
The Liang and Wu Families have long lost their former prestige, as they no longer have the Postnatal Nine Realms Ancestor to support them, and they are no longer considered martial arts families.
Unconsciously, it was getting dark while he was leisurely strolling around. Surprisingly, there were still street stalls doing business on the roadside, which indicates that the city’s public security has improved in recent years.
At this time, Liang Sheng touched his stomach, feeling a little hungry after wandering around for so long. He headed towards the noodle stall, and after turning a corner, he naturally entered the adjacent building.
“Sir, you have arrived? Ladies, why don’t you come out and greet our distinguished guest?”
Yichun Building!
The enthusiastic old madam at the door was still Lady Liu, but she could no longer recognize Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng, on the other hand, didn’t show any stage fright and directly hugged Lady Liu’s plump waist.
“How about letting mom serve me?”
Lady Liu’s movements paused for a moment, then became normal. She thought he was a greenhorn but turned out to be a master in the flower field, and her usual tactics had been seen through.
“If the sir really wants me to accompany him, how could I refuse?”
Lady Liu’s charming eyes seemed to overflow with water, but Liang Sheng just smiled and did not start a conversation. When he saw the girls inside, he naturally moved his hand away from Lady Liu and picked up a girl with each hand, heading straight upstairs.
Lady Liu didn’t show any dissatisfaction at this time because her chest had already been stuffed full of silver notes, causing her voice to involuntarily raise a few notches.
“Little Bottle, Little Green, take good care of the gentleman. Make sure not to disappoint him.”
Then, Lady Liu stuffed the silver notes into her sleeve with a grin, not having encountered such a generous guest for several years. He was very much like the old master of the Liang Family back then.
Not to mention, this young man bore a slight resemblance to him. Wealthy and generous; if it were not for her own aging body…
Upon thinking about this, Lady Liu’s legs tightened. After a while, she blushed on both cheeks and continued to attract customers outside the door.
As Liang Sheng was enjoying himself, Liang Ying returned home. In recent years, he had become more and more accustomed to serving as the secretary in the county government office.
However, his face now showed wrinkles, and his youthful vitality had long gone. He had just entered the mansion and had not yet taken off his official uniform when the steward whispered in his ear, “Master, someone has come from the mountain.”
Liang Ying’s face paused before handing his clothes to the steward and changing back into his casual attire. “1 understand. Have someone guard the door to my study and do not let anyone disturb me.”
Afterward, a few inaudible footsteps echoed around and Liang Ying leisurely made his way to his study.
As soon as he opened the door, Liang Ying saw someone already sitting under the main seat. He first closed the door before walking up to the main seat.
“Brother Qi, why didn’t you let me know you were coming? 1 would have had my servants prepare some food, now it’s a bit rushed.”
Hongzhi’s expression darkened. “Layman Liang, I’ve told you many times that in this world, there is no longer a Liang Qi, only a man seeking Buddha named Hongzhi. 1 hope you won’t make the same mistake again.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Ying didn’t care. “My apologies, it was my fault. However, no matter whether you admit it or not, you still have the blood of the Liang Family running through your veins.”
“Hmph, if it weren’t for that, 1 wouldn’t have been so softhearted and deceived by you, causing the whole Jinshan Temple to be dragged down with me.”
“Brother Qi, that’s not quite how the story goes, it was simply a win-win situation. Otherwise, if Jinshan Temple didn’t cooperate, do you think 1 could have threatened them with just my Post-Natal ‘Eighth’ Level cultivation?”
Hearing this, Hongzhi didn’t refute and didn’t want to dwell on the issue. “Alright, let’s discuss the main matter. Among the Liang Family disciples you brought last time, someone has already broken through the Postnatal Fourfold Realm.”
“Really? Your esteemed temple is truly worthy of being a major sect’s inheritance. You indeed have a knack for training disciples. 1 knew 1 had chosen the right temple…”
But before he could finish, Hongzhi interrupted him. “Layman Liang, 1 advise you not to speak nonsense, otherwise, if something goes wrong, your Liang Family won’t be able to bear it.”
Instead of becoming angry, Liang Ying smiled. “You’re right, I’ve gotten a bit too excited. 1 promise I won’t make such a mistake again.
Don’t be mad. This time, I’ve prepared something good for you as well. The merchants of Jinzhou City have brought a lot of medicinal materials. I’ve intercepted some of them and put them in the usual place. You can have someone pick them up when you have time.”
Hearing this, Hongzhi’s expression finally softened a bit. “Brother Qi,” just as Hongzhi was about to get angry, Liang Ying quickly blurted out his next sentence.
“Wait, don’t get mad. I’ve said before that our cooperation with your esteemed temple is a win-win. Many rare medicinal materials are controlled by the court, and only 1 can get some of them.
Besides, we’re all in the same boat. 1 won’t cut off my own path. I just want to see the Liang Family return to its peak.
No matter what, you are still a part of the Liang Family, and I hope you can help us. If something were to happen to me, 1 hope you could lend a hand to the Liang Family.”
Upon hearing this, Hongzhi suddenly paused and looked at the white-haired Liang Ying standing in front of him. He couldn’t help but feel slightly softhearted. If it weren’t for the Liang Family, would Liang Ying, at the Post-Natal Eightfold Realm, have aged so much?
For a moment, the study fell silent. It took a while before Hongzhi’s voice emerged.
“What do you want to do?”bender
