“You should know that the true foundation of our world is hidden within the prominent families.

“Since ancient times, every dynasty has been replaced, and the current emperor has killed all the bloodlines of the previous dynasty!

“For what?

“It was highly likely that a new emperor would emerge from that bloodline who would be detrimental to his rule.

“Another reason was that they had grasped a true cultivation technique that transcended the surface of this world and was truly sufficient to allow one to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

“They called the cultivation techniques of that level, the imperial techniques!”

Qin Shenglong nodded.

“I know, but cultivation techniques of that level are kept secret. In this world, only prominent families and extremely few top-tier martial arts academies have them.

“People like us, we don’t even have the qualifications to come into contact with them.”

After pausing for a moment, his body suddenly trembled, and a frightened yet excited expression appeared on his face.

“Old Du, you can’t be saying that this cultivation technique… It… It… It’s an imperial technique, right?”

Du Changfeng took a deep breath as he looked at the stone piece in his hand that recorded the cultivation technique.

“Not necessarily, and I don’t dare to be too certain. However, it is 100 percent certain that it absolutely surpasses the grandmaster-rank cultivation techniques.

“In the past few years, the Jingdou Martial Arts Academy had long since carried out secret research. They wanted to develop a cultivation technique that surpasses the grandmaster rank so that the nine provinces could break away from the shackles of the prominent families.

“I have also been participating in this research, and have come into contact with countless grandmaster-rank cultivation techniques.

“However, I can clearly tell you that this cultivation technique is superior to any grandmaster-rank cultivation technique.

“Even if it’s not an imperial technique, it’s still a superior one!

“In short, this cultivation technique is far more precious than you can imagine.

“This is also why I told all those who took photos to delete them.

“Previously, our family’s cultivation technique was only a lesser grandmaster-rank cultivation technique, so it could be displayed in public. However, that is not possible for this completed version.”

Qin Shenglong’s eyes revealed a hint of solemnity and envy.

“It’s a pity that I’m a sword practitioner, so I won’t be able to cultivate this cultivation technique.

“However, this might also be a reward from the heavens. After all, if it weren’t for you being righteous and contributing your saber techniques back then, you might not have obtained this cultivation technique today.”

Du Changfeng nodded.

“The problem now is that we should find out who completed the saber technique.”

“The person who had completed the cultivation technique…”

Qin Shenglong’s body suddenly trembled, and he was extremely excited.

“Could it be him? I know he is! It must be him!”

“Who is it?”

Du Changfeng’s expression was extremely happy, and he also started to grow excited.

“Well… I don’t actually know him.”

The smile on Du Changfeng’s face instantly disappeared, and he could not help but express his disappointment like a child.

“Are you insane?”

Qin Shenglong smiled embarrassedly and said awkwardly,

“Let me tell you what happened…”

Once Qin Shenglong shared the matter of the mysterious martial artist, Du Changfeng’s expression became especially grave.

“I really didn’t expect that such a powerful martial artist would appear in Jianghai city.”

There were few grandmasters in Jianghai city, but there were many around the world.

Moreover, Du Changfeng was a professor at the Jingdou Martial Arts Academy, so it was not strange for him to be in the Xiantian realm. However, Du Changfeng did not know about such a person in Jianghai city.

Qin Shenglong nodded.

“Since he killed the grandmaster star beast and saved Yunzhong and me, I think he shouldn’t be considered an enemy of Jianghai city. To be honest, if it weren’t for him, you probably wouldn’t have been able to see me when you came back this time.”

“It’s really lucky for Jianghai city to have a great grandmaster!”

“Great grandmaster?”

Du Changfeng smiled.

Qin Shenglong frowned slightly.

“What? Did I say something wrong?”
