Chapter 1009 Unstoppable rise

Chapter 1009 Unstoppable rise

Like this, days continued to pass in harmony within the Shun estate, as Shun Long continued to spend time with his parents, Shun Fen, Lin Huefeng, and Liu Mei.

In just one week, Shun Fang and Shun An had already reached the peak of the Earth grade and were only a step away from the Heaven grade, while Lin Huefeng was very close to the peak of rank 9 in the Heaven grade as well.

As for Shun Fen, the young girl hadn't started cultivating yet and was more than happy to spend time with Little Silver.

During this past week, the crimson-robed Tao Meng had ended up paying two more visits to the Shun estate under the pretense of sharing some of the exquisite tea leaves he had recently obtained with Shun Fang, Shun An, and Lin Huefeng.

After his second visit, he even invited everyone to the royal palace, promising that he would hold a grand banquet if the Shun family was willing to attend and give him some face.

Naturally, Shun Long could read the sly king's thoughts but he didn't bother with it anymore.

Whether his parents and Lin Huefeng were interested in meddling in the politics of the 'Roaring Waves Kingdom' or not would be up to them. Shun Long wasn't planning to meddle in Tao Meng's scuffle.

Of course, the crafty king wasn't the only one who started paying visits to the Shun estate lately.

The nearby nobles who also lived in the 'Yellow Amethyst street' seemed to have done the same after finding out that Shun Fang's and Shun An's son, as well as Lin Huefeng's daughter had returned to the kingdom.

Despite how much Tao Meng tried to conceal the news, rumors that two powerful cultivators had arrived in the Shun estate had already started to spread throughout the higher echelons of the royal capital like wildfire, causing the annoyed Shun Fang to have to greet everyone who paid them a visit instead of focusing on his cultivation.

Nevertheless, Shun Fang's and Shun An's meteoric rise in cultivation was more than enough to shock anyone who witnessed it in person.

After all, in the mortal world, a cultivation base at the peak of the Earth grade made someone an elite among elites. Even some of the captains in the royal palace hadn't reached that level yet. And yet, Shun Fang and Shun An who were only mortals according to the intelligence of the royal family, had somehow reached this level in just a week?

Despite the unbelievable news however, anyone who visited the Shun estate recently could tell the reason behind the couple's rapid ascension; It was the thick qi inside the Shun estate that was no different from a paradise on earth for any cultivator.

Whether it was Tao Meng or the nobles who had paid them a visit recently, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they sensed the incredibly potent spiritual qi in the air.

In fact, some of the excess spiritual qi from the Shun estate had already started to spread towards the rest of the residences in the 'Yellow Amethyst street, causing the nearby nobles to drop whatever they were doing as they hurried to take advantage of the situation.

Like this, another week passed... and despite the visits from the nearby nobles and Tao Meng becoming more and more frequent, both Shun Fang and Shun An managed to breakthrough to the Heaven grade and were now only a step away from the middle stages, while Lin Huefeng was already a peak rank 9 Heaven grade cultivator.

These two pieces of news started to circulate throughout the royal capital with even more fervor than before, causing all kinds of rumors to follow.

Some people even speculated that Shun Fang was planning to usurp the throne from Tao Meng while others said that it was only a matter of time before the Shun family left the 'Roaring Waves Kingdom'.

After all, the kingdom wasn't big enough to hold 3 more Heaven grade cultivators, all of whom had even surpassed Tao Meng by now.

Of course, neither Shun Fang, Shun An, nor Lin Huefeng seemed affected by those rumors as they continued to cultivate in peace... well, as much peace as they could get considering the constant visits they were still receiving from the nearby nobles, all of whom were hiding their own agendas.

By the end of the third week, Shun Fang decided to completely close off the Shun estate and reject all future visitors, as he focused on reaching the Spirit realm as quickly as possible.

He had already reached the late stages of the Heaven grade alongside Shun An, and was now only a step away from becoming a true Spirit realm cultivator... just like Lin Huefeng who had successfully broken through a few days ago.

Nevertheless, with the dozens of pills he had gotten from Shun Long and the endless spiritual qi the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' kept producing, the middle-aged man felt that his current rate of improvement was no different from a snail's compared to what he could have achieved.

...

Time continued to pass and by the end of the fourth week, Shun Fang who had already reached the peak of the Heaven grade successfully broke through to the Spirit realm, followed by Shun An just a few days later.

Soon, a joyful atmosphere filled the Shun estate as the elated Shun Fang couldn't stop grinning in joy. Although the middle-aged man didn't care about his cultivation that much, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't happy with his newfound strength and being able to protect his family.

Glancing at his parents who had now both stepped into the Spirit realm and had increased their lifespan by more than 500 years, Shun Long couldn't help but smile as well before he turned his gaze towards Liu Mei who was now chatting with Lin Huefeng.

Their month of respite had come to an end and it was now time to return back to the central continent, but Shun Long had no more qualms doing so. After all, he had now achieved all of his goals in the mortal world.
