Apa?
Pada saat ini, semua orang mengira dia gila.
Seorang kultivator level Qi dua berkhayal untuk menghadapi level Qi lima? Apa dia yakin tidak gila?
"Kakek, aku setuju!"
Tanpa menunggu Ling Yi selesai berbicara, Tuan Muda Ling tiba-tiba berdiri, menatap Gu Ruoyun yang lebih pendek satu kepala darinya dengan angkuh.
"Gu Ruoyun, ini keinginan matimu sendiri! Tuan muda ini menerima tantanganmu! Bersiaplah untuk bertarung sekarang!"
"Tunggu!"
Tuan Muda Ling hendak menyerang, ketika sebuah teriakan tiba-tiba menghentikan aksinya.
Dia menarik tangannya dan mencibir: "Apa yang kau lakukan? Akhirnya takut? Jika kau takut, berlututlah, bersujud, dan panggil aku kakek tiga kali, mungkin aku akan bermurah hati menyelamatkan nyawamu!"
Bibir Gu Ruoyun melengkung ke atas: "Jika aku takut, aku tidak akan menantangmu, tapi aku tidak mengusulkan kita bertarung hari ini, melainkan sebulan lagi!"
"Haha!" Tuan Muda Ling tertawa dua kali, "Gu Ruoyun, akhirnya aku mengerti, bukankah kau hanya mencoba hidup satu bulan lagi? Tuan muda ini bukan orang tanpa belas kasihan, aku akan membiarkanmu hidup satu bulan lagi! Kakek, ayo pergi, setelah satu bulan, aku akan kembali dan membunuh si tak berguna sialan ini! Kita bahkan bisa membantu rumah jenderal menghemat makanan!"
Makna dari kata-kata ini jelas: jika aku, Tuan Muda Ling, membunuh Gu Ruoyun, itu murni demi rumah jenderal. Bukankah membesarkan si tak berguna seperti itu membuang banyak makanan? Jadi, rumah jenderal tidak bisa menyalahkanku, bahkan kau harus berterima kasih padaku!"
Melihat siluet keluarga Ling yang menghilang, wajah Jenderal Tua Gu menghitam.
Dari sudut pandangnya, tidak masalah jika Gu Ruoyun mati, selama itu bukan di tangannya, tapi sekarang si tak berguna ini berani menantang tuan muda keluarga Ling! Bukankah ini hanya membuang reputasi rumah jenderal?
Jika bukan karena dia, dia tidak akan dihina oleh keluarga Ling!
"Hmph!"
Memikirkan sampai di sini, Jenderal Tua Gu menarik napas dalam-dalam, mengibaskan lengan bajunya dengan keras, dan berjalan keluar dari aula tanpa pamit, bahkan tidak menatap Gu Ruoyun dari awal sampai akhir...
"Gu Ruoyun, kau benar-benar melebih-lebihkan kekuatanmu."
Gu Panpan melirik Gu Ruoyun dengan jijik, mengejek: "Hanya dengan dirimu sendiri, kau bermimpi bisa bertarung dengan tuan muda Ling? Apa kau tidak tahu siapa dia? Bibinya adalah selir kesayangan Kaisar, dan dia adalah murid dari ahli nomor satu di Qinglong. Dengan guru ahli top Qinglong, apa kau benar-benar berpikir dia akan takut padamu?"
Setelah melontarkan kata-kata ini, Gu Panpan mendengus sinis dan pergi.
......
Di belakang gunung, angin segar bertiup.
Gu Ruoyun duduk di atas batu, mata terpejam dalam renungan.
Tiba-tiba, dia membuka matanya, cahaya bersinar di tatapan matanya yang berkilau seperti permata.
"Benar, Pagoda Kuno Suci, aku ingin tahu bagaimana keadaannya sekarang..."
Hari itu, jika Pagoda Kuno Suci tidak menghentikannya, dia akan mati bersama Xia Ming, dan bahkan jiwanya tidak akan tersisa...
Sekarang, dia masih punya kesempatan untuk masuk ke daratan Dongyue dan membalaskan dendam ibunya dan kakek dari pihak ibu!
Namun, Pagoda Kuno Suci sudah menyatu dengan tubuhnya, bagaimana dia bisa mengeluarkannya?
"Aku akan pikirkan itu nanti, mari kita lihat dulu di bagian tubuh mana Pagoda Kuno Suci bersemayam!"
Mengatakan demikian, Gu Ruoyun menutup matanya, membiarkan kesadaran spiritualnya memindai tubuhnya.
Pada titik ini, dia tiba-tiba menemukan bahwa lautan spiritualnya jauh lebih besar dari normal.
Dari pengetahuan umum, ketika seniman bela diri mulai berkultivasi, kekuatan spiritual mereka semua terkondensasi ke dalam lautan spiritual. Setelah lautan spiritual terisi penuh, seniman bela diri bisa menerobos ke level berikutnya.
Seniman bela diri normal memiliki lautan spiritual seukuran mangkuk, tapi lautan spiritual di tubuh Gu Ruoyun seluas lautan sungguhan, dan inilah alasan di balik lambatnya kultivasinya.
Karena tidak ada seniman bela diri yang benar-benar kuat di Qinglong, mereka tidak akan tahu manfaat dari memiliki lautan spiritual yang begitu luas.
Semakin banyak kekuatan yang kamu kumpulkan, semakin banyak hambatan yang akan kamu temui, dan untuk menerobos hambatan itu, kamu perlu memiliki kemampuan pencerahan seniman bela diri!
Dan semakin luas lautan spiritual, semakin kuat peluang untuk mencapai pencerahan. Jika dia memiliki lautan spiritual seluas ini di kehidupan sebelumnya, mungkin dia sudah menerobos kelas senior bela diri dan mencapai tingkat supreme bela diri! Bahkan di daratan Dongyue, kelas supreme bela diri adalah eksistensi yang hanya berjumlah segelintir, dan mencapai level ini, kamu bahkan bisa menjadikan dirimu seorang kaisar.
Ahli top Qinglong hanya berada di puncak jenderal bela diri, jadi kamu bisa lihat betapa menakutkannya eksistensi supreme bela diri...
"Hmm?"
Tiba-tiba, Gu Ruoyun menemukan sebuah pagoda ungu kecil terendam di lautan spiritualnya, dan hatinya melonjak kegirangan: "Pagoda Kuno Suci, akhirnya aku menemukanmu..."
Boom!
Sebuah gelombang kuat menyapu keluar dari lautan spiritualnya, langsung menuju kesadaran mental Gu Ruoyun, mengguncangnya sampai pikirannya berdengung. Ketika dia pulih lagi, secercah pakaian ungu muncul di depannya...
Chapter 7: Good-for-Nothing (4)
What?
At this moment, everyone thought she was crazy.
A Qi level two was having delusions of facing a Qi level five? Was she sure she had not gone crazy?
“Grandfather, I’ll agree!”
Without waiting for Ling Yi to finish speaking, young master Ling abruptly stood up, condescendingly looking over Gu Ruoyun, who was shorter than him by a head.
“Gu Ruoyun, this is your own death wish! This young master agrees to your challenge! Prepare for the fight now!”
“Hold on!”
Young master Ling was about to attack, when a sudden shout interrupted his action.
He withdrew his hands and sneered: “What are you doing? Finally scared? If you’re scared then kneel down, kowtow and call me grandfather three times, maybe I’ll even take mercy on your life!”
Gu Ruoyun’s lips hooked upwards: “If I was scared, I wouldn’t even challenge you, but I’m not proposing that we duel today, but a month later!”
“Haha!” Young master Ling laughed twice, “Gu Ruoyun, I finally understand, aren’t you just trying to live for another month? This young master isn’t someone without mercy, I’ll just let you live for another month’s time! Grandfather, let’s go, after one month, I’ll come back and kill this damn good-for-nothing! We can even help the general’s mansion save some food!”
The meaning of these words was obvious: if I, young master Ling, were to kill Gu Ruoyun, it would be purely for the sake of the general’s mansion. Doesn’t raising such a good-for-nothing waste a lot of food? So, the general’s mansion cannot put any blame on me, you even need to thank me instead!
Looking at the Ling family’s disappearing silhouettes, Old General Gu’s face turned black.
From his view, it would not have mattered if Gu Ruoyun had died, as long as it was not at his hands, but now this good-for-nothing had grown some daring and wanted to duel with the Ling family’s young master! Wasn’t this just throwing the reputation of the general’s household?
If it were not for her, he would not have been humiliated by the Ling family!
“Hmph!”
Thinking up till now, Old General Gu took a deep breath, fiercely shook his sleeves, and walked out of the hall without leave, not even looking at Gu Ruoyun from start to end...
“Gu Ruoyun, you’ve really overestimated your own strength.”
Gu Panpan glanced at Gu Ruoyin with disdain, mocking: “Just by yourself, you’ve deluded yourself into thinking you can duel with young master Ling? Don’t you know who he is? His aunt is the Emperor’s favourite concubine, and he’s the disciple of the number one expert in Qinglong. With Qinglong’s top expert as a teacher, did you really think he would be afraid of your brother?”
After throwing out these words, Gu Panpan snorted disdainfully and walked away.
......
At the back of the mountain, a refreshing wind was blowing.
Gu Ruoyun sat on top of a rock, eyes closed in thought.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, radiance shining in her sparkling jewel-like gaze.
“Right, the Ancient Divine Pagoda, I wonder how it’s like now...”
That day, if the Ancient Divine Pagoda had not stopped her, she would have died along with Xia Ming, and even her soul would not have been left...
Right now, she still has the chance to enter the Dongyue mainland and avenge her mother and maternal grandfather!
However, the Ancient Divine Pagoda had already fused into her body, how would she go about removing it?
“I’ll think about that later, let’s see exactly which part of my body the Ancient Divine Pagoda has settled in first!”
Saying so, Gu Ruoyun closed her eyes, letting her spiritual consciousness scan her body.
At this point, she suddenly found that her spiritual ocean was much larger than normal.
From general knowledge, when martial artists begin cultivating, their spiritual power was all condensed into the spiritual ocean. Once the spiritual ocean had filled up, the martial artist could then break through into the next level.
Normal martial artists had spiritual oceans the size of a bowl, but the spiritual ocean in Gu Ruoyun’s body was as vast as the real ocean, and this was the reason behind her slow cultivation.
Since there were no real strong martial artists in Qinglong, they would not know of the benefits of having such a vast spiritual ocean.
The more strength you gathered, the more bottlenecks you would begin to encounter, and to break through the bottleneck, you needed to have the martial artist’s ability of enlightenment!
And the wider the spiritual ocean, the stronger the chance of achieving enlightenment. If she had had such a vast spiritual ocean in her past life, perhaps she would have already broken through martial senior class and achieved martial supreme! Even in the Dongyue mainland, the martial supreme class was an existence that numbered only a handful, and upon reaching this level, you could even make yourself an emperor.
Qinglong’s top expert was only at the peak of martial general, so you can see what a fearsome existance a martial supreme is...
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun found a small purple pagoda submerged in her spiritual ocean, and her heart lifted in joy: “Ancient Divine Pagoda, I’ve finally found you...”
Boom!
A powerful wave swept out from her spiritual ocean, heading straight into Gu Ruoyun’s mental consciousness, shaking her to the point that her mind was buzzing. When she recovered her senses again, a hint of purple clothing appeared in front of her...
TL Note: The author finally explained the cultivation levels!
Ranked from top to bottom:
聚气 – quqi, Qi collection levels 1-8
武者 – wuzhe, martial warrior
武士 – wushi, martial knight
武将 – wujiang, martial general
武王 – wuwang, martial king
武皇 – wuhuang, martial emperor
武尊 – wuzun, martial senior
武帝 – wudi, martial supreme
武圣 – wusheng, martial saint
武神 – wushen, martial god
I updated the previous references to wuzun, to show martial senior instead.
So now we know Gu Ruoyun was previously a martial senior, but now she’s only Qi level 2... However, the highest level on the Qinglong mainland is only a martial general, 3 whole ranks below her previous rank. What a fall...
