I Can Strengthen Infinitely

To Qin Yuesheng’s surprise, the little girl actually settled quietly in the room without making a fuss. No matter how Qin Yuesheng observed her, she just obediently sat in the chair, holding a teacup in her hands, looking very well-behaved.

"Young lady, what’s your name?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

"Mother and father told me not to casually tell others my name, big brother you can just call me Xiaorui."

"Xiaorui, are you a Grandmaster?"

"Yes." Xiaorui nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yuesheng’s gaze couldn’t help but become serious. He truly didn’t expect that this Xiaorui, who seemed even younger than him by several years, had already reached the ultimate goal of martial artists worldwide, the Grandmaster Realm, at such a young age.

At the same time, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but feel puzzled inside.

The reason he could step into the Grandmaster realm had a lot to do with a super auxiliary device; otherwise, how could he have achieved Grandmaster in less than a year?

But what did this young girl rely on?

For a moment, Xiaorui’s background and identity became a big mystery in Qin Yuesheng’s heart.

Grandmasters from all directions kept arriving in Celestial Secret City, and gradually, people couldn’t keep track of how many Grandmasters actually came to Celestial Secret City today. It was truly unparalleled in scale.

They waited until noon, as the sun hung in the sky. Suddenly, a clang of gongs sounded in Celestial Secret City, loud and clear, shocking everyone to their core.

Qin Yuesheng then heard footsteps from outside the room, and the little boy who had earlier welcomed him came rushing in hurriedly.

"Both of you, please come with me, the assembly is about to begin."

Qin Yuesheng exchanged a glance with Xiaorui, immediately stood up, and followed the young boy out of the room, heading towards the center of Celestial Secret City.

The central plaza of Celestial Secret City covers a hundred acres, shaped like an octagon surrounded by tall walls. When Qin Yuesheng arrived, over thirty Grandmaster experts had gathered there.

These Grandmaster experts formed small groups with those they knew, while those with strained relationships stood far apart. Qin Yuesheng wasn’t familiar with anyone, so he casually found an empty spot to stand. Fortunately, Xiaorui stayed by his side, preventing him from being completely alone without anyone to talk to.

In the center of the plaza, a stone pillar stood tall and proud. This pillar was so high and long, complemented by the spacious surroundings, that it formed a sundial with the shadow cast by the sun.

More and more Grandmaster experts gradually arrived. Qin Yuesheng mentally counted, and before long, there were over seventy Grandmasters gathered in this place, their inadvertent aura forming a palpable atmosphere on the plaza.

Tap tap tap!

Suddenly, two different kinds of footsteps came from behind, and Qin Yuesheng immediately turned to look.

He saw an old and a young beggar, both leaning on bamboo canes, walking slowly.

"Hey!" Qin Yuesheng was shocked. He remembered these two, whom he had seen back in Cyan Yang City.

So, the real Grandmasters were right by his side. It was his fault for not having the keen eye back then to discern their true identities.

"Young friend, it’s been a while since we last met, and you’ve progressed so rapidly." The old beggar also spoke in surprise, his tone equally full of awe as Qin Yuesheng’s. After all, he had seen Qin Yuesheng’s power clearly before.

But in just a few short months, the other party had actually become a Grandmaster.

"Old sir..." Qin Yuesheng thought for a moment and spoke respectfully anyhow.

The other party had previously shown mysterious and extraordinary strength, and now appearing in this place even more so explained things.

"Oh, isn’t this the talented little girl from the Xiahou family." The old beggar’s expression changed instantly upon seeing Xiaorui, unusually surprised, asking, "How come your parents allowed you to come out this time?"

"Do you know my father and mother?" Xiaorui was puzzled.

"The ’Xiahou Dragons and Phoenixes’, how could I not know them?" The old beggar chuckled, "Did your parents come this time?"

"They have some affairs to attend to and let me come first."

"Did they let you come alone? Aren’t they afraid you, this inexperienced little child, would be deceived."

"My mother said, while out traveling, just follow someone who smells nice; this place stinks, only this big brother has a nice scent, following him won’t be wrong." Xiahou Rui pointed at Qin Yuesheng, saying proudly.

Qin Yuesheng: "..."

He truly couldn’t understand what kind of connection this was.

As the Grandmasters who were expected gradually arrived, the place started to quiet down. On the eastern wall, a large door slowly opened and a group of people emerged from it, most noticeable was the old man wearing a feather fan and silk scarf.

He looked around at the crowd with a smile, then bowed and said, "Hong Meng of Celestial Secret City, greetings to all."

Celestial Secret City has two pillars: the Celestial Secret Elder and the Divine Calculation Elder. The Hundred-Man List of the Nine Provinces and the Worldwide List were personally compiled by them after gathering information, hence their enormous influence in Jianghu, known by all.

Hong Meng is the rumored Divine Calculation Elder, reputed for his divination skills, said to be so remarkable that he could even predict the time of one’s death.

Although everyone present were Grandmasters, no one showed any disdain towards Hong Meng.

"Today, I have invited you all here to discuss a matter of grave importance, which is closely related to your future safety."

"Hmm?"

"What?!"

At these words, the entire place was thrown into shock.

It’s known that they’re all Grandmasters, and the force gathered here could probably overthrow the world, such that no one could stand against them.

Yet in such circumstances, the Divine Calculation Elder claims they are in danger. If someone else said this, they’d already be laughed at endlessly, but it was the Divine Calculation Elder who spoke, making these people dare not disbelieve.

"What do you mean, please explain clearly." Someone immediately demanded.

"This world is about to face a great catastrophe, one that even Grandmasters cannot escape." The Divine Calculation Elder’s expression suddenly turned extremely serious, "Something very powerful is about to enter the human realm."

These words were like thunder out of clear sky, exploding heavily in everyone’s heart.

Everyone present were Grandmasters, naturally understanding that the pinnacle for Grandmasters is to shatter the void and leave the human realm.

But now, a renowned divination expert says a powerful entity is about to descend into the human realm.

That must be an entity comparable to an Immortal, once it appears, even Grandmasters would be powerless against it.

Suddenly, everyone’s heart felt as though it was pressed down by a heavy stone, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but frown, his mind was very keen, and he quickly thought of the crack caused by the Purple Celestial Demon over Chang’an.

Could it be... the Divine Calculation Elder’s revelation is related to that crack?

If that’s the case, it’s indeed troubling.
