r hand, Zhao Heishan hasn't disappointed me. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he's been vigorously streamlining the bureaucracy of Xishan Province, and we're already seeing some positive results....Chapter 664 A Bit of Trouble

Gong Huiyu nodded, calmly saying, "At this realm, talent is more important than effort, and even more important than talent is opportunity. Relying solely on diligent study and hard training is no longer effective. If heaven does not bestow opportunities, and one cannot seize them, then no matter how long they train, they will not be able to enter. The current leader of our Bai Lian Jiao is a Land Immortal."

This realm has reached the point where one is truly impervious to blades and firearms. Picking flowers, fluttering leaves, all tangible and intangible things can be weapons, capable of killing. Even the outward projection of ordinary energy can kill others.

Hearing what Gong Huiyu said, Li Chen felt a strong sense of crisis.

He pointed to the Imperial Guards who were everywhere, and asked: “If your Lord Teacher came here, how many of my Imperial Guards could stop him”

It seemed to know what Li Chen wanted to ask. Gong Huiyu said lightly, "Ordinary martial arts masters, even if hundreds come, they are destined to die. But if it's an elite army, as long as the organization, troop types are complete and well-trained, a few thousand people can make a land immortal master drink hatred on the spot."

Only then did Li Chen let out a sigh of relief.

A sense of security immediately returned.

Well, at least the world hasn't reached a point where individual combat prowess is ridiculously overpowered.

Everything is still within the realm of human.

After glancing at Li Chen, Gong Huiyu continued, "No earthly immortal-realm master would be foolish enough to fight head-on against thousands of regular troops. If a master at the earthly immortal realm was determined to assassinate someone, then no one in this world could stop them."

Li Chen's face darkened.

But I suppose that's understandable.

While the personal martial prowess of this world hasn't reached an incomprehensible level, since they can all be called Earth Immortals, they definitely aren't easy to deal with.

Cultivating to this realm requires talent, aptitude, and opportunity all in perfect harmony.

This is far from something that just anyone can achieve.

"Apart from your leader, are there any other living masters at the Immortal Realm level" Li Chen asked.

Gong Huiyu said lightly, “Both Shaolin and Wudang, the two major schools with a history of hundreds of years, have them. And perhaps other schools with deep foundations also have them. In short, the number of masters at this level that are publicly known is definitely not the true number. Many wandering masters do not like to be ostentatious, so it's normal for few people to know about them or for them to be unknown.”

"There are also people like this abroad. For example, Wan Yan Zai Dao, the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom, was a master at the Land Immortal Realm. There are also some in the Jin Kingdom and the East瀛, but there aren't many, maybe only one or two."

“Currently, the highest-ranking master who has entered the Land Immortal Realm for the longest time is the Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Sect from East Ying. He is 120 years old. On the day he celebrated his 60th birthday, he had an epiphany while watching the sea. With a single step, he entered the Land Immortal Realm, causing waves to surge to a height of tens of meters, the wind and clouds changed color, and a huge vortex appeared out of thin air.”

"All of this, the previous sect leader saw with his own eyes. Now, a century has passed, and no one knows how profound his skill has become."

Li Chen's face darkened slightly.

The more he talked, the more outlandish it became.

There's a top-tier veteran martial artist in the East, and that's not good news.

It seemed that Li Chen wasn't pleased, but Gong Huiyu continued to throw bombshells with relish.

The venerable elder had married countless times in his life, and his children and grandchildren numbered in the hundreds. He already had six generations living under one roof, and one of his great-grandsons was named Cao Zhijing Erlang.

Li Chen was taken aback, then said with dejection, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter sooner"

You didn't ask.ing pain made Hou Yushu's nose and eyes sting. He wanted to say something, but a lump of sourness choked his throat, preventing him from uttering a word. When he finally managed to speak, it was only...
