Chapter 656: Louise’s Duty, Julius’s Care
The following day, Misha broke through the foundation-building realm.
While Adam congratulated her, Xie Lian marvelled at her qi’s abundance and purity. She felt as though Misha had just begun unearthing a well of liquid gold that would soon surge into a gushing spring.
She now understood why her friends had delayed cultivation despite their talents and even if she was glad for her, a tinge of jealousy couldn’t help but scratch at her racing heart.
With such a powerful starting point, Misha would breeze through the realms without experiencing bottlenecks until the soul transformation realm. Still, she grinned and ruffled the energetic girl’s hair in congratulations.
Her gaze drifted to Adam, his potential shrouded in a blinding elemental veil her violet eyes failed to pierce. If Misha’s foundation defied logic, how monstrous would his be?
The question made her shudder, but she rapidly hid her impatience by stuffing savory food into her mouth, the blend of peppered sauce and fish mitigating her curiosity. She’d get her answer in a few years. And by then, she’d hopefully graze his genius with her new technique.
After breakfast, Adam worked on the fortress’ design, refining his cells into qi vortices, while she cultivated with Misha until they reunited at nightfall.
Amused laughter and warmth covered the palace in a positive atmosphere as the gentle sun rose and dipped nineteen more times in the blessed land.
But in the Realm of the Four Monarchs, Julius saw the two suns dissipate the night’s darkness only now. He pinched the bridge of his nose as the kingdom’s long history, surreal hierarchy, and the world’s division sank into his mind.
