I'm Not Lying, It Really Explodes

After listening to Luolan Qing's account, Luo Tianyu and Zhu Zhenwu felt like they were in a dream. 

It seemed unreal!

Even more unreal than Luolan Qing breaking through eight cultivation levels.

They believed the part about encountering a transcendent immortal who had descended to the mortal realm.

But they didn't believe what came after.

What's this about being enveloped in the rhythm of the Dao?

What's this about the room being filled with powerful presences?

What's this about playing a melody that gave them multiple insights?

Especially those insights, that was going too far.

How could that be possible?

Luo Tianyu looked at Luolan Qing and said, "Little Qing, don't fool your royal father. Your Uncle Zhenwu is here too, quickly explain how you broke through. Did you obtain some heavenly treasure or earth-defying object?"

Seeing her father's disbelief, Luolan Qing was a bit dazed as she said, "Royal Father, I'm not lying to you."

But Luo Tianyu still didn't believe her.

Even though he was just a king, he was worldly and had even been graced by the presence of immortals in the past!

But those immortals only looked slightly different, with terrifying spiritual roots and nothing more.

There was definitely no rhythm of the Dao enveloping them.

Let alone granting insights so easily.

At first, Zhu Zhenwu believed her a little since Luolan Qing's cultivation was so shockingly high.

But after thinking it over, he also sided with Luo Tianyu in disbelief.

However, this was the first time he had seen Luolan Qing lie.

In his memory, she was such an obedient child.

Luolan Qing pouted, thinking for a moment. Then she began to understand her father, for this was truly beyond normal comprehension. 

Fortunately, she had proof!

Luolan Qing took out the last sound-storing stone and said, "Royal Father, here is evidence proving what I said."

Luolan Qing and Zhu Zhenwu looked at it seriously.

A sound-storing stone?

Wasn't this the one recording Senior Qianyuan's cultivation insights?

How could there be any other evidence in here?

Suddenly, Luo Tianyu frowned.

Glancing at Zhu Zhenwu, he wondered if his daughter had recorded something else in here?

If so, wouldn't Senior Qianyuan's insights be gone?!

This wastrel daughter, that's tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones!

At this moment, Zhu Zhenwu was also stunned, his heart skipping a beat.

This...this couldn't have erased Senior Qianyuan's insights, right?!

Then my breakthrough would be indefinitely delayed!

Luolan Qing was about to play the melody and smiled, "Royal Father, Uncle Zhenwu, come closer, you're too far away, it might not work."

A single melody that could grant multiple insights - she hadn't planned to keep it to herself. Since Zhu Zhenwu was here too, she might as well let him experience the consecutive insights as well.

Hearing this, Luo Tianyu and Zhu Zhenwu's faces twitched. 

Luo Tianyu felt immense pain.

These tens of thousands of spirit stones weren't that much, but he was going to use this sound-storing stone to make a much bigger deal with Zhu Zhenwu.

With all the back and forth, the total spirit stone amount reached over 400,000!

What a wastrel daughter!

But he had no choice, it was a done deal. For now, he could only see what mischief his daughter was up to.

He still didn't believe what she had said earlier.

Luo Tianyu moved closer.

Zhu Zhenwu could only go along with it. 

Luolan Qing began channeling spiritual energy into the sound-storing stone.

In an instant, a melody rang out.

As the melody played, the surroundings fell silent, only the lingering notes remaining.

Luolan Qing immediately entered a state of insight, closing her eyes.

Luo Tianyu and Zhu Zhenwu's eyes shot wide open as their bodies froze.

They were dumbstruck. 

This!!

Their minds were utterly shaken.

But they didn't dare waste this opportunity, quickly shutting their eyes.

The melody soon ended. 

Luolan Qing put away the sound-storing stone.

This one had to be discarded, or it would explode in her face again.

This time, she had gained three insights, breaking through from the Condensing Pellet peak to not only the Nascent Soul realm, but the second level!

As the melody stopped, Luo Tianyu and Zhu Zhenwu also opened their eyes. 

Their gazes were like arrow shafts being unleashed.

At that moment, their spiritual roots suddenly transformed.

Rapidly ascending!

Clearly, at the last moment, they had broken through!

The Integral Body realm!

The two men looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock, their faces etched with astonishment.

It was true!

Everything Little Qing had said was true!

A single melody, and they had truly gained four insights.

And at the last moment, they had broken through their bottlenecks to reach the Integral Body realm!

Extremely excited yet also rapidly shifting their gaze to Luolan Qing.

An immortal!

Enveloped in the rhythm of the Dao!

A room filled with powerful presences!

It was all true?! 

Luolan Qing smiled, "Royal Father, do you believe me now?"

Luo Tianyu woodenly nodded.

Then he quickly said, "Little Qing, you should remember this senior's address, right? Quickly take us there. For such a senior to be residing within our kingdom's borders, it would be greatly disrespectful if I don't pay a visit!"

Zhu Zhenwu also looked at Luolan Qing expectantly.

They had to befriend such an almighty senior.

However, Luolan Qing shook her head. "That won't work. Little Xue said the senior descended to cultivate their heart, viewing themselves as an ordinary mortal who doesn't want others interfering. In fact, when Little Xue brought me, the senior was already slightly angered. If I bring you two, we might really provoke the senior's rage, and then..."

She didn't dare finish that thought.

Such a mighty cultivator could reduce them to tattered ruins with just a puff of breath!

Hearing this, Luo Tianyu immediately abandoned that idea. 

"Very well, we'll have a chance to meet if fate allows since they're within our kingdom's borders anyway."

Luo Tianyu consoled himself, then remembered the sound-storing stone, looking at Luolan Qing with a smile, "Little Qing, why don't you play that melody one more time? I feel I could gain another insight."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhenwu quickly nodded in agreement.

But Luolan Qing shook her head. "That won't work, you can only listen once. The second time and the stone will explode."

Hearing this, Luo Tianyu scrutinized his daughter.

Feeling her father's gaze, Luolan Qing shied away a bit. 

Her face darkened as she didn't want to be stared at so intently.

But it was this small evasion that made Luo Tianyu suddenly say, "Little Qing, it's not good to lie to your father."

He felt his daughter just wanted to keep the sound-storing stone to herself.

When Luolan Qing heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Royal Father, I'm not lying to you!

"Little Qing, we can listen to this together, take it out so we can listen again," Luo Tianyu continued.

Luolan Qing was speechless.

Royal Father, it really will explode!

"Father, I'll give you one chance, do you believe your obedient daughter or not?"

Luolan Qing pursed her lips, staring at Luo Tianyu who had doted on her so much, and asked.

Luo Tianyu bluntly said, "I believe everything else, just not this!"

Luolan Qing narrowed her eyes and pouted. 

Very well.

"You can see for yourselves."

Luolan Qing handed the sound-storing stone to Luo Tianyu. 

After giving it to them, she quickly ran outside.

If you're going to be greedy, wait for the explosion!

Seeing his daughter acting so skittish, Luo Tianyu couldn't be bothered.

Recalling that profound feeling from before, he glanced at Zhu Zhenwu, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Brother Zhenwu, shall we continue?"

Zhu Zhenwu's eyes lit up, a lecherous smile appearing on his face. "I'm ravenously hungry."

Seeing Zhu Zhenwu's lecherous expression, Luo Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then continued chuckling, "I never expected the real Brother Zhenwu to be like this, hehe."

Looking at Luo Tianyu's chuckling, Zhu Zhenwu lecherously said, "Same to you."

The two men stared at each other, then exchanged lecherous smiles.

As if they had found kindred spirits.

Without wasting any more time, they moved closer together.

Quickly channeling spiritual energy into the sound-storing stone...

Suddenly, a thunderous boom rang out from the hall!

The two men were sent flying out, their bodies charred black and clothes tattered into rags.

Coughing up smoke, Luo Tianyu glared at Luolan Qing, who was standing not too far away with an awkward expression.

"You...you really weren't lying?!"

Luolan Qing rolled her eyes. "I told you so!"

The two mighty cultivators could only hang their heads in bitter shame after experiencing the explosive power of that sound-storing stone...
