Mythical Three Kingdoms

In the Zhukashyapa family, one of the elder brothers visualizes Mahakasyapa and has reached a very high level, which is equivalent to the legendary Breakthrough Level that Lyu Bu often talks about.

This level of strength is extremely rare in Kushan, so for Qiu Lique to invite him is no easy task.

”Very well, I will invite my brother to come later.” Zhukashyapa didn’t refuse, as sending Mahesvara back to the Summit of the Realm of Form seemed quite natural to him, inviting his brother was reasonable.

”Until Mahakasyapa arrives, everyone, please guard your own defenses and do not engage with Mahesvara. If they attack, simply use the army to repel them,” Qiu Lique instructed everyone after receiving affirmation.

All the military generals nodded immediately; they weren’t fools. The opponent’s strength was such that even a military general with Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation could not withstand ten moves one-on-one before being taken down. And that’s with the opponent being playful; otherwise, feeling an expert on another level, it’s impossible to last even ten moves.

Compared to the cultivation methods of Rome, Han Dynasty, and Parthia, after reaching Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, whether continuing to cultivate or breaking through in battle, one could feel the level of Breakthrough Level and continually advance towards it.

However, for Kushan, this was entirely impossible. Their cultivation method capped their limits; what is, is, what is not, is not. Without Inner Qi Separation feeling Breakthrough Level power, their upper limit is essentially the extreme of the Gods and Buddhas they visualize in the Mortal World.

This is why Kushan’s Inner Qi Separation is so abundant, not kidding about fifty or sixty, but to transcend Inner Qi Separation this level compared to other cultivation systems they face two difficulties: the constraint of the visualized Gods and Buddhas, and the constraint of one’s talent.

These two constraints essentially fix the power of Kushan’s Inner Qi Separation in place. Just thinking about the monk inheriting the name of Maudgalyayana, he was exceptionally gifted yet ultimately bound by Maudgalyayana’s limits.

So, if one wishes to be invincible in the world, it is best to follow their path. It may be difficult, but it is the most suitable for you. Imitating others, if fundamentally weak, may allow you to go further, but if truly exceptionally gifted, following your path is the most appropriate way.

”Are you saying, at that time, I attack from the front against the navy while you besiege the city?” Gan Ning frowned, looking at Lyu Bu and asked, astonished that Lyu Bu proposed cooperation.

”As long as you can hold them off, I can turn their newly built city into ruins,” Lyu Bu casually said. After probing for such a long time, he determined that the current Kushan army only had about eleven with Inner Qi Separation, and they were not exactly formidable or weak.

In simple terms, the numbers looked frightening, but when it came down to it, there were two weaklings among them who couldn’t even defeat Li Tiao; you can imagine what Lyu Bu has to fear facing these guys. One against eleven, just one against eleven; he alone can suppress the ten opponents in a fight.

”I am not sure I can hold them, Marquis Wenn. Do you know their overall strength?” Gan Ning asked Lyu Bu incredulously, understanding that it wasn’t a few people, but over two hundred thousand.

Even if many among them were for support and not actual warriors, in Gan Ning’s estimation, in Malacca, the Kushan marine and land forces combined could number over a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.

”Over two hundred thousand, eleven with Inner Qi Separation, and many skilled in small-scale formation battles and Qi Refining to Gang,” Lyu Bu responded nonchalantly. Having challenged them several times, he was not unaware of their capabilities.

Seeing Gan Ning’s twitching mouth, Lyu Bu smiled slightly mischievously, ”You just need to handle the army. Those eleven with Inner Qi Separation combined are no match for me alone. Conditions permitting, I can cut them all down.”

”...” Gan Ning’s mouth twitched repeatedly, unsure how to respond. Lyu Bu, with such prowess, does your wife even know your strength?

”So, you’re suggesting that you attack first, drawing out their Inner Qi Separation, which is their commanders, and then I lead forces to attack their army there?” Gan Ning realized Lyu Bu’s intention after a pause and looked at him. Surprisingly, Lyu Bu used strategy, whereas one would assume his intellect was lacking.

”Yes, exactly! That’s it!” Lyu Bu considered and agreed with himself, planning to draw them out first, then allowing Gan Ning to spearhead the attack.

Although Gan Ning probably wouldn’t be a match, his pirates’ command, against an uncoordinated enemy, could initially suppress them and force them to fight back desperately, while he seizes the moment to breach the newly built city and discover what captivates him inside.

”It’s not impossible, but it’s hard to hide on the sea. I reckon I need at least fifty miles away, and our ship’s speed means you need to hold this group for at least half an hour.” Gan Ning’s mind balanced significantly, realizing Lyu Bu’s limited mental capacity.

”Somehow, I feel you’re thinking something unpleasant.” Lyu Bu glanced at Gan Ning, feeling slightly annoyed. After all, he was entrusted with the faith in Mahesvara and, in a sense, part of Mahesvara, so he possessed some of the Gods and Buddhas’ power. Though he couldn’t wield it, he could subconsciously sense things.

Shocked by Lyu Bu’s words, Gan Ning immediately focused his eyes on his nose, and his nose on his heart, not daring to have random thoughts.

Lyu Bu scanned around, ”You should head north first. We will contact each other later. Don’t worry about Kushan’s Inner Qi Separation issue. Even if more arrive, their numbers need to reach a certain level to pose any threat to me.”

Lyu Bu stated confidently that even in Celestial God Mode, of the eleven attackers, only two could break his defense, hence their strength was insignificant, even if more besieged him.

Gan Ning observed Lyu Bu’s confident expression, realizing his ability to fight eleven with Inner Qi Separation, demonstrating unfathomable strength.

”Then I’ll get going. By the way, can you lend me your Great Kun? I see you’re just letting it roam. If borrowed, it could serve greater purposes.” Gan Ning coughed twice, eager to ride Lyu Bu’s Great Kun.

”Not recently; I am refining Inner Qi. Before knowing your travel plans, I stored refined Inner Qi in the Great Kun,” Lyu Bu decisively refused Gan Ning’s request. Having failed several attempts previously, Lyu Bu, in a fit of rage, decided to launch into Divine War Mode.
