Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Grandmaster Realm? You Are Invincible!_1

”This is one of our family’s properties, used for summer retreats—usually, no one lives here.”

Leah Frost led Carson Flores into a two-story cottage surrounded by a garden in the mountains, turned to look at the lush forest outside, and smilingly said, ”Cultivation is more effective in a quiet place with good air and abundant forests. Taking the Dragon-Tiger Pill, the enhancement won’t be small, and it will be even easier to achieve twice the result with half the effort here!”

”You concentrate on your cultivation, try to digest and absorb the power of the medicine as much as possible, preferably without any interruption, or at least keep it minimal, and it’s best to complete it in one go. I will guard you here to ensure you won’t be disturbed by anything.”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Thank you, Auntie.”

Leah Frost chuckled softly: ”I hope you can step into the ranks of the Innate Grandmasters as soon as possible. With your talent, even if you’ve just entered the realm, your starting strength will definitely not be weak. Even if you encounter a powerful Innate Grandmaster, you might not be able to defeat them, but at least you’ll have a chance to escape. Then, as long as you are careful, you can go anywhere in the world!”

”Okay!”

Carson Flores also harbored anticipation, after all, the opponents he was encountering now regarded the Innate Grandmaster as an insurmountable mountain looming over his head.

Gunner Tate was an Innate Grandmaster!

Carson Flores must enter the Innate!

Carson Flores began his second retreat into solitude with no distractions after becoming a Grandmaster.

One Dragon-Tiger Pill, from digestion to complete absorption, takes about a week. Carson Flores had four pills, so this retreat would last a whole month!

When Carson Flores opened his eyes, he seemed to be wrapped in a thick mist. Within the mist, a pair of eyes twinkled with a sharp gleam, emitting a terrifying aura.

As Carson Flores opened his eyes, the thick mist turned into two white dragons, which quickly entered his nostrils. The surrounding trees rustled without any wind.

With a flash of light and shadow, Leah Frost’s figure appeared at the doorway, her large beautiful eyes staring straight at Carson Flores, filled with anticipation.

”Finished?”

Carson Flores got up, moved his fingers a few times, feeling the Gang Qi flowing through his body like rivers, unable to resist showing an excited smile on his face.

”Yes!”

Leah Frost asked expectantly: ”How is it?”

Carson Flores understood what Leah Frost meant, and excitedly said: ”Peak Great Master, and I have already faintly sensed the existence of the Innate Realm. I feel as though I have one foot in it, no, half a foot. Now I’m just lacking the final opportunity!”

Leah Frost widened her eyes with excitement: ”Peak? Touched the threshold?”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Yes!”

Leah Frost laughed heartily: ”Good, that’s really great news!”

Leah Frost had experienced the breakthrough to the Innate Grandmaster herself, so she knew all too well that touching the threshold and stepping one foot in were key to making a breakthrough.

Countless people are stuck at this bottleneck because they cannot find the threshold.

It’s like coming to the end of a path, where a wall stands—another world lies beyond, with only one door in the wall. But this door is invisible; it’s integrated with the wall itself.

No matter how long you grope in front of this wall, as long as you don’t find the folding door, you won’t be able to move forward an inch even if you run into it head-on. But once you find that door and force your foot through the gap, peeking into the world beyond, hope lies ahead.

For those who have found the threshold, as long as there are no major issues, it’s only a matter of time before they push the door open.

Some will squeeze themselves slowly through this door, while others will accumulate power and burst through in one go...

Carson Flores had already felt the Innate Realm’s presence, even describing it as half a foot in the door, meaning he was very close to fully pushing it open—just one last step away. And that final step might not take long. Of course, with the right opportunity, it might even happen tomorrow.

”Come, strike me with all your might!”

Carson Flores didn’t hold back; his aunt was an Innate Grandmaster, so he naturally didn’t worry about hurting her. He took a deep breath and struck out with his palm.

Gang Qi cut like a knife, his palm as firm as a mountain, striking out with his palm and sweeping Gang Qi like a fierce wind sweeping across a thousand snowy mountains, waves crashing along the shore, the momentum astonishing.

Surprise flashed in Leah Frost’s eyes as she struck out with her palm.

”Bang!”

The ground beneath Leah Frost’s feet collapsed instantly, and she was forced to retreat five steps backwards.

Leah Frost looked at Carson Flores with delight: ”Your combat power is much higher than I estimated. I reckon even if I went all out, it would take at least three palms to kill you!”

Carson Flores blinked, three palms to kill you—is that supposed to be a compliment?

Seeing the bemused look on Carson Flores’s face, Leah Frost couldn’t help but laugh: ”When I killed those three Grandmasters from the Vasquez Family, I only needed one palm each. Once they were struck by me, whatever they were thinking became irrelevant—they died instantly. But you’re different, you at least have a chance to struggle and escape. You might not necessarily manage to get away, but compared to being killed outright with one palm, that’s already much better.”

After a pause, Leah Frost spoke seriously: ”Although you still can’t beat an Innate Grandmaster, if you focus solely on escaping, it would be quite hard for an ordinary Innate Grandmaster to kill you. As for the Grandmaster Realm, you’re invincible!”
