Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1164: Chapter 832: Hearing of the Tears of the Goddess Again

Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Gu Changsheng, then shook her head helplessly.

This woman, what could she say? She considered herself to have judged countless people, yet this seemingly unruly, actually inscrutable woman, made her feel powerless out of nowhere!

Feeling helpless towards Gu Changsheng, Empress Dowager Xiao didn’t push further, and after giving her a sideways glance, turned her gaze toward Zhou Mu.

Gu Changsheng was utterly baffled by the cold glance, hummed through her nose, and lowered her head silently.

Alright! She kindly wanted to ease the atmosphere, yet it was obvious among the three people present, she was the only one who appreciated it!

Ignored, indeed!

Then so be it... no more speaking.

”Zhou Mu, this palace knows your martial arts are unparalleled, at such an age, having this level of achievement is indeed not easy, however, if you wish to advance further, it’s not as easy as you might think!” Empress Dowager Xiao said seriously, looking at Zhou Mu.

Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao continued indifferently, ”You learned from Mr. Di, and acquired such great skills, your mind is steady, and you know how to conceal your talents. You use secret techniques to suppress your own cultivation; do you think that attempting to break through that final step to the Conquest Realm is also not difficult?”

Zhou Mu’s eyebrows furrowed even more upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, also furrowed her eyebrows slightly, looking at Empress Dowager Xiao with an inexplicable expression, somewhat unable to understand the meaning of her words.

What on earth did this mean?

She knew of the evildoer’s skills, and under normal circumstances, if the evildoer did not repress himself, ascending to the Conquest Realm was really not that difficult. But from Empress Dowager Xiao’s words, it seemed there was more to the story?

Empress Dowager Xiao, wise with age, could tell what the two were thinking from their reactions, and shook her head helplessly, continuing in a low voice, ”Zhou Mu, you were taught by Mr. Di, you should know that Mr. Di forsook literature for martial arts, entering the Martial Dao himself, and he’s exceptionally talented, self-taught in martial arts. However, until you reach that point, you remain unaware of the hidden truths within. Zhou Mu, Mr. Di imparted secret techniques to repress yourself, but he couldn’t teach you how to seek the Conquest Realm, right?”

As Empress Dowager Xiao finished, Zhou Mu immediately raised his head, a single, nearly invisible glimmer of shock flashing in his deep black eyes.

How well does Gu Changsheng understand Zhou Mu?

Just through this one glance, Gu Changsheng knew that Empress Dowager Xiao’s words were not untrue, she was probably correct!

”I humbly seek your guidance, senior!”

Finally, under Gu Changsheng’s visibly shocked expression, Zhou Mu slowly clasped his hands, bowing and speaking in a deep voice, ”My teacher indeed never taught me how to seek the Conquest Realm, and I also know I have residual toxins unpurged, suppressing myself is the way to preservation, hence I have not sought further progress in the Martial Dao for many years...”

”Residual toxins? Haha...” Empress Dowager Xiao laughed upon hearing this, her mouth curling with a touch of arrogance, ”Zhou Mu, even if you are an unparalleled talent, without opportunity, seeking the Conquest Realm is also wishful thinking! I tell you, entering the Transformation Realm is transcendence, those who practice martial arts in the world number countless, and their ultimate pursuit is no different! But to seek this realm, is easier said than done! Let alone you repressing yourself for years, unable to seek the Conquest Realm, even if you did not repress yourself, you might not smoothly and safely ascend to the Conquest Realm!”

Empress Dowager Xiao’s words successfully changed the expressions of both Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu.

To be honest, it was truly the first time they heard about the matters regarding the Transformation Realm, although the Protector of the Clan of Great Zhou was also a person of the Transformation Realm. But according to what Zhou Mu once said, that old man is utterly reticent, knows nothing, and is extremely secretive about the matters of the Transformation Realm!

”Senior, just say what you have to say, I promise, I’ll never bully you again!” Gu Changsheng, being impatient, hastily urged when seeing Empress Dowager Xiao stop speaking here.

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Empress Dowager Xiao immediately rolled her eyes, pursing her lips, ”Fine! I will be brief! If you wish to seek the Conquest Realm, there are two elements, first, you need sufficient cultivation, in this regard, Zhou Mu, you’re not far off, and girl, you as well, once you integrate the inner strength in your body, you would reach the bottleneck. The second, is opportunity, a chance for you to transcend. Among those known to seek the Realm of Conquest, excluding those hidden from the world, there are only a few known, and as far as I know, their current situations are likely similar to mine!”

Empress Dowager Xiao’s words left Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu even more perplexed, as they exchanged glances filled with confusion.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, as if making some decision, continued solemnly, ”This palace may as well tell you, last night you witnessed, the current extent of my power isn’t much stronger compared to you. The so-called Transformation Realm Protectors of the Four Kingdoms are likely similar to me, but what I must tell you is, my former cultivation far surpassed what I currently show by a hundredfold, the limit I show now isn’t the genuine prowess of a person in the Transformation Realm!”

”...”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded!

Scared by Dowager Empress Xiao!

And Zhou Mu was the same, although he didn’t show it on his face, the deep shock in his eyes was unmistakable.

Higher than Dowager Empress Xiao’s current cultivation by a hundred times? What’s that concept?

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu could hardly imagine!

Their shock was within Dowager Empress Xiao’s expectations, so she continued slowly, ”The reason for this is simply because we are not the First Generation! Not the Primordial Transformative Realm! Although we can maintain the divine skill of spirit body’s emergence, this body ultimately cannot bear the power belonging to a person of the Transformation Realm, because the opportunity to conquer the Transformation Realm back in the day is not replicable. To truly enable the spirit body to find another host who can conquer the Transformation Realm, it’s really too difficult! So we can follow the old methods to train cultivation to the extreme but cannot conquer the real Transformation Realm again! Do you, understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng glanced at Zhou Mu, her long lashes fluttering, ”It seems I understand...”

Apparently, Dowager Empress Xiao meant that she truly possessed the capabilities of the Transformation Realm only during her first life. In later reincarnations, she could not reach that height again...

First Generation...

Dammit, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt chaotic!

She suddenly felt that conquering the Transformation Realm, reaching the supreme realm of martial artists is really not an easy task because just the word ’opportunity’ alone crushes many people, and dammit, opportunity is something invisible and intangible, how could it be so easily encountered? You think it’s street cabbages? Easy to find?

The ephemeral things are truly impossibly elusive!

Otherwise, Dowager Empress Xiao wouldn’t have failed to succeed again after several reincarnations beyond the First Generation...

”Therefore, what I want to tell you in the end is that although this journey is full of unpredictable dangers and fortunes, it may not be without chance and opportunity, because that Divine Demise Land holds immense opportunity. Legend has it there’s a Tears of the Goddess in the Divine Demise Land, an unparalleled supreme treasure, one who acquires it can transcend the mundane, hence attracting many Itinerant World experts who flock to it, but none have succeeded as they never appeared before the world again, including myself. This is also why I lingered outside of the Divine Demise Land but ultimately retreated!”

Dowager Empress Xiao hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Changsheng was already wide-eyed in shock.

Goddess’s Tear!

She knows this! And definitely won’t forget!

Because Little Monk Bu Jie once told her that if she wanted to resurrect her mother, only the Goddess’s Tear could do it! That’s why she would go to any lengths to venture into Divine Demise Land!

Now hearing Dowager Empress Xiao mention it again, Gu Changsheng can’t say she isn’t shocked!

”So, it seems that this Goddess’s Tear, I must obtain it, because that item is the key to my mother’s resurrection!” Gu Changsheng did not hide her intentions and immediately said.

Dowager Empress Xiao was not at all surprised as she seemed to have predicted it, ”Therefore, as long as you can find that supreme treasure, this trip will not be in vain! Your chances of you both conquering the Transformation Realm will need no further searching!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance and nodded.

Dowager Empress Xiao glanced at the sky, surrounding was already pitch black, the noises from the arrival of Itinerant World’s people at the front yard were gradually fading, probably more people would arrive soon, so she didn’t say much more, looking at the two, she once again reminded them, ”Thus, regarding how to stabilize the realm, train martial arts to the extreme, touch that threshold and enter the Transformation Realm, you should consult with Beauty Sai, it was merely serendipity that this palace experienced it once during the First Generation. In terms of experience, in this world, besides those hidden clans, only legitimate lineage disciples of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa have summarized the experiences of ancestors. You have some connections with Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, this is also a chance, getting their help will make everything much easier!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu heard this and nodded again.

Gu Changsheng was somewhat surprised in her heart, Beauty Sai, well, when she first met Beauty Sai, she appeared as just an ordinary maid at Wind Cloud Inn, but now it seems, she is actually a legitimate lineage disciple of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa!

No wonder Beauty Sai knows the integrative method of power transmission! Turns out she’s deeply hidden!

Tsk, tsk...

”Do not rush, remain calm, strengthen yourself diligently, so that when entering the Far North Godfall Site, there will be less danger!” Dowager Empress Xiao reiterated, feeling footsteps approaching, then nodded to the two, ”Then this palace shall return to the Great Zhou, you must take care in the future!”

”So soon? It’s already time for meals, how about you stay for dinner before leaving?”
