Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde's Divine Sense converged in the air. They searched above Sha Yu Island for a while before retreating separately.
Fu Zhengqing helped Sha Qingsi conceal all her King Realm aura. Just like when Qu Hongde advanced to the King Realm, unless someone saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to sense the fluctuation of laws of a new King Realm cultivator.
"Elder Qu, do you know how Ambassador Sha broke through?"
With a casual wave of his hand, Fu Zhengqing opened a spatial door and stepped into the secret cultivation room where Qu Hongde was.
Seeing that Qu Hongde had already prepared hot tea and was waiting for him, Fu Zhengqing didn't stand on ceremony. He directly sat in front of Qu Hongde and asked Qu Hongde in a soft voice.
"Elder Qu seemed to have gone to Sha Yu Island personally just now. Did you already find some clues at that time?"
Qu Hongde shook his head slightly. "Lord Fu, you overestimate I. I just went there to ensure the safety of I's savior. I didn't find anything unusual."
"However, Qingsi being able to break through to the Half-step King Realm at that time was indeed a little out of I's expectations."
Qu Hongde said, "Things like level-7 spirit fruits are actually far less effective than level-7 spirit herbs. Before her, many peak Grandmasters had taken them, but there were very few who could take the opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao and step into the King Realm."
"She was able to successfully comprehend the Great Dao and step into the King Realm after taking two level-7 spirit fruits in a row. It's enough to show that her aptitude and comprehension ability are both excellent."
Fu Zhengqing nodded slightly. Qu Hongde's words made sense. Sha Qingsi's aptitude was indeed very good to be able to step into the Half-step King Realm from the peak Grandmaster Realm with just two level-7 spirit fruits.
However, no matter how good her aptitude was, it wasn't the reason why she could successfully break through to the King Realm in such a short time.
Apart from the few Emperors back then, no one had ever been so awesome. Within an hour after becoming a Half-step King, she had broken through again and directly become a true King Realm expert.
If Sha Qingsi really had such heaven-defying aptitude and comprehension ability, she wouldn't still be at the peak Grandmaster Realm until she was almost 100 years old. She also wouldn't need to rely on external forces to successfully break through and step into the Half-step King Realm.
"Elder Qu, you ought to be the clearest about exactly how great the gap between a Half-step King Realm expert and a true King Realm expert is."
Fu Zhengqing said indifferently, "Although it sounds like it's only half a step away, it's not that easy to take this half a step and successfully cross the threshold of the King Realm with the other foot."
"For this reason, you tempered yourself in the Half-step King Realm for an entire 83 years. Even though the Viper's Venom played a part in this, you should know how difficult it was during this period of time."
It wasn't just Qu Hongde, even he, Fu Zhengqing, had experienced almost 20 years of bitter tempering before he stepped into the King Realm from the Half-step King Realm all those years ago, and he was only able to attain his current King Fu in one go.
"I don't think Sha Qingsi's talent and comprehension are stronger than both of you. There must be something we don't know about."
Fu Zhengqing said seriously, "I want to get to the bottom of this!"
Hearing this, Qu Hongde's expression gradually turned solemn. The teacup in his hand returned to its original place. He raised his head and looked at Fu Zhengqing, "Is this okay? This is Qingsi's personal opportunity. If she's unwilling to share it, I think we shouldn't force her to do it. Otherwise, she might have a grudge in her heart. "
If he didn't know Fu Zhengqing's character and knew that he wasn't doing this for his own benefit, Qu Hongde might have already splashed the hot tea in his hand on his face.
Prying into someone's secrets and seizing someone's opportunity wasn't something a human King Realm expert should do.
Fu Zhengqing's idea and request were already a bit too much.
Moreover, from the moment she took the last step, Sha Qingsi's identity was already different. If she wasn't willing to do something, even the two of them couldn't force her.
"Elder Qu should understand what I mean." Fu Zhengqing's expression didn't change. He said, "I just want to know if Sha Qingsi's breakthrough method is feasible for everyone."
"All these years, apart from cultivating, I've been studying the invisible barrier between the peak of the Master Realm and the King Realm. I've been hoping to find or open up a shortcut so that all the Masters in the human race can have a chance to pry into the Great Dao and become a King Realm expert in one fell swoop. This will completely change the half-dead human race's decline!"
"Sha Qingsi was able to complete the breakthrough so quickly. There must be some secret of the Great Dao that ordinary people can't understand. If it can be shared for everyone to study and figure out, it might be unexpected!"
At this moment, Fu Zhengqing's expression was excited. Under his handsome and elegant appearance, there seemed to be the soul of a research maniac hidden.
"Of course, I won't force her to share the secret of her breakthrough. I can use my years of comprehension of the Great Dao's rules to exchange with her."
Fu Zhengqing said, "She has just broken through and doesn't have a deep understanding of the Great Dao's rules. She needs these experiences to quickly stabilize and improve her cultivation realm. She probably won't refuse."
Qu Hongde's expression changed. He didn't expect Fu Zhengqing to share the Great Dao's rules that he had comprehended in order to pry into the secret of Sha Qingsi's breakthrough.
Did he have to work so hard?
While he was passing on the Great Dao's rules, he was also completely exposing his flaws and shortcomings in the Great Dao's rules to everyone! Wasn't he afraid that these rules and experiences would leak out and be grasped by his enemies?
Fu Zhengqing's heart wasn't ordinary!
Qu Hongde shook his head and sighed. He didn't expect Lord Fu, who had always been calm and had the overall situation under control, to have such an impulsive and irrational side.
Under normal circumstances, King Realm experts at their level would only reveal their Great Dao's rules to their relatives or disciples to comprehend, unless it was in front of their close relatives or disciples whom they trusted the most.
Other than that, very few people would be willing to reveal their Great Dao and pass on their experiences to outsiders so easily.
This was because it would increase the chances of their hidden rules being leaked. Once their opponents or demons from outside the domain got hold of their rules, it would be equivalent to completely exposing their shortcomings and shortcomings in front of others. In a real life and death battle, they would be restricted in all aspects, and the danger factor would multiply. There was even a possibility of death.
"Alright!" Seeing how persistent Fu Zhengqing was, Qu Hongde didn't continue to persuade him. He said, "I'll speak on your behalf and sound out Qingsi's intentions. However, if she doesn't agree, I hope Lord Fu won't have any misgivings. "
A faint smile appeared on Fu Zhengqing's face. He said, "Of course. Everyone has their own aspirations. If she doesn't want to, no one will force her. However, I believe Head Emissary Sha should be able to feel my sincerity. I have no ill intentions towards her. "
Qu Hongde nodded gently. He trusted Fu Zhengqing's character.
Moreover, to be honest, it wasn't just Fu Zhengqing. Even an old man like him was extremely curious about Sha Qingsi's sudden breakthrough.
Fu Zhengqing's previous words were right. Even if Sha Qingsi had the hope of becoming a King, it shouldn't have been so fast.
However, now, she had truly broken through right under their noses. The aura and pressure that belonged to a King couldn't be fake. No one would believe that there were no other reasons for this.
Therefore, Fu Zhengqing couldn't be blamed for being so excited. If there was a shortcut between a half-step King and a true King, to the Human Federation, it would definitely be a great joy that wasn't inferior to the discovery of the Spiritual Energy Defense Array.
However, was this possible?
If there really was such a shortcut, the Human Race wouldn't have less than a hundred Kings after nearly 140 years of hardship and setbacks.
Qu Hongde shook his head slightly. He didn't have much hope for Fu Zhengqing's research.
"Of course, this matter isn't urgent. It won't be too late to mention it after Head Emissary Sha's cultivation is completely stabilized."
Seeing that Qu Hongde had no objections, Fu Zhengqing was relieved.
Why didn't he ask Sha Qingsi directly? He was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding and backlash from Sha Qingsi, which would cause the Northwest Guardian Residence to lose its third King Stage expert after so much effort.
Qu Hongde was different. He was famous in Dai Xing City for being a person of virtue and prestige. No matter which faction met him, they would more or less give him some face. If he personally came out to mediate, even if it didn't work out, there would still be some room for buffer.
"Old Qu, actually, I have something more important to discuss with you this time!"
Fu Zhengqing sat up straight, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He said to Qu Hongde in a serious tone, "Now that we have three Kings in our House of Guardians, I feel that the time has come. We can completely remove some unstable factors!"
Qu Hongde's heart trembled, and his eyebrows twitched slightly. He didn't expect Fu Zhengqing to be so decisive and impatient.
"Have you thought it through?" Qu Hongde asked, "Although that old thing from the Wang Family doesn't have many people, Lai Hao is still a King Stage expert. With him around, the demon beasts from the outer region will more or less have some scruples."
"Moreover, if we forcefully expel him and the Wang Family of Taikang, we will definitely become mortal enemies. When we meet again in the future, there won't even be a hint of friendliness on the surface!"
"Old Qu, you don't have to persuade me anymore. As early as 30 years ago, when Grandmaster Nan Nan was in danger, I had already thought it through!"
Fu Zhengqing's expression was cold, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He said sternly, "As a warrior of the northwest, the Wang Family's Elder has repeatedly disobeyed the Guardian Residence's orders. He sat and watched as the foreign beast kings ran amok in the northwest region, causing countless deaths and injuries to the residents. I'm already magnanimous enough not to kill such a person!"
Fu Zhengqing brought up the matter from 30 years ago again. In addition, when the four foreign beast kings besieged Dai Xing City yesterday, the Wang Family's Elder once again ignored them and ignored the lives of the Guardian Residence and the tens of millions of residents in Dai Xing City.
Even a good-natured person like Qu Hongde had a burning anger in his heart, let alone a young man like Fu Zhengqing.
The accumulated hatred was too deep, and there was no way to resolve it!
Moreover, the Wang Family's Elder had already angered everyone yesterday. If Qu Hongde and Sha Qingsi had not advanced to the King Stage, Fu Zhengqing might have continued to endure for the sake of the big picture.
But now, the Guardian Residence had two new Kings. The deterrent effect of the Wang Family's Elder was no longer so obvious. Fu Zhengqing had fewer scruples in his heart and naturally would not be polite to them anymore!
"Alright!" Qu Hongde nodded seriously. "That old thing from the Wang Family is indeed not suitable to continue staying in the northwest region. Since Lord Fu has already made a decision, I will fully comply!"
Fu Zhengqing's face lit up and he flattered Qu Hongde. "Old Qu is righteous!"
Qu Hongde accepted it calmly and asked directly, "When do you plan to take action?"
"As soon as possible!" A murderous look flashed across Fu Zhengqing's face. He said, "It's best if they can leave Taikang City tonight!"
"That's good." Qu Hongde straightened his back and said firmly, "Tonight, the two of us will make a trip to Taikang City and see if that Elder Wang will give us face and take the initiative to leave the northwest region."
"If he's willing to accept the reality, that's the best." Fu Zhengqing's hostility rose. He said lightly, "However, I hope that he can be more unyielding. This way, I will have a legitimate reason to kill him on the spot and get rid of all future troubles!"
