Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

Night.

At this moment, Liang Sheng was unusually not cultivating as the night sky to the southeast of Jinzhou City was ablaze. Thick smoke filled the air and the clashes of battle could be heard.

Under such circumstances, there was no way Liang Sheng could settle down to cultivate. He even felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

For some reason, he had an intuition that tonight would not be peaceful. At the root of this unease was his insufficient strength.

If his strength was powerful enough to face any emergencies with equanimity, would he be feeling like this?

Nevertheless, Liang Sheng was not overly anxious, after all, time was on his side. He was confident that even a postnatal nine-layer master would not live as long as he would.

As long as he was careful and prudent, there would come a day when he could face any situation fearlessly.

Despite the slow progress of his cultivation, the reversal of Longevity Skill’s tenth layer to cultivate other health cultivation methods had doubled his efforts.

What’s more, it was not difficult to cultivate the health cultivation methods. Ordinary people could do it casually, only encountering a bottleneck in their cultivation.

But this was a non-issue for Liang Sheng. Under the talent of Innocent Foolishness, there was no bottleneck to all the techniques in the world, and he only needed to cultivate in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Liang Sheng’s attribute panel had changed compared to before:

Name: Liang Sheng

Age: 26

Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-grade)

Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (Fifth Layer), Longevity Skill (Tenth Layer), Other Lifespan Cultivation Techniques (Fourth Layer) [PS: Too many techniques, omitted]

Realm: Martial Artist Postnatal Fifth Layer (60%)

The most surprising development was not the satisfactory progress of his health cultivation methods, but that Liang Sheng had finally cultivated the fifth layer of the Liang Family’s unique Golden Dragon Technique.

This meant that he now possessed the real strength of the postnatal fivefold, not just the average strength of the health techniques making up the postnatal fivefold.

In the courtyard, the servants and guards like Ma San were also staying awake. Under Liang Sheng’s arrangement, they rotated to patrol, ensuring safety.

After more than an hour, the sound of the battle in the southeast finally began to die down. Liang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the situation could still be controlled. But considering the grand scale of tonight’s events, the county government office would probably convene the three families for a conference.

By now, the three families must have determined a victor, otherwise, the fighting in the southeast would not have ceased.

At this thought, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still ordered Ma San to be extra careful tonight and not let down their guard.

After all, there were far too many stories about those who fell before dawn. He wouldn’t relax his guard and make mistakes before the unrest subsided.

Since the closer the finish line, the more cautious one should be.

After Liang Sheng relaxed, he noticed that it was already late, so he simply went to bed. After all, maintaining a high level of tension for a long time was indeed tiring.

However, as Liang Sheng lay down to rest, two bloodied men holding steel knives carefully walked through an alleyway not far away.

“Big brother, I think we’ve taken a wrong turn. This is Liang Family’s territory.”

“Damn!”

The older brother cursed, “All because of the Liang and Wu families’ bastards were chasing too closely. In the rush, we actually ended up here.”

The brothers initially wanted to leave. But after stealthily walking some distance, the older one recognized what place this was.

The Shengde Building.

He had been here before with people from the Gao family. For some reason, he had a sudden thought. This was the property of the eldest son of Liang Family’s Waste.

And the eldest son of Liang Family’s Waste lived not far from here!

At this thought, his heart thumped uncontrollably. Both he and his brother were at the Postnatal Threefold Realm, plus with the Gao family’s failure tonight, if he could bring back the head of the despised heir of the Liang family, it would indeed merit a great accomplishment.

Then, the Gao family would certainly lavish rewards upon him. With these merits, his breakthrough into the fourth layer and achievement of intermediate-level martial arts would not just be a dream.

As for the Liang family’s retaliation?

Right now, the conflict between the Gao and Wu families had reached a tipping point. Plus, with the Gao family now possessing two elders at the ninth level, what was there to fear from the Liang family?

With this in mind, his heart was inflamed with determination. He directly grabbed his younger brother and laid out his plans.

After listening, his brother couldn’t resist the temptation brought by the prospects of advancing in martial arts either. After all, which martial artist could resist it?

Moreover, they were dealing with the despised and neglected Liang trash. How could he possibly escape their surprise attack?

Now that they had made up their minds, the two wasted no time, and under the moonlight, they set their course towards Liang Sheng’s Mansion.

Although they were only on the Postnatal threefold realm, their combat experience was rich — it was the only way they could have managed to reach this point.

When they were nearing Liang Sheng Mansion, they couldn’t help but frown. Ma San and others, following Liang Sheng’s orders, were still patrolling constantly.

At first, the brothers were somewhat hesitant, but after observing for a while, they couldn’t help but to lick their lips with anticipation.

As expected of the Liang family’s disregarded trash; there was only one Postnatal Threefold guard, and the rest of them were just Second Level Post-Natal Realm trash.

Having worked together, the two had impeccable understanding of each other. At this moment, they exchanged a glance, the elder one made a hand gesture and the two of them carefully infiltrated the mansion.

They didn’t plan on making a forceful entry, even though they were confident of dealing with the guards. Why create trouble when they can avoid alerting them?

Like shadows, the two slid along the corners of the walls, swiftly reaching the backyard, and with cautious probing, they gradually closed in on Liang Sheng.

At this moment, Liang Sheng, who had been deep asleep, was abruptly jolted awake.

A murderous aura!

Every martial artist had their sense of perception. The higher their realm, the stronger their perception. However, at this moment, Liang Sheng forced himself to remain calm, making no significant movements. His hands, however, carefully reached for the knife by his bed.

The enemy hadn’t appeared yet so without knowing the enemy’s capabilities, how could he rashly act and potentially alert the enemy?

The two hitmen from the Gao family had already ascertained Liang Sheng’s room and gently entered from the window without making any noise.

“Truly the trash of the Liang Family!”

Using the moonlight that was filtering through the window, they saw Liang Sheng immersed in sleep, not moving at all, thus they relaxed.

Their analysis revealed that Liang Sheng was only at the Postnatal Second Realm and posed no threat to them. While relaxing, they also felt somewhat annoyed.

If not for his prestigious birth, this trash wouldn’t even have reached the Postnatal Second Realm. If it was them, they would have probably already broken through to the intermediate level of martial arts, high-level martial arts weren’t impossible either.

With these thoughts, they approached Liang Sheng cautiously. Knowing the great accomplishment was about to be in their grasp, the excitement of the brothers grew.

They were now at the edge of the bed. The elder brother gave a signal with his eyes. Without hesitating, the younger one raised the knife and prepared to behead Liang Sheng.

But, the next moment, a flash of blade light shot across, chilling to the bone!

Since when did the younger brother’s knife skills become so sharp?

The elder brother was slightly taken aback upon seeing this. But immediately, he realized something was wrong, just in time to see his younger brother’s head separate from his body and crumble to the ground.

Danger!

But by the time he realized this, it was too late for him to escape. All he saw was a flash of a blade light, coming towards him in an instant.

Looking at the two corpses laying on the ground, Liang Sheng, standing by the bed, could not help but turn a little pale. After all, this was his first time taking a life in both his lives.

For eight years, no one knew of my cultivation, but today when I stepped out, blood was shed!
