Just short of success, Lu Yao initially felt a mont of dejection.
But when the two most bountiful and beautiful won in his household joined together in his presence, their soft and comforting appearance dispelled all worries, and his dejection vanished instantly.
"Why have you co?"
He greeted them enthusiastically, taking one in each hand and began to knead firmly. The feeling was exceedingly comfortable, and his irritation disappeared in an instant.
Liao Ya showed a hint of shyness and helplessness as she stepped back slightly and said, "It's Er Ya who wants to break through to the Innate realm... Hey~ Stop kneading, you rascal."
"That's great news! Let's go~ and take a look," Lu Yao said, his spirits lifting, ready to move.
However, he noticed Li Pei holding an official docunt in her hand and asked, "Is there a matter?"
Li Pei smiled seductively, removing her husband's wandering hands from her chest as she said, "Let's go to Er Ya first. My issue can wait."
The three of them approached Er Ya and saw the young girl standing there with poise, her delicate features showing no sign of nervousness.
It was Ali who seed anxious and worried beside her.
Upon seeing her seniors arrive, Er Ya bowed deeply and said, "Greetings to all the elders, I am about to make my breakthrough!"
The young lady was already extrely talented, and with Lu Yao's guidance, her foundation had beco exceptionally solid.
Her skin glead with a clear luster, soft and radiant like jade, a sign of abundant vital energy overflowing from within.
Lu Yao looked at his niece with increasing satisfaction and nodded with a smile, "In that case, begin your breakthrough."
Er Ya looked up to the sky, her tongue touching her upper palate "building the golden bridge" as her Inner Breath infused all the Aperture Points of her governor and conception vessels.
Her whole body suddenly shook as the Inner Breath instantly broke through the governor and conception vessels, bridging the connection between heaven and earth!
An energy cycle surrounding her body ford, her Inner Breath turned into True Qi, and the young girl officially ascended to the "Innate Realm"!
The whole process was quick and stable, taking only a few breaths. And thus, a 15-year-old Innate Grandmaster was born!
It was a breakthrough that ca naturally, without force. Everyone wore joyful expressions and congratulated her one after another.
Feeling the True Qi moving inside her like a little mouse, Er Ya was overjoyed.
She quickly knelt to Liao Ya and Lu Yao and gave a deep bow, "Thank you for your nurturing, Master and Uncle. I will never forget this for the rest of my life!"
Liao Ya, beaming with happiness, helped her disciple to stand up and advised her:
"Er Ya, you have exceptional talent, and your breakthrough to the Innate realm was very smooth. But never beco arrogant or complacent! As an Innate Martial Artist, the path of cultivation is just starting."
Lu Yao also offered his agreent, "Don't let your master's efforts go to waste, and don't neglect your Spirit Refining Cultivation either."
Er Ya's face turned serious, and she earnestly replied, "Please rest assured, Master and Uncle, I understand!"
The young lady was so sensible and well-behaved that everyone was quite reassured, showering her with endless praise.
Er Ya blushed, occasionally stealing glances at Lu Yao.
[Now that I am of the Innate Realm, it's ti to reveal my feelings to Uncle.]
She believed that her uncle, who often behaved playfully, would certainly not reject her.
But what happened next disrupted the young girl's plans.
~~~~~~~~~
Seeing that Er Ya's breakthrough was successful, Li Pei then presented the official docunt she was holding, saying:
"The Left Commander has stated that the battle of Izumo should be swift and decisive. Although not explicitly ntioned, it's clear that he wants your decisive intervention to quickly resolve the chaos."
Lu Yao took a quick glance at the docunt and read that Izumo, chanting the slogan 'A hundred million shattered jades,' stubbornly resisted to the end, even arming won and children for battle.
Although the Governnt Forces had the advantage, if the fight continued this way, Izumo would beco a land of scorched earth and death, which wouldn't be conducive to future exploitation and plunder.
```
Major powers nearby watched like tigers stalking their prey, and they definitely would not sit by and watch the Yi Dynasty swallow up Izumo.
Amidst the entanglent of various interests, there was a worry of long nights breeding more dreams. It was for this reason that Left Minister had submitted a petition requesting a swift and decisive battle.
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Then let the Spiritual Falcon Maidens make a trip, three Great Grandmasters capable of supersonic flight will surely settle the matter with a single blow."
Li Pei naturally agreed with this point, nodded with a smile, and said, "That would be very good."
Lu Yao imdiately called over the Spiritual Falcon Maidens and arranged, "You go to Izumo and coordinate with Left Minister to completely crush the resistance of the Izumo people."
Upon hearing this, the three little fairies were imdiately elated, for they very much liked to fight.
But Lu Yao felt that they lacked steadiness and decided it was better to appoint a reliable leader.
Er Ya was calm and efficient with abundant experience in handling affairs—the most suitable candidate for the team leader.
Lu Yao said to her, "You go with Ping An and the rest as a form of training. You will take the lead on this trip, and I entrust you with the Shadow Trailing Sword for protection."
He transferred a very strong Divine Thought into the Shadow Trailing Sword and infused it with a large amount of prayer energy, enough for three strikes.
Er Ya had no choice but to put aside her small sches, took the Shadow Trailing Sword with both hands, and respectfully said, "Your disciple obeys the order."
Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction, feeling certain there would be no doubts.
Next, he distributed all of the divine cleverness stored in his Divine Soul to all the won, including Ali.
This was like emptying his "inventory", as Lu Yao prepared to "Divine Travel" again to gather more divine cleverness, pouring resources into his body and Divine Soul without counting the cost, to strengthen himself in the fastest and most comprehensive way possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ali never expected that she too would get a share and received a generous handful of divine cleverness.
She was imdiately overjoyed and quickly twitched her cat ears, repeatedly expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Celestial Lord, for your generous gift! Thank you, Celestial Lord!"
Lu Yao pinched her soft and squishy cute ears, teasing, "Little kitty, there's no need to be polite. Consider it an investnt in the revival of the Demon Race."
Ali covered her ears, her face blushing red. That area, being densely packed with nerves, felt very strange when touched by soone else.
Just as Lu Yao was about to leave, he suddenly rembered sothing and took out a heap of aerial bombs and the like from the space-ti bubble with a wave of his hand.
These were sponsored by the Star Alliance Military Base in Ryukyu not long ago, mostly from the "Gem Road" series. Furthermore, the country had not joined the "Arms Convention", so there was also a good number of "White Phosphorus Shells" and "Incendiary Bombs".
Now that Lu Yao no longer had need for these toys, they were perfect for the Spiritual Sparrowhawks to take along and use on Izumo.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the adults had left, Er Ya coughed dryly, slung the divine sword over her shoulder, and was about to say a few words to assert her leadership position.
But the three little fairies didn't pay her any attention at all, engrossed in playing with the hundreds of aerial bombs provided by their master.
At that mont, Ji Xiang picked up an MK-77 incendiary bomb and deliberately nudged Ru Yi's plump rear with it.
Ru Yi also hugged a "Cluster White Phosphorus Bomb" and nudged the other's rear in return.
The two nudged back and forth, their movents getting larger and larger, and under normal circumstances, this would escalate into a brawl.
However, they suddenly rembered that the master had warned them not to fight, or they would be "thrown out of the house".
The two won reluctantly set the bombs down and glared at each other.
Just then, a bright idea flashed through Ru Yi's mind, and she thought of a way to retaliate.
She hit herself on the head with a "thud" and yelled at Ji Xiang, "I'm hitting your mom!"
Ji Xiang was stunned for a mont, then also hit her own head with a punch, defiantly saying, "I'm hitting your grandma!"
The two of them went back and forth like this, with the thudding noises echoing continuously, leaving Er Ya speechless for a mont and suddenly feeling that the mission might be more difficult than she had imagined.
