Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Just one step away from opening the door to becoming a Level 4 Awakener!

Seeing that the four of them had all hit a bottleneck in their cultivation, Lin Quan took the opportunity during dinner to give the three women a wink.

After the dishes were cleared away and the four of them had finished washing up, they all gathered in the center of the living room.

Before Lin Quan could speak, Qiao Jingjing, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wang Yuyan all looked at him in unison, their expressions perfectly synchronized, and said in unison:

"Husband (Quan-ge), what are the plans for next?"

Lin Quan's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, and after a slight pause, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Let's leave Jingjing aside for now..."

"Zhu Qing, Yu Yan, the three of us have all reached the pinnacle of the Acquired Realm in martial arts cultivation."

"Next step—breaking through to the Innate Realm—do you have any plans in mind?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Quan's eyes narrowed, his gaze sweeping across like an arrow, firmly fixing on Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing. The two paused slightly, exchanged a quick glance, and then simultaneously looked at Qiao Jingjing.

After a moment, Wang Yuyan spoke softly, "Brother Quan, do you have any plans?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Quan smiled brightly and said, "I plan to go to Zhu Qing's place and try to absorb a soul ring."

Swish—swish—swish—

Three pairs of eyes lit up simultaneously, like sparks igniting.

The spirit ring system in the world of martial spirits is indeed fraught with danger.

Breaking through realms by relying on external forces is like walking a tightrope; the slightest carelessness can lead to a collapsed foundation and damage to one's soul.

However, this system is not entirely without merit—

Especially in the Martial Soul World, where Zhu Qing is from, although martial arts are weak, Soul Masters support the upper limit of the entire world.

Not to mention the gods who sit high in the heavens, the soul ring itself is already a mark formed by the Heavenly Dao!

More importantly, since Zhu Zhuqing embarked on the path of martial arts, the two soul rings she had absorbed in her early years were gradually melted and reshaped by the Formless True Qi!

Now, those two soul rings have long since shed all impurities, their entire bodies glowing purple, and they have suddenly leaped to the thousand-year realm—that's right, soul rings that have been completely refined can actually increase their lifespan on their own!

The longer the duration, the sharper the soul skill becomes, with its power increasing layer by layer. It has long since transcended the scope of ordinary combat techniques, and faintly reveals the majestic aura of esoteric magic.

It was this quiet transformation in Zhu Zhuqing that truly ignited the flame in Lin Quan's heart.

I used to be wary of the hidden dangers of spirit rings, but now I see—where are the hidden dangers in a spirit skill that can grow and evolve along with the main cultivation technique? It is clearly a living, breathing innate divine ability!

The superpowers that everyone awakens are talents dormant deep within their bloodlines;

The arduous training in martial arts served as the ladder for the four to climb to a higher place;

As for the skills formed by the spirit rings, they are the sharp blades for slaying enemies and breaking through formations!

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing and the other two exchanged glances, their understanding becoming clear.

Qiao Jingjing was the first to smile: "I've been eyeing that soul skill for a long time, and I fully support it!"

Changing the subject, she asked the other two gently, "Yu Yan, Zhu Qing, what about you?"

The two met her gaze, and as if by telepathy, nodded almost simultaneously, their voices clear and firm:

"It's all up to Brother Quan to decide."

Seeing this, Lin Quan said no more and simply said, "Alright, we'll set off tomorrow morning and head straight for the Martial Soul World."

"Get plenty of rest tonight and get some rest early."

He raised his hand and waved, then turned and walked towards his room.

Without hesitation, Qiao Jingjing got up and followed.

Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing stood still, their fingertips lightly touching before quickly separating.

The light and shadow in their eyes flickered, as if they had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they only turned into a silent ripple.

Having spent so much time together, and bound by the contract, Lin Quan's image had already been deeply etched into their hearts.

Feelings had already taken root, only lacking a confession, a helping hand, and a decisive moment.

But Lin Quan didn't poke at that thin, cicada-wing-like window paper, nor did they ever lift it.

"Zhuqing, let's share a bed tonight."

Wang Yuyan sighed softly, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and turned to go back to her room.

……

An hour later, the candlelight in Linquan's house went out, and silence returned.

The night flowed silently, and the night passed in a flash.

The next day, as dawn broke, Lin Quan, looking radiant, was already frying eggs and cooking porridge in front of the stove.

After the four finished their simple meal, they packed their bags and put them away properly.

Lin Quan's gaze swept over the three people, confirming their identities. He then flipped his palm, and the Time-Space Mirror emitted a faint glow—

In the next instant, four figures landed steadily in the small courtyard of Soto City.

The blue bricks, low walls, and old locust tree shadows remain the same, but the once empty courtyard now has four figures standing out from nowhere.

It was Lin Quan and his group who crossed the border and arrived.

They have pushed open this door far too many times.

No matter which realm they travel to, their final destination is always based on the location of the person who made the contract.

If the contracting party is no longer in the current plane, then the place where it left will be its final destination.

For this reason, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two women always appeared within arm's reach of Lin Quan.

The small courtyard with blue tiles in front of us is the very place where Zhu Zhuqing left before.

Therefore, when the four of them stepped into the Martial Soul World, the place where their toes landed was still this tranquil courtyard.

Her gaze swept over the blue bricks, bamboo fence, and half-closed wooden gate in the courtyard, and Qiao Jingjing turned to look at Lin Quan, asking:

"Should we soar through the air at breakneck speed, or follow the usual rules of this world to get there?"

Meeting the gazes of the three, Lin Quan frowned slightly: "To fly through the air, isn't that too ostentatious..."

Although the four had solid foundations and diverse skills, far surpassing ordinary soul masters, their actual combat strength was at most barely enough to reach the threshold of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly rough cultivation methods in this world; it relies heavily on soul rings and soul skills, and the methods are clearly defined.

However, the strict hierarchy of power and the profoundness of the laws governing the planes are not as simple as they appear on the surface!

Not to mention the heavens above, where the divine realm hangs high, looking down upon all living beings as if they were ants—

Any disturbance in this realm is like lighting a lamp in the dark, easily leading to disaster!

If this were the martial arts world where Wang Yuyan lived, even with grandmasters in charge and great grandmasters hidden in the depths of the clouds...

Of Lin Quan's group, only Qiao Jingjing stepped into the Innate Realm.

He can roam freely using his mental power and shows no fear even when facing a grandmaster;

Moreover, the world's barriers are loose, allowing for both offense and defense, and a safe retreat is as solid as a rock.

But the Martial Soul World is different—the blade of divine punishment hangs above their heads, and the ropes of the Heavenly Dao tread beneath their feet!

Especially the Tang family father and son, with the Asura God standing behind them, whose divine power is like a prison, immeasurable.

Who dares to say that the four of them, with their agile movements, will not attract the attention of those above the heavens?

"Taking off into the air is not an option, and hiring a carriage would be too conspicuous..."

"Why not hike to the Star Dou Great Forest and hone our lightness skills and agility along the way?"

After she finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing and the other two exchanged smiles, remaining silent and tacitly agreeing.

"Since there are no objections, let's set off immediately."

Lin Quan called out softly, then pushed open the door and went out.

The four stepped out of the courtyard, their steps never faltering, heading straight for the heart of the starry sky.

The Lingbo Weibu technique unfolds quietly, the figure appears to be strolling leisurely, but in reality, with one step, the person is already three zhang away.

Qiao Jingjing was the most outstanding—upon closer inspection, her feet never touched the dust, and with each step she took, it seemed as if an air current was lifting her up, making her as light as a feather, always suspended in half an inch of empty air.
