Ling Yun and Tang Meng arrived at Mansion Number One quickly. Ling Yun gave Tang Meng orders to prepare at least ten daysâ worth of food and plain water for him and Little White as well as other necessities.
Tang Meng asked if he had to prepare any ammunition or weaponry. However, Ling Yun smiled and refused. When he was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Three, he was able to avoid all of Deepaâs ground-level shots. Obviously, that was unnecessary now that he was at stage six.
After dismissing Tang Meng, Ling Yun took Dugu Mo to create talismans continuously. Working until dusk, it was late at night before they stopped.
Ling Yun was pretty lucky. He managed to create several Level Two Lightning Trap, Water Trap, Gold, and Defense Talismans today. It left him feeling great.
The Lightning Trap and Water Trap Talismans were naturally more expensive than the Fire and Clear Water Talismans. Before, Ling Yun could only create level one talismans. Now that he was much stronger, he could even create Level Two Lightning Trap Talismans. This was very helpful to Little White.
By creating talismans like there was no tomorrow, the Qi in Ling Yunâs body was continuously replenished. The cultivation progress for his realms also soared. Now, he had reached the mid-stages of Physique Tempering Stage Six and was heading towards the pinnacle.
âHey, arenât you from the Divine Physicians Sect or something? You havenât been cultivating at all. Why are we drawing these talismans all day and night?â
Dugu Mo had been roped into this for two days. He was so tired that his back was aching and his legs cramped. He finally had time to stop and take a rest. Upset, he couldnât hold back.
Ling Yun only smiled dryly and didnât explain much. Since this world had advanced technology that was part of a humanâs way of self-improvement, creating these talismans was part of Ling Yunâs superhuman methods too. Furthermore, it was very strong.
When in times of need, he intended to use them. Ling Yun didnât treat this as a taboo either. Furthermore, he would be able to create pills soon too. When he finally reached the mid-stages of cultivating his Qi, he intended to forge weapons.
Talismans, pills, weapons, and battle spells were all tools that would strengthen Ling Yunâs attack and defense. They improved his fighting ability. As long as he could improve that, Ling Yun would never reject any method.
The Great Cultivation World operated based on cultivation realms. If oneâs fists were stronger than the other, that meant they could do whatever they wanted. The person with the higher level was also the one who had the right to make calls and speak. He believed that the strong were dominant. This was a rule that everyone lived by!
If nobody listened to your word, there was only one reason â you werenât strong enough!
âHave you had your fun with the Dragon Vein Sword? Return it to me. I need to use it tomorrow.â Ling Yun was going to take Little White to sea tomorrow. Naturally, he had to take the Dragon Vein Sword from Dugu Mo.
Frowning, Dugu Mo replied, âIâve been drawing talismans with you for the past two days. How would I have enough time to practice with the sword?â
Ling Yun chuckled. âAlright, quit pouting. After I come back, Iâll lend it to you againâŠâ
Dugu Mo reluctantly drew the Dragon Vein Sword from his waist. The sound of wind whistled as the Dragon Vein Sword was withdrawn. The body of the blade was as shiny as the autumn waters, its sword glint shimmering.
âIt can cut through gold and break jade, and it decimates metal like it were dirt. This blade is as thin as a cicadaâs wings. With every slash, a dragonâs howl resounds. Itâs truly a once-in-a-lifetime blade!â Dugu Mo swooned.
âCan you tell where this sword came from?â Ling Yun took the Dragon Vein Sword from Dugu Moâs hands. Sliding two fingers lightly across the body of the blade, the dragonâs howl resounded in his ears. He couldnât help but smile as he questioned Dugu Mo.
Dugu Mo shook his head decisively. With a stern expression, he replied, âI canât tell. But the blade has such vivid patterns of dragon veins. Itâs definitely not a mistake to call it the Dragon Vein Sword⊠If it had a scabbard, itâd be easier to tell where it came from.â
On a whim, Ling Yun returned the Dragon Vein Sword into his storage ring. Getting up, he looked for his stealth clothes and stored them into the ring as well.
âDo you want me to go with you tomorrow?â Dugu Moâs tall physique sprung up. Standing straight, he was as upright as a sharp blade. His aura was piercing, and it seemed as if he could break through to the Xiantian Realm at any time.
âNo need, Iâll be with Little White. As long as we donât meet anyone at Xiantian Realm Level Four, weâll be fineâŠâ
Ling Yun was calm and relaxed. His entire body oozed with confidence and ease as he smiled and said that.
Hearing that, Dugu Moâs jaw dropped. He said in shock, âWh⊠what? Y-you can defeat a Xiantian Realm Level Three now?â
There was no way Dugu Mo wouldnât be shocked. Ling Yunâs abilities had progressed too much. He didnât dare to think about anything anymore. Thinking about it left him horrified. He felt like an immense sense of defeat was overcoming his heart.
When the two of them were fighting the East Asians in Shennongjia, Ling Yunâs power was simply outrageous. However, at the time, their fighting power was about the same.
Ling Yun was able to kill Tokugawa Takeshi together with Dugu Mo because he had the Devilâs Blade and Dragon Vein Sword. Even though Dugu Mo was astonished by Ling Yunâs power, his heart wasnât in any turmoil.
Dugu Mo had been cultivating with everything he had up until now. However, he wasnât able to reach the Xiantian Realm yet. On the other hand, Ling Yunâs abilities were on par with a Xiantian Realm Level Three expert. He had already gotten ahead by three or four realms. This left him in complete shock!
Anxious and defeated, the Dugu Family had finally found the genius young man, Dugu Mo, whose talent came once in a hundred years. After he had acknowledged that there was no way he could catch up to Ling Yunâs talent, his pride was completely shattered. In a moment of brashness, he was about to fall into complete despair!
Ling Yun had noticed Dugu Moâs gaze. With a serious look, he used the Mystical Dragon Howl on Dugu Mo!
Dugu Moâs defeated gaze finally refocused itself. Muttering in disbelief, he exclaimed, âHow could you⊠thatâs impossible!â
Ling Yunâs suave eyes shone as he stared straight at Dugu Mo and said strictly, âDugu, you are indeed a genius in cultivation. However, Iâll leave you with one piece of advice. Donât compare yourself to me. Did you think all that dragon saliva I had was for nothing?â
Dugu Mo was a martial arts practitioner, while Ling Yun was a cultivator. If Dugu Mo were to compare their cultivation speed, he wouldnât be able to catch up even if he were flying on a plane!
âIn such a short amount of time, youâve progressed from Houtian Realm Level Eight to a breakthrough to Xiantian Realm any day now. Think about it, with such frightening cultivation speed, what is there to be dissatisfied about?â
Ling Yunâs words were all said with the Mystical Dragon Howl, which had a mystifying effect. In Dugu Moâs ears, it was as though a tigerâs thunderous roar had resounded through him. He finally regained his senses.
âHuh⊠I nearly drowned in complete despair. Ling Yun, youâre really a demon. In the future, do whatever you want. I wonât compete with you anymore. Thatâs like searching for my deathâŠâ
Ling Yunâs expression loosened up as he smiled and said, âRight now, half of you is already at the Xiantian Realm. Your heart isnât stable yet, and thatâs normal. However, doing that was definitely helpful to you. Youâre just a window away from breaking through!â
Dugu Mo could also feel that after he regained his senses, it was as though he had finally gained something. However, it was something vague and bleak. He really wanted to grasp onto it, but he couldnât. Hence, he said to Ling Yun anxiously, âI think Iâm really about to breakthrough soon. Do what you have to, donât disturb me anymoreâŠâ
Watching Dugu Mo fly off into the distance, he said telepathically to him, âI wonât be coming back tomorrow. Take good care of my house while Iâm out of Qingshui!â
âDonât worryâŠâ Dugu Mo responded telepathically to Ling Yun. Crossing his legs, he began to attempt his breakthrough.
Turning around, Ling Yun stared at the guest room Cui Lao was staying in. Frowning a little, he shook his head and left Mansion Number One.
It was the middle of the night when Ling Yun arrived at Dragon Mountain on his own. With his current movement speed, he was like an apparition. With each breath, he traversed hundreds of meters. Within two minutes, he arrived at the peak of Dragon Mountain.
The round moon hung high up in the sky. Finding a large rock to sit on top of, Ling Yun cleared his mind and heart as he used all of his power to channel the Stellar Condensation Technique.
The bright yellow moon shone from the starry night skies. It was as though a sparkling light enveloped Ling Yunâs body.
The stars scattered about the sky as countless galaxies emanated millions of star energy. Each of them connected to Ling Yunâs body. Even though it couldnât be seen by eye, Ling Yun was able to feel it clearly.
After some time, Ling Yunâs body let out a loud âbangâ as the Stellar Condensation Technique broke through to the thirteenth minor realm successfully!
In only a moment, Ling Yunâs skin, muscles, bones, tendons, and innards were cleansed by the moonlight and stars. Ling Yunâs body improved vastly!
His skin was shining and sparkling, while his muscles were tougher and stronger. His ligaments were strong as metal, while his joints were strong and elastic!
âHuh! Feels great!â Ling Yunâs body felt light as a feather. Looking up at the sky, he thought that it would be great if Earth had five moons as well. Then, his cultivation for the Stellar Condensation Technique would be at least five times faster.
âBang!â Ling Yun randomly swung his leg forward. The large rock he was sitting on a moment ago weighed hundreds of pounds, but it flew out as though it were a cannonball. It split into millions of pieces in the air before landing in the crater.
âCrackleâŠâ After a while, the sound of tiny rocks falling into deep waters traveled into Ling Yunâs ears. He smiled dryly.
With the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, he flew off Dragon Mountain in a flash. His sturdy body fell towards the ground from hundreds of meters high. Breathing in lightly, he took three shadow-steps forward!
Like Qin Dongxue, he looked like he was walking in mid-air!
From a height of over five hundred meters and a distance of four hundred meters, Ling Yun moved forward in four steps. His body was impossibly agile as he landed next to the crater!
Ling Yun stood at the edge of the crater. Using his Yin-Yang Eye, he looked into the crater again for the first time.
An inverted moon was reflected in the waters. The surface of the water glimmered, and Ling Yun noticed that the water level in the crater was at least at one hundred and fifty meters now.
âWhooshâŠâ A large splash of water appeared on the surface. The shadow of a fish about eight meters long appeared for a moment. In an instant, it dove back down into the waters.
âItâs one of those strange, carnivorous fishâŠâ Watching with focus, Ling Yun muttered dryly.
After he reached the Qi Cultivation Stage and could create Level Five Water Trap Talismans, he would explore the crater once again.
The only thing he wanted to do was take another look at the Yin-Yang Lock temple. He wanted to see if the Golden-Bodied Glass Buddha was still there.
Turning to leave, he found a place where there was Sky Yang Herb and Ground Yin Herb. Absorbing a series of Yin-Yang Qi, he began to cultivate his Yin-Yang harmony balance.
Finally, Ling Yun headed in the direction of the Dragon Saliva Herb.
Even though the Dragon Saliva Herb sounded grand, it actually looked extremely normal. Its stem was curvy like a snake, while its leaves looked like a human tongue. The plants stacked up together in a corner as if they were a bundle of weeds.
He crossed his legs and sat down once again. With all his focus, he began absorbing spiritual energy from the cluster of Dragon Saliva Herbs until his body couldnât take in any longer. Only then did he finally get up.
âHehe, everything is ready. I can go out to sea now!â
Ling Yun laughed proudly under the night skies before using his abilities to leave Dragon Mountain quickly.
