After spending the afternoon in Xiao Jingwen's attic, Yang Feilong almost couldn't resist devouring her several times. Recalling his master's words from yesterday, he forcefully restrained himself. He couldn't let his momentary desires disrupt Xiao Jingwen's future cultivation, could he? The main issue was that he couldn't be with her every day, and with limited time spent together, the effects of dual cultivation were only significant the first time. At other times, the results were even slower than her own cultivation.
After dinner, he spent a few more hours with Xiao Jingwen. By eight or nine in the evening, he returned to his own residence next door. Of course, after Xiao Jingwen escorted him back, there was no avoiding some intimate entanglement. It was already past midnight by the time he finally managed to send Xiao Jingwen away.
It was at this time that Yang Feilong finally had the chance to refine the spiritual artifact jade pendant. "Spiritual artifact jade pendant, the mystery of my origins," Yang Feilong said with a hopeful glint in his eyes. Another reason he didn't press for Xiao Jingwen's body today was his constant yearning to know the truth about his own background. His adoptive parents were very kind to him, but he still longed to know who his biological parents were!
Under the lamplight.
Yang Feilong continuously refined the jade pendant. In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
Hum!
With a hum, the spiritual artifact jade pendant was finally refined by him.
Whoosh!
The next moment, an image appeared before his eyes. It was a woman who looked about twenty years old. Although very young, she was beautiful. Yang Feilong looked at her and immediately recognized her as his mother, a mother he had never seen before, her face seemingly bathed in maternal radiance. This brought tears to Yang Feilong's eyes.
"Baby, I am your mother. Am I very young? Alas, this is an inscribed image I left shortly after giving birth to you. I don't know if you will see this twenty or thirty years later, as it requires high cultivation to refine."
"My greatest regret is not being able to be by your side and watch you grow."
"Baby, I hope you don't blame me. I didn't want this, but I didn't want them to harm you!"
"Baby, I truly wish I could hold you one more time, to see you marry and have children. In my heart, as long as you can be safe and happy, even being an ordinary person your whole life would be truly wonderful. Unfortunately, the fact that you can refine this jade pendant means you have ultimately embarked on the path of cultivation."
"Since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, I must warn you, never go to the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and it is an incredibly cruel world. Many people will do anything in pursuit of longevity; sometimes, kinship is less important than profit."
"Having said so much, I forgot to tell you my name... My surname is Li, my given name is Xiuzhu, Li Xiuzhu. Baby, you must remember this name. Do not mention it to outsiders, for doing so might invite fatal danger. I originally didn't want to tell you, but I thought it would be too sad for my beloved son not even to know his mother's name. So, after much consideration, I have decided to tell you."
"Oh, and one more thing, don't hate your father. He didn't know I was pregnant with you. Perhaps your adoptive parents have already told you this. Also, he is a cultivator, but merely a disciple of a secular family. His family doesn't even have a single existence at the Innate Realm, too weak. I didn't want to implicate him, otherwise, once the news got out, not only he, but his entire family would be annihilated. Therefore, I cruelly left him. It pains me deeply, but I had no choice."
"Perhaps he has remarried. Of course, knowing him, he might have remained single all along, because I hurt him too badly back then."
"However, if he knew about you, he would definitely dote on you. Alas, I considered sending you to him, but I was afraid that he might act impulsively if he knew the full story, as he has always been impulsive and loved me too much!"
"Baby, your father is... his name is... If you encounter difficulties, go find him. He is your biological father and will help you. I believe in his character, but I worry that if he finds out, he might impulsively come looking for me. At that time, you must persuade him! Otherwise, he will die, his clansmen will die, and even you, my child, my darling, might be implicated!"
Seeing this, Yang Feilong was stunned. No, how could this be? He, how could he be his father?
The next moment, Yang Feilong calmed his mind and continued watching.
"Child, I have tested your physique. You have the Yin-Yang body. I have studied many ancient martial cultivation methods and finally created a method for cultivating inner energy called the Yin-Yang Myriad Laws, which I will pass on to you shortly."
Studied many ancient martial cultivation methods? Created ancient martial arts techniques?
Yang Feilong gained a new understanding of his birth mother's capabilities. Her martial arts attainments were truly high and formidable! Based on his estimation, his mother was probably already at the Innate Realm when she was only around twenty, otherwise, could she have created a cultivation method?
"You might be wondering why I didn't pass this on to you earlier. It's because I don't know if the Yin-Yang Myriad Laws have any flaws, as I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I was afraid that cultivating it too early might harm you. Now that you can refine the spiritual artifact jade pendant, it indicates your cultivation is not low. At this point, if you feel uncomfortable with this cultivation method, you can discard it. If you feel it is good, you can replace your previous cultivation method."
Yang Feilong pursed his lips. His mother was very thoughtful. If he were an ordinary person, he would never be able to unlock the secret of this jade pendant. If he could unlock it, it would mean he might have developed some ability. Of course, she might not have anticipated that his Yin-Yang body was incomplete. This was normal, as he had only been frail and prone to illness initially, and it worsened with each outbreak of his body's tribulation. Of course, this might also be related to his increasing age.
"Baby, although I desperately want to see you grow up, I must still warn you: if you do not break through to the Core Formation Realm, do not come to the spiritual realm. Absolutely do not come to the spiritual realm!"
"Baby, mother loves you, always loves you!"
"Core Formation Realm?" Yang Feilong murmured. He knew that whether it was the path of Qi cultivation or ancient martial arts, there was a Core Formation Realm. It's just that due to the different cultivation methods, the resulting core might be different, and the names might also vary. The path of Qi cultivation called it the Golden Core Realm, and ancient martial arts called it the Condensed Core Realm. As for whether the supernatural powers of other countries have a Core Formation Realm, or a similar realm called the Esoteric Core Realm? Yang Feilong didn't know, but he guessed it would be roughly the same.
Whether it's Golden Core, Condensed Core, or Esoteric Core, they all represent the same level of power. However, he was still a long way from even the Foundation Establishment stage of Qi cultivation or the Super Tier abilities of supernatural powers. The Core Formation Realm was hundreds of thousands of miles away, so thinking about it was meaningless.
"Don't come to the spiritual realm before the Condensed Core Realm. Does this mean I can go to another realm once I reach the Condensed Core Realm? Mother, since your son knows your situation, how can I wait until the Core Formation Realm to go?" Yang Feilong sighed faintly.
The next moment, Yang Feilong closed his eyes, as the transmission of his mother's cultivation method was coming—it was the Yin-Yang Myriad Laws she had created.
