Yang Feilong stood still for a long time after his mother's image disappeared, as if he had turned into a stone statue.
After a long while, Yang Feilong murmured, "Mother, I will come to find you, soon. Anyone who prevents us from meeting, I will kill them!"
He could guess that his mother, Li Xiuzhu's, family must be a very powerful one in the Spirit Realm. She must have been imprisoned after being captured. After all, being at the Xiantian realm at the age of around twenty was a terrifying talent.
Even though she cultivated and grew up in the Spirit Realm, she would absolutely be among the top prodigies in the mortal world.
Next, Yang Feilong sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate the [Yin Yang Wan Fa Jue]. This was a cultivation method different from the Qi Refining technique, [Yin Yang Shen Gong], that his master had taught him.
The former was a method for cultivating internal energy, while the latter was a method for cultivating true energy.
Previously, Yang Feilong had tried to cultivate countless ancient martial arts techniques, but none had been successful.
He had not expected to succeed in cultivating ancient martial arts techniques anymore, but now he wanted to try, because this was, after all, a gift left to him by his mother. Even if the Yin Yang Wan Fa Jue could not be cultivated successfully, he still had to try.
Hoo hoo~~~
Yang Feilong's calm state of mind was tinged with a hint of hope. The calmness came from too many failures, while the hope stemmed from the fact that the Yin Yang Wan Fa Jue, passed down from his mother, was indeed extraordinary. It was likely highly compatible with his Yin Yang physique. In just a quarter of an hour, he had successfully entered the Xu Wu realm!
He had become an ancient martial arts practitioner of the Xu Wu realm!
"Mother, you are truly amazing!" Even though Yang Feilong had a premonition that he might succeed, he was still shocked when he actually succeeded.
This was a technique created by his mother! What amazed Yang Feilong even more was the sheer amount of internal energy in the Xu Wu realm. Yang Feilong had progressed step by step from the first level of Qi Refining. He felt that the internal energy at the early stage of the Xu Wu realm was no less than the true energy at the early stage of the first level of Qi Refining!
What did this mean? It meant that he could fight across a whole major realm in his ancient martial arts path!
"If I could also fuse my internal energy with true energy and my water and fire elemental abilities, wouldn't I be..." The thought made Yang Feilong's eyes shine with boundless anticipation.
Because if that were the case, his combat power would soar again. If all three levels were equal, how many major realms could he fight across? Could it be three?
He could already fight across two whole major realms. Even if he couldn't fight across three major realms, it wouldn't be too far off!
With this thought, Yang Feilong did not rush to fuse his internal energy. The gap between internal energy and true energy, as well as water and fire elemental abilities, was too vast!
Hoo hoo~~~
Yang Feilong once again immersed himself in cultivation.
Before dawn, Yang Feilong was awakened. He walked out of his room and looked towards a certain place – the residence of the Xiao family's ancestor. A terrifyingly powerful aura shot up into the sky, but it was obscured and enveloped by the Xiao family's grand formation.
"Old Master Xiao has broken through to Xiantian." Yang Feilong smiled lightly. He was not surprised by Old Master Xiao's breakthrough. After treating him yesterday, he had felt that although the old man was old, his condition was still very good in all aspects. It was only the hidden ailments that had repeatedly caused him to fail his breakthroughs!
With the obstruction of the hidden ailments removed, his breakthrough was a natural progression.
Yang Feilong returned to continue cultivating. After a whole night of diligent practice, his ancient martial arts path had now reached the early stage of the Ling Wu realm.
If people knew that Yang Feilong had gone from zero to the early stage of the Ling Wu realm in his ancient martial arts path overnight, they would be utterly shocked!
Not long after he entered the state of cultivation, Xiao Jingwen, with an excited look on her face, came knocking.
This also interrupted his thoughts of continuing to cultivate. He glanced at the sky in the east, which was just beginning to brighten. In winter, the sky brightened early, meaning it was not too late. Yang Feilong also gave up the idea of continuing to cultivate. After all, even if he cultivated further, at most he would only raise his ancient martial arts cultivation from the early stage of the Ling Wu realm to the middle stage of the Ling Wu realm!
The rapid progress in the early stages was mainly due to his excellent foundation, and the Yin Yang Wan Fa Jue was extremely compatible with his physique. Moreover, his Yin Yang physique was more than half restored. His cultivation speed was naturally much faster than before. Therefore, although his sudden increase in strength overnight seemed exaggerated, it was actually not worth being surprised about!
Yang Feilong's state of mind was naturally very calm.
Yang Feilong got out of bed, pushed open the door, and Xiao Jingwen came up to him, extremely excited. "My great-grandfather has broken through!"
"En, I know." Yang Feilong smiled and said.
"You know, and you're not happy? After all, this is all thanks to you!" Xiao Jingwen hugged Yang Feilong's waist and giggled.
"I am happy, of course I am happy. My wife now has a Xiantian realm expert to rely on." Yang Feilong said with a playful smile, playing along.
"But I always feel like you have something on your mind." Xiao Jingwen tilted her head and studied Yang Feilong.
"Do I have something on my mind? I was just thinking about what kind of trouble I might encounter when I go to the Yang family today." Yang Feilong chuckled.
"Don't worry, my great-grandfather has broken through to the Xiantian realm. The Yang family wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous anymore!" Xiao Jingwen snorted and said.
"Aren't you afraid that your great-grandfather, having broken through to the Xiantian realm, will change his mind and not marry you off to me?" Yang Feilong teased with a smile.
"Ah? You don't mean it, do you?" Xiao Jingwen's eyes widened.
"Probably not!" Yang Feilong shrugged, offering no definite opinion.
If he was a wise man, he naturally wouldn't change his mind. But what if he was blinded by his breakthrough to the Xiantian realm and changed his mind, even becoming ungrateful? What could Yang Feilong do then?
Of course, he thought the latter possibility was less likely!
After all, a family that had been passed down for so many years wouldn't have survived to this day if its decisions were so capricious. However, nothing was certain, because people could change!
Before, he wouldn't have thought so much about it, but last night's reception of his mother's image had a significant impact. Furthermore, the Xiao family's willingness to marry off Xiao Jingwen to protect the family was a precedent!
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Xiao Jingwen, who had been very happy, couldn't help but stop smiling at the thought that her great-grandfather might change his mind.
Seeing Jingwen's anxious and worried look, Yang Feilong apologized, "I shouldn't have said that. Perhaps we're just worrying unnecessarily."
"That's not worrying unnecessarily. I feel like it's actually possible. After all, the Yang family is powerful, and they dared to arrange my marriage. Even when they rejected the Yang family's proposal some time ago, they said they would find a live-in son-in-law. Although it was just a rumor, I believe there's no smoke without fire." Xiao Jingwen bit her lip, her face looking rather grim. "The clan must have discussed this matter."
As it turned out, what Xiao Jingwen said was indeed true. At that time, finding a live-in son-in-law was indeed deliberately leaked, though only discussed among some high-ranking members. The purpose was merely to test Xiao Jingwen's reaction. If she reacted strongly, they would reconsider; if not, they would proceed with the plan.
Yang Feilong smiled and said, "But at that time, they didn't know my potential and strength! Now, it's certainly different from then."
"That's true." Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen inexplicably felt a sense of relief and prayed silently that this matter would not change again.
