In the cultivation secret chamber.
Yang Feilong watched Murong Wugong attempting to break through to the Integration realm, merging his domain, void, primordial spirit, and physical body into a perfect unity.
This was a relatively long process.
Of course, if the progress was smooth from the beginning, the probability of success would be quite high. However, Murong Wugong encountered problems soon after he began his fusion, unable to perfectly meld the elements.
This caused Yang Feilong to frown slightly.
If this were the case, success would be much more difficult going forward.
If the fusion was not deep and failed, the injuries would not be severe. Many cultivators at the Void Refining realm who failed to break through to the Integration realm survived because their fusion was not deep enough. Those who died were those who had fused too deeply; the backlash from failure would be too great!
In fact, when attempting to break through to the Integration realm, many people would try numerous simulations. However, simulations were ultimately just simulations and were different from practical application.
Murong Wugong was currently facing such a situation. Initially, he believed he had a high chance of succeeding in breaking through to the Integration realm. Of course, no matter how high the chance, he did not believe he could succeed with absolute certainty. Therefore, to be prepared for any eventuality, having an Integration realm cultivator act as his guardian was a rational choice. This was because someone with experience in breakthroughs could spot problems in his fusion process and interrupt him in time. This was also the reason why descendants of families with Integration realm elders would successively achieve Integration realm existence. With such a presence to guard him, any problems could be stopped promptly, and the backlash would not be too great. Once the foundation was repaired, he could attempt the breakthrough again. However, he did not have any close Integration realm acquaintances, which had prevented him from even trying before.
Now, with Yang Feilong as his guardian, even though he was not an Integration realm cultivator, he could still help treat any injuries, which was even better than a superficial attempt at the Integration realm.
This was because an Integration realm cultivator might misjudge, for example, if you appeared to be on the path to success, but even a slight deviation in fusion could lead to complete failure and backlash. However, with a divine physician present, even if you failed, they could still save you.
A divine physician could also be called a firefighter!
*Phew, phew…*
Time ticked by. Although Murong Wugong's initial fusion was not entirely smooth, as time passed, his fusion became increasingly fluid.
Yang Feilong nodded subtly. This Murong Wugong indeed had some skills; he wasn't just blindly trying because he had an extra layer of insurance.
One day, two days…
After overcoming the initial fusion challenges, the subsequent stages became smoother and smoother.
Suddenly, Murong Wugong's expression changed drastically.
Yang Feilong, observing from the side, naturally paid close attention to Murong Wugong's progress. At this moment, he could see Murong Wugong was in trouble. His body seemed unable to withstand the force of the fusion. In such a situation, if a crack appeared, it would lead to a complete collapse from that point onward.
It was too late to stop now, as Murong Wugong's fusion was already more than halfway complete.
In such a predicament, even a peak Integration realm cultivator would be powerless. Forcibly stopping would only allow for a slim chance of survival, but the probability of him becoming a cripple was extremely high!
Unless someone could heal him in a short amount of time.
Just like the Li family's old ancestor before, he was in a similar situation, reaching halfway but failing at the last moment, suffering immense backlash and nearly dying.
Yang Feilong could have waited for the backlash to subside before intervening, and he could have saved him, especially with his experience treating the Li family's old ancestor. However, at this moment, Yang Feilong wanted to try and see if he could mend Murong Wugong’s situation.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Golden needles were inserted by Yang Feilong into Murong Wugong's acupoints.
Simultaneously, Yang Feilong's voice rang out, "Continue fusing!"
Murong Wugong naturally knew his body couldn't withstand the fusion force and was panicking. Although he had asked Yang Feilong to be his guardian, it was only a plan for the worst-case scenario, so Yang Feilong could treat him promptly if the breakthrough failed, minimizing sequelae and allowing him to attempt the breakthrough again in a relatively short time.
However, he never expected Yang Feilong to intervene at this very moment.
As the golden needles pierced his body, he was acutely aware of them. The power entering his body immediately relieved his collapsing body.
"Fortunately, I had Feilong as my guardian!" Murong Wugong was filled with gratitude at this moment. "He is so much better than an Integration realm cultivator acting as a guardian!"
But he also knew it wasn't the time for gratitude. Yang Feilong's golden needles protected his heart and veins, and even absorbed the mysterious power of heaven and earth, continuously nourishing his body, giving him a sense of exhilaration.
*Phew, phew…*
The stalled Integration path immediately resumed. Some minor issues arose later, but Yang Feilong intervened again.
Finally, as Murong Wugong's fusion reached its conclusion.
*Boom!*
A powerful aura erupted.
Murong Wugong successfully broke through to the Integration realm!
Seeing Murong Wugong's successful breakthrough, Yang Feilong also made a motion with his hand, and the golden needles were swept up and disappeared.
As Murong Wugong successfully broke through to the Integration realm, the free-roaming extraordinary power in heaven and earth began to enter his body, repairing his internal injuries, and his aura steadily climbed.
Outside the secret chamber.
Whether it was the cultivators of the Murong family from Yong'an City, led by Murong Jingyue, or the main family members such as Murong Jingyue's father, they were all waiting quietly outside the secret chamber.
Although Yang Feilong had experience treating Void Refining realm cultivators who failed to break through to the Integration realm, they still hoped Murong Wugong could successfully break through to the Integration realm. Having Yang Feilong as a guardian was merely an extra layer of insurance for the Murong ancestor's safety.
When they saw the powerful aura rising from within, those outside rejoiced.
"He succeeded in breaking through to the Integration realm?"
"It looks like it. While the Void Refining realm is powerful, it wouldn't emanate such a potent aura. This secret chamber is covered by formations, so the aura of breakthrough that we can perceive should undoubtedly be that of the Integration realm!"
After an unknown amount of time, the door opened.
The Murong ancestor and Yang Feilong emerged together. Yang Feilong's expression was calm, while the Murong ancestor was visibly excited.
"Father, how was it?" Murong Gu Yun, Murong Jingyue's father, asked repeatedly.
"He broke through to the Integration realm!" the Murong ancestor said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Grandfather!" Murong Jingyue also congratulated him with a smile.
Others also spoke out, filled with excitement.
The Murong ancestor said with deep emotion, "If it weren't for Feilong guarding me, let alone successfully breaking through to the Integration realm, you might have been preparing my funeral!"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the members of the Murong family were stunned.
He could actually help a Void Refining realm cultivator successfully break through to the Integration realm?
Following that, the Murong ancestor recounted the details to them, and only then did everyone understand why the ancestor had spoken in such a manner.
Yang Feilong was truly a great benefactor to their Murong family!
Murong Jingyue was also filled with emotion. Yang Feilong had helped him break through to the Nascent Soul realm previously, and now he had helped his grandfather break through to the Integration realm. The kindness he had shown their Murong family was immeasurable!
Murong Qiuyue and Murong Qingxue exchanged glances, both happy and proud. This was their man.
