Chapter 269 - Breakthrough
Chapter 269 – Breakthrough
Yang Junshan never thought that his cultivation would break through so quickly, and even more so, with such a smooth process, he did not even feel any obstruction from the bottleneck, and everything seemed to have gone smoothly!
After Su Baozhang successfully advanced into the martial arts realm, Yang Junshan once again entered the hidden room and began his closed door cultivation. Unexpectedly, on the same night when he refined yet another sliver of baleful liquid, his entire dantian immediately boiled, and the turbid air at the foot of the hill transformed from his dantian rose. The small hill’s mountainside was gradually enveloped in a layer of faint baleful aura, causing the small hill to become even whiter and heavier.
The entire process of the breakthrough only took Yang Junshan about a day’s worth of time to complete, to the point where An Xia and the others who had rushed over to protect him upon hearing the news, thought that Yang Junshan’s attempt to break through the bottleneck had failed.
However, after successfully advancing to the third stage of martial arts realm and becoming a baleful aura cultivator, Yang Junshan spent an entire five days before he was able to stabilize his own cultivation.
Originally, the process of consolidating his cultivation was like this, even with Yang Junshan’s abundant and accumulated resources, it would take at least three to five months. However, right when his cultivation was about to stabilize, he was knocked out.
“Your father is back! He was severely injured, you … ”
An Xia’s voice suddenly stopped, she looked at Yang Junshan with her mouth wide open, and said witigh-pitched voice: You broke through to the third stage, you, you broke through the bottleneck to the second stage?
However, Yang Junshan’s expression changed. He could not bother to answer An Xia’s question, and quickly walked out of the belly of the mountain. An Xia, who was behind him, quickly followed.
With much difficulty, An Xia recovered from the shock of Yang Junshan’s cultivation advancement, and said: “Don’t worry, although his injuries are severe, they have already stabilized!”
Seeing that Yang Junshan had only nodded his head, his footsteps did not stop. An Xia continued to speak: “Three days ago, your father and the others were already severely injured when they returned from the Sunset Ridge, and at that time you had just broken through to the third stage of cultivation. There was less than a day’s time left from start to finish, and we all thought that you had already failed. You’re only nineteen this year, what’s wrong with that! ”
In An Xia’s words, there wainge of excitement and also a tinge of loneliness. No matter which cultivator had the intention to advance, when encountering a situation like Yang Junshan, they would inevitably suffer a blow.
However, Yang Junshan did not take An Xia’s words to heart, and asked witaised voice: “Did my father ever tell you who it was that harmed him?”
An Xia said: “Seems like something big happened in Sunset Ridge. A Great Divine Cultivator’s cave was born, and right now, Sunset Ridge has becomot of porridge, and many of the Martial Realm Cultivator’s various Martial Realm Cultivator s are also rushing to take advantage of the chaos to fish!”
“Sunset Ridge? The dwelling was born? ”
Yang Junshan’s feet paused for a while, the expression on his face changed, but he recovered shortly after, and asked: “My father also participated in the competition for the cave dwelling?”
An Xia shook her head: “The news of the birth of the Sunset Ridge’s cave was actually spread by the previous geniuses. Your father had rushed back to Xishan Village the day before yesterday, and at that time, he was already heavily injured.
The Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Opening Spirit School and the cultivators defending the borders of the Sirius Gate had a fight with each other again. Until yesterday and today, the only people that the Mengyu County’s side could participate in were the disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s outer sect, the three powerful cultivators, and the cultivators of the late stage of the martial arts realm of the Prominent Class.
An Xia himself had thought of going to the Sunset Ridge to try her luck, but he knew that with her cultivation level, if she went there, she would definitely be the first target of others.
Originally, if Yang Tiangang was not injured, it was not impossible for Xishan Village to go and fight under his lead. However, he had been severely injured just before his cave was born, which had also caused Xishan Village to be abnormally discouraged after receiving the news.
The two of them moved extremely quickly, and in the time it took to speak, they had already reached the courtyard house at the bottom of the mountain. The news of Yang Tiangang being severely injured did not spread, and other than the Yang family’s Martial Realm Cultivator, not even Shi Nansheng, Xu Sanniang and the rest knew of it.
At this time, in the courtyard hall, all of the Yang Family’s Martial Realm Cultivatoad arrived. When they saw Yang Junshan walking in quickly, they all heaved sighs of relief. At this point, no one had realized that after Yang Tiangang suffered from severe injuries, this young cultivator, who was not even close to his peak, had unknowingly been recognized as the backbone by the rest of the Madame Yang.
After Yang Junshan entered the main hall, he nodded to the rest of the people, and then said: “I will go and take a look at father!”
With that said, he went straight to the backyard, only then did the extremely talented Madame Yang people manage to react. Yang Tieniu frowned, and said hesitantly: “Did I sense wrongly, the aura around Xiaoshan just now was very strange, did he suffer from some injuries after failing to break through his cultivation bottleneck a few days ago?”
Lin Chengsi also nodded his head: “A cultivator’s injuries, especially those caused by failure in breaking through the bottleneck, are most likely to cause the Qi of a cultivator to fluctuate. Just now, his Qi was comparable to the 3rd stage of the Evil Qi Cultivator, and it seems that his injuries are not light.
“Alright, alright,” An Xia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Don’t be so suspicious anymore. Little Shan has successfully broken through to the third layer, and is now a baleful cultivator!”
“What? This is impossible …”
Entering Yang Tiangang’s room, Yang Tiangang who was currently recuperating with his eyes closed opened them and looked at his son. His eyes were filled with surprise, joy and gratification;
“The people who came all the way down from the west mountain were probably surprised to see you, right?”
Seeing that, although Yang Tiangang’s face was pale, but his spirit was still in good condition, Yang Junshan knew that he had already controlled his injuries, thus he calmed down and laughed: “This breakthrough in cultivation is truly outside of my expectations, I never thought that the breakthrough would actually be so smooth!”
Yang Tiangang nodded. “There is a great opportunity between life and death, and after becoming a Frontier Cultivator, you have accumulated enough experience to advance your cultivation.
Yang Junshan composed himself and asked: “Father, who did you get injured this time?”
“There’s nothing wrong with my injuries. I’ll be able to fully recover in around two months.”
Yang Tiangang first said: “Do you remember when the field s went to the other market, that group of merchants from the Tan Xi Sect s?”
Yang Junshan immediately frowned, and said softly: “It’s her?”
Yang Tiangang continued: “The clothes and hair of the person who injured me were extremely similar to those cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect, but that old man has the fifth stage of martial arts realm, you must not provoke him!”
Not knowing why, but after hearing that it was an old man who had injured his father, Yang Junshan could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded: “This child will naturally weigh the pros and cons, and will not act recklessly, but hearing Seventh Uncle say that Sunset Ridge had left the Great Divine Cultivator’s cave, is Father’s injury related to the birth of his cave?”
Yang Tiangang shook his head: “I do not know, at that time I did not personally see it, but I was intercepted midway and returned seriously injured. On the second day, I returned to Xishan Village and passed on the news of the cave’s birth, that three sects’ border guards had attacked, but I believe that the incident that day was indeed related.”
After Yang Tiangang finished, he noticed that Yang Junshan’s expression was strange, and said: “Are you thinking of going to take a look as well?”
Yang Junshan laughed, then said: “If you don’t go, then I won’t be willing to take a look, but your son will save himself the trouble, and won’t easily get involved.”
Yang Tiangang glanced at it, and then muttered: “Your cultivation has not stabilized yet, five days is too short!”
Yang Junshan laughed: “I will go to Sha Tian Village first and find the place where my team is stationed. I wonder if I also participated in the fight for the cave dwelling.
Yang Tiangang thought about it, and in the end, nodded his head, but he did not know when a golden flute suddenly appeared in his hands.
At that time, the Tan Xi Sect cultivator seemed to be chasing after it, and upon seeing father snatching the flute, he started to attack. If father’s predictions were correct, the flute should have been a treasure that appeared from the cave after the ground was moved, but father is unable to see through the flute’s strength, so it is definitely a treasure that is out of the ordinary, since you want to go to the Sunset Ridge to take a look, but please be careful, don’t let others see it.
Receiving the flute from Yang Tiangang’s hands, Yang Junshan carefully examined the material of this flute. Other than the fact that he could tell that the spirit materials used to make this flute were of extremely high quality, he did not know the use of this flute for a moment.
Since he could not figure it out for a while, Yang Junshan kept the flute and asked casually: “Father, did you find any suitable spirit vein in Sunset Ridge?”
Yang Tiangang was startled for a bit, and then said: “This matter is really not easy to explain, but you should go ask Old Lin for more details. There seems to be something strange there, Old Lin had spent more than a month’s worth of effort there, and after investigating many places, he did not discover a single vein, although he seemed to have discovered something on that day, but he did not seem to be too confident in his own abilities.”
