32 -031: Spanning Three Major Realms

Gu Chen, how could he be spitting blood?

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

“It must be that his cultivation increased too suddenly, and his body couldn’t bear it,” the elder martial artist spoke up.

“Yes, it must be so!” As soon as these words were out, they instantly elicited a chorus of agreement.

“Gu Chen is really impressive,” a voice of amazement burst forth from the crowd.

Just how much must one’s cultivation surge to cause the body to be overwhelmed?

Gu Chuqiu felt his heart skip a beat, he came beside Gu Chen and supported him with one hand, circulating his True Qi to probe into Gu Chen’s body, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

“How…

how is this possible!” Gu Chuqiu’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

His True Qi had circulated throughout Gu Chen’s body only to be dumbfounded.

The True Qi in Gu Chen’s meridians had barely changed at all compared to before entering the Blood Cleansing Pool; his cultivation was still at the Postnatal Realm Sixth Stage Middle Stage.

And looking at Gu Chen’s condition, it was clear that he had fainted due to the agitation.

“Look, Family Head Gu is shocked by Gu Chen’s cultivation,” the onlookers had been paying attention to Gu Chuqiu all this time, thinking that his change in expression was due to shock.

Gu Chuqiu staggered, almost swearing out loud.

Shocked?

I’m freaking scared, alright!

“Tsk tsk, could it be that Gu Chen has broken through to the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer?” someone guessed.

Surrounded by the discussions of the crowd, Gu Chuqiu’s mouth twitched, then he turned his gaze towards the other three younger members of the Gu family.

“What exactly is going on?” Gu Chuqiu asked in a low voice.

The three younger members of the Gu family, including Gu Yang, all looked like they wanted to cry but had no tears.

Forget about Gu Chen; even they had not absorbed much of the Washing Vein Power.

Seeing their silence, a bad premonition surged in Gu Chuqiu’s heart.

He stepped forward, probed into the bodies of the three juniors with his True Qi.

After inspecting all three, Gu Chuqiu’s complexion became terrifyingly somber, and he trembled with rage.

Apart from Gu Yang who had broken through two minor levels, the cultivation of the other two, just like Gu Chen, had hardly improved.

“Family Head Gu, quickly tell us, did Gu Chen break through to the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer?” Curious, the surrounding crowd asked.

They were here almost solely for Gu Chen.

Family Head Gu stood stiffly; the sycophantic sounds that would have normally pleased him now grated on his ears.

Coupled with the huge disparity between expectations and reality, he felt so frustrated that he was about to spit blood.

“Let’s go!”

Family Head Gu left the Blood Cleansing Pool with a cold face, leaving behind the Gu family martial artists with bewildered expressions, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would indeed vomit blood from anger.

The Gu family martial artists all looked at each other with furrowed brows but still followed behind and left.

“What’s going on?” The crowd started whispering among themselves in confusion.

Only the younger members of the Zhang Family and Su Hao knew the inside story.

Su Meng was about to ask when the water of the Blood Cleansing Pool began to ripple, and a figure burst out of the water, landing on the ground.

That was a youth of about fifteen years old, clad in coarse cloth and hemp, but he had an exceptional edge about him that seemed to pierce through the sky, impossible to ignore.

The person was none other than Xiao Ye.

After the cleansing of the Blood Cleansing Pool, even without circulating his True Qi, Xiao Ye still exuded a sharp aura.

“Mr.

Xiao,” Ying’er greeted him with a smile.

“Lady Su, Su Family Master,” Xiao Ye greeted them with a slight smile.

Su Meng nodded.

He suppressed his curiosity and said, “Now that we’re all out, let’s head back.”

He didn’t inquire about Xiao Ye’s cultivation, thinking that managing to form one or two Qi Vortexes was impressive enough, and Xiao Ye’s cultivation couldn’t have made much progress.

After the three great families left one after another, the martial artists who had come to watch lost interest and, following a brief discussion, also left.

…

At the Ancient Mansion.

As soon as he returned, Gu Chuqiu called the three youngsters of the Gu family over.

“Speak, what exactly happened?” Gu Chuqiu asked with a grim face, so dark that it seemed water might drip from it.

“Dad, it’s all because of that kid Xiao Ye!” Gu Yang said through gritted teeth.

“What does he have to do with this?” Gu Chuqiu frowned.

Although Xiao Ye’s talent was decent, the time he acquired the Nayuan Skill was too short to be a hindrance to people like Gu Chen.

“That kid is a freak; he actually formed twenty-five Qi Vortexes.

It’s because of him that we didn’t absorb any of the Washing Vein Power,” said Gu Yang with a face that looked like he was mourning.

What!

Gu Chuqiu abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint, a powerful aura erupting and shattering the chair behind him.

The oppressive aura made it difficult for the three Gu family youngsters to breathe, causing them to stagger backward several steps before they could stabilize themselves.

After hearing Gu Yang’s account, a cold light surged in Gu Chuqiu’s eyes.

“To cultivate the Nayuan Skill to such a degree in just three short days, this kid’s talent is too terrifying.

But since he has provoked my Gu family, no matter how outstanding the genius, he has to die!”

In the next moment, Gu Chuqiu made his decision.

“Someone come, thoroughly investigate the relationship between Xiao Ye and the Su Family for me,” Gu Chuqiu ordered coldly.

Now that he decided to deal with Xiao Ye, he naturally wanted to clear everything up.

“Yes, Family Head!” A martial artist walked in from outside, bowed to Gu Chuqiu, and then went downstairs.

The Gu Family, being the leading family among the three great families of Wutan City, possessed astonishing energy.

Before long, news started to trickle back.

“Hmph, I knew it.

That kid couldn’t possibly be Su Meng’s son-in-law; the so-called fiancé was just an excuse to fob me off,” Gu Chuqiu sneered coldly.

“Now that he has no ties to the Su Family, that makes things easier.” A killing intent rose from Gu Chuqiu’s body.

If Xiao Ye really were Su Meng’s son-in-law, then targeting Xiao Ye would also mean confronting the whole Su Family, which would cost the Gu Family heavily to accomplish.

But Xiao Ye was not, so naturally, he no longer needed to worry about this.

“Keep a close watch on this kid.

The moment he leaves Wutan City, inform me immediately,” Gu Chuqiu ordered coldly.

Since Xiao Ye had nothing to do with the Su Family, there was no need for him to rush to visit the Su Family.

It was the duty of a family head like him to eliminate Xiao Ye at the smallest cost.

“Yes!” Immediately, someone hurried down to make arrangements.

At the same time, an upheaval was taking place within both the Zhang and Su Families.

Only from their younger generation did they learn that the biggest winner of the Blood Cleansing Pool affair was a young man named Xiao Ye.

“Twenty-five Qi Vortices!”

Su Meng’s face was filled with shock; he still hadn’t quite come to grips with it.

“Ying’er, has Brother Xiao Ye come out yet?” Su Meng asked.

With thirteen Qi Vortices, Su Hao’s cultivation had skyrocketed by two whole realms.

What about Xiao Ye, who had condensed twenty-five Qi Vortices?

A sense of anticipation arose in Su Meng’s heart.

“No, Mr.

Xiao went into seclusion as soon as he returned,” Su Ying replied gently, shaking her head, a trace of disappointment surfacing on her delicate face.

Su Meng felt somewhat regretful.

A genius like Xiao Ye would definitely receive key cultivation from the Chongyang Sect in the future, with boundless prospects.

How wonderful it would be if Su Ying could pull him into the Su Family’s fold.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ye had been in seclusion all this time, making it impossible for Su Meng to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

Inside the guest room of the Su Family.

“How strong!” Xiao Ye’s face was filled with excitement, the True Qi within his body surged through his twelve meridians like a howling Jiao Long dragon, his powerful aura climbing steadily, sweeping out from his body and rattling the furniture in the room.

“Mid Eighth Level of the Postnatal Realm!”

Feeling the immense power within his body, Xiao Ye was so excited that he wanted to look up and roar.

Under the powerful suction of the twenty-five Qi Vortices, sixty percent of the Blood Cleansing Pool’s Washing Vein Power was absorbed by him alone, causing his cultivation to surge, leaping across three major realms, and reaching the Mid Eighth Level of the Postnatal Realm.

It could be said that if he wasn’t practicing the Twelve Meridian Postnatal Technique, his increase in cultivation would be even more terrifying – perhaps he could have directly stepped into the Ninth Layer of the Postnatal Realm.

Compared to before, his strength had increased by more than tenfold, an advancement that could be described as earthshatteringly incredible.

You see, since the birth of the Blood Cleansing Pool, no one has ever been able to absorb so much Washing Vein Power.

“The Blood Cleansing Pool is truly miraculous!” Xiao Ye clenched his fists, feeling that with a casual punch, he could now shatter the air.

Even a martial artist of the Ninth Layer of the Postnatal Realm, he would dare to confront.

Soon, Xiao Ye calmed down.

“I’ve increased my cultivation too dramatically; I must stabilize my True Qi first,” Xiao Ye said to himself.

Although still a teenager, his maturity was profound, understanding the principle that tall buildings rise from the ground.

If the foundation wasn’t solid, it would be difficult to make further breakthroughs later on.

Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed with fervor as he glanced at the Flame Saber.

With his current cultivation, he could fully activate the Martial Arts True Intent within the saber for an extended period, but he resisted the temptation and sunk his consciousness into the Time Tower.

“Begin stabilizing my cultivation,” Xiao Ye took a deep breath and began to practice the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Roar!

The Fierce Tiger Fist wielded by Xiao Ye carried tremendous power, flowing endlessly like mercury spilling on the ground; the motions of Fierce Tiger Fist came to him as naturally as breathing.

Xiao Ye practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist thousands of times and then switched to practicing the Great Collapse Palm.

After expending all his True Qi, Xiao Ye would restore it using the Heavenly Net Technique and repeat the process again and again.

As Xiao Ye cultivated frantically in this manner, the True Qi inside him gradually became condensed, no longer the slightest bit frivolous.

As his consciousness willed it, the True Qi roared and surged without any delay.

“It’s about time.” Xiao Ye stopped.

Whilst only three days had passed in the outside world, Xiao Ye had spent a whole month tempering in the Time Tower.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Time Tower.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely not take out a month’s time to stabilize their cultivation.

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye’s consciousness exited the Time Tower and returned to his room.

“Martial Arts True Intent!” Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed as he picked up the Flame Saber.

“With my cultivation elevated a bit further, combined with the newly comprehended Martial Arts True Intent, I should be strong enough to contend with the Blood Wolf,” Xiao Ye thought of the Blood Wolf with a cold glint in his eyes.

He couldn’t forget the scene where the Blood Wolf led his men, slaughtering countless villagers with a sweep of his hand.

The Blood Wolf was drenched in the blood of too many villagers.

These debts, they were all waiting for him to claim back.

“The day I return will be the day of the Blood Wolf Gang’s downfall!” Xiao Ye said coldly.

Afterward, without any more hesitation, Xiao Ye circulated his True Qi, channeling it into the Flame Saber.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s vision blurred, and he once again stepped into the world dense with saber lights, where all in sight were howling blade winds.
