Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  Bing Xin Jue and Xuan Yuan Jue's crazy rotation, under such pressure, completely stimulated Yang Lei's potential. Before, the dragon blood still had some unabsorbed parts, now it was thoroughly stimulated.

  Yang Lei let out a loud roar, and the pressure was suddenly reduced by a lot, his footsteps also became much lighter.

  One step, two steps, three steps, and soon entered a stable state.

  The real Eagle Eye also opened at the same time.

  As expected, there is still an illusion here. As soon as the real Eagle Eye is activated, the scene in front of me changes completely. The winding passage has become a large hall-like cave, with a spring eye in the center, and a white bead floating above the spring eye.

  "Lingquan, it's actually Lingquan, no wonder there is such a strong spiritual energy." Yang Lei was shocked by the scene in front of him, the spiritual energy emanating from the spring was almost palpable, showing just how dense this spiritual energy was.

  Appraisal technique.

  "Ding, appraisal failed, experience +10,000, internal energy +100, points +100, proficiency increased."

  Failed, it actually failed, which made Yang Lei extremely surprised. It seems that this white bead is not a simple thing either. His own appraisal technique has already reached an advanced level, and the advanced appraisal technique can't even appraise this bead, it's clear that this bead is extraordinary.

  If at first you don't succeed, try again.

  Appraisal technique.

  Identification failed, identification failed again.

  Yang Lei is not a person who gives up easily, one failure leads to two, and two failures lead to three.

  After experiencing many failures, the final appraisal was finally successful.

  "Ding, congratulations player, identification successful! Experience +1,000,000, points +10,000, Qi Gong value +10,000. Proficiency increased."

  Dream-Crushing Pearl

  Unsealed, it can create illusions for people, extremely powerful, the heart of the illusion array in the empty cave.

  It's actually an unsealed item, although it can only produce illusions, its power is extremely great, and it's still the illusory array of Kongdong Cave. This thing is obviously not simple, and this is still an unsealed item, it's already so powerful, if it were to be truly unsealed, how strong would it be?

  It will definitely reach an extremely terrifying level, this thing must be obtained, it must be obtained.

  Although disillusioned with illusions, wanting to obtain this disillusionment pearl is not an easy thing, every step forward must bear enormous pressure.

  It's not just the pressure from the spiritual and soul, but also this thick and heavy spirit energy, like a substantial spirit energy, constantly pouring into his body, making it difficult for Yang Lei to bear. Therefore, Yang Lei can only frantically operate the Xuan Yuan Secret Art, continuously absorbing the vast amount of spirit energy.

  Ten steps, just ten steps apart, and I can reach out and touch that elusive pearl.

  Yang Lei gritted his teeth, only ten steps away, he couldn't give up now. As the saying goes, "those who travel a hundred miles are half done at ninety", that's exactly what it is now, having walked ninety miles already, just the last ten miles left, holding on would be true victory.

  Take one step forward, this step is very difficult, but still take it out, and there are nine steps left.

  After this step, Yang Lei had no choice but to stop and sit cross-legged, recovering his energy.

  Compared with walking, sitting cross-legged can recover much faster.

  Under such pressure, Yang Lei's mental strength was tempered quickly, and the Ice Heart Technique had already reached the fifth layer peak, and would soon break through again.

  It didn't know how long it took, an hour, or a day, or even ten days, Yang Lei returned to his peak state again, and then continued to move forward, one step at a time, just one step, which consumed nearly half of Yang Lei's spiritual power and true energy.

  Having no choice, I had to sit down and rest after a while.

  Sitting cross-legged, five hearts facing heaven.

  Xuanyuan key, Bingxin key continuously rotating.

  One week, two weeks.

  After forty-nine weeks of seven days each, Yang Lei felt the bottleneck loosen.

  Right after that, a small opening was pried open, a needle-sized hole, but the dike of a thousand miles collapsed due to an ant nest. Just this tiny needle-sized crack was enough for Yang Lei's true energy to pour in and shatter.

  All the true energy burst forth like a flood, violently breaking through the barrier, the Xuan Yuan key broke through.

  After completing a new week, Xuan Yuan broke through the eighth layer and entered the ninth layer.

  "Ding, congratulations player Xuan Yuan Jue level up."

  "Ding, congratulations to player Bing Xin Jue for leveling up."

  As Xuan Yuan Jue improved, Bing Xin Jue also improved, which surprised Yang Lei, it was too unexpected, and they broke through together.

  Bing Xin Jue had also reached the sixth layer.

  Before I could fully react, the system's voice rose again.

  "Ding, congratulations player, level up! Advancement to Martial King 7th rank."

  This really did trigger a domino effect, breaking through the eighth layer of the Xuan Yuan Secret and entering the ninth layer. Unexpectedly, not only did the Ice Heart Secret reach the sixth layer, but also the barrier of the Sixth Stage of the Martial King was broken through, entering the Seventh Stage of the Martial King. This Sixth Stage of the Martial King and the Seventh Stage of the Martial King is another small watershed.

  Entering the 7th stage of Wu Wang also means entering the late stage of Wu Wang. Once in the late stage, one's strength increases by nearly an order of magnitude compared to before. Of course, that's for ordinary Wu Wang cultivators. For Yang Hui, who had previously broken through the 9th layer of the Xuan Yuan Secret Art and increased his Qi value several times, plus breaking through the middle stage of Wu Wang to enter the late stage, so at this time, Yang Hui's strength compared to before has undergone a huge change, now his strength is nearly nine times stronger than before.

  At this time, Yang Lei faced Wu Huang in the middle period, and it was absolutely without any doubt that he would win and kill.

  Yang Wei's eyes snapped open, and a sharp aura shot out like an arrow, disappearing instantly.

  At this moment, Yang Lei stood up and felt a few times less pressure.

  There are only eight steps left, just eight steps, and I can get that Illusory Pearl.

  At this time, Yang Lei's cultivation broke through, and the pressure decreased, so he quickly took a step forward, which seemed very easy.

  Further ahead, there were still six steps to go. After advancing two more steps in a row, the pressure increased greatly, causing Yang Lei to consume a lot of energy. Sitting down to recover was undoubtedly the best choice. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry, and who knows whether the pressure ahead would double? The days spent cultivating at Yanshan had instilled in Yang Lei a cautious habit.

  …………

  But Yang Yue and others had already left the Empty Illusion Cave on the seventh day, with no news of Yang Yue.

  Yang Yue and Yang Qing Shui were extremely anxious and worried.

  Not only that, but Yang Wu Di was also worried, after all, such a genius, the hope of the Yang family, if he were to fall in the Empty Fantasy Cave, it would be a huge loss.

  It's been ten days, and it's already the tenth day, but Yang Lei still hasn't shown up. At this point, Yang Yue can no longer sit still.

  "Elder, will my brother be alright? Can you call him out for me?"

  Yang Wudi shook his head: "It won't work, he can only rely on himself."

  "It's been... it's already been ten days now." Yang Yue knew clearly in her heart that her father had only stayed for ten days back then, which was the longest record in history.

  Yang Wudi saw Yang Yue so anxious and comforted her: "You have to believe in Xiao Hui, his talent is very high, nothing will happen to him."

  Two more days passed and Yang Lei still hadn't come out, Yang Wudi was getting anxious too, Yang Yue and Yang Qingshui were like ants on a hot pot.

  While others were gloating, especially Yang Wu Hui. His son Yang Tian Lei was deposed by Yang Jue, and now that he hasn't come out yet, it's likely to be a bad omen, but in his heart, he felt exceptionally relieved.

  "Big brother, close the cave, Yang Lei that kid hasn't come out until now, I reckon he was too confident, so he entered deep inside and his spiritual energy was completely depleted, he died in there." Yang Wuwei said.

  Yang Wudi glared at him: "Shut up and keep waiting. It's not ten days or twenty days, you'll have to wait."

  Two more days have passed, and it's already the 15th day. Yang Wudi also had doubts in his heart, could it be that Yang Lei really died inside?

  "Big brother, it's already been fifteen days. He still hasn't come out. Even if he has great natural talent, it's impossible for him to persist for fifteen days, right?" Yang Wuyi said again.

  Yang Wudi persisted and looked at Yang Wuwei, saying: "You don't need to say more. Wait another 15 days. If it still doesn't come out after 15 days, close the cave."

  …………

  But Yang Lei, after recovering from his meditation, quickly took another step forward.

  This step out, pressure as before, again increased, consumption naturally also increases.

  Another step.

  Now there were only four steps left from the Fantastical Pearl.

  Three steps.

  Two steps.

  At this moment, Yang Lei withstood the pressure again.

  Constant consumption, constant recovery, and so Yang Wei stepped into the final step.

  Only one step left, just one step away.

  Yang Lei felt that he had already reached his limit, and it was just one step away, but this one step, whether he could take it out, the pressure he felt now had already reached its limit.

  At this time, he was sweating like rain, feeling that his whole body had a thousand pounds of weight, and he couldn't take a step.

  Should I back down? Should I give up?

  No, this is absolutely impossible, just for the last step, it cannot be given up.

  Yang Lei gritted his teeth, with a bulging vein on his forehead and his face turned bright red.

  "Drink..."

  Yang Lei suddenly shouted and took a step forward, his last step stepping out.

  "Ding! Congratulations, player, for passing the trial of the Annihilation Orb and obtaining it."

  At this time, the system's voice sounded, but Yang Lei couldn't hear it. Due to the huge consumption of spiritual power and true energy, Yang Lei had already fainted.

  At this time, the Huànmiè Zhū slowly flew up from the spiritual spring, emitting a white glow, and came to Yang Lei's head. It continuously repaired Yang Lei's damaged meridians, restored his mental strength, and recovered his true energy.

  It transformed into a white light and entered Yang Lei's brow point.

  …………

  The entrance of the Empty Illusory Cave.

  "It's been twenty-ninth day, this is already the twenty-ninth day." Yang Wudi looked at the entrance of the cave and muttered to himself, although he didn't say it out loud, he held a glimmer of hope, but in his heart, he estimated that the chances were slim.

  "Big brother, it's already the twenty-ninth day and that kid still hasn't come out. Give up, twenty-nine days, even if he has exceptional talent, it's impossible to hold on for that long." Yang Wuwei said calmly.

  At this time, waiting at the entrance of the empty cave were Yang Wudi, Yang Wuhan, and Yang Wuheng, three elderly men, as well as Yang Yue and Yang Qingshui. Everyone else had already left.

  "After all, there's only one day left. If he still hasn't come out by tomorrow, then we'll seal the cave." Yang Wudi sighed, not wanting to admit it, but... this was the reality. Thirty days had passed, and the longest record was only ten days at most. They had waited for a month, and if he hadn't emerged by now, then there was no need to continue waiting."

  The next day.

  "The thirty days have arrived, close the cave door." Yang Wudi helplessly waved his hand, and with no one coming out in thirty days, the last thread of hope was also shattered.

  As the cave was closed, Yang Yue's heart turned cold as ashes.

  "Rumble!" At this time, a sound came from the Hollow Cave.

  "What's going on?" Yang Wudi and the others were shocked, "Could it be... could it be that Yang Wei is still alive, and because the cave entrance was closed, he's attacking the entrance?"

  "Hurry...hurry and open the cave entrance." Yang Wuheng shouted.

  Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhen join forces, the cave door opens once again.

  As expected, Yang Lei was holding the Wind Hiding Knife in his hand and was about to attack the cave entrance.

  Everyone was overjoyed at the sight, and they never thought that Yang Wei was still alive.

  "Good boy." Yang Wudi shouted loudly, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

  Yang Lei stepped out of the Void Illusion Cave, and his cultivation, which had been suppressed by the cave, suddenly began to rise.

  King Wu's eight steps.

  King Wu's nine cauldrons.

  The King of Wu is perfectly round.

  He stopped when he reached the Wu Wang Da Yuan Man, Yang Lei's foundation was too strong, without the suppression of the Kong Huang Dong, the vast energy absorbed in his body only allowed him to break through to the Wu Wang Da Yuan Man.
