Chapter 95: The Spiritual Message of Parents - Chapter 96: The Ninth Level of the Earth

  Yang Tong only considered it for a moment before deciding to make Lin Yueyin his dual cultivation partner. He could gain some benefits, use Lin Yueyin to improve his cultivation, and also break her Dao heart.

  Before the Lin family's downfall, Yang Tong's hatred in her heart could only be vented on her, it was truly wonderful.

  "Lin Yueyin, you're cultivating the Heart Severing Technique, aren't you?" Yang Tong walked over with a smile on his face, carrying food and water.

  "What do you want to do?" Lin Yueyun instinctively felt that something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

  "Can you tell me what the name of your cultivation technique is?" Yang Tong asked with a smile, but he was just asking casually and didn't expect her to answer.

  "'The Unmoving Ice Heart Technique', a top-tier Earth-grade cultivation method!" Lin Yueyun actually replied.

  "'The Unmoving Ice Heart Technique'? A skill of the Mingyue Sect, are you a disciple of the Mingyue Sect?" Yang Tong asked unexpectedly. This Mingyue Sect, Yang Tong had seen it on the power distribution map provided by the Mercenary Guild, this was a sect that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and had always been single-handedly transmitted, in other words, each generation of the sect only accepted one disciple, and they were all female disciples. Requiring them to be as clear and pure as ice, with a strong and resilient character.

  In the ancient era, when humans first occupied the Wind-Hidden Continent, apart from the Central Heavenly Dynasty, there were only eight ancient empires stationed in all directions on the continent, occupying only one-tenth of the region. The rest of the places were mostly occupied by savage beasts and poisonous insects, including some remaining aboriginal forces. At that time, the ruling power of the dynasty was extremely weak, unlike the current Wind-Hidden Continent, which has developed over a million years, with three-fifths of the continent being ruled by countless human kingdoms and emerging empires. In ancient times, it was in the form of sects, occupying the spiritual veins and resources of all parts of the continent, developing human civilization, and eliminating aboriginal forces everywhere.

  Later, most sects evolved into royal families establishing kingdoms or empires. Although many sects still exist on the continent today, truly powerful and ancient great sects are mostly found in the royal families of various kingdoms and imperial courts. Sects established within national borders still have to pay taxes. Gradually, other sects moved out of their respective countries' regions, deep into the wilderness, continuing to develop.

  Some of these sects disappeared in the long river of history, while others developed to an extreme and were able to establish a country or divide land as kings.

  One of the most basic conditions for a sect to open up a country is to require a true god to appear in the sect. Only a true god can establish a country, open up a royal family, govern a region, and possess more abundant resources and cultivation conditions.

  Although Mingyue Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years, the sect's strength is still far from reaching the level of establishing a country.

  The inheritance of the Moon Sect seems to be extremely unremarkable, but in fact, it has only been passed down to Lin Yueyin's generation for seven generations. It is said that the strongest person in the Moon Sect now is the third-generation ancestor, who has a cultivation base of Void Nine Levels and is only one step away from the Sacred Realm. With a reputation spanning over 4,000 years in the Star County, it is quite famous.

  "You know I'm a disciple of the Bright Moon Sect, you should understand that the power of the Bright Moon Sect is absolutely not something you can shake. If you let me go, I won't pursue this matter." Lin Yueyin said proudly.

  "Is it the top-tier technique of a prefecture-level cultivator?" Yang Tong shook his head disdainfully and began to recite the Yin Scroll of "The Supreme Ultimate Yin-Yang Poem". Although this poem was listed in the "Supreme Profound Origin Jade Clear Treasure Canon", it was only recorded by the Jade Clear Ancestral Saint, and did not belong to the orthodox transmission of the Jade Clear lineage. However, it did not fall into the category of forbidden knowledge that could not be transmitted externally. As Yang Tong recited the poem, his words were like pearls on a string, stirring up the primordial energy, causing the characters to vibrate with energy, and strange phenomena to emerge in profusion.

  Fortunately, the Avoid Heaven Flag worked and did not let this shocking aura spread out.

  Lin Yueyun listened attentively while gazing at the mysterious phenomenon of the primordial energy forming into words, and she was shocked to the point of being stunned. She carefully listened and comprehended the profundity of this technique.

  Yang Tong only recited the part about cultivating Qi and building foundation, which is the heart method of practicing Qi and laying foundations.

  "How's it? What level do you think this skill of mine is at?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

  Lin Yueyun's face turned pale, and her words drew in the vital energy. The pearls were endless, this legendary omen only appeared with divine-level techniques. Earth-level top-tier techniques were nothing compared to this divine-level technique.

  "You, you, you" Lin Yueyun was really frightened. Yang Tong actually had a divine-level kung fu inheritance. He was indeed the genius department member of the Mercenary Guild. Only this explanation could explain why he possessed divine-level kung fu. Cultivating divine-level kung fu, its progress speed is much faster than the top of the earth level.

  The Lin family's town clan merit method, but only the mysterious level top stage, not even reaching the ground stage. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent to the Mingyue Sect for cultivation by her family. Because cultivating the mysterious level top stage merit method would only waste her water attribute talent that reached super strong ps.

  "I'm a Spirit Tool Master, I won't lack cultivation resources, I have a divine technique on my body, what's the big deal about Sky Level? True God is my goal! You Lin family has provoked me, hehehe" Yang Tong said proudly.

  Lin Yueyin's heart was also filled with a mix of emotions, which could be described as a complex blend of five flavors. She was extremely excited to have witnessed the legendary divine-level technique. Having understood Yang Tong's immense potential, she couldn't help but worry about the Lin family. The "Still Ice Heart" seemed to have lost its effect at this moment, and the emotions hidden deep within Lin Yueyin began to fluctuate. She couldn't suppress her intense greed, jealousy, and murderous intent towards Yang Tong.

  "Hahaha" Yang Tong laughed loudly, and once again reinforced the seal with a forbidden technique before going to arrange the stone chamber. This place wasn't suitable for cultivation, but since the outside was bound to be extremely tense at this time, Yang Tong decided to expand this cave, using it as a base to set up a temporary dwelling, and hide out for a while.

  Lin Yue's emotions calmed down, and she began to carefully ponder the scripture that Yang Tong had just recited.

  The more she comprehended, the more she could feel its mighty power, far surpassing "Unmoving Ice Heart Technique" by countless times. Lin Yueyun couldn't help but have an urge to change her cultivation method and restart from scratch.

  However, Lin Yueyin did not lose his rationality. This divine-level skill was in Yang Tong's hands, and he had only recited the first two layers. If he were to change his skills and cultivate again, wouldn't he be controlled by him?

  "Hmm, can't major in it, I'll just minor in it then?" Lin Yueyun thought to herself. The more she comprehended and analyzed, the more she felt that if she were to cultivate this technique, breaking through to the Sky level wouldn't be a difficult task at all.

  "You're quite sinister, actually transmitting the heart method without transmitting the general outline." Lu Bao said with a smile.

  "Hmph, what's the big deal? I just recited a mantra, and I didn't ask her to cultivate it. If she wants to cultivate it herself, that's not my problem." Yang Tong said with a clear conscience, don't think that top-level cultivation methods are easy to practice. Every set of top-level cultivation methods has its own outline, and this outline is the essence of the cultivation method. Without understanding the outline, or if the outline is not understood strongly enough, forcibly cultivating the mantra can lead to light consequences such as going crazy, making it difficult to make progress in cultivation, or heavy consequences such as falling into the devil's path, forever sinking."

  Everything in the world has two sides, and divine skills are no exception. The more mysterious a skill is, the faster it progresses when cultivated, and what restricts this skill from going off track and causing serious consequences is the overall framework of the skill. A set of divine skills, if cultivated correctly will be correct, but if cultivated incorrectly will lead to demonic possession.

  In modern civilization, there is no distinction between good and evil, only the struggle for racial survival. Therefore, those who practice cultivation methods and become demons are everywhere.

  Of course, the demonic path can also reach the pinnacle, it's just that this road is more tortuous, more dangerous and more terrifying, and if you're not careful, it's a fate worse than death.

  Obviously, Lin Yueyin's vision was not enough, she simply did not know the restrictive nature of divine-level exercises, and she still thought that divine-level exercises were the same as heavenly and earthly exercises, and could be cultivated as long as they were obtained.

  "Hello, Big Brother Li." Yang Tong had excavated a stone chamber and set up an isolation seal not long after. Coincidentally, Li Fangxin's spirit message arrived at this moment.

  "Yang, you're really okay, that's great! I've been trying to reach you and was worried." Li Fangxin said.

  "Oh, my Spirit Messenger was just repaired recently." Yang Tong replied.

  "Due to the rules, I can't directly lend you a hand unless you're willing to formally seek help from the guild. However, regarding the Lin family's movements, I can privately provide you with some information. But I suggest that it would be best for you to leave Quixing County, or even the Kingdom of Huangyu. Go and experience the true wilderness cultivation, this world is vast, and you need to personally go out and explore it in order to understand its grandeur." Li Fangxin said.

  "Thanks for your help, Brother Li." Yang Tong said sincerely.

  "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore, you'll have a surprise in a while." Li Fangxin said with a smile.

  Li Fangxin had just hung up the phone when another call came in.

  "Son!" The virtual screen suddenly displayed the images of Yang Tong's parents.

  "Dad, Mom, are you two alright?" Yang Tong exclaimed with great surprise.

  "Don't worry, your mom and I are fine. Don't think you're the only one who's tough, your old man isn't someone to be trifled with either. If we didn't even have a way to save our lives, how could we be hunters? Not only that, but I also took down seven of those Dark Tiger guys, and really vented my frustrations." Yang Tong said with great satisfaction.

  "Let's get down to business, stop bragging." Lu Xiaojuan pinched her husband hard on the side and reminded him.

  "Alright, with the help of Officer Li, we have already left Luoxing City and are now in Zhāi Xīng City, a third-tier city under Kuáng Lóng Prefecture, working at the Mercenary Guild. You've grown up, you don't need to stay by your parents' side all the time. Young eagles will eventually spread their wings, so be brave and fly." Yang Tong said with deep emotion.

  "Dad, Mom" Yang Tong was so moved that he couldn't speak anymore.

  Chapter 96: The Ninth Level of the Earth Realm Ends. Yang Tong sat quietly in the stone room, sitting for a whole hour.

  Yang Tong suddenly spat out a black gas, gaining a new understanding of the overall outline of Yu Qing's secret record, his realm improved significantly, and at the same time, he spat out the depression in his heart, and his heart demon dissipated.

  Yang Tong felt a refreshing and comfortable sensation, as if the shackles in his heart had been opened and a knot had been untied. His mind was clear and untroubled, like crystal glass.

  Yang Tong took advantage of this opportunity and took out two high-quality crystal stones, starting to meditate and cultivate.

  In a flash, three days passed by. Yang Tong used up four high-quality crystal stones and was promoted to Earth Level 6, which went very smoothly.

  Yang Tong only started thinking about what to do next at this time.

  First and foremost, the threat of Lin Yueyin must be resolved. This woman must be completely controlled, she cannot be allowed to escape. Although his parents are safe, but his family was forced to flee by the Lin family, hiding in a foreign land like a fugitive, Yang Tong still remembered it.

  After reaching the level of Terra, human dependence on food and water can be reduced to once every half month.

  Yang Tong had been in seclusion for three days and came out of the stone room, walking towards the prison cell.

  "You, you actually broke through to the sixth level of the Grand Earth Realm?" Lin Yueyin was quite surprised. Not long ago, Yang Tong's cultivation had not even reached the peak of the fifth level of the Grand Earth Realm, but three days later he broke through a level, this speed was a bit too fast.

  "What's so surprising? I've been studying spiritual tools for years, otherwise I would have broken through to the Sky level long ago." Yang Tong said disdainfully. What Yang Tong said was not wrong, if he really put his heart into cultivation, he might indeed break through to the Sky level. However, doing so would make his foundation somewhat unstable.

  Lin Yueyin couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine and a sense of dread after hearing this. A genius with god-level skills and extraordinary talent, becoming the enemy of the Lin family - what a terrifying nightmare that would be.

  Lin Yueyin thought her father's methods were foolish for the first time. Thinking of this, Lin Yueyin made up her mind to cultivate a divine-level technique. As long as she took one step ahead and broke through to the Sky level, she could get rid of the trouble and eliminate this person to solve a heart disease for the Lin family.

  "Hmm, you're really a nuisance, I'm considering whether or not to get rid of you." Yang Tong said with a smile.

  Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "You won't do that for the time being, right?" Because she was a lifesaver, at least until Yang Tong left the range of Lin family's influence, she was his last lifesaver.

  "No, it's just that I find it very troublesome. I don't want to have to be on guard against you escaping all the time while I'm cultivating. And I don't have a habit of releasing tigers back into the mountains," Yang Tong said halfway through, and then stopped speaking.

  "So you want to take advantage of me and make it impossible for me to escape?" Lin Yueyin stared at Yang Tong, continuing.

  "Not bad." Yang Tong replied calmly.

  "Alright, come on." Lin Yueyun did not resist because she knew that if she didn't let Yang Tong feel at ease, there might really be a danger to her life. This was a decisive person who took action.

  "Also, please don't resist, Miss Lin." Yang Tong clasped his hands together and cast the seal into Lin Yueyin's mind sea. This was the Controlling Chaos Seal, a forbidden technique! Once cast, this person's life and death would be at Yang Tong's mercy. The only drawback of the Controlling Chaos Seal was that its effects would wear off over time. With Yang Tong's current abilities, casting one seal could last for about one to two years before needing to be recast.

  However, fortunately, after the ban is imposed, it will resonate with the ban token in Yang Tong's hand. When the resonance drops to a certain level, Yang Tong will know that it's time to reinforce the ban again.

  "Alright, can I resume my actions now?" Lin Yueyin asked in a cold tone.

  "It's possible, but Yang is not convinced by Lin Niang. I wonder if Lin Niang has any secret communication device that she hasn't handed over?" Yang Tong asked uncertainly. The Mingyue Sect can last for ten thousand years, what if this Lin Niang leaves some hidden cards, it would be too late to regret then."

  I said no, you wouldn't believe me either... Lin Yueyin sighed.

  "It's indeed so, I wonder if Miss Lin has any good strategy to teach me?" Yang Tong said calmly.

  "No." Lin Yue hummed coldly.

  "I've got it!" Yang Tong said with a smile, and directly slapped out with one palm. At this moment, Lin Yueyun had not yet recovered from her action and could not resist at all.

  This palm didn't have any attacking power, it just swept past with a gust of wind. All the clothes and accessories on Lin Yue's body were reduced to powder, those that weren't pulverized were suspicious items, which Yang Tong collected together, preparing to burn them in the fire.

  "Ah!" Lin Yueyin was sitting naked on the stone bed at this moment, a wave of shame and anger, her icy heart almost shattered.

  "Wow, indeed has material! A rare beauty is a rare beauty!" Yang Tong openly admired, as if admiring a work of art.

  Not at all, shoulders like willow leaves, waist like a willow branch, skin as white as snow, full and round jade rabbit, perfectly rounded, with a small pink star on top, and the lower abdomen vaguely visible tempting black forest, indeed a rare beauty in the world.

  "Yang Tong, if you dare to do it, I'll kill you!" Lin Yueyun said angrily, at this moment, she couldn't care about anything else. From childhood to adulthood, she was the daughter of a noble family, the eldest lady of the Lin family, with a prominent family background, no worries about food and clothing, and countless servants serving her, and countless talented men pursuing her. She is also a cultivation genius, proud and confident, how could she have suffered such humiliation?!

  "Continue, continue, the angrier you are, the more comfortable I am, the Lin family owes me this, it's just a small..."

  "Ha ha, with this little interest, you can stay in the cave from now on, and I'll be at ease!" Yang Tong laughed loudly, feeling relieved and having vented his anger.

  Yang Tong finished speaking and withdrew the Five Elements Formation, restoring Lin Yue's mobility.

  Lin Yueyin's hands immediately clasped her chest, her body turned sideways, and she curled up into a ball, blocking the spring light below her abdomen. Then, with an icy gaze that could freeze people to death, she stared at Yang Tong.

  "What are you staring at? Stare again and I'll dig out your eyes!" Yang Tong growled viciously, then walked out of the stone room and opened the seal on the entrance.

  Lin Yueyun felt an overwhelming urge to cry for the first time, feeling extremely wronged. But upon further reflection, she realized that Yang Tong had done nothing wrong; they were enemies, not friends, and when dealing with enemies, any means were justified - there was no right or wrong between them, only differing stances.

  Although Lin Yueyin felt wronged, she was even more worried about the Lin family in her heart. Yang Tong was not only ruthless and cunning, but also had a strong endurance and tolerance, with great potential for growth. The longer the time dragged on, the faster Yang Tong grew and the stronger he became. Before long, Yang Tong would be able to rely on his divine-level skills to advance to the Sky Level, and within a hundred years, he could even advance to the Void Level. At that time, it would be the end of the Lin family.

  Cultivation is all that's left. As long as I can enter the Sky Realm one step ahead of Yang Tong, I might be able to salvage everything and even turn the current disadvantage around.

  Lin Yueyun understood that if Yang Tong was still practicing the "Unmoving Ice Heart Technique", it would be impossible to surpass the cultivation of a divine-level technique, and he could only assist in cultivating the set of divine-level techniques obtained from Yang Tong.

  Lin Yueyin had also suspected that this set of skills was a trap, but after several days of contemplation, she felt it didn't seem like one. After all, the original text was so exquisite and the strange phenomenon that occurred when the yuanqi was activated couldn't be faked. If this skill was fake or a trap, there wouldn't have been such a phenomenon.

  Yang Tong returned to his stone chamber, first burning all the useless things he had collected in the furnace fire, and then re-refining the useful things with the furnace fire. He thoroughly checked for any suspicious marks that could reveal his whereabouts.

  Yang Tong designed a set of Five Elements Return Spirit Seals to avoid the Heavenly Flag, making it possible for the flag to continue working without constantly consuming true yuan spiritual power. After being re-forged, the Heavenly Flag only needs to be inserted into the ground to activate the earth's energy and absorb the external heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to maintain its effect.

  In the following days, Yang Tong arranged forbidden laws everywhere in the cave mansion, monitoring everything in the entire cave mansion. The entrance of the cave was also sealed by Yang Tong.

  After completing all the preparations, he returned to his stone chamber and began to focus on his cultivation. Yang Tong's stone chamber was built near the top of the mountain, where the middle of the mountain peak had been hollowed out by Yang Tong into a stone chamber, with a ventilation hole drilled through it and an observation hole pierced through it. Inside the stone chamber, he could absorb the morning sun's energy during the day and the night's moonlight essence at night, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to aid his cultivation.

  This kind of putting down everything and focusing on cultivation is something that Yang Tong has never done since breaking through to the Earth Level.

  Time passed in this long and arduous practice, and three years went by in a flash.

  The Lin family searched the outskirts for three whole years, but found nothing. The Lin family's wanted poster was openly posted in every large and small market in Quixing County, with a reward of 100 mid-grade crystal stones just for providing information. However, over the past three years, everyone had wanted to claim this reward, yet no one had ever succeeded.

  Yang Tong spent the past three years without leaving his house, and while his cultivation was steadily improving, his foundation was also extremely solid. In these three years, Yang Tong had successfully cultivated to the ninth level of the Earth Realm, but the high-quality crystal stone in his hand had been completely consumed. Although he could still cultivate with mid-quality crystal stones, the efficiency would be greatly reduced, because the spiritual energy Yang Tong needed now was ten thousand times that of an ordinary person. The purity of his True Yuan was enough to allow him to smoothly enter the Core Formation stage.

  At the same time, Lin Yueyin also miraculously advanced to Earth 9th level within three years. Unlike Yang Tong, who used a large number of high-quality crystal stones to drive his cultivation progress, Lin Yueyin didn't use even a single standard crystal stone and relied solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivating the Taiyin Volume of "Yinyang Wujie Fu". This made her cultivation faster than when she was cultivating "Budong Bingxin Quan" with countless resources to assist. In just three years, she advanced from Earth 7th level to Earth 9th level, which would absolutely make those who had been cultivating for tens or hundreds of years jealous to the point of wanting to kill her.

  But she is only limited to the 9th level of the Grandmaster, and cannot reach the level of Yang Tong. As long as her cultivation is sufficient, she can easily break through the bottleneck of the Sky Level.

  In three years, they exchanged less than a hundred words between them, but their relationship was more relaxed than it was three years ago.

  Today's update is about 6,000 words. If there are no unexpected events, tomorrow will have around 9,000 words. The update time is set for noon.
