Within the sed level of the Star Sn Tower, Mo Yang sat in sileation. He had beeing his breathing for several hours. Then, he ed a pre-prepared Essehering Pill.

  With a thought, the golden energy in his dantian surged forth, c rapidly through his meridians uhe guidance of the Star Sn Teique. The energy, ernalized, flowed across his body like golden dragons, creating dynamic ripples withiower. The surrounding heaven ah energy was tinuously drawn into his body.

  Before long, a wave of energy burst forth from Mo Yang, apanied by a powerful ripple of cultivation energy radiating in all dires.

  The Heavenly Profound Realm opehe ages began to turn, and the barrier of cultivation had been shattered.

  His body trembled violently. His dantian expanded more than twice its inal size in an instant, and the turbulent golden energy reversed course, surging back through his meridians before verging and rushing toward a specific pathway.

  The Heavenly Profound Realm sists of ages. With each breakthrough, one must open a profound vein within the body. Now that Mo Yang had asded to the first stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm, his goal was to open his first profound vein.

  The Fourth Elder, before his passing, had exteaught Mo Yang about cultivation. Normally, one would open a single profound vein with each breakthrough. However, it was said that highly gifted prodigies could open two or even more profound veins simultaneously—an achievement that greatly enhaheir bat potential.

  "The dantian itself is the rgest profound vein in the body. If I treat it as the first profound vein and open it anew, will that result in something different?" Mo Yang pondered.

  As he thought this, he redirected his energy back toward his dantian. Uhe relentless urging of the Star Sn Teique, the violent energy was pressed and forced into his dantian.

  "Ahhh!"

  A scream escaped Mo Yang’s lips as his dantian fractured uhe immense pressure, nearly colpsiirely.

  Blood surged to his throat, spilling from the er of his mouth in a bright red streak.

  The intense pain was unlike anything Mo Yang had ever experie felt as if his muscles were being torn apart, his bones shattered, and his entire body sliced by thousands of bdes. His sciousness wavered, teetering on the edge of unsciousness.

  What Mo Yang hadn’t realized was the severity of what he had just attempted. No one had ever tried to treat the dantian itself as a profouo be opened. Acc to the ventional rules of the Heavenly Profound Realm, su approach was unheard of.

  The violent energy within his body had spiraled out of trol, pletely ign his will. The damaged dantian was on the verge of colpsiirely uhe onsught of energy.

  "Boom..."

  Suddenly, Mo Yahe eoower tremble. The walls around him began to glow, emitting radiant streaks of light that verged toward him.

  Faintly, Mo Yang seemed to hear the melody of the Dao, ahereal hymn that echoed like sacred ts.

  Although his eyes were tightly shut and his expression torted with pain, Mo Yang failed to notice the transformation around him. A inscriptions began to surfa the tower’s walls, pulsating with majestic waves of energy. These inscriptioed powerful soundwaves that reverberated through the space.

  Uedly, the Star Sn Teique within his body began to activate on its own, resonating with the stoower. The ruptured dantian, which had been on the brink of destru, stabilized uhe mysterious forces at py. Slowly, it began tee and reshape itself.

  Mo Yang gritted his teeth and ehe ordeal for as long as he could. Eventually, exhaustioook him, and he fainted into unsciousness.

  Mo Yang didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally regained sciousness. His entire body ached as if every inch of his skin had been sliced open.

  Opening his eyes, he found the stoower had returo its usual calm. He quickly focused his senses on his dantian and was astoo find it not only intact but alser than before. However, due to the earlier loss of trol over his energy, his meridians had sustained some damage.

  Fortunately, Mo Yang wasn’t overly ed about the damage to his meridians. The Restorative Pill he had previously refined ecifically meant for healing injuries.

  "That was close... I almost made a huge mistake!"

  Recalling the events that had just transpired, Mo Yang couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of fear. Before fainting, he had vaguely sehe inteivity withioower—a mysterious e seemed to have formed between him and the tower, apanied by the reverberating melody of the Dao.

  "It seems this Star Sn Tower is far more mysterious than I ever imagined..."

  With no time to dwell oter, Mo Yang begaating to heal his injuries. His body was still in siderable pain, and recovery was his immediate priority.

  Tassed withioower.

  During this time, Mo Yang ed three Restorative Pills. By the end of the sed day, his meridians were 70–80% healed, allowing him to finally clude his meditation.

  With his breakthrough plete, Mo Ya an unpreted surge of power c through him. The Heavenly Profound Realm was unlike any realm he had experienced before. To test his strength, he eled his energy and pointed a finger forward, unleashing a streak of sword energy that shot out like lightning. The energy pierced through a stone ben his courtyard, leaving a hole.

  "Incredible..." Mo Yang murmured. "Life truly is ued. Barely two months ago, I could only dream of reag the Heavenly Profound Realm. And now, it’s within my grasp."

  He couldn’t help but sigh. Two months ago, he wouldn’t have dared to imagine achieving such a milestone in cultivation.

  Meanwhile, Mo Yang was unaware of the otion his ret activities had caused.

  Su Feier’s ht breakthrough—from the peak of the sed stage to the peak of the third stage of the Tongling Realm—was ahat defied all logic.

  Such a sudden leap in cultivation was impossible to hide. Word quickly spread, and rumors emerged linking her breakthrough to a mysterious pill from Mo Yang.

  As the story spread, disciples from across the sect began flog to Wood Peak, especially those who had been stu the brink of a breakthrough. They hoped to obtain the same mystical pill that could help them advan cultivation.

  However, Mo Yang was o be found. None of the sect members had seen him sihe i.

  The elders, oher hand, were left utterly baffled.

  After repeated questioning by the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master, Su Feier finally admitted that Mo Yang knew how to refine pills. She expihat the materials she had previously taken from the treasury were meant for him.

  For the elders, this revetion was akin to a thundercp.

  Their disbelief only grew as they mulled over the implications. Mo Yang had grown up practically uheir noses on Wood Peak, mentored by the Fourth Elder. Yet there had been no indication that he possessed alchemical skills.

  Even the Fourth Elder himself had no knowledge of alchemy. Where, then, had Mo Yang learned su advanced craft?

  One by ohe elders furrowed their brows ihought. The Supreme Elder, in particur, had been keeping a close eye on Mo Yang ever sihe young man’s cultivation had begun advang at an unpreted pace.

  "This boy is clearly hiding some incredible secrets," the Supreme Elder muttered under his breath. Ever since Mo Yang had revealed his cultivatiress, it had shattered the elder’s uanding of what ossible.

  "No wonder he’s always in need of materials. To think he knows alchemy... what a treasure he is..."

  The Supreme Elder’s expression darkened as his thoughts deepened. With a hint of frustratiotered, "So mas… a, he still refuses to open up. What an aggravating boy!"

  The situation surrounding Mo Yang and Su Feier had bee the Supreme Elder’s greatest source of curiosity—and a growing enigma. Mo Yang’s refusal to follow ventional logily added to the mystery.
