Thirty Years (Continued)
After three years of Talisman Crafting, the Yang Household's strength had unknowingly increased significantly once again.
With three years remaining, Yang Tianyou turned his heart towards the sky, took out a drop of Heavenly Stele Stone Milk, put it in his mouth, and slowly refined it using the "White Emperor Blade Canon".
An hour later, he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Sure enough, after breaking through to the Mid Sage Manifestation, the effect of the Heavenly Stele Stone Milk in assisting cultivation plummeted."
If this continues, it will probably take at least sixty or seventy years to break through to the Late Sage Manifestation.
Moreover, the Heavenly Stele Stone Milk is insufficient; only five drops remain, and another treasure must be found to replace it...
Having grown accustomed to the exhilarating feeling of rapid advancement in cultivation, and finding the marrow-penetrating experience tedious, Yang Tianyou found it difficult to transition from extravagance to frugality.
Moreover, given the current situation, he cannot afford to slowly improve his cultivation.
"It seems we need to get more high-grade spirit medicine and have Zhiming refine some Sixth Tier, Upper Grade and top-quality Pills to supplement the Heavenly Stele Stone Milk. This should greatly improve the speed of cultivation."
There are also Spirit Vein Essences of Sixth Tier, Mid Grade or higher...
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Tianyou stood up and walked out of the Seclusion Chamber.
He planned to make careful arrangements. Three years later, when the Realm War resumed, the defenses of the Nine Phoenix Realm would be greatly weakened, presenting an excellent opportunity to reap benefits.
Not to mention, Lin Yingyue's Demon Sea Devil Cultivators in the Nine Phoenix Realm serve as targets, making Shanhai and his group's operation even smoother.
Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land.
A hazy gray mist filled the air with an omnipresent, devouring power. Any creature that ventured into this place without the permission of its master or through special means would have its essence Void Refinement and would perish.
Deep within the forbidden area, muffled sounds of Fleshly Body colliding echoed, and the resulting shockwaves caused the gray mist to churn.
In the square, two monkeys, one red and one gold, were fighting fiercely, their expressions ferocious, as if they wanted to devour anyone. However, their every move was exquisite, containing unparalleled fighting skills.
Wildness and savagery, combined with meticulous detail, are perfectly blended in these two ape statues.
"Yan Kong is truly a gifted young man. Not only is his cultivation only one step away from becoming Sage Manifestation, but his combat strength has already crossed that insurmountable barrier."
"Among the prodigies of my Yang Household, there are probably no more than three who can compare to him," Yang Tiankang said with a sigh, holding his sword in both hands.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianxue's phoenix eyes curved slightly, and she smiled faintly, a hint of pride flashing across her fair and jade-like face.
She stood gracefully in a red feather dress, with a Phoenix emblem of soaring wings on her brow, appearing and disappearing, exuding a noble and aloof aura.
Judging from his cultivation level, he had already reached the Peak Early Sage Manifestation realm, and could break through to the Mid Sage Manifestation at any time.
Clearly, the Phoenix Nirvana Pool had extraordinary effects, causing Yang Tianxue, who originally had mediocre talent in cultivation, to undergo a tremendous Bloodline Metamorphosis.
"Xiao Yan's talent is beyond doubt, but he is a bit impulsive. Perhaps it is due to the influence of his bloodline. The higher his cultivation level, the less he can suppress his inner fire!" A trace of worry flashed in Yang Tianxue's eyes.
After a moment of contemplation, Shanhai said, "Yan Kong is Half-Demon genius, with his Human Race bloodline and the bloodline of the Explosive Flame Divine Ape perfectly fused together."
However, as the Explosive Flame Divine Ape's Bloodline Reversion, his Human Race bloodline gradually fell into a weaker position.
If we can find a way to strengthen the Human Race bloodline and bring the two into balance, we should be able to solve this problem.
Ultimately, it's because Yan Kong's cultivation has improved too quickly. In just over a hundred years, he's gone from a mere Mortal to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation. Even for a peerless genius, it's to be expected that he'll encounter some obstacles!
"But how can we strengthen the Human Race bloodline in Yan Kong?" Yang Tianyou frowned and asked Shanhai.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister, Yan Kong bloodline issue to me. I guarantee I'll resolve it before he Sage Manifestation," Shanhai assured her.
Hearing this, Yang Tianxue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Shanhai never made empty promises, and if he made a guarantee, he was likely to deliver.
"The battle is over!" Yang Tiankang suddenly said at this moment.
The two quickly focused their attention and saw Yan Kong, now in Yan Kong, wielding Gilded Coiling-Dragon Wrought-Iron Staff dragon design, lash out fiercely from left to right.
"Ha!!"
The sound waves rolled on, containing an invisible soul-shaking impact. This was an extremely sophisticated Sound-Striking Divine Ability that could not only shake the soul but also immobilize the body, making it exceptionally powerful.
Bang!!
As the baton fell, it parted the layers of air, and the gray fog outside the square surged up and down as if it were alive. Every now and then, a chilling and fierce aura would seep into the square, but in an instant, it would be burned away by the fire that permeated the surrounding area.
"Ahem, kid, you pass!" The golden ape slowly rose from the ground, its sharp, furry face showing a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Finally passed!" Yan Kong put the iron rod in his hand into his Dantian, and did several somersaults in the air. His excitement could be felt by everyone present.
They were not surprised by this.
Having passed this test, Yan Kong will no longer be subject to the control of the golden ape and will be able to freely enter and leave the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land.
Regaining their freedom was, of course, incredibly exciting.
"Come on, kid, you've passed all the tests, and I have some things to pass on to you!" The golden ape turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked leisurely into the gray mist.
Yan Kong glanced at Yang Tianxue, and after she nodded slightly, he followed her.
"That kid is truly blinded by lust!" The golden ape walking in front cursed inwardly, feeling utterly disappointed.
He had kindly imparted over a hundred years of knowledge to him, but in the end, Yan Kong considered the little girl who inherited the Phoenix Blood to be the closest person to him. This left the golden ape feeling quite bitter.
But there was nothing they could do. In all these years, the Nine Phoenix Realm had only produced Half-Demon, Yan Kong, who met the requirements for the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land Yan Kong. The golden ape simply had no choice.
After all, his existence is similar to that of Dao Soldier; he can never defy his master's will for all eternity.
Watching Yan Kong and the golden ape enter the gray mist together, the three members of the Yang Household landed on the plaza. Shanhai took out a jade table, a futon, tea leaves, pastries, and other items from his Storage Ring, along with a group of twelve slender and graceful figures.
These are all Puppets, but their main purpose is not fighting, but performing songs and dances.
Although he is Yang Tianyou's Second Primordial Spirit, Shanhai possesses a completely independent personality and mind, and compared to Yang Tianyou, he is more inclined to enjoy life.
The air was filled with melodious music and graceful dances. Shan Shanhai, with one hand supporting him on the ground and the other holding a cup of Spirit Wine, savored it slowly, appearing quite content.
Yang Tiankang and Yang Tianxue were not surprised, and each picked up a Spirit Fruit and put it in their mouths to taste.
"Huh? I have an order!" Shanhai suddenly sat up straight, waved his right hand, and the female Puppets below stopped dancing and stood obediently in place.
"What does Nineteenth Younger Brother want us to do?" Yang Tiankang asked curiously.
Yang Tianxue also turned her gaze towards them. Having only been awakened for over twenty years, she had never participated in a truly major operation, and her anticipation was at its peak.
"I have ordered that after the Fourth Stage the Interface War begins, we should look for opportunities to attack some powerful forces, preferably those with Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Spirit Veins, to extract their Spirit Vein Essence and plunder various high-level spirit medicine," Shanhai said truthfully.
"This is not a good situation. Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Spirit Vein combined with a sufficiently powerful Defensive Formation is enough to withstand Sage Manifestation Great Perfection expert."
"Even if we could break through the Formation, it would take too long, and we could easily be surrounded by the enemy!" Yang Tianxue shook her head and said.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I will refine a batch of mid-to-high- Sixth Tier- order Formation-Breaking Talisman and send them over to us."
"There are also a large number of spatial attribute Spirit Items to help the Void Worm advance further!" Shanhai explained.
Then he looked at Yang Tiankang and said, "In addition to these resources, I also intend to return the Beacon Beacon-Fire Sword."
With this treasure, and our combined abilities, even if we encounter Void Refinement expert, we can escape with our lives!
"The Beacon-Fire Sword? What about the Lineage's Clan-Guarding Array?" Yang Tiankang was more alarmed than pleased, and asked with a furrowed brow.
"Sixth Brother, don't worry. The Lineage has gathered enough Sixth Tier Flying Swords. Even without the support of the Beacon-Fire Sword, the Lesser Celestial Circuit Star Sword Formation can still unleash Void Refinement attack."
"Moreover, with the Great Sun Golden Bowl Formation reinforced by the Solar Warship, Purple Moon Mountain is already impregnable," Shanhai said confidently.
"That's good." Yang Tiankang nodded slightly, now he could safely put away the Beacon-Fire Sword.
Then, the group took out a map of the Nine Phoenix Realms and began selecting their targets.
Before long, Yan Kong, who emerged from the gray mist, also joined in with great interest.
