Yang San Reaches the Ancestor God Realm, the Xuan Clan Prepares to Leave the Barren Land, Murong Xue Breaks Off Her Engagement to Xiao Yan

Profound Sky World, Xuan Clan.

Boom!

A beam of divine light shot into the sky!

"The Clan Leader has broken through!"

The busy clansmen looked at the divine light in the sky and cheered joyfully!

Soon after, the pressure of the mid-stage Ancestor God Realm descended upon the entire clan.

Inside Yang San's room.

Yang San, who had been in seclusion for a long time, exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly finished his cultivation, opening his eyes.

He clenched his fist, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly!

He then rose and walked out of the room, entering the courtyard to practice his punches.

"Husband!"

Mu Dan ran over excitedly and immediately looked Yang San over from side to side.

This period of seclusion had not only completely restored his damaged origin, but had also raised his cultivation by an entire major realm. Compared to Yang Yu, this was true accumulated growth finally bursting forth.

Before his origin had been damaged, Yang San's cultivation had reached the mid-stage Divine Emperor Realm at its peak.

After his origin was damaged and he fled to the Soul Control Continent, his cultivation steadily declined. Later, he tried all sorts of methods on the Soul Control Continent, but none proved effective.

After gradually learning more about the Soul Control Continent, he attributed the reason to its cultivation system and attempted to awaken his own Life Soul.

However, things did not go as he wished!

None of the Yang Clan members who had fled to the Soul Control Continent could awaken their Life Souls.

Many years later, Yang San accidentally discovered that the Soul Devouring Method, which he had obtained by chance while training in the Upper Realm, was beneficial both for repairing his origin and increasing his cultivation.

Afterward, he struggled deeply, but helplessly chose to lead his clansmen in cultivating the Soul Devouring Path in order to return to the Upper Realm and avenge his family.

That very day, the entire Nether Race unfortunately became their first test subjects!

The entire race was devoured. Afterward, the continent's guardians launched a crusade against them, calling them Otherworld Horrors.

In the end, Yang San led his clansmen into hiding in Subduing Dragon Village.

"Flower, what are you looking at?"

"Eh, Father, you seem to have become younger!"

Mu Dan stared intently at her husband.

Yang San smiled faintly!

"Perhaps after advancing to the Ancestor God Realm, I've begun returning to my true nature."

"Hehehehe!" Mu Dan covered her mouth and laughed.

"Well? Are you satisfied?"

Mu Dan's face gradually reddened as she nodded.

Cough, cough!

At that moment, Ming Di, the former Nether Race Clan Leader and current Xuan Clan Great Elder, arrived outside the door to offer his congratulations upon Yang San's breakthrough.

"I say, Brother Yang, you've really made this old man swallow a mouthful of dog food."

Yang San glanced at Ming Di, then nodded to Mu Dan. Blushing, Mu Dan lowered her head and left the courtyard.

"Hahaha! Senior, you jest."

"May I ask if Senior has any important business here?"

"Oh, this old man merely sensed that Brother Yang had broken through and came to congratulate you. There is nothing else."

Ming Di looked at Yang San with envy and anticipation written all over his face.

He envied Yang San for reaching the peak realm of this world at such a young age.

What he anticipated was that he had come this time to seek Yang San's guidance and break through to the next realm.

Over the past three years, Ming Di's cultivation had also surged greatly. He had now successfully entered the initial stage of the Spirit Refining Realm.

The Xuan Clan truly had members as outstanding as dragons. For others, reaching the Divine Emperor Realm would take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Yet Ming Di had only descended into the Profound Sky World four years ago.

In just four years, he had broken through several major realms in succession, rising from the Void God Realm into the Spirit Refining Realm.

It was not just Ming Di. The other Elders had also improved considerably.

The Xuan Clan's strength had truly soared!

Although they still could not compare to the former Yang Clan, at this rate of advancement, they would surely catch up within a few years.

Coming back to himself.

Yang San shook his head and smiled.

"I presume Senior came this time to seek guidance?"

"You understand me best, Brother!"

"Here! Take this cultivation technique."

Yang San pulled out a cultivation manual and handed it to Ming Di.

"This is the Proud Nine Secrets, once only cultivable by the direct descendants of the Yang Clan. It has nine levels in total, and once cultivated to perfection, it can break through to the Ancestor God Peak."

Now that they were all members of the Xuan Clan and the former Yang Clan no longer existed, whether one was a direct descendant or not no longer mattered. It would be better to share it and increase the strength of the clan.

Ming Di was overjoyed!

After thanking Yang San, he eagerly returned to seclusion to cultivate. This time, he vowed not to leave seclusion until he broke through to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Yang San smiled helplessly. He then took out several more cultivation manuals that had once belonged to the Yang Clan and left the courtyard, heading toward the residences of the Elders.

"Xiao Clan, the Yang Clan's things are not so easily taken. I, Yang San, have returned."

Several months later.

Yang Yu, who had been training outside, returned to the Xuan Clan with Ming Wu and Soul Eater.

When they arrived at the clan's main hall, Yang San and The Elders were currently discussing matters.

"Clan Leader! This old man believes it is time for us to leave this Barren Land."

"Yes!"

"Although the clan's overall strength still falls short of the strongest families, we are more than capable of moving about freely in this world."

"We agree as well!"

Yang San thought for a moment, but shook his head.

His reasoning was simple: caution.

They would wait until the clan's strength was comparable to, or even exceeded, that of the strongest families before leaving the Barren Land and pointing their swords at the world.

"Father!"

At that moment, Yang Yu, who had just reached the entrance and overheard the conversation, directly walked in with Ming Wu and Soul Eater.

"You're back!"

Yang Yu nodded.

"Father, your son believes there is no problem with the Xuan Clan leaving the Barren Land now. We might even become the rulers of the Profound Sky World!"

Yang Yu looked confidently at his father and gave a mysterious smile.

Yang San froze!

Then he stared hard at Yang Yu.

"Rule this world?"

"Yes, we can rule it." Yang Yu nodded decisively.

"Soul Eater!"

Seeing his stunned father and The Elders, Yang Yu no longer wasted words. He directly called Soul Eater over, preparing to introduce him to everyone.

Soul Eater bowed and knelt before Yang Yu.

"Master!"

"Rise."

"Yes!"

"Introduce yourself to everyone."

Soul Eater erupted with the aura of the Great Emperor Realm. Yang San and the surrounding Elders instantly felt the pressure intensify, as though some great terror had descended, leaving them utterly shocked!

A moment later, the aura vanished.

"I am Soul Eater, an initial-stage Great Emperor Realm cultivator. One of this world's strongest Great Emperors from a hundred thousand years ago, known as the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor!"

"The Soul Devouring Demon Emperor?"

Yang San muttered as he thought carefully. He vaguely remembered hearing that title somewhere before.

Suddenly!

He shot to his feet, his eyes wide open!

"You... you, you... you're that great demon?"

When Yang San was very young, he had heard his great-grandfather say that this world suppressed a great demon.

Tens of thousands of years ago, there had been four Great Emperors in the Profound Sky World.

They were Floating Life, Nether Soul, Nine-Tailed, and Soul Eater.

Among them, Soul Eater had been a bloodthirsty great demon who cultivated demonic arts. Wherever he went, living beings suffered devastation, corpses covered the ground, and cries of misery filled the air!

Ten thousand years ago, the Floating Life Great Emperor joined forces with the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor to attack the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor narrowly lost and was sealed within a secret realm.

Afterward, the three Great Emperors—Floating Life, Nether Soul, and Nine-Tailed—seemed to vanish suddenly and gradually faded from view. From then on, no one in the Profound Sky World ever broke through to that realm again.

"Father, don't get so excited! He is now under your son's command."

Yang San was stunned once more!

"This?"

"Yu'er, how could someone in the Great Emperor Realm submit to you?"

Yang Yu no longer concealed himself! He had never truly hidden anything; those whose cultivation was lower than his simply could not see through him.

"Because I am also a Great Emperor!"

An aura even more powerful than Soul Eater's erupted.

Everyone was shocked once again!

After being shocked three times in a row, everyone had gone numb. It all felt like a dream.

After they recovered.

"Good! Excellent! Hahahaha..."

Yang San laughed wildly, as though possessed.

In the following discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that the Xuan Clan would leave the Barren Land in three years and point their swords at the Xiao Clan.

Considering that several Elders were still in seclusion.

And that Yang Yu had brought back numerous precious herbs and treasures from his exploration of the secret realm.

He contributed them all. After the precious herbs and treasures were distributed, the clansmen began entering seclusion to meditate and cultivate.

Refining the precious herbs and treasures would take time, and these three years should be enough.

Presumably, the Xuan Clan's strength would surge once more three years later.

Ming Wu temporarily parted from Yang Yu to enter seclusion and digest the gains she had obtained from the secret realm.

As for Soul Eater, he was arranged in a quiet place to regulate his breathing and recuperate.

Yang Yu looked at the peaceful Xuan Clan, nodded, and vanished in a flash, returning to his bed. He too sat cross-legged and began consolidating his cultivation.

Xiao Clan.

At that moment, inside the main hall, an Elder of the Murong Family had brought Murong Xue to break off the engagement.

"Murong Xue greets Grandfather Xiao!"

"Greetings, Clan Leader Xiao!"

Xiao Hao nodded.

"Sit!"

Murong Xue and the Murong Family Elder slowly walked to one side and took their seats.

"Girl Xue, what brings you here this time?"

Xiao Hao knowingly asked.

The Murong Family Elder then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Hao.

Xiao Hao accepted the letter, tore it open, and began reading its contents.

He already knew the general contents. He was merely putting on a show to preserve the Xiao Clan's dignity.

"Oh? Girl Xue, you wish to break off the engagement?"

Xiao Hao stood up.

Murong Xue rose and bowed deeply!

"Grandfather Xiao, you know Xiao Yan's situation. For the sake of my family, please forgive me, but I can only break off the engagement!"

Xiao Hao let out a sigh!

At that moment, Xiao Yan's voice came from outside.

"Murong Xue, I agree!"

"But..."

Murong Xue looked at Xiao Yan before her, thin as a stick and stripped of all cultivation. She was disappointed, but upon hearing that he agreed, she relaxed.

"But what?"

Xiao Yan continued proudly:

"But I can only be the one to cast you aside."

Xiao Yan then took out a letter of divorce and threw it at Murong Xue.

Murong Xue's brows furrowed slightly, then she flew into a rage!

"You..."

"I, Xiao Yan, hereby repudiate you, Murong Xue. This letter shall serve as proof. From this day forward, you are free, and we shall no longer interfere in each other's affairs!"

"You... How dare you do this? How am I supposed to face anyone after this? How cruel you are."

"Hmph!"

After handing over the letter of repudiation, Xiao Yan ignored Murong Xue. Once he had finished paying respects to his grandfather, he rose and left.

Murong Xue was so furious that she stomped her feet. She felt terribly wronged and wanted to cry!

She tore the letter of repudiation to pieces!

Then she angrily bid farewell to Xiao Hao and returned to the Murong Family.

Xiao Hao shook his head and let out another sigh.

For the sake of his grandson Xiao Yan, he had truly worried himself sick.

Inside Xiao Yan's room.

Suddenly, a green beam of light shot out from Xiao Yan's body. It then transformed into a middle-aged man in green robes, appearing before him.

Xiao Yan watched the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared before him with great caution.

"Y-You... who are you?"

The middle-aged man in green robes smiled at Xiao Yan and replied:

"Young one, do not be afraid! This Seat is Yang Mei. I have been nurturing myself within your body for a long time. Now that I have recovered somewhat, I have awakened to meet you."

"Yang Mei?"

Xiao Yan looked at Yang Mei with a puzzled expression.

Yang Mei froze!

"May I ask, is this the Primordial World?"

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Reporting to Senior, this is the Profound Sky World!"

Yang Mei's brows furrowed slightly.

"What place is this Profound Sky World? Where exactly has This Seat's origin come to?"

Thinking of the Final War of Dao and Demon, Yang Mei had sensed that something was amiss, so he split off a trace of his origin and fled far away.

Along the way, Chi Yu intercepted it and casually tossed it into this inner world.

Since the origin had not yet developed sentience, it drifted about endlessly. Then one day, a divine light pulled it into the Profound Sky World, and it descended into Xiao Yan's room.

By a twist of fate, it entered Xiao Yan's body.

A month later, the origin developed sentience. Desperately needing nourishment, it began wildly absorbing Xiao Yan's cultivation and origin blood essence as sustenance.

That was why Xiao Yan had remained unconscious, suffered a severe drop in cultivation, and become skin and bones.

Yang Mei also explained everything directly to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was enraged!

"Wait, little brother!"

"This Seat will compensate you. After all, This Seat was once a mighty expert at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Peak."

"How about this? Take me as your master, and I will teach you profound Dao arts, help you restore your origin blood essence, and allow you to walk the path of cultivation once more. What do you say?"

After much persuasion, Xiao Yan gradually calmed down. After thinking it over carefully, he ultimately took Yang Mei as his master.

"Master, how should I repair my origin?"

"No rush. This Seat will first cleanse your meridians and marrow!"

Xiao Yan nodded.

~

More than half a month quickly passed, and Xiao Yan stepped onto the path of cultivation once more.

He had now reached the middle stage of the Void God Realm.

He was so excited that he nearly rushed out at once to tell his grandfather.

But in the end, he stopped himself. This matter was far too strange and difficult to explain.

"I'll tell him once I become stronger."

Xiao Yan shook his head as he looked out the window.

Suddenly! Yang Mei's voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Boy, get ready. Tonight, This Seat will help you begin repairing your origin."

"Yes, Master!"
