Breaking into the Heavenly Origin Stage, Plotting Against the Lei Family

"Mm, I'll give it a try!"

Lin Dong spread the Stone Talisman across his palm and aimed it at the violent Yanggang Qi in the air.

Although these gases contained dense Yanggang Qi, this place had been formed by a volcano. The magma and rock walls, along with the violent fire element, had made the Yanggang Qi equally ferocious in nature, making it impossible to absorb directly.

Clusters of crimson gas were drawn into the Stone Talisman. Before long, they reappeared in Lin Dong's palm.

The gas had now become much purer in color.

"Roar, roar!"

Bai Yun gave a low growl. She liked this cluster of gas very much.

Wu Yun swept the purified Yanggang Qi from Lin Dong's hand and sensed the energy within it.

"It's even purer and denser than the Yanggang Qi in a Yang Yuan Pill. It's at least fourth-grade." Wu Yun judged.

"Come, Bai Yun!"

Wu Yun fed the gas to Bai Yun.

"With Yanggang Qi like this, it should be enough for me to break into the Heavenly Origin Stage. Second Brother, quickly make some more."

Wu Yun urged him.

Then he sat down on the spot and began circulating the Heavenly Mystery Skill.

He had long felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, but he had been just one step short.

Now, with Yanggang Qi above the fourth grade, it was enough to help him break through.

The reason he did not use the Solar Profound Gang Qi he had just obtained from signing in was that Wu Yun feared he would not be able to withstand it.

Back when he had been at the Middle Earth Yuan Stage, even absorbing the Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi had been somewhat strenuous.

Once he entered the Heavenly Origin Stage and had accumulated a certain amount of Yanggang Qi in his dantian, using the Solar Profound Gang Qi would be much easier.

Like a waiter, Lin Dong continuously produced pure Yanggang Qi at the side and fed it to Wu Yun.

After feeding him dozens of clusters of Yanggang Qi in succession, Wu Yun finally showed a powerful reaction.

A Primal Force Vortex formed, and strands of Yanggang Qi appeared amid the Yin Sha Yuan Power.

"The Heavenly Origin Stage... achieved!"

Wu Yun slowly opened his eyes, which gleamed with unusual light.

He felt the changes in his body. His Primal Force had become far more abundant and even more condensed!

Lin Dong said, "Congratulations, Big Brother. You're probably the youngest Heavenly Origin Stage expert in all of Qingyang Town."

Sensing the change in Wu Yun's aura, Bai Yun kept rubbing her large head against Wu Yun's chest. She was happy for him as well.

"Let's go. We'll head out and tell Foster Father and the others about this place."

After leaving the Lava Cave, the system notification finally arrived.

Ding! Signing-in location refreshed. Please sign in at the Elixir Immortal Pool!

The Elixir Immortal Pool!

The system was making him follow the plot.

Ironwood Manor had now become the headquarters of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family.

The important figures of both factions lived here.

Before long, Wu Yun and Lin Dong brought Luo Cheng, Lin Zhentian, and the others to the Underground Lava Cave.

However, they did not tell them that Wu Yun had broken into the Heavenly Origin Stage.

Wu Yun planned to hide his strength and ambush the Lei Family! Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian were both at the peak of the Heavenly Origin Stage and needed special Yanggang Qi to break into the Core Formation Stage.

To reach the Core Formation Stage, one had to maintain a balance between the Yin Yang Qi within the body. Only then could they fuse further, achieve true harmony between yin and yang, and condense a core.

"The Yanggang Qi here is very dense, but unfortunately, it's too violent to absorb directly." Lin Zhentian sighed.

"Grandfather, what about this?"

Lin Dong used the Stone Talisman to purify a cluster of Yanggang Qi and showed it to Lin Zhentian.

"Huh? Dong'er, how did you do that?"

"Um, I just absorbed the Yanggang Qi here into my body and circulated it once. Then those violent particles automatically dispersed..." Naturally, Lin Dong would not reveal the Stone Talisman's secret. He blinked innocently as he spoke.

This had been the result of their discussion earlier. It was so Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng could use this Yanggang Qi and break into the Core Formation Stage sooner.

"I've heard my teacher mention that some people with special constitutions can expel things harmful to the human body. Lin Dong is probably one of them." Wu Yun chimed in.

Lin Zhentian and the others no longer doubted him. He did not think too deeply about it, never imagining that his own grandson could be so shrewd.

He immediately began cultivating with the Yanggang Qi purified by Lin Dong.

Luo Tong found Wu Yun. "Junior Brother, I've got something good!"

He took a chunk of black metal about half the size of a head from his robe.

"What is this?"

Luo Tong said, "This is Shattered Yuan Profound Steel, plundered from the Black Dragon Stockade's treasure vault. It has an extremely good effect on breaking through Primal Force. If a little of this Shattered Yuan Profound Steel is mixed into a weapon, even ordinary Heavenly Origin Stage experts would not dare take a direct hit. Otherwise, they'd probably be left with nothing but a bloody hole. Most importantly, this Shattered Yuan Profound Steel has excellent capacity for carrying and channeling mental power. It can be forged into mental power weapons."

"Oh, then it really is a treasure!"

Wu Yun took it in delight.

In the original story, this piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel had fallen into Lin Dong's hands and been forged into ten Shattered Yuan Shuttles, his first mental power weapons. He had relied on the Shattered Yuan Shuttles to get through the early stages.

I have a powerful Talisman Treasure like the Thunder Flame Sword, so the Shattered Yuan Shuttles are neither here nor there for me. I can give them to Second Brother, but turning all of this directly into Shattered Yuan Shuttles would be a waste of materials. I can ask Teacher to make them into Talisman Treasures!

Wu Yun immediately had an idea. He actually liked Lin Dong, this little brother of his, both before and after transmigrating.

Ever since they had met, he had kept treating Lin Dong as a tool, and he felt somewhat guilty about it.

This was the perfect chance to give him a gift and make up for it.

Moreover, Wu Yun had realized that his Signing-in System needed Lin Dong, this Child of Destiny, to trigger. He would not be able to do without Lin Dong in the future, so it would be more beneficial for him if Lin Dong's strength could keep pace with his own.

It was rather funny. When Wu Yun had first transmigrated here, he had planned to cling to Lin Dong's thigh. Now, without realizing it, he had instead become Lin Dong's thigh.

"Foster Father, let Senior Brother Luo Tong and me lead the team for this trip to Flame City." When it was time to deliver goods again, Wu Yun made the suggestion.

"No. Tong'er is the only Heavenly Origin Stage expert. It's too dangerous." Luo Cheng immediately rejected it.

Wu Yun could only lean close to Luo Cheng's ear and whisper a few words to him.

After that, Luo Cheng agreed to let the two of them lead the team.

The Lei Family!

"Patriarch, the opportunity has come!"

"The Mad Blade Martial Arts School's team heading to Flame City this time is led by Luo Tong. He's the only Heavenly Origin Stage expert, and Wu Yun is among them!"

"One Middle Heavenly Origin Stage expert. Wu Yun was able to kill Wu Sha, so he's barely comparable to an Early Heavenly Origin Stage expert. Hehe, good. Notify Xie Qian at once and have him send Xie Yu over.

"Then tell Lei Pi and Lei Xing to come see me immediately!"

Very soon, the Lei Family's three Heavenly Origin Stage experts quietly set off with a group of men, racing toward Flame City.

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School!

"Martial Hall Master, the Lei Family really did send out three Heavenly Origin Stage experts. They're all at the Middle Heavenly Origin Stage, along with more than a dozen Earth Yuan Stage experts."

"Martial Hall Master, should we follow them?"

"No need. As long as Lei Bao and Xie Qian don't move, there won't be a problem." Luo Cheng's lips curled in disdain.

He recalled what Wu Yun had told him earlier.

"Bai Yun and I have both broken into the Heavenly Origin Stage. One man and one tiger—even against a Late Heavenly Origin Stage expert, we'll have no problem."
