CHAPTER 524: CHAPTER 16: SKY-SHATTERING ADVANCEMENT

Yuan Bupo is now the most likely successor to the position of City Lord of Emperor Hong City.

Seeing Yuan Bupo so dispirited, as his elder sister, she also feels frustrated that he is not living up to expectations.

After being beaten, Father Yuan also berated him fiercely: "With the way you are, even if the Yun girl manages to leave Xianju alive, she would never take a liking to you."

After being scolded, Yuan Bupo actually came to a realization.

"Bupo began his seclusion two years ago and has yet to emerge," Yuan Shahu also liked Yun Sheng very much. She hoped Yun Sheng could become her sister-in-law but had to admit that the current Yun Sheng was out of her foolish brother’s league.

As for Xuan Meimei, she had healed her face after obtaining the Life Water.

The experience in Xianju Country made her realize that there are always stronger people out there, and in the past two years, she hasn’t caused any trouble and has been diligently cultivating in Emperor Hong City.

"Since it is so, I can rest assured. In a few days, the new round of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp assessments at the Great Zhou Royal Magic Academy will begin, and I should start preparing," Yun Sheng smiled. She didn’t take the hints in Yuan Shahu’s words too seriously.

After her father told her about the blood of the Eight Desolate Divine Beasts she carried, she understood that this Divine Beast bloodline brought her endless opportunities but also significant challenges.

She wished to find her mother and even the reason behind her mother’s amnesia, and to do so, she must constantly improve her own strength.

Whether it’s her strength as a Summoner or as a Mage.

While Yun Sheng calmly waited for the arrival of the assessment day of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, an unexpected event disrupted the tranquility of the Yun Residence, even of Yujing City and the entire continent.

Yun Bahe began his seclusion after obtaining the Life Spring, using it to purify the poison of the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid from his body.

However, this process was much longer and more arduous compared to Yun Canghai’s recovery and Yuan Shahu’s journey.

One night, just as Yun Sheng had laid down, she was still living in the Medicine Hall of Wuxuan Wuji Hall.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng opened her eyes.

She felt a strong fluctuation forming.

This fluctuation was felt by everyone in Yujing City.

"That is!" Yun Sheng left the Medicine Hall and leaped onto the roof, looking into the distance at the direction where the strong fluctuation originated.

To her surprise, that fluctuation was coming from the direction of the Yun Residence.

"Someone is about to make a breakthrough, this feeling, could it be..." Yun Sheng murmured to herself.

Yun Bahe started his seclusion.

This time, his seclusion was fraught with extreme peril.

Over the past three years, Yun Bahe suffered from the humiliation of having fallen from a status of a Martial Saint to a cripple, enduring insults from the court officials, including Elder Chen, who visited under the pretense of inquiring about his health.

On the other hand, he was also worried about his granddaughter Yun Sheng, whose whereabouts were unknown in Xianju Country.

Fortunately, after Yun Canglang married again, he learned that Yun Cangxue had remarried and his grandson Tang Yu had become more sensible, which finally gave him some relief.

It wasn’t until Yun Sheng returned to the Yun Residence, bringing back the Life Spring, that his eldest son Yun Canghai awoke from his years-long coma, and at that moment, Yun Bahe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding back his tears, he came out of Yun Canghai’s courtyard with red eyes. Once he returned to his own courtyard, he couldn’t help crying loudly at his late wife’s memorial tablet.

The Old General cried and sniffled, "My dear, the children are all back. I will seclude myself tomorrow. If the seclusion fails, I’ll come find you directly."

Yun Bahe was a man of strong temperament. Over these past three years, while he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually harboring deep frustration inside.

As a Martial Saint, if the Life Spring failed to detoxify him this time, he would be utterly ruined. He would rather join his spouse in death directly.

Harboring such thoughts, Yun Bahe began his closed-door cultivation.

He moved Lady Yun’s ranking to the side and drank the bottle of Life Spring in one gulp.

The Life Spring is the purest water amongst the Elf Clan, a magical Water Element born from the Immortal Holy Grail, possessing incredibly strong purification and healing effects.

Yuan Shahu and Yun Canghai’s injuries were healed with Life Spring.

As Yun Bahe gulped down the Life Spring, he felt somewhat uneasy, smacking his lips, "Eh, why doesn’t it taste like anything? It couldn’t be a fake, could it?"

As if protesting Yun Bahe’s mutterings, he felt a cold sensation in his lower abdomen that shot upwards.

That feeling was like someone had cast Ice Magic on his body, stiffening him from the soles of his feet to his shoulders, and then up to his head.

At the same time, the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid that permeated Yun Bahe’s spine and blood also felt the intrusion of the Life Spring.

The Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid and the Life Spring were both peculiar waters of heaven and earth.

The Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid is the filthy water left behind before the birth of a powerful Demon Beast, while the Life Spring is the water of purification.

These two kinds of water, one evil and one purifying, were like light and darkness, clashing against each other like fire and water, each trying to engulf the other.

Yun Bahe felt as if there were a hand inside his body, desperately tearing at him, threatening to rip him into two halves at any moment.

It was also due to this incessant deadlock of forces that Yun Bahe’s old and decaying body surged with a new type of energy.

This energy was terrifying, like a raging ocean, wave after wave incessantly.

It violently battered Yun Bahe’s withered and dying meridians, greedy and ferocious.

Time passed, unknown how much.

A colossal force burst forth from within Yun Bahe, like a dormant volcano that had accumulated for countless years, suddenly erupting.

Yun Bahe’s body shuddered.

A massive beam of light broke through the entire courtyard and shot into the sky.

In an instant, the night sky over Yujing City lit up as bright as day.

Clouds of leaden grey converged towards Yujing Yun Mansion, reminiscent of the restless air before a summer thunderstorm.

Within the grey clouds, streaks of serpentine light danced, continuously flickering, harboring terrifying power.

Inside Yun Mansion, those who were awaiting the results of Yun Bahe’s cultivation were unable to contain themselves and stood up in unison.

Both Yun Canghai and Yun Canglang looked up at the sky, noting this highly unusual scene.

"What is that? Not good, could it be that the power of the Life Spring and the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid was too intense, unexpectedly enabling the Old General to make a breakthrough! But this breakthrough is no small matter," Yun Sheng recalled the situation she had once encountered when picking the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng as she observed the scene.

The situation was nearly identical to when a Holy Herb evolved into a Divine-grade medicinal herb.

Heavenly Thunder! Could it be that after decades of silence, Yun Bahe’s bottleneck as a Martial Saint had finally loosened, reaching the stage of a breakthrough, and he has prematurely welcomed his own Heavenly Thunder Body Refining.
