Xiao Ming is actually in the Yuan Gang realm

Whoosh!

A sound of surging tides suddenly echoed within Xiao Ming’s body.

This was not an illusion, but a real occurrence!

His thoughts sank, and he saw that the True Qi vortex in his Dantian was rapidly compressing, forming drops of True Essence liquid that fell into his Dantian.

The whooshing sound of water just now was caused by the trembling of these liquids.

And each drop of True Essence liquid contained extremely rich energy; if even one drop of True Essence liquid were injected into the body of an ordinary mortal, it would instantly cause the mortal to explode!

Drip, drop... Drops of True Essence liquid quickly formed. Five drops... ten drops... fifteen drops... As time passed,

Xiao Ming’s True Qi vortex in his Dantian grew smaller and smaller, while the True Essence liquid became more and more numerous!

Soon, it reached thirty drops.

“Generally, after forming thirty drops of True Essence liquid, one can successfully advance to the Yuangang Realm. If fifty drops are formed, then one is a one-in-a-hundred expert. Eighty drops means a genius among experts,” Xiao Ming murmured, thinking to himself,

“I cultivate a Heaven-tier cultivation technique, so I don’t know how many drops I can form, but it will definitely be more than thirty!”

Indeed.

Xiao Ming’s True Essence liquid continued to form.

Forty drops!

Sixty drops!

Eighty drops... ninety drops... one hundred drops!

After the hundredth drop of liquid formed, the True Qi vortex completely disappeared. In its place, a small, fist-sized puddle appeared in Xiao Ming’s Dantian.

It was filled with exactly one hundred drops of True Essence liquid!

At the same time the True Essence puddle formed, a majestic aura suddenly surged out from Xiao Ming’s body!

The aura was vast and powerful, directly transforming into a howling gale that rustled fiercely in the void above Xiao Ming’s head.

Xiao Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

Two golden sword Qis shot out from his eyes, hissing and lingering for a long while before slowly dissipating.

“Successful advancement!”

Feeling the terrifying power contained within his body, Xiao Ming was extremely satisfied.

He then opened his Life Script attribute panel, and his information updated in real-time, becoming this:

“I am now a true Yuangang Realm expert. Although I am currently only in the Early Stage of the Yuangang Realm, the number of True Essence liquids far exceeds those of the same Cultivation Level, reaching a hundred drops!”

“Such abundant True Essence, I’m afraid even ordinary Yuangang Realm Mid Stage experts can’t compare to me!”

Xiao Ming stood up.

He looked up at the sky.

Compared to the Xiantian Realm, a Yuangang Realm expert’s all-around attributes have been greatly improved, such as strength, speed, and physical durability.

But the most obvious characteristic is that a Yuangang Realm expert can fly in the air!

This is the biggest distinguishing mark from the Xiantian Realm!

Looking at the azure sky and the white clouds above, Xiao Ming was eager to try.

Turning to look at the Little Fox Girl Hu Yunxi, Xiao Ming smiled, “Yunxi, do you want to fly?”

“Ah?”

Hu Yunxi opened her cute little mouth, a bit bewildered.

With a carefree smile, Xiao Ming grabbed Hu Yunxi’s small hand, then activated the True Essence within his body and shot into the sky!

Instantly, he soared several hundred meters high.

“Ah ah ah! It’s too high, Young Master, I’m scared!” Hu Yunxi cried out in panic, covering her eyes with both hands and instinctively hiding in Xiao Ming’s embrace.

Xiao Ming laughed heartily.

His True Essence surged out, stirring the primordial energy of heaven and earth, allowing him to fly through the air like an eagle.

“Yunxi, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to see this beautiful landscape!” Xiao Ming said with high spirits, holding Hu Yunxi’s small hand as the two flew rapidly through the air.

After crying out in surprise for a moment, Hu Yunxi realized that she wasn’t falling, but instead could fly freely in the air like a large bird.

She curiously moved her hands away, and the next moment, her beautiful eyes widened.

She heard the wind whistling past her ears, and the mountains and land below were visible at a glance!

“Young Master can actually fly, and so fast...” Hu Yunxi’s eyes flickered, and she murmured, “Is this the benefit of powerful strength?”

“I really want to become strong too...”

“If I also had such formidable strength, Granny Fox wouldn’t have been killed!”

At this point, Hu Yunxi clenched her small fists.

Deep within her body, an extremely mysterious and terrifying power quietly fractured, beginning to stir.

Xiao Ming did not know Hu Yunxi’s inner thoughts.

At this moment, he was joyfully experiencing the pleasure of flying.

About an hour later.

Xiao Ming returned to the Spirit Sword Sect’s encampment with the Little Fox Girl, flying in a grand manner.

As a result, they were spotted by Li Changfeng and others who were patrolling the sect.

“That figure that just flew by, why does it look so familiar? The more I look, the more it resembles Xiao Ming,” Li Changfeng scratched his head, saying with a puzzled expression.

“Impossible!” Su Tianming said, “To be able to fly in the air, one must at least be in the Yuangang Realm. Xiao Ming only recently advanced to the Xiantian Realm, and his Early Stage Cultivation Level probably hasn’t even stabilized yet. How could he possibly have the ability to fly?”

“Did I see wrong?” Li Changfeng grew even more confused.

“Sect Master, I also think it was Xiao Ming, because the back view is just too similar,” an elder hesitated to say at this moment.

“I also feel it looked like Xiao Ming, but how could Xiao Ming fly?” another elder also chimed in.

Hearing this, Grand Elder Su Tianming chuckled disdainfully and said, “Whether it’s Xiao Ming or not, wouldn’t we know by calling him over and asking? Haha, anyway, I’m certain it’s not him!”

After a pause, Su Tianming added, “My disciple Lin Feng recently experienced a massive surge of luck and is preparing to break through to the Xiantian Realm Mid Stage. Xiao Ming is similar to Lin Feng, so it’s definitely impossible for him to advance to the Yuangang Realm in such a short time!”

“But Grand Elder, that person really looks like Xiao Ming...” an elder stammered, “What if it really is Xiao Ming?”

“If it really is Xiao Ming, I’ll go kiss a donkey’s butt!” Grand Elder Su waved his hand, saying confidently, “How could Xiao Ming advance to the Yuangang Realm in such a short time? You guys really dare to imagine!”

With that, Su Tianming even provocatively glanced at Li Changfeng next to him.

Xiao Ming was Li Changfeng’s disciple, and his contempt for Xiao Ming also stemmed from a desire to compete with Li Changfeng.

The two didn’t have any deep grudges; it was purely a matter of mutual disagreement, especially regarding their disciples, each believing their own apprentice was the most talented genius.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately couldn’t sit still.

“Someone! Go bring Xiao Ming to the Sect Great Hall; we’ll wait for him there. We’ll know Xiao Ming’s exact strength once we see him!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

On the other side.

Xiao Ming had just returned to his small courtyard residence and settled Hu Yunxi when an elder from the sect arrived.

The elder directly said, “Xiao Ming, come with me to the Sect Great Hall. The Sect Master and others have something to ask you.”

“Alright, I’ll go now. But may I ask, Elder, what does the Sect Master want with me?” Xiao Ming asked, puzzled.

“You’ll know when you get there!”

Xiao Ming had no choice but to follow the elder to the Sect Great Hall.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the Sect Great Hall.

Xiao Ming’s gaze swept around, seeing his master Li Changfeng seated on the main seat of the great hall, while Su Tianming and numerous elders occupied the rows of chairs around him.

“Disciple Xiao Ming pays respects to Master, and to Grand Elder and all the elders,” Xiao Ming cupped his hands, speaking neither obsequiously nor arrogantly.

“You may dispense with the formalities, Xiao Ming. I ask you, what Cultivation Level are you at now?” Li Changfeng asked impatiently.

He had already vaguely sensed Xiao Ming’s extraordinary nature.

“Uh...” Xiao Ming scratched his head and said, “Not long ago, this disciple went to the Tianyun Mountain Range for a sect mission. By a stroke of luck, I successfully advanced and am now in the Yuangang Realm.”

“What?!!!”

A chorus of sharp exclamations sounded simultaneously!

Li Changfeng’s eyes widened, Su Tianming was utterly astonished, and the other elders looked as if they had seen a ghost.

What did Xiao Ming just say?

He actually advanced to the Yuangang Realm?

Is it true or false?

He wouldn’t be trying to fool them, would he?

Whoosh!

A gust of wind suddenly swept by, and Li Changfeng flew up from the main seat, instantly appearing before Xiao Ming.

He extended his palm, placed it on Xiao Ming’s shoulder, and began to sense Xiao Ming’s True Essence concentration.

A moment later.

Li Changfeng once again showed a look of surprise.

“Yuangang Realm Early Stage! My good disciple has actually advanced to the Yuangang Realm!”

“And looking at the True Essence concentration within his body, he’s not just an ordinary Yuangang Realm Early Stage!”

After speaking excitedly, Li Changfeng suddenly turned his head and stared fixedly at Su Tianming, saying, “My disciple has broken through to the Yuangang Realm, Su Tianming, what more do you have to say?!”

“This... this can’t be true!”

Su Tianming was on pins and needles; he flashed and also appeared before Xiao Ming.

Then he took Xiao Ming’s arm and began to examine it.

After the examination, Su Tianming fell silent.

Xiao Ming... was indeed in the Yuangang Realm without a doubt!

He had been proven wrong!

“Hahaha! My good disciple is truly a genius, cultivating to the Yuangang Realm so quickly. This is much more impressive than the disciple someone else took in!” Li Changfeng laughed heartily, then changed his tone and continued,

“My Grand Elder Su, I remember you just said that if Xiao Ming cultivated to the Yuangang Realm, you would go kiss a donkey’s butt. It’s time to make good on that, isn’t it?”

“I, I... you!” Su Tianming stammered, his old face flushed red.

Li Changfeng, however, waved his hand grandly and said with high spirits, “Someone! Go bring an old male donkey over; this Sect Master wants to see Grand Elder Su kiss a donkey’s butt!”
