448: The seventh level of the Void Realm

Xuanbing Peak.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help." Yang Lingchen bowed politely.

"There is no need to be so polite with me. You are a Genius Disciple of my Xuanbing Peak; how could I let others bully you at will?" Wang Xiaotian laughed.

"Senior, you flatter me," Yang Lingchen said modestly.

"You brat really surprised me! It was I who personally approved your entry into the Outer Sect. I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would have already broken through to the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm." A trace of admiration appeared in Wang Xiaotian's eyes.

"It is all thanks to Senior's cultivation," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Stinky brat, stop flattering me. I have never cultivated you."

Wang Xiaotian laughed heartily and said, "Your Combat Power is too terrifying, isn't it? You were actually able to fight Black Cloud to a draw, and you even disabled one of his wrists."

"Disciple only succeeded because of a sneak attack; otherwise, I would be no match for him." Yang Lingchen smiled awkwardly. Normally, he really couldn't beat Black Cloud. The only reason he could fight Black Cloud to a draw was mainly because Black Cloud had been too careless, allowing him to sever his wrist with the dragon que sword.

"Sneak attacks also require strength. If you didn't have sufficient strength, how could you have possibly ambushed Black Cloud, who is at the Third Level of the Celestial Net Realm?"

Wang Xiaotian paused and then continued, "However, during this time, it is best if you don't leave Xuanbing Peak casually, because quite a few people have already set their sights on you."

"Disciple understands." Yang Lingchen nodded. Recently, he had indeed offended quite a few people. Besides Xu Shaotang, there was also Tan Shaodu; both of these guys were eyeing him covetously.

"Go back! If anything happens, you can use Sound Transmission to reach me." After Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, he gave his sound transmission jade to Yang Lingchen.

"All right! Thank you, Senior."

Yang Lingchen bowed and then walked toward his residence.

Next, he planned to devote himself wholeheartedly to Cultivation.

Now that he had enough resources, he only needed to focus on Cultivation. As for Xu Shaotang and Tan Shaodu, Yang Lingchen planned to wait until he broke through to the Heavenly Net Realm before taking revenge.

...

Hantian Peak.

"Trash, you can't even handle a brat at the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm." Xu Shaotang's face was extremely gloomy and ugly.

"Senior Brother Xu, that brat is truly too bizarre. His Combat Power simply cannot be judged by common sense!" Black Cloud explained.

In fact, he was also very annoyed. Originally, he thought that with him taking action to handle an Outer Sect Disciple, it should have been an easy matter. But the outcome was something he couldn't accept; not only did he fail to take down the opponent, but he was also the one who had a wrist severed by him.

"Is this brat really that bizarre?" Xu Shaotang's expression became extremely grave. Although he blamed Black Cloud a little, he was very clear about Black Cloud's strength.

"Senior Brother Xu, we must not be careless in dealing with this Yang Lingchen. His talent is truly too frightening." Fear showed on Black Cloud's face. In all these years, he had never seen anyone with such terrifying Cross-Rank Challenge ability.

"No matter how frightening his talent is, if he dares to snatch a woman from This Young Master, he must pay the price with his life." Cold murderous intent gleamed in Xu Shaotang's eyes.

...

Wentian Palace, a mountain peak with a beautiful environment and abundant Spiritual Qi.

Gao Huoyang was playing chess with an old man whose hair and beard were all white.

And this white-haired, white-bearded old man was none other than the Grand Elder of Wentian Palace, Chen Daotian.

"Little Huo! Your chess skills have regressed a bit!" Chen Daotian said.

"Revered Master, Disciple has been busy discovering new Disciples at the Mission Hall all these years! That is why my chess skills have become rusty!" Gao Huoyang looked extremely respectful.

"Is that Yang Lingchen's talent really as good as you say?" Chen Daotian made another move on the chessboard.

"Revered Master, I have already investigated that brat's identity clearly. Half a year ago, he was still a Utility Disciple, and now his cultivation level has already reached the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm. The most important point is that his combat talent is simply terrifyingly frightening."

Gao Huoyang then recounted Yang Lingchen's affairs one by one.

"You mean to say that with a cultivation level at the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm, he defeated Black Cloud, who is at the Third Level of the Celestial Net Realm?" Chen Daotian gently placed the chess piece in his hand onto the board and barked, "Stinky brat, you aren't trying to fool your Revered Master, are you?"

"Revered Master, how would Disciple dare to fool you!"

Gao Huoyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "That brat is simply a freak. When he was still a Utility Disciple, he already beat Outer Sect Disciples until they had no power to parry. Performing a Cross-Rank Challenge across several Realms is as simple as drinking water for him!"

"Hearing you say that, this Revered Master really wants to meet him." Chen Daotian stroked his beard and said.

"Revered Master, then should Disciple summon him over?" Gao Huoyang asked.

"There is no need for now." Chen Daotian pondered and said, "Pay more attention to him usually. Do not interfere with the scheming between Disciples, but if someone bullies the weak with their seniority, you must protect him; otherwise, he might not feel any sense of belonging to the Sect."

"Revered Master, rest assured. With this Little Fellow's talent being so good, how could Disciple let anything happen to him?" Gao Huoyang nodded.

He was quite concerned about Yang Lingchen.

...

In the following days, Yang Lingchen spent his time in Cultivation.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and another four months went by.

Under Yang Lingchen's unremitting efforts, his cultivation level climbed step by step, successfully breaking through from the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm to the Seventh Layer of the Void Spirit Realm.

In addition, during these four months, Yang Lingchen's Martial Skills and Cultivation Technique were also further improved by him.

Especially the God Slaying Sword Art and the Phantom Movement Technique, which he optimized to a higher level, adding more of his own personal elements.

Now, he had created the Instant Step for the Phantom Movement Technique, which allowed for short-distance instantaneous movement in battle. This improved his Combat Power by more than just one grade.

As for creating Pill Formulas, Yang Lingchen had not had extra time to research it.

However, Yang Lingchen was quite confident in his Alchemy talent. If given enough time to research, it was not impossible to create more Advanced Pill Formulas.

After breaking through to the Seventh Layer of the Void Spirit Realm, Yang Lingchen walked out of the haotian jade space.

Now, he had been in the Realm of the Gods for one year, and he was very satisfied with his growth over this year.

However, what Yang Lingchen was most concerned about was still his woman and children.

Although he had come to the Realm of the Gods, he had never let go of his family in his heart. He believed that as long as he kept working hard at Cultivation, one day he would be reunited with his family.

"Boss, you've come out of seclusion?"

Yang Lingchen had just walked out of his residence when he heard a familiar voice.

"Bald Strong? You also became an Outer Sect Disciple?" Yang Lingchen said.

"Yes! My residence happens to be right next to yours." Bald Strong said with a smile.

"That's great! Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat." Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

After all, Bald Strong had been his little brother for three months, and now that they were in the Outer Sect, he naturally had to look out for him.

"How could I let you do that?" Bald Strong rubbed his bald head, looking embarrassed.

"What is there to be embarrassed about? Let's go! The Yao Beast meat and medicinal cuisine at the Medicinal Cuisine Hall are quite good, and I haven't tasted them in a long time either."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he pulled Bald Strong and walked toward the Medicinal Cuisine Hall.

The last time he went to the Medicinal Cuisine Hall was with Nan Yuxiang. Now, after Cultivating for several months, it was time to go out and treat himself.

"Yang Lingchen, where are you going?"

Just as Yang Lingchen and Bald Strong walked to the bottom of Xuanbing Peak, they ran into Li Hanyan walking toward them.

"Senior Sister Li." Seeing Li Hanyan, Bald Strong quickly bowed respectfully.

"Sister Hanyan, Bald Strong and I are planning to go to the Medicinal Cuisine Hall to eat something. Would you like to come along?" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Sure! But you have to treat!" Li Hanyan said playfully.

"No problem, Sister Hanyan, order whatever you want." Yang Lingchen smiled.
