Mystical Dominator of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 47: Comment On Xu Yang, Aiming for Sea-Cloud

The promise Xu Yang mentioned was in regards to refining the Life-Extension Elixir.

Li Wang smiled and did not insist seeing Xu Yang’s refusal to accept his gift. “Tell me if you need any herbs for practicing. I can provide them to you as long as the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion has it.”

Xu Yang nodded. After saying goodbye, he brought Xu Yu and Song Tinglan back home.

“Brother, you seem to be kind of happy seeing Vast-Gate Dojo lose.” Xu Yu was an observant girl. She noticed that Xu Yang’s expression had changed, and she asked puzzlingly, “Didn’t you say that be it Vast-Gate Dojo or Fire-Cloud Dojo, they both have nothing to do with us?”

Xu Yang did not hold back the truth and said, “The fact that Vast-Gate Dojo is being driven out of Linyuan City would reduce a lot of problems for me.”

If Vast-Gate Dojo had won, their power would increase greatly and their assassination against Xu Yang would definitely intensify. They were likely to send out stronger ones in the Mystical Master stage to take action. Xu Yang was incapable of encountering a true Mystical Master even though he was powerful at that moment.

There was a huge difference between the two stages after all. It could not be treated as child’s play.

“Brother, you are so strong now. The Little Official said that you are already a Mystical Warrior, is it true?” Xu Yu could not believe it as she rocked Xu Yang’s arm back and forth, and asked.

Xu Yang did not deny it and nodded, “I entered the Python Mountains a few days ago to seek a breakthrough. Fortunately, I was lucky.”

“My brother who has worked so hard deserves to advance successfully. How can it be called luck?” Xu Yu had such a big bright smile on her face. “The Grand Family Tournament will be held in ten days or so. Brother, you are so strong now, you will surely be able to surprise those who have bullied us before.”

Xu Yang was persistent and relentless, he practiced every day without fail. Be it by taking a medicinal bath or striking the bluestone to cultivate Rock Body, he did not spend a second being idle. Xu Yu had seen all his hard work and only she knew how much effort Xu Yang had put in to become stronger.

“Mmm.” Xu Yang was a little absent-minded. The Grand Family Tournament did not mean much to him. He would not have chosen to participate in the tournament if it were not for Xu Yu.

Xu Yu was different from him. She was greatly attached to the family. This sense of belonging in the bloodline could not be wiped out easily. However, Xu Yang would definitely leave the small Lin Yuan City. There was no reason for the little girl, Xu Yu, to follow him and suffer such hardships. It would be better for her to rely on the family than to live alone in their ruined mansion.

‘I met Xu Zhengxin at the West-Warmness Pavilion today. He is the grandson of the Xu family’s manor master. It seems that he is quite different from other Xu family members who used to bully me. He even defended me.’ Xu Yang thought to himself secretly, taking a mental note of what had happened.

Xu Changling, the present head of the Xu family, had three sons. The eldest son was Xu Qinglu, the second son was Xu Qingyuan, and the third son was Xu Qinggang. Among them, the second son, Xu Qingyuan, was the most talented and outstanding child. His achievements had surpassed two of his brothers. However, this did not mean that Xu Qinglu and Xu Qinggang were ordinary people.

Xu Qinglu had a steady temperament, and he was a gentleman. Xu Qinggang was a persistent person. These two men were Xu Yang’s uncles.

Xu Zhengxin was Xu Qinglu’s eldest son.

‘Perhaps the attitude of the Xu family toward my father, Xu Qingyuan, is divided into two groups. One group consists of people such as Xu Qingliu, Xu Qinghe and others. They blame the Xu family’s decline on my father. Their children like Xu Zhengming, Xu Zhengfei and others have always bullied me and my sister. The other group would be Xu Qinglu and Xu Qinggang who are my father’s siblings. They seem to care about the relationship they have with each other, and now their son, Xu Zhengxin, is actually speaking up for me. However, I don’t know what my grandfather, Xu Changling, truly feels about me…’

Xu Yang shook his head and casted away these thoughts. In this extremely competitive world, his own strength was the most important thing! People who depended heavily on their families could never become strong.

It was true that although cultivating Mystical Qi needed certain advantages, Xu Yang would never compromise with anyone just for some advantages. He would make fair trades to obtain advantages he needed to achieve what he wanted!

Xu Yang returned home and started to make arrangements for his following plans. He suddenly realized that there was not enough time because there were too many things to do.

Xu Yang had formed the Mystical Cores and he possessed Mystical Power. He wanted to refine some Spirit Elixirs for healing, rejuvenation, and improving cultivation. He could now cultivate Mystical Techniques, and he wanted to learn some Mystical Techniques that he would be able to use as his trump card. Not only that, there were other things like creating runes and refining armors which all seemed useful.

It was all about prioritizing. Xu Yang decided to refine Spirit Elixirs and cultivate Mystical Techniques at the same time. He would only do other things such as creating runes and refining armor when he was done with the previous tasks.

At the main courtyard of the Xu family, a street away from Xu Yang’s house. Xu Zhengxin walked briskly into the manor master’s courtyard which was in the middle.

“Zhengxin.” An old voice sounded from behind the heavy curtains. “Why are you here to see me today?”

“Grandpa, I saw him today… my cousin, Xu Yang.”

“Oh…” There was a slight change in the tone of the old voice. “What’s going on? Knowing you, you won’t have come just to tell me that you have seen him, something must have happened that surprised you.”

Xu Zhengxin told him about the incident in which Xu Yang had appeared at the West-Warmness Pavilion and defeated Chu Mingde with a single attack of his palm. Finally, he said, “It is hard for me to believe that Younger Cousin Brother has advanced at such a rapid speed. His cultivation was just at the Intermediate or Advanced tier of Mystical Learner twenty days ago. He has advanced as a Mystical Warrior in only half a month.”

The old voice kept silent for a while and sounded, “Advancement after deep accumulation, breakthrough after sudden realization. Although it’s rare on the path of Mystical Cultivation, it’s still possible… Zhengxin, from what you have seen, how is Xu Yang’s power?”

“His physical strength is extremely strong.” Xu Zhengxin recalled and said. “However, his cultivation of Mystical Qi is slightly weak. Younger Cousin Brother might not have the advantage if he were to fight with Chu Mingde seriously using Mystical Techniques.”

After pausing for a while, Xu Zhengxin said, “However, this is already extremely unexpected as Xu Yang has a physique of eight extremes. It is harder for him to cultivate Mystical Qi.”

“Mmm…” The old man nodded and said, “You’re right. Yang’s perception and luck are pretty good as he is able to self-cultivate into a Mystical Warrior with mediocre qualifications. However, he has suffered a lot as our Xu family couldn’t help him in his cultivation under the invisible threat of the loathsome Mo family.”

“There is an issue that Grandpa should take note of. Ge Weifeng from the western city’s Ge family seems to be dissatisfied with Younger Cousin Brother. He even threatened him, saying that he would be merciless if he were to see Younger Cousin Brother during the admission assessment of the Sea-Cloud Academy.”

“The Ge family…” The old voice murmured. He said, “It seems that the enrolment of the Sea-Cloud Academy is just around the corner… I don’t know whether our Lin Yuan City would be able to get an extra spot. Zhengxin, your uncle Qinggang will help me to solve these problems. You don’t have to worry about all that. Go and cultivate with full spirit to improve your strength. I hope you can win the Sea-Cloud Academy Selection Conference for our Xu family’s honor.”

Xu Zhengxin nodded solemnly. “Yes, Grandpa.”
