âDamn it, a set of clothes actually costs one purple crystal, why donât you just rob me?â
Everyone present looked bewildered at the two figures enveloped by a mist of energy in mid-air. Upon hearing Yang Zhenâs words, they were immediately stunned.
Seeing Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe exchanging glances, Feng Jingtu weakly smiled and explained, âThis is really Yang Zhenâs temper⦠Grand⦠grandfather?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he spoke, Feng Jingtuâs eyes grew wider, an excited yet hesitant look spreading across his face as uncertainty crept into his voice, âGrandfather, is⦠is it you?â
A hearty laugh echoed in the air. âA single purple crystal is nothing, given Yangâs favor I ought to satisfy you,â the confident and resonant voice announced.
No answer was given to Feng Jingtuâs question. The man in the air laughed and suddenly, a staggering energy exploded from his body, scattering the surrounding clouds.
An elderly figure, full of life, stood in mid-air. His every movement was fluid and natural. If it wasnât Elder Feng, then who else could it be?
What all those present found unbelievable was that Elder Fengâs skin was no longer dry. Instead, it had a glossy, and plump appearance, resembling a newbornâs skin, which left everyone astounded.
However, it wasnât merely the skin that shocked them, but the aura of strength radiating from Elder Feng was what truly perplexed everyone.
The blend of youthful tenderness from the newbornâs skin with an overwhelming strength was an incredulous combination that was extremely astonishing to behold.
Elder Feng was also extremely thrilled. As he looked at his hands, his whole body seemed to fuse with heaven and earth, giving an impression of being one with nature. This prompted Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe to exclaim in unison â âHeavenly Realm!â
Heavenly Realm?
Upon hearing the words of Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe, everyone was completely shocked and speechless, looking at Elder Feng who seemed to have become part of the heavens.
Heavenly Realm, my gosh, itâs actually the Heavenly Realm!
Amongst all, Feng Jingtu was the most excited. Upon hearing the term âHeavenly Realm,â Feng Jingtu broke into a grin which dissolved into tears, as he abruptly knelt down and burst into loud sobs, sometimes laughing amidst his crying, his face a mess of tears and snot, making him look like an idiot.
âHeâs alright now, grandfatherâs illness is completely cured, not only is he full of vitality but his strength as well is restored. Moreover, he even leaped straight into the Heavenly Realm.â
A realm that Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe had not stepped into for so many yearsâ grandfather had broken through.
What could possibly be more exciting than this?
Feng Jingtu couldnât contemplate anything more exhilarating. Yang Zhen had actually cured his grandfather, and his strength was not only restored but was even higher. Most importantly, he had broken through to the Heavenly Realm. This was something that seemed almost impossible, yet it was achieved.
Buzzâ!
Elder Feng thrust out his hands and closed his eyes. Inhaling deeply, it seemed as though the elemental energy in the surrounding environment was drawn toward him. Under the pull of a magic force, the energy flooded towards Elder Feng, forming a halo that gently rotated around him.
âSo this is the Heavenly Realm, the so-called unity of heaven and man. The interplay of Yin and Yang, encompasses so many profound changes and interdependencies. Yang, how exactly did you do this?â
Upon hearing Elder Fengâs words, everyone held their breath and stared intently at Yang Zhen in the sky who was still checking whether the purple crystal in his hand was genuine or not.
The most exaggerated were Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe. Their ears perked up, not wanting to miss even a single breath from Yang Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen gave Elder Feng a peculiar look. This wasnât about how he managed to do it, but in fact, Elder Fengâs recovery and his fortuitous breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm were signs that his life was not yet over.
Upon understanding Elder Fengâs physical ailments, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of the Yellow Emperorâs Inner Canonâs discourse on health maintenance, a balance of Yin and Yang. This wasnât a concept that Yang Zhen had created, it was a principle already established by those great predecessors from the Blue Planet.
However, as the spiritual energy of the Blue Planet had been depleted, the Yellow Emperorâs Inner Canon was no longer capable of its inherent effects. Yang Zhen recalled hurriedly scanning through it, not even comprehending the simplest principles of it.
Witnessing Elder Fengâs current problem, Yang Zhen, almost instinctively found the solution in the Yellow Emperorâs Inner Canon, attaining it as if it was a treasure.
In healing Elder Feng this time, Yang Zhen profited more than Elder Feng did.
Damn it, with the Yin and Yang principles of the Yellow Emperorâs Inner Canon, no matter how severe the injuries Yang Zhen suffered, recovery was only a matter of time. As long as his Spirit Soul wasnât extinguished, and his body wasnât crushed into pieces, Yang Zhenâs could be said to be an undeceasing existence.
This fact had already been tested on Elder Feng.
Seeing the crowdâs curious gaze, Yang Zhen said somewhat awkwardly, âAn inspiration struck me. The âSao Saintâ had an idea and wanted to give it a try. Surprisingly, applying it for the first time proved highly effective. Elder Feng, you should try it and see if your back still hurts or if your legs are still weak, and if you feel more energetic when climbing the stairsâ¦â
Yang Zhenâs nonsensical speech left everyone in a state of confusion, clearly aware that Yang Zhen was unwilling to share the details.
In reality, by discussing the principles of Yin and Yang, Yang Zhen had already opened a door previously unseen to Meng Tinghao and the elderly man in purple, leading them into another realm: where could they dare to ask for more?
Feng Jingtu looked at Yang Zhen ardently, then at his lively and exuberant grandfather; tears streaming down his face again.
In gratitude for his resurrection, those had been his grandfatherâs words about Yang Zhen. Hence, clearly in his grandfatherâs heart, Yang Zhen was a savior. The savior of his grandfather was the preserver of the entire Feng Family, and also the benefactor of the whole Mountain and River City.
Feng Jingtu kowtowed to Yang Zhen thrice. When he raised his head, Yang Zhen had disappeared. He hastily searched only to find Yang Zhen and his grandfather standing beside him.
So the Heavenly Realmâs expert was truly extraordinary, his control of his aura was immaculate to the point where Feng Jingtu at the Mahayana Phase could not even sense it.
Feng Jingtu took a deep breath and stared at Yang Zhen intently. In his eyes, all the rumors and impressions about Yang Zhen quickly shattered into pieces.
Although Yang Zhen was petulant, selfish, and brazen, he possessed a character that was unreachable for most people.
He had not accepted any of the three bows!
At that moment, Feng Jingtu suddenly realized what Yang Zhen intended. His heart pounded at this realization.
Yang Zhenâs talent was, undoubtedly, higher than that of the entire Feng Family combined. However, Yang Zhen at that point was still only a Heavenly Realm practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period. His rate of cultivation seemed exceptionally slow, compared to his potential.
In other words, Yang Zhen was intentionally suppressing his cultivation. As he stayed true to himself in all matters, itâs likely that what he was cultivatingâ¦was the great path!
After arriving at this understanding, a storm of shock surged in Feng Jingtuâs heart. He looked at Yang Zhen with a stunned look, his emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
At this moment, Elder Feng, Meng Tinghao, and the elderly man in the purple robe finished their small talk and addressed Yang Zhen, âYoung friend Yang, gratitude for saving a life goes without saying. What you desire, as long as this old manâs bones and the Feng Family can provide, we will not hesitate!â
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the Feng Family looked at Yang Zhen, their faces full of shock.
