Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

The best Cultivation Technique in the Flawless Palace was the Heaven-Booming Technique, an Earth Level Top Tier technique. Although it couldn’t compare to the Flawless Flesh Body, it was still the highest-grade cultivation technique in the Flawless Palace. After all, the Flawless Flesh Body was only a Body Refining Technique.

Hearing Luo Feng’s words, Mo Zhi looked at Lin Yun with excitement. Anyone could guess that Luo Feng was only willing to pass on the Flawless Palace’s top-tier Cultivation Technique to him because Lin Yun had requested it.

"Young Master..." Mo Zhi began, looking at Lin Yun with deep emotion. Seeing this, Lin Yun just smiled faintly and cut him off.

"You don’t have to say anything. From now on, the safety of the Lin Family rests entirely on your shoulders. Don’t disappoint me."

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Mo Zhi’s expression grew firm. He spoke with the conviction of an oath, "Don’t worry, Young Master. As long as I have a single breath left in my body, I will protect the Lin Family."

"Good. Let my master teach you the Cultivation Mantra for the Heaven-Booming Technique now. Memorize it well, and be sure to cultivate diligently in the future," Lin Yun said, patting Mo Zhi’s shoulder.

After passing the Heaven-Booming Technique to Mo Zhi, Luo Feng added that if he had any questions over the next couple of days, he should feel free to ask.

After leaving Luo Feng, Mo Zhi, being a man of action rather than words, didn’t waste time thanking Lin Yun profusely. Instead, he secretly swore to himself that he would protect the Lin Family no matter what.

The three women, Lu Bingning included, were staying in the room next to Lin Yun’s. As he returned and walked past their door, he felt the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Power frantically converging into their room.

’Are they breaking through?’ This was undoubtedly the sign of a breakthrough. With a faint smile, Lin Yun decided not to disturb them. A breakthrough in one’s Cultivation was a critical moment, a time when one should not be interrupted.

Back in his own room, Lin Yun also closed his eyes and began to cultivate. ’It’s been a while since I reached Celestial Spirit Realm Minor Achievement,’ he mused, ’but I’m still a long way from Great Success.’

"Breaking through in the Celestial Spirit Realm certainly isn’t easy. It’s several times more difficult than the Primordial Ocean Realm," he muttered to himself.

The path of Martial Arts was not a short one. The higher one’s Cultivation, the more difficult it was to break through. Lin Yun understood this well, so he wasn’t desperate to reach Celestial Spirit Realm Great Success. Instead, he focused on taking each step with care and precision.

The night passed silently. The next day, Lin Yun was up early as usual, practicing his Martial Skills in the courtyard. Just then, Lu Bingning and Lan Xi, who had both broken through the night before, opened their doors and came out to join him.

"You broke through?" Lin Yun asked with a smile, looking at Lu Bingning and Lan Xi.

At his question, the two women smiled and nodded. Mo Qingliu, however, bounded happily over to Lin Yun and clung to him like a little koala, saying with a giggle,

"Brother Lin Yun! When Sister Bingning and Sister Lan Xi were breaking through yesterday, I was the one who stood guard for them!"

"That’s great. Qingliu, you have to work hard at your cultivation too, so you can catch up to your Sister Bingning and Sister Lan Xi soon, okay?" Lin Yun said with a laugh, dotingly stroking Mo Qingliu’s small head.

Mo Qingliu nodded. Ever since the incident at Taiqing Academy, she had become exceptionally dedicated to her cultivation. What Lu Bingning and Lan Xi found most baffling, however, was that the little girl seemed to face no bottlenecks whatsoever. In just a short time, Mo Qingliu had already reached the Third Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm.

Neither Lu Bingning nor Lan Xi could make sense of it. In the end, they just started thinking of the little girl as a monster. Her cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast, especially since she wasn’t using any supplementary Elixirs.

As Lin Yun was chatting with the three women in the courtyard, a Maid entered and announced that Wangcai, Li Ji, and Chen Xin had arrived to visit.

Hearing they had arrived, Lin Yun let out a hearty laugh. He asked the Maid to show them to the main hall and said he would be there right away.

"Come on, let’s go see some old friends," he said to the three women with a smile. The four of them then headed to the main hall together.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, Lin Yun saw Wangcai, Li Ji, and Chen Xin. With a booming laugh, he walked toward them. "It’s been years, but we’re finally seeing each other again."

"You’ve got some nerve, coming back without even telling us," Li Ji scolded playfully. "If Wangcai hadn’t told me, I would’ve had no idea you were back."

"Exactly! You’ll have to drink three penalty cups today, or we’re not letting this go," Wangcai chimed in.

Seeing them act this way, the last trace of worry in Lin Yun’s heart vanished. Before meeting them, he had been concerned that their friendship might have grown distant due to his newfound power and status.

The last thing Lin Yun wanted was for his friends to feel distant from him.

But seeing them now, that worry completely disappeared. They were the same as ever—true friends, with no ulterior motives or benefits sought.

Lin Yun introduced the three women to his friends. Lu Bingning and Lan Xi didn’t need much of an introduction, but he made sure to introduce Mo Qingliu properly.

"A pleasure to meet you, ladies. I’m Li Ji. This is Wangcai, and this is his wife, Chen Xin," Li Ji said, greeting the three women.

Hearing Li Ji’s introduction, Lin Yun looked at Wangcai and Chen Xin and asked with some surprise, "You two got married?"

"Young Master Lin, what kind of question is that?" Li Ji interjected. "You’ve already got three beauties as lovely as jade with you, and Wangcai’s only got Chen Xin. Plus, he even swore an oath that she’s the only one for him in this life, haha!"

Hearing Li Ji’s teasing, Wangcai gave a slightly awkward laugh. On the Celestial Spirit Continent, monogamy was exceedingly rare, especially among the scions of wealthy families.

The fact that Wangcai could make such a decision showed that his feelings for Chen Xin were genuine.

Lin Yun had everyone take a seat, and they all began to chat, catching up on the changes of the past few years.

Li Ji hadn’t changed much; he was now a Commander in the Yanhuang Capital Guard Army. The one who had changed the most, however, was Wangcai.

Not only had he married Chen Xin, but Wangcai was now the Patriarch of the Wang Family.

In just a few years, Wangcai had become the Patriarch of the Wang Family. A lot had happened in that time. First, Wangcai’s grandfather, Wang Yi, had passed away two years ago.

Wang Yi’s death, of course, was no accident. He had been murdered by his eldest son, Wang Tianwu, who had secretly added a potent poison to his food. Even at the moment of his death, Wang Yi never imagined he would be killed by his own son.

Once Wang Yi died, the conflict between the factions of Wang Tianwu and his son versus Wangcai and his father naturally grew more intense. In the end, of course, Wangcai and his father were victorious. They not only executed Wang Tianwu and his son but also successfully seized control of the entire Wang Family.

The Wang Family was now much more prosperous than before. Their businesses had spread throughout Yanhuang Country, and the family’s overall power had grown significantly.

Looking at Wangcai, Lin Yun could only imagine the dangers he must have faced while fighting against Wang Tianwu and his son. But it was that very experience that had forced Wangcai to mature. At least in Lin Yun’s eyes, the Wangcai before him now was far more mature and shrewd.
