C442 One year

"What a brilliant escape technique. Seems like it is no less than the top five escape techniques' escape techniques!"

A slightly plump, square-faced large-eared cultivator in his fifties walked over from more than a hundred zhang away.

Yan Dazhi quickly cupped his hands and bowed, "Sect Leader Uncle-Master, if it weren't for you personally helping me, I'm afraid that I would have already fallen into Ouyang Palin's hands."

Originally, he was an extremely low-profile existence in the Jade Province, but today, he was already a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign. At the very least, he was the fourth Heavenly Dipper Sovereign of the Jade Province after Daoist Master Xiao, Daoist Master Xiao, and old man Yan.

"I didn't expect this to happen. I didn't expect the demonic cultivator to be so powerful. I never thought that even with my current Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivation, I still can't keep him here."

Yan Dazhi hesitated and said, "Maybe it's because Uncle-Master's cultivation has just advanced and has yet to familiarize himself with the Heavenly Dipper Realm, Ouyang Palin can still make use of this opportunity."

"It's true that I've just advanced to Heavenly Dipper, but Ouyang Palin's strength is equally outstanding. She escaped from my grasp with her own strength, and you don't need to adorn this matter for me. But now that he's been severely injured by me, I'm afraid that he won't be around Yu City for a year or two."

"Apprentice Apprentice Nephew Yan, your flying sword needs to be replaced with a spirit artifact. Otherwise, with your talent in sword arts, even if you're only at the Astral Transformation Stage, you shouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state when fighting with Ouyang Palin!"

Yan Dazhi smiled bitterly and said, "What Martial Uncle said makes sense. Flying swords are rare, and spirit weapons are even rarer. Even our Tan Xi Sect doesn't have spirit weapons."

"I heard that the Damascus Seal Sect has quite a bit of Star Sand, which is at least of the middle-grade metal attribute. Moreover, it is one of the most suitable spirit materials to refine a flying sword. With a flying sword forged by the Star Sand, I believe that Martial Nephew's strength will be greatly increased."

Yan Dazhi's expression shook as he said, "Martial Uncle, are you going to make a move against the Damascus Seal Faction in the end?"

"The cultivators in the Jade Region all thought that their sect would wait for Senior Yan Yan to advance to the Great Astral Realm before starting a war of extermination against the Damascus Plane. Even if the Damascus Plane itself thought that unless Senior Yan advanced to the Great Astral Realm, their sect would be as secure as gold, how could they know that Senior Yan did not go into closed-door cultivation, and I was the one who actually closed door to break through the bottleneck!"

"The Damascus Seal Faction boasted that only the cultivators of the Supreme Astral Realm can break through their mountain gates. This old man wants to see if the combined forces of two Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns can match up to one of them!"

A hint of fanaticism flashed across Yan Dazhi's face as he said, "The time has finally come for our Tan Xi Sect to rule over the entire Xi'an Country."

"It's not that simple. Even if we manage to get rid of the Damascus Plains and the Qixi Sect, the two sects will definitely receive help from the forces outside of the State of Seals. No one is willing to see our sect unify the State of Seals."

Yan Dazhi's face froze for a moment when he heard that. "That's nothing. After exterminating the Damascus Plane Cult, the overall situation of the Xi'an Seal Sect is already in my Tan Xi Sect. It's only a matter of time before I unify the Xi'an Country."

Daoist Master Ju smiled and nodded his head. However, the solemnity that flashed through his eyes was not seen by Yan Dazhi. This kid, Da Zhi, probably wasn't suitable to be the next Sect Leader of Tan Xi. What a pity!

How could things be so simple? More and more alien cultivators had arrived in this world, and now they began to wantonly roam all over the world. This world was bound to experience a huge change, and in this upheaval, even the late stage of the realms was just an ignorant chess piece.

Perhaps only those who had advanced into the Dao Realm would be able to see through the secrets of this world, but they would only be able to do so.

The only thing he could do now was to work together with Senior Yan to protect the entire sect. He would probably be able to survive the upcoming great change.

Therefore, he said to Yan Dazhi, "Martial Nephew Yan, continue to escort these juniors and return to the sect as soon as possible. With this old man taking action today, then the news of me advancing to the Heavenly Dipper Realm will quickly spread throughout the entire Jade Province. There's no time to delay any longer, the day you return to the sect will be the day we attack the Damascus Plane Faction."

In a year's time, Su Bao Zhang and Yang Junping's cultivation had been pushed all the way to the peak of the baleful qi realm, and they had even broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the late stage of the Martial Master realm. It was not impossible for them to reach the peak of the Heaven-Shaking Peak with the nourishment of a spiritual river, not to mention the fact that there was an abundant supply of elixirs.

Although Yang Junshan had urged the two of them to practice the body forging technique, they could only temporarily alleviate the hidden problems caused by their rapid cultivation growth. After the two of them reached the late stage of the Martial Disciple Stage, they would certainly enter a long period of cultivation stagnation to compensate for the hidden problems caused by the rapid growth of their cultivation. However, in the face of the Yang Family, whose foundation was as shallow as a piece of white paper, they couldn't care less.

In fact, after just ten months of cultivation, Su Bao Zhang's cultivation had already reached the saturation point of the aura level. Two months later, when Yang Junping also reached this level, Su Bao Zhang had already started to breakthrough to the late stage of the Martial Human Realm with the aid of the pills.

Yang Junshan had set up a small scale spiritual control array around Su Bao Zhang, sealing off the strong spiritual energy fluctuations caused by Su Bao Zhang into a certain space so that neither the light barrier around the entrance of the stone room nor Yang Junping, who was cultivating, would be affected.

Just like that, another two months passed. Under the help of the rich spiritual energy, Su Bao Zhang's cultivation stabilized, and Yang Junping finally had a breakthrough.

After staying in the stone room for one year and four months, the two of them were finally able to stabilize their cultivation. At this time, the three Spiritual Beads were finally nurtured to the source of the Spiritual Beads.

All of you should also know that you have taken a shortcut to enter the late stage of the Martial Disciple Stage. The current situation of your clan and the great changes that may happen in the future will not allow you to advance your cultivation step by step. After this advancement, you will probably have to spend a longer time to consolidate your foundation in the Pure Qi Realm.

Yang Junping didn't mind at all, "Brother, how old am I now? When Father was my age, I was afraid that Mother and I had just gotten married. At most, we were only at the Mourning Qi realm. I can afford to wait for two or three years."

Su Bao Zhang also laughed: "If it wasn't for uncle and Little Shan, then whether or not I could advance to Martial Disciple is already a problem, not to mention that right now I am a Martial Disciple. Moreover, my cultivation is only being delayed, not being wasted, and it is impossible that it would affect my future advancement to the Great Perfection Stage."

Yang Junshan saw that the two of them didn't care much about it, so he smiled and said: "In that case, we should hurry back to the Barren Town, and now that we think about it, the war of the Heaven Shaking Sect to take over the Sunset Ridge has already begun. Although our Yang family does not need to participate in this battle, the Spirit Opening Sect suffered a huge loss last time in the Western Mountain Village."2

Yang Junping immediately jumped up from his seat and said, "Then let's not waste any more time!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Junshan said instead, "No rush. Let's try and see if we can break that barrier at the entrance of the stone chamber."

In reality, Yang Junshan did not believe that the three true disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect would have the idea of breaking this barrier. If even the three Great Perfection Stage cultivators were unable to break this barrier, then would he be stronger than Zhang Yueming and the two true disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect if he brought two late stage Martial Saints with him?

However, Yang Junshan was not willing to give it a try!

Yang Junshan and Su Bao Zhang's Breaking Mountain technique and Yang Junping's Earth Splitting Spirit Art all hit the barrier around the stone room at the same time.

With a muffled boom, the barrier's barrier suddenly expanded. The entire stone room began to shake violently, and then it rapidly rebounded. A huge wave of Spiritual Energy was sent back, causing Yang Junshan's face to instantly change.

"Go, go, leave this place!"

Yang Junshan pulled the two of them, turned around and ran towards the exit of the center of the stone room.

Yang Jun and Su Bao Zhang did not dare to hesitate, quickly running behind Yang Junshan, and behind them, a huge tornado followed, as if it was going to devour them at any time.

The three of them jumped into the tunnel, barely avoiding the danger behind them. Yang Junping still had some lingering fear in his heart and said, "Brother, what was that just now? Was it the backlash from the formation?"

Yang Junshan took two deep breaths and looked back towards the stone room outside the cave. He saw that the spiritual energy inside the stone room was boiling, and waves of waves hit the stone wall, creating a muffled sound, as if someone was knocking on the door with a hammer.

"Forget it, we're not going back. Let's go down the mountain and leave Yu City!"

Yang Junshan saw that the activity in the stone chamber wouldn't be able to calm down soon. Since he had already achieved his goal by coming to the Heaven Shaking Peak's stone chamber, he didn't stay any longer and brought the two of them down the mountain.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the three of them left the abandoned manor and changed their appearances. When they appeared in Yu City the next day, no one else would be able to recognize them.

However, they soon heard about some of the major events that had happened in Yuzhou during this year from the cultivators in Yuzhou. This naturally included the news of Ouyang Ting being heavily injured in the southeast wilderness outside Yucheng more than a year ago, the joint efforts of the Jade Sword Sect and the Jade Firmament Sect's direct disciples to break through the Heaven-Shaking Mountain's formation, as well as the conflicts between Yuzhou's cultivators and the local cultivators.

However, the most sensational event was the incident one year ago when the Damascus Sect was destroyed by the Tan Xi Sect and the Damascus Sect was eventually swallowed by the Tan Xi Sect.

The second half of the night watch came too late as it couldn't be completed today at the third part of the night.
