Chapter 342: One Step into Heaven Realm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In this single day and night, Lei Dongtian became an incredible instructor, one that was akin to a model textbook!
Under his unreserved training, Yun Yang acquired a hundred years of cultivation base within a single sitting. The cultivation base was stabilized, condensed and entirely merged into his being at a flying speed, turning into an extension of his own real combat power.
Yun Yang’s cultivation realm had two breakthroughs amidst the process.
The hundred years of cultivation base acquired from consuming the ruby fruits could lead Yun Yang directly to a breakthrough, but Yun Yang had suppressed his cultivation base at the pinnacle of the eighth peak, based on his individual suppression and especially Emmie’s assistance. Yun Yang and Emmie worked together in internal suppression through the exceptional cultivating atmosphere, continuous high-pressure battles, and the frequent visits of his own breaking point while Lei Dongtian trained and pressed him externally. Upon stifling the breakthrough, they continued grinding again, repeating the process…
After seven to eight cycles, Yun Yang’s cultivation base was forced to the limit of eighth peak pinnacle. Without any further room to improve, he advanced directly to the ninth peak! A dozen similar repetitions later, he managed to break through to Tenth Perfection Realm!
This was the known limit by cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent – an ultimate realm that could not be reached unless one was the world’s top cultivator.
In spite of this, it was only a stage for Yun Yang – a starting point for an all-new cultivation realm.
Lei Dongtian, who understood the significance of this stage, did not pause in his efforts as well, forcing Yun Yang to continue his breakthrough and training. Throughout the entire night, they did not stop, not even to rest.
Finally, when dawn was about to break, Yun Yang suddenly felt his exhausted body turn light. The impurities within him had evaporated; even his brain, that was muddled from the grueling training, regained clarity. His movements turned smooth and easy, his body responded immediately to his thoughts. His deific consciousness had even increased tenfold!
All signs screamed that Yun Yang had finally entered a new cultivation realm. He had achieved the heavenly realm of mystical Qi – first tier of heaven realm!
Lei Dongtian had been restraining Yun Yang’s breaking point, helping him stabilize his foundation and urging him forward all the way to the pinnacle of first heaven in the mystical Qi heaven realm.
The efficacy of the ruby fruits had finally come to a head!
Yun Yang’s improvement in this entire day and night was no different from taking one step straight into heaven. Yun Yang, who had entered the first tier of heaven realm, had indeed entered heaven – was it not so when he had improved from peak realm to heaven realm?
It was only a day, but Yun Yang’s cultivation base and combat abilities were reforged anew!
When they stopped, even Yun Yang could not believe in his own success, that he could actually charge to such heights within a night without the help of Emmie’s mythical power!
…
Old Mu watched the process through his window, feeling all sorts of emotions run through him.
Young master was indeed being sincere in his brotherhood with this Yun Yang!
Throughout the night, he had done so much in helping the other in his breakthroughs. Back in those years when his young master had his breakthrough, he could not even manage to break through so many bottlenecks and limits, but he had helped Yun Yang every step of the way.
Even the regrets and flaws that his young master was left with from certain causes when he broke through the last time, he had helped Yun Yang to avoid them, skip them, and fill in the gaps.
"Sigh, young lord… you weren't so helpful to your own father… How congenial he was to Yun Yang!"
Thank God this encounter was not an ill-fated one!
Thank God Yun Yang was not a woman!
Thank God too that his young master was not homosexual!
Thank God, thank God!
…
Both Yun Yang and Lei Dongtian had stayed together for an entire day and an entire night.
Even being exceptionally strong and skilled, Lei Dongtian was exhausted, feeling like he was sucked dry. However, Yun Yang was vibrant and full of spirit, being unprecedentedly healthy.
He was glowing with a healthy flush and was absolutely at ease, with a confident grace in his bearing.
"Brother Yun, you’re just like a little monster!" Lei Dongtian huffed, his face pale.
He felt as if this day and night was no different from being inhumanely tormented. How could this be? He was the one who was taking action and leading the development of things. Why was it that when he was so expended, Yun Yang was so full of life?
Lei Dongtian did not expect this result, that there would be this day when he would be utterly worn out as a mighty Dao realm cultivator just by accompanying an insignificant ant of peak realm through his breakthroughs.
It was absurd and unbelievable!
For a Dao realm cultivator’s boundless power to aid a mere peak realm cultivator’s breakthrough, Lei Dongtian felt like he could do so in one sitting, even though he might have to push it through the perfusion of mystical Qi.
The truth was terribly far from that.
Yun Yang’s resilience and viciousness shocked Lei Dongtian, frightened him even.
Yun Yang had asked his tutor for simulation ceaselessly, for him to train and grind him on combat skills and mystical Qi with a superior status. Yun Yang was able to use and even outdo Lei Dongtian’s every sentence. Not only could he use it with ease, he was able to innovate and add his own flair to it.
Lei Dongtian did not have to worry about Yun Yang not being able to comprehend his words through the entire process. The latter was like an extremely parched sponge that was thirstily sucking all the knowledge that Lei Dongtian had to give!
Any combination of techniques regarding mystical Qi and combat tactics, any breakthrough experience, anything and everything!
When Yun Yang was advancing to mystical Qi ninth peak from the eighth peak, Lei Dongtian had only given a word of reminder before Yun Yang could extract the principle contained within at once and push his mystical Qi to the most compatible breaking point!
After further training, he had successfully achieved a breakthrough amidst a fight without any hindrance! Furthermore, Yun Yang had even countered and retaliated forcefully upon the breakthrough! He tempered his mystical Qi cultivation that had just advanced through the retaliating fight, unleashing the ruby fruits’ last bit of medicinal strength and utilizing it without leaving out any bit of it.
Compared to Yun Yang’s ease of improvement, Lei Dongtian’s story was sadder. He had to control his power in case he accidentally injured Yun Yang while accurately maintain the tempo according to Yun Yang’s prowess and become the most efficient yet cautious training partner.
Of course, he did not mind maintaining such a state. In fact, it was gratifying!
Seeing someone so capable of comprehending and absorbing each and every word of his, the sense of achievement was undoubted for Lei Dongtian, especially when he was moving at such an extreme speed. Therefore, Lei Dongtian had unknowingly followed Yun Yang’s tempo throughout the process.
Then, he witnessed the birth of a miracle!
For one whole day and night, the hundred years of cultivation base provided by the three ruby fruits had allowed a person of mystical Qi eighth peak to charge all the way to first tier pinnacle of the heaven realm; granted the fact that there was a solid foundation in every step.
Even then, it seemed like there was more that could be done like there was still room for further achievements.
Lei Dongtian could not help feeling the impulse of taking in a disciple… So this was what it feels like to educate another person! How happy and gratifying it is to be teaching someone!
"All these are thanks to Brother Lei’s attentive teaching. This young brother thanks you sincerely." Yun Yang smiled abashedly.
Lei Dongtian’s gaze at Yun Yang right now was filled with misgivings.
When everything had ended, he realized that he had nothing else to teach Yun Yang in every other aspect except that his own cultivation base was still much higher than that of Yun Yang. Yun Yang had really dug him clean and spotless in this short amount of time.
Lei Dongtian, who was still wondering about the hollowness he felt, suddenly experienced a repulsive thought that could not be stopped.
His own shine would have to be stifled if such a genius was to grow… When the world had Yun Yang, would there still be Lei Dongtian’s time reign of dictating nine heavens?! If so, did he want to kill him and nip the issue in the bud first?
The thought was forcefully kept away in the recesses of Lei Dongtian's mind.
That would be a concern for the future!
Not only did Yun Yang’s utilization value still exist, Lei Dongtian had invested so much in him; he could not simply destroy him. He had also formed a deep brotherhood with Yun Yang and the cauldron of Seven Emotions Praxis was taking shape. How could he let Yun Yang die before the time of cultivation came?
Forget it. The better he was treating Yun Yang, the deeper Yun Yang would feel for him, and the more violent the retaliation process of the seven emotions would be later. Besides, the higher Yun Yang’s cultivation base was, the stronger the basic Yang energy he could get when he got his way. He was still on the receiving end of benefits; he did not need to be impatient lest things went out of control.
Yun Yang acutely sensed the flash of maliciousness in Lei Dongtian’s eyes.
"A popinjay who has never experienced much indeed. Of course, he has his ulterior motives, but that’s all there is to it," Yun Yang commented in his heart indifferently.
If Lei Dongtian were someone thoughtful, he would have avoided key points or answered by skimming the surface when Yun Yang had raised his questions. He would never be led awry by his words. Even if he were to be led on by a moment of distraction, he would not show the jealousy and abhorrence so obviously and so quickly just after teaching his pupil so wholeheartedly.
Lei Dongtian did not achieve either of those. Such a character was not meant for great things!
In Yun Yang’s eyes, such a high-level cultivator had only that – an extremely high cultivation base; there was nothing else that was exemplary!
…
"It’s really a pity. With so many resources to assist me, and with Brother Lei’s wholehearted effort, I can only be pushed to the first tier of heaven realm." Yun Yang sighed, "I was thinking that the hundred years of cultivation base could make me advance to the fourth or fifth tier of heaven realm immediately."
Lei Dongtian’s train of thoughts was diverted immediately as he replied, "You wish! If the three ruby fruits’ medicinal power was wholly used for advancement and breakthroughs, it’s not impossible to forcibly push you to fourth or fifth heaven. However, the thoughtless advancement means the lack of a solid foundation. Lacking a solid base will deter a far and long cultivation journey – this is the simplest logic. Such improvements with a solid foundation like yours are the real sense of improvement, without any hidden danger. There is an only beneficial advancement. The pros and cons of these two can be easily seen!"
Lei Dongtian snorted, "Don’t you understand? As a more direct example, both sand and mud can be used to build houses. However, using such materials as opposed to using steel and marble to make the house’s foundation – which one is better? Which one will last longer? Even if the latter can’t stand against the wind and rain, it triumphs the former’s inability for permanency and is far better than for the house to collapse in the future!"
"I see."
Yun Yang grinned in embarrassment. "Brother Lei knows so much. Your words always hit the right spot, landing so much higher than where I’ve set my eyes on."
Lei Dongtian spoke like he was teaching Yun Yang a lesson, "Brother Yun, you must remember. No matter what it is, the base must be solid first. Otherwise, there will only be regrets and it’s no use crying over spilled milk!"
Yun Yang accepted the teaching humbly.
Old Mu who was at the window, sighed.
Young lord, you are right. However, Yun Yang’s foundation is already very much like concrete… It’s you who didn’t achieve that. The several points you have mentioned… you didn’t do those either!"
