Chapter 252: Chapter 9 Nine Days, Nine Levels: Surpassing the Ancient and the Modern

Tower! Tower! Tower!

Liang Hui tread over the broken stones and arrived at the remnants of a building.

Dust settled, revealing torn and shattered flesh.

Passing over the ground paved with flesh, he came before a carcass that barely had its upper body intact.

With a simple gesture of his palm, a grey cloth bag flew out from the remains and into Liang Hui’s hand.

’A storage bag, huh? It looks like things will be a lot more convenient from now on.’

The youth murmured in his heart, at the same time projecting his consciousness into the bag.

When he saw the items inside, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile.

True to the big families of Silver Rock City, whether it was precious medicines or Magic Artifacts, there were quite a few in the storage bag.

He casually tucked the storage bag into his chest.

Turning around!

He saw three figures that had appeared in the corner at some unknown time, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a woman.

Liang Hui restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at the middle-aged man in feathered clothing standing in the center.

"City Lord? It seems I’ve disturbed you all."

"Qingcang, you’ve made too much commotion," the middle-aged man in feathered clothing sighed lightly. Although his expression was stern, his eyes were filled with shock.

This young man had reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.

Since the youth had started cultivating, it had only been two nights and a day, and he had already accomplished what took many people years or even decades.

It was so astounding that it felt unreal, like a dream.

He had once speculated that this might be the final struggle of the Human Race’s fortunes, but this struggle was too strong.

The moment the man in feathered clothing began to speak, Liang Hui already knew the decision of the high-ranking officials of Silver Rock City, or rather the choice of the leaders of the Human Race in this realm.

He took a step forward, approaching the man in feathered clothing.

"After all, the Guan Family has a sixth level Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which made things somewhat troublesome."

"By the way, City Lord, Elders, I’ll leave the aftermath with the Guan Family to you."

"Are you so sure that we will help you cover this up instead of capturing you?"

The youth’s mouth spread into a wide grin, but he did not answer.

He took another step and walked towards the outside of the Guan Family compound.

The City Lord watched the youth’s departing figure, and only when the youth was about to vanish from his sight did he speak in a deep voice:

"Qingcang, the stone houses in the east district of Silver Rock City are too cramped. You can go to the City Lord’s Mansion to cultivate. We will provide all the resources you need."

Liang Hui’s steps paused slightly, then he disappeared from the trio’s view.

Only a faint whisper barely discernible came with the breeze.

"I know!"

With the youth’s departure, only the City Lord and the two Elders remained.

It was only at this moment that Yun Di and the elder in the yellow robe shifted their gaze from the not-too-distant remains.

They opened their mouths towards the man in feathered clothing, but did not know how to begin.

After a long while, a hoarse voice came from the elder.

"City Lord, that Guan Family ancestor, he should be at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment."

"Yes, the sixth level of Foundation Establishment."

The man in feathered clothing, looking up at the sky, somehow seemed less weary in his eyes.

.....

Meanwhile, Liang Hui went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion.

He found a spacious courtyard and settled in.

Sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, he took out the precious medicines and rare stones obtained from the Guan Family, preparing to enter seclusion.

All the vermin had been crushed.

In terms of resources for cultivation, with the backing of the City Lord’s Mansion plus the spoils from the Guan Family, there would be no shortage for a while.

It was a good time to elevate the strength of this body. After all, the stronger the shell in the Heavenly Demon Realm, the greater the knowledge gained, and the greater the damage inflicted on this realm.

And he was also eager to experience the true strength of the two Demon Emperors.

Halting his train of thought, Liang Hui recovered from the exhaustion of the recent fight, ready to bring his condition to its peak before attempting the breakthroughs.

In cultivation, one loses track of the years, and in the blink of an eye, eight days had passed.

The City Lord had visited numerous times, bringing resources corresponding to the "Xuanyin Moon Technique," ensuring that Liang Hui’s seclusion was never interrupted.

Inside the bedroom.

Wisps of Moonlight Essence drifted about, rendering the figure seated in meditation on the bed, indistinct and mysterious.

Liang Hui was attuned to his body, with a nine-layer Tao Foundation suspended in his abdomen.

The Tao Foundation was silver throughout, with patterns formed of Moonlight Essence inscribed upon it, profound and mystical.

Furthermore, his bodily strength had increased more than tenfold compared to eight days ago.

Yet, what was most critical was the enhancement of his potential, with his blood and bones having turned silver, more closely aligned with moonlight, stars, and the Xuanyin Qi.

If a six-layer Tao Foundation’s potential was sufficient to attempt Core Formation, then crafting a nine-layer Tao Foundation would lead to the development of a unique constitution.

Inhale~ Exhale~

With each breath, all the Moonlight Essence in the room was drawn into his nostrils and mouth.

The youth slowly opened his eyes, and in a flash, the dimly lit room brightened once again.

They were a pair of silver eyes, embodying the unique chill and detachment of the bright moon.

However, these silver eyes soon returned to their usual black and white.

Liang Hui gazed at the brown sky and sighed softly in his heart.

"This path of cultivation, such a pity."

A path that might have led to divine channels, and one that was particularly outstanding at the Foundation Establishment level, had been cut short.

He wondered if he would have a chance to complete it through entering dreams.

His body rose, donning the silver robe gifted by the City Lord, and slung a treasured blade given by the Guan Family over his shoulder as he walked toward the door.

Liang Hui’s gaze passed through walls and doors, settling on the slim figure leaning against a tree trunk.

He stepped forward, heading for the room’s door.

Creak!

The door opened, and a gentle voice came from the courtyard.

"Elder Yun Di, what brings you here?"

"Qingcang, the City Lord... has... summoned... summoned," Yun Di stuttered uncontrollably as she looked at the tall figure, her words tripping over each other.

In her sight was a face with brows like ink paintings, temples as though carved with a blade, and gentle lines.

With a touch of feminine softness, yet extremely handsome, it was unforgettable at a glance.

And the mysterious, noble air emanating from his body made one unconsciously want to explore but also fear the indifference emanating from his soul.

"I am aware; thank you, Elder, for waiting here," Liang Hui responded as his palm lightly stroked the hilt of his blade, moving to the woman’s side.

"Lead the way, please."

"Certainly!"

Yun Di replied and began to walk.

Liang Hui followed, the two walking side by side.

Along the way, Yun Di’s gaze lingered on the youth’s figure. Not particularly tall or muscular, yet she felt a deep sense of ease from within.

As if beside him, there was no need to worry about anything in the world.

The sense of repression she had felt due to her clan ever since she could remember began to dissipate at this moment.

With their speed, they quickly arrived at a quaint courtyard.

Yun Di pointed ahead.

"Qingcang, the City Lord awaits within the courtyard," she stated.

Liang Hui nodded.

He strode forward, pushing open the door, and entered.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the stone table and chairs set in the center, and the man in feathered clothes sitting on one of the chairs.

"City Lord, what matter do you seek me for?" Liang Hui asked as he took a seat unceremoniously opposite the man in feathered clothes.

His hand reached out, rubbing the teacup on the table, feeling the warmth against his palm.

The man in feathered clothes closely observed the great changes in the youth’s appearance, incredulity filling his eyes.

"Foundation Establishment at the ninth level?"

"In nine days, Foundation Establishment at the ninth level?"
