Chapter 143 - 126 Tianyan, Third Grade

Chapter 143: Chapter 126 Tianyan, Third Grade

Summer passed and autumn arrived, a season had gone by.

The Qionghua mountain ranges stretched on with peaks rising steeply, one after another.

Apart from the Dome Palace on the main peak, the rest of the mountains were dotted with man-made structures, where people from the various Mianyan Sect families mostly resided.

The people of the sect here did not fancy living in cave dwellings but preferred to reside in elegant courtyards and pavilions, much like the outer world families.

The residence of Xu Yuan was situated at the top of a hillside.

Not large, it was roughly about an acre in size, surrounded by a flat lawn where a crooked peach tree was planted, creating a beautiful scene. From the bamboo tower in the southwest of the courtyard, one could see a secluded pond down in the hollow of the mountain.

The wind caressed the grassy land gently.

Two figures descended from the sky and quietly landed on the grass in front of the house’s door.

With his face swollen and bruised, Xu Yuan glanced back at the girl in light red palace attire who seemed unconcerned.

Noticing his gaze, Tianyan immediately asked with slight concern,

"Jing He, did I go too hard again?"

"......."

Xu Yuan humphed softly without responding and walked straight into his residence after deactivating its protective restrictions.

To improve the effectiveness of the training, he and Tianyan had been sparring without using any cultivation techniques.

Without using cultivation techniques, he couldn’t beat Tianyan.

However, having a top-notch fighter like Tianyan as a sparring partner had greatly improved Xu Yuan’s combat abilities.

It was a much greater improvement than what he had experienced in the Wuxuan Institute.

It was just unfortunate that compared to the muscular titans in the institute, Tianyan, the woman, sometimes let some personal grudges slip into her blows.

The courtyard was quiet, the only sounds were their footsteps, no other noise could be heard.

On both sides of the stone path grew the bluish aromatic grass and purple flowers that Tianyan had planted when she had the time.

Xu Yuan liked to read books in his spare time, while Tianyan enjoyed tinkering with these flowers and plants.

All summer long, their yard was a mass of blue and purple, with waves of fragrance that were ever so pleasant.

"I’m about to make a breakthrough."

The girl’s voice was very soft and very sudden.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately stopped in his tracks and turned back to look.

The girl, barefoot, stood quietly by his side, looking down at the flowers and grass she had planted on the path as if those words hadn’t come from her.

"......."

After a long silence,

Xu Yuan finally spoke slowly,

"What... did you say?"

Tianyan slowly raised her eyes to meet his,

"I said, I’m about to advance to Third Grade."

"That quick?"

"I was originally at the Origin Initial level, advancing to Third Grade doesn’t require me to comprehend the Dao anew, it’s just a matter of accumulating Origin Qi."

Her words were casual.

Having inherited a cultivation base with the peak of Fourth Grade Integration Body and being at the Origin Initial level, her advancement to Third Grade presented no bottlenecks for her, as simple as drinking water.

Xu Yuan remained silent upon hearing this.

Tianyan’s advancement to Third Grade was both a good and bad thing for him.

In the current situation, the stronger Tianyan became, the higher the chances of them surviving in this Illusionary Realm.

But likewise, the stronger Tianyan became, his advantage in cultivation strength over her would gradually vanish.

Now, when operating the Revival Technique, without using the newly developed trump card, the outcome of a fight between him and Tianyan was around seventy-thirty in his favor.

If Tianyan became a Third Grade, it would be like a mother spanking her child.

After a quiet moment,

Xu Yuan sighed softly and said in a low voice,

"Then I’ll congratulate you in advance."

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan, her golden eyes twinkling with mirth,

"Aren’t you scared?"

"Of course I am,"

Xu Yuan shrugged and continued walking forward, "But there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just a pseudo-Third Grade who hasn’t even grasped the ’Dao’. The stronger you are, the greater our chances of surviving."

Third Grade Great Masters comprehend the Dao, Second Grade Origin Initials fuse the Dao into themselves to enter the realm, First Grade Mortal Transcendance expands the Dao beyond the body.

In the real world, Xu Yuan was merely a Seventh Grade; the ’Dao’ was something far too remote for him, equivalent to asking a freshman in college to research nuclear fusion.

Now, they didn’t know how much longer they would have to stay in this Illusionary Realm, and Tianyan’s strength was sure to keep growing; he wouldn’t be able to suppress her forever.

Hearing this, Tianyan appeared slightly surprised, crossing her arms and gently tapping her cheek with a slender jade finger:

"I thought you knew about this and would pull some tricks on me."

"Tricks?" Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Tianyan matter-of-factly said, "Detonating the prohibitions inside my body, plunging me into a state of deep intoxication where I can’t cultivate and the like."

"We are allies now."

"Don’t you have any idea what kind of person you are?"

"....." Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan smacked his lips, then raised his hand to pat Tianyan’s shoulder.

Tianyan did not dodge or avoid his gesture.

She had gotten used to this action from him after so long.

While she was thinking,

Tianyan suddenly felt the prohibitions within her being gradually dissolved by Xu Yuan.

Her gaze at Xu Yuan turned curious.

Concerning the future, the two reached a consensus to jointly remove the enchanting poison in her body, but the price was that she let himself plant a prohibition on her.

Latter on, when they discovered that the poison from the Enchantress Divine Flower could not be completely removed, this bastard immediately switched to another type of prohibition.

A prohibition called the "Love Provocation Curse."

This kind of prohibition is often used in Dual Cultivation Cauldrons.

It is a wicked Secret Technique that Xu Yuan found in the fifth layer of Wenyuan Pavilion.

As a Secret Technique of the fifth layer of Wenyuan Pavilion, apart from being difficult to dispel once planted, it had no other benefits. The effects of provoking love were weak, and any Fifth Grade Soul Condensation Realm technique could neutralize the charm within it.

But nowadays, Tianyan’s body contained the poison from the Enchantress Divine Flower and the toxin causing celestial seduction that could not be removed. The Love Provocation Curse acted merely as a fuse; once ignited, it could cause the Enchantress Divine Flower poison and the celestial seduction toxin to explosively spread throughout her body.

But now, it was directly dissolved by him.

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan, her voice filled with confusion:

"What are you doing....."

Xu Yuan withdrew his hand, speaking softly:

"Use men whom you trust, do not trust men whom you employ."

"...."

Tianyan didn’t speak, but she eyed him with an extremely distrustful expression.

After being inseparable for several months, any trust between them had long since dissipated.

She was certain that this man was not so kind-hearted.

She suspected he was setting another trap for her.

Letting out a small sigh, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

"We have been living together for almost three months now. This is a gesture of my sincerity to you."

"Sincerity?"

"Since you took the initiative to inform me about this matter, naturally I should show some response."

"Really?"

"Really." Xu Yuan looked intently at Tianyan, speaking earnestly.

A breeze fluttered through the girl’s soft, black hair,

Then,

she suddenly smiled:

"Are you... afraid that I will take revenge on you after I break through my realm?"

Xu Yuan firmly denied: "Why should I fear? You can’t kill me."

In the brilliant sunshine,

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes curved into two crystal-clear crescent moons:

"Indeed, I can’t kill you, but thankfully you taught me one thing. Do you want to know what it is?"

"......"

Xu Yuan countered.

"It wasn’t me who taught it, it was Ran Qingmo."

"But I learned it from you."

"......"

"......"

Five days later,

Tianyan broke through to Third Grade.
