Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 301: A Slice of Pride

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: A Slice of Pride

Ma Yu and Ren Yuan saw this and quickly saluted, then said in unison, "In response to the Old Master’s words, it’s the Master!"

"Xiao Tian?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng immediately asked in surprise, "Are you saying all of this was caused by Xiao Tian?"

"That’s right!"

Ma Yu nodded and said, "The Master closed himself off this time to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage or even to the peak, and now it seems he has succeeded!"

Broken through?

Although Yang Cheng and all the Yang family members didn’t quite understand what Golden Core or breakthrough meant, they understood one thing clearly.

That is, the one causing this climate change is Yang Tian!

A person who can change the weather with their own power? How terrifying, how powerful could that be?

Thinking of this, all of the Yang family members showed eyes of admiration and simultaneously felt a deepening sense of awe towards Yang Tian.

Yet before everyone could calm their inner thoughts, the aura that had begun to stabilize suddenly surged again.

Then everyone saw a black dragon, appearing both illusory and real, flying out from the roof of Yang Tian’s room straight up into the clouds.

At that moment, the previously clear sky was instantly replaced by dark clouds, which began to slowly expand.

In just an instant, the black cloud spread out from covering only the Yang Family, blanketing the whole Binjiang City.

Immediately, countless people in Binjiang City looked up in curiosity only to find the sky obscured by dark clouds, plunging the entire city into darkness.

"This... what is happening? Isn’t the Master already broken through? How is there new aura appearing? And... and stronger than before? Has the Master already reached the Nascent Soul?"

Witnessing this scene, Ren Yuan was dumbfounded.

The earlier aura that affected the entire Yang Mansion, though surprising, was still somewhat expected.

But now these clouds covered the whole Binjiang City, an occurrence even as a cultivator he found incredible!

Ma Yu also shook his head in confusion and said, "I don’t know either, we can only wait for the Master to come out and tell us himself, but right now I’m worried about the others!"

"Others?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan smiled bitterly.

Because at this moment, all the people of the Yang family behind them were suppressed by the terrifying aura, unable to catch their breath, with many drenched in sweat, collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

If it weren’t for Ma Yu and Ren Yuan, these two Innate Experts standing before them to shield them with their own aura, the people of the Yang family might have already fainted.

Though Yang family as the center of the aura expansion bore stronger pressure, considering that even with Ma Yu and Ren Yuan’s protection the Yang family was like this, how could others in Binjiang City fare better?

The entire Binjiang City was said to be plunged into a doomsday-like panic when the dark clouds covered it.

However, neither Ma Yu nor Ren Yuan could do anything but resist the violent aura while praying for Yang Tian to come out quickly.

Time seemed to drift unknowingly.

Just as Ma Yu and Ren Yuan felt somewhat exhausted and unable to continue, the sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, followed immediately by a torrential downpour. The pressure, finding this outlet with the rain’s fall, gradually began to dissipate.

Watching the torrential rain overhead, both Ma Yu and Ren Yuan, these Innate experts, collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion, gasping for breath while hurriedly looking toward Yang Tian’s door, for they knew Yang Tian was coming out!

Cre-eak!

With a soft noise, the door to Yang Tian’s room slowly opened, and as it did, the downpour instantly ceased, even the dark clouds began to disperse, revealing sunlight once more.

As the sunlight shone before the open door, a young man in black clothes and black hair stood with hands behind his back, stepping out.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Xiao Tian!"

Seeing this, Ma Yu, Ren Yuan, and the numerous Yang family members exclaimed, for the one emerging was surely Yang Tian, who had been in seclusion for three months.

"Sorry to have startled you all!" Yang Tian saw this and smiled mildly, raising his hand slightly.

Instantly, everyone felt an invisible force lifting them all, even calming the horror in their hearts.

Feeling this miraculous power, Ma Yu excitedly asked, "Master, have you... have you broken through to the Nascent Soul?"

"Nascent Soul?"

Yang Tian smiled and shook his head, "The Nascent Soul Stage is a major hurdle in cultivation, not something easily surpassed!"

"Then you are..."

"I have merely achieved a Ten-grade Golden Core!" Yang Tian said with a proud smile in his eyes.

Ten-grade Golden Core?

Hearing Yang Tian say this, Ma Yu and Ren Yuan looked at each other, puzzled.

They, guided by Yang Tian, cultivated different techniques, Ma Yu with the Seven Split Demon Annihilation Technique, and Ren Yuan with the Demon Sword of Slaughter.

Thus, they naturally knew the Golden Cores formed during the Golden Core Stage were divided into nine grades, first grade the weakest, ninth grade the finest!

But what is this Ten-grade Golden Core?

Both were utterly bewildered!

Actually, not just them, even Yang Tian himself was somewhat unsure of his plight.

During the three-month seclusion, Yang Tian’s initial goal was to cultivate to the Golden Core Late Stage or even the peak, a goal he achieved with the first occurrence of celestial phenomena.

Drawing on the foundation of this period, Yang Tian finally succeeded in advancing two levels directly to the Golden Core Peak.

Yet as Yang Tian prepared to conclude his seclusion, he encountered an unexpected gain: his Golden Core, originally compressed to the size of a small green bean and reaching ninth grade, surprisingly suggested the possibility of further compression.

This sensation had never appeared in the memory of the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable!

It’s known that Yang Tian’s cultivation had long followed the path of the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable. This sudden option left Yang Tian in a dilemma.

Continuing the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable’s cultivation path, if successful in reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, would surely result in no major errors.

Although the transcendent stage of the Devouring Spirit Technique was erased by the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable.

As long as Yang Tian kept cultivating this, he would at least reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage as a Cultivation Demon—this level of strength was unrivaled on Earth indeed!

But if rashly attempting this path, absent from the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable’s memory, it might easily lead to mistakes, potentially resulting in death and the end of the road.

However, having witnessed the vast universe and countless cultivation planets within the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable’s memory, Yang Tian’s perspective had already transcended this small Earth.

He yearned to become stronger, to touch the vast universe, just like humans yearn to fly!

Thus, after much struggle, Yang Tian finally chose to attempt compressing the ninth-grade Golden Core, beginning his first endeavor to break away from the Devouring Spirit Demon Venerable’s cultivation path!

This eventually caused the celestial phenomenon covering the entire Binjiang City.

Now the Golden Core within Yang Tian’s body is as small as a grain of rice, yet incredibly resilient. It’s said that if an ordinary cultivator’s Golden Core is struck with enough force, it can easily shatter, resulting in loss of cultivation.

However, Yang Tian harbors no such concerns, as his Golden Core has become extraordinarily resilient to an astonishing degree.
