A Good Romance

The auction ended, and everyone naturally returned to their own homes. Those who had bought an item that caught their fancy were naturally happy, while those who did not could only shake their heads and sigh. Ling Han was the biggest winner today, earning a huge sum of almost two hundred million. If word of this got out, there would probably be people who would come to rob him on the way. Just this one haul would be enough to last a lifetime.

Fortunately, there were no such people who were blind.

When he returned to Hu Yang Academy, Ling Han slept soundly. In his eyes, a huge sum of one or two hundred million was not much different from a piece of scrap paper, so there was no need for him to count it like a money grubber.

Early the next morning, he naturally woke up to cultivate as usual. His current rate of advancement was too fast. Two days ago, he had just broken through to the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, but now he was already close to the late period of the ninth layer. With just one more step, he would be at the peak period of the ninth layer, and would be able to attempt to break through to Gushing Spring Tier.

'Should I try out that possibility?' Ling Han asked in his mind after he had finished cultivating.

In his last life, he had entered into a great many ancient sites, and naturally obtained a great deal of cultivation and martial arts techniques, as well as some handwritten notes that he suspected belonged to a powerful warrior of Shattering Void Tier. There was one possibility mentioned in those notes.

Tenth layer of Element Gathering Tier

Nine was the extreme number of heaven and earth, so in this world, nine ruled supreme. The most supreme being of nine and five was the ruler of the mortal world. It was the same for martial arts. Whether it was from Body Refining Tier or Heaven Tier, nine layers was the extreme number.

And from Body Refining Tier to Heaven Tier, there were actually nine tiers. The final tier, Shattering Void Tier, was to break through one's shackles and become a god. It was a bridge that led to the other side, and could be considered as the step to escape.

However, there was an ancient elite who had mentioned that every tier could actually be cultivated to the extreme level, and then cultivated to perfection.

The handwritten note that Ling Han had obtained only mentioned that in Element Gathering Tier, one could form the tenth Origin Nucleus and break through the extreme number of nine, capturing the step to escape, and truly achieving perfection.

The benefits of such a level were endless.

One had to know that after Element Gathering Tier was the Gushing Spring, which was to transform one Origin Nucleus after another into the mouth of a spring that gushed out Origin Power. And after the Gushing Spring was the Spiritual Ocean, which was to transform the mouth of the spring into an endless sea of Origin Power.

Spiritual Pedestal, Flower Blossom, Spiritual Infant, Deity Transformation, Heaven Tier … the following tiers were all closely related to it. From this point alone, it could be said that Element Gathering Tier was the foundation of martial arts, and had extremely far-reaching implications.

Body Refining Tier only tempered one's flesh and blood, tendons and bones, while Element Gathering Tier opened up one's Dantian. It could be said that one had truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

Thus, cultivating the extreme level of the human body in Element Gathering Tier and reaching perfection would bring about lifelong benefits.

The problem was, that ancient almighty being had only mentioned a theoretical possibility, and had not actually done it himself. That was because he had only considered this problem after he had reached a very high tier. However, time could not be reversed, and he had to start cultivating from Element Gathering Tier all over again.

There was a huge gap in the martial arts of this continent, and a large number of pill recipes had also been lost. Presumably, some great calamity had happened in the era of that almighty being. In any case, this idea of his did not spread and was not put into practice, but was lost in the annals of history, until the handkerchief was discovered by Ling Han.

For Ling Han at that time, this handkerchief was of course useless, but who would have thought that his physical body would be shattered by the Black Tower, and his soul would be reborn in the body of a young man after ten thousand years, giving him a chance to start all over again.

"It's as if there is some mysterious will of the heavens." Ling Han rubbed his chin, looking a bit hesitant.

Forming the tenth nucleus was no joke. Nine was the extreme number, and that was an absolute balance. However, forcefully inserting the tenth nucleus would undoubtedly break this balance, and lead to a great calamity.

Otherwise, with so many elites and geniuses over the generations, how could none of them have thought of ten nuclei, or even twenty nuclei?

This naturally showed how difficult it was to take this step, or even impossible.

"Forget it, I'll think about it after I reach the peak period of the ninth layer." Ling Han shook his head, and no longer bothered thinking about this matter.

At noon, he received a piece of good news and a piece of bad news.

The good news was that Mo Gao had come out of seclusion, and had successfully advanced to Gushing Spring Tier.

"Congratulations on breaking through, Teacher Mo." After Ling Han sensed a powerful wave of Origin Power, he immediately rushed to Mo Gao's courtyard. Sure enough, he soon saw Mo Gao walk out from his room. Although he looked a bit sloppy, his spirit was shockingly strong.

"Hahahaha, after delaying it for more than ten years, I've finally broken through," Mo Gao said ruefully.

"I believe that with Teacher Mo's Heart of Sword Intent, you'll be able to easily cut through the obstacles of martial arts, and advance to a higher cultivation level," Ling Han said with a smile. This was not an exaggeration. With a Sword Heart that was close to forming, Mo Gao's future cultivation path would be smooth sailing. As the saying went, great talents mature slowly, and he was about to welcome a great explosion.

Mo Gao smiled. As a martial artist, how could he not desire to increase his cultivation level? It was just that in comparison, he was more passionate about the sword. Now that his Sword Heart was forming, his cultivation level was also increasing, so how could he not be satisfied?

"You, your cultivation level …" Mo Gao's expression suddenly changed. He pointed a finger at Ling Han, his face filled with astonishment.

Ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier

He suddenly felt like he was going to faint. Previously, when Ling Han had just arrived, he was only in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tier. But only a little more than a month had passed, and this guy had already advanced to the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier. It was very likely that it would not be long before Ling Han surpassed him.

What a freak.

Ling Han nodded, and said, "The advancement of my cultivation level is indeed a bit slow." He even sighed.

Showing off!

Even with Mo Gao's cultivation of Sword Heart, he could not help but want to burst out in profanity. This brat was really too good at showing off.

"Get lost," he said in exasperation.

Ling Han laughed loudly, then took his leave. Mo Gao had just broken through, so he needed some time to stabilize his cultivation level.

And the bad news was brought by Liu Yu Tong.

Actually, this news had long since been expected, but it had just arrived a bit too late.

The ready-made clothing stores that Ling Han had opened had all been robbed and destroyed the night before. Now, the doors of the stores had been smashed, and the clothes had either been robbed or torn to pieces. Not a single store was still open.

Obviously, this was the beginning of Chen Yun Xiang's — or rather, Sun Zi Yan's — counterattack.

Yesterday's peaceful mediation had failed, so they began to take action that very night. They had probably mobilized the power of the Earth and Water Faction. Those ruffians were naturally very skilled at doing this kind of thing.

"What do we do now?" Liu Yu Tong asked Ling Han.

"Since our opponents are not playing by the rules, then we can only use force." Ling Han smiled faintly.

Liu Yu Tong was shocked, and said, "You have to kill your way to the Chen Clan Residence. Sun Zi Yan will definitely be able to guess that the Chen Clan Residence will definitely be heavily guarded today, and there might even be the presence of the Imperial Guards. If you start a fight with the Imperial Guards, then no one will be able to save you! "

The Imperial Guards represented the Imperial Clan. Starting a fight with the Imperial Guards would be no different from starting a rebellion.

Ling Han broke into a grin, and said, "Since that grandson wants to play, then I'll play with him. Anyways, I have nothing to do now, so let's go to the Earth and Water Faction and deal with this lackey first."

Liu Yu Tong felt even more dizzy, and said, "The Sect Leader of the Earth and Water Faction, Yang Tian Du, is in the Spiritual Ocean Tier!"

"En, so we have to make a trip to the Heaven Military Hall first," Ling Han said with a smile.

Reading on one's phone was more refreshing
