In the wee hours of the morning.
An Sheng and the others had finally completed the outline of the Big City-Guarding Formation outside Ruan Feng City. Just as everyone was cheering, An Sheng led his junior brothers and sisters to Yang Fan's small courtyard and waited respectfully for Yang Fan to get up and join the formation.
Tu Haoyan used the excuse of changing his clothes to quietly leave the crowd and return to his bedroom.
He closed the door and set up a restriction. Then, he carefully took out the Territorial Master Token, cut his finger, and squeezed out a drop of blood essence before fusing it with it.
Then, the Territorial Master Token vibrated, and a red light flickered. In an instant, a spatial door that was suffused with a bloody light opened 1 meter in front of Tu Haoyan.
The door was not big and was only 1 meter square. However, the laws were restrained, and it was very hidden. Even if Tu Haoyan had advanced to a half-step Ruler, he did not notice any spatial fluctuations around the spatial door at such a close distance.
"I didn't feel anything strange when my cultivation was low. Now that I've advanced to a half-step Ruler, I'm actually still unable to notice the fluctuations of the laws. That's very interesting.
"Could it be that the space cave that my ancestor discovered actually has a great background?"
A trace of doubt and shock arose in Tu Haoyan's heart.
Looking at the spatial door that did not have any fluctuations of the laws, he could not help but think of the situation when he witnessed the sudden appearance of the Thunder Emperor and the Spirit Emperor in Yang Fan's room for the first time yesterday evening.
It was just as silent, just as undetectable, just as unfathomable, just as unfathomably powerful.
"Such a spatial door that's not inferior to the methods of a True Emperor. I really don't know how the ancestor discovered and opened it back then."
Tu Haoyan shook his head slightly. He noticed that the spatial door in front of him was constantly weakening and fading. He did not dare to waste any more time. With a flash of thought, he directly shrank his body and flashed into it.
The interior of the space was a cave.
There was not enough light, but unexpectedly, it did not feel dark and oppressive at all.
On the contrary, the air in the cave was pleasant, and spiritual Qi was dense. The ceiling of the cave was inlaid with some unknown fine gemstones, and they constantly emitted a faint blue light.
Tu Haoyan took a deep breath and felt that all the pores on his body were relaxing and unobstructing.
This wasn't the first time he had come here, but he still couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of spiritual power in this cave.
Compared to the Emperor Perish phenomenon that had just ended yesterday, it was still much weaker, but it had already far exceeded the normal concentration of spirit energy after the 15th spirit energy tide.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was too inconceivable.
According to the Patriarch, he had discovered this cave abode more than a hundred years ago when the third spiritual energy tide erupted.
It was hard to imagine that during the third spirit energy tide, the Origin Planet already had a cave dwelling with such an astonishing concentration of spirit energy.
Moreover, it was even more unimaginable that their ancestor's cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the Half-step Monarch Realm after cultivating for so long within such an abode that was filled with spirit energy.
"From the looks of it, our Tu family's genes aren't very optimistic. The Old Ancestor is like this, I'm like this, and so are the children of my Tu family."
"If we don't rely on external forces and just rely on our own comprehension, then our entire family might not have the chance to break through to the Half-Step Monarch Realm or even the True Emperor Realm in our entire lives."
Tu Haoyan walked in and sighed with regret in his heart. He was worried about the future of his Tu family.
After guarding this abode for a hundred years, not a single Half-Step Monarch Realm expert had appeared in his Tu family. This was sufficient to explain many problems, right?
The cave abode was very deep.
Just the entrance passage was almost 20 meters long. Because the Patriarch had set down various restrictions, it was utterly impossible to directly tear through the air and enter, and he could only move forward slowly step by step.
Basically, the Territory Lord Token in Tu Haoyan's hand would light up every three to five meters to avoid the restrictions before him.
After spending almost a minute, Tu Haoyan finally walked through the passage that was over 20 meters long, and then he smoothly entered an even more spacious and bright cave abode.
The cave abode was spacious and bright, and it had a stone table, stone chair, stone bed, and all kinds of daily necessities.
At the center of the cave abode was an enormous stone round platform that was around 10 meters in diameter. The round platform seemed to be the place where the Spirit Energy of the entire cave abode converged. The Spirit Energy was extraordinarily abundant, and it even showed signs of turning into dew.
At this moment.
There were three people sitting upright on the round platform, and they were absorbing the Spirit Energy and Spirit Mist in the surroundings.
Seeming to have noticed that someone had stepped into the cave abode, the three people who were cultivating in meditation stopped absorbing the Spirit Mist at the same time when Tu Haoyan slowly approached the round platform. They slowly opened their eyes and swept their gazes towards Tu Haoyan.
"Eh?"
The white bearded old man in the lead suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Haoyan, you've actually broken through to the Half-step Monarch Realm?"
"That shouldn't be the case." A female Ancestor seated on the left was extremely surprised as well. "With your natural talent, it's already the limit for you to advance into the peak of the Emperor Realm. How could you have possibly broken through to the Half-step Monarch Realm?"
The middle aged Ancestor seated on the right who seemed to be slightly younger raised his brows and said, "He isn't just at the Half-step Monarch Realm. Based on the accumulation of vital blood within his body, he's clearly at the intermediate stage of the Half-step Monarch Realm."
"Kid, the last time you came here should have been a year ago. At that time, you were still at the peak of the Emperor Realm and hadn't broken through. How could you have already attained the intermediate stage of the Half-step Monarch Realm in just a year? Your speed of improvement is really swift!"
"You probably encountered some sort of extraordinary fortuitous encounter and fortune, right? Otherwise, with your natural talent and natural talent, you can dream of breaking through even if you stay in this cave abode for your entire lifetime. "
The gazes of the three Ancestors became extremely fervent at the same time, and they raised their heads to look at Tu Haoyan.
He'd used less than a year to successfully break through, and he was even able to accumulate the vital blood within his body to the intermediate stage of the Half-step Monarch Realm. Such fortuitous encounter and fortune was definitely extraordinary.
The corners of Tu Haoyan's mouth twitched.
This was the reason why he wasn't willing to come over to see these three Ancestors.
Their mouths were too venomous, and they didn't give him any face at all.
Every time he came to visit the three Ancestors and brought them various resources and daily necessities, he'd always come in high spirits and return in disappointment. Moreover, he'd always left with an icy heart.
The Ancestors felt that his natural talent was insufficient, and he'd pulled down the limits of the Tu Clan's genes.
Why didn't they reflect on themselves properly? They'd cultivated in closed door cultivation for almost 100 years in this cave abode that was filled with such dense spirit energy, yet they were still stuck at the peak of the Half-step Monarch Realm. So, how good could their natural talent be?
If the upper beam was crooked, then how could the lower beam not be crooked?
"Ancestors, I was fortunate enough to break through half a month ago. I've been consolidating my cultivation during this period of time, so I didn't have the time to report the good news to you."
Tu Haoyan took a deep breath, but still patiently and obediently reported to the three Ancestors.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three Ancestors on the round platform shook their heads at the same time to display their disbelief.
"Little Hao Yan, even you've started to learn how to lie and deceive us?"
"Do you think we're idiots? How could we possibly believe such a brainless trick of yours?"
"You just broke through half a month ago. Why don't you say that you just broke through yesterday?"
"Yeah, how could that be possible? How could you have possibly directly stepped into the mid-rank of the Half-step Monarch Realm from the initial-stage in half a month of time? "
"Do you know that even your Ancestor, I, was extremely talented all those years ago, and it took around 10 years of time to cultivate from the initial-stage of the Half-step Monarch Realm to the mid-rank of the Half-step Monarch Realm."
The other two Ancestors nodded and chimed in.
"It isn't that we look down on you. It's just that you're extremely lucky to be able to break through with such trash natural talent. So, how could your speed of advancement possibly be so swift?"
"Little Hao Yan, you're becoming more and more disobedient. You should be honest with us and tell us exactly what fortuitous encounters you've encountered in the outside world so that we can help you analyze it so as to avoid wasting such a good fortuitous encounter because of your lack of knowledge."
Tu Haoyan's heart felt cold once more. He knew that such an outcome would occur. These three Ancestors had never been reliable, yet they'd actually started to think about his fortuitous encounters now.
"Hao Yan doesn't dare deceive the three Ancestors. I really did just break through half a month ago."
Tu Haoyan's voice started to become slightly cold and indifferent.
"As for fortuitous encounters, can I be considered to have taken an 18 year old Young Master as a fortuitous encounter?"
"The reason I was able to successfully break through and advance into the Half-step Monarch Realm was because of this Young Master's help."
"My Master awakened a special Innate Divine Ability that allows his disciples to disregard the restrictions of the Grand Dao and directly break through the peak of the Half-step Monarch Realm."
"Hao Yan came here this time to ask the three Ancestors to take a master and break through into the Half-step Monarch Realm!"
Tu Haoyan directly revealed the reason for his arrival.
As a result, the three Ancestors on the round platform were angered to the point of laughing when they heard this, and the white bearded Ancestor who led the group had a gloomy expression on his face as he berated fiercely.
"Little Hao Yan, do you think that you've grown wings and can disregard the dignity of the three Ancestors just because you've broken through into the Half-step Monarch Realm?"
"You actually dared to deceive us with a lie that we used to deceive a three year old child. Do you really think that we can't do anything to you just because you've broken through into the Half-step Monarch Realm? You really refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! "
"Second Brother, Third Brother, what're all of you standing there for? Seal him and search his soul!"
"I want to know exactly what's going on outside. Even that bastard Tu Haoyan has started to intend to lure us out!"
As soon as the white bearded old man gave the order, the two Ancestors below him stopped hesitating, and their Spiritual Wills shot out at the same time. One restrained Tu Haoyan's figure while the other forcefully tore open Tu Haoyan's sea of consciousness and entered it.
The pitiful Tu Haoyan didn't even have the time to react before he was forcefully restrained by the two Ancestors.
Within his sea of consciousness, Tu Haoyan's soul struggled violently, and he questioned in a loud voice. "Why? Ancestor Tongfu, why are you doing this to me? I really didn't deceive you! "
"It's not important anymore, my good grandson." The middle aged Ancestor that Tu Haoyan addressed as Ancestor Tongfu grinned within Tu Haoyan's sea of consciousness and said, "I'll find out whether you deceived us or not later."
"Be good and stop putting up pointless resistance. Your strength at the mid-rank Half-step Monarch Realm isn't sufficient at all."
"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle. In any case, it's not the first time."
"After I search your soul, this Ancestor will wipe away this memory within your sea of consciousness. You won't notice anything after that, and the relationship between us will still be harmonious and friendly as before. I guarantee it!"
