The cold moonlight shone in front of the window, giving off a sense of tranquility and desolation. The moonlight in front of the window kept moving outwards, indicating the passing of time.
Just as the moonlight in front of the window was about to disappear completely, Ling Dong, who had been cultivating for the entire night, sighed softly and opened his eyes.
"Sigh … there's still no change. What exactly happened?" His pitch-black eyes were like starlight, but within the starlight, there was a sense of helplessness.
Ling Dong closed his eyes once again and began to inspect his Dantian with his inner vision.
Now that Ling Dong's cultivation had broken through to the Xiantian Realm, the situation in his energy center was clear to him.
Inside his energy center, there were two Constellation Stars, one big and one small, spinning slowly. The bigger one was a green Constellation Star. As it spun, it spat out dense green Gang Qi and absorbed small amounts of green Gang Qi. However, there was no increase in his cultivation level.
The smaller Constellation Star was the new golden-white Constellation Star that Ling Dong had obtained from cultivating the second level of the Heavenly Big Dipper Technique. As the Constellation Star spun, large patches of golden-white Gang Qi were faintly discernible. However, unlike the green Constellation Star, it didn't absorb the almost liquid Gang Qi in his energy center.
The energy center, which was originally empty apart from the Constellation Star, was now filled to the brim with green Gang Qi that was about to turn into liquid. This highly concentrated green Gang Qi outside of the Constellation Star was the result of Ling Dong's cultivation in the past half a year.
This was the Gang Qi that the green Constellation Star had absorbed during his cultivation. There was Gang Qi, but the green Constellation Star seemed to have reached its limit and couldn't contain any more Gang Qi. Ever since the green Constellation Star broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Two four months ago, it hadn't increased in the slightest!
That was the problem. Ever since Ling Dong had condensed the golden-white Combat Aura half a year ago, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't increase the size of the Combat Aura. This meant that he couldn't increase his cultivation level, let alone let it break through to Xiantian Realm Level Two.
According to the records of the Heavenly Big Dipper Technique, if two or more Constellation Stars couldn't increase their cultivation level to the same level, then the other Constellation Stars wouldn't improve.
In other words, if Ling Dong's Constellation Star couldn't reach Xiantian Realm Level Two, then the green Constellation Star in Ling's body would remain at Xiantian Realm Level Level Two for the rest of his life. no matter how much he cultivated it.
That was why Ling Dong's cultivation remained stagnant for the past four months as the golden-white Combat Aura was unable to increase his cultivation after the green Combat Aura broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Two.
What was even scarier was that if Ling Dong's Constellation Star couldn't increase, then Ling Dong's cultivation level would remain at Xiantian Realm Level Two for the rest of his life.
Ling Dong thought of many methods and found two to solve this problem.
The first method was to disperse his cultivation!
Risking serious injuries, he would use a secret technique to disperse the two Constellation Stars in his body and start cultivating again. After dispersing his cultivation, Ling Dong would need at least three years to recover his cultivation level.
This was under the condition that the process of dispersing his cultivation was extremely smooth. If there were any accidents, what awaited Ling Dong was either becoming a cripple or directly dying during the process.
The method of dispersing his cultivation couldn't be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
The second method was to go to Yaoguang City to find Liu Yaoguang. The golden-white Constellation Star in Ling Dong's body was different from the one in his previous life. It was a mutation of the mysterious cold air that Ling Dong absorbed from Liu Yaoguang.
Ling Dong believed that if he could find the source of the mysterious cold air from Liu Yaoguang, he might be able to solve the problem of his cultivation level not increasing.
The second method was also the reason why Ling Dong had to leave Nanshan County. Ling Dong didn't want his cultivation level to remain stagnant for the rest of his life. That was absolutely intolerable.
Actually, there was a third way to solve this problem. Ling Dong went back to the Ancient Secret Star Mansion where he found the complete version of the Big Dipper Technique in his previous life.
In fact, the Big Dipper Technique that Ling Dong was cultivating now might not be complete.
In his previous life, Ling Dong was hired to explore the Ancient Secret Star Mansion with a large group of people. There were two people who entered the Thousand Star Palace at the same time, Ling Dong and another Martial Artist.
The moment they entered the Thousand Star Palace, Ling Dong and the Martial Artist saw the secret manual placed in the middle of the palace. The two of them turned hostile in an instant. While they were fighting over the treasures, Ling Dong and the other cultivator realized that the treasures were actually two secret manuals stacked together.
Since there were people coming into the Thousand Star Palace at any time, Ling Dong and the Martial Artist reached a simple agreement. Each of them would get one secret manual. Ling Dong got the Big Dipper Technique, but Ling Dong didn't know what the Martial Artist got.
For a very long time, Ling Dong had always suspected that the compromise that time might have made the Big Dipper Technique incomplete. In fact, during the process of cultivation, Ling Dong also found a lot of problems. When he cultivated the Big Dipper Technique to the peak, there was no secret technique that was mentioned at all.
Therefore, Ling Dong always thought that the Big Dipper Technique he was cultivating was incomplete. In this life, he had to enter the Ancient Secret Star Mansion in advance and get the complete Big Dipper Technique.
If the incomplete Big Dipper Technique could give Ling Dong the strength to challenge the strongest people in the world, then what if he got the complete Big Dipper Technique?
Ling Dong was really looking forward to it.
Ling Dong's plan was to travel around the continent after the half year agreed with the Kuixing Pavilion was over. He would first explore the Ancient Secret Star Mansion where he got the Big Dipper Technique in his previous life and get the complete Big Dipper Technique.
However, due to the breakthrough in the Top Courtesan Competition and Liu Yaoguang's strange behavior when she got close to him, Ling Dong formed this golden-white Big Dipper Technique that was different from the one in his previous life.
The golden-white Big Dipper Technique's fierce attack and destructive power used to make Ling Dong very happy. But now, Ling Dong was very depressed. If only the strange behavior didn't happen and he could still form the green-white Big Dipper Technique.
"I have to leave now! If I can't improve my cultivation no matter what I do, I'll do it even if I have to disperse my cultivation! "After finishing his inner vision, Ling Dong suddenly stood up, his eyes full of determination.
After thinking for a while, Ling Dong didn't light the lamp. He just focused his eyesight and started to write a letter in the dark. With Ling Dong's current cultivation, as long as he ran his Gang Qi, the room with moonlight was no different from daytime.
Ling Dong was writing a letter to his father, Ling Yuanshan.
Ling Dong had already made arrangements for the Ling family's matters. With the three inferior-grade alchemists around, the Ling family's elixir business naturally wouldn't be a problem.
Ling Dong wasn't able to refine the elixir that his grandfather, Ling Yuefeng, used for cultivation at the Earth Realm. However, Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan, needed the Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill for his cultivation. In this short half a year, Ling Dong had used up all of the Ling Family's wealth to purchase medicinal herbs and Monster Cores, refining more than 20 bottles of Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pills for his father.
Ling Dong estimated that these twenty bottles of Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills would be enough for his father to consume for two years. In addition to the military wine supplied by Bai Jiu 'er, Ling Dong estimated that his father, Ling Yuanshan, wouldn't be far from Xiantian Realm Level Nine in two to three years, even if he wasn't at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine.
At that time, Ling Dong would find some time to return home and refine elixirs for his father to help him break through to the Earth Realm. As for the other members of the Ling family, such as Great Elder Ling Xuanfeng and Ling Tieshan, they wouldn't even think about the elixirs that Ling Dong personally refined.
It was already good enough for them to be able to consume a few ordinary elixirs refined by the inferior-grade alchemists that Ling Dong nurtured every month. In addition to the income from the crystal mine, the crystals were doubled in supply. This treatment was already very good.
In the letter, Ling Dong explained his whereabouts and the time of his return. He also asked Ling Yuanshan to take care of Bai Jiu 'er and her husband for the time being, and so on.
"Son Ling Dong kowtows a hundred times and presents it to you!" After writing these words, Ling Dong's eyes suddenly became warm. In this world, the most difficult thing to give up was probably family.
After placing the letter in a conspicuous place, Ling Dong simply packed up. He put on a Xiantian Middle-grade battle armor that he bought a few days ago and covered it with a light blue warrior suit. He also carried the Xiantian Middle-grade sword that he snatched from Zuo Guangtian on his back. Then, Ling Dong went out.
Ling Dong had already prepared the gold and silver needed for the journey, including the tent and other necessities, and stored them in his Universe Ring a few days ago. Therefore, Ling Dong didn't need to prepare anything. He simply carried a simple bag for disguise and left.
When he passed by Ling Yuanshan's house, the sky was slightly bright. Hearing the sound of exhalation in the courtyard, Ling Dong knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the courtyard door. Then, he left without looking back.
Leaving the Ling family didn't mean that Ling Dong could leave South Mountain Commandery right away.
Ling Dong needed to go to the Kuixing Pavilion first. Although the Kuixing Pavilion didn't extend the deadline for Ling Dong to leave South Mountain Commandery, Ling Dong still decided to go and inform them in order to avoid any beautiful misunderstandings.
When Ling Dong arrived at the Kuixing Pavilion, the door had just been opened. A group of handymen were sweeping outside the pavilion. Even the guards at the door were warming up by practicing martial arts.
When these people saw Ling Dong, they didn't stop him. Ling Dong went upstairs. In the past six months, Ling Dong had almost become a frequent visitor of the Kuixing Pavilion.
He went up to the third floor of the Kuixing Pavilion and waited for a while. However, no maid came to greet him. Recently, Ling Dong had been upset because of the lack of progress in his cultivation.
"Ziyao? Ziyao? Ziyao? "Ling Dong simply shouted and went to the attic inside the Kuixing Pavilion.
"Who is it? It's so early in the morning …" A somewhat lazy voice sounded as the door opened.
Then, Ling Dong saw Zi Yao. She was wearing a milky white silk nightgown with small purple floral patterns. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she looked like a lazy beauty. What was particularly eye-catching was her firm chest, which straightened the hem of her silk nightgown.
"Ah … Why are you up here?" Zi Yao screamed and slammed the door shut. She shrank back into her room.
Ling Dong shook his head innocently. "You sleep too much, okay? How can a martial artist wake up so late? "
"What are you doing here?" After a few breaths, Zi Yao's door opened slightly.
"Oh, I'm leaving South Mountain Commandery. I'm here to tell you," Ling Dong said.
"You're leaving?" Zi Yao looked at Ling Dong suspiciously and asked, "What are you going to do? Where are you going?"
Ling Dong was stunned. "This shouldn't be within the scope of the Kuixing Pavilion's jurisdiction, right?"
"I'm in charge. Of course, I have the right to interfere!" Zi Yao said rudely.
"Uh … I'm going out. Of course, it's to gain experience! My first stop is naturally Two World City, and then I'll leave from there! "Ling Dong said casually. After all, it was not a secret.
"Two World City … Oh, I know. You can go now! Bang! "Zi Yao slammed the door again.
Ling Dong smiled and walked away briskly!
