Chapter 329: Yan Canghai's Unyielding Spirit, Returning to the Village

September 2nd, 2024

"Has Father broken through to the Primordial Realm?"

Wei Zian also sensed this aura and exclaimed in delight.

A group of people immediately rushed to the backyard, arriving at Wei Xinghe's secluded cultivation chamber.

At this moment, the Primordial Qi of heaven and earth was gathering, and the rules of the world were manifesting. The powerful aura of the Primordial Realm was emanating, causing ripples in the air.

This was the extraordinary phenomenon of a cultivator breaking through to the Primordial Realm.

At the same time, other powerful cultivators in the city also sensed the aura of Wei Xinghe's breakthrough.

Their faces were filled with astonishment.

"This ripple, is it that Master Wei finally breaking through and entering the Primordial Realm?"

"It must be. Wei Xinghe has been stuck at the Martial Dao Master Realm for over a decade. It's about time for his breakthrough."

"Another Primordial Realm cultivator, two in the same family. This Wei family is becoming more and more formidable."

"They were already formidable to begin with. Could you have ignored that Ancestor Wei before?"

"Let's just savor this aura. Breaking through to the Primordial Realm is an extremely rare occurrence.

If we can comprehend even a fraction of its mysteries, perhaps our cultivation will advance further."

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

The handsome City Lord, Yan Canghai, gazed in the direction of the Wei family, looking somewhat dazed.

"Has Wei Xinghe broken through as well?"

"Two years ago, I witnessed the Primordial Battle between Doctor Chen and Wang Cangyi, and it inspired me to enter the Martial Dao Master Realm.

But two years have passed, and I still haven't been able to condense my Divine Soul Force.

I haven't found the opportunity to break through to the Primordial Realm.

But this Wei Xinghe has managed to open the Primordial Gate, draw in the Primordial Qi, and achieve the Primordial Body.

I have the backing of the royal family, abundant resources, and a confident talent.

Why is my cultivation path so difficult?"

Yan Canghai's eyes held a hint of unwillingness.

Ever since he entered the peak of the Post-Natal Realm and became a Martial Dao Master two years ago, he had changed his carefree personality and dedicated himself to arduous cultivation, even reducing his drinking significantly.

But in return, two years had passed without any progress in his cultivation.

Except for a more refined control over his power.

As for the mysterious Divine Soul Force, he had not made any headway.

There wasn't even the slightest sign of condensing it.

Now, seeing Wei Xinghe, who was also a Martial Dao Master, successfully manipulating the Primordial Qi, drawing it into his body, and achieving the Primordial Body, was a huge stimulus for him.

"Perhaps I should seek another path."

A hint of determination suddenly appeared on Yan Canghai's face.

Not long ago, he had received a report from the guards at the city gate, stating that the young master of the Wei family and his teacher, Ma Gu, had returned from their journey.

Along with them was a large carriage pulled by two exotic steed horses.

"With Wei Zian and Ma Gu's cultivation, the Wei family would never allow them to travel freely.

Those two inside the carriage must be the ones from before."

Lu Qing's face appeared in Yan Canghai's mind, along with the advice his good friend Lin Zhirui had given him.

After some thought, he finally decided to take a chance.

"Zian, Uncle Ma, you two can savor the aura of Master Wei's breakthrough. It will be greatly beneficial for your cultivation."

In the backyard of the Wei Manor, Lu Qing spoke.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Ma Gu and Wei Zian immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, entering a meditative state to thoroughly sense the ripples of the Primordial Qi emanating from the front.

Even Hu Zezhi closed her eyes and carefully tried to comprehend the aura.

As time passed, the Primordial Qi fluctuations in the front became increasingly intense.

"Xinghe is about to condense the Primordial Body."

Just as Wei Shanhai's words fell, the gathered Primordial Qi in the front suddenly started rushing towards a specific point.

Wei Xinghe's aura was rapidly rising.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Xinghe's aura reached a peak and stabilized.

"He succeeded!"

A joyful expression appeared on Wei Shanhai's face.

With the successful condensation of the Primordial Body, Wei Xinghe officially stepped into the Primordial Realm, becoming a Primordial Realm cultivator.

From then on, the Wei family had two Primordial Realm cultivators.

In these uncertain times of heavenly changes, they had gained a bit of security.

Just as Wei Xinghe successfully condensed the Primordial Body and formally entered the Primordial Realm, a few light sounds suddenly echoed again.

Ma Gu, Wei Zian, and Hu Zezhi's bodies simultaneously experienced fluctuations in their auras.

They had all broken through at the same time.

Among them, Ma Gu broke through to the Small Achievement of the Viscera Realm, while Wei Zian reached the peak of the Sinew Bone Realm.

As for Hu Zezhi, who had originally been in the Qi Blood Realm, she officially entered the Sinew Bone Realm.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.

After days of adjustment and cooperation, the Primordial Energy within Ma Gu and the others has largely merged with their bodies.

The three's talents have also been greatly enhanced.

Now, stimulated by the heavenly rules fluctuation caused by Wei Xinghe's entry into the Primordial Realm, their breakthrough was only natural.

On the contrary, Wei Shanhai was a little astonished to see the trio's breakthrough.

Earlier, due to the jade talismans engraved by Lu Qing that Ma Gu and the others wore, Wei Shanhai couldn't clearly sense their specific cultivation.

Moreover, as his attention was focused on Lu Qing and the old doctor at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, seeing Ma Gu and the others' breakthrough, he suddenly realized that in just a few months, Ma Gu and Wei Zian's cultivation had advanced significantly.

Their progress was so rapid that it had reached a somewhat terrifying level.

"It seems that Lu Qing and the others' trip to Zhongzhou was far more complex than what Zian mentioned earlier."

Wei Xinghe thought to himself.

He was well aware of Ma Gu and Wei Zian's talents.

Under normal circumstances, even with several more years, it would be impossible for them to make such progress.

Yet, their current cultivation speed rivaled that of geniuses, and there must be another reason for this.

Boom!

Just as Wei Shanhai was astonished, the stone door slowly opened at the place where Wei Xinghe had been in seclusion.

A figure emerged, vigorous and radiant.

It could only be Wei Xinghe.

"Husband!"

Wei Lady excitedly approached him.

"Haha, why are you here, my lady?"

Wei Xinghe felt very refreshed at this moment, and seeing his beloved wife made him even happier.

"Not bad, I've finally entered the Primordial Realm."

Wei Shanhai nodded in relief.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for coming to be my Guardian."

When Wei Xinghe condensed his body into a Primordial Realm physique and officially entered the Primordial Realm, he sensed the Ancestor's aura.

After all, the Primordial Realm contains a special innate intent, and as long as they weren't too far apart, they could easily sense each other.

"Congratulations, Wei Family Head, on successfully entering the Primordial Realm."

At this moment, Lu Qing also walked up and said with a smile.

"Lu Qing, Doctor Chen, how are you two here as well?"

Only then did Wei Xinghe notice Lu Qing and the old doctor, and he was greatly surprised.

Because earlier, when he was in the secret room, he hadn't sensed their presence at all.

"We returned in the morning, but since you were in seclusion, we didn't disturb you," Lu Qing explained.

Wei Xinghe stared at Lu Qing in a daze.

Because he found that even now, standing right in front of him, he still couldn't detect Lu Qing's aura.

If he hadn't seen Lu Qing's figure with his own eyes, he would have thought that there was only a clump of air in front of him.

This bizarre situation immediately made Wei Xinghe realize that even though he had already entered the Primordial Realm, he was still quite inexperienced compared to Lu Qing and the old doctor.

He couldn't even see through their true strength.

Unconsciously, Wei Xinghe's heart, which had been a little proud because of his breakthrough, immediately calmed down.

He understood that the world was vast, and there were countless stronger cultivators than him.

He had just entered the Primordial Realm and was far from being qualified to be arrogant.

Wei Shanhai, standing beside him, saw the expression on Wei Xinghe's face and nodded with some satisfaction.

The reason he hadn't reminded him earlier was that he wanted Wei Xinghe to understand that there are always people stronger than oneself, and that there's always a higher mountain.

Achieving the Primordial Realm was just the beginning of becoming a true powerhouse.

If one became arrogant because of this, they would suffer greatly in the future.

"Dad!"

At this moment, Wei Zian, who had already completed his breakthrough, jumped up from the ground.

"Zian's back too."

Wei Xinghe's face showed relief as he saw his younger son, who had become much more robust.

"Dad, with your help in understanding the Qi Mechanism, my cultivation and Master's have also broken through."

Wei Zian said happily.

"Is that so? That's great. It seems that you've been diligent in following Lu Qing and the others on this trip, and you haven't been slacking off," Wei Xinghe nodded.

With his mind still shaken by Lu Qing, and not yet fully recovered, he didn't notice the strangeness in his son's words.

Wei Xinghe's breakthrough naturally brought joy to the entire Wei Manor.

The various major forces in the city also sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts, celebrating the Wei Family Head's achievement of the Primordial Realm.

For a while, the entire Wei Manor was bustling with excitement.

Amidst this commotion, Lu Qing, the old doctor, and the others slowly left the county town.

"Miss Hu, actually, you and Uncle Hu should stay in the county town. There's no need to follow us.

Nine Mile Village is located in a remote area and is just a poor mountain village. I'm afraid you and Uncle Hu won't be accustomed to living there.

"Lu Qing drove the carriage, speaking to the carriage behind him.

Ma Gu and Wei Zian's homes were both in the city, and they needed to stay at home for a few days. The two Dragon Blood Steeds were difficult to control, so Lu Qing had to drive the carriage himself.

Originally, he wanted to arrange a place for Hu Zezhi and her father to stay in the city.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zezhi refused and expressed her desire to follow Lu Qing and leave.

"Although the county town is good, my father and I are unfamiliar with the place, and we probably won't be able to adapt to living there."

"Don't worry, Lu Gongzi, Zezhi has also experienced hardships since she was young, and she can endure it," Hu Zezhi said softly.

In fact, she was quite curious about the village where Lu Qing and Xiao Yan lived. She really wanted to see what kind of village it was that could nurture a person like Lu Qing, a dragon among men.

Of course, there were also some thoughts deep in her heart that a girl like her couldn't share with others.

As for Hu Laosan, he would definitely not object.

After witnessing the incredible abilities of Lu Qing and the old doctor, even a fool would know that following them would be a rare opportunity.

With Hu Zezhi's insistence, Lu Qing naturally couldn't persuade her further.

After all, Nine Mile Village wasn't too far from the county town.

If Hu Zezhi and her father really couldn't adapt to living there, leaving would be a simple matter.

"Brother, Xiao Li has been sleeping for so long, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's worried voice came from inside the carriage.

"I've already checked, Xiao Li's body is currently undergoing a metamorphosis.

Don't worry, it's fine. In a few more days, it should wake up," Lu Qing reassured her.

Ever since it absorbed a strand of Primordial Energy in the Holy City, Xiao Li had been in a deep slumber.

Even during their journey, it hadn't woken up once.

Every day, Lu Qing used his extraordinary ability to check on Xiao Li's condition, discovering that it was undergoing a crucial metamorphosis.

Moreover, its physical condition was also stable, with no issues.

So he didn't interfere and force it to wake up.

Instead, he became somewhat expectant, wondering what changes would occur after Xiao Li's metamorphosis was complete.

The Wind Riding Cart sped along at an incredible pace.

Even without Lu Qing deliberately increasing its speed, it wasn't long before they could see Nine Mile Village in the distance.

As he gazed at the familiar scenery on both sides, Lu Qing deactivated the array on the carriage and slowed down the cart.

"Brother, are we almost there?" Xiao Yan asked, sensing the carriage's deceleration.

"Yes, we're almost home," Lu Qing replied.

Xiao Yan immediately lifted the front carriage curtain and poked her head out.

Then she saw the familiar scenery outside, especially the familiar stream outside the village.

Her eyes widened in surprise, "Really, Grandpa Chen, we're returning to the village!"

The old doctor also looked out from the carriage window, taking in the outside scenery.

He, too, felt a surge of emotion.

Although their trip this time wasn't too long, just a few months, a lot had happened during that period.

So, seeing that they were about to return to the village, he couldn't help but feel sentimental.

The cart slowly made its way forward, and Lu Qing leisurely enjoyed the scenery he hadn't seen for months.

At the same time, he was sensing the changes in the surrounding Heaven and Earth.

He discovered that after a few months, the Heaven and Earth Qi around Nine Mile Village had indeed become denser, just as Wei Shanhai had said.

Although it still couldn't compare to the Central Plains, it was sufficient for his and his master's daily cultivation needs.

After all, both he and his master were only at the Qi Condensation Realm.

Moreover, as time passed, the Heaven and Earth Qi would become even denser.

It wouldn't hinder their cultivation.

The cart clattered along the road, eventually reaching the entrance of Nine Mile Village.

Such a noticeable commotion naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.

Immediately, some villagers came out to investigate.

When a villager saw the two tall and mighty Dragon Blood Steeds in front of the carriage and sensed the majestic aura emanating from them, his legs trembled, and his heart pounded.

He knew that only an extraordinary person could control such a beast and carriage.

Unfortunately, due to the angle and the obstruction of the horses, he couldn't immediately see the driver's appearance.

As the villager pondered whether to go to the Wei family's other courtyard to inform them, a small figure suddenly jumped down from the carriage.

Running towards the village with outstretched arms, the figure shouted excitedly, "Uncle Zhang, Xiao Yan is back!"

"It's Xiao Yan!" the villager exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.
