684: Chapter 680: The Name on the Seal?
The Wind Flow Strength practiced by the Ding brothers was actually a technique somewhat closer to traditional Inner Strength.
Although it did include some instances of reversed and stagnant meridians, these were not too frequent.
Hence, biting back their pain, the Ding brothers eventually succeeded in mastering it.
However, “Xuan Yun Technique” was different.
It was a level above Wind Flow Strength.
During its cultivation, the number of instances of reversed meridians and forced stops were countless, and each instance was a crucial gateway in the cultivation process of Ye Xuong—not to be taken lightly!
Even Ye Tian himself fell unconscious for three days and nights when he practiced it, let alone Ye Xuong…
“Ye Xuong, are you risking your life to become stronger, or will you choose to give up and live in self-degradation?
The choice is yours.
In my Night King Hall, I need soldiers who can fight on the battlefield, not cowards!”
Ye Tian spoke solemnly, and Ye Xuong clenched his fists immediately!
“Boss, rest assured, I, Ye Xuong, will definitely not let you down!”
With this, Ye Xuong managed to suppress the pain in his body and sat down cross-legged on the grass.
The Ding brothers sat beside Ye Xuong, watching over him…
As for Ye Tian, he did not assist Ye Xuong any further but silently watched on.
He believed in Ye Xuong’s abilities, confident that he could master the technique of Xuan Yun Technique!
After briefly regulating the inner breath in his body, Ye Xuong finally mustered the courage to circulate the internal energy.
Ye Tian had just circulated his energy through Ye Xuong’s body once completly, allowing Ye Xuong to familiarize himself with the flow of Xuan Yun Technique.
Thus, biting back pain, Ye Xuong followed the direction indicated by Ye Tian, circulating the meridians inside his body…
Of course, for Ye Xuong, using such an unusual method to channel his energy was not an easy task, and he occasionally felt pain during its circulation.
The meridians reversed, pain penetrating deep into the marrow!
This kind of agony could only be felt during the practice of Xuan Yun Technique!
“Ye Xuong, don’t fear the pain.
If you are afraid of the pain, there’s no way to cultivate the Xuan Yun Technique!
More importantly, do not change the rhythm of stops and reverse flow of meridians on your own!”
Ye Tian earnestly instructed, using his clairvoyant ability to constantly monitor the flow of breath inside Ye Xuong’s body, correcting him whenever it differed from the pathway of Xuan Yun Technique.
“…”
Ye Xuong had indeed heard Ye Tian’s words.
He dared not contradict Ye Tian, and, enduring the pain and discomfort inside his body, he let the energy wander within.
It was only when he began practicing Xuan Yun Technique that Ye Xuong realized why Ye Tian, the boss of Night King Hall, had not immediately taught the warriors of Night King Hall after mastering it himself.
There was a reason.
The training method of Xuan Yun Technique was too prone to demonic deviation.
If even Ye Tian found it difficult, what would it be like for him…
If he himself suffered such unbearable pain during the practice of Xuan Yun Technique, then what about other warriors slightly weaker than him?
Surely it was even more difficult.
“Wow!”
Though Ye Xuong endured the pain, the physical toll of practicing Xuan Yun Technique was beyond words.
So, even though Ye Xuong had a determined will, his body simply couldn’t take it anymore…
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Ye Xuong’s mouth!
“Quickly infuse him with energy!”
Upon seeing this, Ding Da immediately told his two siblings.
The Ding brothers then placed their palms on Ye Xuong’s body, continuously infusing him with a steady stream of energy.
Ye Xuong, who had nearly fainted from the blood loss, finally regained consciousness.
This was already the second time Ye Xuong had coughed up blood during his cultivation of Xuan Yun Technique.
The first time was when Ye Tian was demonstrating with his energy inside his body, and the second time was during his own practice.
No matter what, Ye Xuong’s body had exceeded its limits, so continuing the practice could endanger his life!
“Ye Xuong, let’s stop for today!
Rest well and continue practicing tomorrow!
Remember, in cultivating the force of nature, haste makes waste.
You must be free from desires, advancing step by step!”
Seeing that Ye Xuong’s body was already unfit for practicing Xuan Yun Technique, Ye Tian said.
Ye Xuong helplessly replied, “Boss, I’m truly sorry, I’ve let you down this time!”
Ye Tian laughed, “This technique isn’t easy to cultivate.
You’ve just started and have already grasped the essentials, which is quite an accomplishment.
Just keep it up, and you’re sure to become a master!”
“Yes!”
Ye Tian’s words inspired Ye Xuong, who immediately yelled excitedly.
However, even though Ye Xuong’s body had temporarily recovered, in his current condition, he naturally couldn’t continue investigating who had poisoned Zhang Bo’s food.
Therefore, the investigation had to be left to Dracula, the one Ye Tian trusted most…
“Rest assured, Boss!
I will certainly find out the truth quickly!”
Dracula left on his mission.
For this top warrior from Romania, Ye Tian was quite reassured.
The main task in Night King Hall now was to get Ye Xuong to quickly master the Xuan Yun Technique.
Not only would this enhance the combat power of Night King Hall, but it would also set an example for the other warriors.
If Ye Xuong could cultivate the force of nature, then other warriors could naturally do the same!
However, even if all the warriors in Night King Hall mastered the Xuan Yun Technique, Ye Tian still did not believe they could defeat the Sima Family.
Because the three Inner Sect Disciples of the Sima Family, Sima Yun, Sima Feng, and Sima Kuan, had all cultivated the force of nature from a young age and had not cultivated any other Inner Strength.
Like painting on a blank canvas, the force of nature of these three not only made their cultivation unbound by traditional martial arts, making difficult barriers easy to conquer, but also made the cultivated force of nature pure and even more powerful!
How exactly to deal with the Sima Family was a challenging problem in front of Ye Tian!
Of course, although Ye Tian’s attention was on Ye Xuong, he could not always stay at the headquarters manor of Night King Hall, because Ye Tian himself also needed to continuously enhance his strength.
For Ye Tian, the only opportunity to enhance his own strength was in the underground water vein below the pedestrian street square in Jiangcheng, within which was hidden a Spirit Vein even the Sima Family dreamt of obtaining.
The Spirit Vein was a glowing red gemstone, and although it did not look significant, the power it contained was beyond description.
In order to defeat the Sima Family, Ye Tian must absorb as much of the force of nature from the Spirit Vein as possible…
After leaving the manor, Ye Tian immediately headed to the pedestrian street square in Jiangcheng.
It was already late at night, and the stores on the pedestrian street had long since closed, but the underground parking lot was open, as many vehicles were parked there.
Ye Tian quietly arrived at the parking lot, found the same stone door he had entered through last time to the underground spiral staircase, and seeing no one around and that it was a blind spot for the cameras, gently pushed it open.
The stone door opened, and Ye Tian went in.
Following the downward spiral staircase, Ye Tian reached the bottom, where another stone door appeared before him.
On the stone door, there was a seal from the municipal department…
“Huh?”
Using his exceptional night vision, Ye Tian saw this seal.
Normally, he would have destroyed the seal, but today, he saw that the seal was once again intact.
This meant that someone had discovered the seal had been broken, and then resealed it…
Ye Tian’s hand rested on the stone door, and he appeared hesitant.
If the seal had been reapplied, it meant that the people from the municipal department knew that someone had opened the stone door and entered the underground water vein.
But why was there no one watching or ambushing here?
Could it be that they were so sure that the stone door would not be opened again?
While Ye Tian was puzzled, he suddenly noticed three words written on the seal—
Yi Zhongyuan!
“Who is this person?”
Ye Tian felt confused.
Was it the name of an employee from the municipal department?
Why did this person deliberately leave their own name on the seal?
What was the intention?
Was it a warning to him?
Or was it just someone idly writing their name?
Ye Tian shook his head.
Since the person could seal this place, they were certainly no pushover; how could they be so frivolous?
Therefore, Ye Tian could almost conclude that these three words were written for him to see!
“Heh heh~~~ this just got interesting!”
Ye Tian smiled, finding the situation of not being able to determine whether it was a friend or foe exceedingly intriguing!
Therefore, Ye Tian no longer bothered to push open the stone door and find the Spirit Vein in the underground water vein to cultivate.
Right now, he had a more important matter to attend to!
Ye Tian also wished to meet this person who had signed their name on the seal!
He then returned the same way he came, encountering no obstacles on his journey, and went straight back to the villa he shared with Yun Xinyan.
Since it was already early morning, Ye Tian took special care to be quiet when he got home, not wanting to awaken his wife, Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan was indeed asleep and had not noticed Ye Tian’s return.
Ye Tian did not disturb Yun Xinyan further and sat on the sofa to cultivate for a while before falling asleep there.
The next morning, Yun Xinyan got up early and, seeing Ye Tian asleep on the sofa, was instantly upset!
“Ye Tian, you should have at least told me when you came back!
Like this, who knows if you’ve returned?
Do you know how worried I was?”
Although she was scolding Ye Tian for coming back late, Ye Tian, seeing Yun Xinyan’s flush-faced expression, knew there was more to her words.
Having just prayed to Guanyin for a child, how could Ye Tian not understand Yun Xinyan’s thoughts?
His dearest wife wanted to get pregnant soon, and by not waking her up when he returned, Yun Xinyan had missed an opportunity, which naturally made her somewhat angry.
“My dear wife!
Please don’t be angry, okay?
I promise, whenever I have the time, I will make sure you are comfortable!”
With that, Ye Tian wrapped his arms around Yun Xinyan’s slender waist.
Yun Xinyan had been longing for this embrace, so when Ye Tian hugged her, she immediately felt a surge of heat throughout her body and nearly couldn’t restrain herself.
However, today was not an ordinary day, and Yun Xinyan, the CEO of Yun Corporation, obviously could not carry herself in such a manner…
