Chapter 173: Zi Yan's Worries!

Cultivation knows no passage of time.

This time, after Gu Fei swallowed a Nine-Rank Precious Pill, it was his longest period of seclusion; for over a full year, he had not stepped out even once.

And for others at this level of cultivation, this could be considered a common occurrence.

"Why hasn't Daddy come out yet..."

One day, Xiao Xianle ran outside the cave dwelling where Gu Fei was in seclusion and began to grumble.

Wushuang, who had already turned three, still followed behind Xianle like a little shadow.

"Big Sister... Mother said that Daddy is breaking through a major cultivation realm this time, and we should understand him more and be well-behaved!"

Listening to his sister's words, Wushuang repeated his mother's words very earnestly.

"Hey, you little one, you dare to say that Big Sister isn't well-behaved now, huh..."

Hearing this, Xianle turned her head back, reached out, and pinched Wushuang's little ear directly.

"No, no..."

"Big Sister, you are very well-behaved!"

"Sister, please stop pinching, I was wrong!"

Having his ear pinched by his sister, Wushuang was very afraid and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, the massive stone door in front of the two little ones suddenly opened.

Hearing the sound, the two little ones turned their heads in unison to look, only to discover that the father they missed was already standing at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

"Daddy, you have finally come out of seclusion!"

Seeing Gu Fei, Xianle finally let go of Wushuang's ear and ran over happily.

"Xianle, Wushuang, you have both grown so tall!"

Looking at the changes in the children, Gu Fei's face was full of smiles; just as before, he picked up the two little ones, one in each arm, and walked along.

"Brother Gu Fei, you finally came out!" Before long, Zi Yan appeared in front of Gu Fei; as soon as Gu Fei came out of seclusion, Zi Yan had sensed it immediately.

Following closely behind, Xiao Yixian, Cai'er, Qing Lin, and the others also arrived here.

The three of them had made very obvious progress over these past few years; Cai'er had stepped into the Four-Star Dou Zun level half a year ago, and Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin had also become One-Star Dou Zun powerhouses.

"It seems everyone has made great progress!"

Seeing the current state of everyone, Gu Fei was very happy; in this world where the strong are respected, having those around him possess the ability to protect themselves was naturally what he hoped to see.

And as for his own seclusion, after completely digesting the energy of the Nine-Rank Precious Pill, he had naturally advanced to the Half-Saint level.

Furthermore, he had bypassed the primary and intermediate stages in one go, reaching the level of an Advanced Half-Saint.

And today, he was not even twenty-five years old yet!

This growth speed, looking across the entire Ancient Eight Clans, was something no one could surpass.

Currently, the only person in the younger generation who could truly suppress Gu Fei in terms of cultivation was Lei Dong of the Lei Clan.

Even Hun Feng, who was hailed as the number one person of the younger generation of the Soul Clan, was seven or eight years older than Gu Fei and had already been caught up to by him.

For three years, Lei Dong had been training in the Leichi, and it was estimated that once he came out, he would be a Dou Sheng directly, perhaps even reaching a Two-Star Dou Saint.

"Lei Dong, I hope that when we meet next time, you won't look too surprised..."

Recalling the look in Lei Dong's eyes when he left last time, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu Fei's mouth.

After coming out of seclusion, Gu Fei spent all his time with his family; Wushuang was still very young and often only saw Gu Fei after long intervals, so under normal circumstances, they would not be very close.

However, Medusa had taught him very well, and the three-year-old Wushuang was very sensible.

He understood that his father's seclusion and cultivation were all for the sake of being able to better protect everyone in the future.

"Brother Gu Fei, in a while, I want to go back to Dragon Island to take a look..."

Half a month after Gu Fei came out of seclusion, Zi Yan suddenly found him and spoke about leaving.

Gu Fei understood her; after all, it had been a long time since she had left Dragon Island, and with her cultivation improved, she was anxious to have the Dragon Clan unified and did not want the Dragon Clan to continue to be divided.

"Now that your Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivation is already very stable, you indeed have the strength to go back and handle matters... However, wait a little longer; I have a way to let you break through to the late stage of Four-Star Dou Sheng in a short time..."

"Brother Gu Fei, are you planning to refine a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill for me?"

Hearing these words from Gu Fei, Zi Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

"No!"

Gu Fei shook his head gently.

"Not a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill, then what is it?" Zi Yan became puzzled.

With her current strength, no matter how many Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills she ate, there would not be any major improvement.

"I'll tell you when we get there!"

Gu Fei kept her in suspense; the opportunity he wanted to seek this time was the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet of the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan, which contained a wisp of a Demon Saint's remnant soul and held a few drops of Demon Saint Essence Blood.

In the ancient era, the Yellow Springs Demon Saint had once stepped half a foot into the Dou Di level.

The Essence Blood left behind by a powerhouse who had reached that level was undoubtedly quite attractive to Dou Sheng powerhouses.

Just a small portion of it would be enough for Gu Fei to successfully break through to a true Dou Sheng.

Moreover, within that Yellow Spring Stone Tablet, there was also an extremely formidable soul-attack Battle Technique, the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath.

Yellow Springs Finger, severing life and death!

Yellow Springs Wrath, shattering one's soul!

To be precise, the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath was a sonic Battle Technique.

And it was a Heaven-tier advanced sonic Battle Technique at that.

It was recorded in ancient texts that in the ancient era, even some powerhouses at the Dou Sheng level would turn pale at the mere mention of the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath.

Of those peak experts who fell at the hands of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, at least nine out of ten were ultimately killed by the Demon Saint unleashing the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath to shatter their souls alive.

And Gu Fei's current soul realm had already reached the requirements for practicing the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath.

Having mastered that kind of soul attack method, even though Gu Fei only had the cultivation of an Advanced Half-Saint at this time, he could still pose a threat to experts below the level of a Two-Star Dou Saint.

"As for the location, it is still in the Beast Domain, and it has to do with the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan..."

Seeing that Zi Yan still had a look of confusion on her face, Gu Fei continued to add a sentence, satisfying her curiosity.

"It has to do with those ugly legless creatures again..." Zi Yan muttered subconsciously.

However, before she had finished speaking, she suddenly realized something.

Not far behind her, Cai'er was walking toward this side with Wushuang.

"I hope Sister Cai'er didn't hear that..."

Zi Yan was like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to turn around to look at Cai'er.

"Cai'er, you've come just in time!"

Gu Fei smiled and waved, signaling for Cai'er to come over.

"Husband, what is it?"

Cai'er asked curiously, and as she spoke, she glared fiercely at Zi Yan.

"Cai'er, Zi Yan and I are planning to make a trip to the Beast Domain; you should come with me as well, for there, you will find your own opportunity!"

Gu Fei explained with a smile.

As a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, as long as she possessed sufficient energy, Cai'er could also reach the Half-Saint level at the fastest speed.

And the Beast Domain happened to have just such a place that could allow Cai'er to advance rapidly.
