Chapter 359

With a roar of anger, Li Chuyang prepared to attack again.

"Stop!" A voice filled with majesty came.

Li Chuyang’s face was full of unwillingness, but the energy on his body slowly converged, because the owner of this voice was none other than the Purple Sun Sect Master, Zhang Jingyuan.

Everyone turned to look and saw Zhang Jingyuan walking out of the Heaven Wind Valley, holding a cyan bead just like last time.

"Repeatedly refusing to change. Do you really think the sect’s rules are just for show, and you can attack wherever you want?"

Zhang Jingyuan looked at Li Chuyang: "The Heaven Wind Valley is closed. Go to the Law Enforcement Hall for half a year of confinement. If there is a next time, get out to Qingshan and guard it for three years."

Li Chuyang’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Disciple accepts the punishment."

He wasn't afraid of confinement in the Law Enforcement Hall, but the place called Qingshan terrified him.

Zhang Jingyuan snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Liu Qingyuan not far away, and he strode away immediately.

"His cultivation has improved again!"

Swept by Zhang Jingyuan’s gaze, Liu Qingyuan felt a chill down his spine, knowing Zhang Jingyuan was dissatisfied with him letting Xu Yang and Li Chuyang fight.

But he didn't care. He was, after all, an Elder of Heaven Authority Peak. Even if he were wrong, Zhang Jingyuan could at most scold him a few times. If he could make Xu Yang and Li Chuyang forge a grudge, what did a few scoldings matter?

Xu Yang had reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion so quickly; he had to be eradicated as soon as possible.

"Hmph!"

Li Chuyang snorted coldly with an unkind expression and left with his two subordinates.

Xu Yang didn't care at all, walking over to reunite with Sun Tao and Zhang Yong. Everyone was looking at him in shock.

Although they had only collided twice, his strength was beyond doubt. Li Chuyang had used all his strength and still hadn't been able to shake him.

"How can he get stronger and stronger!" Lu Ren felt a bit dejected.

Xiong Kun felt his cheeks burning. A few days ago, he had said that if Xu Yang didn't break through, he would be pushed off the Ten Great list by him in a few months.

He hadn't expected that the clown was actually himself. Xu Yang had long since reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion, but he was just low-key and didn't show off at all.

"I told you not to jump around in front of him. Now you’ve been slapped in the face," Lu Ren sighed.

He had already learned his lesson and no longer showed off in front of Xu Yang.

Xiong Kun shook his head. Who could have expected Xu Yang wouldn't make a sound about such a face-saving thing as reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion?

"Brother Xu!" Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan walked over with large strides.

"Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang!"

Xu Yang smiled and cupped his hands, feeling as if he were being watched by needles. He knew this was the Heaven Origin expert Liu Qingyuan watching him.

He didn't turn back to look, pretending to have no reaction as he continued to talk with Jiang Fan and the others.

A while later, the Heaven Wind Valley began to allow entry. Several people walked over to queue, and after waiting for a while, Xu Yang entered the Heaven Wind Valley as the fifth of the Ten Great.

Entering the Heaven Wind Valley for the second time, Xu Yang felt the same as last time: special energy kept drilling into his body.

He and Jiang Fan continued to go deeper, finally stopping about twenty meters from the cave entrance, unable to go any further.

"Brother Jiang, do you know what the situation is inside this cave?" Xu Yang asked curiously.

The so-called Heaven Wind Valley actually originated from the cave ahead that would blow out cyan battle wind. If it were so magical outside the cave, capable of tempering the body and cleansing muscles and bones, what kind of scene would it be inside?

It was a pity that even though he was now at Marrow Cleansing Great Completion, he couldn't go deep into that cave, which had no light at all, and couldn't see what was inside.

Jiang Fan shook his head: "The situation inside the Heaven Wind Valley cave is a secret of the Purple Sun Sect. Let alone me, even Elder-level figures might not know. Probably only the Sect Master and a few Peak Masters know the situation inside."

He was also curious about what was inside the cave that created the Heaven Wind Valley, a treasure land for cultivation, but outsiders couldn't possibly know this secret.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from Jiang Fan, Xu Yang spread out his five senses, wanting to sense the situation inside the cave. Unfortunately, this place naturally suppressed the mind. After his mind left his body for a meter, it couldn't continue to expand, as if it had encountered an invisible wall, and no matter what, it couldn't continue to spread.

Seeing this, he could only withdraw his mind.

"The bead in the Sect Master’s hand should be a good thing, but I don't know what it’s used for."

He remembered the cyan bead in Zhang Jingyuan’s hand. Both times, it was Zhang Jingyuan holding that bead as he walked out of the cave that the battle wind began to appear in the Heaven Wind Valley. That cyan bead should be the key to starting and closing the Heaven Wind Valley.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. Let’s cultivate first."

Xu Yang quickly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, threw these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, and threw himself into cultivation with all his might.

Soon, a day passed. In the evening, just as Xu Yang, Sun Tao, Jiang Fan, and the others returned to Li Huo Peak, Gao Lin came looking for him.

It turned out that after an afternoon of fermentation, the news of his Marrow Cleansing Great Completion had reached Elder Huoyun’s ears. Elder Huoyun was very satisfied and sent for him to pay a visit.

Greeting Jiang Fan and the others, Xu Yang left with Gao Lin.

"Junior Brother Xu, didn't you want to keep a low profile? Why didn't you continue to hide it?" Gao Lin asked curiously.

After more than two months, the life force he had burned hadn't been replenished. Now his face was growing increasingly old, and he looked like a middle-aged man.

Xu Yang said helplessly: "Li Chuyang wanted to find trouble with me. In counter-attacking, my cultivation had to be exposed."

The two soon arrived at Elder Huoyun’s main hall.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!" The two cupped their hands in unison.

Elder Huoyun’s gaze swept over Xu Yang with satisfaction and said: "Gao Lin, you may withdraw. I have some things to discuss with Xu Yang alone."

"Disciple takes his leave!"

Gao Lin cupped his hands, turned, and walked out.

"Not bad. Even I didn't expect you to reach Marrow Cleansing Great Completion so quickly." A smile bloomed on Elder Huoyun’s face.

Now, with more than two years left until the second Dragon Ascension, Xu Yang reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion at this time—not to say it was a certainty, but he should have the qualifications to participate.

With this kind of talent, even if he were unlucky and failed the second Dragon Ascension, he would still be able to make a name for himself in the future.

Plus, Gao Lin was also ruined. He feared his lineage would have to rely on Xu Yang to hold it up in the future.

Xu Yang said solemnly: "It is all thanks to Master’s excellent teaching."

"My excellent teaching?"

Elder Huoyun’s mouth twitched slightly: "Stop flattering me. When have I ever taught you?"

Xu Yang had been his disciple for nearly a year and had never asked him about any cultivation problems. He had wanted to teach Xu Yang, but unfortunately, Xu Yang never came to ask him. Even for weapon forging, he went to the Weapon Forging Pavilion to figure it out himself. Sometimes he even suspected that Xu Yang didn't think much of his skills.

"Without the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill given by Master, the disciple couldn't have reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion so quickly," Xu Yang cupped his hands and said.

Elder Huoyun raised a smile. Although most of this cultivation was due to Xu Yang himself, who didn't like a disciple who knew how to be grateful?

"I heard you practiced the Immovable King Body?"

Xu Yang nodded.

"For the Immovable King Body to reach Great Completion, one needs to realize the Martial Dao Imagery of the Immovable King. Except for a few geniuses, most people find it hard to realize Martial Dao Imagery in the Marrow Cleansing realm. You can practice this art less in the future. Wait until you break through to Heaven Origin before you come to contemplate it," Elder Huoyun said.

He didn't believe Xu Yang could bring the Immovable King Body to Great Completion in the Marrow Cleansing realm, so he let Xu Yang spend more time on his cultivation.

A body-tempering art at the Small Completion realm was enough to run rampant in the Marrow Cleansing realm; there was no need to pursue realizing Martial Dao Imagery in this realm.

Xu Yang didn't refute him either, cupping his hands: "Disciple will strictly follow Master’s teachings."

These old fogies, no matter what they said, just agree with them.

Finally able to teach Xu Yang something, Elder Huoyun was very satisfied and waved his hand: "Go. I will tell your Senior Brother to give you a Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill every two months from now on."

The benefits were coming.

Xu Yang cupped his hands with a smile: "Disciple thanks Master, but the disciple has one more request, and asks Master to grant it."
