Even from far away at the Heaven Strategy Academy, he gave Xu Yang, the first of the Ten Talents, a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Song Wending felt his blood boil. This was the true prodigy, Han Yingjie, flying high above the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s behavior of hiding in the Purple Sun Gate didn't deserve the title of prodigy at all; he couldn't compare to Han Yingjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang smiled: \"Is Senior Brother Han Yingjie back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hao shook his head: \"Lord Han has no time to deal with such trivial matters. He is busy competing with various prodigies from Yunzhou at the Heaven Strategy Academy. I can handle such matters myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single letter from Han Yingjie, no faction in Yangcheng dared to show disrespect. Just earlier, when he took Han Yingjie’s note to the Purple Sun Gate, the Sect Master even made time to meet him and ask about Han Yingjie’s recent situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Yingjie didn't come, and you're putting on airs in front of me?\" Xu Yang’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Han Yingjie had come, which was why Yin Hao was so arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a follower of Han Yingjie; he had almost mistaken Yin Hao for Han Yingjie himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? You don't want to show respect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hao looked at him with disbelief: \"Lord Han is not pursuing you out of consideration for being fellow disciples of the Purple Sun Gate, not because he can't deal with you. Do you really think that because you and Lord Han are both first among the Ten Talents, you are prodigies of the same level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't blame you for your lack of experience, as the Purple Sun Gate is a backwater, but if you lack self-awareness, that is very stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or you can go ask your master, Elder Huoyun; he knows what status Lord Han holds in Yunzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My meaning is that you can go die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang revealed his white teeth and then threw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade-colored fist punched through the air, emitting a deafening roar like a thunderclap. Instantly, wind and dust swirled around them, and the immense power cracked the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Yin Hao was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Xu Yang to dare attack him, and even more so, he hadn't expected that Xu Yang’s cultivation wasn't peak Marrow Cleansing, but that he had already broken through to the Heaven Origin realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yin Hao wanted to dodge and counterattack, but he felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain pressing down on him; he couldn't even move a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the fist arrived, his body had already been torn by the terrifying gale, and his legs sank into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those idiots in the Song family didn't even know what Xu Yang’s cultivation was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hao cursed the Song family’s ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, only able to watch as the unstoppable fist crashed down, his liver and gallbladder splitting in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Han won't let you go!\" he roared as he faced death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't let him go either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang watched Yin Hao calmly, his fist crashing into him with unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled sound echoed. Xu Yang’s fist carried a weight of ten thousand jun, its power terrifying. Before Yin Hao could even scream, his body exploded with a \"boom.\" Flesh and bone fragments, carrying the force to pierce metal and crack stone, shot out, blasting holes in the ground like fireworks exploding into a mist of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already reached Heaven Origin?\" Song Wending was terrified, his body shaking like chaff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Origin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang had actually broken through to Heaven Origin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known Xu Yang had broken through, he would have fled with Yin Hao the moment he saw him, instead of letting Yin Hao provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that at this time, even people like Zhang Hanzhou and Jiang Fan hadn't broken through to Heaven Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s already Heaven Origin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying thought surged in Song Wending’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saber technique, Li Fire Art...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was true as Elder Huoyun said, that the person who killed Ancestor Song Yushao wasn't Elder Huoyun, could it be that the person who killed Ancestor Song Yushao was Xu Yang, who had already broken through to Heaven Origin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for motive, Xu Yang definitely had more than Elder Huoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare me, I didn't tell him to provoke you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wending quickly realized it wasn't the time to be shocked; he had to save his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No difference. Even if he didn't provoke me, I would still kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang strolled forward and threw another punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long wanted to kill Song Wending, but Song Wending had always stayed in the Purple Sun Gate, and he hadn't found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deafening roar was like a death warrant. Song Wending was filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that with Han Yingjie sending Yin Hao, the Song family would slowly rise again, but he never expected this result. This time, even he was going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist, weighing ten thousand jun, crashed into Song Wending. Like Yin Hao, his body exploded into a mist of blood before he could even scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang cleared his mind to ensure no one was around before returning to the Purple Sun Gate at a leisurely pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he heard news: Liu Qingyuan had come out of seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Han Yingjie had sent Yin Hao to help the Song family stabilize the situation, he had come out, probably wanting to show his presence in front of Han Yingjie, a disciple of the Heaven Strategy Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, the remaining members of the Song family waited in vain for Yin Hao’s return and sent people to the Purple Sun Gate to inquire, only to learn that Yin Hao had left the Purple Sun Gate to return to the Song family yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hao had disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hao, a follower of the Heaven Strategy Academy disciple Han Yingjie, had been killed just days after arriving in Yangcheng. Also killed was Song Wending, a Song family disciple at the Purple Sun Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is so bold as to kill Han Yingjie’s follower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid it’s the same person who killed Song Yushao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if he’s Han Yingjie’s follower? You don't even know who killed him; what can you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Yin Hao was too arrogant, thinking that with the title of Han Yingjie’s follower, no one would dare touch him. He didn't know that the person who killed Song Yushao might be an expert from the Purple Sun Gate. Daring to go to the Purple Sun Gate was simply asking for death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the entire Yangcheng was in an uproar, with all sorts of speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation the Song family had finally stabilized became precarious again. Those remaining clan members feared that the expert who killed Song Yushao would come for them again. Some timid members had already quietly left Yangcheng for distant lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yin Hao is dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingyuan, who had just come out of seclusion, felt a lingering fear. He also felt that the person who killed Yin Hao was likely the one who killed Song Yushao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he hadn't intervened in this matter, or he would have brought disaster upon himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Medicine King Peak, in the inner disciple living area, in a relatively elegant small courtyard, the door to a quiet room that had been closed for months slowly opened. Ye Qiuling walked out slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a pressure followed, immense and unstoppable, and the power of heaven and earth fluctuated with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin was as white as snow, delicate as mutton-fat jade, and now it radiated a faint glow, her temperament becoming increasingly ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Medicine King Peak disciples living in the nearby courtyards felt their hearts tremble instantly, their bodies feeling as if they were pressed by a thousand-jin boulder, their true qi circulation sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Ye has broken through to the Heaven Origin realm!\" someone said in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhang Hanzhou and Qi Xuancheng both failing their breakthroughs, Ye Qiuling had actually succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the news of Ye Qiuling’s breakthrough to the Heaven Origin realm spread like wildfire across Medicine King Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang ignored the various speculations outside and continued his seclusion, refining the crystal lotus root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and half a month later, the crystal lotus roots were all refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang came out of seclusion, and the matters concerning the Song family and Yin Hao had long been forgotten by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Li Fire Art First Stage (47301\u002F10000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My cultivation growth is still too slow,\" Xu Yang frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three crystal lotus roots were only equivalent to less than three months of hard cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must find a way to get the recipe for Heaven Origin realm elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already inquired about the recipe for Heaven Origin realm elixirs; it required over three thousand contribution points to exchange, and he currently had less than one thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the hardest part wasn't the recipe, but that the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixirs were hard to collect. Even someone with Elder Huoyun’s status mostly used Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills for cultivation; one could imagine how rare Heaven Origin realm elixirs were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising and walking out of the quiet room, Xu Yang headed to the dining hall, where he saw Li Fire Peak disciples sitting in twos and threes, chatting about their encounters while treasure hunting in the Yunling Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Kun was talking to Lu Ren, but when he saw Xu Yang appear, he immediately fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, over here.\" Sun Tao waved from afar, sitting with Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang got some food and quickly sat at their table. Scanning them, he saw that both had vigorous auras; their Marrow Cleansing was almost complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Jiang Fan, this was normal, but for Sun Tao, it was very abnormal. He felt that if things continued this way, Sun Tao might be able to ascend the dragon a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Sun, your cultivation progress is truly frightening,\" Xu Yang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1723,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e8d2a1d2858b112eb5889a74dbb6ee8745436b83ed113039501978b81da6928b","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-395","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-393",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
