Chapter 20: Journey to the Breaking Clan

After returning to the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect, Ning Rongrong often thinks of Yu Tianyun's handsome face and astonishing talent, their heart full of sweetness and anticipation.

Yu Tianyun, meanwhile, is not idle in the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect; he trains ever more diligently, as if turning every minute and second into a step toward greater strength.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye two years pass.

During those two years, Yu Tianyun and Ning Rongrong cannot meet often, but occasional letters let their feelings gradually warm.

After two years, Yu Tianyun's soul power cultivation reaches the 39th level, just one step away from the higher Soul Sect Realm.

At this moment, having finished his soul power training, Yu Tianyun muses in the quiet gravity chamber: "Looks like it's time to go to the Ice and Fire Twin Eyes!"

He knows that to advance further on the cultivation path, he must obtain stronger power and resources. Next, Yu Tianyun plans to first visit Yang Wudi to acquire knowledge of celestial herbs!

Then he will help Dugubo detoxify and obtain the celestial herb.

Recall that in the original work, Yang Wudi is the last single‑attribute clan Soul Douluo to appear; despite having the lowest rank, his combat power is the strongest.

In the Heavenly Dou Palace, Yang Wudi battles Snake Spear Douluo, one side being an early‑stage Soul Douluo and the other an early‑stage Title Douluo; the level gap between them is like a sky trench, yet Yang Wudi is a special Soul Douluo, dubbed the "Extreme Soul Douluo."

Facing Yang Wudi's all‑out, unguarded, relentless assault, Snake Spear Douluo is caught off guard and forced into a step‑by‑step retreat.

In the end, Snake Spear Douluo has to admit that Yang Wudi's overwhelming strength exceeds his expectations; although the Snake Spear Douluo happens to be countered by him, it still proves Yang Wudi's astonishing combat power.

Because after being abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, the Breaking Clan suffered a heavy blow.

Under the persecution of the Spirit Hall, their casualties were the worst; even Yang Wudi's son and daughter‑in‑law were brutally killed by the Spirit Hall, and his brother's whereabouts remain unknown.

This series of tragedies deepens Yang Wudi's hatred toward the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao to the bone.

Precisely because of this, when Tang San subdued Yang Wudi, it was fraught with difficulty; after a fierce battle he barely won, offering a fragrant ethereal treasure, before bringing him into the Tang Gate.

Later it is mentioned that Yang Wudi is the only person besides Ju Douluo who knows Lovesickness Red, showing that Yang Wudi certainly knows many celestial herbs! As for helping Dugubo detoxify, in the original work Tang San transferred the toxin into his soul bone, then used diluted Ice and Fire celestial herb potency together with simple tonic formulas to craft an antidote.

This poses no difficulty for Yu Tianyun; over the years he has also studied pharmacology, so concocting the antidote is easy.

Since Yu Tianyun suggested the three‑clan scheme to Yu Yuanzhen, the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect has been trying to recruit the Breaking, Yu, and Min clans, providing them with considerable aid, and the two sides have engaged in frequent trade.

However, the three clans have not fully pledged allegiance to the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect; due to the Clear Sky Sect's abandonment, they harbor great suspicion toward the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect, which now stands alongside the Clear Sky Sect as one of the three great sects.

Yet as the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect's assistance has continued over the years, the relationship has become fairly amicable.

This provides Yu Tianyun with many conveniences for his upcoming actions!

"What, you want to go to the Breaking Clan?" Yu Yuanzhen said, his face full of astonishment, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"You kid, what scheme are you up to now? Why would you suddenly want to go to the Breaking Clan, knowing that the Breaking Clan lies far within the Starry Net Empire!" Yu Yuanzhen frowned, his eyes filled with doubt and worry.

Yu Tianyun considered carefully and said softly, "Grandfather, do you recall I mentioned pursuing the Extreme Thunder Path? My attached Soul Ring lacks dragon power; if I cannot find dragon‑type heavenly materials, I will have to abandon the Extreme Thunder Path."

I am now at level 39, time is running short; Yang Wudi's expertise in pharmacology is profound, perhaps he can give me some guidance.

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly understood and said, "I see, Yang Wudi truly stands out in pharmacology, obsessed with alchemy, which has inevitably hampered his soul power cultivation. Since breaking through as a Soul Douluo, his soul power has made little progress for nearly ten years."

Nevertheless, he devotes himself entirely to research, so he must be intimately familiar with all kinds of herbs! If you can obtain his help, perhaps your problem can truly be solved."

Yu Tianyun continued, "Exactly, which is why I decided to visit him. I hope you will grant permission, Grandfather."

"Fine, if you wish to go, then go; it's not a big deal. But the journey is long, so you must act cautiously," Yu Yuanzhen said, relieved after understanding, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I will act carefully." Yu Tianyun said, breathing a sigh of relief when Yu Yuanzhen agreed, grateful that without his approval he would have no way.

After a month's journey, Yu Tianyun finally arrived at Cangyun City.

"So this is Cangyun City? The location of the Breaking Clan? Finally arrived!"

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Tianyun gazed at the towering city ahead and let out a sigh of emotion.

No wonder he feels this way; in that month he traversed almost half of the Douluo Continent, enduring wind and rain, and facing many hardships.

Fortunately, his strength is considerable, allowing him to resolve each obstacle.

Even his soul power cultivation has taken another step toward the 40th level; by the time he reaches the Ice and Fire Twin Eyes, he will have already broken through the 40th level!

"Indeed, Soul Master, this is Cangyun City; the Breaking Clan resides in the eastern district of the city," said a farmer‑clad uncle driving the carriage.

"Alright, let's stop here!" Yu Tianyun stepped out of the carriage, handed the farmer ten Jin Hun Coins, and walked toward the city.

"Thank you, Soul Master, may your journey be smooth!" the farmer gratefully accepted the unexpectedly generous Jin Hun Coins, looking at Yu Tianyun's back and offering sincere thanks and blessings.

Yu Tianyun followed the farmer uncle's directions, heading toward the Breaking Clan's territory.

Along the way, he observed the unfamiliar city's sights: shops lining both sides of the streets, pedestrians bustling.

Before long, he arrived at his destination.

What met his eyes was a grand, sprawling mansion of extraordinary size.

The mansion is surrounded by thick walls five meters high, like an impenetrable barrier.

The gate tower at the main entrance soars into the clouds, standing seven meters tall, inspiring awe.

Above the doorway hangs a massive plaque bearing a flamboyant "Break" character, its strokes bold and unrestrained.

The character's robust strokes exude a wild, unbridled spirit, as if proclaiming the owner's distinctive taste and personality to the world.

The entire mansion radiates an ancient yet grand charm, as if it has weathered the ages yet remains unshaken.

At the main gate stand two robust men, each about 1.9 meters tall, their backs straight as spears, exuding a sharp aura.

Yu Tianyun lifts his step lightly and walks forward slowly.
