Chapter 52: Xiao Han Comes Out of Seclusion

Xiao Han was naturally unaware of the changes in the outside world; in fact, Xiao Han had not expected that he would be able to cultivate for six years at once, skipping the middle stage and reaching the late stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng directly.

And now, he was attempting to break through a certain barrier, which was the key step in determining whether Xiao Han could reach that stage.

This was the critical period of Xiao Han's breakthrough, and he could not be disturbed in the slightest. At this moment, Xiao Han had no time to worry about what negative impact he might cause to the outside world.

He could only feel his total Dou Qi increasing rapidly, charging at that barrier again and again, only to be constantly rebounded.

But as the number of attempts increased, Xiao Han could feel that layer of obstruction becoming increasingly thin; a few more times, and the breakthrough would be achieved naturally.

However, Ye Jianxin in the outside world did not know that Xiao Han was at a critical juncture of his breakthrough; they were having a headache over the strange phenomena caused by Xiao Han.

Centered on the secret chamber, a massive storm was gradually forming; it would be no exaggeration to call it a storm of wind blades and frost swords, and even a Dou Zun Peak expert would be torn to shreds the moment they accidentally entered it.

At this time, the dozens of Dou Zun experts maintaining the Spirit Locking Array in the outside world had already begun to feel exhausted.

Having continuously channeled Dou Qi into the array for three days without sleep or rest, they would have collapsed long ago if not for their own reserves of Medicinal Pill.

Fortunately, Xiao Han was in a secret realm for his closed-door cultivation; otherwise, such a massive phenomenon would certainly have attracted the attention of other forces.

Langya Pavilion was already famous enough, and after finally keeping a low profile for the past few years, it was likely going to make the headlines again.

"Sigh, I'm mentally exhausted." Ye Jianxin sighed silently in his heart; due to his higher cultivation level, his situation was still alright.

It was just that seeing the swaying Langya Guard around him, his mood immediately soured.

The gap was just too big.

Dozens of Dou Zun experts, combined with an array, were qualified to fight even against a real Half-Saint.

But now, they were struggling just to endure the aftermath of a cultivation session—truly a case of "comparing oneself to others will only lead to anger."

However, if this continued, not only would the array be unable to be maintained, but the Dou Zun experts he had painstakingly cultivated would all be wiped out!

Ye Jianxin hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and issued a second order.

In less than a quarter of an hour, many Dou Zun Elders of Langya Pavilion who were in closed-door cultivation were all dragged over.

The urgency of the situation almost made some Elders think that Langya Pavilion had been attacked again.

Seeing the spectacular scene before them, many people opened their mouths wide.

"Is this the power of a Dou Sheng expert?" The one who said this was an older Dou Zun Elder whose potential was nearly exhausted, and he would have no chance to reach the Saint Realm in this lifetime.

But this sight still stirred a sense of heroism in him; a great man should be like this.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take over the array." Just as they were stunned, they heard Ye Jianxin's somewhat anxious voice.

There was no other way; in just this short time, some of the weaker Langya Guard could no longer hold on, and if they continued, they would lose their lives.

And the strength of the array was becoming weaker and weaker, on the verge of being broken.

Hearing the Great Elder's words, the Elders quickly found their respective positions.

As an ancient array, the Spirit Locking Array clearly had its own advantages.

One of them was that it was simple to get started; one only needed to find the right position and inject Dou Qi. The Elders were quite familiar with this array.

After all, it was free, so why not learn it? When drifting in the world of martial arts, having more skills never hurts!

Finally having a chance to rest, the Langya Guard could no longer care about form; one by one, they hurriedly landed, preparing to recover their Dou Qi directly.

There were even a few in more serious conditions who fell directly from the sky and were caught by several Dou Zong Disciple and sent to a safer place.

Otherwise, in their state, they might have been finished off by a random shockwave.

A Dou Zun expert dying from the impact of some unknown aftermath—how worthless would that be!

Suddenly, all the Elders maintaining the array felt their pressure increase sharply, and they could only increase the infusion of Dou Qi one by one.

However, Ye Jianxin felt much more relaxed at this moment.

The suddenly increased pressure indicated that that guy had broken through, and now they just needed to wait for Xiao Han to end his cultivation state on his own.

It was just that they did not expect that this wait would last for a full ten days.

During this period, the personnel responsible for maintaining the array were replaced several times.

When Yi Huang returned midway, she thought something had happened and charged over with a giant dragon-shaped earthy-yellow flame.

Fortunately, Ye Jianxin blocked it in time; otherwise, everything would have fallen short of success.

Subsequently, out of concern for Xiao Han, Yi Huang kept watch in front of the array and did not leave.

Her water-like eyes occasionally revealed a hint of panic, staring fixedly at the white-clothed man in the center of the field.

As for Ye Jianxin, he returned to the Pavilion to handle affairs. Thinking about the tasks that had piled up for several days made his head ache.

……

In the constant collision with that thin membrane, Xiao Han's aura grew increasingly intense.

Finally, with the rupture of the membrane, Xiao Han's aura surged violently, and his cultivation finally broke through to the early stage of Seven-Star.

Afterward, he began to control this power, and time flowed away bit by bit.

The Elders outside were pleasantly surprised to find that the pressure from the array was slowly weakening, which also meant that the Pavilion Master was about to come out of seclusion.

Finally, that icy aura slowly dissipated, and the Elders also withdrew the array.

In the expectant gazes of the crowd, a handsome white-clothed figure walked out from the broken walls and ruins.

Just as everyone was about to step forward to greet the Pavilion Master, a cyan-green figure crashed directly into him.

He was stunned for a moment, and then many Elders began to show knowing smiles, quietly dispersing—no need to make a scene.

As for Xiao Han, he looked gently at the figure in his arms, lightly stroking her slightly trembling back.

"Jerk, didn't you say you would only be in closed-door cultivation for one year?" Yi Huang complained, but perhaps feeling that this was too unreserved, she then said somewhat self-deceptively,

"Look at how tired you've made Lao Ye."

"This was indeed hard on him." Xiao Han thought of Ye Jianxin's lazy personality; for a guy like that, letting him manage the massive Langya Pavilion for a full six years was surely more cruel than killing him.

"So, did someone miss me?" However, now was clearly not the time to think about his brother.

With a beauty in his arms, he still dared to think of others? Even if it was a man, it wouldn't do!

Xiao Han's talent for this was undoubtedly maxed out.

Hearing Xiao Han's teasing words, Yi Huang immediately felt her whole body burning, and she prepared to break free from his warm embrace and run away.

As a result, her whole person was held firmly, with absolutely no chance to escape; feeling the aura emanating from Xiao Han's body, Yi Huang only felt that she was about to faint.

"Let me go, I wouldn't miss you at all!" In a fit of exasperation, Yi Huang finally could not maintain her persona, and a swear word burst out.

"You dare to not miss me? Then I really should let my wife recall how formidable her husband is." Xiao Han smiled wickedly.

"Ah..."

Before Yi Huang could say anything.

He scooped Yi Huang up by the waist, and with the support of his Saint Fighter cultivation, he instantly returned to the room.

"What are you doing..."

"Don't come over..."

Subsequently, the sound of Yi Huang trembling could be heard.

The spring night is short and the sun rises high, from now on the monarch does not attend morning court.

Hmm...

Xiao Han stayed in the room like this for three days without coming out.
