Chapter 401: Chapter 400: Sudden Enlightennt
At this mont, Zhuang Zhou said, "Fine. eting such a talented hidden dragon has made this trip worthwhile. I should return now; the powers of that realm are eyeing us covetously. Also, give this to him. Once he ascends to the next realm, he’ll understand what it ans."
"Yes!"
The two took the item from Zhuang Zhou’s hand, holding him in the highest regard.
Afterward, Zhuang Zhou left, seemingly quite disappointed. A sour feeling welled up in Zhan Xiong and Xuantian’s hearts. They could only curse their own weakness, which rendered them unable to make any significant impact.
anwhile, Ye Fan was extrely irritated today. He had run into an old Taoist nad Zhuang Zhou who had actually tried to stop him from taking revenge on the Mo Sect. Crossing blades with Zhuang Zhou was the first ti Ye Fan had felt such imnse pressure.
It was certain that Zhuang Zhou was one level stronger than him, but he was still a notch below soone of Heather’s caliber at her peak. Crucially, the man was the master of both Zhan Xiong and Xuantian, which made Ye Fan very curious.
Fortunately, his opponent seed to understand his determination and didn’t press the attack. Otherwise, the outco would have been hard to predict.
No, that’s wrong. The probability of my defeat would have been very high.
It seems I’ll have to find a chance to ask Zhan Xiong and Master Xuantian about this old Taoist, Zhuang Zhou. I need to find out what his background is. To think the Divine Land still has such an expert. Could he be a figure from the Ancient Tis? He doesn’t look like it, though.
The more he thought about it, the more his head ached. He was on the verge of confronting the Mo Sect and had no intention of letting these wild thoughts disrupt his plans. To that end, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He then headed for the Ye Family residence, as even more troubleso matters awaited him there. If I get caught up in these new entanglents on top of everything else, life will be utterly exhausting.
「Upon Ye Fan’s arrival at the Ye Family residence.」
"Mom! I’m here!" Ye Fan announced.
"You little rascal! You ca all the way to Shangjing and didn’t even call
to pick you up!" a complaining voice drifted from inside.
Though her words were a complaint, they were filled with a care that ward Ye Fan’s heart. When you’re striving for greatness, the concern of your family is more comforting than anything.
Ye Fan walked inside. In the room, a al was being prepared. To his surprise, it wasn’t the Ye Family’s servants who were cooking. It was Mrs. Jiang. Of course, he also saw a clumsy figure chopping vegetables—it was Su Qingxue. He hadn’t expected her to be here. They t each other’s eyes and exchanged a smile.
Mrs. Jiang, however, turned to scold Ye Fan. "Look at you! Neglecting such a wonderful fiancée for your own affairs! Aren’t you ashad? Aren’t you?!"
At Mrs. Jiang’s words, Ye Fan felt utterly wronged.
Su Qingxue, on the other hand, flashed him a victorious look.
Luckily, Mrs. Jiang didn’t reprimand him for too long. Ye Fan went into the living room, as Ye Qingshan had already called him over.
Only the three of them—grandfather, father, and son—were in the living room.
His father, Ye Tiannan, wore his usual stern expression, befitting a man with a military background.
Ye Qingshan, on the other hand, was in high spirits. His strength had progressed rapidly. As an Innate Expert, he was just one step away from the King-level. Originally, reaching the Innate Expert realm had been an unattainable dream. Now, he was unexpectedly on the verge of breaking through to the King-level, and at a remarkable pace. To say he wasn’t pleased would be an understatent.
"Ye Fan, you’re back!" he said. "Co, co, enlighten ! What preparations do I need to make to break through to the King-level?"
"Yes, Grandfather!" Ye Fan replied, stepping forward with a smile, ready to offer guidance.
But Ye Tiannan interjected, "Make sure your guidance is sound!"
Had Ye Tiannan kept quiet, things would have been fine, but the mont he spoke, Ye Qingshan’s smile vanished. He imdiately snapped at Ye Tiannan, "Get out! I get sick just looking at your miserable face!"
"Dad!" Ye Tiannan felt deeply aggrieved. He had wanted to lecture Ye Fan with an air of seniority, only to be shut down by his own father before he could even get started.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Ye Qingshan barked.
Ye Tiannan scurried out dejectedly. It was impossible for him not to resent Ye Fan for this.
At that, Ye Fan let out a hearty, satisfied laugh. There’s always a higher mountain. Of course, this father of mine is a frustrated exception. Suppressed not only by his wife, but also by his own father. The military marshal has his own unspeakable woes.
"Don’t mind him," Ye Qingshan said with a smile. "Co, Ye Fan, continue!"
Ye Fan glanced at Ye Qingshan’s body and said directly, "Grandfather, so you’ve been worrying about breaking through to the King-level. Actually, it’s very simple."
"Simple?" Ye Qingshan looked at Ye Fan in astonishnt.
To think that breaking through to the King-level within two or three years would be a gift from the heavens. But in Ye Fan’s eyes, it’s suddenly ’simple.’ Am I going about this all wrong? I only reached this stage today thanks to Ye Fan’s help on countless occasions. How could I dare hope for more?
Ye Fan smiled. "If you’re willing, Grandfather, I can help you break through right now."
"What? You can’t be serious!" Ye Qingshan was utterly dumbfounded.
Break through right now? That’s unbelievable! Isn’t martial cultivation supposed to be a steady, step-by-step process? My entire worldview has just been turned upside down.
"It’s true," Ye Fan said. "This is a pill I made from Frost Grass. A friend gave it to
when I visited the Ice Glacier Grassland."
That friend was the psychic Grassland Bear. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him. After I deal with my great enemy, I’ll have to go visit him and hang out.
Ye Qingshan held the pill, feeling its penetrating cold. Though it was freezing, he yearned for it.
"Should I take it now? Do I need to make any preparations?" Ye Qingshan asked worriedly.
Ye Fan smiled. "Just take it, Grandfather. No preparations are needed."
"Alright!"
He imdiately swallowed the pill. An instant later, a chilling sensation coursed through him. Though it was early spring, he felt as if he were turning into a man of ice.
At that mont, Ye Fan got to work. He began to circulate his energy, infusing his Supre Inner Strength into Ye Qingshan’s body. The energy started to spread throughout his grandfather’s system.
In a flash, Ye Qingshan felt as if he could fly. He distinctly sensed that he had broken through to the King-level. This was it—the power he had craved for so long.
Finally, he had done it. With the added power of the pill, he didn’t just break through; he advanced all the way to the high-stage King-level.
Ye Fan did this for a reason. His grandfather’s innate talent wasn’t exceptional, so a direct infusion of power was a good option. He would never, however, do this for his won. Their talents were far from ordinary, and using such a thod would hinder their future cultivation paths. Otherwise, he would have used this trick long ago.
But his grandfather, Ye Qingshan, was a different case. Had he continued on his own, the Innate realm might very well have been his limit. Without his help, Ye Qingshan would never have reached the King-level in his lifeti. This demonstrated the importance of talent; sotis, hard work truly can’t compare to innate ability.
Feeling the surging power within him, Ye Qingshan’s heart swelled with exhilaration. The King-level was a realm he had dread of his entire life.
