Chapter 562: Chapter 569: He Cultivates the Great Dao! (Third update)
“Damn it, a set of clothes actually costs one purple crystal, why don’t you just rob me?”
Everyone present looked bewildered at the two figures enveloped by a mist of energy in mid-air. Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, they were immediately stunned.
Seeing Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe exchanging glances, Feng Jingtu weakly smiled and explained, “This is really Yang Zhen’s temper… Grand… grandfather?”
As he spoke, Feng Jingtu’s eyes grew wider, an excited yet hesitant look spreading across his face as uncertainty crept into his voice, “Grandfather, is… is it you?”
A hearty laugh echoed in the air. “A single purple crystal is nothing, given Yang’s favor I ought to satisfy you,” the confident and resonant voice announced.
No answer was given to Feng Jingtu’s question. The man in the air laughed and suddenly, a staggering energy exploded from his body, scattering the surrounding clouds.
An elderly figure, full of life, stood in mid-air. His every movement was fluid and natural. If it wasn’t Elder Feng, then who else could it be?
What all those present found unbelievable was that Elder Feng’s skin was no longer dry. Instead, it had a glossy, and plump appearance, resembling a newborn’s skin, which left everyone astounded.
However, it wasn’t merely the skin that shocked them, but the aura of strength radiating from Elder Feng was what truly perplexed everyone.
The blend of youthful tenderness from the newborn’s skin with an overwhelming strength was an incredulous combination that was extremely astonishing to behold.
Elder Feng was also extremely thrilled. As he looked at his hands, his whole body seemed to fuse with heaven and earth, giving an impression of being one with nature. This prompted Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe to exclaim in unison – “Heavenly Realm!”
Heavenly Realm?
Upon hearing the words of Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe, everyone was completely shocked and speechless, looking at Elder Feng who seemed to have become part of the heavens.
Heavenly Realm, my gosh, it’s actually the Heavenly Realm!
Amongst all, Feng Jingtu was the most excited. Upon hearing the term ‘Heavenly Realm,’ Feng Jingtu broke into a grin which dissolved into tears, as he abruptly knelt down and burst into loud sobs, sometimes laughing amidst his crying, his face a mess of tears and snot, making him look like an idiot.
“He’s alright now, grandfather’s illness is completely cured, not only is he full of vitality but his strength as well is restored. Moreover, he even leaped straight into the Heavenly Realm.”
A realm that Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe had not stepped into for so many years— grandfather had broken through.
What could possibly be more exciting than this?
Feng Jingtu couldn’t contemplate anything more exhilarating. Yang Zhen had actually cured his grandfather, and his strength was not only restored but was even higher. Most importantly, he had broken through to the Heavenly Realm. This was something that seemed almost impossible, yet it was achieved.
Buzz—!
Elder Feng thrust out his hands and closed his eyes. Inhaling deeply, it seemed as though the elemental energy in the surrounding environment was drawn toward him. Under the pull of a magic force, the energy flooded towards Elder Feng, forming a halo that gently rotated around him.
“So this is the Heavenly Realm, the so-called unity of heaven and man. The interplay of Yin and Yang, encompasses so many profound changes and interdependencies. Yang, how exactly did you do this?”
Upon hearing Elder Feng’s words, everyone held their breath and stared intently at Yang Zhen in the sky who was still checking whether the purple crystal in his hand was genuine or not.
The most exaggerated were Meng Tinghao and the elder in the purple robe. Their ears perked up, not wanting to miss even a single breath from Yang Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen gave Elder Feng a peculiar look. This wasn’t about how he managed to do it, but in fact, Elder Feng’s recovery and his fortuitous breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm were signs that his life was not yet over.
Upon understanding Elder Feng’s physical ailments, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon’s discourse on health maintenance, a balance of Yin and Yang. This wasn’t a concept that Yang Zhen had created, it was a principle already established by those great predecessors from the Blue Planet.
However, as the spiritual energy of the Blue Planet had been depleted, the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon was no longer capable of its inherent effects. Yang Zhen recalled hurriedly scanning through it, not even comprehending the simplest principles of it.
Witnessing Elder Feng’s current problem, Yang Zhen, almost instinctively found the solution in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, attaining it as if it was a treasure.
In healing Elder Feng this time, Yang Zhen profited more than Elder Feng did.
Damn it, with the Yin and Yang principles of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, no matter how severe the injuries Yang Zhen suffered, recovery was only a matter of time. As long as his Spirit Soul wasn’t extinguished, and his body wasn’t crushed into pieces, Yang Zhen’s could be said to be an undeceasing existence.
This fact had already been tested on Elder Feng.
Seeing the crowd’s curious gaze, Yang Zhen said somewhat awkwardly, “An inspiration struck me. The ‘Sao Saint’ had an idea and wanted to give it a try. Surprisingly, applying it for the first time proved highly effective. Elder Feng, you should try it and see if your back still hurts or if your legs are still weak, and if you feel more energetic when climbing the stairs…”
Yang Zhen’s nonsensical speech left everyone in a state of confusion, clearly aware that Yang Zhen was unwilling to share the details.
In reality, by discussing the principles of Yin and Yang, Yang Zhen had already opened a door previously unseen to Meng Tinghao and the elderly man in purple, leading them into another realm: where could they dare to ask for more?
Feng Jingtu looked at Yang Zhen ardently, then at his lively and exuberant grandfather; tears streaming down his face again.
In gratitude for his resurrection, those had been his grandfather’s words about Yang Zhen. Hence, clearly in his grandfather’s heart, Yang Zhen was a savior. The savior of his grandfather was the preserver of the entire Feng Family, and also the benefactor of the whole Mountain and River City.
Feng Jingtu kowtowed to Yang Zhen thrice. When he raised his head, Yang Zhen had disappeared. He hastily searched only to find Yang Zhen and his grandfather standing beside him.
So the Heavenly Realm’s expert was truly extraordinary, his control of his aura was immaculate to the point where Feng Jingtu at the Mahayana Phase could not even sense it.
Feng Jingtu took a deep breath and stared at Yang Zhen intently. In his eyes, all the rumors and impressions about Yang Zhen quickly shattered into pieces.
Although Yang Zhen was petulant, selfish, and brazen, he possessed a character that was unreachable for most people.
He had not accepted any of the three bows!
At that moment, Feng Jingtu suddenly realized what Yang Zhen intended. His heart pounded at this realization.
Yang Zhen’s talent was, undoubtedly, higher than that of the entire Feng Family combined. However, Yang Zhen at that point was still only a Heavenly Realm practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period. His rate of cultivation seemed exceptionally slow, compared to his potential.
In other words, Yang Zhen was intentionally suppressing his cultivation. As he stayed true to himself in all matters, it’s likely that what he was cultivating…was the great path!
After arriving at this understanding, a storm of shock surged in Feng Jingtu’s heart. He looked at Yang Zhen with a stunned look, his emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
At this moment, Elder Feng, Meng Tinghao, and the elderly man in the purple robe finished their small talk and addressed Yang Zhen, “Young friend Yang, gratitude for saving a life goes without saying. What you desire, as long as this old man’s bones and the Feng Family can provide, we will not hesitate!”
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the Feng Family looked at Yang Zhen, their faces full of shock.
