Chapter 470: Chapter 333: I am a Dao cultivator and not very familiar with martial arts!
Xu Yang had a feeling as if he were dreaming, as it all seemed too unreal.
Xu Zhiyuan continued to chatter non-stop.
He looked pleased.
He was genuinely happy about his grandson becoming a Heavenly Master.
He talked at length, even thinking about how many dishes should be served at the “promotion ceremony to the rank of Heavenly Master” and which chefs to invite. He said, “Grandson, you are in charge of two major Ghost Markets and also serve as the dean of Wu City’s Martial Arts Academy. You’re busy with official duties on normal days, so there’s no need for you to worry about the ceremony.”
“Grandpa will take care of it for you.”
“Just remember to come earlier.”
The old man waved his hand, summoning a dark, gloomy “auspicious cloud” made of Yin energy, and left.
Xu Yang tried to keep him, saying, “Grandpa, we don’t have to rush the ceremony, but how about coming to our house tonight for dinner… I’ll ask your granddaughters-in-law to prepare more dishes.”
Granddaughters-in-law…them?
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, Xu Zhiyuan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch!
Damn it!
As a bachelor for most of his life, he had only recently rekindled a relationship with his long-lost lover after returning to the earth as the Earthly City-God a few days ago. At such a young age, this damn child had already married a bunch of wives during the short time he was dead for little over four years.
Furthermore, all these wives were ghosts, demons, and zombies!
It’s simply…
Outrageous!
“No need.”
Though grumbling in his heart, Xu Zhiyuan maintained a kind expression, saying, “Now that I am the Earthly City-God, I have plenty of chances to come home for dinner. The promotion ceremony to the rank of Heavenly Master is more important… Alright, grandpa is leaving!”
With a “swoosh,” the old man rode off on the cloud.
Xu Yang then managed to get a ride from a passing car and returned to the city.
With the two Ghost Markets merging, there were a lot of things to be done.
Yue Yuluo, Yue Qiluo, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, Yun Mengxi, and Yue Niang stayed behind in the Ghost Market, leaving only Long Xiaoxue and Tu Xiaoyu to return home.
Xu Yang asked them why they didn’t stay to help.
Tu Xiaoyu said sweetly, “Xiao Xue said she’s a dragon, and her Dragon Aura is too strong to stay in the Ghost Market permanently, so it’s not good for the Minor Demons… As for me… my sisters told me to go back and take care of your daily needs.”
“……”
Xu Yang gave Tu Xiaoyu a skeptical look.
Feeling underestimated by her husband, Tu Xiaoyu felt upset. She clenched her small fists, shook her cute rabbit ears, and puffed up her cheeks, saying, “Sir, don’t look down on Xiao Yu. I’ve learned a lot from living in the human world these days. I always watch attentively when Shishi and the others are cooking… I’m following more than 80 food bloggers on the internet!”
She put on her apron and rolled up her sleeves, ready to cook.
Xu Yang quickly said, “Xiao Yu, I trust your abilities, but I’ve just had lunch and I’m not hungry yet.”
“Okay!”
Xiao Yu reluctantly took off her apron, saying, “Then I’ll cook dinner for you in the evening.”
“What, what, what?”
Long Xiaoxue suddenly jumped out from somewhere and excitedly said, “Xiao Yu, I’ll help you… Cooking is fun, but Shishi and the others never let me join them. Now that they aren’t here today, we can try our skills!”
Xiao Yu was overjoyed, “It’s my first time cooking, and I was a little unsure… But with my sister to help, I’m sure we’ll succeed!”
Xu Yang: “….”
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, on second thought, Xiao Xue was a flood dragon with strength comparable to a top-tier Land Immortal.
Xiao Yu was a rabbit spirit whose cultivation time was short but had received direct inheritance from a demon immortal, learning the demon immortal arts. Although she didn’t seem to be practicing hard, her cultivation was progressing daily.
Since they were enthusiastic, he let them do it.
Would they be able to demolish the kitchen?
The two big spirits got together, chirping and chattering as they discussed the “content” of their dinner. One of them randomly picked “recipes” from food videos on their phone, while the other one took notes intently.
Xu Yang shook his head and went upstairs.
Upon returning to his bedroom.
After taking a cold shower, Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the system’s property panel in his mind.

His gaze swept towards the “Divine Power” column.
Not to mention that Xu Yang had learned more than 70 entry-level divine powers, among which there were three Malevolent-Deity powers, 69 Earthly-Demonic powers, and 42 that had already formed divine power talismans!
Yes!
Xu Yang had formed 42 divine power talismans!
He had originally thought that in Fengdu City, creating a “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” would mean learning a few dozen divine powers and then grinding more merit and proficiency from ghosts with low courage.
However, the rewards far exceeded his expectations!
Especially these two days.
The system prompt sound in his mind rang every few minutes as the number of divine powers he had learned visibly increased…
Xu Yang estimated that with this speed, in seven days at most, all the divine powers he had learned could form divine power talismans!
“I don’t know what Lord Cui has done in Fengdu City… these ghosts are providing more and more merit.”
“But this is a good thing.”
“Since that’s the case, I can save my nearly 5 million merit points for other aspects!”
For Daoist skills.
There’s no need to waste merit value now.
After all, he was in the Divine Transcendence Realm, and the most important thing in the realm was cultivating divine powers… and now, he was “passively” practicing.
“Primordial Spirit?”
“My primordial spirit is pure Yang, in essence, stronger than most Daoist True Monarchs…”
“Martial Arts…”
“My martial arts are average, and my physical body is only slightly stronger than ordinary Heavenly Being Realm practitioners. Even with the Great River sword aura and essence gained from the Great River Sword Manual, my martial arts cultivation is only at the peak Heavenly Being Realm level.”
“Now that I have so much merit, I might as well learn more…”
Xu Yang acted immediately.
He spent 500,000 merit points to upgrade the Great River Sword Manual to the fourth level.
The sword aura and essence became even more majestic and fierce.
His cultivation almost reached the limit of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm!
“The next realm in martial arts is the Celestial Phenomenon Realm… I don’t know much about martial arts, and I don’t know what to pay attention to when breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?”
“Or are there any anomalies like tribulations…”
To be safe.
Xu Yang didn’t break through at home.
He left the villa, headed west, and arrived at the Yellow River bank. He picked a suitable location before finally calling Wang Hou.
After all…
Wang Hou was the number one martial artist in Da Xia, so consulting him was the right choice!
Soon.
The call connected.
Wang Hou had just returned to Kyoto city a short while ago. He chuckled, “Xu Yang, what’s up? … Is there anything I can help with regarding the Heavenly Master promotion ceremony?”
“That’s not it…”
Xu Yang hesitated for a while and didn’t get to the point through beating around the bush.
Wang Hou said, “You can just say whatever you need. Do we need to be like this, given our relationship?”
“If I tell you, don’t laugh at me!”
Xu Yang said, “You know I’m a Daoist cultivator, and I don’t know much about martial arts.”
Wang Hou raised his eyebrows.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, and solemnly asked, “What then?”
Xu Yang: “I want to break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm in a while. Can you tell me what to pay attention to during the breakthrough?”
Wang Hou: “…”
Damn!
This bastard is here to show off!
