Chapter 12: Heartache (Please recommend and collect ~!)

  Three years, neither short nor long, Yang Tianwen gradually regarded Li Dage as his own grandfather. From a young age, Yang Tianwen had never experienced the care of relatives and finally savored the taste of kinship.

  The Destiny Sky Plate now has nine layers, and for three years, Yang Tianwen has not stopped studying it. However, the progress is really unsatisfactory. How many grids does a nine-layered Destiny Sky Plate have? After shuffling, reassembling it would be extremely difficult. Yang Tianwen began to feel lucky about his first wish, otherwise, he might not be able to solve even the sixth level in his lifetime. Yang Tianwen was not in a hurry, not at all, and since everything is fine now, most of his time and energy were still spent on "Zi Xiao Bao Lu".

  Xiaobai's appetite has been increasing over the years, but his height hasn't grown at all. However, Yang Tianwen, having studied science, didn't mind.

  After lunch, Yang Tian asked Xiao Bai to go out and work. Actually, there was nothing much to do, as most of the work had been done, so they finished quickly.

  Xiao Bai just happened to drag back the prey, after a busy time, and enjoyed another wild meal. Yang Tianwen also sat down as usual, meditating and cultivating his energy. Yang Tianwen particularly liked these peaceful days without any waves, perhaps it was because of his calm nature or maybe it was a habit he had cultivated before.

  Yang Tianwen's temperament is absolutely perfect for cultivating true energy, and as a result, the speed of accumulating pre-heavenly purple energy is getting faster and faster. This piece of land was opened up by Yang Tianwen himself, and it's also quite far from the village, so he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed. Besides, isn't Xiao Bai right next to him?

  It was unclear how long it had been when Xiao Bai suddenly let out a loud "Wooooo!" and startled Yang Tianwen awake.

  "What's wrong?" Yang Tian asked, feeling a bit strange. Normally, Xiao Bai would only call when it was time, but now that he looked at the sky, it seemed like it wasn't time yet. The cultivation of "Zi Zai Da Dao" was as smooth as flowing water, progressing gradually and steadily, so there was no risk of going crazy after being interrupted.

  After a while, Yang Tian asked and only then did he realize that someone was running over this way. He found it strange as there seemed to be no one around here normally. At most, fewer than ten people in the village knew he was here.

  "Yang, hurry back, something's happened to Li...Li the elder!" The newcomer shouted breathlessly.

  Yang Tianwen listened and immediately performed a divine movement technique, transforming into a residual shadow that rushed towards the village. Xiao Bai followed closely behind him.

  In less than a few minutes, they rushed into the yard, and there were also many people in the yard.

  Yang Tianwen didn't say much, and directly rushed into Li Dage's room. What he saw was a dying Li Dage, with multiple bruises all over his body, looking extremely terrifying.

  "What's wrong? What is this?" Yang Tian asked.

  "Hey... Old Man Li fell down from the mountain this afternoon..." The village doctor replied.

  Yang Tianwen didn't understand the method of treatment at all, and could only anxiously wait. Although he had an extraordinary true energy, he didn't know how to use it and didn't dare to use it recklessly. "How is the master's injury?"

  The doctor let out a long sigh, turned around with a regretful face and left, even carefully closing the door behind him. Yang Tian could clearly hear the doctor's voice coming from outside: "Everyone go back, ah~~~ Return to Tiān Fá Shù, return to Tiān Fá Shù ah~~~~"

  Yang Tianwen felt a deep sorrow in his heart, and his eyes were filled with sad emotions, but he couldn't cry no matter how hard he tried.

  Old Lee comforted him, saying: "Xiao Yang, don't be too sad. Everyone will die eventually. I've lived for decades and that's enough. You're a good young man, take care of yourself from now on and don't torment yourself."

  Yang Tianwen didn't respond, quietly listening with his hand grasping Old Man Li's hand.

  "Xiao Yang, under my bed... there's something, you... dig it out." Old Man Li said weakly.

  Yang Tian asked a few questions and dug out the thing, which was a box about four feet long. When opened, it was a sword. A black sword with no reflection at all, only a hole of about 5 cm in diameter on the handle, piercing through the hilt.

  "This... this is the heirloom of my Li family. Actually, I have a grandson, but he's been missing for many years. However, I've always believed that he's still alive. Little Yang, will you promise me one thing?" Old Master Li felt much better and spoke more fluently.

  Yang Tianwen knew it was a phenomenon of reflection and refraction, so he readily agreed: "Okay, sir, please go ahead, I'll definitely answer."

  "Take this sword and leave, if fate allows it, you will meet my grandson, give him the sword. The heirloom of our Li family must not be lost in my hands." Mr. Li's eyes were full of requests.

  "No problem, I definitely will." Yang Tianwen replied without hesitation.

  "Heh heh, actually this is also my wild imagination, maybe he's already gone from the world of the living, who knows. If you can't find him then just forget it, and let you inherit this sword instead." Old Man Li said with a gentle smile.

  Yang Tianwen nodded again and replied: "Alright, don't worry, this sword will definitely be passed down forever."

  Mr. Li smiled and walked away with a peaceful look in his eyes...

  Yang Tianwen didn't cry, but he had a feeling as if he had lost a loved one, which had been suppressing him and made him feel very uncomfortable. It was as if he was about to get lost, at this moment, Yang Tianwen also didn't notice that the true energy in his body suddenly flowed a hundred times faster, and it circulated through all the meridians of his body, without any order.

  "Roar~~~" Xiaobai let out a clear and loud roar, startling Yang Tianwen awake.

  Yang Tianwen reacted when his body's true energy was still intact, but Yang Tianwen did not feel any pain or panic. After practicing the nine major cycles of Qi circulation according to the method, everything returned to normal.

  During the Qi circulation period of "Zi Zai Da Dao", the true energy in the whole body circulated automatically, and this sudden acceleration of pace did not hinder Yang Tianwen much. Yang Tianwen had been practicing "Zi Zai Da Dao" for nearly ten years, and for ten years, he had been circulating his true energy to nourish his meridians every day. With all the meridians on his body fully connected, the two bridges of heaven and earth were already linked. According to the characteristics of "Zi Zai Da Dao", the true energy in his whole body was warm and full of vitality, and it could be controlled at will.

  The long period of Qi refinement in "Zi Zai Da Dao" laid a very solid foundation, and each breakthrough was like water flowing into a canal. Although progress was slow, only those with great perseverance could succeed in practicing this method. However, the only advantage was that it was not easy to go astray or get possessed by evil spirits.
