The stars were sparse, but lanterns had already been lit everywhere, making the entire Ye family's courtyard a deep red. Ye Tianfan had also finished his work and sat cross-legged on the ground. He slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the faint night sky, muttering to himself: "This Taiji and Wu Xing must have some connection, practicing them together has an indescribable effect, I feel that my physical body and spirit have both made great progress, I believe it won't be long before I can break through to the first stage of the first period."
The words carried a faint joy. "Right, in the fist method it says that from nothingness comes Taiji, which divides into two instruments, two instruments divide into four images, and four images perform eight trigrams, all of which emphasize balance, and isn't the most difficult thing to grasp about the five elements their mutual generation and restraint?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was right, and the more excited he became, making him want to throw his head back and let out a long howl.
Although there was an impulse to tell his parents about this matter, he wanted to wait until he had achieved something before telling them, giving them a surprise. He quickly returned to his calm and peaceful state, after all, he had read and seen too many examples, controlling one's emotions is very important, being able to remain unmoved even if Mount Tai were to crumble in front of him would be the best, although Ye Tianfan couldn't do that, his mindset had already matured, no longer a weak and ignorant young boy, he also knew what was important and what wasn't.
From that day on, Ye Tianfan practiced the Five Elements Spirit Technique during the day, absorbing and spitting out large amounts of five elements spirit energy from the heavens and earth, no matter how much, he accepted them all without exception, absorbing and strengthening his physical body. At night, he repeatedly practiced Tai Chi Fist, because Ye Tianfan discovered that the more times he practiced, the stronger his control over the five elements spirit energy became. After all, controlling five types of spirit energy was very difficult, even impossible, and as one's realm grew higher, it became even harder to control. However, Tai Chi Fist perfectly solved this problem, making the impossible possible, and also created a legendary life for Ye Tianfan.
Because he knew he wasn't a so-called genius, he had always worked hard, because he believed in one sentence: diligence can make up for clumsiness. The heavens reward diligence, and before he knew it, two years had passed, and Ye Tianfan had also cultivated to the peak of the third stage of the first realm, which was the peak of the Golden Elixir period. Moreover, there was a faint feeling of breaking through to the second layer, but it was just that his spiritual energy was insufficient. As long as his spiritual energy was sufficient, he could advance at any time.
In these two years, two major events occurred. Firstly, Old Master Ye Qin broke through the Nascent Soul stage and reached the early stages of the Separation and Reunion Tribulation, which was a cause for celebration throughout the clan as a family of cultivators valued ultimate combat power above all else, and the Nascent Soul stage was already considered top-tier in the entire Tianqi Star. Secondly, Ye Tianfang's parents, Ye Feng and his wife, had another child, whom they named Ye Tianchen, with the hope that he would shine like the stars in the sky.
Since the birth of his younger brother Ye Tianchen, everyone was worried that it would be a waste of spiritual roots like last time. So, when he was one year old, they tested the properties of his innate spiritual roots. The result naturally did not disappoint anyone, and Ye Tianchen turned out to be a Golden Spiritual Root, causing the entire family to boil over with excitement. Because everyone knew what this meant - it meant that the Ye family would produce a strong Quasi-Transcendent, and as long as he didn't die prematurely, becoming a Transcendent was an absolute certainty.
The existence of Tian Linggen is something that no sect can ignore, and it's not possible for him to be harmed, so in the process of his growth, the possibility of being killed is zero. It can be foreseen that Ye Tianchen will definitely be taken as a closed-door disciple by the Dadaomen, and his future prospects will be boundless. The entire family will also rise to prominence because of this, and it's not impossible for them to regain their ancestral glory. Therefore, everyone likes and loves him even more.
Because everyone knows that Ye Tianfan can't cultivate, they put more effort into teaching Ye Tianchen, letting him cultivate as soon as possible and strive to have the power to protect himself before the age of ten. This is because Old Man Ye Qin has already decided to send him to the Tianjian Sect at the age of ten. As the sect with the strongest attacking power among the sword cultivators, it is one of the top three sects of the Tianqi Star Orthodox School. The other two sects, the Muling Sect and the Huoshen Sect, are also very powerful, but only the Tianjian Sect is in a leading position. Ye Tianchen will definitely make great progress there. Old Man Ye has already spoken with the elder of the Tianjian Sect, who will come to take him away at the age of ten. Although Ye Feng and his wife have countless regrets, they can only agree for the sake of their son's future development.
After that, everyone took out more time to accompany him, fearing that he would leave home for the sect at such a young age and even urged him to cultivate. Ye Tianfan was also very happy, after all, he couldn't cultivate before, which hurt everyone's heart, now his younger brother's appearance just solved the problem, making the whole family full of vitality again, and he could relax and find his own cultivation path. Thinking of this, he only felt relaxed, calming down, slowly experiencing this mystery, half a moment later, Ye Tianfan's body shook, opened his eyes, saw that his realm had advanced another layer, feeling that he could break through the second layer first stage at any time, thinking that it was not far from leaving home, thinking of this, he unconsciously felt some sadness, but turning around and thinking again, it wasn't like they couldn't meet again, what's there to be sad about? Thinking of this, he became happy again, just wanting to go early and return early, to bring glory to the family.
However, thinking that he had learned from various books that human hearts are treacherous and it's hard to protect oneself without any means of attack, although he had reached the peak of the Golden Elixir, he didn't have any attacking techniques. He might not even be able to defeat a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator. This thought sparked an idea in him to create his own technique. As soon as this idea formed, he couldn't wait to put it into practice.
Thinking of this, he hastily made his way to the library, not even bothering to greet anyone along the way. Everyone was taken aback by his sudden change in behavior, as he had always been enthusiastic about greeting them before. They looked at him with a mixture of surprise and concern, but Ye Tianfan didn't care about their gazes, only focusing on rushing to the library.
What everyone didn't notice was that Ye Tianfan's speed was far from ordinary, exceeding theirs by a huge margin. They were still wondering what urgent matter had caused Ye Tianfan to rush off in such a hurry. It wasn't until he had walked quite far away that someone behind him asked, "Young Master, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, yes." Someone echoed. "Who knows, maybe there's something urgent, otherwise why wouldn't he greet us like usual?" A beautiful young woman said. As soon as she spoke, several self-satisfied and handsome men immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, Ruyan you're really clever to think of this." The one called Ruyan was initially quite pleased, but upon hearing the last sentence, her face turned dark, thinking that such a simple question would be attributed to her being able to think of it, wasn't that an insult to her intelligence? Heaven knows what those sycophants would think if they knew.
