Chapter 180: Xiao Wu: My Brother Is Different! Returning to Clear Sky Sect!
Regarding the hypocrisy of human soul masters, the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji also let out a cold snort and voiced her opinion in the group.
[Abyss Witch: Heh, the greed of humans is something you can never imagine.]
[Abyss Witch: To human soul masters, a hundred-thousand-year red soul ring is an irresistible temptation that can drive them mad!]
[Abyss Witch: There is not a single human soul master who wouldn't be tempted when facing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. This is their inherent flaw!]
[Abyss Witch: Even that Lin Yuan who writes the diary, if he didn't have that heaven-defying system…]
[Abyss Witch: Just see whether he would be tempted when facing a readily available hundred-thousand-year soul ring!]
Hearing Zi Ji speak about Lin Yuan like this, Xiao Wu became a little displeased and immediately retorted in a soft but stubborn tone.
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: Whether my brother would be tempted by other hundred-thousand-year soul rings, I don't know.]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: But when it comes to the soul ring on me, he definitely, absolutely would not be tempted! I believe in him!]
As soon as Xiao Wu made this love-struck statement, quite a few people in the chat group were rendered speechless. It was simply too much to watch.
Gu Yuena even directly sent a cold laugh and a speechless expression in the group.
[Silver Dragon: Heh, truly foolish beyond saving.]
[Silver Dragon: I don't know what kind of spell that human cast on you to make you so devoted.]
[Silver Dragon: Have you forgotten what Lin Yuan mentioned in the diary about how that hypocrite Tang San plotted for your soul ring?]
[Silver Dragon: Human disguise is the most terrifying. How can you still be so naive, without even a shred of caution?]
Faced with the questioning and admonishment from the ruler of soul beasts, Xiao Wu still stubbornly argued back:
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: He's different from that hypocrite Tang San. He would never harm me!]
[Silver Dragon: Heh.]
...
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
After a long journey, Tang Yuehua finally crossed layer upon layer of iron chain bridges and returned to the reclusive, mountain-sealed Clear Sky Sect.
Regarding Tang Yuehua's sudden return this time, the current sect master Tang Xiao, along with several powerful elders in the sect, all appeared extremely pleased.
Because every time Tang Yuehua returned from the outside world, she would use her financial resources to bring back a large amount of supplies for the sect.
Back when the Clear Sky Sect was forced to seal its gates for so many years after the disaster caused by Tang Hao, it was isolated from the world.
If not for Tang Yuehua staying outside all year round, continuously supplying them with resources…
The daily lives of the lower disciples within the sect would have been even more difficult, to the point where even basic food and clothing might not be guaranteed.
This was also why, when the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, Tang Yuehua, despite being of direct lineage, was the only one allowed to remain outside to struggle and build connections.
As the pavilion master of Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, responsible for teaching etiquette to nobles and aristocrats…
She had access to countless powerful figures, and the wealth she could obtain was naturally astonishing.
Of course, the "wealth" mentioned here only referred to ordinary gold, silver, and basic living supplies.
As for the extremely rare and massive top-tier soul master resources required to set up advanced mimicry training grounds…
Those were beyond Tang Yuehua's strength and financial capability to access or purchase in large quantities.
It could also be said that…
After being forced into seclusion, the cultivation routines of the sect's disciples had become extremely dull.
Aside from basic soul power meditation, they could only practice the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique day after day.
Generally speaking, they simply did not have the conditions to enjoy the support of advanced mimicry training grounds like those in external high-level academies unless the sect reopened to the outside world!
However, this time, Tang Yuehua had returned on an impulse after breaking through in cultivation.
So, the supplies she brought with her were pitifully few compared to previous times.
Inside the ancient and solemn council hall of the sect,
After briefly chatting with her elder brother Tang Xiao and several white-haired elders…
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath and finally spoke solemnly, revealing the true reason for her sudden return.
"Brother, elders," Tang Yuehua suppressed the excitement in her heart and said softly.
"My cultivation… has finally broken through to rank ten!"
"I rushed back this time to request the sect to send people out with me to hunt a suitable soul beast as my first soul ring!"
Upon learning that Tang Yuehua, who had been stuck for decades, had actually broken through to rank ten…
All the elders present widened their eyes in shock, and some even stood up in disbelief.
Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao flashed forward, appearing before his sister Tang Yuehua almost as if teleporting.
He excitedly placed his broad palm on her slender arm, immediately probing with pure soul power.
A few seconds later, an ecstatic light burst out from Tang Xiao's eyes.
He discovered that the circulation of soul power within Tang Yuehua's body was continuous and unceasing. She had indeed successfully broken through from rank nine to rank ten.
While overjoyed, Tang Xiao was also puzzled and quickly asked:
"Yuehua, this… this is simply a miracle! That bottleneck that has troubled you for so many years, how did it suddenly break?"
Faced with her brother's question, Tang Yuehua had already prepared her explanation on the way back.
She feigned a bitter smile, though a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and said gently:
"Brother, you know that all these years, I have never stopped meditating and cultivating."
"And I have also been using Moon Pavilion's financial resources to search for various precious medicinal herbs to nourish my body slowly."
"Just a few days ago, for some reason, I suddenly felt the cultivation within my body completely loosen!"
Tang Yuehua paused, then said apologetically:
"That's also why I was in such a hurry and decided to rush back this time."
"Because I left in such haste, the supplies I brought back this time are a bit less than usual."
Hearing this reasonable explanation, Tang Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Supplies don't matter at all. Those external things are insignificant. The remaining reserves in the sect can still last for quite some time!"
"The fact that you were able to break through the natural limit of innate rank-nine soul power is a tremendous blessing for the sect!"
Of course, this was merely Tang Xiao comforting Tang Yuehua.
After all, given Tang Yuehua's age, she had long passed the optimal period for cultivation, and it had taken so many years just to advance one rank.
Who knew whether, after obtaining her first soul ring, her soul power would once again stagnate as before?
Would it take decades of grinding just to barely increase by one rank again?
