726: C726 Failed

C726 Failed

A few days later, two strong auras exploded in succession above the western mountain. Yang Junshan and Yan Qingxi, who had received the news, immediately rushed to the mountain.

"What's going on?"

Yang Junshan immediately felt that there was something wrong with the two auras. Although they looked sharp, they had a sense of weakness, so he asked.

Yang Junqi and Sang Mu Er, who had been running their spiritual garden all this time, were the first to arrive. Hearing Yang Junshan's question, a hint of worry appeared on Yang Junqi's face as she said, "It's Su Bao Zhang!"

"If this goes on, it's extremely likely that he will fail at advancing to the Dao Realm!" Yan Qingxi's expression was solemn, but her tone was very certain.

The expressions of everyone present changed. The biggest possibility of failure was that they would perish just like that!

Yang Junqi's gaze swept across her face. After a moment, she asked, "What should we do?"

Yan Qingxi shook her head helplessly and said, "No one can help him now, so he can only rely on himself. But in this situation … prepare for the worst!"

Yang Junqi's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Junshan suddenly stepped in between the two of them and asked, "What should we do now?"

Yang Junqi was startled, her expression showed some unwillingness, but she maintained her silence in the end. Seeing this, Mulberry girl pulled her hand from the side to comfort her.

Yan Yingxi looked thoughtfully at Yang Junqi, who was behind Yang Junshan, but she still said, "Prepare to break through at any time. If he fails, you must protect his dantian at the first moment to prevent the backlash from collapsing; bring the best alchemist from the family here, especially those pills that can heal the Dantian's origin. Of course, if there is a Longevity Dan or something like that that that that can extend one's life, that's the best plan, and calling his family over here is the worst case. And if … if there is a chance, we can see the last one!"

Yang Junshan turned around abruptly, and shouted at Yang Junqi and Mulberry who still had astonishment written all over their faces, "What are you still standing there for? Don't you hear? Do as she says!"

Yang Junqi walked past them with her head lowered, and flew down the mountain. Mulberry followed closely behind.

He tried his best to keep his composure, and said: "Although I know that the risk of advancing to the Dao Realm is great, but almost no one, including me, has experienced this kind of thing before. Now, all of a sudden, we are all at a loss, and we don't know what to do, so I'll let you handle the rest of the matter. As long as it's possible to protect Brother BaoZhang's life, it's best if we can protect his cultivation, and Brother BaoZhang is not only my dad's disciple, but also our playmate."

Yan Qingxi reached out to grab his hand and said, "Open up a little. You might encounter this kind of thing again in the future. I can only say that I will do my best!"

While they were talking, Yang Junqi had already called for Peng Shitong, and Mulberry had also brought Zhang Yi and her son over.

Zhang Yi's cultivation level was very low, and if it weren't for the protection of mulberry trees, she wouldn't have been able to get close to Su Baozhang and Yang Junping. However, at this moment, if Su Changan wasn't there to support her, she might have been unable to stand up even if mulberry trees were not there to protect her.

"Young Patriarch, my husband, he, he …"

Yang Junshan glanced to the side, but didn't know that Yang Junqi had already left. He tried his best to calm himself down and comfort her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Nothing will happen to Brother BaoZhang."

As soon as Yang Junshan finished speaking, the aura of Su Bao Zhang, who was still struggling to rise, began to shrink rapidly like a deflated ball. However, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth that was contained within his originally inflated aura was still unceasingly gathering, and as his aura became weaker, it started to surge towards the secret room that he was training in.

"Oh no, the backlash of spiritual energy is coming! Quickly, break the barrier and save him!"

As soon as Yan Qingxi finished speaking, Yang Junshan disappeared in a flash. Zhang Yi could no longer stand, and her body fell limply to the ground. Yan Qingxi ignored her and grabbed hold of Peng Shitong, chasing after Yang Junshan.

Rumble … The secret chamber of Su Baozhang was broken by Yang Junshan from the outside. Within the secret chamber, Su Baozhang's hair was disheveled like a ghost's, and blood dripped from his chest. His mind was not clear at all.

"Disperse the surrounding spiritual energy, imprison the spiritual energy circulation in his body, and protect his dantian!"

Yan Qingxi's voice came from a distance behind him. Yang Junshan did as he was told, causing Su Baozhang to lose consciousness.

At this time, Yang Junping's aura, which was in the midst of the last sprint, suddenly skyrocketed, sucking in almost half of the heaven and earth spiritual energy that was originally pouring into Su Baozhang's body. In addition to Yang Junshan's expulsion of the magnetic treasure, the backlash after failing the breakthrough was finally stopped.

He glanced behind him, only to see that Yang Junqi had actually caught up so quickly. This caused her to feel quite surprised, it seemed that it was just as Yang Junshan had said, this little sister of his was not simple, and it would not be long before she would have the qualification to rush into the realms of the Dao Realm.

This thought flashed through Yan Qingxi's mind. She then instructed Peng Shitong, "First confirm the damage to his dantian; don't worry about the other injuries!"

She had never encountered such a situation before. Honestly speaking, previously, she had been completely stunned by Yan Qingxi's continuous, forceful and timely response. She was like a puppet that was being held by her when she was acting, and it wasn't until now that she recovered her wits and quickly began to check on Su Bao Zhang's injuries.

"There shouldn't be much of a problem!"

He immediately sealed Su Bao Zhang's Dantian, so he had some understanding of Su Bao Zhang's injuries. However, the Dantian was the source of all cultivators, so it could not be sloppy. Thus, Yang Junshan was not too sure.

Yan Qingxi looked at him but did not say anything. This made Yang Junshan a little embarrassed, and he could only focus on the diagnosis of Su Bao Zhang's injuries.

Outside the secret room, Su Changan rushed over with Zhang Yi. The spiritual energy was so dense that the mother and son were unable to breathe when they got close. They only got close to the secret room when Yang Junshan sent out a ball of Yuan Treasure Light to protect them.

At the same time, after hearing the news, the core cultivators of the Yang family who stayed in Xishan Village, such as Yang Xi, Yang Tian Lin, and the others, also rushed over.

In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, sweat covered Peng Shitong's forehead. Fortunately, she was a woman of some character, and quickly calmed down, and carefully examined Su Bao Zhang's injuries, letting out a sigh of relief. However, he did not seem to relax much, and stood up, saying, "Big Brother, Big Brother Bao Zhang's life is fine, but the source spirit energy in his dantian is leaking.

Yang Junshan's expression became serious, "Is his dantian damaged?"

Peng Shitong's expression was also somewhat puzzled as he replied, "No, it's just that my internal organs were severely injured and my Dantian was not damaged. However, the source of my Dantian's spirit energy is flowing out slowly. It's very strange!"

When everyone heard that his dantian was undamaged, their tensed expressions relaxed. However, they immediately became anxious again.

"Not surprising!"

Everyone turned to look at Yan Qingxi and heard her say, "This is because the backlash of the spirit energy has not completely disappeared yet!"

Yan Qingxi looked at Yang Junshan and asked, "Do you have any spirit items?"

"Yes!"

Yang Junshan didn't hesitate, he waved his hand towards the outside of the secret room. As the protective magic formation began to activate, a pale golden origin earth bead and a drop of spirit water were condensed from the large earth and medium water meridians on the western mountain respectively, and then they directly flew into the secret room and floated in front of Yang Junshan.

"Good stuff!"

Yan Qingxi praised him as she placed the drop of spirit water back into her palm. The drop of water quickly evaporated within his palm, but the water vapor couldn't leave the range of her palm. It only condensed into a ball of white water vapor.

Yan Qingxi turned over her palm and pressed it towards Su Bao Zhang. The water vapor immediately entered his dantian's vicinity and seeped into his body.

Peng Shitong, who had been checking Su Bao Zhang's injuries, quickly said, "Your injuries are healing. The loss of your Dantian's source energy has slowed down. Eh, there is still a large amount of water attributed source energy that has been wasted."

Yan Qingxi then beckoned towards the other Earth Elemental Bead. This Earth Elemental Bead turned into a cloud of pure, dust like source spirit energy in his palm and once again seeped into Su Bao Zhang's Dantian.

This time, Peng Shitong finally let out a breath of relief. He said, "The source of your dantian has stabilized. It will no longer be lost. Your cultivation will be preserved!"

This time, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Their gazes towards Yan Qingxi were filled with admiration and gratitude. Zhang Yi and her mother knelt down towards Yan Qingxi and were quickly helped to their feet.

"There's no need to thank me. His luck is pretty good!"

Yan Qingxi modestly said, "However, his injuries will take at least a year to recover. Within five years, don't think about breaking through to the Reality Realm. Take good care of him during that time!"

Zhang Yi and her son hurriedly nodded their heads in thanks.

"Then you two mother and son can take care of him here. The spiritual energy here is also good for his recovery!"

Yang Junshan said to the clansmen outside, "Well, Brother BaoZhang is fine, let's go. Don't forget that there is one more person who is still trying to break through to the Mortal Realm!"

He had already passed the most dangerous stage of breaking through to the Mortal Realm, and if there were no surprises, the Yang family of the West Mountain would need to add another Mortal Realm expert, but the more it was like this, the more Yang Junshan felt that Su Bao Zhang's failure this time was too much of a pity, because the current situation in the cultivation world was not optimistic, and Yang Junshan felt a deep sense of danger weighing down on his heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yan Qingxi took his arm and placed her chin on his shoulder as she asked. She could feel Yang Junshan's unease.

Yang Junshan turned around and glanced at Su Bao Zhang Bao Zhang Yi and Su Changan were carrying Su Bao Zhang on a stone bed. Su Changan had filled a basin with water, and Zhang Yi was using a wet towel to wipe the blood off Su Bao Zhang's face and tidying up his hair. He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but he felt that Zhang Yi was not paying attention to his movements, but she was looking at Su Bao Zhang with a very gentle gaze.

She wanted to use Su Bao Zhang's injuries to refine some special healing pills, and at the same time, she was also helping him by the side. Moreover, because Su Bao Zhang had failed to advance, she became more worried about Yang Junping's situation, even though Yang Junshan had already informed her that Yang Junping had passed the most dangerous stage, she still insisted on staying behind to wait for Yang Junping to come out, and also wanted to help take care of Su Bao Zhang.

Yang Junshan looked in another direction and found that everyone else had already left. However, he still saw a man hiding in the forest a few hundred feet away from the secret chamber.2

"Is it your little Junqi girl?"

Yan Qingxi followed Yang Junshan's gaze and looked towards the forest in the distance as she asked in a low voice.

Yang Junshan chuckled and said, "Yes, you noticed it too?"

While walking down the mountain with him, Yan Qingxi said with a smile, "I think this is an interesting story. Why don't you tell it to me?"

Yang Junshan sighed and told his about the conflict between the three of them.

Yan Qingxi laughed after hearing this, "You can't blame your little sister Junqi for this, and even more so that Zhang Yi and her son. This is all because of Su Baozhang, what's there to be afraid of hurting him? I'm sorry, but he wants both of them!"

Yang Junshan didn't want to think too much about this matter, so he changed the topic, "Are there many cases of someone failing to advance to become a Spiritual Master in the Tan Xi Sect?"

"A lot!"

Yan Qingxi's tone immediately turned serious, "It's almost every three to two years!"

Seeing Yang Junshan's incredulous expression, Yan Qingxi looked towards the distance. Her tone became a little uncertain, "Do you know how many martial arts cultivators there are in the Tan Xi Sect?"

Without waiting for Yang Junshan to reply, Yan Qingxi continued, "Most of the time, there are more than fifty or sixty people, and at least thirty of them. Among these great circle of cultivators, almost every two or three years, there are people who completely prepare themselves to break through to the Mortal Realm, and some of them have succeeded, but most of them have failed. Among these cultivators, some have died, and some have barely survived but have lost all their cultivation, and some have lost their source energy, while some have managed to retain their cultivation without being able to advance to the next stage.

When Yang Junshan heard his heavy words, he tried to change the topic, "Didn't they say that ten to twenty percent of cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Martial Master Realm are able to reach the Rebirth Realm?"

Yan Qingxi sneered, "You actually believe that? According to this algorithm, the Tan Xi Sect is currently just a dozen or so peak Martial Disciples. Even if one were to break through to the Spiritual Master Stage in two years, after twenty years, there would be one or two cultivators that could successfully advance into the Spiritual Master Stage. In one hundred years, there would be seven or eight of them, and with the average lifespan of a Spiritual Master Stage cultivator, it would take about three to four hundred years to reach that level. Even if there are still two hundred and fifty years left, would a sect be able to accumulate twenty of them in two hundred and fifty years? Furthermore, in these two hundred and fifty years, how many Martial Disciples would choose to break through to the Perfection Stage before reaching the Perfection Stage? According to this algorithm, the number of people in these two hundred and fifty years would be less than thirty.

Yang Junshan was speechless. He was stunned for a long time before he asked, "How many people are able to advance to the Mortal Realm?"

Whether the resources are sufficient, whether the sect supports them, whether they perish in the middle, and so on, there are too many unexpected situations. If there really is one that needs to be explained, it should be that of all the cultivators who have advanced to the great circle of the Martial realm, the one who finally has the qualifications to break through to the Spiritual Master realm is only twenty to ten. In other words, most of those cultivators at the Great Circle of the Martial Realm do not even have the qualifications to break through to the Spiritual Master realm.

To cultivators, this topic was both heavy and realistic. It wasn't until they walked down the western mountain that the two of them contemplated. However, they didn't say anything more.

Puff

Suddenly, the sound of a bird flapping its wings broke the silence between the two.

Yan Qingxi said in surprise, "Why are there demon birds here? Don't tell me your Formless Lightning Array is just to scare people?"

Yang Junshan suddenly woke up from his stupor and held down Yan Qingxi, who was about to take action. He said, "No, I'm here to deliver a letter."

Ignoring Yan Qingxi's surprise, Yang Junshan waved towards Crow, who had been frightened by their auras to the point of not daring to come close. The crow finally flew over, trembling, landing on Yang Junshan's shoulder and let out two caw sounds.

"Aiya, that sounds really bad. Where did you find these crow demons? Why are you using them to send a letter?" Yan Qingxi could not help laughing, but her heart was filled with curiosity.

Yang Junshan took a paper cylinder from the crow demon's leg and unrolled it. He looked at it with a shocked expression. He was emitting an imposing aura. The trees on both sides of the road were bent down!

Yan Qingxi knew that something was wrong and quickly grabbed his hand and asked, "What, what happened?"

Yang Junshan passed the paper slip to Yan Qingxi and said, "The Demonic Cultivators of the twelve Demonic Peaks of Qu Wu Mountain have left the mountain and are heading northwest from Hu Yao County!"

Yan Qingxi opened the note and took a look. It was indeed as Yang Junshan had said, but there was a second half of the note, "... Yang Junxiu and Bao Yu'er were taken away by the twelve True Demonic Peak Demonic Cultivators. Hu Yao County only has Xiong Zhuang and I as guards, we need to monitor Xiong Ba and cannot deliver the letter in person.

5000 words, because it really wasn't easy to unravel and develop, he might as well finish writing it together before uploading it. That was why he was so late. Today was the first chapter, so he had to forgive this!

After receiving the editorial notice last night, he had to organize the outline of < Nine Transformations of True Spirits >. He also received a lot of requests and had to busy himself throughout the night.
