Swoosh!
Chu Ming sheathed his sword. Seeing the destructive power of this move, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. With this strike, he could easily deal a fatal blow to a Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of the Guiyuan Realm.
"When the blade emerges, dreams shatter like illusions. I’ll name it... Broken Dream!"
Chu Ming muttered to himself.
Broken Dream!
This was the name Chu Ming had given to his new sword technique. When Broken Dream was unleashed, it was as if dreams shattered, and hundreds of sword lights shot out in all directions as if tearing the space apart. Chu Ming felt the name was fitting.
After being in seclusion for a month, he comprehended Broken Dream. However, his cultivation progressed relatively slowly, only breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Seventh Layer of the True Dao Realm.
"Nothing significant happened at Snow Peak during this month, right?"
In the Snow Peak Hall, Chu Ming sat solemnly on a Demon Beast fur chair and asked Wang Qi below.
Wang Qi reported all the incidents, big and small, that had happened over the month. Frankly speaking, Chu Ming was not too worried about any major events occurring in the Great Yan Kingdom now. With his current power, he was comparable to a Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of the Guiyuan Realm, even without using Broken Dream.
If he unleashed Broken Dream, even a Fourth Layer Guiyuan Realm Martial Artist would meet their doom.
After Wang Qi finished speaking, Chu Ming said indifferently, "From now on, I will stay at the Chu Family. If there are any important matters, come to the Chu Family to find me."
It had been four months since he returned to the Great Yan Kingdom. Chu Ming knew that the day he would leave the Great Yan Kingdom was drawing near.
All he could do was spend more time with his family. At this moment, the Great Yan Kingdom was free of Demonic Organization traces, and Snow Peak no longer needed his guard.
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Qi did not dare to resist, clasping his hands respectfully.
Leaving Snow Peak, Chu Ming directly rode a Sky Soaring Eagle towards the Chu Family according to Wang Qi’s information, that Old Cang had already combined the Burning Fire Battleship.
However, the Burning Fire Battleship was too large. Even if left to the Chu Family, deciding where to place it required careful consideration.
Upon returning to the Chu Family, Yu Guxue and Chu He were naturally extremely excited. The Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique, which Chu He had already cultivated to the Fifth Layer, caused Sword Qi to surround his body at all times. With Chu Ming’s keen eyes, he estimated that Chu He could break through to the Guiyuan Realm within six months.
As for Yu Guxue, she had already cultivated to the peak of the True Dao Realm, significantly enhancing her combat strength.
All this was thanks to the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique.
"The Chu Family is planning to migrate to the foot of Cyan Yang Mountain."
Upon seeing Chu Ming, Chu He spoke. Chu Ming thought this was a good idea. This way, he could travel and adventure with peace of mind. Even if the Chu Family faced a formidable enemy, the Cyan Yang Sect’s support would ensure their safety.
Thus, Chu Ming settled down at the Chu Family. Often, he would chat and dine with Chu He and Yu Guxue, cherishing these rare moments of family bliss.
In his free time, he used Middle Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation. In the way of martial arts, without progress, one regresses.
Time passed quickly for a Martial Artist. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. With a month of cultivation, Chu Ming’s cultivation reached the Late Stage of the Seventh Layer of the True Dao Realm.
Now, he could clearly sense that any progress in his cultivation required tremendous effort. Breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm seemed impossible without two years.
At twenty, reaching the Guiyuan Realm at such an age would make him a prodigy. But to Chu Ming, it was still far from enough.
For a Martial Artist to progress quickly, venturing out and seeking opportunities was necessary.
By this time, the Chu Family was ready to move to the Cyan Yang Sect. Over the past month, the Chu Family had gathered many skilled craftsmen to build a large estate at the foot of Cyan Yang Mountain, enough to accommodate the Chu Family.
The Burning Fire Battleship was placed beneath the Chu Family estate. The combined Burning Fire Battleship was more powerful, capable of killing a True Dao Fifth Layer Martial Artist with a single blast.
Chu Ming only taught the startup chants of the Burning Fire Battleship to Chu He and Yu Guxue, not trusting anyone else.
Once the Chu Family had settled, Chu Ming knew it was time for him to leave. Before departing, he shared the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique with the Cyan Yang Sect, for the Cyan Yang Sect was also his home.
Three days later, outside the Chu Family estate, Yu Guxue’s eyes were slightly red as she gave Chu Ming some heartfelt advice.
"Be careful out there. Remember, your life is the most important, no matter what. Understand?"
"I understand, mother!"
Chu Ming’s heart felt a bit heavy.
"Ming’Er has grown up. He can handle his own affairs now."
Chu He sighed. Although Chu Ming’s cultivation wasn’t as strong as his, in terms of combat strength, Chu Ming surpassed him by far. All they could do was silently pray for him in the background.
"Father, mother, please go back now!"
Chu Ming gently told Chu He and Yu Guxue, then leapt onto the back of the Sky Soaring Eagle, waved to them, and vanished into the horizon.
...
After leaving the Chu Family, the first place Chu Ming headed for was the Blood Bee Mountain Range. He had previously obtained two mysterious Beast Maps. Although they were not combined into a complete map, the general location was clear. Back then, due to his lack of strength, going to the Blood Bee Mountain Range was a death sentence, so he had to postpone his plans.
With his current strength, he could now protect himself in the Blood Bee Mountain Range.
The Blood Peak Mountain Range did not belong to any country, but its area alone was equivalent to an intermediate country. Moreover, Seventh Level Demon Beasts were ubiquitous, and in hidden places, even Eighth Level Demon Beasts lurked.
With the Sky Soaring Eagle’s speed, it would take three days to reach the Blood Bee Mountain Range. During these three days, Chu Ming did not waste any time, meditating on the Sky Soaring Eagle’s back, cultivating as he traveled.
Three days later, Chu Ming saw a massive blood-red mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles, resembling a fierce beast ready to pounce at any moment.
This was the Blood Bee Mountain Range. Due to the abundance of Demon Beasts of varying strength, many powerful Martial Artists would enter to hunt Demon Beasts and exchange them for cultivation resources.
After all, joining a sect was not easy. Most Martial Artists in the martial world were lone individuals without background, and the Blood Bee Mountain Range became their treasure trove.
However, most Martial Artists entering the mountain range were at the peak of the True Dao Realm or just breaking into the Guiyuan Realm. Martial Artists above the Third Layer of the Guiyuan Realm were rare. A Third Layer Guiyuan Realm Martial Artist could join any sect and earn a good position and treatment, without having to risk their lives fighting Demon Beasts here.
In this regard, the Blood Bee Mountain Range was considered a treasure trove.
From a distance, Chu Ming leapt off the back of the Sky Soaring Eagle. Riding the Sky Soaring Eagle into the Blood Bee Mountain Range was merely courting death.
