Xiao Yu did not stay for long this time. Wan Sheng Hall was still as it used to be. In fact, Wan Sheng Hall had already fully entered a routine operation phase. His presence there would no longer make much of a difference. With Xiao Hongyang's level, he could already handle matters independently before even becoming Xiao Yu’s disciple. Now that he has become Xiao Yu’s disciple, although Xiao Yu often goes out, Xiao Hongyang still learns a lot of useful knowledge from him.

Moreover, Elder Dai is also currently at Wan Sheng Hall now. With Elder Dai overseeing the place, there will be no issues here.

Xiao Yu did not go anywhere and just sat in consultation at Wan Sheng Hall all day long.

For over a dozen consecutive days, Xiao Yu would sit in consultation at Wan Sheng Hall during the day and work hard on his cultivation practices at night. In order to find his father sooner, he did not waste any time.

After all, he has yet to tell Xiao Jianying about his father’s situation until now. With no clues at hand regarding this matter, he even hesitated to confirm whether his father was alive or dead himself, let alone telling his mother. If he were to give her a glimmer of hope only for it to be shattered later on, he did not know if she could endure the crushing blow.

Deep within an underground tomb, Xiao Yu was currently sitting in meditation cross-legged right at the center of the tomb chamber while Dai Yuxin sat similarly in another corner slowly refining and assimilating the pure Yin energy inside her body. The nine little ghosts were floating around her as well, surrounding her completely.

Then, streams of pure yin energy emerged from Dai Yuxin's body and entered the bodies of these small ghosts. Afterward, a more refined stream of pure yin energy returned to Dai Yuxin’s body from the small ghosts, making it easy for her to absorb and refine it.

Sitting in meditation at the center of the hall, Xiao Yu suddenly frowned as his body began to tremble slightly. With each tremor, an invisible force seemed to emanate from him, dispersing all the malevolent yin energy that had gathered around him.

It turned out that over these days while meditating in the crypt, Xiao Yu's abundant supply of malevolent yin energy caused his yin soul to grow rapidly. Two days ago, his yin soul reached its physical body’s carrying limit, so he was now attempting to breakthrough to the peak stage of the Qi Refinement Period.

In fact, with accumulated time and absorption, Xiao Yu's righteous aura could already break through to the peak Qi Refinement Period. However, in order to succeed in one go, he had been continuously accumulating strength until it reached a natural point for him to advance.

It should be known that in today’s society, others find it extremely difficult to achieve breakthroughs; even Li Qiong who lived at Mount Everest hadn’t seen any signs of progress for decades, despite having a small array formation there. But Xiao Yu was different – although the world's primordial qi had become extremely thin, his righteous aura remained unaffected. Moreover, as he inherited Zhong Kui’s legacy, he didn't have to take many detours.

Furthermore, Xiao Yu’s yin soul could absorb malevolent yin energy, and in his sea of consciousness, the malevolent yin energy absorbed by his yin soul could be converted into righteous aura through his yin soul. This was a unique characteristic of Xiao Yu's yin soul: it absorbed malevolent yin energy but used righteous aura, which came from converting malevolent yin energy into righteous aura.

However, since Xiao Yu’s cultivation level was still shallow, many methods were unusable for him. Even so, the rate at which his cultivation level was growing would shock other geomancy cultivators if it became known. After all, Xiao Yu spent just a few months to refine the peak stage of Qi Refinement Period, while people like Li Qiong had been practicing diligently for over a hundred years but still didn’t see any hope for further advancement.

However, Xiao Yu is different. Since he began his cultivation path, he has been advancing through levels effortlessly and without encountering any bottlenecks.

This relates to the level of cultivation Xiao Yu has reached. Although Zhong Kui's true spirit in his識海 (sea of consciousness) was completely shattered, his insights still remain within him. Therefore, as long as Xiao Yu follows the proper steps for cultivation, he does not face any bottlenecks during the Condensation phase, since this stage is merely a foundational period.

But once he surpasses the Condensation phase and continues to cultivate in the future, Zhong Kui's insights can indeed offer assistance. However, they are only experiences from cultivation, because when one reaches the Foundation Establishment phase, what is required is one’s own comprehension of the universe.

In the tomb chamber, Xiao Yu’s body started trembling more intensely. Suddenly, as his body shook, it wasn’t an invisible vibration emanating from him anymore; instead, rays of golden light burst forth from his body, illuminating the entire tomb chamber in a golden hue.

The moment the golden light emerged, wherever it reached, the Yin煞 (evil) energy rapidly dissipated. Meanwhile, Dai Yuxin, who was meditating, abruptly opened her eyes, staring at Xiao Yu with astonishment; and those small ghosts let out cries before retreating into Dai Yuxin’s body.

The entire underground tomb chamber's Yin煞 energy instantly vanished without a trace due to the golden light emanating from Xiao Yu. At the same time, Dai Yuxin felt that her pure Yin energy seemed afraid and tightly constricted within her body, as if it had encountered an archenemy.

“What is coming out of Master’s body” Dai Yuxin looked at the golden light emanating from Xiao Yu's body with a look of shock, secretly pondering to herself.

Note that Xiao Yu had never mentioned what he was cultivating, and Dai Yuxin hadn't dared to ask either. Therefore, she always thought that the essence energy of heaven and earth was what Xiao Yu was refining, but after seeing this scene, she suddenly became puzzled because although her cultivation time was short, she knew that the essence energy of heaven and earth wasn’t golden yellow.

Suddenly, while in meditation, Xiao Yu's body seemed to act like a black hole, absorbing all the gold-colored light throughout the entire tomb chamber back into his body.

When Xiao Yu absorbed this golden light back into his body, the underground burial chamber returned to darkness. After these rays of golden light disappeared, it didn’t take long before they were replaced by Yin煞qi (malevolent energy).

At that moment, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes while in a meditative state with closed eyes. As soon as he opened them, a beam of golden light flashed from his eyes, but quickly disappeared.

Xiao Yu felt indescribably comfortable now. It was crucial to understand that the peak stage of Essence Qi Cultivation and late-stage Essence Qi Cultivation were completely different concepts. Xiao Yu sensed the righteous essence energy within him; at this moment, the amount of righteous essence energy in his body far exceeded ten times what it had been during late-stage cultivation.

This was also why Li Qiong and others took nearly eighty years to reach the peak stage of Essence Qi Cultivation from the late stage but were unable to break through to the peak after another eighty years.

That’s a tenfold increase! Although advancement is faster in the late-stage compared to earlier stages, due to the limited essence energy of heaven and earth, absorption speed only increases by about twice as fast. In ancient times when there was an abundance of essence energy, late-stage Essence Qi Cultivation was at least ten times that of early stage; but now it can only be around double.arch couldn't help exclaiming in his heart, "There are truly dragon and tiger hidden within this ancient city!"They cautiously walked forward; among these people, apart from Xiao Yu, Song Hushan, and...
