"This...this is the aura of the True Essence Realm!"
"Could it be that Gao Chenghe has broken through to the True Yuan Realm?"
"How is that possible!"
The Liu family members' expressions changed drastically, and they fell into panic.
Liu Yuquan's face also looked very grim.
Gao Meizhi was overjoyed and turned to look into the depths of the mansion.
Gao Chenghe burst into wild laughter as he soared into the sky, his aura raging like a hurricane.
"Liu Yuquan, you're too late. I just broke through!"
"Since you dare to attack our Gao family and even tried to kill my beloved wife, you won't leave here alive today!"
Riding on the momentum of his recent breakthrough, Gao Chenghe swooped down and threw a punch at Liu Yuquan.
Liu Yuquan was also at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, so in theory, he could have fought Gao Chenghe to a draw.
However, Gao Chenghe has just broken through, and his internal energy draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making him far superior to a martial artist in the early stage of the True Essence Realm.
This is why, in the short few breaths after a martial artist breaks through to the next level, their strength can be greater than that of others at the same level!
Click!
Liu Yuquan raised his arms to block, but Gao Chenghe shattered his arms with a single punch, sending him flying backward and spitting out bright red blood.
With a single strike, Gao Chenghe severely injured Liu Yuquan, who was at the same cultivation level!
"Give me your life!"
Gao Chenghe roared as he charged toward Liu Yuquan and the rest of the Liu family, his body radiating murderous intent.
"Run! Run! Gao Chenghe has just broken through, his momentum is too strong, we can't fight him head-on!"
Liu Yuquan, without bothering to wipe the blood from his mouth, turned and fled. The rest of the Liu family members also hurriedly fled the Gao family compound.
Gao Chenghe did not give chase.
He knew that his strength stemmed from his recent breakthrough, which allowed his internal energy to resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Once things stabilize, the period of dominance will pass.
And this period of time will not last long.
Therefore, rashly chasing after them will only put you in danger.
We have already severely injured Liu Yuquan, the head of the Liu family, which is enough!
Gao Chenghe returned to Gao Meizhi and said with concern, "Madam, are you alright? I'm sorry to have made you suffer."
"It's alright."
Gao Meizhi shook her head excitedly, then, with tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Gao Chenghe's arms.
The guards of the Gao family around him got up from the ground and bowed respectfully to Gao Chenghe.
"Congratulations, Patriarch, on breaking through to the True Essence Realm!"
Gao Chenghe laughed heartily: "You guys, your monthly pay will triple this month!"
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
The guards all smiled, their expressions showing great satisfaction.
After returning to the inner quarters, Gao Meizhi asked, "Chenghe, did your seclusion go smoothly?"
Gao Chenghe did not answer, but instead asked, "Where is Que'er?"
“When the Liu family arrived just now, I had the maid take Que’er to the underground ancestral hall. You said that it is the most secret and safest place in our family, so… you won’t blame me for disturbing the spirits of our ancestors, will you?” Gao Meizhi asked.
"No, no, at such a critical moment, how can we care about so much? Besides, doesn't Que'er often run into the ancestral hall?" Gao Chenghe waved his hand and said with a smile.
After a pause, Gao Chenghe said again, "Madam, quickly bring Que'er here, I have something to ask her."
Inside the ancestral hall, the young girl knelt before the memorial tablet, rambling on and on.
The two maids stood to the side, not daring to breathe.
After all, this was the Gao family's underground ancestral hall, and according to the rules, these two maids were not qualified to enter.
"Ancestor, do you think my father can break through to the True Essence Realm?"
“My father has been cultivating very hard, but he has never been able to break through to the True Essence Realm. This time he should succeed, right? Father’s luck won’t always be so bad.”
The night wind behind the memorial tablet almost laughed.
Go Sung-ha's luck remains as bad as ever.
He failed to break through six times in a row. If it weren't for the sixth-grade spiritual pill, the Heavenly Origin Pulse Protector, that he wouldn't have succeeded on the seventh attempt either, and would have certainly died on the spot.
"Grandmother, you will surely bless Father, won't you?"
"I'm giving you this to eat. You must bless your father to succeed!"
The little girl rummaged through her clothes and finally pulled out a piece of flaky pastry wrapped in yellow paper.
"Miss, why did you hide the food in your clothes?"
"Yes, miss, your clothes are much more expensive than your food."
The little girl ignored them and put the flaky pastry into the large bowl.
Her face showed reluctance, as if she couldn't bear to offer the sesame cakes to the night wind.
But after thinking about her father, the little girl finally put the fried pastry into the big bowl and slurped her saliva.
"I've given you all my favorite fried pastries. Please bless my father. I haven't eaten any of them; I've given them all to you," the little girl said, her expression somewhat somber.
With a wave of his right hand, Ye Feng made the flaky pastry in the large bowl disappear, and when it reappeared, it was already in Ye Feng's hand.
This bizarre scene caused the two maids' expressions to change drastically.
The little girl was overjoyed and pointed at the empty big bowl, shouting, "Did you see that! Did you see that! The ancestor ate the offerings! The ancestor has appeared! The ancestor will surely bless Daddy!"
The two maids looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.
Night Breeze took a bite of the flaky pastry and nodded in satisfaction.
Hmm, it tastes good.
It's too oily, a bit greasy.
It would be perfect if you added two cloves of pickled garlic at this point.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside.
"Sparrow, come out quickly! Your father has successfully broken through! Our family no longer needs to fear the Liu family!"
The little girl was overjoyed and ran outside immediately, followed by the two maids.
As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, the little girl saw her father, Gao Chenghe, sitting in a chair, looking at her with a big smile.
"father!"
The little girl ran over happily and buried her head in his arms.
Gao Meizhi also came in and sat down next to Gao Chenghe.
Only then did Gao Chenghe finally say, "Actually, my seclusion tonight was not smooth. I failed to break through six times in a row and suffered serious internal injuries. At that time, I was completely despondent and thought that it would definitely end in failure."
Upon hearing this, Gao Meizhi's heart leaped into her throat.
"So how did you finally succeed?" Gao Meizhi asked.
"Thanks to the elixir that Que'er gave me! I don't know what happened at the time, but I took the elixir that Que'er gave me without thinking. Then my meridians began to repair rapidly, and my true energy was replenished all at once. Then I easily broke through the bottleneck and became a True Yuan Realm martial artist!"
"Although I don't know what kind of elixir it is, I'm certain it's a high-grade elixir, at least a sixth-grade, or even a seventh-grade!"
