Chapter 100: Auntie’s Words Must Be Heeded!

Leading them, Nalan Feng looked down at the Tianlong Clan below, behind him stood numerous powerful experts from the aristocratic families.

One expert excitedly asked, “Brother Nalan, when do we make our move?”

Nalan Feng calmly replied, “No rush, let’s wait for that person from the Tianxing Civilization.”

Someone was shocked, “The Tianxing Civilization is willing to help?”

Nalan Feng smiled faintly, “They will still give face to my Nalan Clan.”

Everyone laughed.

Deep within the earth veins,

When the white-haired woman appeared again with Ye Tianming, they had already reached the deepest part of the underground. Not far ahead of them, deep within a pool of magma, floated something resembling a human heart, though it was earth-yellow in color.

The surrounding temperature was extremely high, but a mysterious force protected Ye Tianming’s body.

The white-haired woman looked ahead, “This is the Heart of the Earth, the heart of the land.”

Ye Tianming gazed solemnly at the Heart of the Earth. He could feel that it contained extremely terrifying energy. If he could devour it, wouldn’t he soar to new heights?

He felt somewhat excited and expectant, but quickly calmed down.

Ye Tianming turned to look at the white-haired woman, “Senior, I feel it probably won’t let me devour it.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Under normal circumstances, it absolutely wouldn’t let you devour it, but…”

As she spoke, she turned to look at the Heart of the Earth and transmitted her voice with profound energy. No one knew what she said, but the Heart of the Earth suddenly began to tremble. The next moment, it actually slowly flew before Ye Tianming.

The white-haired woman said, “Now you can.”

Ye Tianming looked at the white-haired woman with shock written all over his face.

The white-haired woman gently rubbed his head and smiled, “Remember, many times, connections are more important than hard work.”

Connections are more important than hard work!

Ye Tianming nodded slightly, “I understand.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “This Heart of the Earth hasn’t indicated it will directly submit to you. It’s only willing to give you a chance. You still need to pass its test. If you cannot pass its test, then it won’t merge with you.”

Ye Tianming looked at the Heart of the Earth before him, somewhat curious, “What test?”

The white-haired woman said, “Bear the weight of the earth.”

Ye Tianming was somewhat puzzled. At this moment, the white-haired woman suddenly glanced at the Heart of the Earth, which immediately transformed into a golden light and entered Ye Tianming’s brow.

Boom!

In an instant, Ye Tianming’s eyes widened as two beams of golden light shot out from them.

Pure and surging power of the earth!

“Ah!”

Ye Tianming suddenly threw his head back and roared. His facial features twisted and deformed in this moment. He felt as if his body was suddenly crushed by a mountain. His flesh instantly tightened like a bowstring, then gradually began to crack. Not just his flesh, he felt his internal organs and all his bones were cracking in this moment.

Ye Tianming said in a trembling voice, “Senior, I can’t bear it.”

The white-haired woman calmly said, “If you feel you can’t bear it, then give up. It’s okay.”

Ye Tianming: “…”

Soon, Ye Tianming’s entire body began to seep blood. In a short time, he had become a bloody figure.

Ye Tianming felt like he was about to explode.

However, he didn’t choose to give up.

For him, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he chose to give up this chance, he might never encounter it again.

Endure!

Ye Tianming clenched his teeth tightly. Soon, he heard the ‘crack crack’ sounds of all his bones.

Ye Tianming thought to himself, “Tower Ancestor… am I going to die?”

Little Tower said, “Then give up!”

Ye Tianming said in a trembling voice, “Tower Ancestor, I can’t bear to leave you!”

Little Tower: “…”

As time passed bit by bit, Ye Tianming’s face had become completely unrecognizable. Not only that, his consciousness began to gradually blur. At this moment, he was holding on with just one breath.

Little Tower couldn’t help but worry, “Mistress…”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Don’t worry, the Heart of the Earth knows what it’s doing.”

Little Tower said, “His physical body seems to be changing.”

The white-haired woman nodded slightly, “The power of the earth is tempering his physical body and his foundation. For his current physical body to improve further, he must break through his own limits.”

Little Tower said, “Should I open the space inside my tower to him now?”

The white-haired woman thought for a moment and shook her head.

Little Tower said, “If he doesn’t cultivate inside the tower, I’m afraid it will be difficult to contend with that Yang Jia boy… This isn’t quite fair to him.”

It had actually wanted to open the tower space to Ye Tianming for a long time, but unfortunately, this guy was just too honest. It had to be said, after following three generations of the Yang family, suddenly switching to someone so honest, it really wasn’t used to it.

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming and said softly, “This guy might not need the space inside at all…”

Little Tower: “…”

Ye Tianming lay not far away, his entire body curled into a ball, trembling. His will was on the verge of collapse at this moment.

Several times, he felt like he was going to die, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Just as Ye Tianming’s physical body was about to completely shatter, much of the earth vein power suddenly wrapped around his body. That extremely pure earth vein power began to rapidly merge with his body. Gradually, his body began to change.

Ye Tianming’s consciousness also gradually began to recover. He felt that the Heart of the Earth was actually beginning to merge with his own heart.

About an hour later, Ye Tianming felt his vital energy had recovered by half. He slowly got up. He looked down at his body and was surprised to find that his body had completely recovered.

Ye Tianming looked up at the white-haired woman in the distance. The white-haired woman smiled, “Try throwing a punch.”

Ye Tianming clenched his right fist and suddenly threw a punch.

Boom!

With this punch, the magma within a hundred zhang instantly turned to ash and evaporated.

Ye Tianming looked at his fist in shock. His current strength had increased by at least five times compared to before.

The white-haired woman said again, “Feel the Heart of the Earth within your body.”

Ye Tianming slowly closed his eyes. Soon, he felt a special connection between himself and the Heart of the Earth, just like with the Transcendent Sacred Seal.

The white-haired woman said, “Use it and throw another punch.”

Ye Tianming nodded. He suddenly clenched his right hand and threw a punch. In an instant, a terrifying earth fist aura swept across the field. The space within several hundred zhang directly collapsed, turning into pitch darkness.

Ye Tianming was shocked in place, looking at his fist in disbelief. He hadn’t used much force just now.

The white-haired woman smiled slightly. She brought Ye Tianming to the surface. She looked at the still-shocked Ye Tianming, “Feel the Heart of the Earth again. Remember, consider yourself as the earth.”

Ye Tianming nodded. He slowly closed his eyes. Soon, the entire earth began to tremble slightly.

Ye Tianming suddenly became excited, because he felt endless earth vein power. No, it wasn’t just feeling it, but rather that endless earth vein power was stored within his body. At this moment, his feeling was that he was the earth!

Ye Tianming suddenly opened his eyes, “Rise!”

Boom!

In an instant, a three-thousand-zhang dharma form appeared behind him.

Three thousand zhang!

Ye Tianming was extremely excited, because previously, his dharma form could only condense to a thousand zhang at most, but now, his earth vein dharma form could condense to three thousand zhang. This was something only a Suiyue Immortal could achieve. Moreover, he felt that this earth dharma form behind him was different from before, the quality was different. His current dharma form was entirely earth-gold in color, containing endless earth vein power. Its might was definitely far superior to an ordinary three-thousand-zhang dharma form.

As if thinking of something, Ye Tianming suddenly opened his palm, and a sheathed earth qi sword appeared in his hand. He suddenly drew it.

Hum!

With a sword cry echoing through the air, a nearly thousand-zhang-long sword qi shot through the sky, directly tearing a huge gash in space, finally slashing down fiercely on the distant ground, tearing a bottomless huge crevice in the earth.

Sixty stacks of Heaven-Slashing Sword Drawing Technique!

Ye Tianming looked at the sword in his hand, extremely excited. He discovered that after devouring this Heart of the Earth, his physical body had also been greatly enhanced. Soon, he understood that his current endurance was much, much stronger than before.

The white-haired woman suddenly said, “This Heart of the Earth has now merged with your heart. For your current realm, the power of the earth can be said to be endless, but your body and spiritual power are not yet sufficient to fully unleash its complete might. You will need to slowly and continuously explore it in the future. Its benefits are far more than you imagine.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Understood.”

He also felt it. This Heart of the Earth was infinitely profound, with many aspects to be developed.

The white-haired woman continued, “Because you know four types of dharma forms, and there may be more in the future, plus your stacking Heaven-Slashing Sword Drawing Technique, this places very strict requirements on your physical body and spiritual power. You must improve your physical body and spiritual power for these dharma forms to truly unleash their power.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “I understand.”

The white-haired woman continued, “I’ve looked, and that Transcendent Sacred Seal between your brows is very suitable for you now. You can make good use of it to improve your spiritual power. As for your physical body, your current physical realm has reached the limit that your current realm and will can achieve. To improve further, you can only elevate your will… But there’s no rush for this. What you need next is actual combat. True experts are definitely not cultivated through training, but forged through countless real battles.”

Ye Tianming said somewhat excitedly, “Senior, I also want actual combat.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “The Ancient Front Civilization has sent people. They said they hope you’ll return with them to hold an engagement ceremony.”

Ye Tianming hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, should I leave now?”

The white-haired woman said, “I’ll see you off part of the way.”

Ye Tianming was slightly startled, then understood. The Guanxuan Universe would definitely not let him go. Her seeing him off was obviously to protect him. He didn’t refuse and immediately bowed deeply, “Thank you, Senior.”

The white-haired woman smiled slightly, “Go pack up first.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Alright.”

With that, he turned and left.

At this moment, Fu Shun and numerous Tianlong Clan experts appeared on the scene. Fu Shun said in a deep voice, “Ancestor, are you leaving the Tianlong Clan?”

The white-haired woman looked up toward the depths of the starry river and said softly, “It’s time to leave.”

Fu Shun said somewhat worriedly, “The Guanxuan Sword Master once decreed that our Tianlong Clan’s sins…”

The white-haired woman smiled faintly, “Auntie’s words must be heeded.”

The Tianlong Clan’s sins have been absolved.

Fu Shun hesitated, then said, “Are that plain-dressed senior’s words greater than even the Guanxuan Law?”

The white-haired woman said softly, “As long as she wishes, let alone the Guanxuan Universe, the entire universe will cease to exist…”
