97: The patriarch of the Ye family has broken through to the Cave Heaven!

Zhang Yang stood at the Peak of the Pyramid, various Profound Truths circulating in his Sea of Consciousness, while those dozens of giant light orbs within were still slowly undergoing Fusion.

Looking at the Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists around him, Zhang Yang shook his head slightly; judging by their recovery, they probably wouldn't regain their combat effectiveness until tomorrow morning.

"I'll stay here for another two months. If I still haven't upgraded the Martial Scripture to Heaven Rank by then, I'll go back to the Clear Wind Sect to find Revered Master."

Zhang Yang thought to himself; after all, he had promised the Ye Family Ancestor that he would stay for a few months, and he would certainly keep his word.

If sparring with these people yielded no further improvement later on,

He might really have to return to the Clear Wind Sect to find Revered Master. Only a former Divine Void Realm expert could provide Zhang Yang with enough pressure.

In the evening, not far from Zhang Yang, one of the Ye Family Ancestors suddenly opened his eyes, and his Aura shifted, instantly blowing away many nearby Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists.

At the same time, over the entire Ye Family territory, tribulation cloud gathered in the sky!

The Ye Family Ancestor shed tears of joy; after all these years, he was finally about to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

After so many days, with the help of Zhang Yang's pure Law Intent and the recent battle,

He had finally transformed his ninth-level Concept into Law, gaining enough capital to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

In the next instant, the Ye Family Ancestor's expression turned solemn; although his physical body wouldn't be harmed by the Lightning Tribulation, his Primordial Spirit was incredibly fragile.

His Law Intent had just formed; although it could protect his Primordial Spirit from being destroyed in the Lightning Tribulation, there was still some risk.

"Let's leave first!" Zhang Yang looked at the Ye Family Ancestor with a calm expression; it was merely a Breakthrough to the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yang took his over a thousand wives from the base of the Pyramid and soared into the air, flying into the distance.

The hundreds of Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists nearby looked at the Ye Family Ancestor with envy. They hadn't expected that out of so many people, the Ye Family Ancestor would be the first to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

In the next instant, they also took to the air and flew into the distance.

Having reached the area outside the tribulation cloud, Zhang Yang stopped and looked at his wives:

"Watch closely. It's rare to witness a Martial Artist breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"

The women looked at the distant tribulation cloud with excitement. They never imagined they would witness a Martial Artist's Breakthrough to the Grotto-Heaven Realm! This was an unimaginable Opportunity in the Southern Region!

At the Ye Family estate, countless Ye Family members looked at the distant tribulation cloud in shock!

"Who is it! Who broke through! Isn't that where the Ancestors Cultivate? Could it be that someone has reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm? I wonder if it's one of our Ancestors!"

Some Ye Family members had their suspicions. After all, it was common knowledge now that that location was where all the Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists of the Southern Region cultivated.

Now that there were tribulation cloud there, someone must be breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, though they didn't know who!

Boom!

One Tribulation Lightning bolt after another struck down, enveloping the Ye Family Ancestor below.

The Ye Family Ancestor didn't use any defensive measures, enduring it with his physical body alone. He circulated his newly formed Law Intent, drawing the power of the lightning into his Sea of Consciousness to temper his Primordial Spirit.

With every strike of Tribulation Lightning, although the Ye Family Ancestor's body showed no change, his face was contorted in pain. This was the result of the lightning power tempering his Primordial Spirit.

Once all the Tribulation Lightning had fallen, the Ye Family Ancestor's Yang Spirit completed its transformation, leaping out of his Sea of Consciousness and swallowing the tribulation cloud above in one gulp.

At the same time, his charred body began to crack, and his half-white hair turned completely black and began to grow, cascading over his shoulders like a waterfall.

He instantly transformed from a middle-aged man into a youth, overflowing with vitality and his blood-qi soaring to the heavens!

This was the transformation of life's level when breaking through from the Nascent Transformation Realm to the Grotto-Heaven Realm; his lifespan had directly reached three thousand years!

"Hahaha! I've broken through! I've finally broken through!"

The Ye Family Ancestor laughed joyfully, tears streaming down his face. After years of hard Cultivation, he had finally achieved the Grotto-Heaven Realm! His lifespan had surged by over two thousand years!

Looking at the Ye Family Ancestor who had just broken through, the surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists were filled with envy, but a sense of fighting spirit also rose within them!

With such a great Opportunity present, the talent of some among them was not inferior to the Ye Family Ancestor's, and some even surpassed it.

The Ye Family Ancestor had simply encountered Zhang Yang a bit earlier. Since there was still some time before Zhang Yang left,

During this time, they could completely catch up to the Ye Family Ancestor and achieve the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets, Mu Xu, the other Ye Family Ancestor, the old man presiding over the Heavenly Dipper Demon Subduing Array, and the Martial Artist with golden eyes—they were all full of fighting spirit.

Through long-term Cultivation, they had already reached the limit of the Nascent Transformation Realm. Now, they only needed an Opportunity to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and Zhang Yang was that Opportunity!

Coupled with the recent battle, if they fully digested their gains, they would have enough confidence to sublimate their ninth-level Concepts into Laws and break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm before Zhang Yang left the Ye Family!

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Regardless of what they were thinking, after the Ye Family Ancestor broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, they flew to him to offer their congratulations.

"Yes! Thank you, everyone!"

The Ye Family Ancestor couldn't hide his excitement. The body of the Grotto-Heaven Realm brought him a sense of endless ease,

Making him feel a surge of vigorous vitality, as if his body had returned to its former Peak!

"Congratulations!" Zhang Yang also approached the Ye Family Ancestor.

Seeing this, the Ye Family Ancestor hurriedly bowed and said, "I still have to thank you for your help! Without your pure Law Intent, I never would have broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"

The Ye Family Ancestor looked up at Zhang Yang. Even though he had now broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm,

When facing Zhang Yang, he still lacked any confidence, as if his Grotto-Heaven Realm status was fake!

In the eyes of the Ye Family Ancestor, Zhang Yang was like an unfathomable Chaotic Hole, capable of swallowing everything.

Even though he had broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm and his strength was enough to kill countless versions of his former self,

He still didn't dare to be the least bit negligent when facing Zhang Yang!

After all, the experience from the battle not long ago told him that Zhang Yang's strength was unfathomable.

Even in his current Grotto-Heaven Realm, if he faced the Heavenly Dipper Demon Subduing Array from earlier, he would only be easily killed.

Yet Zhang Yang was able to dismantle the Heavenly Dipper Demon Subduing Array without any effort, which proved just how terrifying his level of strength had reached!

"Mhm." Faced with the Ye Family Ancestor's gratitude, Zhang Yang nodded calmly and accepted it frankly.

"I'll be heading back now."

After saying that, Zhang Yang turned and left, returning to the large room the Ye Family had prepared for him.

His over a thousand wives followed closely behind him.

"Old Ye, I didn't expect you to be the first to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!" Mu Xu approached the Ye Family Ancestor with a smile.

"Hahaha!" The Ye Family Ancestor laughed heartily. Having cultivated hard for centuries and finally breaking through today, how could he not be happy!

The group exchanged pleasantries for a while, then each returned to the Pyramid to begin digesting today's battle.

They all had a drive within them, wanting to become the second person here to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

"Now that you've broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, what do you plan to do? Will you head to the Central Continent, or stay in the Southern Region to expand the Ye Family?" the other Ye Family Ancestor and the current Ye Family Head asked.
