19: Talking with Yan Kui

"Huh? I messed up? I didn't do anything!" Jiang Ye was utterly confused, his eyes wide, filled with innocence and bewilderment.

"Sigh! I won't bother mentioning it. Now, only you can save me, it just depends on whether you are willing." Yan Kui sighed softly, his expression slightly helpless.

"Of course, I'm willing! So what exactly do I need to do to get you out?" Jiang Ye pressed eagerly, his gaze radiating determination and persistence.

Yan Kui looked up at the dark sky, remaining silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Originally, there was still plenty of time, but that accident indirectly accelerated the operation of this Formation. Now, there are probably only ten years left. If you can fully Awaken the Pure Yang Body, you can directly break this Formation. Otherwise, after ten years, I will be completely consumed here."

"What? Are you talking about the time I cracked my head open when I was eight? This... then how can I fully Awaken the Pure Yang Body?" Jiang Ye was so astonished his mouth hung open, his heart filled with disbelief.

"I have already guided your Awakening. As long as you continuously grow stronger, the speed of your Awakening will increase. You must at least reach the ranks of the top powerhouses on this continent." Yan Kui's expression was solemn and his tone serious.

Jiang Ye lowered his head and fell into contemplation: "In ten years, I must reach at least the fifth stage of the Divine Profound Realm. I only reached the fifth stage of the Earth Profound Realm after Cultivating for five years, and subsequent Realm Breakthroughs are getting harder and harder. To Breakthrough faster, the only way is to constantly fight strong opponents."

Yan Kui said, "This is the Lower Profound Domain. With your current Realm, you are basically invincible here. You need to go to a higher Profound Domain to get sufficient training. I have taught you everything I should; the rest is up to you. Cultivate properly for a few more years, and then return with your parents to their original home. Only there can your potential be stimulated, allowing you to Breakthrough Realms faster."

"Mm, I only realized today how powerful my father is. Do you know what Realm he is in?" Jiang Ye's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Eighth stage of the Profound Dharma Realm. Your father hides his strength very well. In the Middle Profound Domain, few people can be his opponent." Yan Kui replied.

"Then what Realm is my mother in?"

"Sixth stage of the Profound Dharma Realm. Both your parents are top-tier Geniuses, so how did they give birth to such a simpleton like you?" Yan Kui couldn't help but tease.

"They don't tell me anything, so what can I do? The farthest I've ever been is just a small town. They don't let me go anywhere else." Jiang Ye pouted, looking wronged.

"Hmph! How old are you? And you're already thinking of soaring to the heavens? They are worried that people from the Upper Profound Domain will discover you, so they have kept you hidden here." Yan Kui snorted lightly.

"Are people from the Upper Profound Domain very powerful?" Jiang Ye blinked, asking curiously.

"For people like you, yes, they are very strong. If they detect your Pure Yang Body, they certainly won't let you live." Yan Kui's expression became very serious.

"Why? I haven't provoked them!" Jiang Ye was slightly angry, his brows furrowed.

Yan Kui laughed loudly: "Hahaha! You silly boy! If you reach the Divine Profound Realm someday, won't you compete with them for territory?"

"Ah? If I truly reach that level, I really would want to acquire some things. Otherwise, what's the point of becoming so powerful?" Jiang Ye scratched his head, saying thoughtfully.

"So how could they possibly let you live until then?"

Jiang Ye picked up the Wine Gourd, took a big gulp, and sighed: "Sigh! I still have to work hard to make myself stronger. Otherwise, I'll be stuck hiding here my whole life, unable to go anywhere, and unable to rescue you."

"Do you truly want to save me?" Yan Kui stared intently at Jiang Ye.

"That goes without saying! I can't just watch you vanish here, can I? We've known each other for a long time, and you even taught me such a powerful Cultivation Technique. Tonight, I used the World-Defying God Slaying Art and destroyed that Family in one move." Jiang Ye said without hesitation, his face full of determination.

"Hmm?" Yan Kui was startled. "You said you used the World-Defying God Slaying Art?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you just comprehend it the day before yesterday?"

"That's right! I can already mobilize that power. It's just not strong enough yet. After Cultivating for a bit longer, it will definitely become more powerful."

Yan Kui laughed contentedly: "Hehehe! Good kid! You just started and already know how to use it. You will definitely be able to Cultivate it to the Ninth Stage in the future."
