32: Six months later

"Holy crap! I thought Senior Brother was paying before, but it turns out we can eat for free?"

Jiang Ye said, "Get lost! You're the free-loader. I put in a lot of effort tonight."

"Didn't I put in effort too? I took down a seventh-stage Profound Extreme Realm expert. Hurry up, hurry up! Let's eat our fill; it's free anyway."

In the distance,

Chu Tianyang and Chen Pan watched the three of them, feeling very pleased.

"Old Chen, now that those people have been eliminated, you don't need to hide your strength anymore. You should take over the position of Grand Elder."

"Mhm! These kids will be incredible in the future. I didn't expect them to be so strong back then. It's worth not recruiting new Disciples for three years, let alone one."

Chu Tianyang nodded as well. "Yes! Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach the three of them. I'll have to trouble you to take more care of the Sect's affairs."

"Alright!"

After a major battle, the Tianyang Sect had completely purged the Disciples with Family backgrounds. Those with talent but no background saw hope. With the help of the Sect's resources, they all cultivated diligently, and everyone's Breakthrough speed was significantly faster than before.

Not long after, Chu Tianyang focused his energy on teaching Jiang Ye's group of three, passing down the complete Heavenly Sun Art to them.

Half a year later,

Inside the Tianyang Sect, on an ordinary day, Jiang Ye had actually cultivated the Heavenly Sun Art to the fifth level. This progress left Chu Tianyang astounded. Of course, this Cultivation Technique was truly a perfect fit for his Pure Yang Body.

By this time, Jiang Ye's Profound Qi Realm had also reached the ninth stage of the Earth Profound Realm, surpassing Chu Tianyang. The Tianyang Sect was now peaceful; without those Family factions causing trouble, the entire Sect was exceptionally united.

In the courtyard where Jiang Ye and the others lived,

Today was a rare day off granted by Chu Tianyang. Instead of cultivating, they were all in the courtyard eating meat and chatting. Shi Bao had somehow managed to get a few jars of wine from some Senior Brother, and the four of them were drinking slowly.

Shi Bao said, "It's great being out here. I don't have to worry about my dad finding out I'm drinking, hahaha!"

Shi Feng said, "Last time you drank at Uncle Yan's place, your dad almost beat you to death. You were squealing like a stuck pig."

Jiang Ye said, "Fatty Bao, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Even if your dad hit you with all his might, you wouldn't have screamed like that."

"If I didn't make it sound miserable, how could he have stopped?"

"Holy crap! You're not that stupid after all!"

"Who said I'm stupid? I'll beat him up!"

"Your dad said it."

"Get lost!"

Hahaha!!! The four of them laughed heartily.

Shi Feng suddenly asked, "Do you guys miss home? I kind of want to go back and visit."

Jiang Ye was also stunned for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, I want to go back too. It's been a long time since I heard my mother scold me. My little sister has probably grown up a bit; I'm afraid she won't recognize me anymore."

Shi Bao said, "Sigh! My little brother should be able to walk by now, but the Sect Master said we won't be allowed to go home until the end of the year."

"I wonder how Uncle Yan is doing? I need to get stronger quickly to rescue him." Jiang Ye looked into the distance, lost in thought.

What Jiang Ye didn't know was that after cultivating the Heavenly Sun Art, his Pure Yang Body had been Awakening faster and faster over the past half year.

Chu Tianyang couldn't say for sure where the Heavenly Sun Art came from, only that it had been passed down from a very long time ago. However, it wasn't very effective for ordinary people; it could only gather a bit of Pure Yang Qi, which slightly helped increase the speed of Breakthroughs.

Besides practicing the Heavenly Sun Art to break through Realms, Jiang Ye was also cultivating the World-Defying God Slaying Art. The combined effects of the two were quite good.

Now he was wondering if he could fuse the power gathered by the World-Defying God Slaying Art with his Pure Yang Power to accelerate his Breakthrough speed.
