266: The strength increases dramatically, Xiang Ping's road

Several breaths later.

Your aura had already reached its critical point.

If you were to seclude yourself for a Breakthrough at this moment, you would successfully Breakthrough to the Dao Embryo Realm.

But it was at this time that Taiyi Heaven's Will interrupted your Cultivation.

"Enough. If you continue to Breakthrough, your Cultivation will become unstable, leaving behind inestimable troubles."

Your heart stirred, and you naturally stopped Cultivating, beginning to observe the Taiyi Heaven's Will before you.

This was your first time observing him up close.

His appearance was neither human nor non-human, even somewhat resembling those beings from the Heavens.

However, the aura emanating from him was completely different from those beings from the Heavens.

The Taiyi Heaven's Will's phantom said nothing when he saw your questioning gaze.

He simply refilled the blood pool before him halfway again, then slowly vanished from his spot.

"Hmm?"

"What is Taiyi Heaven's Will trying to do?"

You frowned slightly but didn't overthink it.

After all, in this blood pool, which he had refilled, you didn't sense any warning from your Crisis Awareness.

This indicated that, for now, even if he harbored ill intentions, he had no immediate plan to kill you.

In the following days, you continued to Cultivate diligently in this cave.

Time quickly reached the thirty-eighth millennium.

Through years of accumulation, you had refined your Cultivation to be exceptionally profound.

Not only did you successfully Breakthrough to the Dao Embryo Realm, but relying on the energy left by Taiyi Heaven's Will, you advanced rapidly, Cultivating directly to the third layer of the Dao Embryo Realm.

At this point, you could be said to be invincible in the Taiyi Realm.

Aside from Great Azure, who would recover from his injuries in the future, no one could pose a threat to you.

But you still didn't relax.

Because you clearly knew that there were still many threats you would face.

The beings from the Heavens, and the Taiyi Heaven's Will of the Taiyi Realm.

They were like two invisible sharp blades, hanging over your head.

And between the two, the Taiyi Heaven's Will of the Taiyi Realm was even more so.

After all, while the beings from the Heavens were powerful, they had form and substance.

When they posed a Fatal Strike to you, you could instantly use a Fatal Strike to obliterate them.

The Taiyi Heaven's Will, however, was the exact opposite.

Every time he acted, it was through a Clone, and even now, you didn't know where his true body was hiding.

The fortieth millennium.

You successfully condensed the fourth Fatal Strike.

And over these years, the Tian Yuan Trading Company's sphere of influence grew larger and larger.

As of today, you had spread the company's business to all regions of both Realms.

And that wasn't all.

During this period, you could clearly feel that your Cultivation speed had even increased compared to when you were in the Dao Palace Realm.

You must know that you were now in the Dao Embryo Realm.

Among Cultivators at this Realm, it was perfectly normal for it to take tens of thousands of years to Breakthrough a single layer, nothing strange about it.

Yet, your Cultivation speed was three times faster than when you were in the Dao Palace Realm.

"What exactly is going on here..."

"Does Taiyi Heaven's Will want to train me to be a 'savior' like Xiang Ping?"

"Or does he want to raise me up, then have Xiang Ping refine me...?"

You frowned deeply, a hint of gloom rising in your heart.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the hundredth millennium arrived.

By this time, your Cultivation had reached the seventh layer of the Dao Embryo Realm.

And it was in this year that Xiang Ping was born.

Because you had your subordinate Cultivators constantly monitor the Tianji Immortal Court, this news reached your ears immediately.

You immediately went to the Tianji Immortal Court and saw Xiang Ping, still in his swaddling clothes.

You quietly sensed everything around you.

After a moment of hesitation, you took out a Fatal Strike.

In an instant, terrifying power of heaven and earth pressed down on you.

They were like Xiang Ping's most loyal guards, silently protecting Xiang Ping by his side.

Seeing this scene, you understood everything.

The Taiyi Heaven's Will was still cultivating Xiang Ping; his previous actions of helping you were probably just to pave the way for him.

In the time that followed, you remained hidden in the Tianji Immortal Court, beginning to observe Xiang Ping.

His talent was not outstanding.

He had no special Physique, and his Aptitude was extremely low.

For such a prince, the Tianji Immortal Court naturally wouldn't expend too much effort on him.

After Xiang Ping came of age, Emperor Tianji gave him a fief and sent him away.

You followed him all the way.

You discovered that Xiang Ping was not content with living a mediocre life.

Even if his Cultivation talent was low, he still wanted to live a life of spirited revenge and excitement.

With this mindset, Xiang Ping roamed about, acting heroically.

Although his Realm was very low, he could still provide some help to others.

This kind of life continued for a long time.

Until Xiang Ping, after being injured while acting heroically, arrived at a place called Dao Ling Village.

"Dao Ling Village is here? Strange..."

You, observing in secret, frowned slightly.

Although Dao Ling Village had appeared in the previous simulation, you hadn't paid much attention to it.

Because, in your opinion, although the Cultivators there were quite strong, there was still a huge gap compared to your current self.

But now... it was different.

Because your Divine Sense was far, far stronger than Xiang Ping's, and while traveling with him, you had already explored the entire Linyuan Region.

And in your Divine Sense scan, Dao Ling Village had definitely not appeared.

Even when you had scanned the surroundings with your Divine Sense not long ago, you hadn't found any trace of it.

It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.

"It seems this is another one of Taiyi Heaven's Will's schemes."

Your heart stirred, and you immediately concealed your aura, appearing in Dao Ling Village.

But just as you were looking around, you sensed a familiar aura coming from not far away.

"Why is Fu Cang here too?!"

You were slightly startled.

Fu Cang's aura at this moment was fluctuating between strong and weak, clearly indicating that he was undergoing something.

According to your deductions based on the timeline.

This should be the time when he was recovering his Cultivation and advancing further.

With a feeling of doubt, you stepped into the house located in the center of Dao Ling Village.

But the scene inside instantly left you stunned.

Various body fragments were scattered across the floor.

And Fu Cang was, surprisingly, sitting in the house, carefully selecting them.

On the other side, as you pushed open the door, he revealed a meaningful smile.

"You've arrived."
