2: Finally broke through, but have to run!

Su Yang never considered himself a righteous gentleman.

In this dangerous world, he also believed he shouldn't brand himself as a righteous gentleman; survival was paramount!

Now that he was on the verge of death, how could he care about cherishing and protecting women?

Any problems could be discussed later!

The moment he used Junior Sister Yun Yao, Su Yang immediately understood what "Please prepare a female Cultivator" meant.

He needed a woman to overcome hardness with softness, to extinguish fire with water.

The Innate Kidney Qi gathered in his body was transmitted and released outwards through his Spiritual Root, and the scorching heat within him immediately decreased.

He felt much more comfortable.

The Innate Kidney Qi, which had been wildly rampaging through his body like an untamed beast, now slowly became docile.

After resolving the risk of his body exploding from the Innate Kidney Qi, Su Yang immediately began to attempt a Breakthrough.

He circulated this Innate Kidney Qi within his body.

He was surprised to find that if this Innate Kidney Qi only circulated within his own body, the heat would not diminish, but if he first controlled this Innate Kidney Qi to circulate once within Junior Sister Yun Yao's body and then return, the temperature would rapidly drop, and then transform into True Qi that he could control.

Since that was the case... Su Yang, holding the powerless Wen Yunyao, continued!

From noon until evening, he did not dare to separate for a moment.

Su Yang controlled the scorching Innate Kidney Qi to circulate within both their bodies, the heat within him gradually decreased, and the vast Innate Kidney Qi slowly transformed into True Qi that he could fully control, circulating within his body.

When the last wisp of scorching Innate Kidney Qi was tamed, he finally entered the Foundation Establishment Stage from the Thirteenth Level of Qi Refining!

After his Realm improved, the power within his body had a qualitative difference from before!

What surprised him even more was that after three years of dormancy, the power within his body was so vast and solid that it was unlike the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase he often saw in the Sect; he clearly felt much stronger than an ordinary Cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, and by a lot!

As his Realm improved, a term appeared in his mind—[Innate Water Spirit Kidney].

"Innate Water Spirit Kidney?"

This was the first time he had heard this term.

He didn't quite understand what it meant.

But it didn't matter; his strength had officially achieved a Breakthrough, and he would have plenty of time to study it slowly in the future.

The most crucial thing right now was Junior Sister Yun Yao, who was almost fainting in his arms.

"Su Yang, you bastard... are you done using me...? Aren't you going to let me up!!!"

As soon as Su Yang opened his eyes, Wen Yunyao immediately spoke, her shame and anger evident.

She didn't know what happened, but the moment he used her, she completely lost the ability to resist, so she was used for an entire afternoon.

It was noon when she met him, and now the sky was dark.

Wen Yunyao felt like crying from grievance.

She struggled to get up.

"Wait a moment, Junior Sister... don't move..."

"Ah—Su Yang, you bastard!!! I'm definitely going to have my father kill you!!!"

Wen Yunyao, who had thought it was over, never expected that getting up would actually result in an attack from his spiritual fluid.

Her shame and anger intensified.

Not wanting to stay there for another moment, she flew down the mountain.

The evening wind was stronger, and behind her, specks of spiritual fluid fell into the valley like white pearls in the wind.

Su Yang watched her flying figure and rubbed his temples vigorously.

"I'm afraid I can't stay in Profound Heaven Dao Sect anymore."

"I need to find a way to escape!"

If Wen Yunyao were just an ordinary Sect Cultivator, today's matter would be easy to discuss. Even if he had to take responsibility, it wouldn't be impossible. No matter how sharp her tongue was, she was still a maiden, and as a man, if he did it, he had to admit it.

But Wen Yunyao was not an ordinary Sect Cultivator; she was the beloved daughter of Wen Yuheng, the Sect Master of Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

This was going to be deadly.

A proud daughter of Heaven like her was destined to follow the path of Sect marriage alliances in the future, and he heard that Wen Yunyao had indeed already been betrothed to the next successor of another Sect.

Now that he had taken this girl's maidenhood, it would be strange if the Sect Master didn't grind him to dust.

Even if it was out of necessity, what then? It would be strange if the Sect Master listened to explanations.

"Before the Sect Master kills me, run quickly!"

Su Yang would not be so foolish as to think that his strength, having just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, could contend with the Soul Transformation Stage Sect Master. Even if he had unlocked the Innate Kidney Body now and was stronger than Cultivators of the same level, he was still no match for a Soul Transformation Stage opponent.

A wise man knows when to retreat.

When it's time to flee, flee.

When it's time to lie low, lie low.

Su Yang immediately flew down the mountain, preparing to return to his dwelling to pack up his Magical Artifacts and other items before escaping.

The Myriad Spirit Continent was not a peaceful and benevolent place; a Cultivator without Magical Artifacts to protect him might be annihilated by Yao Beasts before even escaping the Sect's vast mountains.

Protective Magical Artifacts were absolutely essential!

Even if the Magical Artifacts he currently possessed were of average quality, having multiple Magical Artifacts in hand was always an extra means of self-preservation.

"Senior Brother Su is back."

As soon as Su Yang landed, he heard someone greet him in the courtyard.

Su Yang nodded without speaking, walking directly towards his dwelling.

Although he had been considered the Sect's laughingstock for being a laggard all these years, and countless people laughed at him behind his back, these Junior Brothers would never dare to mock him to his face. Those who dared to mock him to his face had long been beaten into submission by him.

After realizing that his cultivation had stagnated, Su Yang focused on cultivating combat techniques. At the same level of strength, his combat techniques had been cultivated for three years longer than these Junior Brothers, so no one was his match in a fight.

Of course, it wasn't absolute.

There were always some people who, relying on their background, would occasionally jump around in front of him with impunity.

For example, a young man in splendid robes, surrounded by a group of people, confidently blocked Su Yang's path.

"Senior Brother Su, why didn't I see you at today's Foundation Establishment Grand Ceremony?"

"It shouldn't be because you're afraid of losing face, right?"

"Senior Brother Su isn't attending for the first time, and it's nothing even if you haven't had a Breakthrough. Keep up the good work next year!"

"If not, then the year after next, the year after that! If still not, then ten, twenty, thirty years! We all believe Senior Brother Su will have a Breakthrough one day, don't be discouraged!"

Jiang Muchen looked at Su Yang with a smiling face, even lightly patting Su Yang's shoulder.

He used to be a little wary of his combat ability, but now, he had successfully had a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the people accompanying him were also in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Why would he be afraid of a laggard at the Peak of Qi Refining?

A difference of one Realm meant overwhelming strength!

"Get out of the way!"

"I'm not in the mood to play with you today!"

Su Yang gave him a cold look directly, not hiding anything, and unleashed his full Aura. The even more powerful True Qi forced several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators with poorer Aptitude to retreat two steps, all of them surprised.

"You... you actually had a Breakthrough???"

Jiang Muchen looked at Su Yang in disbelief, having thought this laggard would never have a Breakthrough. He never expected him to have a Breakthrough on the same day as them.

From his Aura, his strength after the Breakthrough was even stronger than theirs!

This made Jiang Muchen, who was the first to complete a Breakthrough on the Dao field today and broke the Sect's fastest Breakthrough record in nearly twenty years, quite displeased.

He, a laggard who hadn't had a Breakthrough for three consecutive years, was actually stronger than him after his Breakthrough?

Jiang Muchen felt quite a blow, and his gaze towards Su Yang filled with even more blatant provocation...
