The Ancient Realm Goddess
Nearby Danger
After settling the matter regarding Taotie's food, Qing Yue'er decided to cultivate. He should be able to pierce through the sky realm within a few days. It seemed like lately he had already been so loosened that he was still unable to breakthrough.
The pool became quiet. Taotie and Ying Jun were arguing outside the cave. When Qing Yue'er was cultivating, the spiritual energy in the air and water was entangled into one. Streams of spiritual energy formed waves that revolved around his body.
His meridians worked hard to absorb spiritual energy and sent him into dantian. The continuous flow of energy made his dantian turbulent quickly.
Even so, breaking through would not be that easy. Qing Yue'er should be able to break down the barrier that only she could feel.

Jiang Clan, Xirei kingdom.
A middle-aged man was looking at the beautiful girl who was lying stiff on the bed. Even though his eyes were open, the girl could not say anything. Not only was he unable to speak, he was also unable to move. His body has been paralyzed since the incident three months ago.
Their clan was already looking for various ways to treat it, from inviting low-class healers all the way from the upper classes. But still they could not cure his daughter's paralysis.
They even said if the paralysis was so unreasonable. Not without reason, it was because they were unable to find where the fault lay in Jiang Yini's body.
The middle-aged man who was none other than Jiang Shu, Jiang Yini's father approached his daughter. "Xiao Yi, I've already sent two men to avenge you. But one of them died at the hands of a mysterious man. It was likely that the mysterious man had a deep relationship with that brat Qing Yu who had made you like this."
"Since then I haven't done anything. But ...." He glanced at the middle-aged man who had just walked into Jiang Yini's room.
"But we'll work together. I will also avenge the grievances of my son Yuan'er" said the middle-aged man who had just entered.
He was Feng Ming, the head of the Feng clan who had the same standing as Jiang Shu. They were both old friends of the same generation. Even Feng Ming had originally planned an arranged marriage between Jiang Yini and Feng Yuan. It was just that due to the condition of the girl being crippled, Feng Ming undoed his intentions.
Hearing their cooperation, Jiang Yini's two eyes immediately sparkled. She was a girl who would not easily forget complaints just like that. Whether it was grudge or gratitude, he would return it to others.
"For the mysterious man, I've been investigating him. No one else has ever seen it. It was most likely that he was not in the academy," Jiang Shu assured.
Not long ago he still continued investigating Qing Yu. He even heard about the punishment that the boy was undergoing. Just what was the cause, he still did not know. Some say that if the child was punished for injuring the ancestor, some say because he betrayed the elders.
All of that was only news he had gotten from the academy's disciples. But indeed for a few days under his supervision, Qing Yu never came out of the dormitory. There were even some academy parties guarding the door of his room.
Feng Ming had a sinister grin on his lips. Often he felt helpless when Feng Yuan sent letters about his complaints against Qing Yu. Now he finally had a partner to share the same goal with. They will soon plan a retaliation to that little bastard.
While they were in discussion, suddenly a servant came to interrupt their conversation. The waiter entered followed by a mysterious stranger wearing a gray robe and partially covered his face.
"I won't make small talk. I found out about your enmity with the academy students. I'll give you access to that retribution." The voice of the robed man sounded heavy.
Feng Ming and Jiang Shu glanced at each other. They had no idea where the mysterious man had come from and how he could find out about his enmity with the academy's students. But if that person can indeed help, it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
"If you may know, who is this Master?" jiang Shu asked in a polite tone. Since the mysterious man dared to come face to face directly with him, it meant that he had strength that made him fearless of the Jiang clan.
"You don't need to understand my identity. But you have to make sure to make the boy suffer." After which he waved his sleeve and a piece of paper immediately slid towards Jing Shu.
With a single jolt Jiang Shu instantly took the paper and read it along with Feng Ming. Moments later they looked at each other before a slanted smile appeared on each other's lips.
"Okay, we agree."
The mysterious man chuckled and turned away without saying anything more.

It had been a few days since Qing Yue'er had cultivated. The surrounding air was already churning following the flow of spiritual energy that was absorbed into his meridians.
This time he did not use any treasures so he needed a long time to breakthrough. Even the effectiveness of Yin Yang water decreases further if the cultivation level gets higher.
This really made it difficult for him considering how greedy his dantian was. But he is not desperate. As long as he tried for sure he would be able to break through without using any other treasures.
Boomm boom boom!!
The sound of explosions rang out in his ears. Both of Qing Yue'er's eyes opened with a sharp glint. His aura felt much stronger when compared to before.
He breathed out with satisfaction. Finally after several days of trying to break down the barrier, now he had successfully entered the level 1 sky realm!
