Yun Fan watched Uncle Hai leave before returning to his room. He sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to cultivate and enhance his abilities. He took out a Demon Beast Inner Pill from his storage bag and placed it beside him.
With a casual gesture, he picked up five Demon Beast Inner Pills. The Mysterious Jade Pendant within him erupted with a powerful suction, drawing all the Spiritual Energy from the inner pills until they turned into a pile of useless debris that scattered away.
The pure and abundant Spiritual Energy surged forth from the jade pendant, instantly filling his Dantian. Yun Fan closed his heart tightly and began to operate the Thunderous Heart Sutra, starting to refine this overwhelming Spiritual Energy, gradually increasing his cultivation level.
One by one, the Demon Beast Inner Pills were absorbed, transforming into pure Spiritual Energy that filled his Dantian, slowly being refined. His cultivation continued to rise, reaching the peak of the True Realm Fourth Layer as he pushed against this barrier, a rumbling sound echoing within him.
Suddenly, with a crack, he broke through to the Fifth Layer of Zhenjing, and an explosive aura emanated from him, stronger than before. Yun Fan did not pause in his cultivation; instead, he continued to refine the vigorous Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, steadily enhancing his abilities.
In the Kua Family Mansion's main hall, Kua Guo Dan sat at the head of the table, frowning deeply with an unpleasant expression. It had been several months without any news from the Shadow Tower; he had no idea whether the assassin had succeeded in killing Yun Fan.
This made him extremely anxious. After all, the pain of losing a son still lingered within him; he needed to kill Yun Fan and bring back his head to honor his son’s memory in order to quell his resentment.
Beside him, Elder Two pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "Patriarch, do not worry. The Shadow Tower has a well-established reputation for reliability; their assassination success rate is extremely high and they rarely miss."
"Since they have taken on this mission, the Shadow Tower will certainly handle it properly. Clearly, Yun Fan has been staying at Yun Family Mansion, preventing the assassin from finding an opportunity to strike. But he will eventually come out; we just need to wait a little longer for results."
After hearing this, Kua Guo Dan nodded, temporarily suppressing his grief over his lost son. After all, they had already waited several months; what was a little more time?
Half a month later, in a room within Yun Family Mansion, Yun Fan sat cross-legged on the bed again, his aura growing increasingly profound. After a moment of sustained concentration, he regained his calmness.
Yun Fan furrowed his brows, realizing he had encountered some bottlenecks. His cultivation had stagnated at the Peak of True Realm Level Five, just one step away from breaking through to the Sixth Layer of True Realm.
He had advanced too quickly in the past two months, making consecutive breakthroughs across several realms, and now he needed to take some time to consolidate his progress.
Looking at the Demon Beast Inner Pill beside him, he noted that he had consumed more than half of it. Indeed, as one's cultivation advanced, the amount of Spiritual Energy required became increasingly vast, even doubling at times. He feared that by the Late Stage of True Realm, the demand for Spiritual Energy would be even more terrifying.
However, Yun Fan was not surprised. Although the Spiritual Energy needed for breakthroughs was several times greater than that of ordinary people, the spiritual power in his Dantian was not inferior to that of someone at True Realm Level Eight; in fact, it might even be stronger. This gave him confidence to fight above his level.
Now that he had reached the Peak of True Realm Level Five, he wasn't in a rush. After cultivating for so long, it was time to relax and allow himself to settle down. He believed that with a calm mind, breaking through this layer would come naturally.
Yun Fan pushed open the door and looked up at the bright sky. The sunlight poured down, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. Just then, a clear voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
"Xiao Fan!"
