Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 224 - 223: Joint Breakthrough

Chapter 224: Chapter 223: Joint Breakthrough

There are only three days left until Lan Xiyue’s wedding day.

In these few days, the Lan Family has become even busier.

Not only do they have to prepare for the wedding, but they also need to set up barriers to prevent any unexpected incidents, since after all, Lin Hao once said that he would come to the Lan Family.

Although no one in the Lan Family believes he will come, it is still better to be safe than sorry.

On this day.

The Song Family is similarly bustling with activity.

The entire Song family, comprising more than three hundred people, has gathered once again, and Song Guolong has fully taken over the position of Family Head of the Song Family.

Since he has taken over as Family Head, many have noticed that, aside from not being a Cultivator, his management skills are as Song Qinghong claimed, even better than Song Manjiang’s.

He is cautious in his actions and meticulous in his planning, applying both kindness and severity, winning over a large part of the Song Family’s hearts loyally in just a few short days.

Such a swift change was almost beyond everyone’s expectations.

Today, these more than three hundred people were not gathered in the ancestral hall but were assembled in the plaza outside the hall.

More than three hundred pairs of eyes were all fixed on the tightly closed doors of the Song Family ancestral hall.

From inside the hall, occasional ripples of Primordial Qi fluctuations would emerge, layer upon layer pushing forward, extraordinarily mystical.

The Song Family Patriarch and Song Taishan, both are to breakthrough today!

The former, after a month’s time, is about to enter the Refining God Realm!

And the latter, is also to become a master of the Returning to Truth Realm!

By the looks of it, the breakthrough is going to happen today.

Hence, the majority of the Song Family is here, they want to witness this miracle, a double breakthrough in one family, both of a qualitative leap – once spread, it will definitely be a wonderful story.

The sun rises in the morning, and sets in the evening.

As night falls, there is still no sign of the breakthrough inside the ancestral hall.

Just as everyone is about to lose patience.

Suddenly, a peculiar sound emanates from the hall, a sound so faint it is barely audible, but it is heard by everyone.

Because everyone is paying close attention to any movement inside the hall.

"Plop!"

A gentle noise, as if a stone has been dropped into a well.

Following that, a strong wave of force surges from within the hall, like a stone stirring up a huge wave, the water within the whole well starts to spin and churn.

The powerful fluctuation of Primordial Qi jolts everyone.

Breakthrough!

This is a sign of a breakthrough!

Just that, it is unknown whether it is the Song Family Patriarch or Song Taishan.

Inside the ancestral hall.

Song Taishan and Song Qinghong, almost at the same instant, open their eyes.

Feeling the fluctuations between each other, joy is unmistakable in their eyes.

They have almost simultaneously achieved a breakthrough!

From this day forth, the Song Family has gained a new master of the Refining God Realm!

Song Taishan, has also stepped into the Returning to Truth Realm!

The two get up and walk out together.

The moment the doors of the ancestral hall open.

Outside, the eyes of more than three hundred people are all converged upon them.

Feeling the aura that they have not yet fully retracted, everyone is overjoyed.

"Congratulations to the Patriarch!"

"Congratulations to Great-grandfather!"

```

"Congratulations to the great ancestor!"

```

Cheers and excited voices arose from the crowd of the Song Family.

The breakthroughs of the two brought immense joy to the Song Family; from now on, the Song Family’s position in Jiangbei would be even more secure and steadfast.

At the very least, the prosperity of the Song Family will continue for another hundred years without any issues!

Everyone in the Song Family understood that their breakthroughs were all thanks to one person, a youth.

Lin Hao!

In fact, after the Cultivation Technique modified by Lin Hao, not only had Song Taishan and Song Qinghong made breakthroughs, but many who cultivated also experienced various degrees of breakthroughs!

In just one month, the overall strength of the Song Family had soared dramatically, achieving a qualitative leap.

During this month, they finally understood Song Qinghong’s painstaking efforts, realizing that his vision was beyond their comparison.

Whether it was for Lin Hao or for Song Qinghong, the people of the Song Family grew increasingly grateful, truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

The Song Family wasn’t the most impressive one.

Mingyang Sect.

The Demon Skills practiced by Huai Shian were intensely powerful. The residence where he cultivated was constantly enveloped by gloomy yin energy and shrouded in black clouds all day, which was extremely terrifying.

Within the Mingyang Sect, where the roars of beasts were usually heard at midnight, during this month, those beasts seemed to have died, as the nights became eerily silent, without a hint of noise.

On the same day.

All the Demonic Qi converged, as if absorbed by something, gathering towards the center of the villa, flowing into Huai Shian’s body through every limb and bone.

After the last wisp of black gas disappeared, Huai Shian abruptly opened his eyes.

His eyes had turned pitch-black; one could not see the pupils nor the whites of his eyes. At a glance, they seemed endlessly dark, as if peering into a corner of the universe devoid of any light.

After a long while, this state slowly dissipated, and his eyes returned to normal.

"The Demon Planting Skill, so strong..."

Since ancient times, any Evil Skills could drastically enhance one’s strength. The level of the Demon Planting Skill, even in the Eternal Life Realm, was a rarity.

Huai Shian, within one month, had advanced directly from a Primordial Qi Master to the peak of the Returning to Truth Realm...

Now, he even had the confidence to fight against a Refining God Realm practitioner.

This frightening pace of advancement, if spread, would scare countless people senseless.

What was more terrifying was that practicing Evil Skills often required one to sacrifice something. For example, Lan Xiyue practiced the Bewitching Technique and had to sacrifice her emotions.

This kind of sacrifice didn’t mean pouring emotions into others but a true giving up; the longer and deeper one cultivated, the colder they would become, devoid of romantic love.

Even if she could win countless people’s admiration, she would not, and could not, fall in love with anyone.

This sacrifice is used to unleash potential to gain greater strength; that is the essence of Evil Skills.

However, Huai Shian only needed to give up his freedom!

As long as he remained loyal to Lin Hao for life, forever his servant, then his strength would steadily progress!

"I wonder how the master is doing; it’s been a month since I’ve seen him..." Huai Shian stood up; his aged body now felt more powerful than before. The life force that was previously exhausted was gradually pulsing again, and his lifespan, too, had been extended as a result of this breakthrough.

Hai Dragon Banquet Villa.

Lin Hao was still in seclusion.

Without any movement nor response.

Surrounding him, every corner of the empty land was filled with Primordial Stones of various sizes.

Lin Hao sat in the center, like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the Primordial Qi within them. Streams of Primordial Qi entered his body, appearing inexhaustible, continuously flowing in.

Each time a Primordial Stone was completely absorbed, another would appear in the Void Ring to replace it.

A month ago, it was like this, and today, it was still the same.

Two days later, on the eve of Lan Xiyue’s wedding day.

Finally, a strange fluctuation appeared on Lin Hao’s body.

With the emergence of this fluctuation, it was as if the gates holding back a flood had opened, and suddenly, golden Primordial Qi burst forth from his body.

His power, at this moment, began to grow rapidly.
