Atop Chongyun Peak, Chiyun Mountain World.
A young man in black sat leaning against a stone, drinking wine and gazing over the vast undulating mountains. He loved this place—it was high enough to overlook countless peaks. Dongbo Xueying had always cherished this feeling of overlooking an expansive world since childhood, living in Xueying Domain. And here at Chongyun Peak, it was even higher, and quiet. Here, his spear practice would not be disturbed!
Watching the moon at night from Chongyun Peak, its glow bathing the entire Chiyun Mountain World.
During the day, the mountain mists were also beautiful to behold—truly breathtaking.
As a child, Dongbo Xueying rarely drank.
But as he grew older, he drank more often. Each time he pondered spear techniques or comprehended the natural world and made a breakthrough, filled with joy yet with no one to share it with, he would drink heartily.
The path of transcendent cultivation was inherently lonely!
Of course, while cultivation might be lonely, emotions need not be.
“Never thought my father would be the strongest among our family in cultivation!” Dongbo Xueying shook his head and smiled. After completing ten life-and-death missions, he often returned home, and usually kept in touch through a communication ring. “My mother and younger brother, as I expected, remain stuck at the Silver Moon Mage level. Uncle Tong, after drinking the Oceanic Realm Stone Spirit Liquid for over six years, finally advanced to Star-Level. But even Uncle Zong’s cultivation speed couldn’t keep up with my father.”
Among his own family members,
If he had to choose who would become a Named-Level cultivator first, Dongbo Xueying would have chosen Uncle Zong.
But the reality was… not long ago, his father Dongbo Lie had actually ascended to Named-Level, becoming the sole Named-Level powerhouse in the Dongbo Clan.
“When I rescued my father, he was still a Celestial Knight,” Dongbo Xueying sighed.
His own cultivation talent was high, inherited from his parents’ strengths. Judging from this, his father likely had great talent as well.
Thinking carefully,
As a youth, his father had no opportunity to learn martial energy techniques. He only started learning them after joining the army as an adult, and initially learned a low-tier martial energy method even worse than his own! Advanced age, late start, inferior martial energy method—he still became a Celestial Knight! Uncle Zong, a royal serpent race clansman, had a superior cultivation method, started young, and was also a Celestial Knight. Only due to his special nature as a Six-Armed Serpent Demon was his power slightly stronger than Dongbo Lie’s.
From this perspective, his father must have had great talent.
Later, he was captured for twenty years, interrupting his cultivation. After Dongbo Xueying rescued his parents, the Oceanic Realm Stone Spirit Liquid was abundantly supplied, and all other conditions and martial energy methods were the finest in the mundane world. For a transcendent, providing the best conditions for family was effortless. Thus, his father’s rapid progress in cultivation was quite normal.
“Among my father, mother, Uncle Zong, and Uncle Tong, perhaps my father had the highest talent all along, just lacked opportunity,” Dongbo Xueying mused with a smile, then rose immediately.
He extended his hand, and the Black Dragon Spear appeared.
Boom!
The spear immediately began to be wielded.
“Rumble~~~” Dongbo Xueying’s spearplay erupted—whether a furious downward slash, a horizontal sweep, or a direct thrust, the spear emitted tremendous sound, like surging thunder overwhelming everything! The spear even had water and fire entwined around it, with faint streams of wind intimately entwined with the water and fire, significantly enhancing the spear’s might.
“This is the spearplay I want!”
“This spearplay is far superior to the earlier water-and-fire techniques alone,” Dongbo Xueying was delighted.
Since successfully combining water and fire techniques perfectly last year, the two had become a unified whole. His former move “Water-Fire DragonDragon Kill” was first water, then seamlessly transitioned into fire. In reality, it was a process of combination and transformation—only a preliminary fusion. But last year, the two techniques truly fused entirely!
The rotation of water made the fire’s eruption more intense, and the fire’s intensity strengthened the water’s rotation. Each enhanced the other, creating a qualitative transformation. Even a simple strike or slash had immense power.
After perfectly fusing water and fire, Dongbo Xueying gradually discovered a flaw.
“Too monotonous.”
“Water and fire, two forces too simple. Lacking in vitality, variation, and depth. Also, the transitions between each spear move were still too rigid!” Dongbo Xueying realized his spearplay had issues. For example, the move ” DragonDragon Kill” was ferocious and mighty! Then, using water techniques, it would immediately transition to the next move. It seemed smooth, but Dongbo Xueying felt it was too abrupt!
Half a year ago, Dongbo Xueying had comprehended the first level of Wind’s Mystery!
Wind’s Mystery had the vitality and variation he desired. If he could fully integrate Wind’s Mystery into “Water-Fire Techniques,” his spearplay’s power would greatly increase!
“Now, my spearplay is truly unpredictable and boundlessly powerful!” Dongbo Xueying was immensely pleased and delighted.
Boom.
The spear viciously shot forward, roaring as it struck three times in succession, each strike more powerful than the last! Why? Because the power of the first strike was guided by Dongbo Xueying into the second, and then into the third, making each strike stronger than the last. Of course, currently, he could only achieve three consecutive strikes increasing in power.
“Rumble~~~” Dongbo Xueying’s spearplay was unpredictable, slashing, sweeping, whipping, bursting, lifting… the transitions between techniques were extremely fast, and the power immense. Because the power of other techniques was channeled into the next, amplifying each subsequent strike.
“My original spearplay was too crude. My use of power lacked fluidity and naturalness,” Dongbo Xueying smiled. “But now it’s much better.”
Wind aids fire, making the fire fiercer.
Wind aids water, making the water more surging.
And the power of water and fire further strengthens the wind.
The three mutually enhance each other, creating unimaginable might.
Not long ago, Dongbo Xueying successfully integrated Wind’s Mystery into his techniques, causing a qualitative leap in his spearplay compared to a year ago! Although Master Gongyu had told him not to be distracted, Dongbo Xueying felt that only this way could his spearplay become more perfect. Ever since childhood, he had pursued perfection in spear techniques.
“Dongbo Xueying, hurry to Zhuwu Mountain. Master Sikong will arrive shortly,” Dongbo Xueying immediately received a message through his communication ring from Master Gongyu.
“Master Sikong?” Dongbo Xueying dared not delay, and was also pleased. “I can also ask Master Sikong to critique my spearplay.”
Master Sikong came only once every year or so; such an opportunity was rare.
Swoosh!
Dongbo Xueying immediately transformed into a streak of light, speeding toward Zhuwu Mountain. Meanwhile, the other eight transcendent beings also received Master Gongyu’s message. Some were still in Xiadu City and hurriedly rushed over.
…
Moments later.
On a large open space halfway up Zhuwu Mountain, Dongbo Xueying and the other eight transcendent beings descended one after another as streaks of light. Puyang Bo arrived last.
“Phew, you scared me. I was just with a beauty and had to break away to come here,” Puyang Bo looked relieved. “Luckily, I wasn’t late.”
Yu Feng said, “What beauty? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“A transcendent female knight, very fierce, I can’t even beat her,” Puyang Bo chuckled. “I could only escape using teleportation. But I think she has a thing for me.”
“You must always pursue transcendent women for a wife?” Dongbo Xueying teased. “How many is this now?”
Among this group of transcendent beings, only Puyang Bo constantly claimed to be seeking a wife, always pursuing beautiful female transcendent cultivators, unfortunately, always failing!
“Little Dongbo, can’t you stop bringing up my sore spots?” Puyang Bo glared.
He was the jester of the group; in terms of strength, he was the weakest among the nine.
“Master Sikong has arrived.”
Dongbo Xueying and the other eight immediately quieted down, looking up at the distant figures flying side by side—Master Sikong and Master Gongyu.
