Chapter 327 Grandmaster Achievement (Part Two)
He is a master himself, has always been involved in the military, and is also the adopted son of the Black General. He is qualified to be the acting general.
However, the other senior deputy generals in charge of troops were not bad either. Although their cultivation was slightly lower, they had many servants under their command, and each of them commanded three to five thousand soldiers.
Even the generals who had been sidelined came to join in the fun, each taking sides.
When General Hei was in power, he was able to control the entire city defenses of Yidu Prefecture with his prestige and the large army under his command.
General Hei was unconscious. Although he was still alive, there was no one to keep order.
His army had already split up, and he couldn't come up with a candidate that everyone could accept.
The military leaders were all capable, experienced, and had military achievements, and none of them were willing to submit to the others.
The governor had no choice but to personally take charge, assigning each of the men to be responsible for a section of the city wall.
However, anyone can see the hidden dangers within this.
It turns out that when General Hei was in charge, help came from all sides when one place was in trouble.
With no one currently in charge, the four city walls have been fighting their own battles these past few days.
After all, if you use your own strength to support others, you'll suffer losses, and if you become weaker in the future, you might even be swallowed up by others.
Who can't figure this out?
But if we do it this way, the city's defenses will inevitably break down sooner or later!
Fortunately, the Heavenly King's army's morale was dampened after the attack on the city that day, and they have been fighting weakly and listlessly for the past few days.
If it were under the same intensity as before, this city would probably have fallen long ago!
Several military leaders could see the problem, but they were all stuck and none of them were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
In order to seize control of the army, with a powerful enemy outside, they tried every means except for direct combat.
Several people even tried to gain Fu Liunian's support.
Fu Liunian was old and injured, so he didn't want to get involved in this mess and instead hid in the Martial Arts Tower to recuperate.
The governor was unsure which side to support.
Logically speaking, we should just support the strongest deputy general, Qi.
Deputy General Qi is a favorite general of General Hei. He is a senior officer with many old friends in the army. He is also a Grandmaster of Steel Dirty Martial Arts.
He had nearly five hundred retainers under his command, and also commanded a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry.
Among the various military leaders, he was the strongest in terms of both strength and numbers.
In addition, Qi's son is the son-in-law of the Wu family, one of the four great aristocratic families.
However, the four great families had an ambiguous attitude during this attack and defense of the city, and did not even send their clan members or private soldiers to the city to help in the battle.
How could the governor dare to entrust the military power of the entire city to a general who has ties to a powerful family?
As a result, the problem was delayed and became increasingly serious.
Two of the military commanders' henchmen even drew their knives and started fighting, nearly causing a small-scale conflict.
With this weight pressing on his heart, how could Yan Nanxing possibly be happy?
But now he's smiling happily.
That's the Yang residence ahead; he's been here several times and wouldn't mistake it.
A massive amount of vital energy was condensing into clouds in the air, indicating that he was about to break through to become a Grandmaster.
Once Yang Silang becomes a Grandmaster, given their friendship, he will surely be able to invite Yang Silang, with whom he shares a bond, to support him.
Moreover, Yang Silang and Fu Liunian were on good terms.
If Yang Silang supports it, then Fu Liunian will support it as well.
With two grandmasters protecting him, even the governor will completely side with him.
In this way, he could obtain the position of acting general.
With a position, one can control all the local militia, rapidly expand one's power, and then gradually solidify that position.
"Brother Yang—" Yan Nanxing prayed sincerely, "You must succeed in your breakthrough tonight!"
Inside the Yang residence.
Several people were also unable to sleep.
Xu Wangshi was already asleep in bed.
She was pregnant and slept soundly, but for some reason the room was a bit warm tonight, so she spread out the blankets to sleep more comfortably.
Wang Daniu kept pacing around the room, occasionally glancing up at the outside of the bed.
The cloud of qi and blood emitted a faint red light that enveloped him and reflected on his face.
Noon today.
Yang Silang suddenly told him that he would try to break through the barrier tonight.
His tone was as casual as if he were about to go on a long trip tonight.
Wang Daniu still remembers how he replied.
"Which realm are you aiming for?" He was completely dumbfounded, and only realized what he meant after asking the question.
Above the Grandmaster level, isn't that the Great Grandmaster realm?
Although Fourth Brother also practices Taoism, he always uses Taoist arts as an auxiliary skill and doesn't put much effort into it.
I returned to Yidu Prefecture from the capital at the end of July last year, and now it's the end of November, a year and four months have passed.
Is Fourth Brother about to break through to the next realm?
What does it matter if the old man wasted decades of his life?
Even if we consider the time it took for Yang Silang to become a grandmaster, it's been less than two years at most!
He knew that his fourth brother had amazing martial arts talent and was progressing at an extraordinary pace.
But isn't this a bit too bizarre?
The two practiced the Three-Legged Stance together at the Sanshui Society. He had only just become an Iron Bone Martial Master, while his fourth brother was already trying to break through to the Golden Marrow Grandmaster level.
Wang Daniu knew that Fourth Brother was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
He naturally felt no jealousy or shame. When he could only look up to it, all negative emotions disappeared, leaving only the glory and excitement of being by its side.
He paced around the room like an old ox, feeling as if time was flying by.
Because he was injured while defending the city, even walking around indoors now causes him excruciating pain in his internal organs, but he can't care about that now.
He felt as if a fire was burning inside him.
"Why hasn't it worked yet?"
"No, no, Fourth Brother will definitely succeed."
Inside another room.
Yang Wumei didn't sleep either.
Fourth Brother didn't tell her about his breakthrough.
She was woken up by the heat.
Because her room is next to the study, the heat and energy from her blood rushes to this room first.
Yang Wumei was, after all, a tough and strong woman. As the temperature inside the room rose, she was the first to wake up from the heat, thanks to her good health and abundant blood and energy.
She glanced out the window and saw a red cloud covering the sky.
She blinked a few times and realized what was happening; her lips trembled and her eyes were already filled with tears.
"Fourth Brother————"
She knew that her fourth brother hadn't told her and her eldest sister beforehand, probably so that they wouldn't worry.
Now, she only hopes that her fourth brother can successfully advance through the realm safely.
Even if it doesn't work, please don't let anyone get hurt.
Pah, pah, pah—you jinx! How could Fourth Brother not succeed?
Success is sure to come.
yard.
In the luxurious stable, Daqing stared at the sky, refusing to eat the night grass.
In the doghouse next to it, Hei Zi stood straight, the fur on its tail trembling, its face very serious.
Outside the Yang residence.
There are several grand mansions in the city, which are very impressive.
These mansions occupy several streets and are as grand as a royal palace, belonging to several prominent families.
The first to notice something was amiss was Wu Shuying, the eldest daughter of the Wu family.
She was a master of Taoist arts and was most sensitive to the reactions of qi and blood. She immediately opened her eyes and looked into the distance.
"Huh—someone in the city is actually trying to break through to the Grandmaster realm at this time?"
"I wonder which family's eldest son he is?"
Huang Shouren, the eldest son of the Huang family, was awakened by someone.
He had just enjoyed a drink with the special envoy of the Heavenly King Army.
The two sides have not been able to reach an agreement on the price.
The Heavenly King Army wanted the Martial Saint of the Huang family to take action and lead his private army to open the city gates, but promised only to acknowledge all of the Huang family's old power and at most allow the Huang family to swallow up some minor families.
To be honest, the Huang family wouldn't be interested in this offer.
If you're going to devour something, you should devour something at the level of the Four Great Families; only then can it be considered a great tonic.
What's a little swallowing up some minor aristocratic families?
He was asleep when he was awakened by his personal servants, who said that someone seemed to be trying to break through the Golden Marrow Pass.
Huang Shouren got up and looked at the blood cloud from afar. Because of the distance, it was only a small blood-red dot.
"Huh—that's not the territory of the major clans."
"It's not like those minor aristocratic families like the Pei family."
"Hiss—that's interesting." His eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.
The more difficult it is for the Heavenly King's army to attack the city, the greater the value of the Huang family.
He was a little annoyed, though. He had the support of his family's secret medicines and resources, and had been stuck at the Golden Marrow Grandmaster level for many years without breaking through. Now, someone else had taken that step.
However, the Huang family also has several uncles of the Golden Marrow Grandmaster level, and even two Martial Saints are in charge.
This is also why the Huang family has been able to maintain its position as the head of the four great families.
In addition, Bai Chengyu of the Bai family and Zhu Jingxing of the Zhu family were also awakened, looking at the blood clouds in the distance, each with their own thoughts.
Among the minor aristocratic families...
Pei Shiliang of the Pei family was awakened, reportedly because someone was attempting to break through the Golden Marrow Barrier.
He muttered something about Jinsui Pass and turned over to sleep.
The Pei family is not outstanding among the aristocratic families, but Pei Shiliang is the number one among the younger generation, having cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster of Golden Marrow for several years.
For him, others who break through to become Grandmasters are just latecomers, nothing special.
Pei Shiliang was just a little troubled because the governor had come to him several times to ask for help, offering generous terms.
The Pei family was actually persuaded, but the four major families of Huang, Bai, Zhu, and Wu remained unmoved, and it was not easy for them, as a minor family, to make a move.
He was a grandmaster who longed to go into battle and kill enemies, but now he was stuck and couldn't move at all, so he could only sulk and go to sleep.
Without mentioning the reactions throughout the city.
Inside the study of the Yang residence.
The young girl, Hu Jiaoniang, presided over the formation, watching Yang Silang with great tension.
"My husband, you must succeed!"
Yang Silang was in a meditative state and was unaware of anything in the outside world.
At this moment, he focused all his energy into his dantian.
The final and most difficult hurdle in breaking through the realm is the True Meaning Formation of the Elixir.
"Now is the time!"
He had been preparing for a long time, and his energy and spirit were at their peak, so he no longer hesitated.
"The true meaning of the five elements, emerge!"
Yang Silang’s forehead shone brightly, his blood and energy had reached their peak, and his heart was pounding like a heavy drum!
With his heart pounding, his skin turned bright red, and he radiated an intense heat.
Even the organs transformed by the yellow jade fruit exuded boundless energy.
Use your spiritual awareness to focus your inner gaze on the dantian.
"Metal-shattered Mountain!"
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared above the gas field, containing a hundredfold cold light that instantly enveloped the pill embryo layer by layer, causing them to rub against each other.
The true essence of metal is unparalleled in its sharpness, unyielding and indestructible, capable of cleaving through everything. When it rubs against the embryonic core, it completely severs the sharp golden crystals on its surface.
The embryonic form was still irregularly shaped, but all the sharp golden crystals on it had been broken off.
"Wood is alive!"
Another green light flashed, revealing lush greenery and a vibrant aura of life, which rushed onto the embryonic pill.
The true meaning of the element Wood is to prolong life, nourish all things, and promote healing.
Nourished by this true essence, the embryo suddenly swelled, expanding in size and becoming much more solid in color.
"Water belongs to all rivers!"
A blue light appeared, containing countless waves, an endless flow.
The blue light enveloped the embryonic elixir, causing it to spin rapidly.
Water belongs to the true meaning of all waters, which are hidden and gathered, with gentleness containing power, embracing and following the trend. At the same time, it also has the power to overcome the hard with the soft and to polish all things. When the blue light dissipates, the embryo has begun to show its perfection, with only some minor flaws in some places.
"Fire element sublimation!"
A flash of fiery red light appeared, revealing a surging, overwhelming inferno.
The flames enveloped the elixir embryo, instantly burning it thoroughly from the inside out, eliminating all impurities.
As the flames subsided, a round pill appeared on the gas field, smaller than before.
However, it is round and smooth, and already has the appearance of a cinnabar, but it is somewhat illusory and not yet solid.
"Earth is a solid element!"
Yang Silang urged out the last bit of yellow earth elemental essence.
A glimmer of earthy yellow light appeared and entered the embryonic elixir.
The true meaning of Earth is to be heavy and supportive, steady and steadfast, and incorruptible!
I don't know how much time passed.
When the earthy light fades.
Above the energy field, a round, bright white bead was steadily suspended in the dantian.
Yang Silang suddenly opened his eyes.
The Golden Marrow Realm has been broken.
The Grandmaster has been achieved!
In that instant, he thought of many things from his past.
At the age of 16, he joined the Sanshui Association to learn martial arts and practice the three-legged stance.
At the age of 17, he entered the martial arts academy and was trained by Long Yiyan, becoming a copper-skinned martial artist and passing the martial arts examination to become a scholar!
At the age of 18, he first became an Iron Bone Martial Arts Master. After passing the imperial examination for martial arts, he broke through to become a Steel-Dirty Grand Martial Arts Master in his hometown house, amidst the chorus of frogs.
He became a master in the barren mountains of his hometown on the eve of the Lunar New Year at the age of 19.
He passed the military examination at the age of 20 and obtained the true meaning of the Five Elements.
Now at the age of 21, all the hard work has finally paid off, and today I have attained the status of a Grandmaster of the Golden Marrow!
Before he knew it, Yang Silang felt his eyes welling up with tears.
