Chapter 6

When all twelve channels connected together, a pillar of energy surged from his body reaching to the sky and went beyond clouds. He tried to observe it with his senses but not able to. After his breakthrough, he felt light as a feather and his fist could shatter the heavens. Yue Yang didn't become arrogant and nor was he satisfied with his current strength, he knew even with his skills and cheats he was still an ant who was only a little stronger than normal people. This was only one of the steps to became stronger. If he wanted to truly control his destiny then he had to become stronger than anyone in the world.

While he was having his philosophy thinking the Da Xia was in turmoil since they discovered a new innate was born but they couldn't see anything about the new innate.

.....

Yue Yang quickly absorbed the remaining energy in the surroundings before starting to mediate to solidify his first layer completely. His breakthrough took some time, it was dawn when he reached home. After entering his room, he decided to focus on mastering the sword moves.

.....

In the morning, he was training together with Yue Bing. Yue Yang didn't want anything to happen to her so he convinced her to train her body too. He specially created a training routine for her for a week.

When they were not training they can be seen playing with their little sister. If not that, he was seen spending time with Xiulan. He liked to call her Xiu'er so his sister also called her that.

He didn't rest too much and spent most of the time in training. He was confident enough to break through the second layer soon.

With this, his body became fairer and white. Although his body is fairer nobody can mistake him for a girl because his aura also changed becoming more like a sharp sword.

Yue Bing could also feel her growth in the week. She felt that her third brother was a Genius and not trash as he was called by everyone.

He had also joined the Assassin's Guild and get the title of Vengeance Hunter. He had already started killing people who appeared on the map provided by the guild. He was using their body as fertilizer for his thorny flower and keeping the core of beasts for future use.

.....

After a week, He had already mastered the second stage of Innate invisible sword qi. But his energy was so pure and powerful that he was confident that anyone below Innate Level 4 would be no match for him.

His fourth uncle hasn't returned yet but had he sent a servant to bring the gift that clan had rewarded him for contracting the grimoire. As it was the beast he wanted, he was very happy with the gift and couldn't wait to contract them. However, his sister and mother didn't want him to contract the beast as it will only waste his grimoire's pages.

Yue Bing felt that the Clan wasn't fair towards her family and was indignant. She knew elders send the Quintet Mice and hundred gold to her brother because they wanted to ruin his advancements and grimoire's pages. She couldn't do anything at all and this made her even sadder.

He comforted her by saying that he will not contract with the five mice. But inside he knew how important these beasts were for treasure hunting.

After watching fourth mother and Yue Bing leave, he closed the door and immediately contracted with them. They only took one page of his grimoire. He immediately summoned them and ordered them to search for treasures,

A golden light flashed and five mice appeared, all with different colors. Then all mice gathered at a certain place in the room, squeaking noisily. When he tried his senses he was shocked that he was not able to feel anything.

On an empty space of his grimoire page, a line of words magically appeared, " Gold detected, Amount: Little, Jadestone artifact, Power contained: Huge..."

He was excited. Now he can enter seal space and meet Empress Fei Wen Li. Even if he had mastered heavenly runes he was not able to unlock the pendant because of his lacking energy.

By constant hunting down people, his grimoire leveled up to Intermediate. His inherent skills both level up to level 2. He stopped using grimoire because he didn't want it to level up so fast.

He took the pendant to Xiulan who unlocked it with just a wave of her hand which made her dumbfounded.

She smiled and tossed the pendant to Yue Yang before saying sweetly "This will be useful for you. I'm impressed you were able to master the second stage. Tomorrow, I will show you the third stage." Yue Yang had told her not to be formal with him and treated him like a friend or family.

Yue Yang thanked her before returning to his room. He told her that he was going out and she didn't have to come and only rest at home. He then quickly left the house and reached his hidden spot in the forest to absorb the energy. After an hour and more, He finally broke through the third layer and truly became an Innate. The runes of grimoire also became a little complicated and the title of innate in grimoire shines with pure golden color. He could feel that his mastery of nirvana flames increased as he could control more amount now.

After returning to his room he checked his grimoire, his first beast phantom shadow increased in level, and gain a new skill

Giant Shadow: By overlapping 5 Shadows, a Giant Shadow is created. When applied to a person or Beast, increases strength by 100 fold. Lasts one minute but can increase time up to 3 minutes if it overlaps more shadows and can be applied to anyone.

After closing it, he used a dagger to injure himself and put his blood on the pendant. Initially, there weren't any changes but after a while, a tiny black hole appeared on the pendant. He was teleported inside the pendant. He first felt pain but soon it disappeared.
