The blood-red radiant cluster pulled out by the Blood Moon Jade from the Waist Storage is naturally the energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array that Yun Xiao condensed from the bottom of the Big Lake on Xianyun Island.

This thing, fused with endless human Blood Energy, has been made extremely pure through certain methods by Yun Xiao, even more refined than the Blood Energy absorbed by the Sacred Heavenly Spirit You River back then.

But at that time, just as Yun Xiao had refined this Blood Energy, Wu Zhukong, Wei Duzheng and others arrived, and a subsequent fierce battle gave him no opportunity to refine the Blood Energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array.

It wasn't until this moment, perhaps driven by the subconscious of the Blood Moon Jade's reluctance to only let Yun Xiao break through to the early stage of the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, that it directly pulled out this cluster of Blood Energy.

In a state of haze, Yun Xiao, under a certain mysterious force, slowly raised his right arm, and finally touched the human head-sized blood-red radiant cluster with the blood-red Crescent Mark in the palm of his right hand.

Whoosh!

The energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, which had just appeared for a few breaths, suddenly vanished the next moment; however, it disappeared not into the Waist Storage, but into Yun Xiao's body.

The power of the Blood Moon Jade is indeed unfathomable. After absorbing the blood-red cluster into Yun Xiao's body, the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique commenced immediately, beginning the absorption of the vast energy.

This was the Sacred Heavenly Spirit You River that painstakingly arranged the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, devouring the immense Blood Energy for nearly a year. Although it absorbed part of it, the remaining energy was still extremely potent.

If an ordinary early-stage Floating Life Realm Practicioner dared to absorb this Blood Energy, they would likely burst and perish instantly.

Only those like the Sacred Heavenly Spirit You River, with its immense capacity, dared to devour the energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, but unexpectedly, Yun Xiao ended up benefiting.

Yun Xiao's physical body is perhaps comparable to some intermediate Silver Grade Sky Demons.

Plus the magic of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, the energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array did not burst him immediately but stalled in a strange manner.

Yet the energy of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array was too violent, even mixed with some humans' negative emotions before death. If kept in this state, the results are hard to predict.

Sigh...

Fortunately, at this critical moment, another robust Devouring Power suddenly erupted from a part of Yun Xiao's body, and this power was even more vast than the refining power of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique.

This power, which suddenly arrived and resolved Yun Xiao's imminent crisis, naturally belongs to the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu. Truth be told, lending strength to Yun Xiao this time, the aftermath Xiao Wu will have to bear won't be any easier than Yun Xiao's.

This almost exhausted all of Xiao Wu's power, and without external force to absorb, he might fall into a coma for several years, which is not impossible.

This head-sized cluster of energy from the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array was initially intended to help a Sacred Heavenly Spirit recover all its strength, possibly advancing the You River further to the Holy Spirit tier.

It's conceivable how vast the energy within is. Even if Yun Xiao and Xiao Wu divide it, the power each can acquire is unparalleled.

But this devouring and refining process won't be short, leaving the external three people and one demon with fluctuating worries, entirely unsure what to do!

......

"Chi Yan, hasn't Big Brother already completed his breakthrough? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

At this moment, Ling Wan surprisingly did not question Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing anymore but turned to Chi Yan, who similarly expressed doubt, hoping for some answers from the little mouse.

"Well... I'm not quite sure about this!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Chi Yan's small eyes; he stretched out his front paw to touch his rat head, and his words left Ling Wan disappointed.

"Since he can breakthrough, it means his injuries are no longer a severe issue. We shouldn't disturb him, let's keep waiting!"

Seeing Liu Hanyi took a step forward, seemingly wanting to inspect inside the room, Mo Qing quickly pulled her back, his words were cautious as one would expect from a Medical Pulse Master.

Indeed, as Mo Qing said, the momentum of Yun Xiao breaking through to the Heavenly Rank tier was extremely astonishing, in stark contrast to Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu's previous judgments, leaving her both shocked and delighted.

To breakthrough implies the injuries are no longer a concern and disproves the previous assessments by Qian Sanyuan that Yun Xiao might lose all Meridian Qi, which must be incorrect; how could someone breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Realm lose all Meridian Qi?

Since he hasn't come out after the breakthrough, it indicates Yun Xiao has his deliberations. Barging in now might disrupt Yun Xiao's plans.

Liu Hanyi, although anxious, did not insist after Mo Qing's reminder; however, her beautiful eyes continuously scrutinized the room door, seemingly wanting to see through it.

"Heh, I really want to see the expressions on those old guys' faces. Didn't they make a firm declaration? This is a real slap in the face, big brother!"

Realizing that it was no longer possible for Yun Xiao to lose his Meridian Qi, a mischievous smile appeared on Ling Wan's usually honest face. Such a smile was indeed rare coming from him.

The reason Ling Wan said this was because over the past two months, elders like Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu from Refining Cloud Mountain frequently came to check Yun Xiao's pulse and treat him, but ultimately, there was no effect at all.

Later, both Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu concluded that because of Yun Xiao's chaotic meridians, this young man would never return to his peak, and might even lose his Meridian Qi completely, becoming an ordinary person.

This made Ling Wan, who was already feeling agitated, even more depressed, thinking that these self-proclaimed top-notch Meridian Refining Masters on the continent were all just for show.

Ling Wan came from Xuanyin Hall and did not hold much reverence for the experts of Refining Cloud Mountain. Therefore, his words at this time were not malicious, just an expression of excitement from his joyful mood.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, just as Ling Wan finished speaking, two sounds of breaking wind suddenly came from outside. When he turned his head to look, his expression undoubtedly became a bit embarrassed.

"Teacher!"

"Teacher!"

Apart from Ling Wan's embarrassed expression, while Chi Yan continued gnawing on the nuts in his hand, upon seeing these two arrivals, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing did not dare to be negligent, and they rushed forward to salute.

Because the two who suddenly entered the courtyard were the two with the highest status and position in Refining Cloud Mountain, aside from the President—Vice President Qian Sanyuan and the Dean of the Heavenly Hospital, Qingmu Wu.

"Eh? Neither of you has broken through?"

Upon entering the courtyard, Qian Sanyuan's gaze swept over the two girls, revealing a hint of disappointment, and then turned his gaze to the chubby boy on the side.

It was clear that Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu hadn't heard Ling Wan's previous words. When they looked at this talented little fatty from Xuanyin Hall and found that he was still only at the half-step Heavenly Rank, their expressions tightened once more.

"Ling Wan, you haven't broken through either?"

Qian Sanyuan's tone contained a deep sense of doubt. After all, he and Qingmu Wu had not planned to visit today, since Yun Xiao's condition had persisted for two months without any improvement, and they did not wish to be disappointed once more.

However, as the two were discussing certain matters, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura erupting from the courtyard.

That aura shot straight into the sky, and it was impossible for experts like them, who were at the Heavenly Rank Soul level, to not sense it.

Immediately upon sensing that aura, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu were both shocked and delighted, because it was clearly the aura of someone breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm. Considering a possibility, they rushed over here without any delay.

Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu both knew that during this period, Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi had little interest in cultivation, spending at least six or seven out of ten days in Yun Xiao's courtyard.

The location where that force erupted was precisely Yun Xiao's courtyard. These two had never thought that the unconscious boy could still break through.

Thus, the greatest possibility was that the two half-step Heavenly Rank genius girls, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing, because of some opportunity, obtained the fortune of breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Realm.

Liu Hanyi was Qingmu Wu's disciple, and Mo Qing was Qian Sanyuan's disciple. Therefore, both had a peculiar expectation in their hearts as they rushed toward this place, hoping that the one who broke through to the Heavenly Rank was their own esteemed disciple.

So, upon entering the courtyard, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu first sensed Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing's cultivation levels. When they sensed that these two girls were still at the half-step Heavenly Rank, they both revealed a hint of disappointment.

Since it wasn't these two girls, the one who broke through to the Heavenly Rank could only be the genius from Xuanyin Hall, Ling Wan, who was also at the half-step Heavenly Rank. Yet, when these two turned their gaze toward Ling Wan, they sensed that he was still only at the half-step Heavenly Rank.

"Could it be..."

Upon realizing this fact, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu exchanged a glance and saw an intense disbelief and incredulity in each other's eyes.

Because in this courtyard, besides the three half-step Heavenly Rank young prodigies, there was only one Fire Cloud Rat, Chi Yan, who had long reached the Heavenly Demon Rank.

If the explosive aura just now wasn't triggered by Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, or Ling Wan, and couldn't be the aura of the Spirit Flame, then only one possibility remained.

Thinking of this, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu's gaze immediately turned to the tightly closed door, sensing the aura that still lingered faintly, their hearts already stirred up enormous waves.

"Teacher, you must have been drawn here by the breakthrough aura just now. Actually... it was Yun Xiao who broke through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm!"
