He turned his head and saw that he had thrown more than 35 servings of water into the corner.

It turned out that more than two years and ten months had already passed unknowingly and Yi Yan was still more than a month away from leaving this place.

Looking around the cave, he was sure that he would have his family cultivate with him in the future. Then, this place that had been passed down for over a thousand years might never open again.

Initially, he had wanted to destroy all the books here. However, after thinking about it, Yi Yan slowly lowered his raised hand.

After more than a thousand years, many martial arts techniques of various sects had been lost. The ones stored here were probably the only ones left in the world.

Perhaps even the Yi family's ancestor did not expect that the secret cave he left behind would become the place with the most martial arts manuals in the entire Huaxia.

Since Yi Yan had already decided to preserve this place, he casually removed the original simple and crude dust repelling array and prepared to set up another one.

Suddenly, Yi Yan discovered a burst of extremely weak energy fluctuations at the very bottom of the stone wall.

Now that the Earth Splitting Formation had been removed, it was naturally unable to hide from Yi Yan's spiritual consciousness.

"Could there be some other secret hidden away?"

Yi Yan could not help but become interested.

Yi Yan smiled bitterly in his heart: It's precisely because this Invisibility Formation was too simple that the energy fluctuations were extremely weak, such that even a cultivator like himself could not find it.

It seemed that after leaving the Cultivation Realm and going through such a long period of living as a mortal, his vigilance would drop by a lot. This was not a good thing, so he had to pay more attention to this in the future.

He could not let his guard down just because his strength was higher than everyone around him. Otherwise, he would regret his actions so much that he would not be able to make it in time.

He gently picked up the few pages, which were left behind by the ancestor who built this secret cave.

"To be able to enter this place means that you are an outstanding talent amongst my Yi family's descendants. To be able to see these words means that you have carefully observed this place and even cleaned it." You must be very curious as to why I wanted to build such a secret cave. Since you have the time to tidy up this place, you should have learnt all the martial arts suitable for you. Now you are qualified to know my original intention. "

< p > The first few sentences that he said aroused Yi Yan's interest. It seemed that his questions could finally be answered.

It turned out that the martial cultivator who had taught the Yi family's ancestor back then was also a martial arts expert. When his cultivation reached the peak of the Congenital Realm, the heaven warping genius entered the path of martial arts and entered the gate of cultivation. He was then led by the cultivators into the Cultivation Realm.

Because they did not belong to any sect or school, most of his days were spent on wandering the Secular Realm. One day, he accidentally saved the life of Tang Xuan Sect, who had yet to ascend the throne.

After the Celestial Sect of Wonders ascended to the throne, they deeply remembered the life saving grace of this cultivator and admired his skills. After much searching, they finally found him.

Only then did he enter the Imperial Palace to become a Guardian. Only after the death of the Tang Xuan Sect did he leave the Tang Palace.

In the palace, the diligent ancestor of the Yi family let this cultivator see his shadow from back then. He felt moved and gave him some pointers, passing on to him the < Seven Deadly Arts > that he had created after entering the Aurous Core stage.

Back in the day, the ancestors of the Yi family had experienced the power of that supreme expert, so they had gathered a lot of martial arts from all over the world, hoping to be like that expert and enter the Dao through martial arts.

Once, the cultivator had traveled to Qin Mountains and met the ancestor of the Yi family by accident.

He could not bear to see the ancestor of the Yi family suffer like this and told him that with his talent, it would be impossible for him to step into the Dao through martial arts in his lifetime.

Due to the shock, the Yi family's ancestor decided to build a secret cave, hoping that one of his descendants could fulfill his wish. At the same time, he begged the expert to help him set it up.

The expert recalled their love affair and helped the Yi family's ancestor create a few pieces of jade with a formation sealed inside. Only then did he obtain the Yi family's secret cave.

While hoping that later generations would have talented individuals that could enter the Dao through martial arts and fulfill their original wishes, the Yi family's ancestors were worried that the descendants of the Yi family would be suspected of having cultivated in other martial arts, and decided on the strange rule that Yi Yan knew.

Until now, Yi Yan's doubts could be considered completely solved.

Putting down his emotions, Yi Yan set up a few large arrays for the bookshelves on the stone wall. Other than these arrays, there were also defensive arrays to protect the bookshelves from the outside world.

On the stone platform, Tang Dao Yi Yan also kept it. Although the low rank treasure could be kept in his own body, Yi Yan still liked the feeling of holding it in his hands.

Yi Yan did not take away the "Seven Deadly Art" with him. Maybe there would be someone in the future who would be able to comprehend the Dao based on this, which could be considered a good opportunity.

Of course, Yi Yan had also re-established the array around the stone platform to protect it.

After doing all of this, Yi Yan turned his head to look around the secret cave again.

Not only had he learned a great number of moves and ways to use energy, but most importantly, the way to train martial arts had increased his close combat ability by ten times.

After passing through a long passage, Yi Yan once again returned to the entrance of the secret cave. While carefully studying the things he had learnt in the secret cave, he quietly waited for his grandfather to send him some food and water.

After a few days, the mountain wall finally opened as scheduled. Just as Yi Zhao, who had put down the food he had brought with him, was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a "Grandfather!"

It sounded by his ear.

Yi Zhao suddenly turned his head, and saw that Yi Yan was standing not far from the cave entrance, smiling at him.

There is still a month until the three-year period. Could it be that Yan'er remembered the time incorrectly?" Sigh, he's still just a child. The past three years of living by himself have truly been hard on him.

Yi Zhao could not help but be suspicious.

And then he said, "There's still a month left. Yan'er, hurry up and learn more. After all, you only have this one chance in your life. It would be a waste if you missed it."

"It's okay, grandpa. I've already learned what I need. The rest is just to practice and experience when I get back." Grandfather, don't worry, let's go back. "

Yi Yan did not explain any further.

< p > "Oh?" Then let's go. Your grandmother and the others miss you a lot too. "

Yi Zhao did not inquire any further.

The ancestors had passed down the rule that nothing in the cave could be questioned, and the decision of the person who entered the cave could not be interfered with.

As the Patriarch of an ancient clan, Yi Zhao had great respect for these rules. He did not even bother to question the Tang Dao in Yi Yan's hands.

The grandfather and grandson duo slowly walked down the mountain along the rugged mountain path.

Yi Yan sized up the scenery on the road. It was not much different from three years ago.

However, after staying in the cave for three years and returning to the outside world, Yi Yan's mood was very good.

Other than Yi Zhao, Mu Yao, Yi Yang, and Ouyang Qian did not know where Yi Yan had gone to. Yi Zhao had only told them that he had arranged for Yi Yan to go into closed door cultivation in a certain place.

Even if it was Yi Yang, he could vaguely guess that it was because of Yi Yan's outstanding talent that made him qualified to learn some secret skills passed down through the clan. He also knew nothing about the secret cave.

After more than an hour, Yi Yan finally returned to his home that he had been separated from for nearly three years.

Inside the living room, Mu Yao and Ouyang Qian were chatting. Yi Yang was not at home, so he should be taking care of the company's business.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two of them stopped. Ouyang Qian turned around and said, "Father, it's almost three years. Yan'er, he …"

As she spoke till here, Ouyang Qian's voice suddenly stopped, because she had already seen Yi Yan who was standing beside Yi Zhao.

Although Yi Yan had grown quite a bit taller in these three years and there were some changes in their appearances, the nature of blood ties between mother and son still allowed Ouyang Qian to recognize his own son at first glance.

Ouyang Qian didn't bother to greet her father and directly rushed to Yi Yan's side. She looked at her son, who was about the same height as her, and his eyes slowly became moist.

Yi Yan reached out to help Ouyang Qian wipe her tears, then said with a smile: "Mom, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, I miss you so much." How have you been these past few years? "

Ouyang Qian's voice trembled a little. It was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress the excitement in her heart.

That night, when Yi Yang returned, Mu Yao had the kitchen prepare a sumptuous meal. The family was finally able to sit down and eat a round meal again.

Yi Yan hadn't eaten anything in three years, and the fragrance of the food also caused his appetite to expand.

Mu Yao and Ouyang Qian kept on picking up dishes for Yi Yan, asking him questions non-stop.

Yi Zhao and Yi Yang watched on from the side with smiles, their eyes filled with warmth and pride.

Yi Yan deeply liked this kind of life that was made of flesh and blood, fully enjoying the care and care of his family.

This gave him a very different feeling compared to his Cultivation Realm.

After dinner, Yi Yan said that he was too tired and returned to his room.

The first thing he did was to check his own condition. Although Yi Yan had not trained seriously in the past four years since he had started practicing martial arts, the research on various martial arts techniques had still allowed his mental state to smoothly break through the late stage of Spirit Severing and reach the early stage of Body Fusion.

His cultivation had also stabilized at the peak of the Middle Spirit Realm. It seemed that he would be able to break through to the Late Spirit Realm soon.

Thinking back to the various martial arts he had learned in the secret cave, Yi Yan became more and more interested in martial arts.

First, the moves of Secular Realm were not suitable for cultivators to use; they could only be used as a reference; secondly, even if they could be used, the power would also be too small. In a battle with a cultivator, the opponent would not be able to make him use all of the moves.

Therefore, Yi Yan came up with an idea. Using his understanding of martial arts, he combined the essence of these moves together and created a set of cultivation techniques suitable for cultivators to use.

Just imagining the improvements these moves could bring to himself, Yi Yan felt extremely excited.

In the blink of an eye, another four years had passed. Yi Yan had only combed through the moves once as he went through a detailed classification.
