Chapter 1488 Breakthrough

“I’m hungry.”

After returning to the house, Mengmeng wanted to eat something.

“A fierce battle would consume a lot of energy. I will make you some nutritious food.” Zhang Han smiled, walked into the kitchen, and slowly cooked.

He took out a lot of nutritious and energy-filled Exotic Beast meat, stir-fried it, and stewed it.

The others sat in the yard to rest, chatting and talking about what had just happened.

“My daughter,” Yue Wuwei said, “look at Mengmeng. She can now fight against a Dao Seeking Cultivator in the Void-refining Realm. You have to work harder.”

“Got it.” Yue Xiaonao didn’t want to hear it. She said, “I have you guys to protect me anyway. Why would I need to be in such a hurry to learn?”

“What you said makes sense.” Yue Wuwei felt helpless when he heard this. It took him a long time to say this.

He thought to himself. “I still have to protect them for many years anyway. Yue Xiaonao will definitely be able to become a Tribulation Stage Dao Seeking Cultivator in eighty or a hundred years.”

“You did a good job in this battle. It’s kind of interesting,” Yue Wuwei praised.

“How was it interesting?” Mengmeng asked.

“It’s otherworldly and has many means involved. Also, you were flexible in using them. This battle is close to the ones between the upper echelons of the Cultivation World,” Yue Wuwei said.

“It’s far from the top. It’s just a small fight now.” Zhang Han controlled more than a dozen dishes to levitate beside him as they floated to the dining table. Everyone was ready to eat. He sat down and said with a smile, “My daughter is only at the God Transformation Realm Early Stage. Now she can absorb some medicinal pellets to help her make a breakthrough to the Middle Stage. It’s estimated that she can make it in about half a month. Then, she can digest the side effects of those medicinal pellets and stabilize her cultivation for a period. When she reaches the Tribulation Stage, she can go to the Central Galaxy, which is the starting point of the high-end cultivation world and has countless secret realms.”

“The Central Galaxy is too far away. Even I haven’t been there.” Yue Wuwei’s eyes flickered, and he also wanted to go there and explore.

Zhang Han took a sip of wine and said, “The classification of the Astral Domains is just a very general concept.”

While the others at the table were eating, they all listened to him talk about these things with confidence. Zhang Han’s narration was also something they liked.

Some anecdotes were very interesting, but Zhang Han would occasionally talk about them when Mengmeng was around. The guys had never heard Zhang Han talking about them when Mengmeng was not around.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Han smiled and said, “The classification system does not mean that a specific Galaxy is designated as an advanced Galaxy. Instead, it refers to the level of the secret realms within. In the secret realms in the Center Galaxy, there are often eighth-tier spirit treasures, even ninth-tier spirit treasures, which are rare and valuable, not ordinary ones. Even in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, the number of spirit treasures is limited. The Astral Domain of Vast Heaven also has a limit. There are almost no powerful spirit treasures here, let alone Profound-grade treasures…”

While he was talking, what happened, in reality, contradicted his words, but they didn’t see it with their own eyes.

In the void of the universe outside an enormous planet known as the Vast Heaven Star.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Suddenly, there was a large-scale tremor.

Countless spatial rifts appeared. It was as if a piece of space had been smashed apart. The scale of the spatial rifts was so large that it made one’s hair stand on end.

The space station in the distance didn’t notice it at all.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

Like a sun, it illuminated the starry sky, but the strange thing was that the light was only shining in the crack area and could not be seen.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a flash of golden light flashed past.

Judging from its outline, it seemed to be a meteorite.

In a free falling way, it descended toward the enormous Vast Heaven Star.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the surface, a trace of energy that leaked out from the meteorite caused the ground within a radius of dozens of meters to sink. All the trees, mountains, and rivers were completely destroyed.

At this moment, all the electronic devices on the Vast Heaven Star suddenly short-circuited.

No one had noticed all of this at all.

At that moment, the meteorite seemed to have smashed through the void. Flames suddenly burst out on the ground, and then the meteorite disappeared from the world.

However, the destruction of the entire surface of the earth was very eye-catching.

At the center, there was a faint light, which meant that a brand new secret realm had been born.

The next day.

At dawn, Mengmeng finished her night of cultivation, washed up, and took a walk in the backyard.

Just ten minutes later, her communication device in the sect rang.

She took a look and found that it was a message from Hun Xuan, who told her that she was coming over for a visit.

“That woman in red…” Mengmeng thought for a while and agreed.

Unexpectedly, in just ten minutes, Hun Xuan arrived.

She said with a kind attitude and a smile, “Zhang Yumeng, you don’t mind that I’ve come over to chat with you, do you?”

“Since you’re already here, how can I refuse?” Mengmeng responded.

Hun Xuan was stunned. She felt that Zhang Yumeng was quite lively.

She smiled and asked, “How old are you?”

“You’re here to check my background? How old are you?” Mengmeng asked in reply.

“I’m an adult.”

“I’m an adult too.”

“What a coincidence.” Hun Xuan said, “When I first saw you, I felt that we were fated.”

“Really?” Mengmeng didn’t know why she was here.

Looking at her enthusiastic smile, Mengmeng felt that she should stay away from her a bit.

“Could it be that this girl is really into women?”

...

“Really, of course.” Hun Xuan smiled and said, “I like lively and lovely girls like you.”

“Hahaha, I’m so honored,” Mengmeng said with an embarrassed laugh.

“I knew from the sect’s information that you are a disciple of the Radiant Institute of the Heavenly Double Star?” Hun Xuan said, “I have never been to that planet before, but I have heard of the Radiant Institute. I didn’t expect such a small sect to be able to produce a powerful cultivator like you.”

“My skills are just average.” Mengmeng suddenly asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”

“What? Well, it’s nothing. I just thought that we are fated, so I came to have a casual chat with you.”

Hun Xuan thought about it and decided to find a topic. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to talk about it like this since she couldn’t get anything out of Mengmeng. She said, “Oh, by the way, you are now the No.1 in the east of the south coast. I guess you will face a lot of challenges later. It will distraught you when dealing with so many challenges. Many outstanding disciples have at least five sixth-tier spirit treasures. Do you know what the best way to deal with this situation is?”

“I don’t know.” Mengmeng shook her head slightly.

“The best way is to keep challenging the others.” Hun Xuan said, “When some disciples are ready to take action, you can challenge the No. 1 Expert in the west. His name is Ge Xiliu, and he is at the Peak Stage of the God Transformation Realm. He just became the most powerful person in the west three years ago. He always wants to challenge my brother, but my brother ignored him and has been cultivating hard. In fact, my brother is a very nice guy. He is not only handsome but also honest…”

“Let’s talk about Ge Xiliu, shall we?” Mengmeng asked, grinning.

“Oh, right.” Hun Xuan came to her senses and said, “Ge Xiliu is a disciple of a first-echelon subsidiary sect of the Sword Sect, which is Haoyang Sect. Every year, he will be given a lot of cultivation resources. This guy’s strength has improved very quickly, but he can’t compare with my brother and he’s a little weaker than him in terms of overall strength. Since you can defeat my brother, you can defeat that guy.”

“I see. It’s almost the same as I thought. I’m going to challenge some outstanding disciples,” Mengmeng said. “I’ll do it while I still have some time. I’m going to leave soon. I won’t be back for several months.”

...

“Why will you be leaving?” Hun Xuan asked.

“I need to take a training,” Mengmeng answered casually.

“I see.” Hun Xuan nodded and said, “When you defeat Ge Xiliu, you will be more famous. But you will still be the No.1 in the east, not the No.1 in the west because the Swordbamboo Peak is in the east. Unless you can win… Forget it, let’s not talk about him.”

“Who?” Mengmeng asked.

Hun Xuan didn’t finish her words, which annoyed Mengmeng.

Hun Xuan did not keep Mengmeng guessing. She smiled and said, “He is the No.1 on the south coast. Ten years ago, he suddenly appeared and his strength was powerful. Now, he is in the middle stage of the Void-refining Realm. His Taoist title is Heavenly Hound.”

“He’s a dog?” Mengmeng was really stunned this time.

“It’s the Heavenly Hound, and it’s only his Taoist title.” The corners of Hun Xuan’s mouth were slightly stiff. “The Heavenly Hound has been out all year round, and I don’t know what he is busy with. The origin of his Taoist title is that he has a divine pet, the Holy Wind Dog King, which is famous for its speed. It’s very powerful.”

This remark piqued Mengmeng’s interest. She asked, “Is it male or female?”

“It’s a male dog, it’s said that that dog used to steal some female disciple’s underwear.” Hun Xuan said, “If someone wears a skirt, that dog will always go over and flirt with them, which is very smutty.”

“Oh my god, it’s really a freak,” Mengmeng said.

“Heavenly Hound is the number one expert on the south coast. He swindles people without batting an eye and uses nasty means. Therefore, few people have challenged him in recent years. The main reason is that Heavenly Hound’s strength is strong and he is also a famous expert among the protectors. He has offended many disciples of the other three great sects. Anyone who finds him in the war zone will be hunted down and killed.”

Hun Xuan said, “So we don’t stay with him when we are on a mission. It will be troublesome with him around. Since you are going out to train in a while, it doesn’t matter whether you challenge him or not. When you have time, you can challenge Ge Xiliu. As for Heavenly Hound, it… depends on the situation.”

Hun Xuan’s words were very euphemistic.

In her opinion, Mengmeng would probably not be a match for the Heavenly Hound.

“I’ll be cultivating and learning in half a month. After I’m done with that, I’ll make a trip to the west of the south coast.”

While they were talking, a figure quickly flew over from the distance.

When Mengmeng saw it from a distance, she was stunned. “Huh?”

With a smile on her face, she waved her hand and asked, “You’re here, Aunty Jiang.”

“I knew you guys were here as soon as I heard your name.” Jiang Yanlan quickly approached them. She glanced at Hun Xuan and didn’t say anything to her since she didn’t know her. She said to Mengmeng with a smile, “Master and Ma’am are also here, right?”

“They’re both here. Xiaonao, Elder Yue, Aunty Lisa, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Chen are also here,” Mengmeng said.

“That’s great.” Jiang Yanlan covered her mouth and chuckled. She was very excited. She looked around and felt that it was still early, so she couldn’t disturb the guys.

Finally, her eyes were fixed on Mengmeng again. She sighed with emotion and said, “I didn’t expect that our little princess of Mount New Moon would be so powerful now. It’s really amazing that you’ve become the No. 1 Expert in the east of the south coast.”

“Haha, we all know that you are here, but the sect is too big, so we didn’t go out to look for you. We were waiting for you to come to us,” Mengmeng said.

“Well…” Hun Xuan thought for a moment and said, “Zhang Yumeng, since you have a friend over, I’ll go back now. Call me when you want to challenge Ge Xiliu. I can arrange it.”

“Okay.”

After saying goodbye, Hun Xuan flew back to her own house, sat in a chair, and murmured strangely, “Aunty Jiang. That woman’s surname is Jiang. Who is she?”

She took out the equipment and searched for the sect disciples. There were a lot of them surnamed Jiang. It was no different from looking for a needle at the bottom of the sea.

She searched the supervisors and found that the number of people had decreased sharply.

She then searched the chief supervisors.

Her eyes were fixed on a name.

“Jiang Yanlan, the number one of the Flying Flower Peak. It’s her! It turns out to be her, a disciple of the Flying Flower Peak in the east of the north coast. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. I’ve seen her before.

“They come from the same place. Zhang Yumeng is the little princess of Mount New Moon. Jiang Yanlan’s master and his wife are definitely not disciples of the Radiant Institute on the Heavenly Double Star. It seems that they have some background.”

After thinking for a while, she looked at the yard next door and whispered, “No matter what their background is, I think Zhang Yumeng is suitable for my brother…”

Sitting in the courtyard next door, Hun Shang was eating breakfast, which was rare. When he heard Hun Xuan’s muttering, he sighed. He felt helpless.

How could he think about love before taking revenge?

On the other side, Mengmeng and Jiang Yanlan were sitting in the courtyard.

“Leng Yue came to me before, and we went to other places together,” Jiang Yanlan said. “Leng Yue is in the Authentic Martial Arts Sect, and there are many of our people in their inner court, including Ah Hu, Elder Meng, Jiang Bing, and Yun Feiyang. Everyone knows the news about you. We also went to the Chu Family’s place, rested for a while, and then came back here again. We all knew that you would come here in about half a year. I felt that it was about time.

“Mu Xue, Liu Qi, and Xu Yong are all in the Heavenly Evil Sect.”

“Didn’t Instructor Liu come with you?” Mengmeng was stunned.

“I didn’t let him come.” Jiang Yanlan chuckled. “With our strength, we just need to stay here to gain experience. If we go to the territory of other sects at will, it will be easy to be discovered.”

“I see.”

Jiang Yanlan said, “I’ve been out for so long. I really want to go back to Earth. When will you go back this time?”

“Maybe when I start school. It doesn’t matter if I’m one or two months late,” Mengmeng said. “I’ve started going to college.”

“Everything changes so fast.” Jiang Yanlan shook her head and sighed with emotion, “Time flies.”

“I’ve grown up, haven’t I?”

“You’re right.” Jiang Yanlan asked with a smile, “Which university are you studying at?”

“Westpam University in the West Capital.”

“According to your ability, you should be the top scorer.”

“You’re right about that. I don’t feel any pressure when I take any exam.”

“You’ve been smart since you were a child as our little princess from Mount New Moon.

“Headmaster Shan is also in the Sword Sect. He has gone to the Third War Zone and hasn’t come back yet,” Jiang Yanlan said.

“We’ve found most of our guys except that my Great-Grandpa, You Huo, and the others haven’t been found yet. It’s been so long. I guess they’ll be back soon.”

The two of them chatted about the recent situation.

A moment later, Zhang Han and Zi Yan finished cleaning up.

“Master, Ma’am.”

Jiang Yanlan’s face lit up when she saw the two of them.

“You’re here. I’ll make some breakfast. Have a seat.”

Zhang Han smiled.

At the dinner table, Yue Xiaonao arrived on time.

Lisa and Yue Wuwei arrived only a few minutes later.

Jiang Yanlan repeated what she had told Mengmeng.

When it was noon.

“I’m not going back. Ma’am, don’t you also have a residence?” Jiang Yanlan asked.

“It’s just next door.” Zi Yan pointed in the direction and said, “You can stay there.”

They all came as inner-door disciples, and each of them had a house. In addition to Zi Yan’s house, Lisa’s house was also vacant.

Zhao Feng and Chen Changqing had been cultivating hard recently, so it was rare to see them.

That afternoon, Zhang Han gave Mengmeng three medicinal pellets.

“Go to the training room. After taking the pellets, you can break through to the God Transformation Realm Middle Stage in about half a month,” Zhang Han said.

“Okay, I’ll go now.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Mengmeng took the medicinal pellets and went back to her training room.

Zhang Han roughly estimated that half a month would be enough for Mengmeng, who had no trouble making a breakthrough, to absorb the medicinal pellets and turn them into her own energy.

But something unexpected happened.

After just five days.

When it was noon, Mengmeng came out of the training room.

After looking around, she didn’t see anyone.

“That’s strange. Where did everyone go?”

Mengmeng sat on a branch and waited silently.

It was not until two hours later that she saw everyone walking back.

Mengmeng jumped down and said from a distance, “Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Hey!”

Yue Xiaonao was startled. “Mengmeng, you’ve finished it so soon? Wasn’t it supposed to take half a month?”

Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei looked at each other.

“She used so little time to finish it.” Yue Wuwei sighed and said, “She’s indeed the Heavenly Lord. She’s really fast.”

The time one needed to make a breakthrough was not constant, but it depended on one’s situation.

The effect of the medicinal pellets given by Zhang Han could allow one to make a stable breakthrough in half a month.

They didn’t expect Mengmeng to finish it in five days.

“Daddy, take a look.”

Zhang Han flashed over and put his right hand on Mengmeng’s shoulder to feel her aura. He was silent for a moment.

“How is it?” Mengmeng asked.

“You made a solid breakthrough.”

Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, “It’s so fast, which means that you have a strong ability to absorb medicinal pellets. If that’s the case, it won’t be long before you break through to the God Transformation Realm Last Stage.”

“Where did you go?”

“Haha, they all went to watch my battle,” Yue Xiaonao said proudly. “I challenged Liu Sheng today. I beat him up.”

Hearing this, Mengmeng couldn’t help laughing.

“Why didn’t she beat someone else up?”

“We’ve been out for some time.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “You two girls shouldn’t be idle. Go out and find some people to practice your skills. It’s good to experience more battles.”

“Okay. I’ll challenge Ge Xiliu in the west of the south coast tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,” Mengmeng said, “and then the No.1 on the south coast, named Heavenly Hound.”

“It’s not easy to defeat Heavenly Hound.” Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, “When we go out these days, I’ll teach you some more profound methods of using occult arts.”

“Oh, okay.”

One had a long way to go in cultivation.

Mengmeng was now enjoying the fun brought by the growth of her strength.

It was a faint sense of satisfaction.

Of course, the precondition was that everyone was around.

Mengmeng had made a great breakthrough in the Crimson Sunglow Sect when she was alone there, but she was not very happy.

The source of the little princess’s happiness was very simple. Whenever she achieved something, she would be praised by everyone, especially Zhang Han and Zi Yan. Both of them would praise her and make her very happy.

“Let’s go.”

That afternoon, Zhang Han took Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao with him.

They left the inner court.

Deep within the mountain range, there was wave after wave of energy fluctuations.

Three days later, they returned.

Hun Xuan came over and chatted for a while. At noon, she went to the west of the south coast in person.

At the gate of others’ territory, Hun Xuan’s voice rumbled like thunder.

“Zhang Yumeng, the No.1 martial artist in the east of the south coast, is going to challenge Ge Xiliu on Able River Peak in three days.”
