Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

As the leader of the Flame Guard, Yan Zhi could not possibly fail to notice the changes in Yan Yu.

After all, Yan Yu was still too young, so her state of mind wavered easily.

It’s not that one cannot start a family after becoming Flame Guard, but the Flame Guard requires absolute loyalty to the Great Yan Empress.

After starting a family, can you still be absolutely loyal?!

If you can, then there’s actually no need to start a family at all.

Yan Zhi actually wanted to prevent this from happening from the very beginning.

But Qin Yu was extremely important—if the Imperial Capital sent another Flame Guard, it would take much more time.

Sigh.

Let’s wait until they return to the Imperial Capital and see how things are then.

Yan Yu is still young; her mindset should be able to adjust.

...

When leaving this region, Qin Yu made a trip to the Cyan Mist Hall and met Hall Master Duanmu Hong.

This elderly man was reluctant to let him go, but he knew that compared to this region, the Great Yan Immortal Country needed Qin Yu more.

Only by going to the Imperial Capital could Qin Yu grow better.

”Remember—no matter when, you must protect those you care about around you!”

”Rest assured, Hall Master!”

Qin Yu solemnly promised this elderly man.

”Good! Haha...”

The old man laughed aloud, a true laugh from deep within; he didn’t delay, waved at Qin Yu, ”Go on!”

One day later.

Qin Yu and his party left the Cyan Mist Hall region.

During this time, Yan Yu changed to a new flying ship, the speed became much faster, and nothing happened along the way.

Could it be... the prediction was wrong?!

Of course, she never let her guard down, always maintaining a high level of vigilance.

Although Qin Yu and his lovely wives spent most of their time in the lifebound space, during leisure, they’d come out frequently to roam mountains and rivers with his wives.

After all, the journey was long, it was necessary to step out for some fresh air.

During this long voyage, Qin Yu gained a much deeper understanding of this vast, boundless continent.

There were endless mountain ranges, standing tall and mighty all the way to the horizon, as if forming the backbone of the earth. There were winding rivers, like giant dragons running wildly across the land—they surged or flowed gently, nurturing all living beings on this territory.

There were vast deserts of golden sand—a world of gold, dunes rolling and stretching as far as the eye could see, evoking a sense of solitude and desolate beauty. In sharp contrast was the immense lake that required a full day’s journey to cross, looking like a dazzling bright pearl set in the land, sparkling and breathtakingly beautiful.

Now at last, Qin Yu understood why this place was called... Immortal Country.

Even in remote regions, the vastness of the land far exceeded his imagination. Nearly half a year had passed; after asking Yan Yu, he learned they’d only traveled half the journey.

Good thing Yan Yu was with him—otherwise, if he had gone to the Imperial Capital alone, the time would likely have doubled.

In half a year, Qin Yu vastly improved in all aspects.

[Pure Yang Divine Body: Third Layer (3,211-5,000)]

[Celestial Eye: Third Layer (2,654-5,000)]

[Lifebound Space: Second Layer (126-1,000)]

[Lifebound Divine Technique: Minor Achievement (3/10)]

[Lifebound Divine Sword: Treasure Artifact (3/10)]

First, Flame Point—he gained a total of 110,000. Though only half a year had passed outside, inside his lifebound space, a full year had gone by!

And that was because Qin Yu was considerate of his wives’ cultivation needs; otherwise, it would have been more.

Liu Zixiao and Sect Leader’s Romantic Point improved, but that little demoness’s still didn’t change.

Qin Yu was helpless too.

He’d tried his best, but the Ninefold Celestial Palace was simply too hard to conquer.

Next was realm; he broke through to the Golden Core mid stage, and as the Free Creation Divine Technique improved recently, his cultivation progressed faster.

Qin Yu estimated he was already equivalent to an Earth Level cultivation technique, and at a pretty high level.

The speed was above average, but Spirit Stones were running short.

He was extravagant, using top grade Spirit Stones as array foundation. Nevertheless, worst case, he’d switch to lower quality stones and make do until the Imperial Capital.

Root Bone didn’t increase, but the strength of his Spiritual Power advanced once, now reaching Refining High Tier.

After Refining, next is Refining Deep.

According to Yan Yu, cultivators possessing Refining Deep level Spiritual Power are called... Master.

Master—even in the Imperial Capital, that status is highly honored, and respected everywhere!

Qin Yu felt he could definitely reach Refining Deep before arriving at the Imperial Capital.

Middle Grade Dao Bone, Refining Deep level Spiritual Power... Even in the Imperial Capital, that should be considered pretty impressive, right?

Pure Yang Divine Body would take another year or so to break through to Fourth Layer; Celestial Eye and Life Rune hadn’t improved.

But lifebound space upgraded just days ago.

At the time, Yan Yu was inside, gleefully watching Qin Yu have intimate moments with his little immortal wives, when suddenly, the white mist around receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moments later, the space inside directly doubled!

So lately, Qin Yu had been busy arranging the newly expanded space with his lovely wives, creating lots of scenery.

There was no Spirit Vein inside, but there was a Spirit Gathering Array, making the place feel more and more like a genuine Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Is it really just a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land?!

Though Qin Yu and his wives didn’t notice, Yan Yu in the Foundation Establishment Realm sensed the changes keenly.

The Dao Rhyme inside was sharper.

Even cultivating inside multiplied the effectiveness.

She almost didn’t want to leave the lifebound space anymore.

She wondered, after reaching the Imperial Capital, would Her Majesty the Empress still let her be Qin Yu’s Guardian?

Qin Yu felt a bit regretful.

The space improved, yet the time flow didn’t change.

What a shame.

If it had, he’d have gained hundreds of thousands of Flame Point for each year outside.

Beyond himself, his lovely wives made progress as well.

Lin Qianqian, who was the first to follow him—she originally didn’t even have Mortal Bone, but now she possessed Top Grade Spirit Bone, and broke through to late Foundation Establishment two months ago.

Lin Shuishui’s Root Bone also advanced to Middle Grade, now she too was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
