Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 594 - 594: Gained without any effort

The threshold of regional power, the key to dealing with demons, and the capital to compete against other forces. Knowing just these three effects, Hou Yuxiao had been wondering where he could get these seal fragments.

He never imagined that these foolish siblings would bring them to him.

This was truly a case of finding something effortlessly after a tiresome

In any organization, as it rises, the cohesion and loyalty among its members surge. The fervor in these soldiers' eyes was the best illustration of this.

Hou Yuxiao did not stay in Baiye Camp any longer, sealed the inner cores of the Jiang siblings, instructed Hou Yucheng to keep a close watch on them, and returned to Tongling with Hou Yuduan.

Having returned to Tongling, he began his seclusion and significantly advanced his cultivation, not only solving the troubles of the Jiang siblings, but also, with the cultivation of a Grandmaster, he preconceived the realm of a Half-step Great Power—his path of cultivation became instantly clear.

...

In the secret chamber of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The True Yuan in the Heavenly Gate Acupoint between his eyebrows flowed incessantly but occupied only half of the space in the Divine Acupoint. Looking at the other half that was still empty, Hou Yuxiao sighed slightly—the time was still too short.

To break through to the Yuan Dan Realm, one must first condense the True Yuan in the Heavenly Gate Acupoint into Essence, then have the Essence nourish the Dantian, followed by condensing the Yuan, and finally fusing Essence and Yuan at the Fengchi Acupoint behind the head, culminating in the final Divine Origin, what people call the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the creation of an inner core of Martial Arts.

This process is complicated to describe and even harder to execute.

First, refining the Three Flowers, requiring a vast amount of energy, is extremely time-consuming. Even with an abundance of miraculous medicines, completing this stage can take decades or even centuries—individuals with lesser aptitudes might never achieve it in their lifetime.

After forming the inner core of Martial Arts through the Three Flowers Gathering, nurturing the inner core to comprehend Divine Skills is yet another protractedly lengthy process, even longer than the first stage.

And these are just the stages of inner core and Divine Skills. To completely merge the Three Flowers of Spirit, Essence, and Origin into the Three Realms of Yuan Dan of Great Perfection requires even more time and greater talents.

Martial Path demands innate talent. Grandmasters like Ding Dian, Ding Buhai, or Peng Yuhu from the fourth and fifth realms whom Hou Yuxiao had met, were already over two or even three hundred years old, and their paths were essentially at an end. Hoping for a breakthrough into the Yuan Dan Realm, unless there is a great opportunity, is almost hopeless.

The Yuan Dan Realm experts he had encountered previously were essentially the outstanding figures in Holy Lands, such as Lian Ningxue from the Haoran Holy Sect, Zhang Yuning from Great Yu, Yuan Fa from the Great Snow Mountain Buddha Sect, Yuan Kong from the Leiyin Temple, and Moxuzi, who had already advanced to the Qianyang Realm. But the age of these individuals, generally three to four hundred years old, already showed how time-consuming the Yuan Dan Three Realms was.

"I don't have that much time. The World is already in great chaos, not to mention the far places; on the left, the Rakshasa Holy Church Headquarters, on the right, the great battle of Hedong. Once the outcomes of these two events unfold, the Hou clan, caught in the middle, must immediately decide. Even if by chance we survive this trial, the situation in Yong and Xu States will change. Both the overall power of the clan and my personal cultivation must be rapidly enhanced, otherwise, they won't be adequate to confront what's next!"

There's only one way to quickly enhance his power...

Hou Yuxiao let his mind descend into the Sea of Consciousness, quietly gazing at the bicolor Divine Lotus that had already lit up six petals, which calmed him slightly.

The swallowing ability of the third black petal of the Divine Lotus could greatly save him time in cultivating the Yuan Dan Realm, while the sixth white petal could substantially enhance his cultivation, temporarily coping with too powerful opponents.

However, both methods required a vast amount of virtuous deeds.

His current virtuous deeds were only less than a million, while his karmic obstacles were much more, totaling over seven million.

"At present, the only function that consumes karmic obstacles is the ability of the fifth black petal to conceal my aura. But I can't just irresponsibly drag the army into the wilderness. Besides, besides concealing aura, can it hide other things..."

While looking at the fifth black petal, Hou Yuxiao had this speculation. Since it involved concealing, it shouldn't be limited to just the aura. Perhaps it could conceal other things too. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He took note of it, deciding to try it out when he had time.

"Next, it's up to these two Seal Fragments!"

Hou Yuxiao took out two golden fragments from his bosom, his eyes sparkling. Suddenly reminded of something, he also took a palm-sized copper seal from his bosom, which was the First-Class Copper Seal issued by the Rakshasa Holy Church when the Hou Clan was promoted.

Feeling the faint connection between the family Copper Seal and the golden fragments, almost like fate, he unexpectedly placed the Copper Seal directly next to the two fragments.

As soon as he did, a sudden change occurred.

The Copper Seal suddenly emitted a golden light, not as clear as the fragments but one could feel that the golden light released by both objects was of the same origin. As the golden light from the Copper Seal grew brighter, the two golden fragments also seemed to start resonating with it, gradually brightening.

The fragments, astonishingly, began to merge with the Copper Seal.

Watching this scene, Hou Yuxiao's eyes gradually lit up.
