A few moments later, Le Zan felt something again. He could clearly feel a small golden dot forming inside his body, slowly growing larger and larger.
At this moment, while enduring the pain, Ye Xiao's mind was filled with joy. He never imagined that he had actually awakened the golden core within his body.
Realizing this, Ye Xiao, enduring the pain throughout his body, immediately sat cross-legged to focus his thoughts. This method was well known to everyone. Simply by focusing his mind and closing his eyes, one could enter a state of cultivation, or a state of selflessness.
However, Ye Xiao was still unsure whether what he had experienced earlier was real or just an illusion.
A day passed unnoticed...
By the lakeside, with lush green grass growing freely.
Ye Xiao, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly began to tremble.
Whoosh...
At the same time, Ye Xiao's body suddenly emitted an aura that steadily increased.
Boom...
Ye Xiao's body suddenly gave a violent jolt as if a spiritual energy that had been pent up for a long time had found its destination.
Boom...
Boom...
Again and again, his body seemed to jolt, with a continuously increasing aura radiating out.
First stage of the Qi Refining Realm...
Second stage of the Qi Refining Realm...
Third stage of the Qi Refining Realm...
Fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm...
Yes, at this moment, Ye Xiao's body suddenly broke through his cultivation realms continuously, stopping at the early fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and the aura emanating from his body slowly began to stabilize.
And at this moment, Ye Xiao began to open his eyes.
"Hahaha, it worked... I did it... Not only has my golden core awakened, but my realm has also improved..." At this moment, Ye Xiao's mind was filled with pure joy. He tried to sense every energy in the meridians throughout his body, and he truly felt something very different within himself.
"Is this what it feels like to be a cultivator?" Ye Xiao muttered to himself, completely shocked by his current situation, even wondering if this was a dream or reality.
Slap...
Ahh....
Ye Xiao slapped himself, and the pain made him realize this wasn't a dream.
"I have to go back... Haha, I have to go back..." Ye Xiao got up excitedly and ran quickly, hoping to return to the Ye family residence. He believed that in his current state, the Ye family would definitely not treat him the same way they did before.
...
At the Ye Family Residence...
"Sirs, Young Master Xiao hasn't come home since yesterday. I'm worried about him." An old woman tried to complain with a worried expression to the head of the Ye family, who was none other than Ye Xiao and Ye Fan's father.
Usually, no matter what happened to Ye Xiao, he would always return to the Ye family residence, but this time was different, even though it had only been a day, but he heard the news that yesterday Ye Xiao was beaten very badly by his brother, if he had known about it yesterday, he would have immediately looked for Ye Xiao, but he heard the news today which made him feel very worried about Ye Xiao.
"He, just leave him alone, none of my business, just a failed child, what's the point?" Said the head of the Ye family, who was none other than Ye Xiao's own father, he didn't seem to care at all about Ye Xiao's situation.
Especially because currently all the Ye family members are busy with Ye Fan's affairs, in a few moments the envoy from the holy immortal sect will come to pick up Ye Fan because the holy immortal sect really appreciates Ye Fan's talent so that Ye Fan will be made one of the core disciples in the holy immortal sect, with circumstances like that, it is very clear that Ye Fan's future will definitely be very high in the future if no accidents happen.
The Sacred Immortal Sect was one of the four major sects in this Imperial region, in fact the Sacred Immortal Sect was considered the top sect among the other sects, therefore the Ye family was very happy with what was destined for Ye Fan and conversely Ye Xiao was not considered to exist at all.
Although Ye Fan's cultivation level is still relatively low, he possesses a unique golden core within his body. It is said that Ye Fan's golden core is a rare one, called the Sacred Golden Core. With this sacred golden core, Ye Fan will be able to break through to the unrivaled Heavenly Saint level. It is even rumored that Ye Fan's golden core is superior to that of the current Wang Empire's Holy Emperor Wang Yi. Even the Holy Emperor Wang Yi himself highly valued Ye Fan's talent upon learning of him.
"But sir... he..." The old woman was about to say more, but the Ye family head's expression turned angry and interrupted her.
"Enough, just go look for him. I don't care."
Hearing that, the old woman didn't dare say anything else and went to look for Ye Xiao alone.
...
Elsewhere...
At this moment, several figures flew through the air and then spotted a person lying in the distance.
"Eh... who is that?" said one of the first figures to notice.
"That... that outfit... could it be?" Seeing the clothing of a person lying in the distance, one of the flying figures thought the figure looked familiar. It wasn't because of the face, but because of the clothing worn by the person lying in the distance.
"Eh... you mean... could it be... come on, let's go take a look." At this moment, several of the flying figures came to their senses and immediately accelerated their flight to reach the collapsed cultivator.
And after a while...
Holy Emperor...
It really was the Holy Emperor...
After arriving at a certain distance, all the flying figures immediately saw the full appearance of the figure lying on the ground and recognized it as the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor was the leader of the entire empire and the most powerful figure in the entire empire. He was called the Holy Emperor because his cultivation realm had reached the Heavenly Saint realm, thus earning him the title of Holy Emperor.
This imperial territory is called the Wang Imperial State because in history the Wang Empire was first founded by a very powerful person with the surname Wang who was none other than the ancestor of the current Holy Emperor.
