Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess Chapter 178: 178: Grandpa Xia's Breakthrough (2)

Xia Lianyu's breakthrough is still ongoing. Grandpa Hialun had stayed by his side the whole ti under the protection of Taiyang and Elder Kun. As for Yue Xuexia, she is resting in the guest room, protected by Shen Jueyang. He saw his Xue'er frowning in her sleep, obviously worrying about her grandfather; sadly, her body couldn't cope with the lack of qi from overusing it.

For a Yin physique possessor, especially one that is connected to the moon, the sun's energy is their greatest weakness. Likewise, the moon's energy is also the nesis of the sun's energy. Only when the energy in him was balanced would things be under control.

Shen Jueyang, seeing the deep frown on the sleeping Yue Xuexia's face, made him worried. Knowing that she is distressed because of her grandfather's state, he had once again chosen to help a mortal for her sake.

Shen Jueyang mumbles, "Would she worry less if there is at least one person in the family stronger than she is?"

He peered at the scene in the back mountain using his god eyes and saw the mortal who was undergoing a breakthrough. The sun energy in that sun stone was enough for this man to break through to the Late Golden Core Stage or even enter the threshold for the Yuanying (Nascent Soul) Stage. But Nascent Soul is not the peak of power in this small world.

The strongest cultivator he senses in this world is at Peak Soul Transformation Stage. There is one in the mortal realm, and the other is in the cultivation realm. Of course, these two are far too weak compared to him and never cared about their existence.

Shen Jueyang muttered again, "Should I help this one reach soul transformation?" He looked at Yue Xuexia, who had her eyes closed with a frown on her face. She seems to want to force herself to wake up.

Sigh~

The system that used to be detached from anything in the mortal realm is willing to open his inventory for a mortal. Usually he would only give materialistic things that can be bought with money in the mortal realm, but after allowing Yue Xuexia to enter the world of cultivation just to extend her life, Shen Jueyang's bottom line got shallower when Yue Xuexia was involved.

"I will help your family just this ti," mumbled Shen Jueyang, and he took out a precious bloodline of a fire dragon god in his inventory and flicked it towards the forehead of Xia Lianyu.

Huh?

Taiyang noticed the drop of blood that appeared out of nowhere and entered the body of Xia Lianyu. He knew that it was from his main body. He didn't react as much until he finally recognized what kind of blood that main body had given to this mortal.

The mont the blood of the fire dragon in Xia Lianyu had awakened, all fire and yang elents in the vicinity had been sucked by him. The one who is the most affected is the weak Elder Kun. He felt sothing in him was being sucked out.

"Shit! Leave the back mountain!" shouted Taiyang at Elder Kun as he was pushed away with a barrier that prevented him from getting affected by the bloodline in Xia Lianyu's body.

ROAR~

A fire dragon silhouette cos out of Xia Lianyu's body, roaring at him. Taiyang couldn't believe what he was seeing. He never knew that the drop of blood that was given to this mortal was none other than the fire dragon blood essence. This is a mythical creature that can only be found in the immortal realm. He kept Grandma Hialun under his protection even when his lips were twitching in disbelief.

"Haha~ my main body has gone insane! How can he give a mortal a dragon's blood with the king's lineage!?" Taiyang said in disbelief.

Grandma Hialun said, "Dragon? That is really a dragon I am seeing."

"Don't worry, this is just a materialization of his new bloodline. This is sothing that was given to him by soone from the side of Xue'er. It wouldn't harm him; instead, it would make him stronger. Just watch; your dao companion will be alright," said Taiyang.

"But this crazy, he gave your husband a dragon bloodline; that is a bloodline considered rare even in the cultivation realm."

"Will he be in danger, Xiao Yang?" asked Grandma Hialun with worry imprinted on her face.

Taiyang shook his head and said, "No. He will be undefeatable against people of the sa realm. He might beco the strongest in this world with it."

anwhile, at the front yard, Tan Bingyu was jolted awake by the weird presence that shocked her from her ditation. When she opened her eyes, he saw her teacher, Elder Kun, looking at the direction of the back mountain where that majestic aura is coming from.

Tan Bingyu asked, "Grandpa Kun, what is happening?"

"The Great Elder of our sect is breaking through to another stage, but we are unable to watch closely. Stay here and continue your training," replied Elder Kun.

Tan Bingyu asked, "Where is the mistress?"

"Don't worry about Xiao Xue. She helped her grandfather remove the impurities in his ridians and overexert herself. She is now resting in the mansion," said Elder Kun. "Don't worry about her. Lord Taiyang said there is soone else watching over her."

"How about Grandma Hialun?" asked Tan Bingyu.

Elder Kun said, "Lord Taiyang is protecting her. Brother Xia awakens a Dragon Bloodline, and all Yang elents in the back mountain are being sucked by him. That's why I left."

Tan Bingyu was shocked when she heard that Great Elder Xia had awakened a dragon bloodline, which was only heard in the legend. Even the strangest creature in the cultivation realm is only a flood dragon, while real dragons only appeared in books.

"How did he get the dragon bloodline?" asked Tan Bingyu.

Elder Kun responded as he himself looked bewildered. "How would I know? I only saw sothing flying and entering his forehead, then he suddenly awakened a dragon bloodline. Soone must be helping him. It's not Lord Taiyang, however, it must be soone he knows as he didn't stop that thing that entered the Great Elder's body."

While the two of them were having a conversation, they noticed the darkening clouds gathering at the back of the mountain. They imdiately recognized these clouds; these are tribulation clouds, which would be called upon when a cultivator successfully crossed the threshold and gave them a trial to reach another level. It's just that they wouldn't have expected that Xia Lianyu would not only break through from the innateness stage to the golden core (Jindan) stage but even further.

At the back mountain...

Taiyang and Grandma Hialun witnessed the scene of Grandpa Xia breaking through a higher level continuously. Sounds akin to an explosion were emitted from the body of Xia Lianyu.

"He successfully broke through to Jindan! (Golden Core Stage), but the surge of his aura is not stopping yet," said Taiyang.

"Early Golden Core Stage."

"Mid Golden Core Stage."

"Peak Golden Core Stage."

"Late Golden Core Stage."

"Yuanying! (Nascent Soul Stage). This is bad. The location might not be able to bear the tribulation clouds if his cultivation continues to rise. I will erect a barrier around this place," said Taiyang as he created a huge and powerful barrier that isolates the back mountain from the other areas in the place. Xia Lianyu continued to break through.

This barrier prevents mortals from noticing what was happening on the mountain, but it can still be felt by the other cultivators in the area. As expected, the commotion caused by Xia Lianyu's breakthrough had finally reached the ears of the other cultivators in the vicinity.

Among these people were familiar faces like Long Huangdi and his son, Long Juedi. Cultivator Ling Wen, who is one of the guardians of this realm, had also arrived.

The two elders of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall, Elder Xiao and Elder Yun, together with their disciple, Lin Chiyu, had also co over the mont they felt the overwhelming qi of the tribulation clouds gathering at this point. Even Tan Bingyu's grandfather and father, Tan Huangyu and Tan Shenyu, had arrived on the mountain. Most of them had so friendship with Grandpa Xia.

Elder Kun, upon seeing a lot of familiar faces, welcod them in and opened the formation for them to enter the peak of the mountain.

"Daoist Friends, Welco! Co inside, and I will open a path for you through the formation!" shouted Elder Kun as a path was especially made to allow these guests to see the ancient mansion at the peak of the mountain.

Those who didn't know that there is an ancient mansion at the peak of this private mountain were stunned, like Long Juedi, Lin Wen, and other younger generations compared to the old n, like Long Huangdi and Tan Huangyu.

Amazed. Long Juedi said, "This is amazing. I didn't see anything from the outside."

"This must be a high-grade defensive formation," cultivator Lin Wen comnted.

Tan Bingyu approached her grandfather and father and greeted them.

"Grandfather! Father!"

Tan Shenyu asks, "Bing'er, you are here. That ans the mistress is also around."

"Yes, Father. She is resting after helping Senior Xia remove the impurities in his ridians. She is inside the mansion," answered Tan Bingyu.

Tan Huangyu said, "Since she is resting, don't bother her. It's not easy to cleanse the ridian of soone a lot stronger than you are. Especially for us old n who live for several hundreds of years."

"It's not like we will be allowed to see her," said Long Huangdi.

He gestured for them to look at the only opened window with a familiar handso man looking down from upstairs. It was Shen Jueyang, who personally showed himself to give them a warning not to enter the mansion.

Upon eting that pair of inhuman crimson-gold eyes staring at them, most of them fell cold, crawling on their spines. They collectively saluted the man and only lowered their hands when they saw Shen Jueyang return inside the room.

Tan Huangyu comnted, "He is ethereal as always."

"Hm? How co he looks so much like my master?" mumbled Tan Shenyu. The master he is talking about was Taiyang, who helped him not only cleanse his body with Phoenix Nirvana flas but also taught him cultivation techniques.

Long Huangdi said, "They are different people with the sa origin. I wonder if we can co to the back mountain."

{You can now. You have to protect yourself in case sothing occurs.}

This is Shen Jueyang talking to them through his divine sense. He already felt that the dragon blood was fully refined and there was no more danger of them being sucked out.

"Thank you, Senior!"

After being granted permission, they all headed to the back mountain and saw the scene of the whole area devastated with craters and burns. The sound of rumbling can be heard above their heads and even though they were already standing outside the range of the heavenly tribulation, they still couldn't help but look up at the dark clouds above Xia Lianyu.
