The Opportunity of Breakthrough!

After returning home, it was inevitable for Mu Qingyuan to reprimand Mu Yang. However, when he heard that Mu Yang had defeated Lin Li, Mu Qingyuan's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

Lin Li, the outstanding figure of the Lin family, had long reached the Seventh Stage Foundation Building Realm. Mu Yang, with his strength at the peak of the Sixth Stage Foundation Building Realm, defeating him was indeed a pleasant surprise. However, Mu Yang's injuries would probably take five or six days to heal.

At night, the stars were twinkling.

"If he could break through to the Seventh Stage Foundation Building Realm at home, Yang'er might be able to achieve a good ranking in the top ten."

In the room, Mu Qingyuan suddenly muttered to himself.

"Well, don't think too much. Get some good rest." At this moment, Yun Yan brought a basin of hot water and gently said, "Soak your feet, and get ready to sleep."

Mu Qingyuan nodded, just about to speak when he started coughing continuously.

"Why is it getting worse?"

Seeing this situation, Yun Yan hurriedly walked to Mu Qingyuan's side, repeatedly patting his back. Looking at his pale face, a hint of distress couldn't help but flash in her heart.

Back in the day, this man, as the number one among the younger generation in Ancient Forest Town, was an extremely powerful existence even in the entire Great Wildness County. However, three years ago, for some unknown reason, his strength began to decline. Even the dantian inside his body was disappearing at a slow pace!

Yes, his dantian was gradually disappearing!

According to the words of a famous doctor, if one day Mu Qingyuan's dantian completely disappeared, then his time of death would not be far away!

"It's okay; I can still live for a few more years!"

Mu Qingyuan forced a smile, but deep despair flashed in his eyes.

The entire empire's renowned doctors couldn't find a way to cure him. What hope could he have?

Seeing this, Yun Yan suddenly hugged Mu Qingyuan tightly and softly said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side."

Hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan laughed heartily, "Don't worry; I won't die until these two kids grow up!"

Although he said it with a smile, there was an undisguised worry in his tone.

He was truly afraid that he would die before his son and daughter grew up. He was also afraid of what would happen to his wife, his beloved wife Yun Yan, without him.

"Yan'er..." Suddenly, Mu Qingyuan spoke.

"Hmm?" Yun Yan raised her head.

It had been a long time since Mu Qingyuan had called her "Yan'er."

"If one day I'm really gone," when Mu Qingyuan got to this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "you should..."

Before he could finish saying the words "remarry," Yun Yan slapped him hard!

No mercy, no hesitation!

Splash!

Yun Yan burst into tears instantly. It was the first time she had lost control, shouting, "What are you saying? Even if you die, I won't do that! When two kids grow up, I will meet you down there!"

In an instant, tears covered Mu Qingyuan's eyes too.

Having her as his wife in this lifetime, what else could he wish for?

At this moment, Mu Yang happened to be outside their door.

Hearing their conversation, Mu Yang's mood also unconsciously became heavier.

Although he couldn't claim to be well-traveled, he had seen various medical cases. At least in China, he hadn't heard of a cultivator's dantian voluntarily disappearing.

If there were advanced instruments around, he could definitely find out what disease Mu Qingyuan was suffering from.

With determination in his heart, Mu Yang raised his head, took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the distance.

"Is your injury okay, big brother?"

After walking for a while, a surprised voice came from behind.

Mu Yang turned around, and the graceful figure of Mu Xue entered his sight. At this moment, she wore a purple dress, revealing almost all of her smooth thighs. Her long hair was untamed, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky.

So beautiful!

Feeling Mu Yang's scrutinizing gaze, Mu Xue immediately covered her body and exclaimed, "Mu Yang, what are you looking at, pervert!"

"Bang!"

Another punch landed mercilessly on Mu Yang's face. Mu Yang covered his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. While his sister was indeed beautiful and treated him very well, her habit of hitting people without warning made Mu Yang anxious. If this continued, wouldn't he be beaten into an idiot sooner or later?

Watching him still holding his face, Mu Xue chuckled, "Lin Li injured you so severely, and you recovered in just half a day. Do you really think you can fool me like this?"

"Hehe." Mu Yang smiled and immediately embraced Mu Xue, saying, "My sister really knows me well."

Mu Xue's delicate body trembled suddenly. Just a moment ago, she was lively and active, but now, being held by Mu Yang, she dared not move at all. If it weren't dark, it would definitely be noticed that Mu Xue's face was blushing. However, from the slightly unstable breathing of the latter, Mu Yang also felt something unusual. Quickly letting go and changing the subject, he said, "Alright, it's getting late. Go back to your room and rest early."

Mu Xue nodded, then left like a little rabbit.

After watching her go, Mu Yang turned around slowly and breathed out lightly. At this moment, he still had many people to protect. They were all important to him. He couldn't let anything happen to them!

Walking a few steps to his room, Mu Yang immediately entered a state of cultivation. Inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, when the spiritual energy flowed into his chest, a sudden intense pain occurred.

With a muffled groan, Mu Yang stopped cultivating directly. Opening his eyes, he was full of confusion and muttered, "Why is this happening? Wasn't my injury completely healed?"

Mu Yang wasn't sure, so he closed his eyes again and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When the spiritual energy flowed into his chest, the pain came again. However, this time, Mu Yang did not give up and endured the pain to attract the influx of spiritual energy.

There seemed to be a barrier in his chest, preventing the flow of spiritual energy. Moreover, it seemed to require an even more massive influx of spiritual energy to break through it! And Mu Yang had a feeling that if he could successfully break through this barrier, his own strength would definitely advance to the Seventh Stage Foundation Building Realm! This was an opportunity for a breakthrough!

"Indeed, only through a life-and-death battle can strength be rapidly increased." Mu Yang sighed.

The overnight impact of spiritual energy was not in vain; the barrier loosened a bit. However, there was still a considerable gap to break through.

Dawn arrived.

Mu Yang stepped out of the room and headed straight for the Magic Beast Forest. From yesterday's battle, Mu Yang had realized the formidable power of martial skills. Lin Li, who was originally on par with him, used only a second-grade martial skill, and the attack intensity multiplied several times.

If the grade of martial skills was higher, it could compensate for the strength difference between realms! However, Mu Yang didn't have money to buy martial skills.

After some contemplation, Mu Yang targeted some spiritual herbs in the Magic Beast Forest. Although their grade was not high, their value would be considerable if the quantity was large enough!

With this thought in mind, Mu Yang's running speed increased again.
