Chapter 6

Because Sun Ang's speed was too fast, Sun Yuan-yang only reacted at this moment. He roared in a fit of rage, "You little brat, you're courting death!"

His power erupted, and a momentum as imposing as a ten-thousand-foot stone mountain fiercely charged at Sun Ang.

At the same time, a bright spiritual light shone behind him, and a martial aura enveloped ten zhang! Threads of light conveyed primordial energy, pouring into Sun Yuan-yang's body. His martial aura was a flame golden cicada the size of a small mountain, its long tongue continuously rolling around, emitting spiritual flames that increased Sun Yuan-yang's power by thirty percent.

Sun Ang was now completely incapable of facing such an opponent. Just by relying on momentum, Sun Yuan-yang could kill him.

However, Sun Yuan-hai was still standing on the side!

How could this doting father tolerate his child being bullied?

He took a step forward, blocking Sun Ang. If Sun Yuan-yang's momentum was a ten-thousand-foot stone mountain, then Sun Yuan-hai's momentum was a ten-thousand-foot iron mountain.

The two collided fiercely, and Sun Yuan-yang's momentum was instantly shattered.

Sun Yuan-hai roared, pressing down on the black iron long box with both hands, restraining his impulse to draw his sword.

But his martial aura had already burst forth with primordial spiritual light, enveloping thirty zhang! In the rolling golden light, a large seal slowly rose, with obscure divine inscriptions faintly appearing on its bottom, yet indistinct.

But as soon as this unique martial aura appeared, it suppressed everything, even making Sun Yuan-yang's golden cicada martial aura bow down, unwilling to compete.

From the black iron long box under Sun Yuan-hai's hands, a series of metallic sounds came. The Night Song Sword was already in harmony with the golden seal martial aura. Once the martial aura appeared, the Night Song Sword also sang in response.

Sun Yuan-hai was at the high stage of the Life Spirit Realm, while Sun Yuan-yang was at the middle stage. Although the gap between their levels was not large, Sun Yuan-hai's martial aura was extraordinary, firmly suppressing Sun Yuan-yang.

Sun Yuan-yang's face was grim, filled with anger, but he was stopped by the clan leader, Sun Yuan-shan, who whispered, "It's not the time to turn against each other yet!"

Sun Yuan-yang glared fiercely at Sun Ang, then retracted his primordial breath, and his martial aura slowly faded.

He ordered, "Carry the young master back."

Several servants hurriedly carried the heavily injured and unconscious Sun Jie back for treatment.

Sun Yuan-shan and others looked deeply at Sun Ang. When Sun Ang had acted, his use of martial techniques had almost reached a natural and effortless level. With just the basic Eighteen Loose Hands, he had easily defeated Sun Jie, who used the Five Thunder Palm!

Moreover, his realm was clearly already at the Five Pulse Power, but according to Sun Sheng's intelligence from yesterday, he was still at the initial stage of Four Pulse Power. Could he have improved so much in just one day?

Sun Yuan-shan didn't believe it; Sun Ang must have been concealing his realm.

"Hmph!" Sun Yuan-shan snorted coldly, "Third brother, you and your son are quite cunning! But don't be too smug."

He then glared fiercely at Sun Ang, "Especially you, little brat. What good is Five Pulse Power? Both Sun Ke and my Ji'er far surpass you. In the future, you'd better be careful!"

With that, he swept his sleeves and left.

Sun Ang shook his head inwardly. Family members, yet they quarreled over power and profit to this extent, with no warmth at all. What was there to linger for in this family?

Sun Yuan-hai also gradually extinguished his martial aura, patting his son's shoulder, "Let's go in."

The brothers' conflict left him in a bad mood, but the fault wasn't his. Even if he wanted to mend their relationship, would he let the family be destroyed?

Only Sun Yue was excited, hugging Sun Ang's arm, "Big brother, you're amazing! Today was so satisfying!"

Sun Ang smiled, ruffling his younger brother's head, "You should also practice martial arts well. Then no one will dare to bully you."

"Okay!" Sun Yue was full of confidence. Sun Yuan-hai, looking at his younger son, thought of his congenitally weak constitution, and his expression darkened.

The battle at the entrance shocked the entire family.

Those who had previously treated Sun Ang as a waste, who had paid lip service to him or even openly defied his orders, now all fell silent, serving him carefully.

Many of his siblings and cousins no longer dared to bully Sun Yue.

Sun Ang stayed at home for a few days, practicing martial techniques during the day and cultivating martial arts at night.

However, the city was too crowded, with chaotic energy, and Sun Ang found that the cultivation effect was not as good as in the estate.

After a few days, his primordial energy vortex had reached a diameter of four zhang, but because the primordial energy in the city was much thinner, the cultivation speed was actually slower than in the estate.

Sun Ang thought for a moment and went to see his father to share his thoughts.

"Are you going back to the ancestral land?" Sun Yuan-hai frowned, "Don't forget, you injured Sun Sheng and Sun Jie, and now you have a grudge with your uncles. Sun Ji will definitely be waiting to take revenge in the ancestral land. He is at the Six Pulse Power!"

Sun Ang was calm, "If he doesn't let me off, I have no intention of letting him off either. We can settle all the past grievances this time.

Let this be a test for me. If I can't even defeat a small fry like Sun Ji, what am I talking about conquering the seven realms?"

Moreover, in less than a month, it would be the annual exam in the ancestral land. He certainly didn't want to be expelled, so he had to pass this exam.

When Sun Yuan-hai heard Sun Ang say "conquering the seven realms," a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he nodded, "Good, with this ambition, I will fully support you!"

Sun Ang felt warmth in his heart. In this world, no matter who heard a five-pulse-power boy from the border say he wanted to "conquer the seven realms," they would probably sneer. Only his parents would unconditionally support him, firmly believing that he would one day rise like a dragon in the dark sea.

...

The next day, Sun Ang, carrying the bag his father had prepared for him, set off on his horse.

The bag on his back was light, but Sun Ang felt it was incredibly heavy.

Inside the bag were twenty jade coins and three bottles of Qi-nourishing pills.

Jade coins were the currency in the martial world, containing abundant primordial energy, which could be used directly for cultivation. Martial artists used jade coins to settle transactions.

If converted, one jade coin was worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Over the years, to treat Sun Yue, Sun Yuan-hai had almost spent all his wealth. Among the entire Anhui Sun family, Sun Yuan-hai was the poorest.

These twenty jade coins were almost all his father's savings!

And the three bottles of Qi-nourishing pills, though Sun Yuan-hai didn't say it, Uncle Guan privately told him that his father had gone to the city's Treasure Tripod Tower at night, lowering his face to borrow them on credit.

All of this was to help his son break through to the Six Pulse Power as soon as possible, so he wouldn't be bullied by Sun Ji after returning to the ancestral land.

The horse galloped, and the wind blew. Sun Ang rubbed his eyes. Hmm, I'm not crying, it must just be the wind.

He didn't go directly back to the ancestral land. Sun Ji was at the Six Pulse Power and was a famous genius in the Anhui Sun family, not a waste like Sun Sheng or Sun Jie.

During his half-year in the ancestral land, he was highly regarded and might have secretly received instruction in some high-level martial techniques.

If it were Sun Sheng or Sun Jie, even with Six Pulse Power, Sun Ang was confident he could defeat them with his understanding of martial techniques and his ability to seize opportunities.

But facing Sun Ji required careful handling.

At a crossroads, he turned in another direction.

After traveling for dozens of miles, he entered the Soul Suppressing Mountain.

This continuous mountain range now gave Sun Ang a familiar feeling. As soon as he entered the mountains, he felt like a dragon returning to the sea.

He found a cave, sealed the entrance with a large rock, and prepared to enter seclusion.

The primordial energy in the Soul Suppressing Mountain was very abundant, making cultivation much more efficient. Moreover, his primordial energy vortex was particularly effective here, capturing the energy bubbles at an extremely fast speed.

Unfortunately, he didn't encounter any auspicious cloud-shaped energy bubbles this time, so he could only cultivate step by step.

After seven days, he finally broke through to the Six Pulse Power realm through his relentless efforts.

When he emerged from seclusion, Sun Ang was so hungry that his eyes turned green. He searched the mountains for game and eventually caught three wild rabbits and a leopard, which he roasted and ate.

These were just ordinary animals, not fierce beasts, so their blood and qi were only average.

Sun Ang ate all the game in one go. His body was now so powerful that he could eat and digest simultaneously.

After eating, although his body was no longer hungry, the psychological "hunger" became even more intense.

The Immortal Emperor Heart Demon floated in his consciousness, with black demonic hearts covered in black dragon veins. The strange dual-color Taiji diagram slowly rotated, and one of the seven sins and eight sufferings was triggered...

His horse was tied nearby, having survived on mountain grass for seven days but now looking much thinner.

Sun Ang mounted the horse and slowly rode toward the ancestral land.

There were still half a month before the annual exam, so Sun Ang had plenty of time. On the way, he continuously consolidated his realm and pondered the various martial techniques he had mastered.

Four days later, the Sun family ancestral land was in sight.

The ancestral land was the holy place of the Sun family in Weiyuan County, located at the foot of Hulao Mountain in the northwest of Weiyuan County. The Sun family had risen from here, branching out and gradually developing into one of the top five great families in Weiyuan County.

Even the main branch of the Sun family had moved into the county city, but they did not abandon the ancestral land. Led by the main branch, they built a vast estate and selected the best mentors to teach the young disciples.

Every year, outstanding children from the branches were sent to the ancestral land for cultivation, and those who eventually became true martial disciples would become important figures in the future.

The mountain gate of the ancestral land was in sight, with two tall watchtowers standing on either side.

The ancestral land was managed like a military camp, built according to the standards of the Qianming Dynasty's military camps. Several disciples were on guard on the watchtowers. Seeing Sun Ang from a distance, they stirred slightly, and one disciple quickly ran down to report.

A cold smile appeared on Sun Ang's lips. Sun Ji had quite a few lackeys, and they were probably reporting back now.

He wasn't in a hurry to enter. He let the horse walk slowly, giving Sun Ji enough time.
