Chapter 90

When Yi Tian walked out of the underground space, he realized that he had spent a full year and three months in seclusion. This greatly surprised him. At the same time, he learned that the clan leader and the grand elder had both advanced to the Human Rank, and three other elders had also broken through. Now, the Yi Clan had five Human Rank powerhouses. If Yi Tian were included, that would make six.

Yi Tian returned home, which brought immense joy to his mother and Xiao Long, who had been worried about him. Xiao Hei, in particular, rushed over with great enthusiasm. Over the past year and three months, he had been waiting in agony, longing to absorb more Essence Crystals after absorbing a few from Yi Tian. Yi Tian then used an Essence Crystal to appease Xiao Hei.

While Yi Tian was reuniting with his family, the members of the Samsara Team heard the news and came over. The six members of the Samsara Team gathered, and Yi Tian inquired about their cultivation progress. Over the past year and three months, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and the others had not relaxed their cultivation. Each of them had reached the peak of the Ninth Rank and had refined the Heavenly Meridians and Acupoints related to their cultivation into Spirit Acupoints, numbering at least twenty to thirty thousand. However, they had not rushed to break through. Before Yi Tian went into seclusion, he had told them that only by transforming all the acupoints in their bodies into Spirit Acupoints could they reach higher levels in martial arts. Yi Tian was quite satisfied with their progress. After all, they had not been in seclusion and had many daily affairs to attend to, which slowed their progress. Without the help of Essence Crystals, the number of Spirit Acupoints they refined would have been much fewer.

Yi Tian was the first in the Samsara Team to break through to the Human Rank. After he emerged from seclusion, he shared his experience in refining acupoints and some secret acupoint locations with them. With a clear direction for their breakthrough, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, Yi Li, Yi Kuang, and Yi Hong entered the underground space together to begin their seclusion and breakthrough.

On this day, Yi Tian called Xiao Long and Xiao Ting to him. He looked at Xiao Long, who had grown into a young man, and Xiao Ting, who had become a graceful young lady. Though there was still a hint of childishness on their faces, their future appearances were already evident. Xiao Long had grown to be very handsome and sunny, clearly destined to be a handsome man. Xiao Ting, on the other hand, was elegant and refined, with a spiritual aura that drew people in, like a beautiful jade, pleasing to the eye. In comparison, Yi Tian's appearance was somewhat less impressive. He was not ugly or plain, at most he was fair, but he did not count as handsome.

"Brother, what do you need us for?" Xiao Ting asked Yi Tian in a playful manner. Xiao Long was also puzzled, wondering why his elder brother seemed more serious today, as if something had happened.

Yi Tian said, "You are both almost fourteen years old, and it's time to start cultivating. Our Yi Clan has the ancient Heavenly Art 'Shooting the Sun Heavenly Art' passed down from our ancestors, as well as the 'Great Sun Heavenly Art,' 'Manghuang Heavenly Art,' 'Tiger Roar Heavenly Art,' and 'Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Art.'"

He then explained the details of each Heavenly Art to Xiao Long and Xiao Ting. The 'Shooting the Sun Heavenly Art' could be cultivated alongside other Heavenly Arts without conflict, so Xiao Long and the others could cultivate the 'Shooting the Sun Heavenly Art' and choose one of the other three to cultivate simultaneously. Xiao Long and Xiao Ting were both surprised and delighted. This was the moment they had longed for, in a world where martial artists were everywhere, becoming stronger was the strongest desire in everyone's heart.

After some consideration, Xiao Long chose to cultivate the 'Tiger Roar Heavenly Art,' while Xiao Ting chose the 'Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Art.' Yi Tian greeted his mother and then took Xiao Long and Xiao Ting out of the tribe, choosing a secluded mountain to open a cave. After reaching the Human Rank, Yi Tian found it easy to open a cave. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had opened a cave several dozen feet deep. Inside the cave, Yi Tian taught Xiao Long and Xiao Ting the cultivation techniques.

The Star Mud avatar suddenly transformed, and in an instant, a divine statue appeared in the center of the cave. This divine statue was essentially identical to the ancestral divine statue in the tribe's underground space, but its appearance had been altered by Yi Tian to look different.

"Xiao Long, you go first. This is the circulation path and meridian map of the 'Tiger Roar Heavenly Art'!" Yi Tian immediately activated the divine statue, and the acupoints projected out, forming a series of brilliant lights. The human form was faintly visible, and the acupoints in the body could be clearly seen. A light continuously circulated through the acupoints, forming a pattern resembling a white tiger roaring to the sky. Xiao Long quickly fell into a state of deep understanding.

Even so, it took Xiao Long six days to fully understand the various cultivation essentials of the 'Tiger Roar Heavenly Art' and to cultivate a thread of the 'Tiger Roar Heavenly Art' true qi with Yi Tian's help. In the following days, Xiao Ting also comprehended the 'Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Art' and successfully cultivated it. This surprised Yi Tian. Xiao Long and Xiao Ting's comprehension and talent were clearly much stronger than his and the members of the Samsara Team. After all, they were not yet fourteen years old. Even with the help of the divine statue, it was remarkable that they could understand and successfully cultivate the Heavenly Art in just a few days. Their talent was unmatched in the tribe.

However, it took Xiao Long and Xiao Ting twelve days to comprehend the 'Shooting the Sun Heavenly Art.' After successfully cultivating both Heavenly Arts, Yi Tian gave them a large pile of Essence Stones to cultivate with. When Yi Tian brought Xiao Long and the others back, Xiao Long and Xiao Ting had already become First Rank martial artists. Over these dozens of days, to help Xiao Long and the others comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Arts, the Star Mud avatar maintained the state of the divine statue, consuming three Essence Crystals. Adding to the seventy-plus Essence Crystals Yi Tian consumed during his own breakthrough, he now had only 320 Essence Crystals left. However, 320 Essence Crystals were still a substantial amount. Soon, Yi Tian let the Star Mud avatar consume 100 Essence Crystals. The Star Mud avatar began to change from a blackish-red to black. Later, Yi Tian, with a determined heart, let the Star Mud avatar consume another 100 Essence Crystals, and the Star Mud finally transformed into black, emitting a brilliant black luster. During this period, Yi Tian also gave Xiao Hei 20 Essence Crystals. After consuming 20 Essence Crystals, Xiao Hei gradually transformed, growing larger, with fur like black silk, and unintentionally emitting a terrifying aura.

The tribe had recently undergone significant changes. Due to the clan leader, grand elder, and other elders breaking through to the Human Rank, one of the Human Rank elders personally went to the mine to oversee it. The Great Leader Yi Ke and Deputy Leader Yi Zhen were also preparing to break through, and other high-rank warriors were diligently cultivating. With a large supply of Essence Stones, their cultivation speed was very noticeable. It was expected that in the near future, the tribe would produce dozens of Human Rank powerhouses one after another.

Three months later, the five members of the Samsara Team, including Yi Feng and Yi Shan, successively broke through and emerged from seclusion, becoming Human Rank powerhouses. Soon after, the annual Ancestral Sacrifice arrived, and this year's Ancestral Sacrifice was particularly grand. For the Ancestral Sacrifice, several Human Rank elders personally entered the Fulong Mountains to hunt several intermediate-grade ferocious beasts as offerings, and the entire tribe was in a state of joy. The dawn of the Yi Clan's rise had appeared.

After the Ancestral Sacrifice, Yi Tian handed over the Cultivation Art he had deduced to the tribe, allowing every clan member to cultivate. This was a balanced and harmonious cultivation technique, most suitable for those who did not participate in battles, enhancing the cultivator's physique and extending their lifespan. Now, with several Human Rank powerhouses in the tribe, safety was not an issue. After breaking through to the Human Rank, Yi Tian and the others had a strong desire to explore the outside world.
