Chapter 31

When Ye Tianming returned, Mu Guanchen had already left.

Ye Tianming held a bowl and looked at the small tower in front of him, asking curiously, "Tower Ancestor, what did the teacher talk to you about?"

The small tower smiled, "We just chatted casually."

Ye Tianming nodded and didn't ask any more.

The small tower said, "Why don't you continue asking? I believe you must be very curious."

Ye Tianming replied seriously, "I know that Tower Ancestor has no ill intentions towards me, and that's enough. As for the rest, I believe that when it's time to tell me, Tower Ancestor will naturally tell me. In any case, I trust Tower Ancestor unconditionally. If Tower Ancestor doesn't say, I won't ask."

The small tower was clearly very happy, "Good, good, you're much better than the last two guys. I like you. I'll tell you, the last two guys were scoundrels, always thinking of how to trick me. You are much more honest."

The last two guys... Could it be that Tower Ancestor had followed others before?

Ye Tianming was a bit curious in his heart, but he didn't ask any more. After finishing his meal and tidying up, he went to the back mountain and continued his cultivation.

He was now eager to master the power of the earth's veins. He really couldn't wait to enhance his strength. Only with sufficient strength could he control his own destiny.

He stood on the ground, eyes slightly closed, and the cultivation technique began to circulate.

Unlike the beginning, he had already adapted to the power of the earth's veins. Around him, the power of the earth's veins surged, and he felt an endless force beneath the earth, truly boundless.

But the only regret was that his physical body could not withstand much of the power of the earth's veins. Cultivating the physical body was extremely expensive, and he was now most lacking in money, so he couldn't cultivate his physical body.

No money, no way!

Ye Tianming suddenly opened his eyes, "Tower Ancestor, I have an idea."

The small tower was curious, "What idea?"

Ye Tianming looked down at the ground, "My body has limits and cannot withstand too much of the power of the earth's veins. But what if I don't use my body?"

The small tower was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ye Tianming said solemnly, "I mean, I originally used my body as a container to hold these powers of the earth's veins, but the body has limits... If I don't use my body, I can use the entire earth as my body. In battle, I can directly mobilize the power of the earth's veins, making them erupt like a volcano without passing through my body..."

The small tower: "..."

Ye Tianming said excitedly, "I can try it."

The small tower suddenly said, "Have you thought about the fact that even if you succeed, you will be at the core of the volcanic eruption? Can you survive?"

Ye Tianming frowned, "That's... Tower Ancestor, do you have any good suggestions?"

The small tower smiled, "Then I'll give you a hint. Your cultivation technique is special and can absorb the power of the earth. Since it can absorb, it can also..."

"I understand."

Ye Tianming suddenly said excitedly, "If it can absorb, it can also mobilize."

The small tower laughed, "Smart."

Ye Tianming was extremely excited. He circulated his cultivation technique, and his right hand slowly lifted. Instantly, the power of the earth's veins beneath his feet began to surge, and the earth began to tremble.

Indeed, it could be mobilized.

Ye Tianming suppressed his excitement, and his right hand slowly lifted. Deep in the earth, countless powers of the earth's veins continuously surged out, and pale golden light like a rain curtain surrounded him.

His face began to turn pale, and he also felt some tension because he sensed the powerful force contained in the power of the earth's veins, which was very dangerous. But his mind was very clear; the more critical the moment, the more he needed to remain calm and composed, for a single mistake could result in him being counterattacked by the power of the earth.

He took a deep breath and pointed at a distant mountain with his fingers.

Instantly, countless golden lights shot out towards the distant mountain and exploded on it.

Boom...

The mountain was directly shattered and flattened, and countless dust rose into the sky, enveloping the distant horizon. At the same time, the earth cracked into deep, bottomless ravines, like a giant spider web.

But Ye Tianming didn't see this scene because he fell into a coma after pointing.

He and Tower Ancestor had overlooked one point: although the power of the earth's veins didn't pass through his body, controlling the power of the earth's veins required mental strength, and his current mental strength couldn't withstand mobilizing so much power of the earth's veins.

When Mu Guanchen arrived and saw the flattened mountain in the distance, he was somewhat surprised. He looked down at Ye Tianming, who was lying on the ground with a pale face, and said softly, "This kid..."

He then picked up Ye Tianming and walked away.

Inside the hall.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming lying on the bed, "Did he flatten the mountain in the back?"

Mu Guanchen, who was writing something at the desk, nodded, "Yes."

Song Shi's expression was complex, "A monster."

Mu Guanchen smiled, "I was also quite surprised. I didn't expect him to use that method to utilize the power of the earth's veins."

Song Shi shook his head, "Too reckless."

"Not reckless!"

Mu Guanchen said, "He needs to have an adventurous spirit."

Song Shi looked at Mu Guanchen, "Like you?"

Mu Guanchen smiled but didn't speak.

Song Shi shook his head, "You two are both freaks."

Mu Guanchen asked, "Has there been any movement from the Xiao family and the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy recently?"

Song Shi replied, "No."

Mu Guanchen frowned.

Song Shi's expression was quite serious.

The lack of movement was abnormal because the Xiao family and the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy would certainly not let Ye Tianming off. For forces of that level, they understood the concept of cutting off the root to prevent future troubles.

Mu Guanchen suddenly said, "You need to take care of the Ye family."

Song Shi replied, "Nanling Zhao's friend is taking care of it."

Mu Guanchen shook his head, "No, Nanling Zhao's friend, though not simple in identity, won't confront the Xiao family and the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy for the sake of the Ye family. Therefore, you need to help take care of them."

Song Shi turned to look at the still unconscious Ye Tianming and said, "I will ask a few old friends to secretly take care of the Ye family."

Mu Guanchen suddenly coughed.

Song Shi looked at him, somewhat worried, "Is everything okay?"

Mu Guanchen smiled, "Nothing serious..."

He then looked at the lying Ye Tianming, "The biggest problem for this kid now is the lack of practical combat experience. If he can go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion's cultivation tower to practice, it will definitely be very helpful for him."

Song Shi said, "I will find a way. Not all Immortal Treasure Pavilions will give the Xiao family face."

Mu Guanchen nodded, "Good."

Song Shi said, "I will go to the Ye family in person to check. The Xiao family has no morals now and can do anything."

"Dean."

At this moment, Ye Tianming, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming, who quickly got up but almost fell down again due to his weakness. Song Shi slightly raised his hand, and a gentle force supported him.

Ye Tianming quickly took out a scroll from his chest and handed it to Song Shi, "Dean, please give this to my elder brother and let him and Ye Zong cultivate it first."

Song Shi glanced at the scroll, "Your cultivation technique?"

Ye Tianming nodded.

Previously, he didn't share the cultivation technique with Ye Nan and Ye Zong because he had just created it and wasn't confident enough to let his elder brother and Ye Zong cultivate it. But now the technique was complete and could be cultivated.

He only let Ye Nan and Ye Zong cultivate it first because if the entire Ye clan cultivated it, it might bring catastrophic disasters, so it had to be done gradually.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming, "Your cultivation technique is not simple. Are you really willing to share it with your elder brother and the others?"

Ye Tianming shook his head, "It's just an external object."

Not to mention a cultivation technique, even a realm-ignoring divine weapon was not as important as his clan members in his heart.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming, his expression somewhat complex. With his discernment, he could naturally tell whether the young man in front of him was telling the truth or not.

He put away the scroll and turned to leave.

Mu Guanchen looked at Ye Tianming and smiled, "You are still very weak, lie down and rest."

Ye Tianming lay down and looked at the busy Mu Guanchen, somewhat curious, "Teacher, I see you write every day. What are you writing?"

Mu Guanchen smiled, "A law."

Ye Tianming was a bit puzzled.

Mu Guanchen didn't say more and continued writing.

Ye Tianming lay on the bed, his eyes slowly closing.

The small tower suddenly said, "Your elder brother's dantian is already shattered. Your cultivation technique might not be useful for him."

Ye Tianming said softly, "Tower Ancestor, do you know why I tried to mobilize the power of the earth's veins without using my body?"

The small tower was puzzled, "Why..."

At this point, it suddenly realized something and said somewhat complexly, "Because you can cultivate without using the dantian..."

...
