Chapter 104: Cultivation Breakthrough Third Heaven of the Starsea Realm!
Ye Wushang’s foundation had always been terrifyingly deep, his strength nothing short of monstrous.
Throughout history, few had ever slain a King single-handedly.
Perhaps in the ancient era, such legends existed but those tales had long faded, and even in Tianluo Daozhou, records of that time were scarce.
Within his body, a Cave Heaven world more terrifying than most Kings began to surge with spiritual energy.
No one knew how long he had been cultivating.
But within the time-warped fortress, after countless days and nights of relentless effort, a thunderous boom echoed from within his body.
In an instant, Ye Wushang’s cultivation broke through, racing to the Ninth Heaven of the Cave Realm.
Each breakthrough elevated his strength exponentially.
If he faced those four Kings again, he was confident he could protect Ye Tianhuang without even using the Fate Eye.
This surge in power gave him immense confidence.
But for Ye Wushang, the Cave Realm was no longer enough.
He began charging toward the peak of the Cave Realm.
The fortress spun endlessly, drawing in vast spiritual energy.
Years flowed like water.
Ye Wushang continued his breakthrough, unaware that outside, his legend was once again shaking Tianluo Daozhou.
He had become a storm across the land.
Back when he was in the Manifestation Realm, he had slain a Marquis-level powerhouse earning a Marquis title from the Celestial Pavilion.
Now, in the Cave Realm, he stunned the world again.
He had repelled two Kings alone, rescued Su Xiaoxiao, and forced those Kings to retreat.
That alone was enough to shock the continent.
But soon after, the Celestial Pavilion released another report:
Ye Wushang had fought a King from the Sikong Clan while holding his son in one arm and wielding a blade with the other.
He killed the King in three strikes.
The news shook the heavens.
Had it not come from the Celestial Pavilion, no one would have believed it.
But their reputation made disbelief impossible.
Ye Wushang became the center of awe and discussion.
Even the two Kings he had previously repelled felt a sense of relief—grateful they hadn’t pursued him.
A saying spread across Tianluo Daozhou:
“A King may ignore a Marquis but not Ye Wushang.”
A blade-cultivation craze swept the land.
Countless cultivators and children, inspired by Ye Wushang’s might, began training with blades.
This became the standard image of young blade cultivators.
Many called it the “Ye Wushang Era.”
At first, people thought it would fade.
But years later, they would look back and realize.
It was only the beginning.
While Ye Wushang remained in seclusion, the annual coming-of-age ceremony arrived.
Ye Zilan, now of age, wore violet robes and radiated elegance.
His appearance was a perfect blend of Ye Wushang and Yue Rushuang, perhaps even surpassing his father.
Tall, refined, and scholarly, he exuded the aura of a peerless noble.
Many maids and branch family members secretly admired him.
If not for strict family rules and Yue Rushuang’s constant inspections some might’ve risked punishment to sneak into his chambers.
But Ye Zilan had preserved his purity.
Ye Wushang had once told him:
“In early cultivation, preserving your essence strengthens your foundation.”
Ye Zilan believed him completely.
Raised among stunning beauties, his standards were high; ordinary women didn’t interest him.
Ye Wushang didn’t attend the ceremony, still in seclusion.
Ye Zilan felt a twinge of regret, but no resentment.
He knew his father was cultivating for the family’s sake not out of favoritism.
Ye Wushang treated all his children equally.
Though perfect fairness was impossible, his love was unquestionable.
Yue Rushuang, Zhao Qingge, and other consorts attended the ceremony.
Even younger siblings came to watch.
Ye Zhixin proudly patted his shoulder.
“Little brother, I believe your talent surpasses mine. After this ceremony, you’ll soon outpace me!”
Ye Zhixin had reached the peak of the Dao Foundation Realm in just one year—proof of her prodigious talent.
She had even suppressed her breakthrough to refine her foundation. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Ye Zilan smiled calmly.
“Don’t worry, sister. As eldest siblings, we must set an example. I won’t be disappointed.”
“My little brother, I believe in you. Make Father proud!”
Even Ye Zilan, mature as he was, clenched his fists at those words.
After a full day, he perfectly absorbed the transformation elixir.
His figure grew taller, his features sharper.
Most striking were his eyes now radiant and piercing.
Zhao Qingge and others were stunned.
“Another heartbreaker is born…”
Ye Zilan didn’t disappoint.
With the dual talents of the Xuanhuang Sacred Body and Heaven-Gazing Divine Eye, his cultivation was effortless.
In just one year, he caught up to Ye Zhixin—and even surpassed her in combat.
No matter how hard she trained, the gap only widened.
Eventually, she gave up trying to compete.
Ye Zilan’s rise amazed the Ye Clan.
Elders rejoiced, declaring the clan’s future secure.
Meanwhile, in the Daxia Imperial Capital.
Summer Zixuan gave birth to a daughter.
She had long wished for a girl and now her wish was fulfilled.
This daughter showed remarkable potential no less than Ye Tianhuang.
Though she lacked Ye Wushang’s ability to see through people, Summer Zixuan’s instincts told her.
This child was extraordinary.
Ye Wushang heard the system’s notification but ignored it.
One year had passed outside.
Ten years had passed within the time fortress.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the Cave Realm.
He was now attempting the Starsea Realm.
In the Starsea Realm, the Cave Heaven and Dantian merge into a vast sea of stars.
Each speck of dust becomes a star, each star, a world.
More stars meant more power.
Larger stars meant greater might.
This was Ye Wushang’s sixth year of attempting the breakthrough.
With the aid of the Life-and-Death Threshold, his comprehension deepened.
A thunderous shock erupted within him.
His Cave Heaven shattered—its fragments drifting into his Purple Palace.
Spiritual energy surged, transforming the fragments into miniature stars—each containing a world.
Though not as refined as true Cave Heavens, their sheer number made up for it.
The fortress trembled.
Spiritual energy poured into him.
The Starsea expanded endlessly.
Ye Wushang broke through to the Third Heaven of the Starsea Realm.
His foundation was terrifying.
His cultivation stabilized.
At that moment, a celestial phenomenon erupted above the Ye Clan.
Yue Rushuang awoke from cultivation.
From the seclusion chamber, a massive nine-tailed fox phantom rose into the sky.
Its tails swayed—each movement threatening to destroy entire worlds.
The power and spectacle left her speechless.
She remembered Ye Wushang’s instructions—and waved her hand.
The phenomenon vanished instantly.
Few in the Ye Clan even noticed.
In the forbidden zone, Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.
She smiled at her cultivation.
After consuming the Phantom Fox’s blood, she had awakened her fourth tail—unlocking the full Nine-Tailed Fox legacy.
With a century of accumulation, she had reached the Sixth Heaven of the Starsea Realm.
And that was with suppressed breakthroughs.
Just as she emerged, another terrifying aura descended.
Even Su Xiaoxiao, newly advanced, felt a tremor.
She stared ahead, stunned.
She knew Ye Wushang was powerful.
But even now after reaching the Starsea Realm he still suppressed her.
Though she was three levels higher, she had no confidence in defeating him.
She remembered how he had rescued her how he had forced two Kings to retreat.
