After Ling Yun had absorbed the rest of Mo Hongling’s devil qi, he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief; he then turned to his ladies. “Since a week has passed, I want you all to leave this place and take care of other things.”

“But-”

Ling Yun directly interrupted Yi Mingxia. “Mom, you don’t need to worry about me; Ling Xi is accompanying me here. If anything were to happen to me, she would definitely be able to help me. Moreover, I feel that something is off about me, and I don’t know what will happen when I break through later, so I want all of you to leave this place to avoid unwanted things.”

“Mom, you and the others leave this place; Sister Bing and I will accompany Yun’er here.” Ling Ling also persuaded Yi Mingxia.

Xiao Xiao then joins in to persuade her. “Sister Mingxia, if Yun’er feels that way, it would be best if you followed his words. Just in case, I will also be staying here with Ling’er and Lian Bing, so you don’t need to worry about him.”

“Hey! I will also stay here to wait for Ling Yun to break through.” Lei Lin also spoke to her.

Yi Mingxia looked at her son for a while before she nodded in agreement. “Very well then, I and the others will be leaving this place right now, but you must be careful when you break through, okay?”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me, and I will see you again soon.” Ling Yun replied as he hugged Yi Mingxia and kissed her lips briefly, and they immediately left the place after he opened the exit portal.

After they all left, Ling Yun sat cross-legged on the floor, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly to calm himself down.

“I’ll start now.” Ling Yun then closed his eyes and released his qi, and he concentrated on having a breakthrough in his cultivation.

On the other hand, Ling Xi, Ling Ling, Lian Bing, Lei Lin, and Xiao Xiao kept looking at Ling Yun worriedly, especially since forming a core wasn’t easy.

“Sister Xi, what exactly is Yun’er feeling? Why does he look so anxious?” Ling Lin asked as she clasped her hands tightly.

Xiao Xiao and Lian Bing also looked at her questioningly, especially since they didn’t know about the seal on Ling Yun’s bloodline and others.

Unlike them, Lei Lin still looked relaxed; she was sure that Ling Yun would not encounter any major obstacles to breaking through, only that he might need quite a long time to complete his breakthrough.

Ling Xi’s eyes remained focused on Ling Yun as she answered them. “As you all know, he has the nine elements and some other things in his body, so his breakthrough this time won’t be easy. But you guys don’t need to worry; I’m sure nothing will happen to him.”

Lian Bing and Xiao Xiao nodded in understanding. Cultivators generally only had one to two elements and three elements at most. However, Ling Yun was an anomaly as he was the only cultivator with the nine elements.

They suddenly raised their eyebrows as they sensed the change in Ling Yun and saw nine colored qi begin to envelop his body, and they gradually became bright.

Snow white represents the Ice element, clear blue represents the Water element, bright red represents the Fire element, green represents the Wind element, yellow represents the Earth element, golden represents the Lightning element, pure white represents the Light element, Pitch black represents the Dark element, and silver represents the Space element.

Upon seeing that, Xiao Xiao sighed heavily. “Fortunately, he has this Yin-Yang chamber, so he can break through without interference. Otherwise, if he were to break through in the cultivator realm, he would cause an uproar in that place, and those powerful cultivators would not remain silent.”

“I agree with that.” Lian Bing nodded as she kept her eyes on Ling Yun. “Those powerful cultivators would definitely try to thwart his breakthrough, or they might just kill him outright.”

Ling Ling actually giggled hearing them. “Even if they intend to do that, they certainly won’t be able to do it with Sister Xi by Yun’er’s side.”

“If they dare do such a thing to Ling Yun, I will not hesitate to flood the cultivator realm with those cultivators’ blood.” Ling Xi spoke so decisively that even her killing intent leaked out subconsciously, causing the three women to shudder. She certainly wouldn’t allow anyone to interfere with his breakthrough, let alone kill him. ．

‘Sigh, she’s too scary!’ After sensing Ling Xi’s killing intent, the three women muttered in their hearts, especially since she had always been casual and had never shown anyone her seriousness.

As for Lei Lin, she was no longer surprised by Ling Xi’s attitude, especially since Ling Yun was the only man who wasn’t affected by her oddity. ‘Big Sis has really fallen for him! She even said such things for his sake!’ “Anyway, we can only wait for him now.”

“Yes.” The other women nodded in agreement with her.

Their House

After leaving the Yin-Yang Chamber, the women immediately went about their business.

Zhao Yao, Liu Qiyue, Duan Wu, and Yi Mingzhu went to Ling Yun’s company to check on the two companies’ merger process progress.

Ling Yin goes to check on her novel’s sales progress; Shui Lan accompanies Ye Jing to see her mother, and Song Mei chooses to rest in her room.

As for Su Fei and Feng Xing, they immediately returned to the Feng Clan to inform Feng Ruxue of Ling Yun’s progress.

On the other hand, Long Qiu brought his two disciples to the back garden, and she started training them again.

Only Helena, Kate, Yun Mingyue, and Yi Mingxia were left in the living room.

Suddenly, they heard the doorbell ring, and Yi Mingxia immediately opened the door, but she was surprised to see the woman in front of her. “Why did you come here, Sophie?”

“Is Ling Yun back yet?” Sophie asked her back.

Yi Mingxia shook her head at her. “Unfortunately, Yun’er hasn’t returned yet, and I can’t confirm when he will return. Do you have any important business with my son?”

Sophie immediately answered her. “Michael wanted to see Ling Yun, so he ordered me to wait here.”

“Michael?” Yi Mingxia was surprised to hear that.

Sophie nodded and explained to her. “Michael got information that the demons were plotting something against humans, so he wanted to meet with Ling Yun, and he hoped that he could become a link between us angels and humans.”

“I see.” Yi Mingxia nodded in understanding. “In that case, you can wait here first; Yun’er will probably take a while before returning.”

“All right.” Sophie followed Yi Mingxia into the house, surprised to see Helena and Yun Mingyue. ‘I didn’t expect female demons by his side to increase again, but Michael might be right that Ling Yun is the only person who can stabilize the three realms.’

Yin-Yang Chamber

“Hmm?” Ling Xi raised her eyebrows upon sensing the changes in Ling Yun, and she said to the four women. “He will soon form his core.”

“Yes.” They agree with her.

Moments later, a sizeable qi sphere appeared in front of Ling Yun, and a shockwave was released from his body, indicating that he had successfully broken through to the Core Realm.

Soon, the qi sphere entered Ling Yun’s body, but he didn’t show any sign of stopping yet, mainly since the nine-colored qi that enveloped his body still had not dissipated.

“What’s going on, Sister Qi? How come his nine qi hasn’t disappeared yet?” Ling Ling asked with a confused look. Usually, when the qi core enters a cultivator’s body, the qi surrounding his or her body will immediately dissipate.

“Don’t tell me that Yun’er is going to form another qi core? Isn’t that simply absurd?” Xiao Xiao asked as she turned towards Ling Xi; she herself had two elements but only one core.

Lian Bing also turned to her. “Is he really going to form his second core?”

Ling Xi sighed and answered them. “If my hunch is correct, he will form his second core, but that is unusual and difficult to do.”

“Hey, Big Sis! I think you’re wrong about that.” Lei Lin then pointed at Ling Yun. “Look at that; I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

“What?” They were shocked after seeing the nine qi separate from each other and slowly began to shrink one by one, and they began to form a rudimentary sphere.

“He’s truly absurd!” Xiao Xiao was shocked to see that.

Lian Bing was speechless upon seeing that. If his nine qi really became qi sphere, it would mean that Ling Yun would have ten qi cores.

Ling Ling also didn’t say anything and kept looking at Ling Yun worriedly; she even clasped her hand tighter.

‘What exactly happened to him? How did his nine qi form their own core?’ Ling Xi wondered in her heart.

Even so, they couldn’t do anything for now and could only wait for Ling Yun to finish to know the result.
