Yunyue Empire, Xingyu City, Wu Family Back Mountain, Viewing Pavilion.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was sitting alone on a stone bench, staring into the distance. His back was a little desolate, but his eyes were full of expectation.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow Xueyan will come back from Feiyun Sect. I don't know if she has suffered in the past two years."
The young man whispered to himself, but could not hide the joy in his heart.
The boy's name is Wu Yun, and he is the only son of Wu Tian, the head of the Wu family. Because of his status, he has attracted everyone's attention since he was born.
And he lived up to expectations. He was extremely talented and his cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary people. At the age of fourteen, he reached the seventh level of martial arts, overwhelming everyone and becoming the number one young genius in Xingyu City.
Three years ago, Wu Yun was the center of attention in Xingyu City, with a star halo.
In the same year, Xiao Long, the head of the Xiao family, who was also a big family in Xingyu City, came to the house in person, betrothed his daughter Xiao Xueyan to Wu Yun, and made a marriage contract for the two of them.
Wu Yun and Xiao Xueyan were childhood sweethearts, so both parties had no objections to this marriage.
After the relationship became clear, the relationship between Wu Yun and Xiao Xueyan heated up rapidly, almost to the point of becoming inseparable.
Six months later, Xiao Xueyan suddenly fell seriously ill and her Dantian was damaged. She urgently needed a new Dantian to replace it, otherwise her life would be in danger.
But at that time, no one was willing to give their Dantian to Xiao Xueyan.
Because Dantian is even more important than life to a cultivator.
Seeing this situation, Wu Yun decided to sacrifice his Dantian without hesitation, just to save the life of his first love, Xiao Xueyan.
Of course, this decision was opposed by everyone in the Wu family.
Everyone knows the importance of Dantian to practitioners, especially for a proud man like Wu Yun, it is a top priority.
Wu Yun's Dantian is quite special and is wider than most ordinary people's Dantian. This is one of the reasons why his cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.
If there is no Dantian, Wu Yun will completely fall from the altar, from a proud man of heaven to a useless person.
Despite this, Wu Yun ignored his family's objections and asked the Xiao family to dig out his pubic area and put it into Xiao Xueyan's belly without hesitation.
A month later, Xiao Xueyan's body completely recovered.
Although Wu Yun barely managed to save his life, without his Dantian, his cultivation level plummeted, and a month later, he was completely useless.
Half a year later, with the assistance of Wu Yun Dantian, Xiao Xueyan's cultivation improved rapidly. In just six months, she was directly promoted from the previous sixth level of martial arts to the seventh level.
Completely replaced Wu Yun and became the number one among the younger generation in Xingyu City.
A year later, Xiao Xueyan made another breakthrough and reached the eighth level of martial arts. Her popularity was unprecedented in Xingyu City, and her reputation even spread to some surrounding cities.
But Wu Yun, the proud son of heaven, was gradually forgotten by people.
Some people have even begun to ridicule Wu Yun for being too stupid, calling him a useless person.
In the year when Xiao Xueyan reached the eighth level of martial arts, Feiyun Sect, the largest sect in the Yunyue Empire and the holy land of cultivation that all Yunyue Empire cultivators longed for, sent an invitation, hoping that Xiao Xueyan could join the Feiyun Sect.
At this point, Xiao Xueyan has completely become a household name in Xingyu City. Even the monarch of the Yunyue Empire couldn't help but nod in praise when he heard her name.
At that time, the Wu family was so angry that even Wu Yun felt a little sad.
This should be his glory, all this should be his.
But he didn't regret it, because if he hadn't done this, Xiao Xueyan would have died. If he couldn't save Xueyan, that would be enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Wu Yun clearly remembered what Xiao Xueyan said to Wu Yun before leaving.
"Thank you, Brother Yun. Without you, I would never be where I am today. You gave me everything you have. I will be grateful to you all my life. When I come back from Feiyun Sect, I will marry you."
Thinking of this, Wu Yun's thoughts gradually came back from his memories.
"It's been a year, Xueyan, you are finally coming back. You will fulfill your promise and marry me, right? I miss you so much."
A happy smile appeared on Wu Yun's face, and then he began to sit cross-legged, running his family's skills, and tentatively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although he lost his Dantian, he never gave up. Although he failed time and time again, this was never a reason to defeat him.
As usual, after making the hand seals, the family's martial art, Wu Yuan Jue, slowly circulated. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gradually inhaled into his body, passing through the meridians throughout his body. After circulating for twenty-four days, it began to gather in the Dantian.
But his Dantian had been dug away long ago, and he could not condense his spiritual energy at all. Seeing that the spiritual energy he had finally gathered was dissipating little by little, Wu Yun was inevitably a little disappointed.
"It's over. Did you fail again?"
Wu Yun whispered to himself.
He slowly opened his eyes and was about to get up and leave the stone bench.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the clear sky.
There was a roar, and a thunderbolt flew through the sky.
Wu Yun looked up in shock, only to see that the sky that was cloudless just now was now filled with black clouds.
Streams of thunder streaked across the sky, and the thunder shook so hard that the ground trembled slightly.
The next moment, Wu Yun saw a flash of golden light in the void filled with black clouds. He felt his forehead heat up, as if he had been hit by something, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
After Wu Yun fell into coma, calm returned to the sky again, the black clouds dispersed, the thunder subsided, and everything returned to calm.
After a while, Wu Yun opened his eyes, and a completely unfamiliar world appeared in front of him.
It's dark here, as if shrouded in a thick layer of fog, boundless.
Looking into the distance, Wu Yun discovered that there seemed to be a lake a few hundred meters ahead.
Walking forward, Wu Yun was horrified to find that instead of a lake, this was actually a sea of spiritual energy.
It is vast, bottomless, and completely formed by the gathering of spiritual energy, like an endless ocean.
"This, this is actually a sea of spiritual energy?"
Wu Yun exclaimed, "Such a huge sea of spiritual energy, even tens of millions of cultivators who have been practicing here for hundreds of thousands of years may not be able to absorb it all."
What on earth is this place?
Am I dead?
Is this hell or heaven?
At this moment, at the end of the endless spiritual energy sea, bursts of golden light appeared, and not long after, a series of Zen sounds that sounded like the voice of the Buddha came slowly.
Magnificent and distant, every sound reached Wu Yun’s ears.
As if Wu Yun had experienced a baptism of fate, his mind suddenly began to buzz. These Buddhist sounds seemed to want to convey some message to him, but he could not understand it for the moment.
Under the baptism of the Buddha's sound, Wu Yun unconsciously sat down cross-legged and began to listen quietly to the true meaning hidden in the Buddha's sound.
Close your eyes and concentrate, and enjoy the baptism of Buddha's sound.
Looking inside, Wu Yun was surprised to find that a golden ball the size of an egg appeared in his originally empty Dantian.
The round bead was shining brightly, with mysterious brilliance flowing around it.
Suddenly, Wu Yun felt a heat in his abdomen, and the golden ball suddenly exerted force, and streams of majestic and vast spiritual energy surged out from it, directly spreading to the meridians around Wu Yun's body.
