The Yang family.
In Long Country, there are many families with the surname Yang.
However, in the secular world, the Yang family of Longxi is the strongest. The Yang family of Longxi is known as the pinnacle among the cultivation families in the secular world.
Three days ago.
Boom!
On this day, the sky was clear and vast, but an incredibly terrifying aura and divine power suddenly erupted within the Yang family.
It was as if a Flood Dragon had suddenly appeared, stirring up the winds and clouds of the Yang family.
"What's going on?"
"Why has such a terrifying aura erupted in our family? Did someone infiltrate our family? Is it an enemy of our Yang family? We're finished, it's all over!"
"When did our Yang family offend such a terrifying existence? How can we withstand this?"
Not only were the thousands of family members of the Yang family in a panic, but even the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Kaitai, was awakened from his seclusion.
"Father, the fluctuation came from Ping Tian's residence. It's very likely that Ping Tian's cultivation has broken through to the Xiantian realm!" Yang Junhan appeared beside Yang Kaitai, his face filled with surprise and joy as he spoke.
"Ping Tian has broken through to the Xiantian realm?" Yang Kaitai's face revealed a look of surprise and joy: "Let's go and take a look!"
Whoosh!
Yang Kaitai and Yang Junhan, father and son, flashed and appeared outside a courtyard.
This courtyard was where the terrifying aura had erupted earlier.
"Grandfather, Father, come in!" a voice sounded from inside.
Soon, Yang Kaitai and Yang Junhan entered the courtyard. What met their eyes was a middle-aged man in white, with a refined and elegant demeanor. He was sitting in the living room, his aura appearing very peaceful, like an ordinary person.
However, the father and son looked at this refined, elegant man in white with anticipation. Especially Yang Kaitai, who looked at Yang Ping Tian with anticipation, his voice trembling as he asked, "Ping Tian, have you broken through?"
"Yes, Grandfather. After half a year of seclusion, I have successfully broken through to the Xiantian realm!" Yang Ping Tian nodded: "Grandfather, Father, come in and have some tea!"
Although he often went into seclusion, the boiled water in the room was always changed by someone.
After all, he wasn't in a state of not eating or drinking during these six months of seclusion.
"Really broke through to Xiantian?" Even with psychological preparation, both Yang Kaitai and Yang Junhan could not hide their excitement.
Reaching the Xiantian realm, one's lifespan could reach two hundred years!
And Yang Ping Tian was just shy of forty years old this year. Even if placed in the Spiritual Realm, he might not be a top-tier prodigy, but he would definitely be a second-tier prodigy.
Crossing the Xiantian realm was not easy, they said. The Yang family had a legacy of over a thousand years, and only one cultivator had ever reached the Xiantian realm. That person was the first generation cultivator of the Yang family.
Since then, the Yang family had never produced another Xiantian realm cultivator.
Without the Xiantian realm, even those in the Zunwu realm had a lifespan of only one hundred and twenty to thirty years. With good care and some longevity-boosting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it was difficult to extend it to one hundred and fifty years. Reaching the Xiantian realm, and living normally without severe injuries or death, one could live for over two hundred years.
This was because entering the Xiantian realm at the beginning granted a lifespan of two hundred years, and as cultivation improved, lifespan would continue to extend.
At the peak of the Xiantian realm, lifespan could even reach three hundred years.
Just then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, figures arrived in Yang Ping Tian's courtyard.
These people were all high-ranking members of the Yang family, or top-tier geniuses.
"Third Brother, you've broken through?" Among these people, one was older than Yang Ping Tian. He looked at Yang Ping Tian with expectation. This was the current head of the Yang family, and Yang Ping Tian's elder brother, Yang Ping Yu.
In fact, in the Yang family, the one most qualified to be the head was not Yang Ping Yu, but Yang Ping Tian. This was because Yang Ping Tian had been exceptionally gifted since childhood. Whether it was strength or talent, he was an outstanding figure in the Yang family.
However, due to certain reasons, he had no desire for power in the Yang family and did not want to be the head. Therefore, Yang Ping Yu became the head.
"Your third brother has broken through to the Xiantian realm!" Yang Junhan said to everyone with a smile.
"Really broke through to the Xiantian realm."
"Our Yang family has a Xiantian realm cultivator?"
"Is this true? It's too unbelievable! With the new year approaching, our family has produced a Xiantian realm cultivator. This is such exhilarating news!"
"Indeed!"
"As expected of my most admired Third Uncle. He broke through to the Xiantian realm at just forty years old!" In the crowd, there was a tall and very young figure. He was also the most talented prodigy among the younger generation of the Yang family, Yang Qingyun. He was a mirror image of Yang Ping Tian, though his talent was still slightly inferior to Yang Ping Tian's.
He had just broken through to the Tianwu realm at the age of twenty-four this year. Yang Ping Tian had broken through to the Xiantian realm at twenty-two. In eighteen years, from the early stage of Tianwu realm to the Xiantian realm, it seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it was not long at all, because cultivation itself became more difficult as one progressed.
Even with his good talent, his family members believed that it would take him until around the age of forty-five to break through to the Xiantian realm!
Everyone was extremely stirred by Yang Ping Tian's breakthrough to the Xiantian realm.
"Ping Yu!" Just then, Yang Kaitai spoke.
"Grandfather." Yang Ping Yu, the head of the Yang family, called out.
"Give yourself two days. Two days later, hold a celebration for your third brother's breakthrough to the Xiantian realm," Yang Kaitai said solemnly. "In any case, this celebration must be grand and magnificent, showcasing our Yang family's prestige!"
"Yes!" Yang Ping Yu respectfully replied: "Don't worry, Grandfather. Your grandson will definitely make this celebration a grand success."
"By the way, a few days ago, the Xiao family spread rumors that their young lady from the younger generation, when participating in the first test, was detected to have the Moon Spirit Physique, one in a million?" Yang Kaitai raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Grandfather. That young lady is named Xiao Jingwen. She has the Moon Spirit Physique. Her physique is slightly inferior to your third brother's Sun Physique, but it is comparable to Qingyun's Solar Physique. If the two of them were to combine and practice our family's dual cultivation method, their cultivation might be twice as effective. And their descendants might be born with the Yin-Yang Physique. Even if they cannot give birth to a top-tier Yin-Yang Physique, they might give birth to an extremely extraordinary physique – the Sun-Moon Physique!" Yang Ping Yu nodded, his eyes filled with longing. But then his tone shifted: "I heard about the Xiao family's young lady having the Moon Spirit Physique. I actually went to propose earlier, but they said their daughter already has a boyfriend and refused me."
"Hmph, that's just an excuse!" Yang Kaitai snorted coldly. "If she really has a boyfriend, then that's fine. Wait for two days, at your third brother's celebration, and let us see what kind of boyfriend your Xiao family's eldest daughter has found!"
For large families, their children were meant for alliances.
Firstly, it was for strong alliances, and secondly, it was to produce good offspring.
The Sun Physique and the Moon Spirit Physique were both extraordinary constitutions, and their combination brought many benefits!
"Before, it was because Third Brother had not broken through to the Xiantian realm! Now that Third Brother has broken through to the Xiantian realm, the Xiao family has been completely surpassed by our family. If they are sensible, they will definitely marry their daughter to our family!" Yang Ping Yu said with a smile.
"Mm." Yang Kaitai nodded.
Before, the Yang family was stronger than the Xiao family, but not by much. Their Yang family had two cultivators in the Zunwu realm, and the Xiao family also had two. The Yang family was stronger in having more cultivators in the Ba Wu realm, with six, while the Xiao family only had four. But now, although their Yang family had lost one strong cultivator in the Zunwu realm, they had gained one in the Xiantian realm. The gap had widened considerably!
