Chapter 0005: I Will Protect This Home

Mom, I understand. I will focus on studying and not think about other things, because everything is with you. Tang Xiu gently embraced his mother and said in a crisp voice, "You must take care of your health too, otherwise I will be distracted"

Overbearing, truly too overbearing! It turns out that this "Ten Thousand Source Void Universe Ascension Technique" from the ancient era of the spiritless celestial realm actually harnesses the power of the sun, moon, and stars for its own use. I originally did not possess the qualifications for cultivation, but fortunately, in a state of paralysis from spitting blood and fainting, I practiced the "Ten Thousand Source Void Universe Ascension Technique" in an unconscious state, barely meeting the conditions for this technique, which allowed me to obtain the qualifications for cultivation. Otherwise, relying solely on my consciousness after waking and my frail body, I would still be unable to cultivate this miraculous technique!

"You little rascal, I'm your only mother, how could I not be willing to spend money on you!" After staring at her son seriously for a moment and realizing that he truly had no intention of blaming or complaining, Su Lingyun instinctively let out a sigh of relief

I am truly fortunate

Mother, it’s fine, if they hit me, then so be it. It’s better to not have such relatives; otherwise, we will always suffer their bullying for no reason. Seeing my mother’s guilty expression, Tang Xiu had to pull himself together and comfort her with a smile

After vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood at my uncle's house, I felt completely relaxed, and my mind became much clearer. The knowledge points that were previously vague now seem to have all come together. Mom, I have a feeling that I can reclaim my position as the top student in my grade. " Tang Xiu said excitedly in the tense gaze of Su Lingyun.

What Su Lingyun did not know was that Tang Xiu had not gone far. Upon reaching the corner of the teaching building and confirming that his mother could not see him, Tang Xiu quickly slipped away and hid in the corner, secretly observing his mother.

It has only one fatal flaw, which is that the cultivator must possess a sufficiently strong physique to support the abundant and boundless cosmic power drawn from the starry sky

However, the smile on Tang Xiu's face quickly froze, and he fell into silence.

"Xiu'er, did you have a nightmare?" Tang Xiu's scream startled Su Lingyun awake. Seeing Tang Xiu drenched in sweat, Su Lingyun's heart leaped to her throat.

Mother, for the past seventeen years, you have been protecting this family; now it is my turn to safeguard this home!" As he watched his mother’s figure grow more distant until it finally vanished into the crowd, Tang Xiu silently recited in his heart

During his time in the celestial realm, Tang Xiu, as the grandson of the sect leader, possessed countless techniques and combat skills from the Zhuque Sacred Sect, and he had also purchased and exchanged an innumerable amount of legacies and secret manuals from external disciples.

After confirming that his mother had walked far away, Tang Xiu could not help but take a deep breath, letting out another cry of pain, yet his face was filled with a smile.

Although Tang Xiu believes that his mother could not possibly harm him, he is nonetheless concerned that she may be exploited by malicious individuals or that her peaceful life may be disrupted as a result

After much difficulty returning to Earth, I certainly do not wish to meet a tragic end. The reason I wanted to cultivate the Ten Thousand Source Void Universe Ascension Technique while in the Immortal Realm was that it was a chaotic world filled with violence, where one must possess sufficiently powerful cultivation to ensure survival. On Earth, however, the emphasis is on law and peace, and there is no need to possess an excessively high level of martial prowess

With a single sentence, Tang Xiu turned and left, leaving Su Lingyun with reddened eyes.

After confirming that Tang Xiu had no health issues, Su Lingyun assisted Tang Xiu in completing the discharge procedure.

Therefore, the hidden ailment within Tang Xiu was not cured without treatment, but rather Tang Xiu managed to regulate it himself. As for his academic performance, after the restoration of his soul, Tang Xiu naturally regained his original wisdom. Moreover, he possessed the knowledge and celestial techniques accumulated over ten thousand years in the celestial realm. If he still could not achieve the top rank in his grade under such circumstances, then his ten thousand years of existence in the celestial realm would have been in vain

The founder of the Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique repeatedly emphasizes that in order to cultivate the first layer of the Starry Dominance Body of the Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique, one must prepare sufficient rare herbs, rare minerals, as well as the internal organs, essence blood, and tendons of ferocious beasts for body tempering

The countless years spent in the celestial realm have endowed Tang Xiu with a remarkable ability to control his emotions. The scene of being simultaneously betrayed and hurt by his beloved confidante and wise friend in the final moments of the celestial realm left Tang Xiu feeling despondent. Otherwise, had he suddenly returned to Earth, he would undoubtedly have wept inconsolably in his mother's embrace

Since there is no need for excessively high combat power on Earth, and practicing the Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique carries risks, I can completely cultivate other martial arts and secret techniques. Putting down the heavy burden I have carried in the Immortal Realm for nearly a hundred years, Tang Xiu feels completely at ease.

In fact, Tang Xiu's words cannot be considered as deceiving his mother; they can only be regarded as a benevolent concealment

When casting the Burning Origin Technique, Tang Xiu originally intended to give Su Shangwen a painful lesson. However, at the moment of action, Tang Xiu suddenly realized that this was the peaceful and prosperous Earth, no longer the decisive and ruthless Immortal Realm. Su Shangwen was merely a relative he disliked, not a mortal enemy. Therefore, he retracted much of his power and instead used all of it to clear the stagnant blood from his body

After tidying up briefly at home, Tang Xiu had no choice but to head to school under his mother's urging

When Tang Xiu saw the tears at the corners of his mother's eyes, along with the look of contentment on her face, his nose tinged with a sourness, and two streams of hot tears uncontrollably flowed out.

Although Tang Xiu of the Immortal Realm had not seen his mother for ten thousand years, he had experienced countless reincarnations with her during his heart tribulation. In almost every reincarnation, Su Lingyun was Tang Xiu's mother, and Tang Xiu was the only son of Su Lingyun

On one hand, the terrifying outcome of continuing to cultivate the Wanyuan Universe's Tongtian Jue could lead to a catastrophic explosion of the body; on the other hand, the painful memories of his close friends and confidantes in the immortal realm joining forces against him for this divine skill are too overwhelming.

Mom, I can handle it myself. You go rest on the side. Tang Xiufei quickly pulled up his pants and at the same time snatched the hot towel from his mother's hand, blushing as he spoke.

After becoming one of the few supreme beings in the immortal realm, Tang Xiu almost swept through the entire array of techniques and combat skills available in the immortal world, resulting in an overwhelming number of techniques and combat skills for him to choose from

While Su Lingyun assisted Tang Xiu in wiping his body, Tang Xiu was still deep in thought about which cultivation techniques and combat skills he should practice, and he did not feel that there was anything inappropriate about it

"Xiu'er, I am sorry. Mother should not have slapped your uncle during the day. Although it felt satisfying at the time, it could very well lead to you being expelled from Xingcheng No. 1 High School." While Tang Xiu was lost in worry, Su Lingyun had already brought in a basin of hot water. Seeing Tang Xiu's troubled expression, she thought he was concerned about school.

After his soul returned to completeness, Tang Xiu discovered multiple areas of bruising within his body while examining himself. He knew that these were the hidden ailments left by the car accident

"The little rascal is suddenly so sentimental, it's quite unusual." As she felt the tremendous change in her son, Su Lingyun couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction rising within her.

The Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique imposes extremely high requirements on the physical strength of practitioners. If the physical strength does not meet the standards, even if the cultivation speed of the Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique is exceptionally fast, the final outcome will only be an excessive absorption of stellar energy, leading to a fatal explosion of the body

"You little rascal, I have seen every part of you since you were born," Su Lingyun teased with a smile, but she did not insist on helping Tang Xiu wipe his body. Instead, she turned around to tidy up the items in the hospital room. "Xiu'er, the doctor said that your body is fine, and even the hidden ailment from a year ago has healed on its own. How do you feel?"

The pain he just experienced left an indelible impression on Tang Xiu, a suffering comparable to the unparalleled heart tribulation encountered when ascending to godhood in the celestial realm—the Primordial Demon Tribulation. Tang Xiu no longer wished to endure such pain again

Golden Goose Technique, Blue Fire Skill, Ice Heart Technique

Mom, there's no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps I can continue to stay at Xingcheng No. 1 High School. If I really can't stay at Xingcheng No. 1 High School, I believe No. 7 High School would be willing to accept me, right? It all depends on whether you are willing to continue spending money on me.

In the millennia of the celestial realm, the mother is the only concern of Tang Xiu, and also his greatest inner demon. No matter how hard Tang Xiu tries, he cannot sever this attachment.

Tang Xiu naturally understood what his mother was concerned about, so he spoke entirely in accordance with her thoughts

While others are troubled by the lack of cultivation methods and combat skills to practice, Tang Xiu is instead worried about which cultivation method and combat skill he should choose to cultivate.

The intense pain rendered Tang Xiu nearly unconscious. After a considerable amount of time and effort, he gradually regained his composure. Observing his mother's anxious and concerned expression, Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment before gently nodding in tacit agreement with her assumption.

However ... ...

Including Su Lingyun, no one can imagine how profound the feelings are between Tang Xiu and Su Lingyun

You child, you can't even sleep properly, sweating so much and smelling so bad. I will go get some hot water to wipe your body. Su Lingyun gazed at her son for a moment, then smiled and got up to leave

It was only when Tang Xiu felt his pants being pulled down and a sudden chill in the crotch area that he fully regained his senses

"Xiu'er, your uncle is after all family, and I believe he wouldn't be so ruthless. If you really can't stay at Xincheng No. 1 High School, I will find a way to get you into Xincheng No. 2 High School. If that doesn't work, there's always Xincheng No. 7 High School," Su Lingyun said softly, reluctantly helping Tang Xiu adjust his collar before stepping through the school gate.

After a brief moment of surprise, Tang Xiu gradually calmed down and decisively abandoned the idea of continuing to cultivate the Wanyuan Void Universe Ascension Technique

Regarding matters of the celestial realm, Tang Xiu did not wish to disclose anything to anyone, for a common man may be innocent, yet possessing a precious gem can lead to his downfall. Tang Xiu did not want to place himself in danger.

Feeling the faint star power within his body, along with the weak yet remarkably clear vitality, Tang Xiu could not help but feel delighted

Parting for ten thousand years, longing for ten thousand years

The Starry Body Realm includes stages such as Qi Refinement, Skin Tempering, Flesh Maturation, Bone Transformation, Essence Transformation, Marrow Transformation, Organ Transformation, Blood and Qi Manipulation, and the Nine Steps of Embracing the Dan. This technique was designed by a genius of the divine race in response to the relatively weak physical qualifications of the divine race's people, imitating the principles of the demonic race's body. The rare materials required for refining physical strength at each minor stage are countless and vary significantly.
