Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 746 - 332, Closure and Penetration

In six years, he had cultivated from the Ten Layers of Body Openings to the Qianyang Realm.

The speed of Hou Yuxiao's cultivation progress could be described as shocking the world; it wasn't an exaggeration at all.

People said that the Five Tigers of Hou Clan had rare talents in the world, and this was true. Setting aside Hou Yuxiao, the three—Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, and Hou Yujie—were able to cultivate from body-opening to the Yuan Dan Realm in seven years, which was enough to look down upon the young elites of the world.

As for the fifth brother Hou Yuduan, his current Martial Arts Level was the Divine Skills period of the Yuan Dan Second Realm, and although Hou Yuxiao wasn't clear on his Confucianism cultivation, he knew that if the five brothers were to truly compete in terms of talent, Hou Yuduan was undoubtedly the undisputed first.

This point, even to this day, Hou Yuxiao still believed without a doubt.

His talent should be on the same level as the other three, and the reason he could cultivate faster was still thanks to the third function of the Divine Lotus, Devouring Skills.

In just seven short years, the territories controlled by the Hou Clan had expanded several-fold; accompanying this were many brutal battles and massacres. While others might have a vague concept, Hou Yuxiao was crystal clear, because most of the enemies defeated and removed by the Hou Clan had become the nutrients he used to enhance his cultivation.

Heaven's way is to diminish the excessive and supplement the insufficient.

Although currently, Hou Yuxiao's body hadn't shown any conditions despite the rapid increase in his cultivation, his heart was still somewhat anxious.

The cultivation that took normal people decades or even centuries, he devoured in one go; such means to enhance cultivation could be considered utterly unscrupulous. In the past few years, the Hou Clan encountered too many things and too many strong enemies, and he used this function without restraint. Hou Yuxiao worried that if this continued, he would probably end up truly becoming a slave to the Divine Lotus. frёeωebɳovel.com

In the main hall of Hou Mansion, Hou Yuxiao sat cross-legged at the head, looking at the black and white Divine Lotus that floated silently within his Sea of Consciousness. Out of the twelve petals, six black and six white, five were dull and unlit, while among the other seven, three white and four black petals shone brilliantly.

Transformation, Minor Rejuvenation Pill, Devouring Skills, Cultivation Technique Advancement, Concealing Everything, Short-term Power Enhancement, Enslaving Others; these were the functions granted to him by the seven lit petals of the Divine Lotus, three white and four black. Looking back now, Hou Yuxiao realized that any of these seven functions could be said to completely defy common sense, utterly defying the heavens.

Hou Yuxiao looked at the Merit Gold Page above the Divine Lotus, where two huge numbers, one white and one black, stood out starkly, but there was not a hint of joy in his heart.

In his hand, he held the second Merit Gold Page sent by Sikong Yue, his expression gradually becoming complicated, while his heart was in extreme turmoil.

Sikong Yue must know about the Divine Lotus!

This woman had given Peng Yuhu the second page, betting that he definitely wouldn't resist using it. The first Merit Gold Page, which turned the data of his Divine Lotus functions into a tangible form, had already made him dependent. What effect would the second have, and if he used it, would he become even more dependent on the Divine Lotus in the future...

More importantly, Sikong Yue's actions must have a deep purpose.

Could these two Gold Pages become a handle for Sikong Yue to deal with him in the future?

These issues were the points of Hou Yuxiao's struggle and conflict.

The Divine Lotus was his greatest reliance, and this Merit Gold Page was exactly the tool that helped him understand and use the Divine Lotus; he found it very difficult to resist the temptation not to use it.

"I've already used one page; even if it becomes a leverage for Sikong Yue, not using this second one won't change anything. If I'm to die then so be it. At most, I'll just stay away from her and avoid any contact in the future!"

Soon, Hou Yuxiao had his answer. His eyes darkened, and he absorbed the Merit Gold Page into his Sea of Consciousness, beginning the integration with the page inside.

There were many issues to be solved in this round of seclusion for Hou Yuxiao: rapid cultivation, Merit Gold Page, the eighth function of the Divine Lotus, strengthening his Martial Arts techniques, and so on. It was destined to be a long time, but thankfully the surrounding environment was stable for now, and with Hou Yucheng and the others handling the clan affairs, he could be at ease.

Of course, that didn't mean Hou Yuxiao would ignore everything during his retreat.

Not to mention clan affairs, it would be too unfair to Zhao QingXue if he secluded himself immediately after just one day of marriage. So, every few days, if there was no new progress, he would come out to accompany Zhao QingXue, helping her get familiar with the clan, and even deal with some clan matters together, assisting her to integrate into the family more quickly.

The time Hou Yuxiao spent with his family not only brought rare peace to the Hou Clan but also to Hexi as well. In those precious seven years, the more than twenty million souls of Hexi also truly had the opportunity to recuperate and recover.
