He turned his head and saw that he had thrown more than 35 servings of water into the corner.

It turned out that two years and ten months had already passed unknowingly. Yi Yan was about to leave this place in another month.

Looking around the cave, he was sure that he would have his family cultivate with him in the future. Then, this place that had been passed down for over a thousand years might never open again.

He originally wanted to destroy the books here, but then he thought about it and slowly put down his raised palm.

After more than a thousand years, many martial arts techniques of various sects had been lost. The ones stored here were probably the only ones left in the world.

Perhaps even the Yi family's ancestor did not expect that the secret cave he left behind would become the place with the most martial arts manuals in the entire Huaxia.

Since Yi Yan had decided to save this place, he casually removed the original simple and crude Dust-Splitting Formation and prepared to set up a new one.

Suddenly, Yi Yan discovered an extremely weak energy fluctuation at the bottom of the stone wall. Due to it being covered up by the Dust-Splitting Formation, Yi Yan didn't examine it closely, so he didn't discover it.

Now that the dust repelling array had been removed, it naturally couldn't be hidden from Yi Yan's Spiritual Awareness.

"Could there be some other secret hidden away?"

Yi Yan was interested.

Yi Yan's doubts were finally answered.

Yi Yan smiled bitterly in his heart: "It is because this Invisibility Formation is too simple that the energy fluctuations are so weak that even a cultivator like me couldn't notice it."

It seemed that after leaving the Cultivation Realm and going through such a long period of living as a mortal, his vigilance would drop by a lot. This was not a good thing, so he had to pay more attention to this in the future.

He could not let his guard down just because his strength was higher than everyone around him. Otherwise, he would regret his actions so much that he would not be able to make it in time.

He gently picked up the few pages, which were left behind by the ancestor who built this secret cave.

"To be able to enter this place means that you are an outstanding talent amongst my Yi family's descendants. To be able to see these words means that you have carefully observed this place and even cleaned it." You must be very curious as to why I wanted to build such a secret cave. Since you have the time to tidy up this place, you should have learnt all the martial arts suitable for you. Now you are qualified to know my original intention. "

The first few sentences of /p had caught Yi Yan's interest. It seemed like his question could finally be answered.

It turned out that the martial cultivator who had taught the Yi family's ancestor back then was also a martial arts expert. When his cultivation reached the peak of the Congenital Realm, the heaven warping genius entered the path of martial arts and entered the gate of cultivation. He was then led by the cultivators into the Cultivation Realm.

Because they did not belong to any sect or school, most of his days were spent on wandering the Secular Realm. One day, he accidentally saved the life of Tang Xuan Sect, who had yet to ascend the throne.

After the Celestial Sect of Wonders ascended to the throne, they deeply remembered the life saving grace of this cultivator and admired his skills. After much searching, they finally found him.

Only then did he enter the Imperial Palace to become a Guardian. Only after the death of the Tang Xuan Sect did he leave the Tang Palace.

In the palace, the diligent ancestor of the Yi family let this cultivator see his shadow from back then. He felt moved and gave him some pointers, passing on to him the Seven Deadly Arts that he had created after entering the Aurous Core stage.

Back in the day, the ancestors of the Yi family had experienced the power of that supreme expert, so they had gathered a lot of martial arts from all over the world, hoping to be like that expert and enter the Dao through martial arts.

Once, the cultivator had traveled to Qin Mountains and met the ancestor of the Yi family by accident.

He could not bear to see the ancestor of the Yi family suffer like this and told him that with his talent, it would be impossible for him to step into the Dao through martial arts in his lifetime.

Due to the shock, the Yi family's ancestor decided to build a secret cave, hoping that one of his descendants could fulfill his wish. At the same time, he begged the expert to help him set it up.

The expert recalled their love affair and helped the Yi family's ancestor create a few pieces of jade with a formation sealed inside. Only then did he obtain the Yi family's secret cave.

While hoping that there would be talented individuals in the future who would be able to walk the path of martial arts and fulfill their wishes, the ancestors of the Yi family were worried that the descendants of the Yi family would be suspected of having martial arts training in the martial arts world. Thus, they set down the strange rule Yi Yan knew.

Yi Yan's doubts were finally answered.

Putting down his regrets, Yi Yan had set up several large-scale formations on the bookshelves. Aside from the dust repelling arrays, there was also a defensive formation protecting the bookshelves from external invasion.

Tang Dao and Yi Yan were also kept on the stone platform. Although the low rank treasure could be kept in his body, Yi Yan still liked the texture of it in his hands.

Yi Yan did not bring the "Seven Deadly Art" with him. Perhaps there would be someone in the future who would be able to comprehend the Dao based on this. It could also be considered a stroke of luck.

Of course, Yi Yan had also rearranged the protective array on the stone platform.

/p After doing all of this, Yi Yan turned around and scanned the secret cave again.

Not only had he learned a great number of moves and ways to use energy, but most importantly, the way to train martial arts had increased his close combat ability by ten times.

After passing through a long passage, Yi Yan returned to the entrance of the secret cave. While carefully thinking over what he learned in the secret cave, he quietly waited for his grandpa to send him some food and water.

Several days later, the mountain wall finally opened as scheduled. Just as Yi Zhao was about to leave, he suddenly shouted, "Grandpa!

It sounded by his ear.

Yi Zhao suddenly turned his head. Yi Yan was standing in the cave not far away, smiling at him.

There is still a month until the three-year period. Could it be that Yan'er remembered the time incorrectly?" Sigh, he's still just a child. The past three years of living by himself have truly been hard on him.

Yi Zhao could not help but have some doubts.

And then he said, "There's still a month left. Yan'er, hurry up and learn more. After all, you only have this one chance in your life. It would be a waste if you missed it."

"It's okay, grandpa. I've already learned what I need. The rest is just to practice and experience when I get back." Grandfather, don't worry, let's go back. "

Yi Yan did not explain any further.

/p p "Oh?" Then let's go. Your grandmother and the others miss you a lot too. "

Yi Zhao didn't ask any further.

The ancestors had passed down the rule that nothing in the cave could be questioned, and the decision of the person who entered the cave could not be interfered with.

As the patriarch of an ancient family, Yi Zhao had great respect for these rules. He didn't even bother to ask about Tang Dao, who was in Yi Yan's hand.

The grandfather and grandson duo slowly walked down the mountain along the rugged mountain path.

Yi Yan looked at the scenery along the way. It didn't seem to have changed much compared to three years ago.

However, after staying in the cave for three years and returning to the outside world, Yi Yan was in a very good mood.

Apart from Yi Zhao, Mu Yao, Yi Yang, and Ouyang Qian didn't know Yi Yan's exact whereabouts. Yi Zhao only told them that he had arranged for Yi Yan to go into seclusion in a place to cultivate.

Even Yi Yang could only guess that Yi Yan had outstanding talent and thus was qualified to learn some secret techniques passed down in his family. He also knew nothing about the secret cave.

After more than an hour, Yi Yan finally returned to his home that he had been away from for nearly three years.

Inside the living room, Mu Yao and Ouyang Qian were chatting. Yi Yang wasn't home, so he probably had to take care of the company's business.

When they heard the footsteps, the two of them stopped. Ouyang Qian turned around and said, "Dad, it's almost three years. Yan'er, he …"

Ouyang Qian's voice suddenly stopped as she saw Yi Yan, who was standing beside Yi Zhao.

Although Yi Yan had grown taller and changed his looks in the past three years, Ouyang Qian still recognized her son at first glance due to the nature of blood ties between mother and son.

Ouyang Qian didn't bother to greet her father and directly rushed to Yi Yan's side. She looked at her son, who was about the same height as her, and her eyes started to moisten.

Yi Yan reached out his hand to help Ouyang Qian wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, I miss you so much." How have you been these past few years? "

Ouyang Qian's voice was slightly trembling. Obviously, she was trying her best to suppress the excitement in her heart.

In the evening, Yi Yang returned. Mu Yao instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. The family was finally able to sit down and have a reunion meal.

Yi Yan hadn't eaten in three years, so his appetite couldn't help but expand when he smelled the fragrance of the food.

Mu Yao and Ouyang Qian were continuously picking dishes for Yi Yan and asking him questions.

Yi Zhao and Yi Yang stood to the side and watched with smiles, their eyes filled with warmth and pride.

Yi Yan deeply likes this kind of flesh and blood life, fully enjoys the care of his family.

This gave him a very different feeling compared to his Cultivation Realm.

After dinner, Yi Yan returned to his room because he was tired.

First, he checked his own state. Although Yi Yan hadn't trained seriously in the past four years since he started practicing martial arts, the research on all kinds of martial arts techniques had still allowed his state of mind to successfully break through the advanced stage of Spirit Severing and reach the early stage of Body Fusion.

His cultivation had also stabilized at the peak of the Middle Spirit Realm. It seemed that he would be able to break through to the Late Spirit Realm soon.

Yi Yan was becoming more and more interested in martial arts as he recalled the various martial arts he had learned in the secret cave.

First, the moves of Secular Realm were not suitable for cultivators to use; they could only be used as a reference; secondly, even if they could be used, the power would also be too small. In a battle with a cultivator, the opponent would not be able to make him use all of the moves.

Therefore, Yi Yan came up with an idea. Using his understanding of martial arts, he combined the essence of these moves and created a set of cultivation techniques suitable for cultivators to use.

Just imagining the improvements these moves could bring him, Yi Yan felt extremely excited.

In the blink of an eye, another four years had passed. Yi Yan had only organized his moves once before going through a detailed classification. The concrete process had only just begun.
