my world double door.

"This Xiao family is indeed a Wu Wang family with a profound heritage. They even have something like the Spirit Source Pearl."

Li Yang looked at the Spirit Source Pearl in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement. He knew that this Spirit Source Pearl would be an incomparable fortune for him. He slowly walked forward, stretched out his hand, and prepared to pick up the Spirit Source Pearl. However, just when his hand was about to touch the Spirit Source Pearl, the Spirit Source Pearl suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force shook him back several steps.

"What's going on?" Li Yang was shocked. He didn't expect that the Spirit Source Pearl would have such a strong defensive power. He mobilized the spiritual power in his body again and injected it into the Nine Realms Tower. The Nine Realms Tower shone brightly and emitted a powerful force, blasting towards the Spirit Source Pearl.

However, the defensive power of the Lingyuan Pearl was beyond Li Yang's imagination, and his attack was easily blocked by the Lingyuan Pearl. Li Yang frowned, knowing that it would be difficult to obtain the Lingyuan Pearl. He began to carefully observe the runes around the Lingyuan Pearl, trying to find a way to break the Lingyuan Pearl's defense.

After careful observation, Li Yang finally found the flaw in the Lingyuan Pearl's defensive rune. He mobilized the spiritual power in his body and injected it into the Nine Realms Tower in a specific order. The Nine Realms Tower glowed brightly and emitted a mysterious force, blasting towards the flaw in the Lingyuan Pearl.

"Boom!" After a loud noise, the defensive rune of the Spirit Source Pearl was finally cracked, and Li Yang successfully got the Spirit Source Pearl. He put the Spirit Source Pearl in his arms, feeling the powerful spiritual power contained in the Spirit Source Pearl, and his heart was filled with joy.

After leaving the underground palace, Li Yang continued to explore the Xiao family mansion. He discovered some hidden secret rooms and treasure houses, which also contained a large number of cultivation resources and treasures. Li Yang collected these resources and treasures one by one. He knew that these treasures would become an important helper in his future cultivation.

After Li Yang had plundered all the cultivation resources in the Xiao family mansion, he stood on the ruins of the Xiao family mansion, looking at the devastation in front of him, feeling filled with emotion.

"Strength is the foundation of everything. The first thing to do next is to practice well and improve your cultivation first."

Li Yang's mind moved secretly, and he decided to absorb all the resources as soon as possible and put them in his pocket.

Li Yuan flashed into the best-protected secret room of the Xiao family and took out the Lingyuan Pearl first.

Li Yang knew that this Spirit Source Pearl was the key to his breakthrough in cultivation, so he decided to absorb the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl first. He found a quiet corner in the secret room, sat cross-legged, and placed the Spirit Source Pearl in his palm. Taking a deep breath, he activated the internal skills and guided the energy in the Spirit Source Pearl to slowly flow into his meridians.

At first, the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl was like a trickle, gently nourishing his meridians. Li Yang felt a cool feeling spread throughout his body, and every limb was nourished by this energy. Every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing this pure power. His skin gradually glowed with a faint blue light, as if covered by a layer of mysterious light.

However, as the absorption deepened, the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl became more turbulent, like surging waves, impacting his meridians one after another. Li Yang felt as if there were millions of ants gnawing at his body, the pain was unbearable. His forehead was covered with sweat, his face was as pale as paper, but he gritted his teeth and continued to guide the energy to flow through his meridians with his tenacious will.

At this time, the meridians in Li Yang's body were like dried-up rivers, constantly expanding and reshaping under the impact of the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl. Each expansion was accompanied by severe pain, as if his body was being torn apart. But he did not retreat, and had only one belief in his heart: to break through himself and become a strong man.

While absorbing the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl, Li Yang also took the pills in the secret room from time to time. These pills have different effects. Some can replenish his consumed physical strength, and some can enhance the toughness of his meridians. They complement each other with the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl. When he took a pill called "Juyuan Pill", the pill instantly turned into a hot flow in his abdomen, which merged with the energy of the Spirit Source Pearl and produced a wonderful reaction. He could feel that his strength was growing at an astonishing rate, and his perception of the energy between heaven and earth became more acute.

At the same time, Li Yang began to study those precious martial arts secrets. He immersed himself in the profound martial arts theory. Every rune and every sentence was like a key, opening a door to a higher martial arts realm for him. He continued to comprehend the essence of the martial arts and combined it with his previous practice experience. When practicing a boxing technique called "Broken Sky Fist", Li Yang repeatedly pondered the meaning of the fist. He kept punching in the secret room, and each punch was accompanied by the sound of whistling wind. At first, his boxing was still a little rusty, but as his understanding of the meaning of the fist deepened, his boxing became more and more fierce, and each punch could cause the surrounding air to vibrate, as if to tear the space apart.

As time went by, Li Yang absorbed more and more resources, and his cultivation level was also rapidly improving. He could clearly feel that his strength was constantly expanding, and his understanding of martial arts was becoming more and more profound. His muscles became tighter, and his skin exuded a faint luster, as if it contained endless power. His eyes also became sharper, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Finally, Li Yang's cultivation reached the peak of the Martial King realm, and he was only one step away from the legendary Martial Saint realm. At the critical moment of the breakthrough, Li Yang felt unprecedented pressure. The barrier that blocked his breakthrough seemed indestructible, and every impact he made was like hitting an invisible wall.

Just when Li Yang was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the hardships he had gone through and those who had laughed at and bullied him. A strong sense of unwillingness and anger surged in his heart, and this emotion turned into a powerful driving force, supporting him to continue the attack.

Li Yang concentrated all his energy, gathered all the energy in his body to one point, and launched a final attack on the barrier. "Boom!" A loud noise sounded in his body, and the barrier was finally broken by him, and he successfully stepped into the realm of half-step martial saint.

At the moment of breakthrough, Li Yang felt that he had merged with the world. He could clearly feel the energy flow between heaven and earth, as if he was the master of this world. His perception range was also greatly improved, and every blade of grass, every insect and every bird within a few miles around him was within his perception. Li Yang slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, which was a symbol of strength and wisdom. He stood up and waved his hand gently, and a strong airflow instantly knocked the surrounding boulders away. He could feel that his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

In this continent, the Martial Saint realm is the pinnacle that countless warriors dream of. It is a symbol of power and glory, and represents a deep understanding and control of the rules of heaven and earth. Li Yang, a young man who rose from the ordinary, finally broke through the shackles after experiencing countless hardships and opportunities, and stepped into the realm of a half-step Martial Saint. His aura instantly swept across the entire Tianyuan Continent, causing an unprecedented shock.

At the moment of the breakthrough, the valley where Li Yang was seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. The originally calm air suddenly became violent, forming a huge energy vortex. In the center of the vortex, Li Yang's body was emitting golden light, like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire valley. His hair was flying wantonly, and his clothes were rustling, as if he had merged with the world.

This powerful aura, like a surging wave, spread out in all directions with Li Yang as the center. The warriors who were practicing around the valley were awakened by this aura. They looked towards the valley in horror, their faces full of shock and awe. A martial king who was breaking through his bottleneck was directly broken through by this aura, and his strength was further improved. He stared at the valley blankly, muttering to himself: "This... what kind of power is this? So powerful, so terrifying!"

As Li Yang's aura spread, the entire Tianyuan Continent felt this powerful oppression.

In the distant imperial capital, the emperor in the palace was discussing state affairs with his ministers. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop". The ministers cast doubtful glances at him, but the emperor did not bother to explain. He just looked in the direction of Li Yang, his eyes full of shock and uneasiness. He knew very well that the appearance of such a powerful aura would definitely break the existing balance of power in Tianyuan Continent.

In all the major sects, the elders activated the mountain protection formation to prevent this unknown force from impacting the sect. Some young disciples were frightened by this aura and trembled. They had never felt such a strong oppression. And those strong men of the older generation had solemn faces. They knew that the Tianyuan Continent was about to usher in a huge change.

Li Yang's aura contained a unique understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. He seemed to have touched the threshold of the Martial Saint realm and had a preliminary understanding of the rules of space and time. In his perception, everything around him slowed down, and he could even see the flow trajectory of energy particles in the air. This understanding of the rules of heaven and earth made his strength a qualitative leap.

He waved his hand lightly, and a golden sword energy shot out instantly, cutting a distant mountain in half. The roar of the mountain collapsing echoed in the valley for a long time. Li Yang looked at his palm, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation. He knew that he was no longer the boy who was bullied by others. Now, he could fight even against a strong man in the realm of martial saint.

Li Yang's aura also contained a strong mental pressure. This pressure could directly affect the minds of others. Some weaker warriors fell into a coma after feeling this pressure. And those stronger warriors had to use all their strength to operate their skills to resist this pressure.

"…………"

The sun shines in the garden of Xiao's mansion, and the beauties are either strolling leisurely or sitting around chatting. Among them is the gentle and lovely Su Yao, who always has spring in her eyes and smiles like a blooming spring flower; and the mature and charming Lin Wan'er, who is full of charm in her every frown and smile, and exudes charming charm in every gesture. They seem to have a carefree life, but in fact they are just tools for the family to maintain relationships and seek benefits, and their fate is not controlled by themselves.

Suddenly, a powerful and trembling breath swept over like a surging wave. This breath was majestic and powerful, with a power beyond the ordinary, as if it could control the world. Su Yao, who was pruning branches in the garden, dropped the scissors in her hand with a clang. She raised her head in horror and looked in the direction of the breath, her beautiful eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief. "What...what is this breath?" She murmured to herself, her voice trembling unconsciously.

In the attic not far away, Lin Wan'er was combing her hair in front of a bronze mirror. The breath instantly made the comb in her hand stop in mid-air. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart. "Who is this powerful force?" She whispered softly, her heartbeat speeding up involuntarily.

As the aura continued to spread, the entire Xiao Mansion fell into chaos. The servants panicked and ran around to tell each other; the guards quickly gathered and looked around vigilantly. The elders of the Xiao Mansion also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly summoned the core members of the family to discuss countermeasures. And those beautiful women, fear and curiosity intertwined in their hearts, at the same time, a subtle change in mentality quietly occurred.

Su Yao's mind kept recollecting the shock brought by the powerful aura. She thought about her life in the Xiao Mansion. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she was always helpless. The family regarded her as a bargaining chip for marriage and arranged her future at will. "If I can follow a strong man with such power, can I get rid of this controlled fate?" She thought to herself, and a desire grew in her heart.

Lin Wan'er was also overwhelmed. She knew very well that in this world where strength was respected, the strong had absolute say. She recalled her experiences in the Xiao Mansion, where she was coveted for her beauty and bullied for her powerlessness. "Such a strong man may be able to be my support." She clenched her fists, her eyes revealing determination.

As time went by, when the beauties learned that the owner of this powerful aura was Li Yang, who was once regarded as an ant by the Xiao family, their hearts were even more shocked. Su Yao remembered that at the family banquet, Li Yang was ragged and humiliated by the children of the Xiao family, but now he has such awe-inspiring power. This huge contrast made Su Yao have a strong interest in Li Yang. She imagined what Li Yang looked like now, and an indescribable admiration surged in her heart.

Lin Wan'er thought more. She knew very well that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between Li Yang and the Xiao family. The Xiao family had suppressed him in every possible way. Now that he was rising strongly, the Xiao family must be in danger. "Instead of waiting to die in the Xiao Mansion, it is better to take the initiative to surrender to Li Yang. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope, and even change my destiny." She thought in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

So, on a dark and windy night, Su Yao and Lin Wan'er quietly packed their bags, avoided the heavy guards of the Xiao Mansion, and ran towards the direction where Li Yang was. Along the way, the moonlight shone on them, reflecting their determined figures. Su Yao's heart beat fast, nervous and excited, she was looking forward to meeting Li Yang and imagining her future life. Lin Wan'er seemed calmer, she kept observing the movements around her to ensure their safety. (End of this chapter)
