Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement in her heart. The advancement of her second uncle, as well as the Heavenly Thunder Body Refining, was very likely due to that Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng from earlier. When the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng advanced to the Nine-leaf Divine Level, it had also attracted Heavenly Thunder, but at that time, because of Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, the Purple Ginseng had only absorbed a small portion of the Thunder power. But later, it was used on Yun Canglang, and with the dispersion of the Divine Power, it coincided with Yun Canglang’s advancement, and that portion of Thunder power brought forth several Heavenly Thunders. Even though she knew heavenly thunder had benefits, the thought of her and Ye Beiming’s past encounters with thunder strikes filled Yun Sheng with fear and trepidation; she was worried about the safety of her second uncle. "Master, this process can only be endured by your second uncle alone, others cannot lend a helping hand," Zong Ren, seeing Yun Sheng’s worried face, continued to comfort her: "Since ancient times, Martial Artists have pursued strength above all else, and reaching Martial Saint cultivation requires not only exceptional talent but most importantly an unyielding heart. If your second uncle can overcome this, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. If he fails, then it is simply fate, and no one else is to blame." Zong Ren, who was older than both Yun Sheng and Yun Canglang combined, had long seen through the various aspects of human nature. After his reassurance, Yun Sheng clenched her fists silently, "Second Uncle, you must get through this time! Your wife is still waiting for you!" The appearance of Yuan Shahu was like a strong shot of adrenaline, and it was her presence and her zither sound that ignited Yun Canglang’s fighting spirit. Yun Sheng believed that if Yun Canglang survived this, he would certainly reunite with Yuan Shahu. As they were speaking, the heavens and earth roared, and a blue-purple lightning bolt, resembling an old vine, burst forth like an angry dragon within the clouds. The light flickered, vegetation turned to ashes, and that furious lightning struck right on top of Yun Canglang’s skull. A seven-foot-tall man stood between heaven and earth. Yun Sheng clenched her teeth tightly, full of anxiety. When Yun Canglang was struck by the Thunderbolt, he felt as if all the blood vessels and pores in his body were blasted open in an instant, and countless fighting spirits, like myriad little tadpoles, were wildly squirming all over his body. He felt an unrelenting tightness in his chest, as if his body might burst from the swelling fighting spirit the next moment. His six orifices, unable to withstand the formidable power of the lightning, were overflowing with blood. At that moment, Yun Canglang felt as if his limbs were going to explode, as if he were on the verge of death. In the moment of life and death, he seemed to see Yuan Shahu again. The scene of their first meeting appeared clearly in his mind. Just now, in the most critical moment, the sound of Yuan Shahu’s zither emerged again. It turned out, she had always been there, waiting for him in Nanya Town where they first met. It was like seeing a glimmer of light in the darkness of night. A change quietly took place in Yun Canglang’s heart. Within his body, the power of the Marrow Jade Technique and the power of the Thunder fiercely battled each other. The violent power of the Thunder, as if it would tear his body apart at any moment, was gradually appeased under the gentle effect of the Marrow Jade Technique, merging into a robust and purest form of fighting spirit. Yun Canglang’s clothes turned to ashes, and his skin was scorched black under the power of the lightning. However, as the two powers merged into a new force, his body was rejuvenated with an unprecedented vitality. Amidst his limbs and bones, vitality flourished, his skin swiftly peeled off and regenerated. Within a short moment, like a Phoenix reborn from the ashes, Yun Canglang underwent a rebirth. An unprecedentedly robust fighting spirit surrounded him. The Fighting Spirit Wings behind him also transformed, taking on the shape of a mighty eagle’s wings. Yun Canglang took out his clothes from the Storage Ring, put them on, and then with a flutter of his Fighting Spirit Wings, he dove down from the high skies like a mighty eagle. At this moment, his aura was entirely different from how it was 15 minutes ago. The impatient and arrogant Yun Canglang of the past seemed to have completely vanished. Yun Canglang’s gaze was calm, his breath prolonged and powerful, his eyes more steady and forceful. In that moment, there was something about him that slightly resembled Yun Bahe. After thirty years, Great Zhou City has finally seen the rise of a second Martial Saint. The phenomenon of heaven and earth that occurred in the Southern Great Zhou has heralded the emergence of a New Martial Saint; that New Martial Saint was none other than Yun Canglang from the Yun Residence. The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 This news was quickly spread by "interested parties." In a few days, the news reached Yujing, and when it arrived at the Yun Residence, Yun Bahe was stunned at first, then burst into exhilarating, uncontrolled laughter. Uncle Yun had not heard Yun Bahe laugh in a very long time. As he laughed, Yun Bahe couldn’t help but have his old eyes redden, and in the end, he broke down in a loud cry. This gave Uncle Yun quite a shock. While crying, Yun Bahe said, "Yun Song, ah, your old master, I have finally held my head high and breathed freely. From now on, who dares to say that the Yun Residence lacks a worthy successor. Each generation of our children and grandchildren is stronger than the last!" Upon hearing the news, Emperor of Great Zhou was overjoyed, but he couldn’t help feeling annoyed with himself. He regretted agreeing to Yun Canglang’s resignation from his official post. Now, Yun Canglang had broken away from the court and had become a Hunter Soldier. The Hunter Soldier Union was overjoyed; the Sky Hunting Corps indeed had twin jewels, possessing one Summoning Emperor Level powerhouse, and now they also boasted a newly promoted Martial Saint. The Hunter Soldier Union immediately began efforts to win over the Sky Hunting Corps. Meanwhile, Yun Sheng and Yun Canglang, along with others, were still at the Southern Border of Great Zhou. After Yuan Shahu was taken away by Great Elder Liu Changfeng, Yun Sheng and the others inquired around the town and finally found out Yuan Shahu’s residence in Nanya Town for the past few years. It was a very ordinary bungalow, simply furnished. According to the local residents, starting eight years ago, a young woman moved here. After the woman came to the town, she lived alone, without any friends or servants. She only hired an old woman from the town to clean the house for her. But the woman’s face was always veiled, so her looks and exact age remained a mystery. The woman seldom went out, except once a year just before winter, when she would take a long trip. However, about half a year ago, a handsome young man came looking for the woman. According to the old cleaner, the young man indeed addressed the woman as "big sister." "Uncle, that must have been Yuan Shahu. She had left Dihong City long ago to live in solitude here," Yun Sheng couldn’t help but feel emotional. A young and beautiful woman forsaking her family to live in such a simple place alone for eight years. Yuan Shahu’s devotion to Yun Canglang was indeed deeply moving. Yun Canglang remained silent; he stood in the room for a whole day and night. On the second day, he came out and made a surprising decision to Yun Sheng and Zong Ren. "Uncle, are you saying you want to go to Dihong City personally?" Yun Sheng also knew that Yuan Shahu’s appearance had stirred the long-quiet depths of Yun Canglang’s heart.
