Chapter 344: Farewell to Family, Retreat and Breakthrough

Gu Yang's figure cut through the night sky as fast as a passing meteor. Soon, the outline of Mosasaurus Island came into view.

The lights on the island were still dim, exuding a warm tranquility, but Gu Yang knew what kind of disturbance and uneasiness was hidden behind this tranquility.

He didn't stop and flew directly in the direction of the family mansion.

For Gu Yang, home is his strongest support and the softest place in his heart. In this troubled world, the safety of your family is more important than anything else.

Gu Yang landed gently in front of the mansion's door, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anxiety and eagerness in his heart. He opened the door softly, fearing to disturb the tranquility of the home.

Inside the mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and family members were sitting or standing, discussing something.

As soon as Gu Yang entered the door, he saw his mother's haggard face, his father's face with determination, and his sister's eyes were red, obviously she had been worried for a long time.

Gu Yang felt hot in his heart and couldn't help but quicken his pace. He took a few steps in front of his mother and said softly: "Mom, I'm back. What's wrong with you?"

When the mother saw Gu Yang, the worry in her eyes immediately turned into tears. She stepped forward and hugged Gu Yang tightly, saying in a trembling voice: "My child, you are finally back. Where have you been in the past three years? How come there is no news at all?" No, do you know how I survived these days alone?"

Gu Yang's nose felt sore. He hugged his mother tightly and comforted softly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."

His father came over and patted Gu Yang on the shoulder, his eyes full of pride and relief: "Well done, Gu Yang, you make father proud of you."

The younger sister also rushed over, grabbed Gu Yang's arm tightly, and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Brother, you are finally back. You must be well and don't worry us anymore."

Gu Yang's heart was filled with emotions. He looked at his family and knew that he could no longer worry them.

He smiled slightly and nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I will be fine. When I leave this time, I will go to a hidden place to practice in seclusion. Don't worry, I will make our family stronger and no longer be harassed by anyone." threaten."

When the family members heard Gu Yang's words, they all showed happy smiles on their faces.

However, Gu Yang's heart was surging. He didn't know until now that he had been away for three years.

I didn't expect that a trip to Jiuyou World would take so long.

Gu Yang sat on the main seat in the living room, with his family sitting around him. The atmosphere gradually changed from nervous and worried to warm and harmonious.

He looked at each family member, and his heart was filled with deep concern and guilt for them.

"What has happened at home in the past three years?" Gu Yang asked softly, his eyes revealing curiosity and concern about the past years.

The father sighed and looked worried: "In the past three years, the situation in Cangzhou has been unstable. About two years ago, aliens began to invade Cangzhou on a small scale, and then became more and more frequent. I heard that many cities suffered heavy losses. "

Mother continued: "Yes, we are very worried these days when you are away. Although we have your friends in the sect to help us, we always feel that without you, we have no peace of mind."

Gu Yang's eyes wandered over the faces of his parents and sister, and he could feel the worry and difficulty in everyone's eyes. He knew that the changes in the past three years were no small matter for the family.

However, this was not the time to talk about this. Regarding the information about the alien race, he went to Qin Wujiu to ask, and it became clearer that there was no need to talk about this with his family.

As soon as Gu Yang changed his voice, he looked at Gu Yingying and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years. My sister has become a big girl. Now she has started to polish her skin. Practice hard and become a strong person to protect your parents in the future."

Gu Yang's words revealed his care and expectation for his sister. After hearing this, Gu Yingying had a sweet smile on her face, and the tears in her eyes seemed to become brighter.

"Brother, I have been practicing hard and I will not let you down." Gu Yingying pursed her lips, her tone full of determination.

Gu Yang nodded and turned to look at his father, "Father, how is the family's business? Are there any major changes over the years?"

The father raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about where to start, "There is not much problem with the industry. Although the situation is unstable, our Gu family can still stabilize the situation with your friends taking care of it. But besides you, our family In addition, without any force to support it, we can only tolerate many things without you for these three years."

After hearing this, Gu Yang's eyes flashed with sharpness, "Father, don't worry, I'm back. With me here, no one dares to act rashly."

The mother looked at Gu Yang worriedly, "Son, you just came back and your body hasn't adjusted well yet. Don't be too tired."

Gu Yang smiled gently at his mother, "Mom, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Later, Gu Yang asked about the trivial matters of life at home, as if he wanted to make up for the gap in the past three years.

The family members looked at Gu Yang's concerned look, and the tension and worry in their hearts gradually dissipated, replaced by a long-lost warmth.

Gu Yang's sister Gu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up and she mentioned a new kitten at home, "Brother, while you were away, we had an extra kitten in our house. It is very cute. Wait a minute." I'll take you to see it."

Gu Yang smiled and nodded. He was happy to see that his sister could find some fun in this tense atmosphere. He also wanted to take this opportunity to relax his tense nerves.

Family chat gradually shifted from heavy topics to light-hearted family affairs. As Gu Yang listened to the conversations of his family, the ice in his heart slowly melted. He knew that no matter how the outside world changed, this place would always be his warmest harbor.

Late at night, my mother got up and urged everyone to rest early, "We are all very happy that Yangyang is back today, but don't go to bed too late. Your body is the capital of revolution."

The family members stood up in response and said good night to Gu Yang. Gu Yang stood up and watched his family leave one by one, feeling a warm current in his heart.

He knew that he would face more challenges tomorrow, but tonight, he just wanted to enjoy the warmth of this long-lost home.

…

The next morning, the sun shone through the window lattice and onto Gu Yang's bed. Gu Yang opened his eyes, and the warm party last night seemed to be still in front of him. However, he knew that he could no longer immerse himself in the warmth of home. The outside world was waiting for him to face it.

He quickly put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then left the room. Gu Yang walked firmly and headed straight for Qin Hu's residence.

Qin Hu is Gu Yang's life-and-death friend in the sect and his most trusted comrade-in-arms. In the past three years, Qin Wujiu's help has been indispensable for the family to be safe and sound.

Walking through the familiar streets, the anxiety in Gu Yang's heart was gradually replaced by determination. He must understand everything that happened in the past three years in order to better protect his family and the sect.

Qin Hu's residence is not far away, located on the west side of Canglong Island, in a courtyard made of bluestone. Gu Yang knocked on the door lightly, and soon, a figure walked out of the courtyard.

"Gu Yang, you're back!" Qin Hu looked surprised. He stepped forward and held Gu Yang's hand tightly, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"Yes, I'm back. In the past three years, I've been very worried about the situation in Cangzhou. Tell me about the movements of the foreign races." Gu Yang got straight to the point, his eyes firm and unquestionable.

Qin Hu led Gu Yang into the living room and said in a deep voice: "The alien invasion is much more serious than three years ago. Not only are they numerous in number, but they are also powerful. In almost every confrontation, we paid a heavy price. ”

"Their main force is still blocked by us in Mozhou in the west, but the alien race has divided up many small teams to sneak into our human race's sphere of influence to carry out sabotage operations. In the past three years, we have been tortured by them."

Gu Yang's brows were furrowed. As he listened to Qin Hu's narration, he felt anger and worry mixed in his heart.

"Is Mozhou's defense line still stable?" Gu Yang asked.

Qin Wujiu shook his head, "It is not stable to say that it is stable, and it is not necessarily stable to say that it is not stable. Although we can defeat the aliens every time, every victory is a tragic victory. If it were not for the help of other alien forces, I am afraid that we would have been defeated. We have already lost."

Gu Yang clenched his fists. He could imagine how much pressure the Human Race and Cangzhou had endured in the past three years.

"I'm back, Brother Hu, and I will work with you to protect Cangzhou and our nation." Gu Yang's voice was firm, like an oath.

Qin Hu looked at Gu Yang, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, "I believe you, Gu Yang."

The two discussed many details of the war, and Gu Yang learned a lot of key information, which was the basis for his next plan.

When the sun passed through the sky, the conversation between the two came to an end. Gu Yang stood up and said to Qin Hu: "I need time to digest this information. Next, I will go to see His Highness King Qin to see what arrangements he has for me."

Qin Hu nodded and sent Gu Yang out. Gu Yang's figure looked particularly determined in the sunshine. He knew that this was just a new beginning. He wanted to fight for a peaceful future for his family and Cangzhou.

…

He told Qin Hu that he would go to see Qin Wujiu, but a few days after Gu Yang returned to the family mansion, he did not rush to see His Highness King Qin, but chose to practice in seclusion. He knows that only if he is strong enough can he better protect his family and Cangzhou.

Gu Yang chose the most secluded training room in the family mansion. It was equipped with multiple formations, which could not only isolate outside interference, but also enhance the concentration of spiritual energy. It was the best place for retreat and training.

Before entering the practice room, Gu Yang specifically told his family not to disturb his practice no matter what happened, unless it was a matter of life or death.

The door slowly closed, and Gu Yang began his retreat.

He sat on the futon, crossed his legs, made mudra with his hands, and began to regulate his breathing and concentrate. His breathing quickly synchronized with the surrounding aura, and a faint halo formed around his body.

Gu Yang silently recited the inherited Five Elements Opening Heaven Recording Technique in his heart, feeling the energy in his body constantly condensing, and his consciousness gradually spreading, creating some kind of wonderful resonance with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Time passed slowly in seclusion, and Gu Yang was completely immersed in the state of cultivation. His spiritual platform was clear and clear, with no distracting thoughts in his mind. Only the clear Dharma doors echoed in his heart.

As his cultivation progressed, Gu Yang felt that his body and soul were undergoing baptisms again and again, and his realm was constantly stabilizing and improving.

His various magical powers have also been condensed in this process. It is the ability to control the power of heaven and earth, which can not only enhance his own combat power, but also produce unexpected effects at critical moments.

Gu Yang knew that he was getting closer and closer to the realm of return to unity. Reunification is the state of condensing all one's magical powers to the extreme, and finally turning them into a magical talisman. Once he breaks through, his strength will make a qualitative leap.

On the seventh day of retreat, Gu Yang felt a strong energy boiling in his body. It was the result of his years of practice and a precursor to the state of unity.

His heartbeat quickened, but he did not panic. Instead, he focused more on guiding the energy in his body, preparing for the arrival of that moment.

Finally, on the morning of the ninth day, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice on Gu Yang, all the magical powers in his body were condensed to the peak. With a slight sound of breaking through the air, it finally turned into a five-color talisman.

Sizzle~

At this moment, his body seemed to be reborn, and a new power flowed in his body.

Gu Yang felt an invisible force spreading in his body, which was a shocking power like a long-dormant beast waking up. The spiritual energy in his meridians began to boil like an activated volcano, and each cycle was stronger than before.

With the transformation of magic power, Gu Yang's perception was constantly improving. He could feel the sound of wind, birdsong, and even the sound of flowers and trees growing in the outside world, all becoming extremely clear. He could even feel an ant a few miles away trying to carry food.

In the retreat room, a miniature cyclone formed around Gu Yang's body, and the spiritual energy was constantly sucked into the cyclone and then absorbed by his body. Around him, the concentration of spiritual energy gradually became thinner, and his body was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the spiritual energy around him.

With the continuous transformation of his magic power, Gu Yang felt that his body was also becoming stronger. His skin gradually exuded a slight metallic luster, which was a manifestation of the strengthening of the body to a certain extent.

In this state, Gu Yang seemed to be one with the world, and he could feel that every breath he took was in line with the rhythm of the world. There were no more distractions in his mind, and the whole person reached an unprecedented state of tranquility.

His consciousness was constantly expanding, and it seemed that he could touch every corner of the world. His spiritual consciousness became sharper, and he could even perceive the subtle changes in the outside world.

At this moment, Gu Yang's magic power was no longer a simple spiritual energy operation, but a more advanced energy form.

He closed his eyes and immersed his mind completely in this transformation. (End of this chapter)
