Chapter 514: Tang Yin’s Secret Accidentally Revealed

The first to achieve a breakthrough was Mu Yan; her cultivation level was the lowest among Tang Xiao’s wives, and she finally broke through to the Upper Rank of the Xiantian Level.

Although her cultivation had just broken through, Mu Yang did not stop absorbing qi. She was eager to catch up with Tang Yin and the others.

Tang Xiao didn’t stop Mu Yan; instead, he crouched down before her and put a pill in her mouth, which would help her stabilize her cultivation more quickly.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Xiao would never have used such a pill for this purpose, but the space rift was a different matter.

They could only stay inside for three months, so they had to make the most of the opportunity before their eyes.

Even if Mu Yan’s foundation cultivation became unstable, she could stabilize it again after they left the space rift.

After Mu Yan swallowed the pill, Xuanyuan Mengli and the others could feel the qi fluctuations in her body slowly stabilized, which left them perplexed.

They had used such pills in the past, but their effects weren’t as rapid as Tang Xiao’s.

Furthermore, their pills had a detrimental effect, and the qi within their bodies would become difficult to control.

If they didn’t fully concentrate on controlling it, their cultivation veins would be damaged, and their cultivation foundation would collapse.

*Boom!*

Just as they were pondering this, another burst of qi occurred. This time, it came from Xing Xing, whose cultivation broke through to the Peak Rank of the Xiantian Level.

By harnessing the powerful qi within the space rift, both women managed to achieve their breakthroughs after cultivating for an entire day, which was impossible for them to do in the Canglan Realm.

Just like with Mu Yan, Tang Xiao placed the pill in Xing Xing’s mouth, allowing her cultivation to stabilize faster.

One of the reasons Tang Xiao stopped cultivating was for the sake of his six wives; Xiao Ai had informed him that several of them were about to reach a breakthrough.

Xuanyuan Mengli and the others stared at Tang Xiao’s back in astonishment; they had never imagined that he possessed so many of those pills. Given the strength of the qi within the space rift, all his wives would have the opportunity to break through several times with the help of those pills.

Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tang Yin; he was confident that she would be the third to make a breakthrough, and her cultivation would reach the Lower Rank of the King Level after this. Then, he looked at Sun Xiang, whose cultivation was also approaching the King Level.

"Tang Xiao." He turned toward the elders. "What kind of pills did you give them? Where did you get them? Did you concoct them yourself?"

Tang Xiao shook his head. "I’m not an alchemist, at least for now. You guys must have heard about my late master, right? These pills are his legacy, and he also bequeathed many other pills to me."

"Was your late master a renowned alchemist in the past?" Taixu Yue asked.

"Haha," Tang Xiao laughed softly. "To tell you the truth, I don’t know anything about my late master’s background or abilities. The day he saved me, I was on the verge of death, so I didn’t have the chance to chat with him."

"Then?"

"When I woke up, I was already a cultivator, and my late master had already left this world." Tang Xiao paused. "However, he left behind some of his memories—along with a few other things—within my mind. He also explained some general things to me, so I wouldn’t be confused about cultivation."

Lou Feng and the others looked at Tang Xiao seriously, wondering whether to believe him or not.

Tang Xiao shrugged. "I’ve told you the truth, so it’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not."

Tang Xiao could show them his memories of that day, but he didn’t intend to. After all, he said he came from the Qingquan Realm, and his memories of the day of the accident would reveal that he actually came from Earth.

So far, only Situ Lingxi and Murong Xianyin knew about Tang Xiao’s origins, and he had no intention of telling anyone else, including the other members of the Situ Clan.

After they waited for some time, Tang Yin and Sun Xiang broke through to the Lower Rank of the King Realm at the same time.

The elders’ expressions turned serious as soon as Tang Yin’s body emitted the darkness element, a glimmer of killing intent appearing in the eyes of some of them.

"This." Xuanyuan Mengli was completely shocked. "Tang Xiao, she—"

"Why?" Tang Xiao turned around and faced them, his expression becoming very serious. "Do you now think my wife is a heretic?"

"We—"

"Heretics or not, we can’t judge people by their darkness element." Tang Xiao waved his hand, cutting off Zhu Rongjun’s words. "Even if you don’t want to admit it, in reality, many cultivators who don’t have the darkness element are more vicious than those heretics. For example, Song Tiankun and Shenwu Huxiao don’t have darkness elements, and they come from royal families, but they are as vicious as those heretics."

As soon as Tang Xiao mentioned those two names, Xuanyuan Mengli and the others found it difficult to dispute him. After all, Song Tiankun and Sheng Huxiao’s evil deeds were clear to them, and their leaders were constantly monitoring their movements, especially Emperor Xuanyuan Lingtian.

Tang Xiao spoke again. "If you guys can’t accept my wife because of her darkness element, we’ll have to part ways today, and we won’t have any relationship in the future."

After that, Tang Xiao ignored them and focused on monitoring Tang Yin and Sun Xiang, who were in the process of breaking through. He enveloped them in his void element, and he would take them away if they couldn’t accept the situation.

Although Taixu Yue and Situ Yang were shocked by Tang Yin’s darkness element, they had no other thoughts about it. After all, Situ Lingxi was their member, and she was already Tang Xiao’s wife.

However, Xuanyuan Mengli, Luo Feng, Zhu Rongjun, and Zhu Zhiwei were different from them.

Although Xuanyuan Yueyao had already chosen Tang Xiao as her future husband, their relationship was limited to acquaintances and not very deep.

As for Zhu Xuan’er, she had only known Tang Xiao for a few days, and their relationship was not that close.

Hearing the commotion among them, Xuanyuan Yueyao, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Taixu Wuxian, and Zhu Xuan’er stopped cultivating and opened their eyes.

Their gazes immediately fell upon Tang Yin, whose body was becoming increasingly enveloped by the darkness element.

Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Taixu Wudie, and Zhu Xuan’er were completely shocked after learning that Tang Yin was a darkness cultivator.

Unlike them, Xuanyuan Yueyao remained neutral, shifting her gaze toward Luo Feng and Xuanyuan Mengli. "There is no need for you both to concern yourselves with the matter of her darkness element, Elder Luo and Elder Mengli. In fact, my uncle already knew about this matter from the start, and he didn’t think too much about it."

"Is that true, young miss?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Yueyao nodded. "They had their cultivation aptitude examined at the Yuanxi Hall, and Old Huangfu oversaw the process. He told my uncle about her results, but he didn’t do anything to her. If my uncle couldn’t accept that, he wouldn’t have allowed me to approach them."

Xuanyuan Mengli and Luo Feng exchanged glances, then nodded toward Xuanyuan Yueyao. "Since the Emperor has no issue with her darkness element, we shall abide by his decision."

"Good." Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at the two elders from the Zhu Clan. "I understand your concerns, but it would be best for you both to follow my uncle’s decision."

Zhu Rongjun and Zhu Zhiwei opened their mouths to say something, but they swallowed their words and nodded to Xuanyuan Yueyao.

Xuanyuan Yueyao reminded them. "Don’t mention today’s events to other people and keep everything to yourselves. Do you understand?"

"We understand."

Since Emperor Xuanyuan was aware of Tang Yin’s darkness element and didn’t take issue with it, Xuanyuan Wenxuan chose to put the matter out of his mind and continue with his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Taixu Wuxian was certain that his parents already knew about Tang Yin’s darkness element; they had refrained from discussing it for certain reasons. He glanced toward her, sighed inwardly, and continued his cultivation.

"Yueyao."

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Yueyao turned to Zhu Xuan’er. "What are you thinking about?"

"Are you sure her darkness element won’t bring trouble for us?"

With his sharp hearing, Tang Xiao naturally overheard Zhu Xuan’er’s question. He looked at her and said, "If you’re afraid of running into trouble because of my wife, then you and your elders are free to leave. Even without all of you, I can lead all my wives to explore this place, and we won’t run into any trouble at all."

Zhu Xuan’er was stunned for a moment; she didn’t expect Tang Xiao to speak to her like that. She wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Yueyao stopped her. "Alright, you don’t need to say anything else, and you also don’t need to worry about any future trouble."

Zhu Rongjun and Zhu Zhiwei frowned, feeling that Tang Xiao’s attitude was too excessive. Yet, they said nothing, especially after hearing Xuanyuan Yueyao’s words earlier.

*Swoosh*

They turned their attention to Tang Yin and Sun Xiang, who had successfully formed their cultivation souls. However, they were shocked again when they saw the former’s cultivation soul; it didn’t resemble a human baby but a demon baby.

"This? How is this possible? She is clearly a human, yet her cultivation soul takes the form of a demon baby."
