Free Web NovelChapter 106: Chapter 106: King Level Celebration Ceremony
Li Jun was a chef, earning a few thousand a month.
After going out to sea with Li Yang those few days, he had reaped great rewards and had also fallen in love with the ocean.
Compared to the profession of a chef, which was just about earning a living, he longed for the free and unfettered life on the ocean.
In fact, Li Guohai had previously called Li Guoyang to ask if they were doing anything with the fishing boat. Li Jun knew about this, and an idea had already formed in his mind back then.
Afterward, he discussed it with Zhang Ya.
The fishing trade relied on luck. You could get rich overnight, or you could suffer a loss, but Li Jun wanted to take a gamble.
He was still young; he could afford to take a shot.
Once he was older, with a son and daughter, he probably wouldn’t have the same drive he had now.
"Alright, Brother Xiaojun, then the fishing boat is yours to use," Li Yang said with a smile.
Li Jun quickly asked about the rent. Li Yang smiled and shook his head, refusing. But when Li Jun insisted on paying, Li Yang said that ten percent of the boat’s profits would be enough.
...
"Brother Li, are you not going to use the fishing boat anymore?"
Back in Coastal City, Sun Datao hurried to find Li Yang for a meal. Upon learning of his plans, he couldn’t help but sigh.
’Life was so good following Brother Li, living large and enjoying all the fine things.’
Li Yang smiled and said, "I’ve given the fishing boat to Brother Xiaojun now. I told him that you could work with him." ƒreewebɳovel.com
Sun Datao was also very interested in going out to sea.
After returning to Coastal City and handling a few matters, Shao Jie from the Celestial Origin Palace called him to celebrate his breakthrough to the King Level.
The key thing was that such a young King Level expert was definitely a joyous event for the Celestial Origin Palace.
Li Yang had no objections to this.
...
Inside the Celestial Origin Palace, many people had come to deliver congratulatory gifts for Li Yang’s return, not just Cultivators, but also the major families.
Of course, the members of these families couldn’t enter the Celestial Origin Palace proper. They could only wait in the outer courtyard. Whether they would get to see Li Yang depended on his own attitude.
The Chen family, the Zhang family, the Zhou family, and even Zhao Qianxing from the Zhao family had come.
"Haha, Old Chen, long time no see!"
"Zhang Datou, you look like you’ve gotten a lot fatter."
Among the crowd, a bearded old man was all smiles, his face crinkling up like a chrysanthemum.
"Look how happy Old Man Zhou is."
"Of course he’s happy. That Li Yang is with his granddaughter."
"Sigh, I have a granddaughter too. It’s a shame she never got to know Li Yang."
"Look at Old Man Zhou smiling, that smug look on his face. I really want to punch him a couple of times."
"The Zhou family is about to make it big. They don’t have a single Cultivator in their family. Among all of us families, they were at the very bottom. Who would have thought they’d suddenly get connected to a King Level Cultivator!"
Some people in the crowd gritted their teeth, looking at Zhou Guoyu with eyes full of both jealousy and envy.
It was no joke; they had investigated Li Yang’s background thoroughly!
To this day, Li Yang was only eighteen years old!
An eighteen-year-old at the King Level!
You have to understand, at eighteen, even reaching the Profound Level would make you a genius! And yet, Li Yang had reached such a stage!
Everyone knew that Li Yang’s potential was limitless.
In another ten or twenty years, Li Yang’s strength would certainly grow even stronger! He might even reach the Mid King Level, Late King Level, and so on!
"The Zhou family is riding high, but that Zhao Qianxing has a pretty good attitude, keeping a smile on his face the whole time."
"Don’t be fooled by his smile. Right now, Zhao Qianxing is probably eaten up with regret."
"Yeah, Li Yang is his biological grandson, but their relationship is terrible."
"When the Zheng family was going after Li Yang, the Zhao family acted like they wanted nothing to do with him, completely distancing themselves. Just watching them do that made my heart turn cold. If that were my own grandson, I’d protect him no matter the cost."
"Haha, easy for you to say. If you really provoked the Zheng family, you’d probably do the same thing as Zhao Qianxing."
Countless people were gossiping. Standing in the crowd, the smile on Zhao Qianxing’s face never wavered. He glanced at the beaming Old Man Zhou in the distance and sighed inwardly.
’If his attitude toward Li Yang had been different back then, he’d probably be smiling even more brilliantly than Old Man Zhou right now.’
Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts. At that moment, Li Yang was inside the Celestial Origin Palace. Not only were there Cultivators from Hua Country, but even Cultivators from other nations had come to offer congratulations, including several at the King Level. freёwebnovel.com
"Li Yang, that’s Tom from the United States and Barsa from Sania..."
Shao Jie stood beside Li Yang and said, "They are all at the Early King Level of strength."
Li Yang nodded.
The King Level Realm is divided into four major stages: Early King Level, Mid King Level, Late King Level, and Peak of King Level.
Not counting Shen Xuan, the Celestial Origin Palace had seven at the Early King Level, while Shao Jie and one other were at the Mid King Level.
And across the entire planet, most King Level Cultivators were also at the Early King Level. There were about fifteen at the Mid King Level, and another three at the Late King Level.
All told, including the members of Hua Country’s Celestial Origin Palace and Shen Xuan, there were only nineteen people at the Mid King Level or higher on the entire planet.
That really wasn’t a large number.
’The new Cultivation Technique in my mind, the Foundation Building Chapter, has four major stages. Based on my estimations, completing the first stage should be enough to break through to the Mid King Level,’ Li Yang thought to himself.
’But that will take over a year!’
Previously, the four stages of the Body Refining Chapter corresponded to tempering for the Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven levels. Without consuming Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs, he would have needed about four months.
But now at the King Level Realm, the first stage of tempering alone required more than a year!
The difficulty of breaking through a single minor realm at the King Level was several times harder than going from the Yellow Level all the way to the Peak of Heaven-level!
This also showed how arduous cultivation was at the King Level Realm.
It was precisely because of this that most King Level experts were only in the Early Stage.
As he was speaking with Shao Jie, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the palace hall.
Seeing this figure, everyone was startled, then said with utmost respect, "Greetings, Palace Master."
The newcomer was none other than Shen Xuan, the strongest person in the world!
At this moment, the Cultivators who had come from abroad adopted an extremely humble attitude. They had come to offer gifts for Li Yang’s breakthrough celebration, but in reality, a large part of the reason was Shen Xuan.
When someone from a Cultivator organization in another country broke through to the King Level, it was extremely rare for King Level Cultivators from other nations to come bearing gifts and congratulations.
Shen Xuan walked over and waved his right hand. A white fruit with seven lines on its surface immediately appeared, floating in front of Li Yang.
"Li Yang, you have broken through to the King Level. I will give you this Seven-Star Fruit," Shen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"A Seven-Star Fruit that can increase one’s strength!"
"A treasure like this has only ever appeared in the Xuan Lake ruins."
"A single Seven-Star Fruit is enough to increase the strength of an Early King Level Cultivator by a significant amount, allowing them to advance about a third of the way through the stage."
Seeing this white fruit, the eyes of the few foreign King Level Cultivators instantly burned with fervor and a trace of desire. They clearly knew the effects of this type of Spirit Fruit.
