The Journey to Heaven

Three Symbols

"The day is coming to an end and this fight has come to an end" whispered a silver-haired man who watched the battle between man and wolf from the first start.

Monitoring Huozhan's fight with a tier six demonic beast, Yang Jian was increasingly convinced by his opinion of the child's talent.

When the two first met, Huozhan was always suppressed by the wolf. But after a long fight, it looks like the boy has started to escape the pressure.

This could be seen from Huozhan's qi that had started to strengthen ever since he started the fight. After this fight, perhaps the child will break through to the next level.

As the fight reached its climax, Yang Jian looked at them seriously. Feeling that something was going to happen rather seriously, the silver-haired man started to approach slowly.

And sure enough, not long after the two kept their distance, they immediately pounced on each other.

"Boom...!"

A huge collision occurred, a puff of dust had covered the two figures.

Yang Jian immediately ran to the scene, since they were about to make a final attack, Yang Jian was already preparing for the worst.

It only took a short time for Yang Jian to arrive, with the flickering of the dust hand covering instantly disappearing.

As the dust began to dissipate, it appeared that two different figures were lying together. The two figures were heavily injured, but they saw small movements from each of their bellies.

Making sure the two were still alive, Yang Jian started to calm down. Checking on Huozhan's state, he found the wounds all over his body not too severe.

But when he looked at his right hand, the wound was too severe. It seemed that in the last clash Huozhan only used his right hand, as a result of which his right hand was torn to shreds and even white bones were seen.

Glancing at the demonic beast at the side, Yang Jian was able to confirm as large as his wound was an internal wound. Just like Huozhan, his worst wound was on his right front leg, it seemed like the bones in the area had been smashed to pieces.

Taking out a few things from his ring, he directly stuffed it into the mouth of Huozhan and the wolf. Yang Jian was also confused, why did he care so much about demonic beasts now.

Helping Huozhan to digest the items he gave, Yang Jian also began to channel his qinya into Huozhan's body. It just so happened in the world of cultivators that qi was famous for its purity.

"Ohuk, ohuk..."

Slowly Huozhan's eyes began to open, looking at Yang Jian in front of him Huozhan showed a carefree smile.

"Hehe. uncle see I made it."

"You did it, but now shut up and let me heal you."

"Hehehe..."

Yang Jian smiled, looking at Huozhan with his carefree face even with severe injuries on his body.

"Good uncle."

"Oh.. What about that wolf uncle."

"She's fine, I've given her a pill to heal her wound."

"Thank you uncle Yang."

Pleased with Huozhan's thanks, Yang Jian continued his treatment to Huozhan.

The sky started to darken, some beasts were preparing to return to their nests.

Yang Jian was now still sending his qinya to Huozhan who was in the lotus position. By inserting his qinya into one's body, it was the same as looking at all the secrets of that person's body.

Continuously circulating his qi into Huozhan's body, Yang Jian began to feel a change in the quality of the child's qi.

"As I thought, he will soon break through the second level," Yang Jian muttered.

Not long after Yang Jian's sentence something happened to Huozhan's body.

"Yes..."

Opening his eyes Huozhan immediately circulated his qinya. Sensing the purity of the qi within his body, Huozhan could not help but smile on his lips.

"Hehe. I am now on the second floor, this way you will be left behind again."

Saying that sentence, Huozhan unconsciously behind stood Yang Jian glared at him. Yang Jian who was amused by Huozhan's mannerisms instantly hit his head.

"Turkey!"

"Ouch!"

Taking his hand back, Yang Jian asked, "why are you so happy, are you happy to be in front of your brother with you guys not on the same starting line?"

Still holding his head, Huozhan scowledly replied, "That's the reason I'm happy now, because once brother starts his training he will definitely go at a crazy pace."

Yang Jian only sighed when he heard Huozhan's reply, he who had known the stories of the two children knew their abilities quite well.

Not wanting to think about it anymore, Yang Jian glanced at Huozhan who was still silently stroking his head.

"What are you still standing here for, quickly go your task is still not finished."

"Yes sir!" Shouting that word, Huozhan immediately ran towards the cave naturally with a smile on her face. Seeing his manner Yang Jian also smiled.

...

Elsewhere, Yin Jing and WuChang still continued their training.

Before Yin Jing had already given the first movement of Nether Yin Baptism, the movement was useful in the level of muscle training.

During the practice of the technique, Yin Jing also did not forget to give advice while practicing this technique.

Now that Yin Jing was standing watching every move from WuChang, she was surprised to see WuChang being able to make that move only after he showed it once.

He had originally told WuChang to practice the move, because he wanted to know how great his comprehension ability was.

Now that he knew how genius this child was, Yin Jing could only fall silent as well as add to his hatred towards geniuses.

But the genius of WuChang not only arrived there, after completing the movement technique he did not stop and immediately repeated it better.

Each repetition, WuChang's movements got better even almost touching the core of the technique.

Despite being annoyed with WuChang's genius, Yin Jing began to be convinced of his choices as well as his older brother's.

...

"Hm. I don't feel any life energy here."

While her brother was training, Huozhan had managed to enter the cave that his grandfather had intended.

From Huozhan's observation and his ability to sense life energy, he could judge that this place was empty, there was not even a single insect in this place.

Increasingly entering into Huozhan began to be curious about the state of his grandfather's secret cave. This cave is quite large and spacious even though there are only rocks and the sound of running water.

Strangely though there was no sunlight coming in, Huozhan could see clearly in the darkness.

As if as a guide, in this cave there is only one path and Huozhan advanced according to that path.

Not knowing how far he had to travel, Huozhan kept walking leisurely while thinking what his grandfather had left behind.

"Hm... about what grandfather left behind?"

"Is it possible that it's a cultivation technique or something else?"

"There is no way the old man will give anything valuable, it could be just a recipe for making tea or his favorite alcohol."

Imagining what his grandfather was about to leave behind, Huozhan was unaware that he had walked far enough.

"Hm..."

Out of his imagination, Huozhan's eyes turned forward and saw a hole that seemed to be the entrance.

Making sure there was no life in it, Huozhan calmly stepped into the room.

Going inside, Huozhan's gaze was immediately fixed on the cave wall that was right in front of him.

On the wall of the cave, was engraved the relic which was the symbol of the Zhang family in the middle, while on the left and right sides were engraved one relic each.

The first relic from the left is a sculpture of a tiger standing firmly with all four legs, as well as a head that focuses forward.

Then on the right side there is an owl-shaped relic perched on a branch, his head slightly lowered as if watching everything under the darkness.

Finally right in the middle of the two relics there is a sculpture that forms a circle, if the two previous sculptures only have one symbol then this sculpture has three symbols.

The first and second symbols are two birds chasing each other to form a circle, and in the center there is a flower with eight petals.

Approaching the wall, Huozhan grew more and more convinced by what he saw. Although he had not seen the Zhang family symbol before, he could tell because grandfather had told him about it.

This sculpture in front of him was in accordance with what his grandfather had described, As for the other two symbols, Huozhan did not know the meaning behind it.

Getting rid of the relics problem on the wall, Huozhan's gaze fell on the table right in front of him.

The table was just like a regular table in general, it was just that what distinguished the table was made of stone that he did not know what it was.

On the table there is only a piece of paper and a stone as a holder. Other than those two things, there was nothing else there.

After making sure there were no traps or anything dangerous on the table, Huozhan picked up the two objects and checked them out.

It turned out that the retaining stone was the jade slip that Uncle Yang had once described. Holding back the urge to figure out what was stored within that jade slip, Huozhan thought it best to start by reading the letter in his hand.

'Congratulations on getting here Huozhan.'

"Hm... Why did you know I was here?" Huozhan murmured before reading it again.

'I can tell you who's coming here because I'm sure your brother will understand what this grandfather wants to mean.

Let's get to the real topic, I made this cave a test and a road protester for you. Huozhan during the fight outside, you should have already understood the path that you must go through.

This path is probably one of the hardest, when you wade it you will meet with many obstacles and trials. But I hope you make it through this path perfectly.

Of course this old man is not cruel, I left something for you in the jade slip you took. In the jade slip there are cultivation manuals along with other techniques that will help in your journey.

As for WuChang I also left something for him here, so after you come out tell WuChang to come here by himself.

Lastly come to the top where the qilin horn is located, there you will find the secret of this mountain range.

May we be together again, grandfather will always watch over you from afar.'

After knowing what the letter said, Huozhan grew more convinced the old man just wanted to play with them.

If he wanted to tell the way out would not it be better to just show it, but here he was instead circling with letters as if trying to be mysterious.

Getting rid of the matter about his grandfather, Huozhan kept the letter and jade slip onto the ring on his finger. He was in no hurry to read the jade slip.

Earlier when he entered he was too focused on the relics on the wall, so he was unaware of the circumstances inside this room.

Now his business had been completed, and he had time to observe this place. From his observation this room had many relics other than the ones he saw.

On the two side walls are human-shaped sculptures. Human sculpture is not just one but there are several, and if observed all the sculpture is like explaining something.

Not just on the wall, even on the floor where he was standing now was a similar relic.

In addition to the relics carved on the walls and floor of the cave, there are several jars located in the corner of the room. The jar seemed to be sealed tightly, as Huozhan could not smell anything from it.

Making sure it was okay here, Huozhan decided to get out of this cave. She brought nothing but letters and jade slips, as she knew all that was left would be taken by her brother later.

Knowing the trip home would be boring, Huozhan started walking while humming.

Having just walked a few meters, Huozhan was suppressed by the force out of nowhere. Unfinished from the sudden pressure, there was a sound like the clanking of very loud bells.

"This time what happened."

"Hopefully this isn't a joke made by big brother, otherwise I can't even think of the consequences."

It was Huozhan's last murmur, before she fainted from the force that had befallen her.

But when the time comes, everyone in the world will agree with his words.
