Li Ling smiled and nodded: "Yes, Grandpa will be very happy. Also, Yu'er has just arrived in the Central Plains, and it's a bit unfair that I can't be by her side. I think I'll bring Yu'er's mother from the desert later."
At this point, Li Ling looked apologetically at Xueyan and said, "Yan'er, you're not upset, are you?"
Xueyan gave Li Ling a playful glare: "You've already won this girl's heart. She's devoted to you, and bringing her mother here is just part of her job. Why would Xueyan be angry?"
Li Ling was deeply moved when he heard Xueyan say this. The beautiful woman in front of him not only had a kind heart and would treat the poor people for free, but she was also so knowledgeable and reasonable. She did not blame him for bringing Zhao Yu'er home. Instead of making things difficult for Zhao Yu'er, she took great care of her in her daily life.
Li Ling is truly lucky to have married such a wife. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the main text.)

Chapter 202: Terrifyingly So!!
"Good! Good! Good!"
In the living room, Yi Yun said "good" three times in a row after hearing that Li Ling had broken through, his face full of joy.
Zhao Yu'er supported Xueyan from the side, carefully watching over her.
"Feng'er, demonstrate the Eight Swords Flying Together for Grandpa," Yi Yun said.
Li Ling replied, "Okay, Grandpa, let's go to the training ground."
As they spoke, the group arrived at the training ground, where a group of guards were conducting their daily training.
"Greetings, Old Master, Young Master, Young Master's Wife, and Miss Yu'er." Upon seeing the group, the guard leader Guan Shan quickly stepped forward and bowed to them.
"Uncle Guan, you're too kind," Li Ling, Xueyan, and Yu'er returned the greeting.
Guan Shan had watched Li Ling grow up, and his status in the Famous Sword Manor was not low. Li Ling and the others respected Guan Shan very much.
Yi Yun waved to Guan Shan, telling him not to stand on ceremony, and instructed, "Da Shan, have everyone else retreat outside the training ground."
"yes!"
The training ground was over a hundred meters in diameter. Guan Shan carried out Yi Yun's order and had everyone leave the training ground. Soon, the entire training ground was cleared out, leaving only rows of weapons and training equipment.
"Go, wind."
Li Ling nodded, then said to Yu'er, who was standing to the side, "Yu'er, take good care of Xueyan. You two stay away from her and don't get hurt by the sword energy I use to test my sword."
Yu'er nodded and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Xueyan."
Li Ling smiled slightly and walked straight to the center of the training ground. Once he reached the center, he was the only person within a fifty-meter radius around him.
At this moment, he activated his inner cultivation technique, drawing upon the sword energy within his body, and the next instant—
"Hiss~"
The eight sword energies in Li Ling's dantian burst forth and manifested around him. Eight swords of different colors appeared: the black and white swords of yin and yang, the five elemental swords of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the chaotic sword energies that fused seven sword intents.
Of course, at this moment, the Chaos Sword Essence is mainly dominated by the Sun Intent, with a vast and masculine white light flashing in the chaotic color.
Eight sword energies floated around Li Ling, constantly rotating around his body.
"Whoosh~"
The fierce sword intent filled the entire training ground, spreading out for nearly a hundred meters, causing the clothes of the people outside the field fifty meters away to rustle.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The sword intent surged, causing all the weapons in the training ground and the swords at the waists of the guards to tremble.
"Sister Xueyan, let's step back a little further." Sensing the fierce sword intent, Yu'er was worried that it would harm Xueyan and the child in her womb.
As they spoke, the two of them retreated another twenty meters or so before they felt the impact had lessened.
Yi Yun looked at the eight swords floating around Li Ling from afar, and was secretly shocked. Although he had seen descriptions of eight swords flying together in the ancient books left by his ancestors, he did not know how powerful they were until he actually experienced them.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The eight sword energies spun continuously, and Li Ling felt his true energy being consumed rapidly. The original liquid of the Qiankun World continuously replenished Li Ling's energy.
This was also the first time Li Ling had experienced the power of eight swords flying together. "The power of these eight swords flying together is several times stronger than when I used seven swords before, but the consumption is too great."
"If it weren't for the World Essence constantly replenishing my energy, I probably could only last ten minutes before my true essence was completely depleted."
Although it is said that after becoming a master of the innate realm, the true energy of an innate martial artist can be inexhaustible, this only refers to the general situation. When Li Ling used the Eight Swords Flying Together, his innate true energy simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, which was far from enough to keep up with the consumption.
This is precisely the law of conservation of energy; immense power represents immense consumption.
"Then let's test the true power of the Eight Swords Flying Together."
With this in mind, Li Ling guided his thoughts and unleashed eight sword energies, with the Chaos Sword Energy in front and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sword Energy rotating around it.
"Boom!!"
Eight sword beams shot into the ground ten meters away from Li Ling. In an instant, it was as if an earthquake had occurred, and the entire training ground shook.
The sword energy shot out, shattering the marble floor and creating a deep crater. The marble was pulverized into powder by the sword intent, and for a moment, the entire training ground was shrouded in dust.
"Splash~"
All that could be heard was the sound of weapon racks falling to the ground, and the marble floor shattered, sending dust flying everywhere. Those outside could not see what was happening inside the arena.
"Grandpa, will something happen to Brother Yi?" Xueyan and Yu'er rushed to Yi Yun's side after the ground tremors subsided. They clasped their hands together and looked at the scene with worried expressions.
