«Description: Holding absolute authority within your sanctuary, restrict all movement of the opponents within the sanctuary. Pressure your enemy with Heavenly sanctuary and dominate the battlefield.»
"Heavenly Sanctuary..." Yuan mumbled softly, reflecting on the name of the technique he had just learned.
[Congratulations, Host. It hasn\'t been long since you became a cultivator and reached the spirit master realm, yet you have also increased your comprehension of the Transcendent Heavenly Scripture to the third level. It\'s as if the technique was made for you,] Nora congratulated him.
"You\'re flattering me again, but thank you, Nora. The calm atmosphere here helps me clear my mind and enhances my concentration," Yuan replied gratefully.
"In any case, this technique will be very useful when dealing with a large number of monsters. I can restrict their movement using Heavenly Sanctuary and finish them off with another technique," Yuan explained, considering the practical applications of his newfound technique.
[I\'m sure the Host will dominate the battlefield with this technique when facing hordes of monsters,] Nora\'s voice resonated with excitement.
At that moment, Xi Meili opened her eyes and sensed the formidable aura emanating from Yuan. She could easily perceive that he had improved as a cultivator once again. Although she wasn\'t physically present during his previous cultivation breakthroughs, their contract allowed her to sense his progress.
\'Just what is my hubby\'s limit? Does he even have a limit to his talent?\' Xi Meili wondered to herself. In the realm of cultivation, every individual is either born with or without talent, and even those born with talent have limitations imposed by the heavens.
\'No... In the ancestral memories, it was mentioned that there exist people who have no limit to their talent... But those people are...\' Xi Meili pondered further, contemplating the possibilities.
"Now that my understanding of the cultivation technique has improved," Yuan murmured to himself, "I can absorb even more Qi with the cultivation technique."
A minute later, Xi Meili hugged Yuan from behind and exclaimed, "Congratulations on your improvement, Darling!"
"Thank you, Meili. And it seems you have also made significant progress," Yuan said, sensing that her cultivation had reached the bottleneck of the sixth level of the Spirit Master realm.
"So you already noticed, huh...?" Xi Meili muttered, acknowledging Yuan\'s perceptiveness.
A moment later, Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma also opened their eyes upon hearing Yuan and Xi Meili\'s conversation.
"Oh, you guys are done with your cultivation?" Yuan asked, addressing his family.
"The spiritual energy here is very thin, so we could only reach the peak of our minor cultivation realm," Emma responded, sounding a bit disappointed.
"I see..." Yuan nodded, understanding the limitations of cultivating in this place with its sparse spiritual energy. It was indeed challenging to make significant breakthroughs under such circumstances.
Meanwhile, Rose and Ava arrived at the room, overhearing Yuan and his wives conversing.
Approaching the door, Ava knocked gently and inquired, "Have you all finished your meditation, Mr. Yuan?"
"Eh? Don\'t tell me you two have been waiting outside this whole time?" Yuan quickly went to the door and opened it, while his wives stretched their arms and legs after being in the lotus position for an extended period.
"Well, it\'s not what you think, Yuan. We came here earlier and called your names, but you didn\'t respond or open the door. When we entered, we saw that you were all deeply meditating, so we decided not to disturb you and planned to come back later," Rose explained to Yuan.
"I apologize for that," Yuan expressed his remorse.
"Anyway, I have some news for you, Yuan. We have obtained new information about the Wyvern, and it appears that it may commence its invasion with its army as early as tomorrow morning," Rose informed them, a sense of urgency in her voice.
"I understand," Yuan nodded.
Ava was surprised to see Yuan and his wives remaining calm despite the impending attack of powerful monsters on the village the next morning.
"How can they stay so calm in a situation like this?" Ava wondered, her astonishment evident.
"And one more thing," Rose interjected, her smile lighting up her pretty face as she glanced at Xi Meili, "Our mother would like to invite all of you for dinner later. We understand if you\'re still full from the restaurant earlier, though."
"Dinner? That\'s great!" Xi Meili immediately accepted the invitation, her eyes lighting up at the mention of food. She couldn\'t resist the allure of a delicious meal, even if her stomach was still quite full. How could she turn down a free and sumptuous feast?
"That\'s wonderful! We\'ll inform our mother," Ava assured them before she and Rose disappeared from the scene.
After Ava and Rose left, Yuan and his wives exchanged a perplexed look, their gaze fixed on Xi Meili.
"Meili dear, are you sure you can handle more food?" Anna asked, sounding a bit dazed.
"I can. After cultivating for a while, I\'ve digested my earlier meal, so I have room for dinner," Xi Meili nodded, her smile radiant.
"Dear Lord!" Lily exclaimed, astonished at Xi Meili\'s capacity for food.
Silence fell over the room as they contemplated Xi Meili\'s response, struggling to fathom how she could consume such vast quantities of food.
A few moments later, Yuan suggested, "Let\'s go and take a nice bath since there\'s a bathroom available right next to us."
Following his suggestion, Yuan and his wives took turns enjoying a relaxing bath. The bathroom was small, accommodating only one person at a time.
After a little while, everyone finished their baths and changed into fresh clothes in preparation for the upcoming dinner with the Monroe family.
A few moments later, there was a knock on the door, and Rose\'s voice came from the outside.
"Yuan, dinner is ready," she announced.
"We\'re coming," Yuan replied as he emerged from the room with his wives. Xi Meili and Lily clung to his arms, causing a twinge of jealousy in Rose, but she brushed it off.
She led the group into the dining hall, where a long table was set in the middle, the same spot where Yuan and his wives had previously enjoyed a meal. The rest of Rose\'s family was already waiting.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Yuan," Layla greeted him.
"No, we should be thankful for being invited, Miss Layla," Anna replied, a warm smile on her face.
"Please have a seat," Layla gestured to the six empty chairs beside Rose, and the servants pulled them out.
"Thank you," Yuan expressed his gratitude.
As they settled into their seats, Layla commanded the servants, "Bring us the food!"
Within seconds, the servants started bringing dish after dish into the room, carefully placing them on the table. The array of food was impressive.
"Rose mentioned how you and the two young ladies beside you, Xi Meili and Emma, have quite the appetite and could devour an entire menu. I made sure to prepare enough food so that you don\'t have to worry about shortage for the others," Layla informed Yuan with a smile.
\'What?... Do they have that kind of appetite? But finishing an entire menu meant for at least 15 people... Sounds impossible to me,\' Ava thought to herself, clearly surprised.
Soon, they began to eat. The Monroe family watched in awe as Yuan, Emma, and Xi Meili devoured the food on the table as if they had been hungry for thousands of years and were finally able to eat.
Even Rose, who had witnessed their eating prowess at the restaurant, couldn\'t help but stare at them with wide eyes.
\'How can they still have the appetite to eat that much when they already consumed so much food not long ago? Where does all the food go after entering their stomachs? It\'s almost like a magic pouch that can hold an endless amount despite its tiny size,\' Rose marveled silently, astonished by their voracious appetite.
\'God! They really do have a monstrous appetite! After seeing this, I have no doubt that they indeed finished the entire menu at the restaurant!\' Ava exclaimed inwardly, completely taken aback.
After a little over an hour, they had finished eating, and the servants cleared away the empty plates. Layla looked at Yuan and asked, "From the way you guys ate, I suppose the meal was to your liking?"
"Indeed, the food was delicious. It seems you have a wonderful cook," Yuan replied with a smile.
"Well, all the food was prepared by Ivy. She is an exceptional cook who can make almost anything, and we consider ourselves lucky to have her," Layla praised.
"I didn\'t expect Miss Ivy to be such a great cook," Anna commented, stealing a glance at Ivy, who wore a proud smile on her face.
"Anyway..." Just as Layla was about to continue speaking, the door slammed open, and a guard rushed into the room.
"Who dares?! Do you have no manners? We have important guests here!" Layla shouted at the guard who came into the room.
