Divine God Against The Heavens

When Wu Feng got to know that an old man invited Ye Xiao to chat with him on the Third Floor, as if he understood something, he didn't dare to delay Ye Xiao any longer and said, "You should go. Take this badge with you. With this batch, no one will stop you!"

Saying this, Wu Feng gave Ye Xiao a badge. Ye Xiao took it and saw two swords in the shape of 'X' was carved on one side of the badge while on the other side, Deputy Pavilion Master was written!

Ye Xiao thanked Wu Feng. Wu Feng nodded his head and left.

Ye Xiao then turned to go where Lin Hao was standing but stopped just after taking one step. It is because Lin Hao was nowhere to be seen.

"He must have left when I was still talking with Deputy Pavilion Master Wu Feng!" Ye Xiao muttered in low voice, shook his head, and turned once again to go to the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion.

It didn't take long before Ye Xiao was standing in front of a room. Inside this room was the old man who invited Ye Xiao the other day.

While Ye Xiao was coming here, he was stopped by a person who was dressed in white and two swords' image in the 'X' shape was carved on the white robe's back. This person was a member of the Double Sword Pavilion.

Ye Xiao directly showed that person the badge given by Wu Feng and told him his purpose. Seeing the badge, that person accompanied Ye Xiao to the floor. He brought Ye Xiao in front of the room he was currently standing, told him that the old man he wants to meet was staying in this room, and left.

"Knock! Knock!"

"Come in!"

When the permission to enter was given, Ye Xiao pushed open the door and entered the room.

Inside the room, there was a small bed, and other than the bed, there was only a prayer mat.

The old man was sitting cross-legged on the mat with his eyes closed. In front of him, two swords were floating without the support of anything. A sharp sword intent was enveloping the entire sword and the swords' surroundings seem to be distorting, because of the sword intent.

It seemed as if the space surrounding the two swords was tearing apart from time to time before recovering immediately.

Ye Xiao could feel a terrifying power from the two swords. He believed he'll be cut into pieces if the old man attacked him. He wouldn't even get the chance to retaliate in front of these two mighty swords. Although the swords' power was reserved, Ye Xiao could still feel the terrifying and dangerous aura of these two swords.

The old man still had his eyes closed. Sensing someone entering the room, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "You are here. I knew you'll come!"

Ye Xiao didn't say anything. He just kept changing his gazes between the two swords and the old man. He was also on high alert all the time. If the old man attacked, he'll immediately enter the Universe in his mind.

Although the old man will doubt Ye Xiao having a great treasure or some other secret, he'll still enter the Universe in his mind. After all, his life was much more important. As for the old man doubting him, when Ye Xiao's strength increases, he'll come back to kill the old man.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

That old man opened his mind and threw something at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao caught the thing and looked at it. It was the Dragon Blood Stone.

As promised, the old man gave Ye Xiao another Dragon Blood Stone.

After giving the Dragon Blood Stone to Ye Xiao, he said, "Do you know why I told you to come here?"

Ye Xiao shook his head. It was the truth, he still didn't know why the old man told him to come here or why the old man was so interested in Ye Xiao?

Not receiving any reply from Ye Xiao, the old man said with a smile, "Can you tell me, what exactly have you done to be marked with Death Order?"

Ye Xiao's mouth opened wide as he looked at the old man in surprise. He didn't expect this old man to know that he was marked with the Death Order.

Wait a minute?

How did this old man know about the Death Order? Is he also one of the Demonic Cultivators? Or is he from the Demon Race who is disguised as a human and was living among the humans?

No, he shouldn't be a demonic cultivator or a demon. After all, Ye Xiao didn't sense any demonic aura from him. Also, the Death Order on his hand was not reacting even though he was clearly standing in front of the old man.

Many questions appeared in Ye Xiao's mind but he had no answer to those questions.

Looking at Ye Xiao's surprised and struggling face, the old man knew what Ye Xiao was thinking. Trying to convince Ye Xiao, he once again said: "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. I know about the Death Order because I'm powerful enough to sense it on your body!"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath. He was not familiar with this old man so he didn't dare to let his guard down. Although the old man tried to make Ye Xiao believe him, is it too easy to believe someone whom you are not familiar with?

The answer was no!

The same happened with Ye Xiao. He didn't believe the old man, nor did he let his guard down. Instead, his guard against the old man rose exponentially.

Seeing this, the old man sighed. He knew Ye Xiao was not believing him. He also knew why Ye Xiao was not believing him. If he was in Ye Xiao's place, he would do the same. He would also not believe someone whom he just met and was not familiar with.

That old man said, "As I said, I'm not your enemy. I think you have also heard the rumour outside that the leader of Double Sword Sacred Land has arrived and is living on the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded his head. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said, "Does it mean you are..."

"Yes, I'm the leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land."

The old man didn't let Ye Xiao complete his sentence. He cut Ye Xiao's words and gave Ye Xiao an affirmative answer. Then he again said, "Since I'm the leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land, I can't be a demonic cultivator or someone from the demon race. At least now you should believe me!"

Hesitating for a while, Ye Xiao nodded his head.

In these few days, he got to know many things about the Sacred Lands. He knew that Sacred Lands are the ones protecting the worlds of Upper Realm from the attacks of the Demon Race. They always stay on guard against the Demon Race and if a war broke out between humans and demons, Sacred Lands are the first ones to send their men on the Warfield to eradicate and destroy the demon race's forces.

Seeing that Ye Xiao finally nodded his head, the old man said again, "Now tell me, how did you get marked with the Death Order? As far as I know, Death Order can be given only by a Dao Manifestation Realm demon. Moreover, the demon should at least be at the Late Dao Body of Dao Manifestation Realm!"

"Late Dao Body?"

When Ye Xiao heard the above three words, he became confused once again. He couldn't understand the meaning behind these three words.

Seeing Ye Xiao's confused expression, the old man said, "It is not surprising you don't know about Dao Body of Dao Manifestation Realm. Many people only get to know about these things after their increasing their cultivation bases to the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Actually, Dao Manifestation Realm is the highest rank of cultivation for the people of Upper Realm to cultivate. Dao Manifestation Realm is divided into three stages. They are Dao Body, Dao Soul, and Dao Tribulation."

"These three stages are again divided into Early, Middle, and Late Stage!"

"When an Ancient Immortal Realm martial artists break through to Dao Manifestation Realm, they needed to cultivate their body into Dao Body and evolve their bodies into Divine Body. After cultivating the Dao Body, they have to cultivate their soul into Dao Soul and evolve it to Divine Soul. When both body and soul evolve to become Divine, they step into Dao Tribulation Stage where they have to pass three heavenly tribulations before successfully transforming into a Divine Being."

"I'll not say more. You'll get to know about these things if you can cultivate to the Ancient Immortal Realm. Currently, you are just a little Middle Stage Immortal King Realm martial artist."
