Realms In The Firmament

Master Xiao and the two brothers left with grudges.

The Monarch’s Hall was in excitement.

Everybody had the same feeling at this moment. The Monarch’s Hall was a new organization that was still weak, but it had a promising future. They realized that having a high position in the Monarch’s Hall was important for them!

If the Monarch’s Hall became one of the most powerful forces in the world, whoever were in those positions would be greatly rewarded!

That was why everybody in the Monarch’s Hall started to cultivate so hard.

The Dark Evil Spirit, Bai Long, and Qiu Luo were the most hardworking ones!

They were risking their lives to improve themselves in cultivation!

If Ye Xiao didn’t use some medicines on them several times, they would have lost control and even died cultivating…

After Master Xiao left, nothing serious happened in the Monarch’s Hall. There were still some people coming for medical treatments every day, but that was all.

Everybody in the Monarch’s Hall was cultivating.

Within one month, over four hundred cultivators decided to join the Monarch’s Hall. Everyone was improving fast. Some of them even reached a completely new stage during the thirty days.

Lei Dongtian seemed to be improved quite a lot. Feng’er, his wife, greatly improved as well. The newlyweds finally did what they wanted to do for years. With the help of the spiritual medicines, they were improving unbelievably fast.

Everybody else was jealous of them.

Among all the people in the Monarch’s Hall, the Dark Evil Spirit, Bai Long, and Qiu Luo had improved the most.

Ye Xiao’s three most trusted followers improved faster than any others.

Qiu Luo was free from the restraint of the Gray Parasol Sword Sect because the Gray Parasol Sword Sect was destroyed. All he wanted now was to improve as much as he could in cultivation. Therefore, his power was like wild grasses growing fast on the land. Because he had been through so much in his life, his mindset was stronger than the others. Within one day, he had reached level five of the Divinity Origin Stage from level three.

In fact, in the thirty days after that day, he was still improving fast.

Qiu Luo had a stronger mindset than the others and besides, Ye Xiao had done a great job recovering his physical condition. A lot of valuable medical materials had been used on his body. That was why he could improve so fast.

Bai Long and the Dark Evil Spirit were in a similar situation. They had followed Ye Xiao for the longest time among all the people in the organization, so they got more benefits than the others…

One and a half month earlier, Ye Xiao had a secret meeting with these three men and gave each of them two bottles of dan beads. Those dan beads helped the three of them improve faster than ever!

“The three of you have followed me for the longest time. I trust you… I hope that we can fight together and forever. I hope that you can keep the position of One Blade and Two Warriors with your own capability. We will eventually build our own legend in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!”

“I need you to be stronger! I need you to be the strongest!”

“Remember… I trust you three!”

What Ye Xiao said had thrilled the three men up. They felt their eyes were on fire.

“There are three kinds of dan beads in the bottles, which are all at the supreme level. They are perfect for you now. The first dan bead can enhance your soul energy, the second dan bead can purify the energy, while the third can improve your cultivation. Every one of the dan beads can offer you one hundred years of cultivation. You can eat a lot of it and the efficacy won’t get weaker!

“However, there is nothing I can do to help you strengthen your mindset. You need to do it on your own.

“Come on!”

The young master’s caring words still resounded around their ears. His eyes seemed to be still looking at them. What he said was deep in their hearts.

They all knew how valuable the thirty dan beads were and how it proved Ye Xiao’s trust to them.

They knew it. How could they not?

Every dan bead in those bottles was rare and extremely precious in the world!

For ordinary people, it would be a great fortune to have the chance to look at a dan bead like that. Now, each of them had thirty of their own!

The three men didn’t say a word.

They didn’t know what to say to show their loyalty and gratitude. It seemed words were meaningless at this point!

They decided to keep that in mind forever.

It didn’t matter what they said, but only what they did!

They had carefully kept the thirty dan beads with them and they didn’t try to save them at all. During the ten days after the secret meeting, they ate three dan beads every day. Ten days later, the dan beads were all eaten. ‘Master gave us the dan beads to improve us this much and as fast as possible.’

‘If we stupidly keep the dan beads and didn’t eat them, it will disappoint him.’

In that one month, the improvement of Qiu Luo was rocketing. He had reached the top of level eight from level five. That was unbelievable and incredibly fast.

However, as he reached the top of level eight, he had met the difficulty in breakthrough. He stopped there.

He knew why it would stop. He had improved too fast. Within two months, he had gotten over five levels, from level three of the Divinity Origin Stage to level eight of the Divinity Origin Stage. That was a miracle in the history of the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

There were three reasons why the miracle happened. First of all, he had been through so many difficulties in life. The strength of his mindset was better than most of the ordinary cultivators. Second, his physical condition was well repaired and even enhanced. He used to be a level-four cultivator of the Divinity Origin Stage and then became a wasted man, but eventually returned to his prime. That strengthened his body. Third, he was greatly supported by Ye Xiao’s medical materials and dan beads. The thirty dan beads had provided him thousands of years of cultivation. His spiritual mind and soul power were greatly enhanced. That was why he could improve so fast!

However, there was an end to the incredible improvement. When all the help he got were finished, he still needed the accumulation of experience. He needed the basic accumulation to support a further breaking improvement.

Therefore, Qiu Luo had been sitting in meditation for a few days. He decided not to join the training anymore, but to give himself more time on thinking. He was in thoughts of his martial arts and the old days that he had been through…

His face looked peaceful and calm.

…

Qiu Luo had improved unbelievably fast, while the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long were slower.

After all, Qiu Luo had been through a tough life. He had a stronger foundation and a crueler life. Nobody would choose to live the days that Qiu Luo had suffered from!

In fact, if Qiu Luo wasn’t more experienced, he might be slower than the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long.

The two of them used to be level two of the Divinity Origin Stage. The Dark Evil Spirit had almost reached level three and he might fail in the breakthrough. After Ye Xiao gave him the thirty dan beads, within one month, he had reached the top of the level six of the Divinity Origin Stage.

Bai Long was in a similar situation. He was also at the top of level six of the Divinity Origin Stage. If Qiu Luo didn’t improve that unbelievably fast, the improvement of Bai Long and the Dark Evil Spirit should be astonishing enough.

One day, the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long were having training combat. The Dark Evil Spirit was suddenly enlightened and then got a breakthrough during the fight. He reached the level seven of the Divinity Origin Stage! With the improved power, he kicked Bai Long’s a*s in the fight.

“This is so unfair!” Bai Long was bleeding and shocked. “How could you get a breakthrough in a fight?! Bastard!”

Bai Long was always calm and steady; he barely said abusive words, but he couldn’t help to speak it out this time because it surprised him so much!

He couldn’t believe the man who had always been at the same level as him, actually became one level higher. He felt lost.

‘This is… This is not fair!’

Besides, it happened when the two of them were having a fight. In other words, he helped the Dark Evil Spirit with the breakthrough…

However, the Dark Evil Spirit didn’t say thank you, but beat him up so hard! That provoked Bai Long!

“Well, the Two Warriors are equally important positions indeed, but one is always better than the other!”

The Dark Evil Spirit looked at Bai Long and gloatingly said, “Bai Long, just kneel before me from now on!”

“You bastard! Bullsh*t!”

Bai Long was so angry about the Dark Evil Spirit’s gloating look. Without hesitation, he left the fight for more individual training.

The Dark Evil Spirit was greatly improved. If Bai Long kept having the training combat with him, he would be beaten up hard. Therefore, he decided to have individual training and improve himself as soon as possible. He had to surpass the Dark Evil Spirit!

That was how Bai Long kept telling himself in the head.

The contest of the month was coming. Everybody in the Monarch’s Hall was getting more and more nervous.

Everybody was aiming at those positions.

Some of them, who were likely to win the contests, couldn’t wait to start the challenging.

…

There was one thing that nobody could notice during those days. Neither Qiu Luo nor the Dark Evil Spirit was the man who improved the fastest!

It was Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao had improved the most!

During the time, Ye Xiao worked as a doctor to save many people, so as to recruit new members of the Monarch’s Hall. He seemed to be too busy to cultivate, but as a matter of fact, he seized every second to improve himself in cultivation.

He had to deal with the daily matters in the fortress of trees. The fortress of trees was a place full of spiritual energy because of the energy collecting array formation.

The spiritual energy kept running into the Hall of Life and Death through the array formation, it kept brushing the things inside the Hall of Life and Death. Ye Xiao absorbed a lot from the gathering of spiritual energy. Apart from the array formation, the purple qi inside the Hall of Life and Death also kept pushing energy into Ye Xiao’s Jing and Mai. Ye Xiao was improving so fast…

That was not all. If he could give the three men so many supreme dan beads, how could he not give himself some?

Well, he definitely had left a lot more dan beads for himself, which were in much better quality!

…

During the days, the old men who kept watching Ye Xiao were astonished every day. The changes in Ye Xiao kept shocking them day after day.

The four old men always stayed together.

Master Guan, Master Song, Master Ju, and Master Yun.

“Look! Come, guys! Watch this! I think he just got one level up again.” In the first few days of the month, Master Guan saw Ye Xiao in the yard, so he excitedly told the other three old men.

The other three old men humphed disdainfully.

They obviously didn’t care about it.

‘That is right. Master Ye got a breakthrough, not your own child. Why are you so excited?’

The old men all had sharp eyes, so they all saw Ye Xiao’s improvement. However, they still thought that the young man had spent too long to get one level up, so it was not that impressive. ‘Well, he should get one level up again if he is that good!’

Five days after that, Ye Xiao had just done taking care of a patient. Master Ju was having a chitchat with somebody else when he saw Ye Xiao pacing around the yard for a rest. When he saw Ye Xiao, he was shocked.

“Holy sh*t!”

Master Ju’s jaw almost dropped on the floor.

“What is it? What is so surprising? Be calm! You are too old for this!” The other three old men were confused.

“Well… Look at that… Ye Xiao had reached the Divinity Origin Stage!” Master Ju kept staring at Ye Xiao and said, “We saw him in the level nine of the Faery Origin Stage the other day… How did he get such a great breakthrough in just a few days?”

The level nine of the Faery Origin Stage was only one level below the first level of the Divinity Origin Stage, but there was a huge gap between the two levels. It was always difficult to break the top of a stage in cultivation!

To break the limitation, one had to be great at one’s mindset, experience, skills, cultivation capabilities, soul power, spiritual mind… There were too many!

Ye Xiao had only reached the top level of the Faery Origin Stage, but in a few days, he was already in the Divinity Origin Stage…

The other three old men were also shocked and none of them said a word about it!
