Realms In The Firmament

Erhuo shook its tail and walked away.

Ye Xiao didn’t know that in the Boundless Space, there was a small space other than the Nine Spaces and the main space, which was mysterious.

Erhuo had entered that mysterious space now. A rich purple fog gathered over and covered Erhuo’s body. The cat was gone.

In the small space…

Erhuo looked at the twelve seats, and it arrogantly meowed, shaking its head and tail, puffed up with its success…

– Shoot! – A tiny black dragon flew over its head and landed on one of the chairs.

After that, the tiny dragon froze.

After that, a tiny rabbit, a tiny ox, and a tiny chicken appeared. Erhuo threw them to three other chairs…

A cloud of dense purple fog ran over and covered the four tiny animals.

After that, several waves of mysterious qi spread out…

Behind the purple fog, there must be some really special power, which Erhuo cherished a lot…

Erhuo saw the purple fog covering the four spirits, and it was satisfied, so it elegantly walked out the secret space.

‘This is going to help Master a great deal. He is too weak to use the full power of the incredible martial art. I should build the Twelve Spirits as soon as possible…’ Erhuo thought. ‘When the twelve spirits are completed, it should be his glorious time to be the king of the world.’

‘I guess then he will understand what he should do to become the true Supremacy.’

…

When Erhuo was finishing all these in the secret space, something happened to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao happened to be cultivating, and suddenly he absorbed spiritual energy twice as fast as usual! He could clearly felt the acceleration.

He was always careful. Every time when he reached a new level, he would try to get a clear image of it.

Now, the image was clear in his head!

It seemed like just one step upward from level nine of the Saint Origin Stage to the first level of the Immortality Stage. In fact, it was one step that stopped so many cultivators in the world. Fang Wudi was a good example. Fang Wudi had reached the top of level nine of the Saint Origin Stage for a long time. He was so close to the Immortality Stage. However, that was the best he could do before he died in Ye Xiao’s hands!

Therefore, Ye Xiao was quite careful when he was going to reach the Immortality Stage. He divided the last level of the Saint Origin Stage into five phases, initial phase, middle phase, late phase, top phase, and breaking phase!

Ye Xiao had an idea about the five phases.

Each phase should take him one month.

In the initial phase, he could clearly sense every tiny bit of improvement. He divided the initial phase into three parts, the early initial phase, the middle initial phase, and the final initial phase, each of which took ten days.

When he was in the early initial phase, he realized one thing which surprised himself. He improved much faster than he expected! He could spend only three days to get to the middle initial phase!

Now, as he felt the change brought by the four spirits, he knew that it only needed one and a half days to finish the early initial phase.

The only reason was that he absorbed spiritual energy twice faster than before now.

If he kept absorbing energy this fast, he needed only two and a half months instead of five to reach the new stage.

He was shocked! How could he not?

His East-rising Purple Qi was quiet. There was no sign showing that it was reaching the fourth level…

How did he get the acceleration?

Ye Xiao tried to figure out why, but he got nothing.

He checked the martial art, the Boundless Space, the supreme dan beads he took, and even considered the dual cultivation time… Nothing special happened which could accelerate his improvement so much!

He rubbed his head and murmured, “This is weird… So weird…”

“What is so weird?” Xuan Bing asked.

“I suddenly improved faster… I am twice as fast as usual now…” Ye Xiao shook his head and looked confused. “My improvement was stable, and I could clearly feel it. I was sure that I could reach the Immortality Stage in five months, well, if everything went well… However, I am much faster now… It means I will probably reach the Immortality Stage in two and a half months… It is a good thing. I just… I checked everything, but I can’t figure out why… I just don’t feel safe… Even if I will reach the next stage safely, it still bothers me…”

The Flower King suddenly coughed loudly. His face turned red.

It seemed he wanted to say something but he couldn’t. His neck turned red as well, and he raised up his head, saying nothing.

‘Holy hell… I really don’t want to say anything about this… This master I decided to follow… He is such a monster! That is so sick! He is not a human being at all… I just can’t believe it…’

‘Fine. It may take him five months to reach the Immortality Stage! I don’t have any problem!’

‘It suddenly becomes much faster, and he is going to reach the Immortality Stage in only over two months. Fine. I am fine. It is quite unacceptably fast, but I can understand. It is possible, isn’t it? I don’t mind!’

‘What annoys me is… ‘Even if I will reach the next stage safely, it still bothers me.’ That is so difficult to endure. Why does that still bother you if it is safe? What the hell do you want? Do you want to be a god in heavens?’

‘What about us?’

‘God… Heavens… Please… Have mercy… Strike this shameless folk to death with a bolt of lightning…’

“You became faster. How does that bother you? Why are you still bothered if it is safe?” Xuan Bing rolled up her eyes and said, “You are not showing off, are you?”

Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes and said, “Come on. You are so weak. I don’t want to show off in front of you! I can put you down with a stick!”

Xuan Bing blushed and pinched him on the waist.

There was something Ye Xiao didn’t know…

When he felt his improvement getting faster… people in the Dragon Unit, Rabbit Unit, Rooster Unit, and Ox Unit of the Monarch’s Hall improved faster as well!

When Ye Xiao built the Twelve Units, Ye Xiao collected the blood of the men in these units as Erhuo told him to.

Nobody thought much about it, because they only gave their blood to make vows. It was a common way to make vows in the martial world after all. One drop of blood didn’t matter to cultivators.

However, it turned out that blood mattered a great deal… These people all became twice faster in cultivating!
