Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao was stunned, and then after a while, he said, ”Do you mean the man who used to take the first pair of Divine Yin Yang Fruit? The initiator of West Hall, Zong Yuankai? Well, if he were alive, he could probably do it, since he knew so well about the fruits that place. However, he is dead…”

Han Bingxue laughed wickedly and said, ”Well, who knows whether Zong Yuankai is truly dead or not? It is a myth after all. However, I know one thing… I am pretty sure that Wu Fa, who claims to be invincible in the world has never made any troubles in West Hall!”

Ye Xiao was shocked.

The man in the dark frowned, but still followed them silently.

He looked doubtful in his eyes, but he wouldn’t just give up following these two guys.

He was still determined.

Ye Xiao was helpless. He was quite confident that what he and Han Bingxue had just said could make anybody give up on following them. However, unexpectedly, that man was still there.

[Why?]

[Is he somebody else? Am I wrong?]

”Brother Han, I think that white shadow looked pretty weird. Don’t you think so?” Ye Xiao said. That was an abrupt change of topic.

Han Bingxue was confused, but he still nodded to act in concert with Ye Xiao. In fact, he was freaking out in his head, but he had to answer, ”Of course… That was not weird. That was incredibly fast! Holy hell!”

Ye Xiao lightly nodded and flew around a big tree to get into another piece of forest. Then he nodded and said, ”I feel that… the white shadow is abnormal… But I can’t tell how it is different. It just felt weird…”

That was such an abrupt topic. Han Bingxue had to think hard about how to continue. The man who was following them was shocked. He was also lost in thoughts. [What is so weird about that white shadow? What is so abnormal about it?]

Now the man’s head started to run in the flow the was designed by Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao hurriedly urged Erhuo in Boundless Space, ”Erhuo, if I eat the fruits, can I regain my prime status, or even become stronger? I have a mindset of a top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator after all!”

Erhuo meowed lazily and rolled up its eyeballs to Ye Xiao.

”A cultivator who eats the fruits can be boosted to the top level of Dao Origin Stage. That is true. The more powerful the cultivator’s mindset is, the shorter time the transition takes. In fact, a worse mindset will take longer and harder time. However… there is no perfect way to instantly boost one’s cultivation. The fruits are not perfect either… There is a special demonic attribute in the fruits… That is why it doesn’t work on those demons but boost a human cultivator to the topmost level of the initial stages…”

Ye Xiao frowned and said, ”What? The topmost level of the initial stages? Do you mean the top level of Dao Origin Stage?”

”That’s not the point. Focus on the fruits, dude! The demonic attribute in the fruits might cause a significant impact on a man’s sanity… He would unnoticeably follow the mind flows of demons, and eventually become a tool of the demons… The fruits are something the demons planted to create more demons… That’s all… This is the real reason why I would destroy all their trees. Do you really think I am that narrow-minded? Why would I bother destroying so many trees just because of having loose bowels?

”Think about it, why would all these fruits grow in the Demon’s Realm? Why couldn’t it grow in other worlds such as Qing-Yun Realm?”

Erhuo lazily played with the fruits. It was a bit upset about having a dull master. [Look at you. Yet I am the one who is being called Erhuo.]

”What? Do you mean I can’t eat that?”

Ye Xiao was stunned.

[Holy hell! After all that we have done, now you are telling me I can’t eat that!]

[After such making vast chaos, I got something that looks good but is completely useless? What the hell?]

”Meow meow meowwww…” Erhuo talked and made gestures again.

’What are you talking about? Completely useless? Things all have two sides, one is good while the other is evil. What we need is to erase the demonic attribute in these fruits. You can only eat the good parts of them!’

”Is it complicated to erase the thing? How long does it take? Master Kitty, you are the foremost spirit in chaos! I know you can do it very soon!” Ye Xiao said with hope.

Erhuo replied gloatingly and proudly, ”Absolutely! Who am I? I am awesome! Three days is all I need! How about that? Stunningly fast, isn’t it?”

[Three days!]

[Three days?]

Well, it was honestly not long, considering how complex the word was!

However… Ye Xiao cursed in his head. He was totally hopeless now… It would only take him three breaths to kill himself thirty thousand times…

[Three days? You fxcking need three days?]

[It is stunningly fast, but also stunningly hopeless and depressing! How could you even gloat and feel proud on this…]

”If you don’t mind becoming a tool of the demons, you can just eat them now. You eat them, and you become the best Dao Origin Stage cultivator. No kidding. You made the call. Nobody is standing in your way; Don’t you think? My dear master!” Erhuo combed its whiskers and waved its little white paw lazily.

Ye Xiao was totally broken down. He awkwardly retreated from the Space.

Sometimes one had to take the bad consequence for the current good. However, he believed there was still time to think of other solution. Even if he ate the fruits, despite the possible danger in the future to solve the problem ahead of him, he might not be able to have a positive outcome eventually. The fruits could instantly make him become a top-level Dao Origin Stage Cultivators indeed, but Wu Fa was also a man who was boosted by the fruits. Besides, he might survive the fight against Wu Fa after eating the fruits, but what about Han Bingxue? Should he let Han Bingxue eat the fruits and take the risk too? They might both fall in the midway of the path of cultivation!

All in all, to eat the fruits was the worst solution! He decided to wait!

Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue were already seven hundred miles away from Heaven’s Terrace. The man who was following them was still like the worm in the rotten meat to them. They couldn’t call for the golden hawk since they were tailed after.

Before the hawk landed, the two of them might be chopped into parts.

What else could they do?

”Brother Han, we are quite far away now. Do you think we can take a rest for a while?” Ye Xiao chose to stop at the highest spot in a clear field. He said, ”I am exhausted after moving for a long time.”

Han Bingxue looked confused in the eyes for a few seconds, and then he was enlightened. [It seems the problem remains unsolved. We have to keep playing this. This is not a long way to come. Ye Xiao or I, both won’t be tired at any point. How is it possible that he is exhausted?]
