Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao didn’t know how Zong Yuankai and Wu Fa felt when they ate the fruits. When he checked inside himself, he found some remarkable changes happening. All could be concluded as enormous benefits with low costs! No wonder the demons would use the fruits as their baits!

For a man, power was the most attractive thing.

The absolute power was much more precious than money or beauty.

In fact, a man with power could get as much money or beauties as he wanted!

If a man was not powerful enough, no matter how much money he had, he could have been robbed!

How many people in the world actually could resist the temptation of strong power?

During the breaking process, endless impure materials were oozing out on his skins. This impurity could not be driven out of one’s body even under the efficacy of any supreme dan beads. Now, because of the power of the fruits, it was removed once and for all.

When the fruit was working, his body was becoming the so-called Pure Body.

Ye Xiao knew that a Pure Body would only exist for a short time. Nobody could remain a Pure Body forever.

A man had to eat. There would always be impure materials inside the body. Even when a man breathed, he inhaled the impurity. However, if a cultivator’s body became Pure Body when he was breaking through, it would significantly boost his improvement.

It would bring him some unpredictable advantages for his future.

As time passed by, Ye Xiao closed his eyes and quietly sat there. He was observing himself as if he was somebody else. He was sensing his own breath. He clearly felt every bit of the improvement taking place every second.

Level three of Dao Origin Stage, reached!

Level four, reached! Rose! Peaked! Broke through!

Level five… Broke through!

Level six… Broke Through!

Level seven…

Level eight…

Erhuo was observing it too. It was combing its whiskers and absorbing the enormous amount of unique spiritual qi at the same time!

The spiritual qi was from the fruits! Erhuo used to miss it in the old days, but now it was getting it as it wished!

This unique spiritual qi was the reason why the fruits could have such stunningly marvelous efficacy!

The spiritual qi gave the fruits such power, but the qi itself was useless to ordinary beings. Human or demon couldn’t make use of it in any way. When a man was breaking through after eating the fruits, such spiritual qi would be emitted!

Once the spiritual qi was emitted, it would return to the nature of the universe. After that, nobody could find it anymore!

However, Erhuo was absorbing all of the spiritual qi that was emitting from Ye Xiao! It was taking it all into itself!

Ye Xiao was breaking through, and the unique spiritual qi was filling the Boundless Space. Erhuo surely wouldn’t hesitate to take all of it into its stomach.

Aside from the unique spiritual qi, Ye Xiao was emitting a special power at the same time, which was invisible. A pair of the fruits contained more energy than a low-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator needed to become a peak-level one. What Ye Xiao needed to reach the peak of level nine was less than half of the total energy in the pair of fruits. The rest of the energy would be converted into that special power and be emitted out of his body!

Ye Xiao had an extraordinary mindset and marvelous martial arts, he still couldn’t digest all the energy inside the fruits. The energy that he couldn’t absorb would be left outside his body!

However, that particular power was a great profit for Erhuo!

Erhuo closed its eyes and enjoyed the moment, absorbing the spiritual qi into its body, and converting it into a part of itself…

[Such spiritual qi is exactly what I need right now… If I can have one hundred times more… I will reach a higher level for sure…] Erhuo was thinking, [Then I will be level two…]

The Golden-scale Golden-caruncle Snakes were looking at it with jealousness…

[Damn it… We want a little bit of that unique spiritual qi as well… Sob Sob… Chief is taking it all… It is not going to leave any to us…]

[It seems before it was full, it won’t give us any…]

[Well, nobody will feel full when eating such kind of spiritual qi…]

[It will keep swallowing… until death stops it…]

- Pah! -

Ye Xiao suddenly spat a mouthful of blood. The blood was extremely red. When it splashed on the floor, it didn’t turn dry, but emitted the glow of a red-color gem!

After he spat out the blood, a vortex of spiritual qi showed up over his head, near his Baihui Acupuncture point…

After a while, another vortex appeared…

Stunning changes were taking place inside his body, and in the end, nine vortexes appeared in total over his head, like nine tiny tornados spinning.

The nine vortexes didn’t conflict with each other. As time passed by, the vortexes were expanding… It meant the nine tiny tornados were getting close to each other. Some of them started to become one. In the end, there were four vortexes left. The four vortexes didn’t stop expanding. Two in a group, they became two bigger vortexes, but that was also not the end… They were still expanding…

In the end, when the two vortexes became one, the vortex suddenly stopped spinning. At first, it was like a ring of white smoke, and then suddenly blossomed like a lotus.

It was right beyond the top of Ye Xiao’s head!

As the spiritual energy was running faster inside Ye Xiao, the lotus started to shine in a saintly glow, gradually lit up the entire Boundless Space…

…

Ye Xiao kept concentrated on running the energy, digesting every bit of the power as much as he could. He knew that this was the critical moment. He felt like the energy inside him was going to burst out. That was exactly the feeling he used to have when he was still Xiao Monarch.

Even though deep inside him, he was still Xiao Monarch, if he didn’t truly digest the power, he wasn’t!

Most importantly, Ye Xiao knew that this was not the end.

Xiao Monarch was the highest point he had ever been, but there were many more powerful levels beyond that!

He kept running the spiritual energy. The energy was like a waterfall. The energy flows were no longer forward gradually. Instead, they were wildly running inside his Jing and Mai like unstoppable torrents.
