Lord Xue Ying

The array diagrams on the second level pagoda were more profound. Xue Ying had to dissect them before he could analyze it. Even though he met some difficulties, he could comprehend them after spending a little more time. 1,000 years after he entered the second level, Xue Ying had comprehended eight of the array diagrams. During the juncture when he was comprehending the ninth array diagram, he suddenly trembled.

‘Fusion of three branches?’ Even though Xue Ying felt joy in his heart, he wasn’t surprised by his breakthrough.

One had to know, the Dao of Void contained nine branches. After stepping into the level-two Cosmos God Realm, most would progress really fast during the early period. It wasn’t hard to fuse three or four branches together, though it would only get more challenging over time. At the final ‘fusion between all nine branches’, this stage had hindered many absolute talents in the world.

With how deep his foundations were, and given that he had experienced the entire process from the blossoming of a ‘World Flower’ to its wither, and that it had been ten million years since his breakthrough, Xue Ying was able to smoothly fuse three branches together.

But…

‘It’s the array diagrams! Somehow as I studied them, I was able to get an inspiration that enabled me to cross the final bottleneck, fusing the Sky Phase, Earth Phase, and Empty Phase together.’ Xue Ying looked with delight and astoundment at the array diagrams inscribed on the pillar before him, ‘It seems that these array diagrams, other than being a form of test, they are in reality guiding me?’

The array diagrams were becoming more profound as Xue Ying proceeded upwards.

But precisely because of this, as he comprehended, his understanding of the Dao of Void would gradually deepen. His realm would also grow accordingly.

‘The Chaotic Origin Pagoda, other than being a trial, is also guidance for my cultivation!’ Xue Ying felt ecstatic.

The nine branches of the void.

Sky Phase, Earth Phase, Violent Phase, Mist Phase, Origin Phase, Empty Phase, Thread Phase, Poly Phase, and Nirvana Phase.

Like the <Arch Destruction> imparted to Xue Ying by the Southern Cloud King, its core was of the Empty Phase branch! Using the Empty Phase as a foundation, one would absorb the other four phases. Only then could one reach grand perfection realm. Naturally, Xue Ying relied on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body before he could unleash the technique at grand perfection power.

‘Continue!’

Xue Ying had just fused three branches together. Inspiration flowed down on him like a gushing spring. He let the avatar at his hometown Primal Chaos Void consolidate his realm while this avatar in the Realm Heart Great Land would continue studying these array diagrams.

The ninth and tenth array diagrams were easy. In reality, these two array diagrams were meant for guiding him on fusing the ‘Sky Phase’, ‘Earth Phase’, and ‘Empty Phase’ together. Now that he succeeded, comprehending the final two array diagrams was naturally simple.

‘Guiding my cultivation?’ Xue Ying felt incredibly excited. The reason why he had not discovered this point was that his foundation was too deep after cultivating in the World Flower. As a result, he rapidly understood the ten array diagrams on the first level without discovering how helpful they were. Furthermore, he was immersed in cultivation still on the second level without thinking too much about other things.

But when he broke through, he discovered that these array diagrams were extremely helpful towards fusing the three branches together!

‘The World Flower is an opportunity given to me by Luo City Lord. And presumably, according to his words, it should be the only opportunity which he would bestow upon me.’

‘The Chaotic Origin Pagoda is an opportunity only given to the Realm Heart Order holders once in a lifetime.’

‘These two great opportunities are only given once.’

Xue Ying was clear that this could possibly be the fastest stage of improvement for him during the Cosmos God Realm due to these opportunities! But it was good too! Because if he missed this chance, it would be unlikely for Xue Ying to find another chance to soar so quickly.

…

Time passed.

Within the Chaotic Origin Pagoda, Xue Ying focused entirely on cultivating and comprehending those array diagrams. His avatars in the two Origin Worlds did not relax at all either!

And in the Realm Heart Great Land, many experts that had entered the Realm Heart God Palace together were forced out of it.

Like one of the four participants that got a quota from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, ‘Mount Spring Island Master’, he had been forced out just 3,000 years or so after entering the Realm Heart God Palace! He was also the first of the 12 experts from Summer Wind Ancient Nation to come out.

And the second person came out after ten million years since the opening of Realm Heart God Palace. He was a level one Cosmos God from the Cang Clan, Summer Wind Ancient Nation, ‘Upper Wind Master’. Clearly, with the help of the Paragon Masters from the three great clans, it was quite amazing for a level one Cosmos God to last until now.

After that, more and more cultivators were forced out.

After about 50 million years later.

‘Great Paragon Lu Tian’ and ‘Fire Devil Paragon Master’ were both forced out at the same time.

At this moment, there were few from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation that remained in the Realm Heart God Palace. Other than Emperor Summer, Emperor Cang, and Great Paragon Fuyi, the remaining were Paragon Master Pu Su, Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, Monarch Wu Hua (Xia Wu Hua), and an Honored Guest, Monarch Flying Snow ‘Xue Ying’.

“It is fine for Monarch Wu Hua to remain inside since he is a core member of the Summer Clan and is likely to be a reincarnator. Furthermore, he has detailed intelligence and the shelter from the experts of the three great clans. But that Monarch Flying Snow has no detailed intelligence, and could only walk blindly. Even Fire Devil Paragon Master was forced out, yet he still remains inside?”

“Mount Spring Island Master is also an Honored Guest, yet he stayed for a short 3,000 years before being forced out.”

“He has been inside for 50 million years or so already?”

Most of those that entered the Realm Heart God Palace were experts from the six great ancient nations.

Naturally, the higher-ups from the six great ancient nations paid close notice to this. The other ancient nations were simply exclaiming in surprise at how long ‘Monarch Flying Snow’ had stayed inside for! And the higher-ups from the ‘Summer Wind Ancient Nation’ felt complex. According to logic, most of those that did not originate from the three great clans would not have stayed in the Realm Heart God Palace for so long, unlike what Xue Ying had done.

…

“Does my disciple know of some unknown yet formidable techniques? Is that the confidence to why he desired so greatly to enter the Realm Heart God Palace in the first place?” Southern Cloud King was also shocked.

It was not an easy task to stay inside for 50 million years.

“I hope that he becomes stronger.” Southern Cloud King frowned and felt bitter. Looking down at the scroll in his hands, “Ai, this teacher of mine is too crazy. It would likely affect my Southern Cloud Nation.”

He did not have any emotional ties with his teacher.

But that time, he had sworn and accepted his teacher for the sake of acquiring the ‘Twin Realm Blade’! This oath was quite harsh.

Most teachers would not demand too much from their disciples when they accepted them. Like in the past when he took in Xue Ying as his disciple, his requests were quite relaxed. Otherwise, Xue Ying would have turned to Ancestor Fan!

“I did not have a choice in the past.”

“The Twin Realm Blade is the best bet I had to change my fate. Furthermore, I thought he had fallen in the past.” Southern Cloud King shook his head.

This cheap teacher was too terrifying and evil. His name represented death.

The harsh requirements on the oath which his teacher fixed were in accordance to the way his teacher did things.

It’s only that his teacher had not died! He even came back to the Realm Heart Great Land.

“He wants so many special materials and in such huge amounts.” Southern Cloud King perused through the list of items written on the scroll, “Most of the materials are related to death. What exactly is he planning?”

Southern Cloud King felt fear and trepidation.

No other choice.

In the past, the name ‘Undying Underworld Emperor’ had frightened the entire Realm Heart Great Land! He was faintly the number one expert in the Realm Heart Great Land of the past! Of course, Emperor Summer wasn’t as strong in the past as compared to now. That time, Emperor Summer was only comparable to Emperor Cang and Ancestor Fan.

Undying Underworld Emperor depended on just himself, becoming enemies with many other unparalleled existences. He stirred up trouble in the entire Realm Heart Great Land, and that had been before the First War of the Ancient Nations.

“He had been acting so brazenly in the past. Now that eons have passed, his strength has become even more unfathomable. How would it be possible for him to stay low-profile all the way?” Southern Cloud King shook his head. Previously, he wished that Undying Underworld Emperor would die in the Broken Teeth Mountain Range after visiting it! What a pity that Undying Underworld Emperor had returned from the Broken Teeth Mountain Range alive, and even passing him a list of items.

Asking him to collect these materials.

Southern Cloud King felt bitter in his heart! He had been tied to this huge ship. Unless he was prepared for the consequences of disobeying the oath and to face the fury of Undying Underworld Emperor, otherwise, he could only obediently listen.

But if Undying Underworld Emperor chose to stir up another huge wave, with the strength of Undying Underworld Emperor, he could survive all danger. But the entire Southern Cloud Nation would be deluged by the shockwaves.

“I am truly annoyed.”

Southern Cloud King felt sullen.

He was a proud person!

Yet now, he could only endure it.

…

And in the Realm Heart God Palace.

Within the sixth level of the Chaotic Origin Pagoda, the white-robed young man Xue Ying currently sat cross-legged here meditating.
