Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao suddenly stopped.

He felt like his mind was floating in the middle of some mysterious space. He could dimly see a man in white clothes playing a sword. Countless enemies were defeated and slashed down on the floor. The mysterious man in white clothes was invincible.

In the end, the mysterious man stood straight up with his sword in his hand—staring at the world with disdain and sadness in his eyes.

Ye Xiao could feel the loneliness deep in that man’s heart.

Suddenly, a voice blared in his head.

“Take turns to be the Sky King. Now it is Hongchen’s turn!”

Ye Xiao was shocked by the powerful aura of that domineering man, even though he clearly knew that he was in a delusion. He felt that this man in white clothes was an almighty god who descended to the world to claim king!

He seemed to see the shadow of a big tough man in the sky, who had a pair of white feather wings waving up and down behind his back. The shadow of the man actually covered the entire sunny sky.

The man in the white clothes shouted and said, “Glaze Sky King!”

Then he abruptly jumped up and became a stream of shining light with his sword, rushing toward the man with wings.

All of a sudden, Ye Xiao lost it. All he saw was glaring light, and then all those things were gone.

The only impression he had, in the end, was the man in white clothes rushing up to the sky with the powerful sword of light—like a long rainbow stretching toward the sun and shining upon the world.

He was blank.

He was slowly waking up.

As he returned to himself, he realized that he was still in front of the City of Chaos.

All that he saw with his own eyes was like a dream he had while standing at the same place.

On the wall, the fourteen words were still there and seemed to be arrogant. But the power that had drawn him into the delusion was gone.

Ye Xiao sighed and muttered, “That isn’t right…”

As he thought of the last sword strike of the man in white clothes, he muttered out the words… “That isn’t right…”

However, he had no idea what exactly went wrong.

He clearly felt that he had received something, then learned something while he was in the delusion. It was like he had touched something. His spiritual mind, his soul, and his heart—were all improved greatly.

Even the spiritual power inside him became as powerful as that sword attack.

Over Ye Xiao’s head, there were two clouds of white fog rising up, but soon disappearing, leaving some shapes of a lotus in the air…

Ye Xiao had just silently broken through to a new level—level two of the Faery Origin Stage!

He couldn’t believe it. He was shocked.

‘I was in a daze for a while, and then I got a breakthrough?’

‘I don’t seem to ever heard of such ridiculous things.’

Maybe there weren’t any that he had seen, but he was an ignorant man who hadn’t seen much of the real world… Well, that was not true either. Ye Xiao was a boy with all splendid opportunities. He had met the true powerful figures in the universe; such as Ji Mo, the Wizard, Long, Feng, Saber, and Sword… He had seen their martial arts. However, he didn’t have a good eyesight, so he only saw a tiny bit of their real greatness. In fact, he thought he had seen all the great things already! Well, he was not even close!

In the delusion, he had gained a lot, and he could feel it. The man in the delusion was powerful but not as powerful as people like the Wizard and Ji Mo… Besides, Ye Xiao was much stronger than before after all. He was extremely much weaker than the man in the delusion, but he could still feel the power and get enlightened!

All in all, power decided all!

The Dark Evil Spirit who was standing behind him was totally shaken up. He was like a dumb duck that had been stricken by a bolt of lightning while standing there, staring at Ye Xiao’s back.

At this moment, he saw a white shadow on Ye Xiao.

It was domineering.

It was disdainful to mortality.

He was totally astonished to see it with his own eyes.

“Let’s get in the city.” Ye Xiao had returned to himself, so he said to the Dark Evil Spirit first.

As he said it; he got no response from the Dark Evil Spirit, so he turned around, but found that the Dark Evil Spirit was staring at him.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Xiao curiously asked.

For Ye Xiao, the Dark Evil Spirit was an experienced man who had been to the City of Chaos for many times. Besides, the Dark Evil Spirit was a powerful cultivator. Although the fourteen words might have some magical impact on people, he thought the Dark Evil Spirit wouldn’t be affected!

“The City of Chaos…” The Dark Evil Spirit looked blank and said like he was sleepwalking, “The invincible cultivator Ye Hongchen built this city on his own…

“The fourteen words on the wall… He wrote them himself…”

‘Ye Hongchen?’

Ye Xiao heard the name, and he was stunned, although he was sure he had never heard of the name before.

“Ye Hongchen…” Ye Xiao repeated it and said, “Ye…”

The Dark Evil Spirit was frightened. He stared at Ye Xiao with fear in his eyes. He was totally scared.

However, he didn’t know why he was so scared.

For what he had seen, Ye Xiao walked to this place and looked at the fourteen words, and then froze. It seemed Ye Xiao’s soul had gone beyond his body to the sky. It wasn’t a surprise. People all knew that when Ye Hongchen wrote the fourteen words, he left some of his spirit power into the words. Talented cultivators and the powerful cultivators would all sense the power inside the words. What shocked the Dark Evil Spirit was what happened after Ye Xiao looked at those words. He actually broke through the limit of the first level and reached the level two of the Faery Origin Stage!

That was a miracle!

‘Did he… Did he just get to an upper level just like that? One level of the Faery Origin Stage?’

‘What the hell… What is going on?’

The Dark Evil Spirit checked Ye Xiao’s cultivation level not long before. Ye Xiao was too weak to hide his real cultivation level from a powerful cultivator like the Dark Evil Spirit. He was level one of the Faery Origin Stage, and the Dark Evil Spirit knew it. However, now he became level two!

The Dark Evil Spirit kept thinking about several things… The City of Chaos was built by Ye Hongchen, the great cultivator of the Ye Clan… He had written the words on the wall… Ye Xiao was a young lord of the Ye Clan… He suddenly lost in a daze, and then suddenly reached an upper level…

The domineering white shadow on Ye Xiao’s body…

The Dark Evil Spirit felt that he had witnessed a miracle.

He was sure it was a miracle.

Although he didn’t know what exactly the miracle was, or what it meant to the world—he was sure that it was a miracle.

When he looked at Ye Xiao again, his eyes were full of fever, like he was looking at the most valuable treasure in the world!

He suddenly had an idea. ‘Maybe this is not a hot potato. Perhaps, I am granted a great opportunity… Maybe I am!’

‘Not maybe… I am sure I am!’
