Divine God Against The Heavens

_Heavenly Pearl_

Inside the Heavenly Pearl, Ye Xiao was standing in front of the Nine Story Pagoda. He was looking at the third floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

Now that he had already created his third dragon, The Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon, the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda was now opened. He could enter and exit the third floor as he wishes.

Previously, he did not check what was inside the third floor of the Nine Story Pagoda because he was somewhat busy with many things. And it could be also said that Ye Xiao almost forgot about the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

After travelling for many days, Ye Xiao once again returned to the White Tiger Empire. Although he did not go to the Canglan City yet, he planned to go there after some time.

After arriving at the Imperial City of the White Tiger Empire, Ye Xiao found an inn and booked a room for two nights. Then he entered the Heavenly Pearl and now, he was standing in front of the Nine Story Pagoda.

Ye Xiao entered the Nine Story Pagoda and appeared on the First Floor. Then he arrived at the Third Floor and entered. Instantly, he appeared in a strange world.

The moment Ye Xiao arrived in this strange world, his attention was attracted by the scene in front of him, or it could be said that his attention was fully focused on the ground beneath his feet!

Beneath Ye Xiao's feet was a lush and verdant grassland. A little further away, there was a huge ancient tree that was as tall as a hundred meters and as thick as the arms of dozens of people quietly grew on the ground. It was surrounded by dense fog and looked extremely hazy.

"Where is this? Is this the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly then he closed his eyes, and subconsciously activated the Third Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

Immediately, all around him suddenly appeared many terrifying specks of light, instantly surrounding Ye Xiao's body!

"Ah... It hurts!" Ye Xiao could not help but shout the moment those specks of light touched his body.

In the next moment, Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and found himself on a bed!

It was still the same room. He was still sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. There was nothing wrong with his body.

However, a large amount of sweat continued to drip down from his body which was extremely strange.

"What just happened?" Ye Xiao's eyes still showed signs of fear.

Just now at the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, Ye Xiao only wanted to feel nature's spirit energy inside, but as soon as he activated his cultivation technique, what seemed like a terrifying amount of pure energy directly wrapped around his body and almost ruptured his body.

Ye Xiao had never seen this strange situation before. Even when he was training at the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda where time was extremely slow compared to the outside world, Ye Xiao was sure that there was no such thing as boundless and pure Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, Ye Xiao's cultivation would have gone up by another level!

Ye Xiao made a decision to again enter the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

The next moment!

Ye Xiao's eyes blurred and when he opened his eyes once again, he had already reappeared on the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

In the distance, a huge verdant tree that was exuding a vigorous life force was swaying slowly in the wind, as if it was cheering for Ye Xiao's arrival.

"What kind of place is this?" Ye Xiao squinted his eyes and began to seriously look around this place.

After a while, Ye Xiao revealed a shocked expression. He tried to feel the spirit energy here but was shocked. He exclaimed excitedly: "This is not ordinary nature spirit energy, but the purest heaven and earth true essence. What is floating in the air around me is actually the true essence of heaven and earth, this… Isn't this too terrifying?"

True Essences was something he got to from the memories of the three ancient gods. He never came in contact with the True Essences so he did not know much about it. But right now, he was surrounded with the True Essence of Heaven and Earth.

True Essences are also spirit energies but they were much purer than spirit energies.

Ye Xiao immediately went through the memories of the three ancient gods and an extremely shocked expression appeared on his face.

He got to know that True Essences are something that can only be found in the air of the Upper Realm. Even in the Upper Realm, only a very few places could produce the True Essence. It was very rare to find the True Essence of Heaven and Earth even in the Upper Realm.

As for the Lower Realm, there are only spirit energies here. True Essences could not be found anywhere in the Lower Realm.

No martial artist below the Immortal Foundation Realm could absorb the True Essence in their bodies. They could only absorb the spirit energy from heaven and earth.

If a martial artist below the Immortal Foundation Realm were to absorb the True Essence, their bodies will be unable to endure and will explode. Only an Immortal has the physique strong enough to endure the terrifying might brought by the True Essences.

Anyone who could absorb the True Essence, their cultivation will increase much faster. It has very fewer impurities than the spirit energies or it could be said that True Essences has almost no impurities as it is the purest form of the energy of Heaven and Earth. Even the spirit energy contained in the high-grade spirit stones is not comparable to that of the heaven and earth True Essences!

However, it was extremely difficult for heaven and earth's true essence to absorb and extract. If one's cultivation is lower than the Immortal Foundation Realm, it is simply impossible for them to absorb the true essence. If one wanted to completely absorb and grasp the use of heaven and earth's true essence, it was only possible by becoming an Immortal.

Otherwise, even a Martial Saint Realm martial artist's body would explode and he would die.

Ye Xiao subconsciously absorbed a bit of True Essence previously and he felt like his body was going to explode. It was fortunate that his body was much stronger than his peers because of his cultivation technique, the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique otherwise, even with that little amount of True Essences that he absorbed, his body would have exploded into countless pieces.

The Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda was filled with the True Essence of heaven and earth. If he could absorb and refine the True Essences here, it was unknown how much and how faster his cultivation will increase?

With so many heavens and earth's true essence here, as long as Ye Xiao absorbed them carefully, he was sure that it would not be long before he breaks through to the Martial Saint Realm or even become an Immortal.

But the problem now was how to absorb the True Essences? Even though the heaven and earth's true essence here was incomparably huge, he could only helplessly stand there. He did not want to absorb them carelessly otherwise his body will explode.

After hesitating for a bit, Ye Xiao did not attempt to absorb the True Essences here. He decided to wait... wait to the first breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm before attempting to absorb the True Essences here.

There was not much information about True Essences as they were still locked because of his lack of strength.

After ignoring the True Essences, Ye Xiao looked at the thick tree at distance.

He looked curiously at the tree and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this tree was strange.

Ye Xiao walked forward toward the tree but he was again shocked because no matter how long he walked, the distance between him and the tree remained the same.

It also confirmed his previous guess. This tree was really strange.

Helpless, Ye Xiao looked at this place for one last time and then exited the Nine Story Pagoda. Then he also exited the Heavenly Pearl and appeared in his room.

"Knock! Knock!"

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

Ye Xiao stood up and opened the door. A handsome young man and the attendant of the inn were standing in front of his room.

"Do you need anything?" asked Ye Xiao.

"This guest here, can you please empty this room. He is the younger brother of Young Master Yue Lao and needs this room for his friend." The attendant asked Ye Xiao to empty the room while pointing at the handsome young man.

Ye Xiao frowned his brows. He looked at the handsome young man beside the attendant who was the younger brother of Yue Lao.
