Divine God Against The Heavens

It took Ye Xiao full eleven hours to successfully refine the Sun Immortal Golden Pill.

After refining the pill, Ye Xiao came out of the Universe in his mind. Then he directly went to Yue Ying and gave her all the pills he had refined except for the Sun Immortal Golden pill.

He also told her to cultivate well and increase her strength. He didn't know how long he had been gone after the beginning of the first round of competition. So, he also gave her more than ten million Middle-Grade Immortal Stones. He also told her that he was going to cultivate in seclusion and when he'll come out, it'll be the time of the Competition.

He didn't have time to spend with her. He had to increase his cultivation. And after the start of the competition, he'll be gone for a long time. He had already given her many pills, enough for her to cultivate for an entire year, but if she needed, these ten million Middle-Grade Immortal Stones should be enough for Yue Ying to buy all the resources for her cultivation. She can also buy something else. It was up to Yue Ying how she'll spend these many Immortal Stones.

Anyway, he was not lacking Immortal Stones in the slightest.

Yue Ying was shocked when she saw Ye Xiao taking out so many Immortal Stones. At first, she wanted to refuse but seeing Ye Xiao's firm gaze, she chose to accept the Immortal Stones he was giving.

Yue Ying was reluctant to part with Ye Xiao but she and Ye Xiao, both had no choice. They had to part no matter how unwilling they were.

.....

_Five Days Later_

On the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, a small whirlpool could be seen. This small whirlpool was formed in front of a young man and was sucking countless white particles in the air with incredible speed.

The young man's aura was also rising rapidly. It was becoming stronger and stronger as time passed.

"BOOM!"

After some time, an explosive sound came out from inside Ye Xiao's body, and his aura sky-rocket. The white particles began to enter the whirlpool at an even more terrifying speed.

Ye Xiao was devouring the True Essence at this moment at the rate where the small whirlpool took the form of a storm and Ye Xiao was the core of this storm.

Moreover, if anyone were to see right now, they could see the storm slowly being swallowed by Ye Xiao. The storm began to weaken and two hours later, the storm was completely swallowed by Ye Xiao.

It was at this time Ye Xiao opened his eyes.

A brilliant light flashed in his eyes the moment he opened his eyes.

"Finally, I have broken through to the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm!" Ye Xiao muttered with a big smile on his face.

If not for True Essence on the Third Floor, Ye Xiao believed that even with the help of Sun Immortal Golden Pill, it would have taken him more than a year of closed-door seclusion to break through to the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm.

From this, the difference between True Essence and Spirit Energy could be seen.

Ye Xiao sighed.

What Ye Xiao could not understand was, how was Lin Hao able to break through to the Late Stage Immortal King Realm in these few short years.

Although Lin Hao ascended to the Upper Realm more than three years before him, still this amount of time shouldn't be enough for him to become a Late Stage Immortal King Realm martial artist. Even though his master was an Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist and provided him with many resources, it still shouldn't be possible for Lin Hao to advance by leaps and bounds.

Ye Xiao guessed that he must have encountered some fortune and was able to raise his cultivation to the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm.

As for Su Xue Er who was able to break through to the Early Stage of Immortal King Realm in such a short period of time, Ye Xiao believed it must be related to the inheritance she received from the ancestor of the Xiao Family and also from her Holy Beasts Bloodline that had become so denser that it had far surpassed her peers, causing her talent to soar.

Moreover, she told him in the letter that she had already gone to the Xiao Family and was not being carefully nurtured by the second Grandson of the ancestor of the Xiao Family who was also an Ancient Immortal Realm martial artist.

He was nurturing Su Xue Er with a motive, so the resources he was providing Su Xue Er with were not something anyone could receive. With her talent and endless resource, it was not impossible for her to become an Early Stage Immortal King Realm martial artist.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and went to take a shower. He had been in closed-door seclusion for five whole days and had not taken a bath. After breaking through to the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm, his body forced out some of the waste from his body, causing his body to cover in thick black-coloured mud.

Ye Xiao could not bear the stench coming out from his body so he immediately went to take a bath.

After cleaning his body, he went out of his room to meet Yue Ying but he was surprised to see that Yue Ying was not present inside her room.

Frowning, Ye Xiao called out a worker of the inn and asked about Yue Ying. He replied that he had not seen her for two days.

After asking around, Ye Xiao found out that Yue Ying had made friends with the youngest lady of the Xing Family. Right now, she has gone somewhere with that girl.

Ye Xiao suddenly remembered about Xing Fehua whom he met when he went to the Trade Fair. At that time, since Yue Ying and Xing Fehua were the only girls in the group, they spent time together, and very soon they became friends.

It was not bad for Yue Ying to make some friends. After he was gone, she would not find herself alone. She could go to find Xing Fehua and ease her mood whenever she'll feel bored.

Tomorrow, the Competition of Myriad World was going to start. The First Round of this competition would send Ye Xiao and other participants to many different Demon World. Although Ye Xiao was confident he could deal with most of the Demons who came to hunt him down, what about the Dao Manifestation Realm demons?

Ye Xiao believed he could deal with Early Stage Ancient Immortal Realm demons, but what about the Middle and Late Stage Ancient Immortal Realm Demons?

Ye Xiao could not think of any solution to deal with them. But he still didn't have any fear on his face. The thing on his face was urgency, the urgency to increase his cultivation so that he would no longer have any worry about how to face Ancient Immortal Realm and Dao Manifestation Realm demons or Demonic Cultivators.

.....

_Double Sword Pavilion_

After an hour later, Ye Xiao was standing opposite the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land. The Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land was looking at Ye Xiao with a frown on his face. But inside his heart, he was praising Ye Xiao's guts and his decision.

The old man said, "So, you have decided to not take a step back. You'll participate in this competition, you are sure about it!"

"Yes!" Ye Xiao replied with a firm expression on his face. His face didn't change just because this old man was frowning.

"Very good!" The old man nodded in satisfaction. Then he took out a token and gave it to Ye Xiao before saying, "If you encounter any higher leveled demon such as Ancient Immortal Demons and Dao Manifestation Realm Demons, inject your spirit energy inside this token and activate it. My incarnation will appear and help you out of that dangerous situation!"

Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this. He could not understand why this old man was giving him this kind of support.

Honestly, neither this old man nor Ye Xiao knew each other. Then why, exactly why was this old man so good to him?

Since Ye Xiao couldn't understand, he asked the old man, "Senior, can you tell me why you are so good to me? You even gave me such a life-saving treasure, there must be a reason behind it, right? Can you tell me the reason?"

The Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land kept looking at Ye Xiao for some time. Then he said, "Obviously, there is a reason why I'm helping you and even gave you such a huge benefit that not even the next-in-line successor of my Double Sword Sacred Land could get easily!"

"Consider it as my investment in you. I want something from you but there is still time. After you'll return from the Demon World, you'll eventually come to know. For now, focus on the First Round of the Competition!"
