Realms In The Firmament

Li Wuliang and Xue Danru buried the old man, and they continued cultivating at the bottom of the cliff. They were mastering the true power of the old man.

It was their fate, and it was what they needed. If Ye Xiao got this martial art by coincidence, he wouldn’t want the energy and the martial art from the old man because it would waste him much time and energy. The old man’s martial art didn’t fit him.

When a man poured his energy into another person’s body, he must be stronger than the other person. Otherwise, the person who got the new energy would be impacted by the weaker martial art, which might eventually cause stagnation of the cultivation. That was why it was always the masters pouring energy into the disciple’s body…

If the old man poured his energy to Ye Xiao, that would be a mess. First of all, they were cultivating two totally different martial arts. Ye Xiao’s East-rising Purple Qi was magnificent, and it was definitely much better than the old man’s martial art. If the old man poured his energy into Ye Xiao’s body, it would influence the East-rising Purple Qi in Ye Xiao’s body. It was also possible that the East-rising Purple Qi might have a reverse impact on Ye Xiao, and that might kill Ye Xiao immediately. The old man was never able to handle such a dangerous situation!

Even if the old man successfully poured the energy into Ye Xiao’s body, Ye Xiao only got a little better than nothing. He would have to spend time and energy to solve the contradiction between his martial art and the old man’s energy! That always turned out to be a disadvantage more than an advantage!

The old man didn’t cultivate the same martial art with Li Wuliang or Xue Danru either.

However, because the old man was such an experienced cultivator, he knew what the problem was. In the beginning, he thought he could spend a few years to teach the couple his special martial art, so when he poured the energy into them, everything would be fine. Hopefully, the couple would receive thirty percent of the old man’s prime power. However, when he saved the couple, he was severely damaged. He didn’t have a long time to live anymore, so he gave the couple a book of his martial art. As long as the couple started cultivating his martial art, they would also be fine!

However, the old man didn’t know that Li Wuliang was not an ordinary cultivator. When he was at the bottom of the Sky Soul Precipice, he ate some Ghost Ganoderma. He had been living under the agony of the two extreme energies for two years. His body was more flexible than any human being, which meant that he could handle any kind of energy in the world. Even Ye Xiao was impressed. Therefore, Li Wuliang got more energy than the old man expected. Over fifty percent of the old man’s energy was taken by Li Wuliang in full amount. On the other hand, Xue Danru only took five percent!

The couple had taken over sixty percent of the old man’s energy. It had broken a record already. The old man didn’t have time to talk much, but he knew he had done the right thing by giving the couple his martial art and power! When he died, he died with a smile!

However… Li Wuliang had taken the old man’s power, but he didn’t master it. The couple read the book, and they both came to the same conclusion. The old man’s martial art wasn’t outstanding. The old man had cultivated a long time, so he was incredibly powerful. However, the old man’s martial art was not better than Xue Danru’s Extreme Ice Art. It wasn’t even better than Li Wuliang’s martial art. Li Wuliang could handle the massive power from the old man, so he could take time to absorb the energy bit by bit. He reckoned he didn’t have to cultivate the old man’s martial art.

They made the decision. In one year, they both focused on cultivating. In the end, they both reached the seventh level of the Saint Origin Stage. That was shockingly fast!

In fact, Li Wuliang alone had taken fifty percent of the old man’s power, and he could have reached level nine. Xue Danru wanted him to do so, but he decided to share the power with his wife. He wanted them both to be great.

Li Wuliang said, “We share the pain, and we share the joy too!”

When the two of them completely absorbed the power, they started to try to climb up to the top of the Snow God Cliff. Li Wuliang was experienced because he had run away from the Sky Soul Precipice before. The Snow God Cliff blocked his spiritual energy, but he could still use life energy. Besides, he had a strong body, which was tough and strong. As he expected, after a few days, they finally got up to the top of the Snow God Cliff. Finally, people returned from the bottom of the Snow God Cliff!

They killed their way back to the clan, who had hunted them down. It was their revenge.

The clan wasn’t a weak one. The fight didn’t end quickly. It lasted for a long time. As the fight went on, the couple improved even more. The clan was almost torn apart by the couple. The clan sent for some powerful men to help, but Li Wuliang killed most of them.

This was the end of the battle.

Li Wuliang’s laughs were like thunderclaps. His Fierce Saber was like the tooth of a demon. It was glittering in the fight. As it glittered, several enemies died. Li Wuliang’s impossible-to-miss saber technique was an excellent show in the fight. Whoever was hit died with their blood splashing to the air.

As he had improved a great deal, these enemies meant nothing to him. The Impossible-to-miss saber technique became more and more horrible.

He kept rushing out and back in the besiegement again and again.

After going around a few times, he laughed wildly and left with his beloved wife.

“When I come back, each and everyone in your stupid f*cking clan will lose their life under my blade! Hah hah hah…”

Before his laugh stopped, they had already disappeared in the glittering light of the saber.

The people of the clan were defeated. They looked at each other; they couldn’t believe what just happened.

They didn’t understand. The couple should be much weaker. It had been only a little more than one year, and they had actually improved so much! They were wondering how Li Wuliang made sure his saber attack never missed its target. ‘How did he do that?’

Nobody had ever returned from the bottom of the Snow God Cliff alive. They wondered how did the couple do it!

Li Wuliang and Xue Danru rested on a hillside. They were going to rest for some time and then return to wipe out the clan once and for all. However, they saw several men fleeing for their lives from somewhere far away as if some monsters were chasing after them…

Li Wuliang shouted and said, “Hey, guys! Stop! Why are you fleeing like this? Is there a ghost chasing after you?”

One of them said with a pale face, “A ghost? A ghost would be much better… Nobody is afraid of any ghost… The man… The One Meter Higher Sky… He is much more horrible than a ghost… He is death…”

“The One Meter Higher Sky? Death?” Li Wuliang was curious, so he stopped other ones to ask.

The men were terrified, but they all sensed the incredible power of the couple, so they stopped and told Li Wuliang everything they knew.

Li Wuliang heard the description of the man who was called the One Meter Higher Sky, and his eyes lit up.

“The One Meter Higher Sky? He is the Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao, isn’t he?” Li Wuliang was thrilled. “Where is he?”
