Chapter 59 Ch 59: Explanation
Ye Xiao looked at him and smiled but this time, Mu Chen felt as if a demon was smiling at him.
"No..no, wait, wait a moment please. Let me out and I will give you many benefits." Mu Chen was already very scared. He wanted to give some benefits to Ye Xiao in order to live but Ye Xiao didn't even looked at him again.
You want to give me benefits. How can a broken soul like you can give me benefits.
I already have Heavenly Pearl, I don't need your little things.
"Devour!"
"Roar!"
Ye Xiao used the power of Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and suddenly a dragon roar sounded out in his sea of consciousness.
Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, whose eyes was closed suddenly opened its eyes which was of golden colour and then opened his mouth. Mu Chen, who was still begging to Ye Xiao, was pulled into the mouth of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon by some sort of suction force.
Ye Xiao suddenly felt his soul becoming slightly stronger and then he felt that his cultivation was increasing at the rapid pace.
Early Fourth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Middle Fourth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Late Fourth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
...
...
Early Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Ye Xiao's cultivation finally stopped increasing after reaching the Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
"How can this be? My cultivation grew this much after devouring the soul of Mu Chen. Is it really possible to increase my cultivation by devouring the soul of someone? But my soul also become strong. How?" Ye Xiao felt confused, very confused.
He was not able to find the answer so he threw his questions on the back of his head. He suddenly remembered that a fight was still going on outside so he immediately came back to his sense only to see Li Yun and his other four companion was looking at him as if looking at a monster.
Ye Xiao again felt confused and then his gaze fell upon three dried corpses. These three corpses were really fully dried up. There was nothing left on the body of the corpses. Ye Xiao found these corpses familiar and suddenly as if he remembered something. He shouted out loud, "This is the corpse of the scar face and his two companions."
Ye Xiao didn't understand what was happening here so he looked at Li Yun and his group with a questioning look.
"You...really don't know what happened here?" Li Yun looked at with a questioning look on his face.
"If I knew anything about this, do you think I would ask you what happened here?" Ye Xiao looked at Li Yun with some anger because of the behaviour of the guys in front of him.
"So you really don't know about this!" Li Yun again said something that annoyed Ye Xiao even more.
"Ok, ok. I'll tell you." Li Yun hurriedly said when he saw Ye Xiao's annoyed face.
"Actually, after you blocked the attack of that scar face, he again tried to attack you but suddenly the incoming pressure grew up once more. We all fell upon our knees to the ground. But when the scar face looked at your absent minded face, he tried to take advantage of this opportunity so he gestured at his two companions who was near you and the three of them struggled to stand up and move towards you. The pressure was very terrifying. So much so that the three of them didn't have the strength to attack you with their weapons so they attacked you with their fists but exactly at that moment, when their fists touched you, they became like this, completely dried up corpses. And when the other companions of the scar face saw what happened to them, they all ran away. We are already very tired and didn't have any strength left so, we didn't try to stop them." Li Yun explained.
"Oh!, so this is what happened here." Ye Xiao said after realizing what happened there. He also understood why his cultivation increased so much in this short amount of time.
"So, my cultivation increased not because of the soul of Mu Chen but because of these three. The soul of Mu Chen only helped me to strengthen my soul. When Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was devouring the soul of Mu Chen, it also devoured these three young man's cultivation and energy, turning them into dried up corpses. And only because of this, my cultivation increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm from the Third Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm."
Ye Xiao now understood everything that happened here.
"Brother Ye, can you...tell me what exactly happened at that moment?" Li Yun hesitated for a moment but eventually asked what he wanted to find out about.
"Eh! nothing. I mean...I don't know. Maybe, all of this happened because of this sword." Ye Xiao found it difficult to answer but then if he does not answered the question that Li Yun asked, it will make Li Yun suspicious of him. And it was the last thing that Ye Xiao wanted to happen after all this was related to the secret of Heavenly Pearl. So he hurriedly made a story which was half true.
"Related to this sword?" Li Yun and his companions looked confused when they heard what Ye Xiao said.
"Yes, related to this sword." Ye Xiao nodded his head and continued, "Have you heard about the tomb that appeared in the forest near Riverside City?"
"Yes, we have heard about this tomb but we didn't go there because we heard that there was a lot of danger inside the tomb. Wait a minute, don't tell me you...?" Li Yun nodded his head and when he was replying to Ye Xiao, he suddenly realised something and looked at Ye Xiao in surprise.
