Chapter 224 Ch 224: Major Saint Realm
After realizing his past mistakes, Ye Xiao focused on his cultivation once again. This time, he didn't pay much attention to the red-robed man who kept watching him. He focused on his cultivation.
Another five years flowed by like a river of time, carrying with it the trials, challenges, and relentless dedication of Ye Xiao's cultivation journey. The once-rugged stone platform where he had sat now bore the marks of his unwavering determination, etched by the countless hours spent in focused practice.
Ye Xiao's cultivation had evolved during these years, his mastery of the Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra deepening with each passing day. His control over the Dark Force had grown more refined, and his body had undergone subtle transformations. His eyes were once clouded with uncertainty, now shone with a newfound confidence, a reflection of the progress he had made.
Throughout these years, the red-robed man had remained a silent observer, his presence was like an ever-constant backdrop to Ye Xiao's efforts.
In the depths of his heart, the red-robed man muttered in quiet approval. He marveled at Ye Xiao's unwavering commitment and the strides he had taken in his cultivation. A sense of satisfaction unfurled within him with a rare acknowledgment of Ye Xiao's tenacity and potential.
And now, as Ye Xiao sat in a focused cultivation state, the red-robed man's thoughts blended into a decision. Seeing that Ye Xiao was still far from breaking through and he has yet to swallow the Mystic Ink Fruit, he decided to intervene.
With a subtle gesture, the red-robed man's voice echoed softly within Ye Xiao's consciousness. "Ling Xiaolong, although you have shown a remarkable dedication in these past seven years, the hurdle lay between Minor Saint Realm and Major Saint Realm is not something that could be broken by just cultivation alone. If you continue like this, you might not reach the breakthrough point even in the next fifty or hundred years. Swallow the Mystic Ink Fruits, it will aid you in stepping past the obstacle you face. If you still don't swallow the Mystic Ink Fruit, you might not be able to complete the first task in the required period of time."
Ye Xiao was startled when he heard the red-robed man's voice and his eyes flickered open. The red-robed man's sudden voice interfered with his cultivation which almost caused his cultivation to go berserk on the spot. However, Ye Xiao felt a flow of foreign energy emerging from the ground and entering his body, stabilizing the almost-berserk energy inside his body.
It seems this Myriad Plane Dimensions which is created by the previous King of Chaos does not want anything to happen to Ye Xiao, and that's why it helped him.
But why?
When this question arise in his heart, Ye Xiao could only guess that this might be a special feature of Myriad Plane Dimensions.
But in his heart, he knew that this is not the right answer.
"It is because Chaos does not allow your cultivation to go berserk. And nothing that exists within chaos could go against chaos. Everything is under Chaos's absolute rules."
When Ye Xiao was still thinking of a reason, he heard the voice that belonged to the Lotus of Chaos. Ye Xiao was surprised but then he thought of the mysterious existence that has planned everything for him even before his birth. Even the Lotus of Chaos and Chaos is working for that mysterious existence since time immemorial. He could already guess that it must be that mysterious existence's order to never allow anything to happen to Ye Xiao.
However, if that is the case, doesn't it mean he is under Chaos's protection? Doesn't it also make him invincible?
As if guessing what Ye Xiao was thinking, the Lotus of Chaos again, "Don't think too much. If you want to be killed, Chaos will never stop you. If you let someone stab your heart with their weapon without taking action, Chaos will not save you. Chaos only intervenes when needed."
"Then how will I know when it will intervene?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.
"That is not for you to know. You should focus on your cultivation. As you already know, everything is preplanned. Chaos and I want you to obtain the treasure left behind by the previous King of Chaos. And that's why Chaos asked the Myriad Plane Dimensions to help you this time. There is not much time left. We have to make you ready in the next hundred thousand years at most. You should hurry up and focus on your cultivation."
Now, this was problematic.
Ye Xiao frowned and asked, "What do you mean there is not much time left and I have to be ready in the next hundred thousand years?"
"You will know as long as you gather all 108 Rule Source Crystals and at least become a Mystic Sovereign Realm warrior. For now, you should focus on your cultivation."
Knowing that the Lotus of Chaos will not tell him anything, Ye Xiao could only sigh and focus back on his cultivation. But the words of Lotus of Chaos were already in his mind. And now, he wanted to gather 108 Rule Source Crystals more badly. He really wanted to know what the Lotus of Chaos, Chaos, and that mysterious existence were planning for him.
Well, at least he had an idea of where to look for the Gravitation Source Crystal.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao took out a Mystic Ink Fruit from his spatial ring. Its surface gleamed with an otherworldly iridescence, a testament to its extraordinary nature.
After thinking for a moment, he again took out four more Mystic Ink Fruits. Together, they are Five Elemental Mystic Ink Fruits.
Without hesitation, Ye Xiao raised the five Mystic Ink Fruit and used his devour ability to devour them all. This way, even with exploding energy that belongs to five Mystic Ink Fruits, no harm will be dealt to his body.
When the red-robed man saw Ye Xiao swallowing the five Mystic Ink fruits at once, he was shocked and wanted to stop Ye Xiao. But it was already too late. In the end, he sighed and watched Ye Xiao closely.
At the same time, he muttered, "When I intervened, his cultivation should have received backlash. I was prepared to take action and save him, but the source energy belonging to this Myriad Plane Dimensions that the master created came out and stabilized his cultivation. Does it mean this Myriad Plane Dimensions has already acknowledged him? If so, doesn't mean Master has acknowledged him too?"
"If that is really the case, my billions of years of wait can finally end. This good. I just have to keep a close eye on him for now so that nothing wrong happens to him."
On the other hand, the moment the five Mystic Ink Fruits were devoured by Ye Xiao, a burst of ocean-like energy stormed inside his body. Fortunately, he devoured them so this ocean-like energy soon calmed down.
After that, Ye Xiao circulated the Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra and immediately, an electric surge coursed through his body, invigorating his very being. The Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra seemed to have found something interesting, it surged with newfound intensity, intertwining with the five Mystic Ink Fruits' essence in a harmonious dance.
As the fruit's effects took hold, Ye Xiao felt a shift within him, a surge of clarity and revelation. The obstacle that had thwarted his progress seemed to dissolve, replaced by a profound understanding that transcended his previous limitations.
Time was passing continuously but Ye Xiao was unaware of how much time has passed.
Ye Xiao continued to practice his cultivation with strong the help of an unending surge of energies belonging to the five elements.
As time passed, Ye Xiao felt like he was getting better. His energy and skills improved.
Time flowed on, marked by the ceaseless flow of energy on the rugged stone platform created for him to cultivate by the red-robed man. Days melded into nights, and nights into days, as Ye Xiao delved deeper into cultivation. He channeled the energy belonging to the five elements within his body.
And so, after an unknown period of relentless effort, Ye Xiao found himself standing at the precipice of a breakthrough. The energy within him surged and swirled, its resonance with the world around him was palpable. The boundaries of the Late Stage Minor Saint Realm trembled under the weight of his determination, yearning to be transcended.
Then, after an unknown period of hard cultivation, something amazing happened. Ye Xiao broke through a barrier and reached a higher level. His aura felt stronger than ever, and he was surrounded by a bright light. It was like he had reached a new level of power.
When the bright light faded, Ye Xiao felt different. He had become a stronger warrior, he has broken through and become a Major Saint.
Now, finally, he managed to overcome every hurdle and stepped into the Realm of Major Saints.
