Five days later, at this moment, Xu Fan looked terrible, because all his Foundation Establishment Puppets were destroyed in battle. If it wasn’t for Ye Xiaoyao regaining some fighting strength, Xu Fan would have to fight personally.
The Lingfeng Boat had already circled this small world twice.
At this time, a blood-stained figure appeared on the Lingfeng Boat.
“Little Fan, you hang in there, I need to recover my spiritual power.” Ye Xiaoyao said, though the strength of the demonic beasts wasn’t too strong, their quantity was overwhelming. It seemed like there was an endless supply of them.
“Alright, Brother Ye, you go ahead and recover.” Xu Fan, wearing the Spirit Power Armor, appeared at the rear of the Lingfeng Boat, preparing to fend off the attacking monster birds. He now suspected that there was a place in this small world that could continuously spawn monster birds, as their numbers did not seem to decrease at all.
Xu Fan looked at the approaching monster birds, formed hand gestures, and a fire cloud formed above his head, staying at the same level as him.
‘Flying Bird Group Killing Skill’
Countless fire-red birds flew out of the fire cloud, rushing towards the monster birds chasing Xu Fan.
‘Boom!!’
A series of explosions echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Whenever Ye Xiaoyao saw this scene, he felt as if his own Qi Cultivation was in a dog’s belly, as Xu Fan’s power was almost comparable to a Golden Core Cultivator’s technique.
“Old Jian, have you seen a more monstrous Qi Cultivator than my brother?” Ye Xiaoyao asked in his mind.
“The most monstrous Qi Cultivator I’ve seen could slay a Nascent Soul. Your brother can, at most, fight a Golden Core. Although he’s not the best I’ve seen, he’s still at the top level in the Great Thousand World.”
“Damn, a Qi Cultivator able to slay a Nascent Soul!”
“When such a monstrous cultivator grows, they could practically slay emperors. I definitely need to meet them someday.” Ye Xiaoyao said, feeling overwhelmed.
“You will meet him eventually. He’s the enemy of the Destructive Immortal Emperor and the target you’ll be killing in the future.”
For some reason, Ye Xiaoyao did not sense any resentment in Old Jian’s tone.
“Why don’t you go to my brother then? Comparing myself to them, I feel like I’m just a waste.” Ye Xiaoyao said in frustration, questioning why Old Jian held him in such high regard.
“Haha, don’t belittle yourself. It’s not a coincidence that I met you; there must be a reason behind this.”
“Whatever, one step at a time. Flying ascentation isn’t even certain anyway.” At this moment, Xu Fan’s furious roar came.
“Stupid bird, you keep messing with my mind. Do you really think I can’t kill you?” Xu Fan yelled angrily as that Golden Core Stage monster bird kept emitting an illusory sound that initially Xu Fan could resist.
But the content of this illusory sound was: I’m going to kidnap your whole family and make them lay eggs.
It wasn’t a strong attack, but highly insulting.
Three billiard ball-sized Thunder Titanium Orbs appeared around Xu Fan, flashing faint thunderbolts.
Xu Fan’s Spirit Power Armor emitted a bright green light, and a long-tubed magic artifact appeared in the sky, making a faint thunderous sound.
“Stupid bird, back into the egg you go!”
‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’
With three consecutive loud noises, the long-tubed magic instrument in the sky shattered into pieces under the enormous force.
At this moment, the Golden Core monster bird chasing the Lingfeng Boat turned into a fog of blood, and even its underlings in a straight line with it were not spared.
Xu Fan gasped and looked at the fog of blood, “Motherf*cker, make me lay eggs.”
Even after killing the Golden Core monster bird, Xu Fan still felt unsatisfied. He switched directly to cannon mode and started bombarding the monster birds and beasts chasing the Lingfeng Boat relentlessly.
“When you take your revenge in the future, bring your brother with you. I think he has even more potential than you.” Old Jian said after watching Xu Fan’s performance.
Ye Xiaoyao nodded.
“I feel the same too, once Little Fan advances to the Foundation Establishment,
I estimate I won’t be his match anymore.”
“This technique is a bit too violent.”
After bombarding and wreaking havoc for an hour, killing countless monstrous birds, Xu Fan stopped because the spiritual power stored in his spiritual power armor was almost depleted.
Only after ten days, when Ye Xiaoyao had regained his strength, did the two of them break through a weak spot in space and emerge from the small world.
As soon as they left the small world, Xu Fan quickly summoned a submarine, taking Ye Xiaoyao with him as they flew towards the sea surface.
Once they returned to Zhenhai City, they went to a tea house to distribute the spoils of their battle.
“Little Fan, I don’t want anything else, just give me a copy of the sword dao inheritance from above.’
“This time you saved my life,” Ye Xiaoyao said gratefully.
“Inheritance materials like these are not treasures, sharing them with you just
takes a bit of time,” Xu Fan directly handed several sword dao inheritance jade
butterflies to Ye Xiaoyao.
“I am not interested in sword dao. If I need it in the future, I will ask you for it.”
“Then how should I thank you?” Ye Xiaoyao asked uneasily. Unlike Jade slips, inheritance Jade butterflies usually contain the insights of powerful cultivators about the inheritance, which can help the inheritor comprehend the inheritance quickly.
“Just like this, I’ll ask you one question. Whether you can answer it or not doesn’t matter,” Xu Fan thought for a while and said. He couldn’t imagine himself staying in the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation for more than a hundred years.
Even if he were to stay within the sect, the unavoidable dangers would still come.
The first time he went out, he met with Zhu Jiao, and he was chased by a Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator, causing his soul to lose more than half of its power.
The second time he met with Zhu Jiao outside, his Foundation Establishment Stage puppets were completely destroyed, and his overall strength was reduced by half.
“Little Fan, just ask. Even if I don’t have the answer, I will help you find it,” Ye Xiaoyao said firmly.
“Is there a 13th Layer above the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation, and where is the limit of the Qi Cultivation stage?”
“Don’t hurry to answer. Answer me before the end of this Floating Skyship journey,” Xu Fan said, as he still had some time before reaching the Qi Cultivation Peak, so there was no need to rush.
Now he could only hope that Zhu Jiao’s encyclopedia grandpa would know about this.
At that moment, Old Jian in Ye Xiaoyao’s body muttered, “Why do I feel like this kid knows about my existence?”
“Alright, before the Floating Skyship returns, I will give you an answer,” Ye Xiaoyao nodded. This question also piqued his curiosity, so he planned to go back and ask Old Jian about it.
After the two separated, Xu Fan immediately returned to his small courtyard and slept in peace.
Meanwhile, in an ordinary small courtyard, Ye Xiaoyao was discussing the issue with Old Jian.
“Old Jian, are there any layers above the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation?” “That’s not how you should ask someone for help,” he said arrogantly.
“Immortal Emperor!”
“It’s a complicated matter to talk about, and it’s related to the will of Heaven and this world.”
“Forget it, it’s no use telling you all that. When my True Spirit arrived in this world, I explored it all.”
“In ancient times, this world was ruled by the Demon Clan.”
“At that time, the Human Clan in this world was enslaved, and the Demon Clan did not allow the existence of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“As soon as one broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they would be hunted down and killed by the Demon Clan. At that time, the Human Clan had no power to resist.”
“Under such oppression, the Human Clan survived for tens of thousands of years, and after a long exploration, they developed the 24th Layer of Qi Cultivation and the 36th Layer of Qi Cultivation.”
“After reaching the 24th layer, one would become a Golden Core cultivator. At the 36th layer, one would achieve the Nascent Soul stage.”
At this point, Ye Xiaoyao interjected, “Then if one achieves 108 layers, wouldn’t they directly become a Mahayana cultivator?”
“It’s a nice thought, but the will of this world, or what you could call the
Heavenly Dao, isn’t going to allow it..”
