Chapter 1655: I am Going OutTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Well, you should be surprised. I am more talented than most people. A few years ago, when I was seventeen years old, I was already invincible in the Land of Han-Yang, where I was born… I actually exceeded the limitation of that realm…” Ye Xiao breathed a sigh.

“Oh, I see. You were born with gifts. When you exceeded the limitation of your homeworld, you came to the Human Realm Upon Heavens, right? Your power is granted by the heavens. That makes sense…” Chihuo said, trying to explain it.

“What? Human Realm Upon Heavens? No… I went to the Qing-Yun Realm, which is much higher than the Land of Han-Yang.” Ye Xiao said.

“Erh… The Qing-Yun Realm? What is it? How is it, compared to the Human Realm Upon Heavens?” Chihuo was confused.

“Well, it is much higher than the Land of Han-Yang but lower than the Human Realm Upon Heavens. I continued cultivating in the Qing-Yun Realm and then eventually ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens.” Ye Xiao explained about the Qing-Yun Realm.

That confused Chihuo even more.

“Do you mean… You ascended for the second time?”

“That’s right. When I was twenty years old, I was already too powerful for the Qing-Yun Realm… I ascended to the upper realm, which is the Human Realm Upon Heavens… I was at the third level of the Faery Origin Stage. What a talented cultivator I am!” Ye Xiao started to praise himself.

“The third level of the Faery Origin Stage? You were only at the third level of the Faery Origin Stage…” Chihuo was sweating. He stared at Ye Xiao with respect and said, “You were at the third level in the beginning, and then you reached level nine of the Faery Origin Stage, and then you reached the Divinity Origin Stage, and then you reached the Saint Origin Stage… Now you are at level four of the Saint Origin Stage… How long did it take you? One and a half years? Really?”

“Well, I think it should be longer than one and a half years.” Ye Xiao said, “About one year and nine months… That is it. I am talented. I am not going to lie about that. But I am not that fast…”

Chihuo was going to pa.s.s out.

‘I am not going to live anymore!’

‘How fast! How incredible! How horrible! What a crazy man…’

Ye Xiao kept praising himself, calling himself talented, but Chihuo thought it was a disgrace to himself. ‘You are much more than just a talented cultivator! You are a monster who grows against the heavens!’

Chihuo was sure. He would swear with the lives of his children. ‘n.o.body else in the Human Realm Upon Heavens can be as incredibly talented as Ye Xiao!’

“Master Chihuo! Chihuo! Lord Chihuo!”

Ye Xiao tried to wake Chihuo up. Chihuo was back to awareness. He looked at Ye Xiao and said, “Kid… You are such a monster… You are a blow in every cultivator’s heart.”

Ye Xiao seriously said, “What are you talking about, Master Chihuo? We are born equal. Every cultivator has a fair chance to reach greatness in cultivation. Hardworking is the only way to reach the goal… How am I a blow in other’s heart…?”

“Oh…” Chihuo nearly threw up.

‘Born equal? Hardworking?’

‘Equal your a.s.s!’

‘Hardworking my a.s.s!’

“Well, I met a barrier recently.” Ye Xiao said, “I have this feeling… If I stay in the Hall of Life and Death, I am not going to make any progress in one year staying in the Hall of Life and Death… In fact, I am not going to improve any if I stay in this place for even ten years… I am thinking… Maybe I should…”

“What did you just say? Wait. Just stop.” Chihuo stared at Ye Xiao and said, “Do you want to reach the Immortality Stage in one year? In one year?”

“That’s correct. I have reached the top of the seventh level of the Saint Origin Stage. In several days, I will be a level-eight Saint Origin Stage cultivator. In six months, I will reach the top of the Saint Origin Stage!” Ye Xiao looked at Chihuo and said, “The rest of the year, I must try to get to a new stage. Why do you look surprised? What are you staring at me for? I am satisfied with my progress. Come on. Don’t judge me! I must be steady in the progress. I can’t do it faster!”

Chihuo wanted to slap Ye Xiao to death. ‘Holy h.e.l.l! Did I mean that? No! I am not saying you are slow! I am saying that you are too unreasonably fast! You are such an arrogant p.r.i.c.k! You are insane! You are crazy!’

‘But… But… However… In fact… He seems to be honest. He is just telling the truth. Is he truly going to improve that fast? That is unbelievable! Ridiculous! F*ck… Why was I scared by a kid?’

After a while, Chihuo breathed a sigh and said, “Lord Monarch, you know what? I am glad I made the right choice…”

“You are glad? What do you mean?” Ye Xiao was confused.

He did want to irritate Chihuo, but he didn’t know Chihuo would have such a reaction!

What was it about?

Chihuo didn’t explain much. He didn’t tell Ye Xiao all the thoughts in his head. He just said, “Lord Monarch, will you go out? Are you going to travel outside to extend your experience and broaden your view?”

“Exactly. I am. Why do you think I was so eager to help you and keep you in the Monarch’s Hall? I want you to keep the Hall of Life and Death under control for me.”

Ye Xiao said, “Without me, the Hall of Life and Death will be destroyed soon.”

“If the Hall of Life and Death loses the marvelous doctor, only a top-cla.s.s superior cultivator could keep it safe. You are the best choice I have got.” Ye Xiao seriously said, “First of all, you are powerful. Second, you have to stay in the Hall of Life and Death because of your special condition. If the Hall of Life and Death is destroyed, you don’t get to reach a higher level… You will protect the Hall of Life and Death with your life.

“Third, you are experienced, and you know a lot of people. You are able to deal with all possible situations. n.o.body in the Monarch’s Hall can do what you can do.

“With you protecting the Monarch’s Hall, I can be free to go out and cultivate myself.”
