Two Sovereigns
Chaps3. Lightning Jade Monkey.
The group walked towards the outside of the Dark Forest very slowly as they had always met a Demon Beast which was quite troublesome for Bi Jiao's group but it wasn't for Han Xiao and Ne Zha, either, the two of them were very easy to finish off the Demon Beasts that were blocking the way.
But they allowed Bi Jiao's group to train so they both let the group face the Demon Beast, if there was a Demon Beast that the group could not afford Han Xiao would face the Demon Beast.
It didn't take long he was just like cutting tofu when facing even a Demon Beast that was on par with a fourth Golden Realm cultivator Today they were resting near the river. They could not figure out how many days they had walked. But thanks to the watch that was on Han Xiao's arm that he had brought from the previous world they knew the time, this had already been seven days during their first meeting.
Han Xiao and Ne Zha sat by the river and chatted together for this situation they were in.
"It's worth saying that the origin of the item is not known at all and now we're stuck in this strange world" Ne Zha murmured.
"Yes, it's quite silly that we here will have the strength and cultivate like in novels. Haha," said Han Xiao.
They are happy to know there is another world besides the world they were born in but they also regret not being able to return to the world they were born in as well. Now they just follow what the two Tigers taught and showed back then. Han Xiao pondered and digested the more memories in his mind that he had obtained from the white Tiger.
In this world every cultivator has a level starting from the smallest: Bronze–Silver–Gold.
Bronze and Silver are divided into three tiers each :first–second–third
As for the Golden realm it has seven levels. When cultivators practice until the Golden Realm, they would build their Fate Palaces in the neigong meridians, each Fate Palace being a power and a soul house.
Three palaces formed a domain, five palaces formed a realm, seven palaces formed a world, ten palaces formed a universe. However it was not easy for a Cultivator who wanted to build ten palaces that required great talent and luck, all this time the person with ten palaces could be counted by the finger of one hand.
After building the Palace of Destiny Cultivators could break through the Palace Expansion which was divided into four levels namely: Pertama–Kecilau–Keak.
And the Expansion Palace was divided into three: Mortal Palace with one to three Fate Palaces, Earth Palace with five to eight Fate Palaces and Heaven Palace with ten Fate Palaces.
So the more Fate Palaces they formed while their practice in the Golden Realm was getting better, but most cultivators stopped at three palaces and six. It was extremely difficult to form the seven Expansion Palaces. So forming ten palaces was just a dream.
After the Palace Expansion is the King's Realm, this is the same in divided into four ie: Pertama–Kec Both–Peak.
And then the Spirit Realm and the Void Core, to the next level two Tigers did not tell Ne Zha and Han Xiao because they had already sealed a memory that would open when Ne Zha and Han Xiao reached the Spirit Realm.
Each level in the Golden Realm represented the cultivator's talent as an example of Bi Jiao, he had already reached this second Golden Realm proving his talent was not bad that as young as it reached a second Golden Realm cultivator could even be called Bi Jiao was a cultivation genius. While the other four were like Xue Yan they were only at the second Silver Realm.
However it was natural that since Bi Jiao was the main descendant of the Bi Clan, it was a large Cultivator Clan in the Yang Empire.
Currently Han Xiao and Ne Zha were in the second Silver Realm.
But they could fight the more powerful Demon Beasts many times over them because the brown Tiger provided the strongest attack technique that was 'Shadow Blade Dance' it made Ne Zha's fingers as sharp as a blade and like an unstoppable shadow. Anyone exposed to this technique under the third Golden Realm would instantly die without knowing how they died!
If it was for the third to seventh Golden Realms it would be enough to fatally injure them.
The two of them also obtained cultivation techniques from the two tigers, Han Xiao he cultivated the 'Devourer Manual' it allowed him to suck the blood essence from the opponent as well as the Qi from the opponent to allow Han Xiao to advance unhindered on the path of cultivation as long as he had sufficient understanding! But this Manual had the side effect of finishing devouring the Qi of another Cultivator it would bring negative energy that made Han Xiao want to kill and kill.
Ne Zha was no less frightening he was cultivating the 'Spirit Elementum Manual' allowing him to absorb the Qi of the realm with peerless speed it allowed him to not run out of Qi for the intake of the life tree within his dantian as well as having a high level of purity Qi, it allowed him to not run out of Qi, only Ne Zha had to attempt to condense his own blood essence unlike Han Xiao who could take it from other Kutivators. However this did not have any side effects like Han Xiao.
Qi was the energy for Cultivators, the increase in their practice also desperately needed Qi to refresh and grow the tree of life within their dantian, he said,
For Han Xiao's technique to be so powerful he obtained the 'Heaven Destruction' technique from the white Tiger, his every blow would be as heavy as a mountain and a great destruction, however it did not make him satisfied so he asked the Shadow Knife Finger to Ne Zha, he also gave the Mountain Destroyer Fist to Ne Zha to exchange.
The two of them started cultivating in the Forest of Darkness until the second Bronze Realm then accidentally heard the sound of the fight attracting the attention of Han Xiao who wanted to try out his new strength. Han Xiao left Ne Zha behind then he found Bi Jiao's group, he quickly cut the centipede with the Shadow Knife Finger technique.
Their cultivation speed was astonishing because for seven days they did twice the cultivation increase and the increase was very short, cultivators usually needed one day to break through from the Bronze Realm to the Silver Realm but Han Xiao and Ne Zha only needed three hours! This made Bi Jiao's group cluck in awe and fear, but they did not know what level of practice Han Xiao and Ne Zha were. This was the uniqueness of the Manual of the two Sacred Tigers to them. Cultivators who had practices under the third Golden Realm would not know the practices of Han Xiao or Ne Zha in their current practices, either, if their practices were to go up then the other Cultivators who could see their practices would have to be much higher than the two of them!
While looking at seraya
chatting Bi Jiao approached Han Xiao and Ne Zha, Bi Jiao invited them to enjoy the meat of the Demon Beast they had just killed. Han Xiao and Ne Zha followed Bi Jiao to the group near the campfire not far from the river.
"This Senior Water Pithon meat, is very delicious and has a lot of Qi in it." Xue Yin gave a large piece to Han Xiao and Ne Zha.
Han Xiao took a small bite and then chewed on it, a moment later Han Xiao's eyes became very bright quickly he took another bite and placed one large piece of meat for him then ordered Xue Yin to take another for Ne Zha.
"Uemhs... It's delicious" Han Xiao said with meat in his mouth. He was a food enthusiast in the previous world so this delicious snake meat made him lost in enjoyment.
Ne Zha looked at Han Xiao who was either hungry or greedy with the meat, Ne Zha picked up the knife and took out a small cut and fed it. Ne Zha was just like Han Xiao he was a food enthusiast so greedily ate meat like Han Xiao.
After they ate the meat they rested for a while and continued their journey.
They continued walking towards the outside of the forest until one day they met a Demon Beast, this was a Demon Beast that was on par with cultivators of the Mortal Palace to the Earth Palace. And they met this Lightning Jade Monkey was a gigantic Ape-shaped level 5 Demon Beast that had a skin as hard as jade and had flashes of lightning all over its body, what was frightening was that this Lightning Jade Ape was equivalent to an Earth Palace!
Han Xiao was not afraid that he was emitting an imposing gleam from his eyes, he was happy to finally find such a powerful Demon Beast because all this time all the Demon Beasts were just like knowing for him.
"Well, let's see how strong this big monkey is." Han Xiao laughed then lunged recklessly towards the Lightning Jade Monkey.
Other people would consider him crazy or arrogant but he himself knew of his strength recently Han Xiao and Ne Zha reached the first Golden Realm. If anyone knew the rise of their practice which was like a fish in the ocean and an eagle in the sky it would make them fear and worry about such a rise.
Han Xiao raised his arm and poured Qi into his fist, he used the Sky Destruction Fist technique and clashed head-on with the giant Ape.
Booms...
As the fists collided with the force of the punch and the ground cracked and dug a few meters down, the incident left Bi Jiao's group dumbfounded and dropped their jaws to the ground.
"It.that's the Earth Palace, how Senior Han Xiao can fight on balance even looks that the Lightning Jade Monkey is harmed!" Bi Qingchen spoke with a stuttering look at Han Xiao's strength.
Only Ne Zha was calm in the group, yet even Bi Jiao was stunned and became serious upon seeing the incident.
Han Xiao retreated a few steps while the Lightning Jade Ape bounced back flying with a punch from Han Xiao, as the ape got up revealing his broken arm with blood flowing all over his arm.
"Heh, it turns out just like that the power of this Lightning Jade Monkey? The body alone is large, I will make you grilled meat after this," Han Xiao said with a tone of ridicule, although he was superior it still made his arm numb from the lightning sting of the Lightning Jade Monkey's body.
"Viiiiiiiik...!"
The ape was enraged by Han Xiao's provocation and attacked once more, Han Xiao was not afraid of him quickly advancing forward and attacking using the Sky Destroyer Fist again.
The shock waves made the forest fall apart, but it was still dark and sunlight could not enter the Forest of Darkness.
After exchanging blows four times Han Xiao got bored and immediately ended the life of the Thunder Jade Ape.
The group of Bi Jiao could not calm down after seeing this, Han Xiao's strength was too great they glanced at Ne Zha who was always calm and silent. Was Ne Zha's strength as big as Han Xiao or even more? When imagining it it gave them goosebumps of fear, if the two of them worked together maybe the ape would die in one hit!
Bi Jiao's group could only second-guess the practice of Han Xiao and Ne Zha being in the Palace Expansion since it could defeat the Lightning Jade Ape easily. The five of them against the centipede alone had a lot of losses what about this Thunder Jade Monkey? Maybe they're all dead.
"This Demon Core of the Lightning Jade Monkey must be extremely expensive, not to mention that this skin was as hard as jade and contained an excellent lightning element for cultivators cultivating lightning!" Xue Yan said happily, but behind her pleasure she immediately remembered that the one who killed this Thunder Jade Monkey was Han Xiao.
"Well, this is useful enough you guys just take the rest I just take this Demon Core." Han Xiao took out the Demon Core at the head of the Lightning Jade Monkey then gave all the rest of this Lightning Jade Monkey to Bi Jiao's group.
"But this senior of the Lightning Jade Monkey was killed by you," Bi Jiao said confusedly.
Han Xiao looked at Bi Jiao then said cheerfully as usual, "Take it I don't need it."
These words made Bi Jiao's group secretly happy, Bi Jiao quickly thanked Han Xiao then dismembered the body of the Lightning Jade Monkey.
Just as they were cutting the Lightning Jade Ape suddenly came a group of men in black clothes and their auras were pressing heavily onto Bi Jiao's group, Han Xiao not far from the place immediately got up and saw this newcomer.
They numbered twenty people with a leader who had a level of practice in the Expansion Palace!
