Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yue Shuang and Yue Han didn’t go with Xue Danru and Xuan Bing. They just sat on Ye Xiao’s two sides. Ye Xiao drank up the liquor, and the ladies refilled it. They didn’t pay attention to anybody else.

Li Wuliang complained that it was unfair, but there was really nothing he could do.

Ye Xiao was the ladies’ brother, and Li Wuliang was nobody!

The night was over with joy and laughs.

...

Ye Xiao had been thinking about one thing before he got drunk.

‘I found Shuang and Han... Bing’er found me... Li Wuliang and Xue Danru are here...’

‘What about Jun Yinglian?’

‘Where is Lian Lian?’

‘She should have heard about me!’

‘Where is Han Bingxue? Ning Biluo? Zhao Pingtian? Liu Changjun? Wenren Chuchu?’

‘How come no one heard from these people?’

...

For the next three months, Ye Xiao was killing over the entire Limitless Ocean. He was truly a One Meter Higher Sky!

It wasn’t exaggerated!

Twelve monster animals who were guarding the twelve of the nineteen passes were defeated by Ye Xiao!

Li Wuliang and Ye Xiao drank for three months.

In the three months, Xue Danru never stopped being angry. However, she could only be angry at her husband, not on anybody else. And because it was Li Wuliang who kept asking people to drink all the time... He got to the Flower King, and then the Poison King... In the end, the Flower King and the Poison King couldn’t do it anymore, so Ye Xiao was the only one who drank with him every day!

Xue Danru couldn’t blame others, but she also couldn’t do anything to Li Wuliang because he was too drunk.

When Xue Danru thought of the days she had been through with Li Wuliang when she thought of how Li Wuliang protected her...

No matter how close they were to die, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he always stepped out for her, protecting her...

They had been through too much pain and suffering. It was tough for people who had just come to this world!

The man had carried too much on his shoulder.

Now that he finally got a chance to drink with his brother, how could she stop him?

Xue Danru didn’t stop him. Every time when she wanted to, she would think of the time they had been through together. She would feel sad for the man, and she hoped that Li Wuliang could enjoy every moment as he wanted.

He was happy when he was drunk, and he was safe.

It must be so good for him to relax like that...

Xue Danru knew what Li Wuliang was thinking.

The brothers had finally met each other again. However, Li Wuliang wouldn’t stay with Ye Xiao!

There couldn’t be two big brothers!

“This is good!” Li Wuliang shouted and drank up the liquor in the jar. He tapped Ye Xiao’s shoulder and said, “Brother, I am leaving tomorrow morning!”

“Leaving?” Ye Xiao was surprised. He looked at Li Wuliang in the eyes for a long time and then nodded. “Okay!”

He understood!

If Li Wuliang followed him back to the Monarch’s Hall, what should he do under the strict rules of the Monarch’s Hall?

If he stayed inside the Monarch’s Hall, he became a subordinate to Ye Xiao!

Li Wuliang wouldn’t want it. Ye Xiao wouldn’t want it either.

“It was quite a long trip to come, and the only thing I want to do is to have a good drink with you, brother!” Li Wuliang laughed and said, “I didn’t expect this could last for three months! I feel so good now!

“I will come back whenever I want a drink!

“When you want a good drink, come to me as well!”

Ye Xiao nodded and said in a deep voice, “I understand, brother.”

Li Wuliang laughed and continued drinking.

...

The next morning.

Li Wuliang and Xue Danru were gone. They didn’t say goodbye.

In fact, Ye Xiao was in his own tent when the couple left. He saw them off but didn’t say anything. He was blessing the two of them silently.

‘My brother, stay alive! You must always live like this!’

In fact, Xue Danru didn’t want to leave. She finally found Xuan Bing, the only sworn enemy she had in her life. She thought Xuan Bing would be her enemy for her whole life, but they ended up to be close friends.

They just became good friends, so Xue Danru wouldn’t want to leave so soon.

However, she must follow Li Wuliang.

“Wuliang’s Fierce Blade cuts through the clouds in the mortal world. When I come back after traveling the vast world, brothers will drink together again!”

Li Wuliang’s voice sounded.

He was hundreds of miles away already.

Ye Xiao walked out and looked far in distance.

...

There were nineteen passes in the Limitless Ocean.

Ye Xiao had gotten through thirteen of them. These passes were not in a line.

The rest six were either far away around the border or in the central area. Ye Xiao didn’t have to get past them.

‘Those passes aren’t near me. If somebody heard about me and came to me, they wouldn’t go to the other six places. They must come to the places where they can confront me in my way.’

‘Where are they?’

‘They didn’t encounter anything unfortunate, did they?’

‘No, absolutely not!’

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh to console himself. He missed the lady so much.

‘Lian Lian, where are you?’

...

Ye Xiao had stayed around the Dog Head Mountain for over ten days. After searching the whole area with his powerful spiritual mind, he confirmed that there was no sign of any old friend in this area.

‘Perhaps, it is not a good time for us to meet again?’

“Master, we are heading to the territory of the North Sky King. If we have to go there, we must change our plan.” The Flower King said.

They were leaving the Limitless Ocean. Once they entered the territory of the five Sky Kings, they were strictly restrained by the local laws. If he still went ahead as the high-profile One Meter Higher Sky, he might be considered as challenging the Sky King. It was simply suicide.

Ye Xiao nodded but didn’t say anything. He looked at nothing in the air, lost in thoughts.

The Flower King had just told Ye Xiao something Ye Xiao had already thought of. In fact, Ye Xiao thought deeper into it. It was not a good time for him to show up in any Sky King’s territory.

He couldn’t show himself as the Marvelous doctor or the owner of the Monarch’s Hall.

Within the half-year, the Monarch’s Hall had been following Ye Xiao and destroyed everything and everyone standing in their way.

At the moment, the Monarch’s Hall was more or less a huge organization.

It wasn’t as big as the Brotherhood Alliance, the House of Chaotic Storms, or the Hall of Returning Nature yet.

However, it wouldn’t take long to be so.

As the owner of the Hall of Life and Death, or as the prime master of the Monarch’s Hall, he was never going to survive the territory of the Five Kings. The owner of the Hall of Life and Death would be captured and spend the rest of his life in the prison, while the prime master of the Monarch’s Hall would be killed immediately.

“When I am walking ahead from here...” Ye Xiao looked forward and said, “The Monarch’s Hall kills the way ahead.”

He was casually speaking.

The Flower King and the Poison King were both shocked.

They were astonished and frightened.

“In the past three months, Bing’er reached the top of the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage. She is one step away to reach the Immortality Stage! She is powerful enough to enter the higher stage, but she needed a stronger mind to do it. The Ling Xiao Ice Art had limitations just like other martial arts do. Her incredible martial art can’t take her through the barrier between the normal stage and the superior stage!”

Ye Xiao said, “Yue Shuang and Yue Han are both at level five of the Saint Origin Stage. One step ahead, and you can directly reach the ninth level... The Divine Heart of Moon and Star is truly as magnificent as people say...

“The Poison King hasn’t failed me either. He has completed the first three levels of the poisoning martial art... He is now at the fifth level of the Saint Origin Stage.” Ye Xiao looked at the Poison King.

“Brother Flower King, I know that you have fully recovered your power. You are back to a good condition now.” Ye Xiao said, “How much have you improved?”

The Flower King was a top-class cultivator, who was much more powerful than Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao couldn’t see his cultivation level.

The Flower King humbly smiled, but modesty couldn’t hide the delight in his heart. He said, “With your generous support, Lord Monarch, I have reached the middle of the eighth level of the Immortality Stage”

“That is incredibly fast!” Ye Xiao nodded and said, “However, here is my advice. I hope you will keep it in mind. Your fast improvement does not only rely on the supreme dan beads but also depends on the accumulation of energy that you have done in these years. You have been fighting against the power of the One Meter of Red for survival, and it helped you to get an extraordinary mind state. You got the strong mind power first, and then the supreme dan beads. From now on, even if you will still have the supreme dan beads, you won’t improve as fast as you did. Don’t worry, and do not be anxious. Stay calm. After all, improvement for a top-level cultivator was like grinding a needle from a pillar. You can’t be in haste. If you lose the motivation in your heart, you will get weakened instead...”

The Flower King solemnly said, “I understand. I won’t make that mistake.”

The Immortality Stage was different from the Saint Origin Stage. Between these two stages, it was the difference between normal cultivators and the top-class cultivators. One was like heaven while the other was like the mortal world. In the Immortality Stage, it took a lot of unimaginably hard work to reach a new level.

To reach a new level in the Saint Origin Stage needed a hundred times more energy than in the Divinity Origin Stage. In the Immortality Stage, it required a thousand times more energy than in the Saint Origin Stage!

It was such a huge difference!

The Flower King said, “Lord Monarch if you don’t mind, what level are you at?”

Two months earlier, the Flower King could see Ye Xiao’s cultivation level. It was at the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage. It was pretty fast already. However, as for now, he actually couldn’t see Ye Xiao’s level anymore. It shocked the Flower King!

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “I think I have reached the Immortality Stage.”

Ye Xiao didn’t say what level he was at.

The Flower King was already astonished.

The difference between the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage and the Immortality Stage was the huge gap between the sky and the human world. It was not just a simple accumulation!

Xuan Bing was improving so fast that Ye Xiao was astonished. The Ling Xiao Ice Art actually boosted Xuan Bing up so fast that even Erhuo was jealous of her. However, the gap between the Saint Origin Stage and the Immortality Stage stopped her!

It was a huge difference!

However, Ye Xiao got through it! He just silently did, as if nothing was serious!

Ye Xiao blandly smiled, but it didn’t disguise the delight in his heart.

After the Twelve Spirits were settled, Ye Xiao started to feel himself improving like a rocket flying.

Erhuo explained it to him earlier, “The Twelve Spirits are like the spirits of gods. They are not animals anymore. Once they are settled together, the power must be unimaginable. That is the true beginning of the East-rising Purple Qi!”

Ye Xiao was shocked when he heard Erhuo’s explanation.

He didn’t know that the East-rising Purple Qi had never been truly started.

Erhuo’s explanation was clear. “It started, but it has never run at the true speed of the East-rising Purple Qi. The East-rising Purple Qi is the most powerful martial art in the universe. It requires the guardian of the thirteen spirits.

“Each spirit will accelerate the East-rising Purple Qi, making it twice faster!

“When the thirteen spirits are all settled, you will be improving a hundred times faster! It is not just thirteen times!

“In other words, one year of cultivation for you is like a hundred years of painful cultivation for the others. If you used the pure purple qi from the Boundless Space, you will be three times faster... Which means... Master, if you cultivate one day, it should be as much as a normal cultivator do it for one whole year!

“That is the true power of the East-rising Purple Qi!”

Whenever Ye Xiao thought of Erhuo’s words, he was thrilled!

He only needed to cultivate one day to get the improvement of the others that could get from one full year of cultivation!

That was the reasonable speed of the magnificent martial art!

“Since you have already entered the Immortality Stage, you are one of the most powerful men in the world. With that incredible cultivation power, you can go wherever you want. You will safely return to the Monarch’s Hall.” The Flower King said, “Lord Monarch, I need to ask for a leave to go home and see my family.”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Of course. Be careful.”

The Flower King was surprised. He said, “Yes, I will.”
