YANG LUJIA HAD all of the former city lords and city ancestors mobilize all their respective people for their new expedition toward a higher realm, Da Shikong.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Xia Zhiguang said as he stood midair with his friend, Bai Qian and Wang Lingyun; their hands clasped on their backs.
“Neither can we,” Bai Qian replied. “I never imagined ascending with several of my people with me. I was even sad about leaving my family. I wonder how he’s going to do it, though? Was he that strong enough to even interfere with the passage where only Saints were supposed to tread on?”
“I also wonder.” Wang Lingyun held his beard as he also contemplated the matter. “But from the way he talks, it seems like he is confident in bringing us all there. I have no other choice as well. He hasn’t fulfilled his promise in extending my lifespan as well.”
Xia Zhiguang nodded in agreement. “It seems so. You know what? He’s the only person I can’t read with my Divination Path, using the fate rules. Whenever I’d try to divine his future or his life, it was like I was only looking at a blank slate that could attack me without notice. Back then, when I tried to divine him, I ended up having a backlash. He even found out that I spied on him using the fate rules.”
“As I’ve figured,” Bai Qian said as he sighed, staring at the high and mighty Yang Lujia standing above them, commanding the others of their designations..
“The moment we arrived at Da Shikong, we will be assigning each of you to your designated positions,” Yang Lujia said as he stared back at the three city ancestors. “I will leave it to the three of you for their specific assignments. While we’re on our way there, I will think of the right names for your positions. For now, you will help me lead your people without causing any chaos.”
They stayed for one year before they decided to go altogether. However, the Death Purge of Da Sishen wasn’t done yet. It was also a year ago when Long Guang chose to ascend to Da Shikong.
Yang Lujia didn’t know about his situation, but he thought he might only be worrying for nothing. Instead, he should focus on making everyone ascend with him. With the world he created for Long Guang, he was thinking of bringing them with him, making such a world as their carrier to pass through the passage which only Saints could pass through.
“Alright, that’s settled then,” Yang Lujia said as he nodded to his own plan without even consulting the others.
“Master, are you thinking about using the world of Long Guang as your carrier to pass through that ascension passage?” Brownie asked, lying on Yang Lujia’s arms while being stroked by the latter. “It wasn’t a bad idea, but it could cause damage to the world core you made for that world—”
“That won’t matter. I’m just going to fix it then. On the other hand, do you have any better idea, though?”
“I actually have one, but it might not be possible even for you,” Brownie said with a solemn look on his face as a puppy.
“Oh? There’s something I still can’t do? What might it be, Brownie?” Yang Lujia joked. Of course, he still had things he could not do no matter how powerful he was now.
“It’s the use of codes,” Brownie replied. “If you will leave the Five Realms, master, you will naturally understand what I am talking about. For now, you may have the strength to protect yourself from the void, but you definitely don’t have the strength to specifically know the place you’re intending to land.”
“I see,” Yang Lujia said. “That’s also the thing that happened when I came from Da Shenghou to Da Sishen. Instead of arriving directly in a large city like the Death City, we instead arrived in a forest near a village in the Eastern Territory. Oh, right, do you know about void beasts?”
“Nah, master, they’re just slightly stronger than the beasts in the realm where they are just a short distance away from.”
“Oh, that’s why they were weak, but they’re delicious, though,” Yang Lujia replied, his eyes sparkling with delight. “Should I catch one while going to Da Shikong?”
“…”
At the time, Brownie just pretended to sleep. He himself was a void beast but someone who had the bloodline of among the strongest tribes in the void. If Yang Lujia would have thought of eating him, wouldn’t he just been a step away from death?
Yang Lujia saw through his thoughts and said, “Don’t worry. I am not going to eat you. Your mouth alone makes me want to vomit.”
Brownie bared his teeth and scoffed as he decided to really sleep this time. On the other hand, Yang Lujia was followed by Metallie. The latter was just munching some of the metals Yang Lujia found while he was exploring Da Sishen during the year that they stayed here.
“Metallie, can you fight saints now?”
“Yes, master,” Metallie replied.
“There should be something that divides the strength of Saints, right? Would it still be the same with leveling up, like they’re ten stages?”
Metallie looked at Yang Lujia with a questioning look. The latter just sighed and shook his head. “I should have asked another person.” When he roamed his eyes around, he saw Xia Jieke and grabbed him by his robe, instantly appearing above the area where they were preparing everything they needed to prepare.
“Xia Jieke, you’re a Saint now, right?” Yang Lujia impolitely asked. “I have something to ask.”
“You may ask, brother,” Xia Jieke replied without restraint.
“First of all, I would like you to pardon my questions. Unbelievably, I haven’t felt anything since I started cultivating as a baby. I just felt my strength become stronger as time passes by. I don’t meditate as you all do. I don’t practice techniques or arts. I only read them. Anyway, you pretty much understand what I said, right?”
“…”
No matter how composed Xia Jieke was, he almost lost all the blood on his face when he heard Yang Lujia’s words.
“Brother, did you just say you started cultivating as a baby? Like a real infant?” He couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Lujia pondered on how Xia Jieke worded his question with a rub on his chin and said, “Yes, isn’t it normal, though? Don’t you start cultivating technically at birth? Even my second disciple had done that, so I thought it was just a normal thing to do, and based on your reaction just now, you do not cultivate as a baby, right?”
“…”
