CHAPTER 1355: CHAPTER 1353: ANCIENT REALM (SUPPLEMENTARY 19TH UPDATE)

"Damn, he’s impressive, even more impressive than me!"

Xiao Yifeng looked amazed, his father was ten times more impressive than he was, daring to utter such commanding words.

"But maybe he’s right, there might truly not be anyone in this world capable of being his master. Although he refused me at first, we became friends and I shared everything with him; we had great conversations."

Master Xiaoyunzi spoke.

"Then why did he suddenly disappear later?"

Xiao Yifeng asked abruptly.

"He didn’t disappear, rather he discovered an ancient secret realm, he entered and stayed there for one or two years. Meanwhile, you and your mother were expelled from the Xiao Family. I got the news later and that’s when I saved both of you."

Master Xiaoyunzi looked at Xiao Yifeng and said.

"What happened next?"

Xiao Yifeng continued to ask.

"Later your father returned from the secret realm, his power had increased to an unimaginable level. But when he learned about the situation with you and your mother, his emotions were incredibly distressed."

"However, after I informed him that your mother was still alive, he managed to hold on. Then, after I told him about the three items needed to revive your mother, he decided to head to the Ancient Realm, determined to find these three items regardless of the price, to bring your mother back."

Master Xiaoyunzi said.

"Is he in the Ancient Realm now?"

"Yes, with my help, he went to the Ancient Realm. As for his current situation, I’m not sure. But with his strength and that monstrous talent back then, he should be able to survive in the Ancient Realm."

"Just finding these three items is as difficult as reaching the heavens, especially the last item, the Angel’s Spirit; acquiring it means confronting the entire Angel Clan."

"No one in the Ancient Realm dares to contend with the Angel Clan, which has a legacy spanning thousands of years. I’m worried he would risk everything for your mother’s life, and endanger his own!"

Master Xiaoyunzi said with a solemn expression.

Only then did Xiao Yifeng fully understand everything; his father had long gone to the Ancient Realm.

"Why didn’t he meet me before leaving, and why didn’t you tell me all this sooner?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Master Xiaoyunzi in confusion.

"He feared that seeing you would make him unable to go to the Ancient Realm, because he’s unwilling to leave you, as you’re his biological son. But for your mother’s sake, he had no choice but to go; your mother was the love of his life."

"Even though your mother was ordinary, she was the greatest in his heart. As for my silence, that was by his request; he didn’t want you to know too early, thinking it wouldn’t be good for your growth. That’s why I kept it from you, and focused on guiding your training, hoping you’d understand once you’d truly grown."

Master Xiaoyunzi said.

"Alright, old man, thank you for everything you’ve done for my mother!"

Xiao Yifeng said gratefully, casting his eyes toward his mother.

"This is what I should do. If I had appeared a little earlier back then, your mother wouldn’t be like this."

Master Xiaoyunzi said with a touch of guilt.

"It’s all fate, no one is to blame. But I believe my mother can come back to life; it seems I must also enter the Ancient Realm soon!"

Xiao Yifeng said firmly.

"You intend to seek the Resurrection Stone, Flawless Herb, and Angel’s Spirit?"

Master Xiaoyunzi asked.

"Since my father ventured to the Ancient Realm alone for these three items for my mother, as her son, I naturally can too. No matter what, I must revive my mother, and find my father to reunite our family."

Xiao Yifeng said with a determined look.

"Kid, I have to give you a reality check. Your aspirations are noble, and your talent is formidable, your Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art is extraordinary, and once you’ve unlocked the Nine Apertures, your entire body will undergo an earth-shaking transformation. But your current strength is still very weak; you’ve only managed to unlock six apertures."

"Even if you reach the Ningxuan Realm and enter the Ancient Realm, surviving there will be extremely hard, let alone finding these three items. You should know that the Ningxuan Realm is merely the starting point for an Ancient Realm Warrior."

"Body Refinement Realm is just the initial grinding phase of training for an Ancient Realm Warrior. In the entire Ancient Realm, the Body Refinement Realm is as common as dirt, and Ningxuan Realm warriors are everywhere, easily crushed underfoot. Your father had reached the Divine Soul Realm before entering the Ancient Realm!"

Master Xiaoyunzi said solemnly.

"Divine Soul Realm?"

Xiao Yifeng expressed surprise.

"The Ancient Realm is divided into ten realms including Body Refinement, each realm has nine sub-levels. You know about Body Refinement and Ningxuan Realm. After Ningxuan Realm comes Gathering Elixir Realm, where cyclones condense into Spirit Pills."

"Then comes the Opening Spirit Realm, which involves awakening one’s Spiritual Sense; once awakened, one can perceive movements within hundreds or even thousands of miles, and perform Spiritual Consciousness Attacks, similar to your clairvoyance."

"Reaching Gathering Elixir Realm and Opening Spirit Realm is considered a strong warrior in the Ancient Realm. Beyond the Opening Spirit Realm is the Hollow Void Realm, at this level you can freely fly in the Ancient Realm, becoming an influential figure there."

"I must inform you, the rules of Heaven and Earth in the Ancient Realm differ from Earth. On Earth, the Void-breaking Realm allows for aerial flight, but in the Ancient Realm, only Hollow Void Realm enables flight; with your current power, entering the Ancient Realm will leave you grounded!"

Master Xiaoyunzi said to Xiao Yifeng.

"Old man, what else? What realm is my father’s Divine Soul?"

Xiao Yifeng eagerly asked.

"After Hollow Void Realm comes the Divine Soul Realm, the watershed for Ancient Realm warriors. Reaching this realm means becoming a top master, revered by the Ancient Realm sects."

"Divine Soul implies the consolidation of one’s Divine Soul. Once a martial artist achieves this, they can detach their Divine Soul; even if their physical body is destroyed, as long as the Divine Soul isn’t drifted, they can reincarnate or possess others."

"This renders multiple life opportunities, marking the true martial arts expert, incredibly hard to kill. Your father gained immense power during his time in the ancient secret realm, reaching this level and then entering the Ancient Realm!"

Master Xiaoyunzi said.

"So powerful!"

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng realized the immense gap between him and his father, currently yet to reach Ningxuan Realm whereas his father was already at the Divine Soul Realm.

With such prowess entering the Ancient Realm, he hasn’t returned yet, clearly still lacking the three items needed to revive his mother.

With his current abilities, even reaching Ningxuan Realm within the Ancient Realm, he’s uncertain how long he must strive to find these items; he surely overestimated himself.
