Almighty Realm Peak!
Bai Ningxue glared upon hearing the sudden question. She didn’t know who he was. Her curious father asked her if she knew which clan he was from. The elders also leaned in to listen. Ningxiu sighed and waved. Pulling her sister along out of the hall, she said, “What does it have to do with you?”
Patriarch Bai: “What is she hiding it from me for?”
The elders also grumpily exchanged look but didn’t comment since it was fine as long as Yang Tian won.
Ningxue pinched her eyebrows together. “What are you doing, Ningxiu?”
Ningxiu glanced back and curled her lips. She complained, “Do I really have to punish you before you’re honest?”
Bai Ningxue curled her lips as a confused reaction.
The sisters were in Ningxue’s room. There was a fragrance. Ningxiu looked around, sat down on a chair and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Sly, Ningxiu went over to the painting zone and pulled out a painting to Ningxue’s chagrin. Ningxiu smiled slyly in response to Ningxue’s expression. She opened the scroll, revealing a youth. He climbed Fortune Celestial Staircase. There were four beasts accompanying him. He had a halo overhead. He was awe-inspiring. The painting was amazingly realistic. Ningxiu nodded. She thought she’d seen him. She remarked, “You still not going to admit you know each other?!”
Ningxue blushed and snatched the painting. “How do you know I have this painting?”
Ningxui pointed at Ningxue. She grabbed her belly and laughed. “Look at you blushing…”
Ningxue stamped her feet. “Shut up, lass!”
Ningxiu poked her tongue. “Hehe, why should I? Fess up. Who is he? What’s your relationship with him? So he’s been pretending to not recognise you. How sly.”
Ningxue froze. Recalling the scene, she replied, “He disappeared…”
“Disappeared…? Did the scum abandon you? I’ll go talk to him.”
Flustered and exasperated, Ningxue responded, “What are you talking about? The two of us don’t know each other. Don’t say misleading things.”
“Huh? What did you paint him for if you don’t know him?” Raising her pitch, Ningxiu asked, “You don’t have a crush on him, do you?
“Hmph, you can stop worrying, then. He’s probably dead already.”
Ningxiu laughed so hard she was in tears. “I’m dying. You have a crush on Brother Meng when you don’t even know him…”
“Brother Meng…”
Bai Ningxue was the girl Yang Tian rescued on Fortune Celestial Staircase when she fell, helping her avoid grievous wounds. He possessed the same aura as Meng Tian before.
Ningxiu waved her hand in front of a spaced-out Ningxue. “What’s the matter?”
“Are you saying Meng Tian is the one in the painting?”
“Yeah. He used Disguise Technique to change his appearance. His appearance in the painting was his initial appearance. Who is he?”
“He… is Yang Tian!”
“What?!”
After hearing Ningxiu recount the events after saving Yang Tian, Ningxue remarked, “He truly is a man who creates legends. He was only a Battle Emperor, yet he dared to cross Eastern Sea.”
“He helped you once, so he hasn’t forgotten you, has he, gorgeous?”
“Helped me once…” Ningxue shook her head, sorrowful she could only watch him leave the first time they met.
Yang Tian was led to a bright, secret room over one and half square kilometres large. He touched his nose and sat underneath his vitality divine tree. He shut his eyes to begin cultivating, deciding to ascend to Almighty Realm Peak for the day. It was within his grasp after being injured. He just needed something potent to assist. As such, he consumed a piece of a kui dragon’s flesh. He leaked vital essence. Dao sounds rumbled. His bones brimmed with energy. The energy cleansed his body.
One day later, Yang Tian fired a golden beam from his head. It rumbled. It emitted power. Dao recitals were endless. The recitals gradually grew louder. He opened his eyes, Golden lightning fired out. His voice shook the hazy void. He grew stronger! He consumed kui dragon flesh. His body temperature rose. His energy grew more and more amazing.
Yang Tian opened his eyes three days later. He nodded after moving his limbs. He was a third stronger than before after consolidating his upgrade. He summoned the golden sheet to his hand. He imbued it with golden energy. It began to recite dao contents. Profound energy seeped out. The sheet rustled. After a while, he sighed. It wasn’t enough. Even if he could open it, he couldn’t cultivate the contents, for he most likely lacked qi and blood.
The next day, he opened his eyes when the sun shone in. Someone gently knocked on the door when he planned to get up and leave. He stood up and went to the door. It was the scheduled day he could access the soul accumulation pool. He opened the door and saw Bai Ningxue. What a surprise the genius personally came to grab him.
