The sun rose and set with the turn of the Big Dipper.

Ye Que cultivated without moving on top of the Peony Pavilion for twenty-four hours.

Integrating with heaven and earth, he learned about heaven and earth as well as himself and the law of life. No one disturbed him.

The golden sunset glow enveloped Luoyang and cast its radiance on Ye Que’s face. When the sun disappeared into the mountains, Ye Que opened his eyes. The air around him froze in that split second before fiercely disintegrating. The rapidly spinning Spiritual Force, Imperial Qi, and Astral Force dissipated in the air. Ye Que’s silhouette slowly became clear, only this time his skin was clearer and his eyes were brighter. Even the curves of his body seemed to be imbued with a natural explosive force.

The mountains were still the same mountains, water was still the same water, and heaven and earth were still the same heaven and earth.

However, everything had changed to Ye Que.

“This Divine Book undoubtedly deserves its title as a treasure that was born alongside heaven and earth, to be able to send me straight into the Pre-heaven Realm on the first day I’m cultivating. I’ve even surpassed the threshold of being a martial artist. This is at least a hundredfold faster than the cultivation technique of Qingqiu Sword Sect. Back when I first cultivated the Qingqiu Sword Art, I spent a whopping hundred days to enter the Pre-heaven Realm. If I improve at this current speed, I’ll be able to enter the Psychic Realm in three months at most.” Ye Que was pleased to know he would be truly stepping on the road to immortality after entering the Psychic Realm. Everything had gone much smoother than he had imagined.

He stood up, closed his eyes, and carefully examined his internal state.

“What is this?”

“I didn’t see wrongly, did I?”

“Primordial Heaven Realm!”

When he saw the fine gold thread on the snowy mountain in his heart, he couldn’t help exclaiming aloud regardless of how calm he was. In fact, it was no wonder he was so surprised. One could only condense the Primordial Heaven Energy in the Celestial World. It would only appear after one passed the Heaven-bridging Path and had the Immortal Qi of the Celestial World purify one’s body.

In the Human World, if the conversion of the Spiritual Force into the True Energy was considered electrical power, then the conversion of Divine Energy would be akin to nuclear power.

One could imagine just how great the gap between electricity and nuclear power was.

Even though there was only a tiny wisp of the Divine Energy, many little things would add up to something great. He would eventually achieve the Milky Way.

Clenching his fists, he suddenly exerted his strength. Suddenly, he heard a series of crackling sounds coming from all over his body. “It’s such a feeling to have power!”

If the present Ye Que was placed in front of the General’s Manor yesterday, he would surely react differently to Ye Yunhai’s threat and provocation. He would now make easy work out of those tall and big soldiers, even if they had been to the battlefield and had tasted blood. Strictly speaking, he had just entered the Pre-heaven Realm. However, one mustn’t forget that Ye Yue wasn’t a newbie whose cultivation soared overnight. He was the Demon-slaughtering Asura whose combat experience was madly off the charts.

Perhaps due to the fact that Ye Que comprehended heaven and earth in Luoyang City, it was yet another full moon night after sunset descended. Stars twinkled all over the cloudless night sky.

Instead of going to the lobby on the ground floor, Ye Que asked the waiter to send his meal to his room. On the one hand, he needed to stabilize his state and mull over the mnemonic chant of the Divine Book. On the other hand, he was also sorting out the large collection of fighting skills in his mind. Some of the sword arts, spirit-summoning techniques, formations, and the like were suitable for his use at his present stage while others weren’t. This was the process of selecting the essence of the matter to master the subject.

Ye Que knew better than anyone what the world was like.

The law of the jungle was that the weak were prey to the strong.

The one with the stronger fist would survive.

The resources of the three worlds were limited and everyone, regardless of human or demons, wanted the best. That was why humans would advocate slaying demons in the name of justice. However, if demons were slaughtered to the point of oppression, the Demon World would be cut off from its roots and would experience the danger of genocide. Even a panicked dog would jump over the wall, never mind demons.

“Invade the Human World, save our people, and recapture the homeland of demons.” This had become the slogan of the Demon World that all the demons responded to. If he remembered correctly, the first batch of demons had arrived in the Human World when Ye Que left Luoyang to enter the Qingqiu Sword Sect in his previous life. After a careful calculation of the timing, he determined it would be these few days.

After a simple meal, Ye Que sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to cultivate. The strange phenomenon last night didn’t appear again. He assumed it was the reward for comprehending the Divine Book for the first time. It was reasonable as well. If it was so powerful every step of the way, the Divine Book would become too great an existence to stay in the three worlds.

It was getting dark. More and more diners filled the lobby of the Peony Pavilion. The 19 tables on the ground floor were occupied. In the innermost corner, one man and one woman occupied a table meant for eight. The table was covered in all sorts of exotic delicacies.

The man wore a silk gown, with a jade pendant and spice sachet tied at his waist. In his hand was a folding fan painted with green bamboo stalks and plum blossoms. The woman had an enchanting figure. On her oval face were red lips, white teeth, a tall nose, sculpted eyebrows that were vaguely knitted, as well as phoenix eyes that looked vaguely annoyed. She was a beautiful woman with a full face. Both of them could be called a beautiful pair. However, upon careful observation, one could see that the woman’s beauty was haunting. Unexpectedly, she was able to coquettishly provoke the man seven times in the time it took to finish two cups of wine.
