Chapter 527 - Ch 527: Divine Realm

"So, are you planning to use that gate right now or later?"

Ye Xiao thought for a while and then answered, "I still have two days in my hand, I'll use it right now and come back in two days. Anyways, this is just like the First Floor, using the gate will affect the time. For me, twenty days will be equal to two days in the outside world. It's enough for now... I think!"

Queen nodded her head and said, "Right. Using this gate, you can travel to any world you want, you can even go to the Divine Realm. But you can use this gate to go to each world only two times at most. You have to carefully plan where you want to go and properly make use of this opportunity to raise your strength."

Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied, "Yeah! I can also go back to the Lower Realm and even to the Divine Realm. There is nothing worth for me to go to the Lower Realm. As for the worlds of the Upper Realm, there is no need to waste my time doing that. So, I'm planning to go to the Divine Realm. I've heard many things about the Divine Realm and Divine Beings. I just want to see what kind of world this Divine Realm is."

"Divine Realm is not just one world." Queen shook her head and continued to say, "Just like the Upper Realm, there are many worlds in the Divine Realm. But you can just directly go to any world since this is your first time. There is no need to go any pre-fixed world."

Ye Xiao nodded his head, looked at Queen with warm gazes, extended his hand towards her, and asked, "Would you like to come with me, my Queen?"

"Hehe! Sure! why not?"

Queen nodded her head and placed her hand in Ye Xiao's hand.

Ye Xiao's smile became even wider. He then turned to look at the gate in front of him, placed his hand, and muttered: "Send us to the Divine Realm!"

The gate opened on its own with a flash of light that enveloped both Ye Xiao and Queen.

Following a burst of white light, Ye Xiao suddenly breathed a fresh air that he had never breathed in before.

"Welcome to the Divine Realm." Queen laughed and said.

Ye Xiao only saw himself on a prairie. It was still night time but the starlight emitted by the countless stars in the sky illuminated this prairie that was releasing this bizarre fresh air.

"There's no spirit Energy here, what kind of energy is this? Wait... isn't this...?" Ye Xiao asked puzzledly since he actually couldn't absorb that kind of energy. But suddenly he came to a realization as a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Queen nodded her head and replied, "Indeed As you have already guessed, this is not the Spirit Energy but the True Essence. Divine Beings can only absorb True Essence, so, only True Essence flow in the air of the Divine Realm. If you want to absorb Spirit Energy, you have to take support of a Divine Formation or use some sort of secret technique. This is how kids people below Divine Lord train."

"Divine Lord?" Ye Xiao muttered.

"Yes, Divine Lord." Queen nodded her head and replied, "After transforming into a Divine Being, a martial artist steps into the Divine Lord Realm before ascending to the Divine Realm from the Upper Realm. There are Seven Levels of Mortal Realm starting from Body Refinement to Martial Saint Realm. There are Six Levels of Immortal Realm starting from Immortal Foundation to Dao Manifestation Realm. The same goes for the Divine Cultivation Realm. There are several Levels of Divine Cultivation Realm."

"You'll get to know about all these with time. You can also take this opportunity when you are here to find out more about these things since these are the basics."

"Can not you tell me?" Ye Xiao asked.

Queen shook her head and replied, "I won't. You should find out about these things yourselves."

Ye Xiao nodded his head. Then he thought of something and asked, "First was the Lower Realm, then there was the Upper Realm, and now, there is this Divine Realm. Is there any other higher-levelled plane above the Divine Realm?"

Queen nodded and then shook her head. She replied in a strange manner, "Actually, even I don't know about this. I was born before the birth of Lower, Upper, or the Divine Realm. There were worlds, but it was not divided into realms like Lower, Upper, or Divine Realm. But after a great war of my era, Heavens divided the universe into Lower, Upper, and Divine Realm. I think Divine Realm should be the end of Heavens. There shouldn't be any other Higher-Levelled Realms in the Heavens."

Ye Xiao took note of a few points such as the words "Great War of my era, Heavens divided the Universe, and there shouldn't be any other Higher-Levelled Realm above the Divine Realm in the Heavens."

Ye Xiao's heart started palpitating rapidly. He wanted to ask something but was stopped by Queen. She said, "Even if you ask more, I'm not gonna answer. Something is best to know when time is perfect and such things are best to leave it as it is when the time is not right." 

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and then looked at his surroundings. He muttered, "The True Essence here is indeed dense, but it is not denser than the True Essence on the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda."

"I can not absorb it directly but it can still be devoured me."

Ye Xiao felt the dense True Essence around him and immediately activated the ability "Devour". Very quickly, he felt a large amount of True Essence entering his body. As expected, the True Essence was extremely tyrannical and turbid. Although it contained a very dense amount of energy, it was still not something that any Immortal can refine.

But since Ye Xiao devoured it, it had already lost its tyranny and became extremely docile. Ye Xiao was able to refine it very easily.

"Where should I start now? It seems like I have to go to some places where there are people to understand what kind of world is this world." Ye Xiao looked around and did not know which direction to go.

"Wait, it's best if you don't let others know that you came from the Upper Realm. Most of the people in the Divine Realm look down on people from other Upper Realm just like how the people of Upper Realm feel about the people from the Lower Realm." Queen stopped Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao walked and urged Queen: "Tell me something about this Divine Realm, where should I go now?"

Ye Xiao spread his divine sense but could not find any right direction to go. So he asked for Queen's help since she is the Queen of Plants and could communicate with any plant. She can easily find out the right direction to go.

Following Queen's guidance, Ye Xiao changed his direction and headed straight for a City.

According to Queen, the city she was leading Ye Xiao to was a huge city surrounded by tall stone walls. Furthermore, there was a very strong array formation laid, causing people to unable to fly in from the sky nor could they fly out. When entering and exiting, one would have to pass through the city gates.

It took Ye Xiao more than five hours to arrive in front of this city. Surprisingly, this city was called Sacred Pill City. It also meant that this city was meant for the Alchemists.

After entering the city, Ye Xiao saw a lot of medicine shops, there were a lot of people here, and he could even find some people with strength above Dao Manifestation Realm while walking on the road.

It was another matter that he could not tell what their actual strength or cultivation base was, but he could tell that they are Divine Beings.

Although this was the Sacred Pill City, not everyone refined pills here. It was just that the medicinal pills here were more ancient and the Alchemists were all very outstanding, more and more compared to the Upper Realms. High Ranking Alchemists could be found everywhere here. There were also alchemists who could refine Divine Pills.

There were many pedestrians on the wide streets and most of the people here were of the fire attribute. Ye Xiao could feel that many people's fire attribute aura was very pure. He could also feel many people were concocting pills. This was no wonder that this city was called the Sacred Pill City.

Suddenly, a crisp and cold yell came from the front, "Those who care about their lives, quickly get out of the way!"

The people on the street immediately moved to the sides with helpless expressions on their faces.. It was obvious that they were used to such things.
