Although Ye Xiao wanted one of the ten spots of the Seven Star Sect so that he could participate in the competition of all first levelled sects before going to participate in the Competition of the Myriad Worlds, he still hold himself back and asked, "Sect Leader Ling, are you sure about this. Are you sure that you could give me anything I want!"
"Of course, as long as it is within my capability!" Ling Yicheng smiled gently and replied without putting the air of a high and mighty being that is the leader of the strongest first-levelled sect of the Immortal Star World!
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, could you give me a spot to participate in the competition amongst First-Levelled Sects where ten candidates will be chosen to represent the Immortal Star World in the Competition of the Myriad Worlds?"
Silence!
No one spoke as the entire spacious room turned silent. The sect leader of the Seven Star Sect kept looking at Ye Xiao for a while before taking a deep breath and he said, "Ok! Although you are not a disciple of my Seven Star Sect, since I have already given you my words that as long as it is within my capability, I'll definitely give you whatever you want, I'll give you one spot... But under one condition!"
"What condition?" Asked Ye Xiao!
"Since this spot belongs to my Seven Star Sect, you have to represent the Seven Star Sect in the competition, do you agree?" Said the Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sect, Ling Yicheng.
Ye Xiao thought for a while before he nodded his head and said, "Ok, I agree!"
One, he needed this spot no matter what, and second, it was not like he was a real disciple of the Seven Star Sect. In this competition, he was just going to represent the Seven Star Sect.
"Ok, I'll arrange a place for you to stay for the time being. There are not many days left before the competition will start. I also have to talk with the elders of the Seven Star Sect before giving you this spot, so you have to wait patiently!" Ling Yicheng said.
Ye Xiao agreed with him. Ling Yicheng called a servant and ordered him to bring Ye Xiao and arrange a place for him to stay, while he himself arranged a meeting with the elders of the Seven Star Sect to ask for their opinion.
Qin Yi Yue was left inside the room alone with Ling Sen. Anyway, both of them loved each other and were about to marry each other. So, it is not that inappropriate for Qin Yi Yue to stay in Ling Sen's room.
Ling Yicheng's order was immediately followed by the servant. He brought Ye Xiao in front of a smaller version of Palace and settled him there.
.....
Inside a hall, many elders were sitting on their corresponding seats. Ling Yicheng was also the same. He was sitting on the seat of the Sect Leader.
"Sect Leader, you have to consider this matter again. We all know how important this competition is for any sect. How can you give a spot to an outsider?" A middle-aged man who has a long scar on his face asked Sect Leader Ling Yicheng while reminding him how important the competition was for them.
"Yes, sect leader, I also don't agree to give one of the ten spots to an outsider." Another elder disapproved of Sect Leader Ling Yicheng.
And After that elder, many elders started disagreeing with Ling Yicheng's decision to give a spot to Ye Xiao.
Sect Leader Ling Yicheng shook his head and said, "You all... Sigh! You have to look at the bigger picture. That boy called Ye Xiao is not weak at all, he is very strong. He can fight above his cultivation base, What is more, he actually has Divine Sea. Do you understand? He has Divine Sea. Just think about it, how amazing it would be if we can make him stay in the Seven Star Sect as our sect's disciple?"
"Then why don't you directly offer him to become our disciple. We will definitely do our best to nurture him." The scar-faced elder once again said.
"I have already asked him. He refused to join any sect. It is also one of the reasons why I want to give one spot to him. Think about it, after the competition, if he will agree, our sect will greatly benefit. Even if he doesn't agree to become the disciple of our Seven Star Sect, he will still represent our Seven Star Sect in this competition. I don't see any harm giving him one of the ten spots!"
Ling Yicheng explained.
The elders started thinking carefully and after a long discussion, they finally agreed to give Ye Xiao a spot.
.....
After two hours, Ye Xiao entered the Universe in his mind and went straight to the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
The moment he created a Solar System, he was able to come and go out of the Universe in his mind. It was at that time that he discovered that the Spirit Stealing Fruit that he had planted a long time ago has spurted out and has even given birth to a small fruit.
Maybe, it had been already spurted out when the Heavenly Pearl went inside his mind and transformed into a Universe. Since Ye Xiao was unable to go inside, he didn't know anything.
Today was the day when the Spirit Stealing Fruit has matured. Ye Xiao had a huge fluctuation of energy on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and immediately arrived here.
He saw the surrounding Spirit Energy being devoured crazily by the Spirit Energy Fruit just like the time when he saw it devouring the spirit energy from the world for the very first time.
The only difference was that at that time, the Spirit Stealing Fruit was only Seventh Tier Medicinal Fruit while now, it was Low-Levelled Immortal Rank Medicinal Fruit.
Only after devouring the spirit energy of the entire Second Floor did the Spirit Stealing Fruity finally matured. Ye Xiao could clearly see a golden-coloured fruit in front of him.
Ye Xiao was already a Middle-Stage Immortal Lord Realm martial artist, so a Low-Levelled Immortal Rank Medicinal Fruit would not be of much help to his cultivation base.
But since it was the Spirit Stealing Fruit that could once again steal the spirit energy from the world, Ye Xiao was confident that he could break through to the Immortal King Realm from the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm with the help of this fruit. But right now, he was only a Middle-Stage Immortal Lord Realm martial artist so there was still a long time before he could use the Spirit Stealing Fruit.
For now, Ye Xiao harvested the Spirit Stealing Fruit and carefully stored it inside his spatial ring.
Ye Xiao already knew that one plant of the Spirit Stealing Fruit could only give birth to one Spirit Stealing Fruit and after it was plucked out, its plant would dry up and die. The same thing happened with the plant of the Spirit Stealing Fruit on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda when Ye Xiao plucked out the Spirit Stealing Fruit.
It died!
After storing the Spirit Stealing Fruit inside his spatial ring, Ye Xiao directly went to the newly unlocked Fourth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, wanting to see what was there.
The Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda was already no use of him for the time being. He just hoped for some useful function on the Fourth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda just like the First and Second Floor.
The First Floor could let him cultivate in the ratio of 3:1 in the Lower Realm. The three days inside the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda was equivalent to only one day outside. This ratio increased to 10:1 after his ascension to the Immortal Star World and this was something Ye Xiao found out after he was again able to enter and exit the Universe in his mind.
The Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda was of course very useful for growing out plants and medicinal herbs, and also their evolution.
As for the Third Floor, it was filled with the True Essence which Ye Xiao could not absorb for the time being. he could only wait for the day patiently when he could absorb the True Essence from the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda easily.
He has some high hope regarding the Fourth Floor!
The moment Ye Xiao appeared on the Second Floor, he was immediately forced to kneel down because of the Immense pressure that suddenly descended upon him. Ye Xiao tried to stand up but he actually failed.
Only after carefully inspecting the Fourth Floor did he found out that the pressure that suddenly descended upon him was because of the gravity that was many times more than that of the outside world.
