After the girls were confirmed that Ye Xiao is really going to break through and ascend to the Divine Realm, they felt reluctant in their hearts. Although they have spent a few months together, it was not enough to make their hearts satisfied. They felt as if they have only spent a few days together with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao helplessly laughed. If not for not the Sea Of Samsara, he also wouldn't want to separate from his women. But, from the looks of it and how the token, with the character 'D' and the carving of lifelike Dragon and Phoenix hugging each other, behaved, Ye Xiao knew the so-called Sea Of Samsara is definitely not a simple place. There must be something special about it.
If not for Ye Xiao was not left with much time, he would have chosen to stay in the Upper Realm for a few more years and spent all his time with his women.
Unfortunately, maybe this was not what fate wanted for him to do.
He was left with only a few months before the opening of Sea Of Samsara. Although he could directly use the Gate on the Fifth Floor of Nine Story Pagoda to go to the Divine Realm, he chose not to do so.
Previously, when the token brought his consciousness to the place where a huge black whirlpool that looked like a black hole was spinning, he had seen hundreds of people there at that time. Every individual there were powerful people. Ye Xiao was unable to see through their cultivation base maybe because only his consciousness was there.
In short, Ye Xiao understood many powerful people will enter the Sea Of Samsara this time. With his current strength, although he can deal with a Worldly Divine Lord, face a Heavenly Divine Lord, and escape under the watch of a Ruler, it was still not enough to ensure his safety in the Divine Realm.
Who knows how many old monsters are there in the Divine Realm. If even one of them were to appear in front of Ye Xiao, no one knows what'll happen.
So, to be safe, Ye Xiao wanted to first break through to the Divine Lord Realm and ascend to the Divine Realm before going to the place where the Sea Of Samsara is going to open.
He was not worried about going to the place where the huge black whirlpool is constantly spinning in the air. He has the map given by the token with the character 'D' and also has the Dimensional Gate that can help him travel through dimensions. He can appear in any world he wants in just a few seconds. So, he was not worried.
Since Ye Xiao was going to ascend to the Divine Realm, he decided to ask Xue Xiaofei and the other girls if they wanted to stay in the Nine Story Pagoda and go to the Divine Realm with him. Inside the Nine Story Pagoda, they can cultivate faster than the outside world and it'll only take them a few years to break through to the Divine Lord Realm.
After thinking it thoroughly, the girls decided not to go to the Divine Realm with him. They decided to stay in the Spirit Martial Sacred Land for the time being and cultivate diligently. With the Earthly Spirit Essence that Ye Xiao had provided them, they were confident to become a Late Stage Divine Tribulation Stage martial artist in the next dozens of years and breakthrough to the Divine Lord Realm in the next hundred years.
They were not worried at all.
They wanted to ascend to the Divine Realm on their own and not through a back door.
Ye Xiao didn't know when the girls will ascend to the Divine Realm and where they'll appear after ascending, so he left a soul mark on the girls' souls to track them.
After the girls will ascend to the Divine Realm, Ye Xiao will be able to sense them immediately. At that time, he'll be able to find them easily.
Knowing this, the girls didn't object to Ye Xiao for leaving a Soul Mark on their souls. They happily agreed.
.....
"Xiaofei, is there a suitable place where I can cultivate and breakthrough?"
Xue Xiaofei nodded her head and said, "There are a lot of places. But the most suitable place for cultivation is the forbidden land of my Spirit Martial Sacred Land. Come with me!"
Xue Xiaofei brought Ye Xiao and the other four girls with him to the forbidden land. The forbidden land was covered with a strong barrier formed from a Pseudo-Divine Level Formation. Because of this barrier, no one could see what is behind it.
Xue Xiaofei took out a token and the barrier didn't obstruct them from entering. The moment they entered the forbidden land, they opened their eyes wide because they felt as if they have arrived in an entirely new world.
Looking at the faces of other girls and Ye Xiao, Xue Xiaofei smiled and said, "This is the forbidden land of my Spirit Martial Sacred Land. You guys might have already sensed that this is a completely different world. You guys already know my Spirit Martial Sacred Land used to be a First Level Sect called Spirit Martial Sect. My sect was founded by my master."
"When the sect was founded, many enemies attacked the sect to rob the resources. In their eyes, a newly established sect doesn't have much power. However, my master easily defeated them. Among the people who attacked the sect, there was a powerful Ancient Immortal. My master relied on a treasure to defeat that enemy. That person was on the verge of death. Taking the advantage of the opportunity where the opponent can't resist, my master used a secret technique that she found in an ancient ruin to forcefully dig out the opponent's small world. This forbidden land used to be that person's small world."
"After the small world was dug out, that person immediately died. Because the small world was forcefully dug out and my master didn't let it blend in with the Heavenly Dao, all the lives inside also died. After that, my master made this Small World into the forbidden land of Spirit Martial Sect. Now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, this forbidden land has already become a part of Immortal Heaven World, and at the same time, it is still different and not a part of Immortal Heaven World."
"You can cultivate here. As you can sense, the spirit energy here is denser than in the outside world. No one will disturb you here!"
The girls sucked in a cold breath of air when they heard this. This is the first time when they heard that a small world can be forcefully dug out from a martial artist's body.
Well, among the people present, only Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er were not shocked. It is because they already have met a person who had forcefully dug out his own small world. It is Su Xue Er's ancestor, the founder of the Xiao Family, the original owner of the Holy Beast Continent.
Ye Xiao could sense that spirit energy here is denser than in the outside world. This was really a suitable place for cultivation. He nodded his head and said, "Ok then, I'll cultivate here and breakthrough. After breaking through, I'll see you guys one last time before ascending to the Divine Realm."
The girls were reluctant but still nodded their heads. They knew they can't stay with Ye Xiao for the time being. It is good that Ye Xiao has left a Soul Mark on them. After they'll ascend to the Divine Realm, Ye Xiao will come and take them with him.
The girls left, leaving behind Ye Xiao alone in the forbidden land.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the surroundings. The surroundings were beautiful.
Unlike other forbidden lands which seem like a barren land, a desert, or something like that, this forbidden land has lush green forests, tall mountains, joyful waterfalls, rhythmic rivers, and many other beautiful sceneries.
Ye Xiao first enjoyed the scenery for a few hours. He took a tour of the entire forbidden land. This forbidden land used to be the small world of an Ancient Immortal Realm martial artist. Because of this, it was already slightly bigger. It was the size of the Azure Sky Continent.
Ye Xiao enjoyed the scenery. He also saw many dilapidated houses. These houses used to be the home of aboriginals. But now, not a single life was left here. All the lives died just because of the fault of the original owner of this small world.
Xue Xiaofei's master can't be blamed for digging out the small world from that person's body. If that person wouldn't have come to find trouble with her and her sect, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened and the aboriginals here wouldn't have died.
The world is full of danger.
At what step, what will happen, no one knows.
Ye Xiao sighed and then went to a mountain peak to cultivate.
