Chapter 1655: I am Going Out

I am Going Out . . .

"Well, you should be surprised. I am more talented than most people. A few years ago, when I was seventeen years old, I was already invincible in the Land of Han-Yang, where I was born… I actually exceeded the limitation of that realm…" Cha-Eun Xiao breathed a sigh.

"Oh, I see. You were born with gifts. When you exceeded the limitation of your homeworld, you came to the Human Realm Upon Heavens, right? Your power is granted by the heavens. That makes sense…" Chihuo said, trying to explain it.

"What? Human Realm Upon Heavens? No… I went to the Qing-Yun Realm, which is much higher than the Land of Han-Yang." Cha-Eun Xiao said.

"Erh… The Qing-Yun Realm? What is it? How is it, compared to the Human Realm Upon Heavens?" Chihuo was confused.

"Well, it is much higher than the Land of Han-Yang but lower than the Human Realm Upon Heavens. I continued cultivating in the Qing-Yun Realm and then eventually ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens." Cha-Eun Xiao explained about the Qing-Yun Realm. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

That confused Chihuo even more.

"Do you mean… You ascended for the second time?"

"That's right. When I was twenty years old, I was already too powerful for the Qing-Yun Realm… I ascended to the upper realm, which is the Human Realm Upon Heavens… I was at the third level of the Faery Origin Stage. What a talented cultivator I am!" Cha-Eun Xiao started to praise himself.

"The third level of the Faery Origin Stage? You were only at the third level of the Faery Origin Stage…" Chihuo was sweating. He stared at Cha-Eun Xiao with respect and said, "You were at the third level in the beginning, and then you reached level nine of the Faery Origin Stage, and then you reached the Divinity Origin Stage, and then you reached the Saint Origin Stage… Now you are at level four of the Saint Origin Stage… How long did it take you? One and a half years? Really?"

"Well, I think it should be longer than one and a half years." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "About one year and nine months… That is it. I am talented. I am not going to lie about that. But I am not that fast…"

Chihuo was going to pass out.

'I am not going to live anymore!'

'How fast! How incredible! How horrible! What a crazy man…'

Cha-Eun Xiao kept praising himself, calling himself talented, but Chihuo thought it was a disgrace to himself. 'You are much more than just a talented cultivator! You are a monster who grows against the heavens!'

Chihuo was sure. He would swear with the lives of his children. 'Nobody else in the Human Realm Upon Heavens can be as incredibly talented as Cha-Eun Xiao!'

"Master Chihuo! Chihuo! Lord Chihuo!"

Cha-Eun Xiao tried to wake Chihuo up. Chihuo was back to awareness. He looked at Cha-Eun Xiao and said, "Kid… You are such a monster… You are a blow in every cultivator's heart."

Cha-Eun Xiao seriously said, "What are you talking about, Master Chihuo? We are born equal. Every cultivator has a fair chance to reach greatness in cultivation. Hardworking is the only way to reach the goal… How am I a blow in other's heart…?"

"Oh…" Chihuo nearly threw up.

'Born equal? Hardworking?'

'Equal your ass!'

'Hardworking my ass!'

"Well, I met a barrier recently." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "I have this feeling… If I stay in the Hall of Life and Death, I am not going to make any progress in one year staying in the Hall of Life and Death… In fact, I am not going to improve any if I stay in this place for even ten years… I am thinking… Maybe I should…"

"What did you just say? Wait. Just stop." Chihuo stared at Cha-Eun Xiao and said, "Do you want to reach the Immortality Stage in one year? In one year?"

"That's correct. I have reached the top of the seventh level of the Saint Origin Stage. In several days, I will be a level-eight Saint Origin Stage cultivator. In six months, I will reach the top of the Saint Origin Stage!" Cha-Eun Xiao looked at Chihuo and said, "The rest of the year, I must try to get to a new stage. Why do you look surprised? What are you staring at me for? I am satisfied with my progress. Come on. Don't judge me! I must be steady in the progress. I can't do it faster!"

Chihuo wanted to slap Cha-Eun Xiao to death. 'Holy hell! Did I mean that? No! I am not saying you are slow! I am saying that you are too unreasonably fast! You are such an arrogant prick! You are insane! You are crazy!'

'But… But… However… In fact… He seems to be honest. He is just telling the truth. Is he truly going to improve that fast? That is unbelievable! Ridiculous! F*ck… Why was I scared by a kid?'

After a while, Chihuo breathed a sigh and said, "Lord Monarch, you know what? I am glad I made the right choice…"

"You are glad? What do you mean?" Cha-Eun Xiao was confused.

He did want to irritate Chihuo, but he didn't know Chihuo would have such a reaction!

What was it about?

Chihuo didn't explain much. He didn't tell Cha-Eun Xiao all the thoughts in his head. He just said, "Lord Monarch, will you go out? Are you going to travel outside to extend your experience and broaden your view?"

"Exactly. I am. Why do you think I was so eager to help you and keep you in the Monarch's Hall? I want you to keep the Hall of Life and Death under control for me."

Cha-Eun Xiao said, "Without me, the Hall of Life and Death will be destroyed soon."

"If the Hall of Life and Death loses the marvelous doctor, only a top-class superior cultivator could keep it safe. You are the best choice I have got." Cha-Eun Xiao seriously said, "First of all, you are powerful. Second, you have to stay in the Hall of Life and Death because of your special condition. If the Hall of Life and Death is destroyed, you don't get to reach a higher level… You will protect the Hall of Life and Death with your life.

"Third, you are experienced, and you know a lot of people. You are able to deal with all possible situations. Nobody in the Monarch's Hall can do what you can do.

"With you protecting the Monarch's Hall, I can be free to go out and cultivate myself."
