Divine God Against The Heavens

On his way here to the Azure Dragon Country, Ye Xiao not only killed the magical beasts and devoured them, but he also found many treasures of heaven and earth, many spiritual herbs as well as many spiritual fruits.

He refined some pills for himself. He increased his strength not just by devouring the magical beasts but also swallowed many pills and spiritual fruits to increase his strength.

After so much, he finally achieved the required strength that Grandmaster Wang set up for him.

He was now a martial artist at the Peak Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm.

In only one month, he increased his cultivation by four stages. It was quite difficult to achieve this but still, somehow, Ye Xiao managed to do so.

When he left the Azure Dragon Country and entered the Cloudsmoke Forest, at that time he thought that he can not only achieve the required strength set up by his master, Grandmaster Wang, but he can also breakthrough to the Martial King Realm. He could have broke through to the Martial King Realm if his strength would not have been regressed to the First Stage of the Origin Core Realm from the Fourth Stage of the Origin Core Realm.

Knock! Knock!

Ye Xiao arrived in front of the room where his master was currently in.

"Come in." An old voice sounded.

"Squeak!"

Ye Xiao pushed the door and with a 'squeak' sound, the door opened. He went inside and saw that his master was refining pills so he did not disturb him and waited silently.

Grandmaster Wang also didn't see who it was. He continues to refine the pill as he could not diverge his attention at this time. If he did so, there was a high chance that the concoction of pills will fail and the cauldron will explode.

Around one hour later, Grandmaster Wang is finally done with his alchemy stuff. After putting the pills in the pill bottle, he turned back to look at the person who came into this room one hour ago.

"Ye Xiao? You are back!" Grandmaster Wang smiled when he saw it was his disciple who was waiting for him.

"Master!" Ye Xiao greeted him.

"Hmm! Peak Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm. You have really surprised me. In just four months, your strength increased from the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the Peak Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm. Even in the Upper Realm, there are very few people who can achieve this!"

Grandmaster Wang nodded his head as he checked Ye Xiao's cultivation.

"Upper Realm?"

Ye Xiao looked at his master in confusion. 'Upper Realm' was a term he never heard before.

"Eh! You are still too weak. When you will become at least a Ninth Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, I will tell you about the Upper Realm." Grandmaster Wang realised that he misspoke something that he should not have. He didn't explain Ye Xiao anything instead told him to increase his strength.

"Okay! Umm, master, when are going to talk with the King and the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Sects about giving me a spot to enter the Secret Realm?"

"I've already talked with them. They put a condition."

"A condition?"

"Yes, As you know, there are 15 spots given to our Azure Dragon Country. They told me that they will first select the fourteen candidates, and they can give you the last spot but the condition is that you have to win a fight against one of the fourteen candidates."

"Win a fight against one of the fourteen candidates?" Ye Xiao muttered slowly then raised his head and said, "Master I'm ready."

Grandmaster Wang stroked his beard with his right hand then he laughed and said, "Ok then we will go there tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day when the five great sects and the Imperial Family will compete against each other for the spots. you don't have to participate in this competition. You only have to fight against one of the selected fourteen candidates and win against him."

"I will, master." Ye Xiao said with confidence. He took out his sword, looked at it, and said, "Master, I'm going to the Treasure Pavilion. I have to find a sword technique otherwise it would be a waste of this a High-Grade Spirit Rank sword like this."

"Ahm!, from your fight last time in the competition, I found one of your biggest problems, that is, did you find that, in fact, the sword is not suitable for you." Grandmaster Wang looked at Ye Xiao and said a discovered problem.

"What?" Ye Xiao looked at his master with a confused look.

"I wanted to tell you this at the time when I was telling you about the Secret Realm that was discovered by the Grand Xia Empire but I forgot to tell you. I think you should not use the sword as your main weapon. You should change to some other weapon."

"Ah? Master, since I was a child, I wanted to be a swordsman. I wanted to wield a sword and adventure in this world. How can it be that the sword is not suitable for me?

Ye Xiao was a bit surprised to hear the words said by his master, Grandmaster Wang. Although he knows that what he said might not be wrong after all Grandmaster Wang was his master and much more experienced than him, but subconsciously, Ye Xiao still doesn't want to give up the sword.

"Haha, I know your mind. You have different fantasies about swords. But in fact, in my opinion, it is not fated for you to be with the sword." Grandmaster Wang stop for a moment looked at Ye Xiao and continued, "You use the sword mostly to stab straight or slash directly. It is not flexible at all. You can find an excuse for yourself that you have never learned sword arts. But I can tell you the truth, I've seen the world and can tell at a glance whether a person is suitable to use a weapon."

"If you think about it carefully, when you fight against someone, do you take the sword in your hand as a kind of spear, and you always stab it back and forth?"

Hearing the struggle in Ye Xiao's words, Grandmaster Wang laughed and said with a smile.

"Well, it seems to be true. But master, since you think that I'm not suitable for the sword then what weapon should I use?"

After careful consideration, Ye Xiao also found that what his master said was indeed something that left him with no reason to refute. Although he liked swords but, for some reason, during the battle, all the moves that he had been thinking about in his mind to execute with swords couldn't play any role. he just took the sword like a spear and stabbed it around, and slash it randomly. He simply didn't have any rhythm with the sword.

"Generally speaking, a lot of people like to be prejudiced in the first place, especially when they see that others use a certain kind of weapon freely and easily. But in reality, many people don't consider whether they are suitable or not."

"For example, to someone like you, a sword is just a type of obsession. As you said, since your childhood, you have wanted to use a sword as your weapon. As the time passed, this wish of yours became a kind of obsession."

"As for what kind of weapon you should use. I think you should choose a spear as your weapon, after all, subconsciously, you stab with your sword as if it is a spear. You should use a spear and practice with it. If a spear is suitable for you, you will immediately able to perform many things with it that you could not with the sword."

"Yes, Lin Hao, that brat is more suitable for the sword. it is as if he is born to wield a sword. He even achieved the second stage of the Sword Way at such a young age."

Grandmaster Wang explained in detail what Ye Xiao should use as his weapon. He also revealed some breaking news about Lin Hao to Ye Xiao.

"What? Second Stage of the Sword Way?"

"Isn't he only achieved the First Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Light? And by the way, master, What is the second stage of the Sword Way?" Ye Xiao was asked in surprise. Lin Hao's strength was increasing rapidly for some reason. He was curious about Lin Hao but didn't feel jealous of him.

And anyway, why should he feel jealous toward Lin Hao. He has a heaven-defying treasure like the Heavenly Pearl after all.

"Hehe, that was before. But now, Lin Hao had made a big progress toward the Sword Way and comprehended the Second Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Intent."

Grandmaster Wang laughed and explained while stroking his long white beard.
