Ye Xiao took the pill and swallowed it, but to his surprise, he felt no change in his body. Opposite to his expectation, there was no explosion of medicinal energy inside his body and there was no surge of Chaos Energy. There was no change at all.
Ye Xiao frowned and raised his head to look at Su Ling who was also frowning. She could not understand why there was no surge of energy inside Ye Xiao's body or why Ye Xiao was showing no sign of a breakthrough at all.
"Looks like nothing is real here. As expected, everything is just the creation for the trial!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart. At least, he confirmed one thing here.
But then again, was everything really just an illusion, created with the purpose of trial only?
"What happened? Why did your strength not increase?" Su Ling asked in a puzzled tone at this moment.
Ye Xiao simply shrugged his shoulder, gesturing that he has no idea. Although he already have a guess, telling Su Xing anything was not the right thing to do. So, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
But Su Ling was not a fool. The pill she gave Ye Xiao was something that even has the probability of letting a person at the Eighth Realm of Foundation building not only raise their cultivation to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building but also go through the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation.
But now, this pill has no effect on Ye Xiao.
She made a few guesses, and according to her, the pill will not work only in three situations.
First, Ye Xiao has a special body that requires ten times or even a hundred times the energy than normal to step into the next cultivation realm.
Second, Ye Xiao has a special constitution that blocks all the pills from having any kind of effect on him.
Third, there might be a very rare, special, and unique restriction on the people living in the land above that stops pills or any treasure from working on their bodies. Only the treasures obtained in this space, the secret realm, can have an effect on them.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ These three were the main situations in her mind. There were a few more, but those were immediately discarded by Su Ling.
And after some thought, she also discarded the first two situations. Now, only the third situation was left.
Thinking of this, she immediately took out a small blue fruit that was sparkling with starlight, and gave it to Ye Xiao, saying, "This is a Profound Origin Fruit. Swallow it and see if it works on you or not!"
Although Ye Xiao was not confident, he still did not refuse her. Who knows the pill did not work but this fruit might work.
Thinking of this, he sat down cross-legged once again and swallowed the fruit.
The moment he swallowed the Profound Origin Fruit, boundless energy immediately exploded inside his body. Ye Xiao was not ready for this, causing him to feel that a terrifying fire broke out inside his body. He could not help but let out a painful moan, but then he immediately regained his balance and started suppressing the explosive energy inside his body.
Seeing the fruit working, Su Ling's eyes lit up. She muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the third situation is Ye Xiao's situation."
Then she looked at Ye Xiao and spoke: "Profound Origin Fruit is a very rare miraculous medicinal fruit. Below the Chaos Dust Realm, swallowing this fruit will increase one's cultivation by two minor stages. And if it is an extreme genius who requires less energy to improve further, it might even increase their cultivation by three minor stages."
"You need to calm down and suppress the explosive energy. At the same time, circulate your cultivation technique to refine this energy. Although it will take time, I believe you will be able to complete the First Chaotic Transformation at the very least."
Ye Xiao heard Su Ling and started doing as she said. He fully focused on circulating the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique and started refining the explosive energy while suppressing it.
It was very difficult, for the energy inside his body was really boundless and violent. But Ye Xiao persisted and refined the energy bit by bit.
As time passed, he refined more and more energy and improved in every aspect. After just a few hours of refinement, Ye Xiao's cultivation increased to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building. But it took him about fifteen days of time to go through the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation.
During the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation, he went through so much pain that he wished for death. In the end, he kept persisting. This transformation not only increased his physical strength by many times, but it also increased his affinity with Chaos Energy and introduced Chaos Energy to every bit of his body.
Ye Xiao could now not only sense the Chaos Energy but also absorb them and control them to some extent.
Unfortunately, he was not a Chaos Dust Realm warrior, so he was unable to fully control Chaos Energy.
During this period of time, Su Ling kept guarding Ye Xiao. She encountered many Chaos Beasts, Tree Demons, and other kinds of dangers, but she managed to deal with them and kept Ye Xiao safe and sound. She knew Ye Xiao is the only one who could make the ruin of Red Moon Temple appear, so she could not let any harm happen to Ye Xiao.
It was fortunate that the wooden monster did not attack, otherwise, Su Ling would not have been able to keep Ye Xiao safe even with her strength. After all, no matter how powerful she is, she is still just a Second Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior. She has yet to step into the Chaos Dust Realm.
After Ye Xiao stood up, he felt full of energy and power. He felt like there was no need to be afraid of the wooden monster and that he could easily kill that monster with his strength.
But he knew this is just a feeling that came to him along with the increase in his strength. It was a kind of illusion that his strength brought to him. If he is to really face the Wooden Monster, the current him would die without a doubt. He is still not a match for that monster.
After opening his eyes, Ye Xiao Su Ling continued their journeys.
Three days went by very soon.
On this day, as Ye Xiao and Su Ling were walking, they were surrounded by many Tree Demons. Surprisingly, there were also dead corpses walking on their own two feet and were ready to attack Ye Xiao and Su Ling. These corpses were like zombies, but at the same time, they were not. Their eyes were filled with wisdom, they could think for themselves and take action depending on their own intelligence.
This caused Ye Xiao to frown.
"How the hell did these guys come back to life?" Ye Xiao muttered in a puzzled tone.
Su Ling shook her head and spoke: "No, they are not alive, they are dead. They seemed to be affected by something and had turned into an army of dead. Although they could still think and attack us, their mind is simply filled with chaos and destruction. The army of dead wants nothing more than kill and eat their prey."
Ye Xiao frowned. This was the first time he came across the army of the dead. If there was only the army of dead, then it would not have been much of a problem, but there were also many Tree Demons among them. This caused them to fall in danger.
"Their life is mine!"
A strong dead took the lead and charged toward Ye Xiao and Su Ling. In an instant, numerous silhouettes flickered and moved, all of them treating Ye Xiao and Su Ling as their prey.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
In the distance, Tree Demons also shot out vines and thorns at Ye Xiao and Su Ling. The sound of rushing wind was heard. The vines and thorns fell from the sky like a rain. Every single sword strike had the power to pierce through a human's body!
Ye Xiao's eyes flickered with a cold light. He raised his right hand and a spear suddenly appeared. This was the Void Shattering Spear, and after being reborn in Chaos, this was the first time Ye Xiao called out this weapon.
Just like the Infinity Edge Blade, the Void Shattering Spear was also a Soulbound Weapon. It was terrifyingly powerful.
Ye Xiao waved his Void Shattering Spear at an extremely fast speed, constantly blocking the dense thorns and cutting off the vines.
"Miss Su, let's go!" Ye Xiao said to Su Ling.
Su Ling nodded, and then the two of them quickly moved in a certain direction.
"Chase after them!"
Seeing that Ye Xiao and Su Ling had started fleeing, one of the dead shouted and then all of them started chasing after Ye Xiao and Su Ling.
