With a hearty laugh, Yun Yang gathered the two rascals in a heartfelt embrace - their presence was long overdue. Upon seeing him, they dashed into his open arms and squirmed against his chest without uttering another sound. They settled against his skin, contented, and ceased to move.
This was a very familiar territory to them – a sanctuary they had looked forward to seeing again after a long time. It felt as if they were reliving an old dream as they submerged themselves in a stream of happy memories.
Yun Yang gently caressed the two rascals in his arms. After settling down in a comfortable position, they emitted a rhythm of snores as their ears flapped from side to side in pleasure. Their little, furry tails also swayed from end to end, occasionally straightening like a flagpole, or curling into a little ball of wool; sometimes, they were merely oscillating back and forth with clockwork precision.
Slightly worried, Yun Yang examined them in greater detail. After he was reassured that the injuries on Whitey Two and Whitey Three had fully recovered without a single trace of concealed danger, he realized, in bewilderment, that not only had Whitey Two and Whitey Three's injuries completely healed, they had also advanced into the next level!
The most bewildering part was still the fact that it was not a mere advancement of one, two, three or even four levels…
Yun Yang, astonished by this sudden discovery, found himself gaping at the two Whiteys before him, unsure of their current level!
'Could it be - could it be that these two critters possess combat abilities that surpass my own?'
'Is that even possible?'
'That's impossible, is it not?'
No matter what, it would still be safe to say that at the very least, the cultivation base of these two Whiteys had already surpassed the three Whiteys at home, exceeding the eldest Whitey by a large degree. Needless to say, their ranks had also increased even further.
"Unless...these advancements were due to this space. How else could they have advanced so swiftly?" Yun Yang caressed his chin, lost in thought. "If that is really the case, I'd have to arrange for the three other Whiteys to come in here for a little boost. They're brothers after all – it's not good for them to have too much difference in their abilities."
"Chirp, chirp!"
A clear, crystalline chirp could be heard approaching.
...
Yun Yang furrowed his brows and allowed his gaze to follow the direction of the sound. He found a little bird hovering before him, its two round eyes filled with tenderness, focused on him with a little tilt of its tiny head. Of course, there was a slight hint of disdain for competition with the Whiteys, clearly reflected in its gaze.
"Chirp, chirp…"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp…" Jiji burst into a flurry of protest, making a disdained, haughty expression, its little bird brain lopsided.
It was trying to say, "I am a great, celestial beast – how can my level of advancement be as easy as these two dumb beasts over here?"
The two Whiteys became enraged upon hearing the insult, lashing out with a speed quicker than Yun Yang's reaction. In one swift moment, they had Jiji held against the ground beneath their massive bodies, about to ravage it into pieces.
Jiji was still young, despite being a celestial beast. Well... an examination was still pending to determine whether or not Jiji was truly one.
Jiji squawked in terror and struggled for its life, only escaping from beneath the bodies of the two Whiteys after being terrorized for quite a while. It flew towards Yun Yang and stopped in mid-air, displaying its bald, featherless wing.
It then brandished its wings. Having one wing to support itself in mid-air, the other pointed towards the two Whiteys, as it looked straight at Yun Yang sternly, squawking frantically in accusation and rage.
This little frantic, mid-air dance and furious chirping was clearly a complaint about the two badly-behaved Whiteys who had no regard for a celestial beast; this callous attitude was clear by the way they had ravaged it with such disrespect.
'This little fellow is rather skillful; it has learned how to tell on someone and make complaints!'
Yun Yang could not help but feel amused and entertained at the unfolding scene.
"Regarding these private dealings between you guys— I mean – you bird and felines..." said Yun Yang in all seriousness, "I won't be involved; sort it out yourselves."
Upon hearing that, Jiji's head drooped low in defeat, its plight a lost cause. On the other hand, the two Whiteys held their heads high with haughtiness and pride, arrogance coursing through their bodies, totally enjoying their victory and how they managed to get away with it.
"Ayaya!"
A furious noise resonated through the air, as loud as an alarm.
Emmie was aghast with rage. Tomorrow is the big reunion, yet, those three idiots were still fighting amongst themselves! Don't you all have a little decency and sense of shame? Are you aware that your actions are aggravating both your big boss and myself?
"Ayayayaya!"
Emmie emitted another huge, violent roar which carried a clear, concise message. Anyone who picked any further fights would be kicked out, and never allowed in here again, ever!
The threat worked wonderfully. Not a sound was uttered from the direction of the commotion as the three creatures stopped their fighting, transforming into awfully angelic, well-behaved creatures in the span of a short moment. When the situation demanded it, they could be just as cute you wanted them to be!
Deny them entry? No way!
God knows how many eons it would take to advance and level up to the next stage if they were to cultivate in a location beyond this miraculous place!
Only after witnessing the rowdy commotion before him did Yun Yang remember that his initial plan was to check out his current situation.
The power unleashed from activating the fourth level of Endless Divine Art made Yun Yang feel like he was unrivaled in strength - no one in the world would be able to stand in his way!
This was, clearly, just an illusion.
An illusion was an illusion, but the massive advancement from this promotion had made Yun Yang feel like a brand-new man.
This was the real thing. It was genuine, with no falsehood at play!
The first noticeable difference was the huge degree of increment in his cultivation base. He had ascended right to the third level of Dao realm and it was the pinnacle of the third level as well!
This already came across as a pleasant surprise. However, there was an even more intriguing event that excited Yun Yang – another two chakras within him were also awakened simultaneously!
Initially, Yun Yang had ten awakened chakras. It was already the first of its kind in Tianxuan Continent's history - a remarkable wonder that had never been witnessed before. Furthermore, during the intensive battle with the assassins, two more chakras had awakened at the final stages when he had pushed himself, resulting in a total number of twelve chakras in his body. This was totally beyond the knowledge of any experienced cultivator in the world.
Now, with two more, he possessed a total of... fourteen chakras!
It was even more intriguing than the most bizarre happenings in the world, and it was even more mind-boggling than the most mysterious events ever recorded in the realm, far beyond the cognition and comprehension of any learned man. How could this phenomenon even be described?
In the wake of these additional surprises, Yun Yang was a little lost for words.
'To the people from the Tianxuan Continent, having nine awakened chakras, is already an incredible feat – so what does that make me, a man who now possess a total of fourteen chakras?'
'What kind of statement is this? What kind of strange happening is this?'
'Furthermore, if the same situation persists, will the chakras inside my body be awakened further in the upcoming fifth and sixth level?'
'In that case, how many would be awakened?'
Initially, Yun Yang had imagined that ten chakras would be the maximum…
A person's body only had ten or so orifices, after all…
Two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, a mouth, a belly button... cough, and those two at the front and rear…
Yun Yang snorted with contempt upon thinking about the original concept of the nine chakras.
'Well, I was the one who developed this theory.'
On the day of the tenth chakra awakening, Yun Yang's little discovery was a self-proclaimed, ultimate secret of his own that he prided himself upon.
Now, however, Yun Yang realized that the so-called epiphany that he had discovered - that unique, one-of-a-kind secret - was just a bunch of nonsense!
Be it as it may, he should not even waste his time on such an unworthy topic. No matter how much more surprising and unfathomable his current condition could get, it was still something beneficial to him, was it not? After triple-checking the condition of his body, he found that the replenishing speed of his energy was at least ten times faster than previously while his mystical Qi had also surpassed the former level by at least a few folds.
As for a more detailed account of the level of advancement, it could only be witnessed through actual combat itself.
Among all the events that had taken place recently, such as the advancement of his cultivation base, the revival of his deific consciousness space and the return of Emmie, the most satisfying part of all was that his trusted companion, and also his most precious weapon, the Divine Edge, had returned into his possession once more.
In truth, he had almost forgotten that. The breakthrough of the cultivation base also meant that Saber Truth: Destiny Blade would establish new peaks along with improved techniques for a guaranteed kill whenever it was utilized.
The much-anticipated fourth form of the Destiny Blade was still the same saber truth of one form and two styles.
The first style, Wind Beyond The Sky; the second style, Mountain of Ivory Bones.
"The world is cold when there is wind beyond the sky, the Concourse of the Underworld is built from the saber blade; look back at your deeds as karma begs, bloodlust shall render a sky red!"
