Spring comes and go, bringing in a new year with the passage of time.
During this period Bai Yan had not once stepped out of the bronze gateâs world, spending all her time in steady training by following the knowledge of the ancient book. Bai Xiachen wanted to stick around of course, but the boyâs been sent back to the palace since she needed quietness and calm. Besides, itâs not good for her son to spend so much time in this small place when heâs so young.
As for the four sacred beasts, they did their duties beautifully, quietly standing guard outside and never complaining despite keeping the same posture like their statue counterparts.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise rocked the mountain through the bronze gate, followed by a monumental surge of power shaking the air and effecting all living things in the vicinity.
Meanwhile at the same time......
Di Xiao Wan had been snuggling with her niece and nephew when this loud commotion caught their attention. Stopping in her act of reading them a bedtime story, she made a surprised face: âSister-in-lawâs reached the higher level of the Demi Divine Lord already?â
She only broke through to the middle level seven months ago, how did Sister-in-law make another breakthrough this quickly? Is it really that easy to make advances once youâre that strong? Something is weird about all this....
Unknown to Di Xiao Wan, the reason for the rapid progress was due to the ancient book Bai Yan found inside the bronze gate. Her first step into the Demi Divine Lord level was due to her own grasping and efforts, while these new advances are through following the instructions and knowledges provided by others.
Whatâs more, the demon queen didnât only have knowledge anymore, she also has the added support of the great amulet All Heavens â sheâs tapped into its mysterious powers right now.
Itâs just that......
When Bai Yan sent her own consciousness into the world of All Heaven, all she found was nothing but white fog in which she stood. Thankfully this foggy substance wasnât just for show inside that dimension, its pure energy used by cultivators. Rather than to absorb the spiritual particles from the air, the demon queen only needed to tap into the amulet from now on, thus giving her a infinite source of energy.
So, knowledge and resources at hand, who wouldnât be able to make rapid breakthroughs?
âAuntie, what is a high Demi Divine Lord?â Di Ling Yan the peachy baby girl asks with a smile on her face, âIs it something very powerful?â
âOf course itâs great...â Di Xiao Wan gently caresses her nieceâs hair as she explained, âFrom now on your mother will be as strong as your father...â
Brightness shined in the baby girlâs eye: âThen does that mean I can be as strong as Father and Mother as well in the future?â
Chuckling at her nieceâs ambition: âYes, our adorable and sweet Ling Yan will definitely grow up to be as beautiful and strong as your mother. But you mustnât be like your father, only follow your mother so you can protect your good auntie here too, okay?â
Poof!
Her words had just come out of her mouth when Jin Tian the little glutton suddenly reverted back to his fox form at the other side of the bedside. Heâs looking all sad and pitiful as he laid sprawled on the ground.
âAuntie, Iâm hungry...â Jin Tian weakly cries, that belly grumbling in protest.
Does it mean I wonât have to go hungry anymore after Mother comes back?
Father is always busy, and Auntie often forgets to feed me....
