When Tong Nian heard Ye Xiao, she frowned her brows then she walked very closed to him and said suspiciously, "You are saying that while you were cultivating, some changes suddenly occurred and you felt your soul getting stronger. But you don't know the reason!"
"Hmm!" Ye Xiao did not reply to her. He only nodded her head and confirmed her.
She raised her hand and was about to touch in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows but Ye Xiao suddenly retreated a few steps back. He understood what Tong Nian was trying to do.
She wanted to look into his sea of consciousness. Ye Xiao was afraid that she would discover the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon floating in the middle of the endless ocean within his Divine Sea, so he hurriedly retreated a few steps.
Tong Nian was surprised at first then she realised that what she was going to do previously was inappropriate.
Without Ye Xiao's permission, she was about to look into his sea of consciousness. It has to know that one's sea of consciousness is the weakest and the most fatal part of a cultivator.
While looking in another person's sea of consciousness, if one wants to greatly harm or even kill another person, it will be too easy.
"Ah! Sorry, I was just surprised when I heard you and subconsciously wanted to look into your sea of consciousness. it is just misunderstanding!"
Tong Nian hurriedly apologised to Ye Xiao. She was slightly embarrassed when she realised her fault at this moment.
"It is ok! I was also surprised and subconsciously retreated. You can go ahead and check it!" Ye Xiao shook her head, smiled, and said.
"Can I?" When Ye Xiao gave Tong Nian his permission, she was surprised. Not everyone will give another person to look into one's sea of consciousness but Ye Xiao gave her his permission. It also showed Ye Xiao's trust in her.
She deeply looked at Ye Xiao and nodded her head.
Ye Xiao gave her his permission to look into his Divine Sea only because when he was thinking that maybe Tong Nian would have seen the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon if he would not have retreated back, he heard the voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon in his mind. It said that no one except for him can discover its presence no matter how powerful one would be.
Tong Nian extended her hand and touched in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows to look into Ye Xiao's sea of consciousness.
"Divine Sea!"
When she saw Ye Xiao's divine sea, she exclaimed out loud in surprise. Her exclaim was so loud even her grandfather was attracted to it. When he heard Tong Nian's exclaiming 'Divine Sea', he was surprised and immediately arrived in front of Ye Xiao's room where both Ye Xiao and Tong Nian were standing.
"What happened?" He looked at Ye Xiao and his granddaughter and asked.
"Grandfather, Ye Xiao… H-he awakened his Divine Sea!" Tong Nian replied to her grandfather with great difficulty.
She was so shocked that she could not even reply to her grandfather cleanly.
When her grandfather heard Tong Nian, he was surprised first then he also checked whether what Tong Nian said was true or not. When he saw the endless ocean which was filled with soul energy, he was also shocked.
"You have really awakened your Divine Sea!" He looked at Ye Xiao and said after a few breaths of time while taking a long breath.
"What is this divine sea?" Ye Xiao already knew about the Divine Sea but still, he asked the old man about it because he did not want to grow the suspicion of the old man and Tong Nian.
When Ye Xiao asked this question, Tong Nian started to tell him about the Divine Sea. He quietly listened to her nodded his head from time to time.
After she finished explaining, she looked at Ye Xiao as if she was looking at a monster.
Awakening a Divine Sea is as difficult as ascending to the Nine Heavens but now, a young man who has awakened his Divine Sea while cultivating was standing in front of her.
"Old Wang has really accepted a good disciple!" Old man Tong nodded his head, looked at Ye Xiao in satisfaction, and said.
"Ye Xiao, you have to cultivate some soul-type martial arts skill so that you can make good use of your divine sea! Although every people can practice soul type martial arts skill and cultivate soul type cultivation technique, they can not be as good in it as you who has already awakened the Divine Sea." Tong Nian looked at Ye Xiao and said.
"Ok! I'll look for soul-type martial arts skills and practice them!" Ye Xiao did not refuse Tong Nian and accepted her suggestion.
He accepted Tong Nian's suggestion on the surface, but in reality, he did not want to practice a soul-type skill because he wanted to evolve his soul even further.
Old man Tong took his leave at this moment and left Ye Xiao and Tong Nian together alone.
"We are about to arrive at the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire. What are you planning to do for the next few days?" Tong Nian asked.
"I will go out for a walk in the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire and then, cultivate!" Ye Xiao thought and said.
"Again? You again want to cultivate! Aren't you tired of cultivating?" Tong Nian almost got frustrated when she heard Ye Xiao was again planning to cultivate.
Ye Xiao simply smiled and did not say anything.
Tong Nian shook her head and walked away.
Not long after, the flying ship landed in a large field.
Ye Xiao walked and Tong Nian walked out from the Flying ship. Tong Nian's grandfather has no intention of coming out and he remained in the flying ship.
Seeing this, Tong Nian looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You go and see how the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire is. I will go and look for my grandfather first."
Ye Xiao nodded his head. Tong Nian left after saying this.
Ye Xiao saw looked in his surroundings and saw that there were actually three more flying ships standing at some distance. It means that the candidates from three countries must be already here.
Ye Xiao was excited as it was the first time when he has arrived at the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire.
He walked out of the field. Before he had heard that flying in the Imperial city was not allowed. Anyone who entered the Imperial City would have to travel on foot and must not fly. This was a great disrespect and one would have to be beheaded.
Since it was his first time here, Ye Xiao didn't want to cause any trouble so he obediently walked out of the field.
Stepping into the Imperial City, Ye Xiao could more and more feel that the spirit energy in the air here was incomparably rich. In addition to the spiritual energy that gathered from all over the world, it was all gathering towards the center of the Imperial City.
There would definitely be experts at the Martial Ancestor Realm or above overseeing the imperial city.
Ye Xiao secretly thought in his heart.
This imperial city that was here for thousands of years had at least a crowd of millions of people gathered here.
Ye Xiao was walking and looking around him with interest in his eyes. Suddenly his gaze fell down on a tall ancient building.
"Treasure Pavilion!"
Ye saw a signboard that was incomparably huge and hung on the outside of the building, exuding a majestic aura. Ye Xiao could not be more familiar with this name.
Ye Xiao directly entered the Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately, no one came to take care of him.
The service personnel of the Treasure Pavilion here all greeted the cultivators who seemed rich and overbearing. They only glanced at him coldly, and when they saw that it was a young lad, they retracted their gaze.
"Known as the number one trading place, it is just so so!" Ye Xiao muttered as he didn't like the behaviour of the attendants here.
"This little brother, he doesn't seem to be big, but his tone is actually quite arrogant." Although Ye Xiao's voice was soft, someone still heard it.
A cold and gorgeous middle-aged woman wearing a tight dress walked over, her body wrapped in an exquisite and exquisite cloth. However, the contempt in her eyes made her look completely different from her dignified and elegant self.
"Regardless of what kind of shop it is, to serve customers is the most basic knowledge. Is the Treasure Pavilion's basis for entertaining its guests is to glare with cold eye?" Ye Xiao glanced at the arrogant woman and said.
Before this, he never cared about all of these things but right now, for some reason, Ye Xiao felt bad.
