As Ye Xiao opened his eyes, he saw a world transformed. The colors were vibrant, each hue distinct and alive. He looked at his own hands, and they seemed to glow with an inner radiance. He flexed his fingers, marveling at the fluidity of his movements. It was as if he had become one with the very rhythm of existence.
Thoughts flowed through his mind like a river, each idea a sparkling droplet in the current of his consciousness. He could sense the linkage of all things, the delicate balance that held the entire Myriad Plane Dimensions in harmony. It was a revelation that left him breathless, a glimpse into the woven threads of energy that kept the entire Myriad Plane Dimensions connected was really a marvelous scene to behold.
Time became like fluid, passing smoothly but Ye Xiao has no idea about the flow of time.
Suddenly, the Divine Inscriptions beneath him lit up, glowing with brilliance like never before.
Ye Xiao suddenly felt a deep connection with Myriad Plane Dimensions. However, it was there for only a moment before the connection was lost and Ye Xiao came back to his senses.
“What happened just now?”
The feeling that flowed through Ye Xiao was amazing. He had never experienced anything like it before. It was incredibly soothing and made him feel really good.
In that soothing moment, everything around him seemed to change in a wonderful way. The colors looked brighter and more beautiful. Even the way he moved his body felt easy and graceful. It was like a dream.
He could not accurately define how he felt just now, but everything ended so soon. Looks like just one drop of Essence of King could only bring that much of its brilliance out.
However…
“Wait a minute!”
Ye Xiao was shocked to discover a huge change in his body. This change was more like a transformation that cultivators go through after years of cultivation.
“My body has become much stronger. Even the Heavenly Demon Bloodline and the Bloodline of Calamity have been further refined. Most importantly, my cultivation has improved too much. Just one drop of Essence of King, and I actually skipped Great Saint Realm, becoming a peak Heavenly Saint Realm warrior. Just one more step and I can become a Chaos Overlord Saint.”
This was indeed unexpected. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
The Lotus of Chaos has already told him of the incredible effect that the Essence of King could bring. But even so, he never expected just one drop of that Golden Essence to do such a marvelous job. It was more like a heavenly elixir.
Ye Xiao hurriedly stood up and checked his body for any harm.
Lotus of Chaos had told him that the Essence of King would only bring benefit and no harm. Ye Xiao firmly believed in Lotus of Chaos’s words. But even so, he still felt a need to thoroughly check his body. Only by doing this, he was 100% sure that the drop of King’s Essence was not harmful at all. Instead, his foundation was at least two times stronger than before.
Ye Xiao then remembered that after swallowing a drop of King’s Essence, he felt time flowing like fluid. He had lost the sense of time. To him, it has only been a few moments, however, in reality, hundreds of years might have passed.
Knowing this, Ye Xiao hurriedly asked, “How long it has been?”
His question was obviously directed to the Lotus of Chaos. The Lotus of Chaos replied, “Not much, just one year!”
“A year has passed?”
Ye Xiao raised his brows in surprise but then he heaved a sigh of relief.
If only a few moments had passed, then he would have felt the need to thoroughly check his body in and out once again. After all, no matter how marvelous a treasure is, raising a cultivator’s cultivation to a very high degree in just a few moments will definitely leave many latent dangers inside one’s body.
At that time, although the foundation might look strong, it would have been hollow inside, and his future cultivation would have been affected.
However, a great change without leaving behind any latent danger takes time. Strengthening his physique and bloodlines, raising his cultivation, and leaving no unstable foundation took a year of time even for a supreme treasure like the Essence of King. This proves that nothing was wrong with this treasure and there were no hidden dangers inside his body.
Normally, raising his cultivation base from Major Saint Realm to Heavenly Saint Realm might have taken him dozens of years or even half a century. But the time was reduced to only one year. This made Ye Xiao ecstasy. A wide smile could be seen on his face.
Knowing the astonishing effect of Essence of the King, Ye Xiao once again sat down cross-legged, took out another drop of Essence of King, and swallowed it.
He was ready to enjoy the same experience once again.

╠ Land of Wood Flame ╣
Bai Chuan had never thought that he would be able to find some clues about the Holy Domain. Therefore, when he found out, he was naturally a little excited. He was in a hurry to find Xiao Qin and ask him for clarification.
These things were supposed to be a big secret. Originally, Xiao Qin could not tell anyone about it. However, he has no need for any treasure that was hidden by Death Valley Master. It is because his real identity was enough to make countless people go crazy to hand him that treasure willingly, just to form a relationship with him.
Moreover, since Bai Chuan already knew about the Holy Domain, there was no point in Xiao Qin to hide anything anymore.
Therefore, Xiao Qin simply admitted it and said: “Of course, I know where the Holy Domain is located. Also, according to what I know, Death Valley Master’s requirements are incomparably high. He won’t easily let others know where the Holy Domain is, so he set up a terrifying test in the Death Valley.”
“However, from the current point of view, all of these are just deductions. They haven’t been fully verified yet. Although I know Chuan looked at Xiao Qin and asked with a smile.
Xiao Qin’s frown deepened as he looked at Bai Chuan deeply. the location of Holy Domain, I don’t know if it is even real or not.”
“Senior Bai, how accurate do you think this matter is?”
“Accurate? You also think that this matter is just speculation?” Bai Chuan looked at Xiao Qin and asked with a smile.
Xiao Qin’s frown deepened as he looked at Bai Chuan deeply. Hearing this, he could not help but fall into deep thought.
Could it be that everything is true?
Bai Chuan continued: “I have also entered the Death Valley and found a lot of information. Therefore, I am certain about the Holy Domain. Although Holy Domain only existed in legends, there have always been several such legends out in Chaos, which proves that it isn’t baseless.”
“Before this, I happened to obtain information about a mysterious treasure. This treasure is something Death Valley Master hid in the Holy Domain. I want to obtain this treasure, and so here I am. Since you know the location of the Holy Domain, just tell me. Anyway, as far as I have noticed, you never showed any interest in any kind of treasure. You just want to visit all danger zones, that’s all. Since that’s the case, why not tell me the location? I will owe you a favor!”
Xiao Qin didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Bai Chuan deeply. Then he sighed and said, “There is no need to owe me a favor. This is not anything valuable to me anyway.”
With that, he took out a map and handed it over to Bai Chuan, saying, “Here, this is the map that could lead to the Holy Domain. I obtained this map after raiding the Death Valley Master’s Palace deep inside the Death Valley. You could keep it.”
Bai Chuan hurriedly took the map from Xiao Qin and looked at it. The more he looked at the map, the more excited he became. He knew this was the real thing.
Smiling, Bai Chuan first thanked Xiao Qin, and then said again, “Xiao Qin, with your potential, it is still possible for you to succeed in walking the path of Death Valley Master. Why didn’t you even consider entering the Holy Domain when you already have the map in hand?”
Shaking his head, Xiao Qin laughed, “I don’t need to walk a path that is already walked by someone else. If that is all I had to do, there was no need for me to leave my homeland and wander in chaos, searching for Danger Zones and Forbidden Zones in every Land I visited.”
“My path is different, it is something I have decided to create on my own. I will never walk a path that someone has already taken. You could take everything the Holy Domain has to offer. Don’t worry about me.”
Bai Chuan deeply looked into Xiao Qin’s eyes and then sighed, asking, “I guess Wood Flame Mountain is your last destination in the Land of Wood Flame. Which Land will be your next stop?”
“We’ll see!”
Xiao Qin smiled mysterious and no longer spoke.
