Ye Tian Yun listened to Wang Yao's words and began to point out plot holes in his story.
However, the more he thought, the more believable Wang Yao's words seemed.
After about twenty minutes of discussion, Ye Tian Yun asked another important question, "Since I have not died, what will happen?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "I don't know. This was never supposed to happen."
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh.
"So right now, you want me to help you defeat the System? How will you do that? You said that increasing cultivation is the answer. But I don't think it will work. System can bring out things from other realms. It even told me about the multiverse and stuff. Though it was hard to believe at first, it seemed like a valid answer."
Wang Yao shook his head and asked, "Ye Tian Yun, what is the highest cultivation realm you know of?"
Ye Tian Yun replied with a shrug, "Venerable Saint. It's the peak of existence. I think my father's in this realm?"
Wang Yao smiled, "I don't know why, but for some reason, uncle Ye never explained much about the real world to you, did he?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.
"You will know in the future, but for now, back to the question. The highest realm is the Heavenly Emperor."
"Hn? What?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Heavenly Emperor is not a cultivation realm. It's a position in the hierarchy among the cultivators."
Wang Yao shook his head, "It is a cultivation realm. Just that, we humans have never reached this realm. This is why even Saint Realm cultivators are crowned as the Heavenly Emperor after winning the battle at the Hundred Realm Refining Stage."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "How high is this realm?"
Wang Yao shook his head, "I don't know. I never reached this realm. I didn't even meet a genuine Heavenly Emperor ever in my life. Cultivators of this realm are myths and legends even in the Upper Heavens."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "So, you want to reach this realm?"
Wang Yao nodded, "I wanted to. But I had already lost my potential. So I changed my plan to take over myself and restart from the very bottom."
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "Was this the reason why you were hating the God's Legion? You wanted the Emblems and Tokens for yourself?"
Wang Yao nodded, "Yeah, your guess is pretty close to the answer. Well, actually, I wanted to form a team, but I never wanted to call it God's Legion. I hate this name as much as you do."
Ye Tian Yun smirked, "The irony."
Wang Yao let out a sigh, "Well, this was what I wanted to do, and now, it's all useless because you have killed me, congratulations my dear friend."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "My pleasure."
"Now, tell me the way to get out of here. I need to assess the situation outside. It's been four months, and I need to know if things are still salvageable or not."
Wang Yao shook his head, "You should focus on your cultivation here. Heed to this advice. You may not get this chance ever again."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then how long will I have to stay here?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "I don't know; cultivate as much as you can. At one point, you will reach a stage where no amount of Qi will increase your cultivation."
"That will be the point when you need to go out."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Qi is never enough… don't tell me you're telling me to go out after reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm!?"
Wang Yao laughed, "Heavenly Emperor Realm? Haha, if that realm only needed Qi, then do you think there would be a lack of Heavenly Emperors?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then which realm are you talking about?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "Fourth or fifth level of Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Hm? Just that?" Ye Tian Yun was stumped.
"Isn't that too low? I thought I would at least surpass the Foundation Establishment and reach the Core Formation Realm here."
Wang Yao shook his head, "We both know you need a very important pill to reach the Core Formation Realm. You won't get it here."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I know, but the density of Qi here is just too much. Maybe Core Formation is possible."
Wang Yao smiled, "If you reach the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment, that alone would be a miracle."
Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath and stood up.
"Let's start. I don't want to get out of here within the next six months."
"Hm?" Wang Yao frowned, "Next six months? Is something important about to happen? I don't recall anything…"
Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes at him, "It's none of your business."
Wang Yao smiled, "Ah, I remember now… hehehehe, interesting."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What?"
Wang Yao smirked, "You don't want to miss your first meeting with your future wife… hehehe…"
Ye Tian Yun gave him a stare, and looking around; he asked, "How do I get out of this consciousness."
Wang Yao shrugged, "Just focus on getting out. That should work."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, and in a blink, he disappeared from his seat.
Wang Yao was now alone in consciousness.
Seeing Ye Tian Yun disappear, he suddenly let out a laugh, "You're fast at running away, Ye Tian Yun - hahaha!"
…
In the white space.
Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes and found himself back in the familiar yet strange location.
As soon as he had come out, he heard Wang Yao's words.
Rolling his eyes, he cursed, "Fuck off!"
Wang Yao laughed even more and slowly turned silent, not bothering Ye Tian Yun anymore.
With him gone, Ye Tian Yun once again put his focus on increasing his cultivation.
'Fifth Realm of Foundation Establishment is it?'
'Let's see how far I can go..'
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun focused on absorbing the Qi from his surroundings and converting it into a liquified state in his Dantian.
And just like, in a blink, six months had passed.
