After a while, the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect stopped laughing. "If you fancy my daughter, we can arrange a marriage. I'd be willing to accept it. There's no need to go this far."
Zhu Yi shook his head. "I'd rather not. Do you agree to my terms or not?"
As far as Zhu Yi was concerned, Bai Wei'er at her current cultivation was probably useless for his master's recovery and him. Only if she could become stronger while still being under his control would Zhu Yi find this deal worth it.
The Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect thought for a moment before speaking. "That sounds good to me. Do we have a deal?"
Zhu Yi nodded in agreement and they shook hands.
Although the Sect Master of the Sword Sect wanted to stop Zhu Yi, he eventually decided to let it happen. Zhu Yi seemed firm in this matter.
Bai Wei'er and Bai Xun were shocked that Bai Wei had agreed. Bai Xun was especially worried since he had always wanted to marry Bai Wei'er. After all, they were not blood related.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect soon sent the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect off.
"While I can't agree with your decision, I believe in you. You must win."
Zhu Yi agreed. "I always planned on it."
After a bit more conversation, Zhu Yi started cultivating again. He would still come out for the fights against Chaos Beasts despite the fact that Zhou Fan probably wouldn't break through a recovery threshold for a while.
He set up the time bubble and began to cultivate with Zhou Fan's assistance and top grade spirit stones.
After around ten thousand years inside of the time bubble, Zhu Yi reached the 10th level of the Soul Formation realm.
Zhu Yi left with the Sect Master to participate in another Chaos Beast battle.
He once again fought a Soul Formation realm Chaos Beast. It was easier this time, only taking an entire day to win the battle. He didn't feel much of a threat of death the entire time.
It was by no means casual, but Zhu Yi felt good about it.
When the Sect Master returned, Zhu Yi began cultivating immediately. This time, he would not leave until he broke through.
Zhu Yi did not participate in the next fight against Chaos Beasts. A hundred years after that fight against Chaos Beasts, clouds began to form above the Sword Sect.
The Sec Master smiled and opened a large hole in his residence. The fake sky was torn apart and the clouds revealed themselves to Zhu Yi.
A lightning strike came down, but it was casually dispersed. It had been 11,000 years for Zhu Yi. Only now was he breaking through.
Another lightning bolt came down. It too was dispersed with ease.
A final, much stronger lightning bolt came down again. These things were challenging for some, but not for Zhu Yi.
All three were easily taken care of, and Zhu Yi reached the Void Traversing realm. Zhu Yi had not even used up half of his lifespan this time.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect reformed the fake sky and came down to greet Zhu Yi.
"Congratulations on your advancement." He said.
"Thank you." Zhu Yi responded.
"You can now theoretically participate in the tournament, but it is in 2 million years. You have plenty of time to increase your realm before that. Now, with the restrictions on talent released, your cultivation level should soar for a while due to your talent. I only request that you stay in the void traversing realm for this tournament."
Although the Sect Master was excited, Zhu Yi was worried. He really didn't have an excuse for his cultivation being slow at this point.
He looked at Zhou Fan. Zhou Fan was thinking.
Eventually, Zhou Fan spoke. Zhu Yi listened carefully and spoke to the Sect Master.
"Teacher. There is actually something I should tell you." Zhu Yi said.
The Sect Master nodded. "Go ahead."
"I have a Divine Physique called the God body. It slows my cultivation speed until I reach the God Realm, where my power will be immeasurable."
The Sect Master was shocked.
Naturally this is a lie. Zhou Fan only needed to think for a while to make it up. There were many unexplainable things in the universe, adding one more wouldn't mean much.
"If that's the case, I need to take you to the overseer immediately. This is something that could help all of humanity."
Without being able to react, Zhu Yi was grabbed by the shoulder and flown up.
Zhou Fan had overlooked the situation that humanity was in. If someone with a Divine Physique were to exist such as Zhu Yi, they needed to be nurtured immediately.
Zhu Yi could only make sense of the surroundings when he arrived in space. Now, he could move in space freely. The Sect Master had stopped moving. They had arrived in front of a giant palace. It was not like the White Palace, but seemed to be made of ice.
Unlike normal ice, it was not see through at all.
The Sect Master seemed more reserved than ever as he knocked on the door.
After a moment, they heard a voice. "Come in."
Zhu Yi walked in, and Zhou Fan sat on his shoulder. As they walked forward, Zhu Yi saw a classic palace room. Inside was a man wearing blue robes. He sat on an ice robe and looked into the distance. He was not looking at Zhu Yi or the Sect Master at all.
"Why have you come here?" He asked.
The Sect Master spoke. "Not too long ago, a boy from a lower world became my student. Today, he revealed that he has a Divine Physique called the god body. It supposedly slows his cultivation speed until the god realm. Upon reaching the god realm, his power will be greatly increased."
The overseer seemed interested now. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Yi. As he did so, he furrowed his brows.
Why was a small person sitting on his shoulder, and why had he not been able to detect him?
Seeing the overseer furrow his brows at Zhu Yi, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect became worried. However, he did not dare to say anything.
After a moment, the overseer spoke. "Who is that on your shoulder?"
The Sect Master was confused. Zhu Yi looked at Zhou Fan.
"You can see my master!" Zhu Yi exclaimed.
The overseer moved a bit closer as he looked at Zhou Fan.
"Why is he so familiar looking? What is his name?" The overseer asked.
"He is my master. His name is Zhou Fan."
The overseer's eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
He moved so fast it seemed like he teleported in front of Zhu Yi.
When he finally got close to Zhou Fan, he recognized him.
The overseer knelt on the ground. "Sir Origin God! You live!"
The overseer was extremely excited. The shock his words brought to Zhu Yi and the Sect Master was unprecedented.
As a god realm cultivator, it was expected that he had heard of the Origin God at least a few times.
"It is me. I am alive." Zhou Fan said. It felt weird to finally be acknowledged by someone besides Zhu Yi.
"This is my disciple, Zhu Yi. He will participate in the Void Traversing realm tournament of the Sword Sect. When he wins, we will arrive at the World Tree. Everything will be settled then." Zhou Fan said.
The overseer nodded profusely. "As you wish sir. Should I keep your existence a secret, or can I inform the World Tree?"
"You can tell Ying Xiong to come to the tournament. Tell him to bring Heaven as well. It's been a while."
The overseer nodded without hesitation. "Please, Sir Origin God, save humanity from the Chaos Beasts!" He asked while still kneeling.
"It will naturally be done." Zhou Fan said.
The overseer understood Zhou Fan's intentions. He wanted to help Zhu Yi win this tournament as Master and Disciple before he would focus on healing with help from all of the life in the universe. Only then could the threat of Chaos Beasts be solved.
Although he could have returned immediately, he wanted to do one last thing with his third disciple before parting ways.
When the overseer once again stood up, he sent Zhu Yi off with countless cultivation resources. He even gave him some god stones, the higher level of spirit stones only found on the great world.
The Sect Master looked at Zhu Yi weirdly as they returned to the Sword Sect. He still wasn't completely sure as to what was going on.
He only knew that nothing bad could ever happen to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi began to cultivate under the time bubble. Although he supposedly only had 2 million years to prepare, within the time bubble he theoretically had 60 million years to prepare. Now at the Void traversing realm, the time bubble sped up time by 30 times.
Of course, he actually only had 10 million years regardless due to the lack of lifespan. He hoped that his talent was still enough to break through this realm.
With Zhou Fan's help, the time bubble, and the new god stones, Zhu Yi was ready to cultivate as fast as he possibly could.
It took him a thousand years to reach the 2nd level of the Void Traversing realm. Now, Zhou Fan's help was even more effective, and the god stones help could not be ignored.
It took three thousand years to reach the 3rd level.
10,000 years to reach the 4th level.
40,000 years to reach the 5th level.
120,000 years to reach the 6th level.
400,000 years to reach the 7th level.
1.3 million years to reach the 8th level.
3 million years to reach the 9th level.
For lifespan reasons, he had to stop there. It would take at least 5 million years to reach the 10th level. Luckily, there wasn't too much of a difference between the 9th and 10th level.
Without Zhou Fan, he would never reach the space shattering realm. This was while cultivating with speed equal to a person with supreme god rank meridians. Of course, such a person could also use things like spirit stones to speed up cultivation.
Outside the time bubble, only a little bit more than 150,000 years had passed. The time bubble was truly a miracle technique.
For the next 1.85 million years, Zhu Yi would hone his sword techniques. He would make sure to practice the formless sword. It was nearly impossible to even improve on Breaking Through All Things for now.
The Sect Masters guidance, in addition to Zhou Fan's, would help Zhu Yi's formless sword improve greatly. Before that, he requested a stronger sword. The current one was no longer strong enough at all.
He quickly received an identical sword that was many times stronger than the last one.
Now, Zhu Yi practiced the sword.
1.8 million years somehow seemed to pass in a flash.
Zhu Yi had participated in many fights against Chaos Beasts. Zhou Fan had even recovered once.
Zhu Yi now had supreme god rank meridians. Unfortunately, it was too late to reach the tenth level of the Void Travering realm.
Zhou Fan had wished to give him a Divine Physique or something, but this recovery wasn't enough. He would help Zhu Yi more once he was greatly recovered.
Zhu Yi had changed a lot in these years. A million years of experiencing life would change anyone.
He was no longer a child in heart or soul. He was a mature man. Zhu Yi grabbed his sword and entered a room. Inside were the two people who would be coming to the competition with him. The overseer, and the Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
Those of the Celestial Ice Sect would also end up watching. Of course, now, the deal could be considered invalid. Bai Wei'er would be taken for her Divine Physique's ability to help heal Zhou Fan regardless, and Zhu Yi, the disciple of the Origin God, would never be a servant.
Still, Zhu Yi wanted to win fair and square. He was the disciple of the Origin God, and he would never lose.
