Chapter 496: The Overseer - 496
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?
