The moment he thought of the way to use his bloodline ability, Zhou Ye felt weird.
Even he found it hard to accept.
He needed to distract himself.
He shouldn’t think about this anymore.
Zhou Ye calmed down and started experiencing how amazing the Xuan Sea Realm was.
Although there was only a difference of one realm between the Qi Refinement realm and the Xuan Sea Realm, the actual difference in power was extreme.
At the Qi Refinement realm, the Xuan Qi in the cultivator’s dantian was like a surging, turbulent river.
As for a cultivator at the Xuan Sea Realm, the Xuan Qi in his dantian was like the roaring waves in the sea. A normal cultivator at Qi Refinement would feel like he was a skiff in a huge sea when facing against a Xuan Sea Realm cultivator. If he didn’t pay attention, his skiff would be overturned.
There was another important point. The capacity of Xuan Qi at the Xuan Sea Realm, the purity of the Xuan Qi at this realm was at a whole new level compared to the Qi Refinement realm.
This was really a difference between a river and the sea. They weren’t on the same level.
The Xuan Sea realm was very strong, but in Zhou Ye’s eyes, it still wasn’t enough.
His goal was manifestation.
The realm requirement for manifestation was the Xuan Core realm.
Xuan Core realm, the natural moat preventing millions of cultivators from achieving their goals. They were able to feel its presence clearly but they couldn’t jump over it.
This was what was written in the Little Green Asthenia Sutra.
There were four different realms at the early stages of cultivation. They were Tempered Body, Qi Refinement, Xuan Sea, and Xuan Core.
The first realm, Tempered Body, was extremely easy compared to the next three realms. You just needed to train your physique continuously so that it would be able to withstand the Qi of heaven and earth.
The second realm, Qi Refinement, like what its name suggested, was the realm where you absorbed the Qi of heaven and earth and refined it into your own energy. Your dantian would form in this realm to allow you to store Xuan Qi.
As long as you reached Qi Refinement, a normal human cultivator would be able to live for 120 years. The lifespan of a demon would be extended even more. A spirit like Zhou Ye was able to increase his life by a few hundred years.
The third realm was the Xuan Sea realm. The Xuan Qi in your dantian turned into a sea where the waves surged continuously. Once a normal human cultivator reached this realm, he would be able to live for a few hundred years.
The fourth realm was the Xuan Core realm.
Based on the records in the Little Green Asthenia Sutra, millions of cultivators were stuck in this realm. They were able to see it and touch it but they could never achieve their breakthrough.
Some cultivators weren’t able to reach the Xuan Core realm in their entire life, no matter how hard they tried.
Zhou Ye’s current goal was the Xuan Core realm.
Although the data recorded in the Little Green Asthenia Sutra was scary, Zhou Ye wasn’t nervous.
After all, he had an amazing cheat. If he wasn’t able to break through to the Xuan Core realm, he might as well go die.
…
“Grunt!”
The white deer grunted.
It slowly walked towards Zhou Ye.
It lowered its head and observed Zhou Ye for some time. Then, it nodded in satisfaction.
This little plant gave it too many surprises.
It was as if the plant had no bottlenecks at all. Every time it achieved a breakthrough, it felt natural and smooth. There was no resistance.
The white deer was elated, but it also wondered how Zhou Ye did it.
Zhou Ye looked at the white deer and a thought appeared in his head.
He waved his body and a light green glow appeared from the tip of his leaf. The light green glow formed the outline of the white deer in the air. Another ray of green light appeared in the form of the shape of an ax.
“Chop.”
The ax dropped on the figure of the white deer and the white deer figure dispersed.
The white deer was stunned for a moment. Then, it realized what was happening.
It wanted to laugh.
This little plant spirit dared to tease me after it reached the insignificant Xuan Sea Realm.
This is outrageous. I must educate this plant.
“Boom!”
The white deer raised its hoof and stepped on Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye sunk deep into the spirit field. He rolled his eyes.
He felt the strong Qi of heaven and earth in the soil around him. He was speechless.
He just made a small joke. He didn’t expect Mr. White Deer to get offended.
Luckily, the white deer had a good grasp of its strength.
Even though it used some force, it didn’t hurt Zhou Ye.
After stepping on Zhou Ye once, the white antlers on its head started to give off a colorful holy light.
The colorful holy light formed the outline of Zhou Ye’s body.
Zhou Ye stared at it with wide eyes.
Was it trying to compare its drawing ability with him?
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, he saw the white deer giving off another ray of colorful holy light. This ray of light formed the shape of a pair of scissors.
The scissors moved and cut the image of the plant into two right at the waist.
One cut wasn’t enough. The pair of scissors continued cutting furiously. Within a short time, the plant formed from the colorful lights was cut into colorful dots.
This was a threat.
Zhou Ye felt cold sweat on his back.
He felt that the white deer was reminding him not to become too arrogant and that the consequence of becoming arrogant was getting cut into pieces.
The white deer gave a smile.
It looked at Zhou Ye’s trembling leaves. It found it funny.
To frighten Zhou Ye, the white deer released its holy light again and again to form the outline of Zhou Ye’s figure.
Again and again. The white deer didn’t find it tiring.
At the start, Zhou Ye was frightened. Then, he became numb. In the end, he had no emotions anymore. He even started looking at the white deer as though it was an idiot.
In the past, Zhou Ye was always a little afraid of the white deer.
After all, this white deer was a herbivore and he was a plant. He was lying if he said that he wasn’t afraid.
But, now, Zhou Ye really wasn’t afraid of the white deer.
Their friendship was extremely ‘strong’.
The white deer had enough fun.
It thought for a moment and ran towards the spirit herb area.
Zhou Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw its movement. He quickly pulled out his roots and followed the white deer.
It just needed a few more spirit herbs and it would be able to reach the manifestation state.
His thoughts were beautiful but reality was painful.
Before they reached the spirit herb area, the white deer turned its head and kicked Zhou Ye’s body with its hoof.
Zhou Ye landed on the ground forcefully. He was stunned.
He wanted to ask the white deer why it kicked him.
The white deer shook its head at Zhou Ye.
The colorful holy light on its antlers appeared again.
The holy light framed Zhou Ye’s body and then formed the outline of a spirit herb Zhou Ye didn’t recognize.
Zhou Ye looked at the white deer’s movement. He didn’t understand what it was trying to express.
As he looked at the image, Zhou Ye started to understand.
The plant formed by the colorful holy lights started expanding after absorbing the spirit herb. Then, it exploded with a boom.
The white deer was telling Zhou Ye that if he continued absorbing energy from spirit herbs, he would explode and disappear.
Zhou Ye thought for a moment and waved his body.
He was telling the white deer that this was impossible.
He knew where his limit was.
With the presence of his cheat, death through an explosion would never happen to him.
Thus, he was confident that even if he absorbed all the spirit herbs in the spirit herb area, he would be fine.
The white deer raised its hooves and kicked Zhou Ye again.
Zhou Ye flew back towards the spirit field when he got kicked.
As for the white deer, it walked towards the spirit herb area.
“Slap.”
Zhou Ye landed in the spirit field.
He stood up and saw the white deer who was eating the spirit herbs.
“Crack.”
If you listen carefully, you could hear the sound of the ties friendship cracking.
Zhou Ye felt frustrated.
He knew that the white deer did it for his well-being but he still felt frustrated.
An opportunity to reach the manifestation state laid in front of him but he was going to miss it because he was unable to open his mouth and speak.
Zhou Ye started activating all the intelligence he had.
There was still a month before the man with a big face would come back.
Within this month, he should have another chance to get some more spirit herbs.
Zhou Ye got excited when he thought of this.
As long as he was able to get spirit herbs, he would be able to shorten the time he needed to change his form greatly.
“Hehehe.”
Zhou Ye started laughing when he thought of the days in the future after he manifested.
The white deer finished eating two spirit herbs and was moving towards an empty field.
Suddenly, the white deer saw Zhou Ye dancing crazily in the spirit field. It was stunned instantly.
Did that little plant turn crazy because it didn’t allow him to use spirit herbs?
No way! My source of happiness can’t just be destroyed like this.
