”Sigh... Mian, what do you think about it?”

Mian, the Jade Turtle, bowed to Liriu before answering.

”Master, Mian believes that you should stay here. Master's cultivation is too low, and Mian won't be able to protect you. Unless Master takes control of another Dragon or Dragon Related race demon beast, Master will most likely die there.”

Liriu shook his head.

”I don't want to rob others from their free will. I don't know if it is possible, but I also plan to let you go at some point. So unless extremely necessary, I won't do such a thing. Dad, mom, and uncle Laex would definitely be sad if I did it.”

Even though Liriu said that much, there wasn't a single ripple of emotion on Mian's face. She really didn't care at all with what would happen to her. It was as if she had turned into a puppet, with no feelings what so ever. Liriu is already 12 years old this year, so he could more or less understand what was happening to her. Such a level of control over one's mind really frightened Liriu. This was one more reason why he didn't want to use his Dracophoenix power.

It was then that Liriu thought about another thing.

”Mian, you sparred with me several times to help me gain some combat experience. Although these could not be considered Life and Death situations, they helped me a lot to understand my Bloodline Powers. Can you tell me how strong you think I am at the moment?”

Mian immediately nodded.

”Master's talent is the highest that Mian has seen in her entire life. Even the legacy disciples of my sect wouldn't compare to you. You Fire Laws are advancing at a frightening pace, your body strength is several times my own when I was at your level. There are also your elements control and cultivation speed. If Master was paired with ordinary cultivators and demon beasts from outside the Holy Land, Mian believes that Master should be able to fight at the Soul Forging Realm 1st Stage. As for Divine Soul Realm, Mian finds it challenging to think about someone who can compare to you at the same level.”

Liriu nodded.

”What about the cultivators and demon beasts of the Holy Land?”

Mian shook her head this time.

”It is hard to say. The Holy Land has loads of Divine Major Souls, Heavenly Fragments, and even quite a few Heavenly Divine Soul owners. There are also those with unique constitutions and others who are geniuses even though they don't have any of it. Not to mention the rare demon beast races that entered this time. Dragons, Phoenix, Kirins, Golden Crows, you name it. You will probably find their descendants here too.”

Mian pondered a bit before continue.

”If I were to guess, I believe Master has the power to fight those between the 6th and 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Of course, I'm leaving the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners out. After all, an entire year has passed, so there is no way Master will encounter one of them in the Lower Levels anymore. In fact, even Heavenly Fragment Owners will be hard to find.”

Liriu nodded before asking.

”What if I fought a Heavenly Divine Soul owner with the same cultivation as me?”

Mian shook her head again.

”Master doesn't need to think about it. No Heavenly Divine Soul would be under the Void Breaking Realm at this point. So it is useless to think about an impossibility.”

”I know, but I'm still curious. What if there was one?”

”I can't say because I've never seen one of them fighting in my life.”

Liriu nodded and remembered Laex and Laka's battle back in the Wisp Main World. However, their power was too high, so he couldn't make heads and tails of what was happening there.

”I've decided. Fie is probably cultivating very fast now, so I can't stay behind. Once I reach the 5th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, I'm going up!”
