487 Fies Strange Phenomenons and Lirius Path (2/2)

”Ah!”

Fie's eyes immediately brightened. What Little Arty said made a lot of sense.

”Great! Then I will do as you said. But if you notice that dad will change Floors, you must tell me!”

”Yea, yea... if that happens, I'll tell you.”

Little Arty then disappeared once more.

In the past few days, Little Arty seldom showed himself unless Fie asked. Fie inquired about what he was doing, but he kept saying that he was just taking care of the Holy Land. Fie didn't really have a reason to doubt him, so she didn't complain.

Another little one who was doing quite well for himself was none other than Liriu! He really went to the Third Light Pillar and succeeded in passing it. Of course, Liriu's willpower wasn't anything that impressive. He was only 12 when he passed the test, and he did fail several times. What kind of willpower would you expect from a kid?

However, there was one thing that Liriu couldn't avoid. That was the power of his bloodline leaking out. Any reptile or dragon related race around him in the Third Pillar safe zone felt his presence. However, there was no one at that point anymore that knew about the Dracophoenix. Some of those demon beasts came to talk to him to see what was happening, but Liriu simply faked ignorance... or so he tried. Well, he wasn't very good at it.

Fortunately, no one could attack inside the safe zone. Also, Mian was still with him, so she helped Liriu deal with those demon beasts. In the end, they could only give up and ignore that uncomfortable sensation.

Not too surprisingly, Mian did not come to the same Dimensional Realm as Liriu. With those random floors, it would be too much of a coincidence if she did. However, Liriu's extended time on the lower levels was of great use. The number of high-level cultivators decreased a lot. One already couldn't find Void Breaking Realm below the 5th Floor anymore. Unless, of course, they stayed behind on purpose.

That being said, Liriu and his unsealed bloodline made him several times stronger than those at the same level. At least, compared with those who were also struggling on the same Floor as him.

He was now in the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. But thanks to his Bloodline and Elemental Meridians, Liriu could even fight against a 3rd Stage Soul Forging Realm. If he just wanted to flee, not even a 5th stage could stop him. In fact, Liriu already encountered some cultivators and demon beasts like that. The majority would simply ignore him due to his cultivation. Others would attack to see if he had something good. So Liriu was able to get a good amount of combat experience. Another good thing is that these times alone honed his mind, so his naivety couldn't be found anymore.

Finally, there was his Fire Laws, which were improving even faster than Fie's Lightning Ones. Is was mainly due to his Dracophoenix Bloodline. Several races had a better affinity with certain elements. Tasier, for example, has an affinity with Lightning Laws. As for Liriu, it was the Fire Laws from his phoenix side.

The Explosion Sub-Law had surprisingly reached culmination! Not only that, but he was also able to grasp another two, Annihilation and Fire Essence. Annihilation was at the Intermediate Stage, while Fire Essence was in the Initial.

Last but not least, Liriu also created his own Domain based on his Fire Laws. Although it was a common one, the fact that he could create it on his own is already impressive. One must not forget that he is just 13 years old and doesn't have a wisp's mind.

At the moment, Liriu was cultivating once again. In fact, he even thought about moving to the 5th Floor straight away since he didn't feel any problem with the 4th Floor Godly Energy. But Mian had warned him against it. She told Liriu that his cultivation was too low. The higher he goes, the stronger the opponents. He shouldn't enter that place before the Soul Forging Realm.

Mian could not lie to Liriu due to the control of the Dracophoenix bloodline. In fact, she couldn't even have thoughts about it. Thanks to that, Liriu was able to keep himself safer to a certain degree. That being said, Liriu followed Mian's warning and decided not to enter the 5th Floor before the Soul Forging Realm.

Back on Krune's side, a month quickly went by, and he had finally decided to enter the 10th Floor.
