A noisy commotion woke Wutian up the next day.

He got out of bed and put on his clothes, then looked through the window. He saw Shishi, dressed in white with double ponytails, having fun on the back of the Blackiron Alligator. Beside her were many other hideous aqua beasts of enormous size.

Like a princess, she was attracting attention. Men and women of all ages thronged the lakeside, stopping their cultivation practice to watch her curiously.

“Who is that little girl? She could tame those vicious monster beasts!” Everyone was baffled, finding it incredible.

“Do you see the little white beast beside her? It is the legendary Flying Fox, so she should be a light being.” Someone recognized that at first glance and told the truth.

“It is said that light beings possess terrific healing ability, but so-so in attack abilities. But by the looks of things, she is more terrifying than other beings and able to summon a bunch of vicious beasts. Who could have stood that?” Seeing this scene, everyone was deeply affected.

“It is said that the little girl has an elder brother. When the young sister is this vicious, what would her elder brother look like?” Those people’s attention shifted to the Ninth Heaven House in curiosity.

Wutian pulled back his vision and went to clean himself up. After that, he went up to the first floor and sat down with his legs crossed. He took out ten Essence elixirs. This time, he wanted to consume ten Essence elixirs at once to see if he could break through to the next level.

He popped those Essence elixirs into his mouth in one go, and they instantly turned into pure and concentrated Essence energy. His Sea of Qi was gushing with energy like a billowing sea.

A group of Essence energy formed inside, concentrating and nurturing a creature. It squirmed non-stop and was about to burst out of his body. Wutian sat calmly on the floor and was shrouded in a glow, looking divine and elusive.

As time ticked by, a drop of water trickle down into his Sea of Qi, producing a crisp sound. Wutian shuddered. He quickly took out another ten Essence elixirs and shoved them all into his mouth.

Boom!

His Sea of Qi went violent as an enormous amount of Essence energy rushed in. The place was surging with mist, with nothing visible inside, as if the initial opening of the void.

Tic-tac, tic-tac…

Crystal-like droplets appeared in the cloud of Essence energy and dripped down, creating rings of ripple that glowed in incredible beauty.

This was the product of Essence energy being concentrated to the highest level.

Wutian was excited, not expecting that his gamble paid off. Again, he took out another twenty Essence elixirs, and without hesitation, he consumed them at once. The concentrated Essence energy ran wild, his Sea of Qi incredibly painful, as if it was going to burst.

The liquid no longer trickled but formed into columns and flowed into the Sea of Qi.

Half an hour later, the Essence energy in Wutian’s Sea of Qi had subsided, leaving behind a mirror-like, smooth lake without a single ripple.

During the Reborn Beta stage, energy was converted into elixirs to refine the flaw and make the body into perfection. Once achieving this stage, the Sea of Qi would no longer be misty but become a pond that held the Essence elixirs. This was a qualitative upgrade where one’s physical ability would increase several folds.

Black substance with a pungent smell covered his body. This was the impurity of the body. Once the elixirs formed, it would automatically and continuously refine the body and keep the body clog-free.

He could imagine he had used up forty Essence elixirs to achieve the breakthrough. At first, he thought he would only need ten-twenty at the most. After all, these thousand-year elixirs were highly concentrated. Yet, he had still underestimated the required dosage. If breaking through into the Reborn Beta stage already required such an amount of Essence elixirs, then how many Essence elixirs would he need to attain the Reborn Gamma stage? So Wutian started to eye Little Tian’s Essence elixirs.

He fished out the ring he got out from the cave and carefully examined it. An item from a thousand years ago must be something out of this world. There must be some secret hidden inside. He looked at the ring until his eyes were strained, yet he still could not figure out anything.

Wutian shook his head in disappointment and took out the black emblem. Little Tian had absorbed all the chilly energy inside, so the emblem was no longer dangerous.

This emblem had changed his life. If not for it, his grandpa and those villagers would not have died, and he would not have to go to great lengths to come to the Yan Clan. Had Longhe had asked for the emblem, Wutian would have given it to him, and the tragedy would not have happened.

This emblem was mysterious. Wutian had found no clue about it from the parchment. After the prior experience, he would not dare to ask anything about it openly. Now, this was the mystery that he was desperate to resolve.

When he got to his feet, he instantly felt his body several times lighter than before, as if he could walk on air without touching the floor, and his movement faster.

He returned to the ground floor and cleaned his body of the dirt. When he pushed open the door and went out, all eyes were suddenly on him. When those people saw Little Tian on his shoulder, there were strange expressions on their faces.

“What is going on here? The sister has a Flying Fox as a pet, while the brother has a demon toad? Is there something wrong with my vision?” People were astonished, feeling it incredible.

“Caw!” Little Tian was agitated, but Wutian held it down. This was a venue where geniuses gathered. He had to avoid trouble whenever possible. Besides, after last night’s investigation, he found that something was mysterious about this place. He had better keep his head low.

He let Yi look after Shishi while he brought Little Tian heading to the outer court. There, he found Zhang Kuang and asked him if there was any library in this place. At last, he was still left disappointed. There was a library with records of various vicious beasts and plants, but there was no information about the emblem.
