"What else do you know about the founder of the Demon Sealing n?" Yuan asked him, his interest piqued. Perhaps he might learn something new about his physique.
"Not much, honestly. He was a powerful man— one of the most powerful entities during his time, and he founded the Demon Sealing n to y demons."
"Nobody knows his background or his motives for founding the n, but all of the humans and even magical beasts admired him like a god. As for the demons, well, they’d run just from the mention of his name."
"What was his name?" Yuan asked.
"Unfortunately, his name has been lost to the passage of time, so nobody really knows. However, we know his nickname— Bane of Demons, Divine Paragon!"
"Divine Paragon? What a cool nickname..." Yuan mumbled, thinking how nice it would be if he also had a nickname.

Sometimeter, Yuan proceeded to consume the other two monster cores.
[Heaven Refining Physique activated]
[??? Qi has been refined from the Forest Mantis’s monster core]
[You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough]
[You have reached Third Level Spirit Master]
[+12,000]
[You have reached Fourth Level Spirit Master]
[+13,000]
"Heavens... It took you two monster cores to increase your cultivation base by almost an entire realm... Does your Heaven Refining Physique have a limit?" Grandpa Lan mumbled in a dazed voice.
"A limit, huh? I have never reached this so-called limit yet, so I can’t really tell you." Yuan said.
"Is that so... But don’t push yourself too hard." Grandpa Lan said.
"I won’t," Yuan said.
After taking a deep breath, Yuan popped thest monster core into his mouth, which contained the power of a Spirit Grandmaster that is considered to be the peak of the Lower Heavens.
WHOOSH!
Yuan could feel his body gushing with spiritual energy after consuming the monster core, feeling as though many years of unused energy suddenly surge forward.
[Heaven Refining Physique]
[??? Qi has been absorbed from the Blood Ripper]
[You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough]
[You have reached Fifth Level Spirit Master]

[You have reached Ninth Level Spirit Master]

Yuan’s cultivation base stopped at the ninth level.
"I didn’t reach Spirit Grandmaster, but I can somehow feel it..." Yuan mumbled, feeling as though his body had grownrger from the sheer amount of power that resided within his body at this moment.
"My lord... Are you okay, young man? Do you feel any different right now? Any pain?" Grandpa Lan asked him.
Normally, one wouldn’t be able to increase their cultivation base so quickly, skipping so many levels at once. If they did, it was most likely with the help of some priceless treasure, and it would only be one or two levels, not an entire realm and some more. However, even then, their body will feel ufortable, even pain from the overwhelming amount of spiritual energy suddenly going inside their body.
"I feel perfectly fine— actually, I feel a little full, almost like I just ate a feast, but it’s spiritual energy instead of food..." Yuan said.
"You shouldn’t keep so much energy inside your body for too long or it might actually harm your body. Go and release it by training your techniques." Grandpa Lan said to Yuan, and he pointed in a certain direction before continuing, "There’s a training area not far from here."
"Okay, I’ll go now. Thank you!" Yuan immediately began running to the training area, andpared to before, his speed almost tripped.
In just a few minutes, he arrived at this spacious area that hadrge boulders ced everywhere with thergest boulder asrge as a ten-story building.
And without further ado, Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord and began his rampage on these boulders.
[Bloody Sword Strike!]
Yuan released as much spiritual energy as he could with the technique.
Whoosh!
A strong gust of wind appeared as the Empyrean Overlord cleaved therge boulders cleanly in half, almost like a sharp knife against a piece of paper.
[Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!]
Yuan used his strongest attack on the ten-story building after cleaving a fewrge boulders.
The entire ground shook as a massive beam of spiritual energy released from the Empyrean Overlord and flew towards the building.
BOOM!
The entire boulder disintegrated until nothing was left in an instant, almost like Yuan had used a methrower on a ball of cotton.
However, the attack didn’t stop at the boulder and continued flying into the distance— directly at the mountain not far away.
BOOM!
The ground shook again as the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike created arge hole in this mountain.
Meanwhile, back at the cabin, Grandpa Lan held a profound expression on his face as he stared at the hole that had suddenly appeared in this mountain at the horizon.
"Yingying, what do you think of this human?" He suddenly asked her, who was still stuffing her mouth with magical beasts.
"Yuan?" she stopped eating and asked.
"If... If you can leave this world, would you be willing to follow him, is what I’m trying to ask." Grandpa Lan spoke with a solemn look on his face.
"I-I can leave this world? Really?!"
"I won’t guarantee you anything, but if you bring this human to the Mystic Pagoda, he might be able to bring you outside— it’s a strong feeling I am getting right now, and my intuition is rarely wrong."
"But the demons will be attacking us soon! And he only has a month in this ce!" Lan Yingying said.
"I know, which is why instead of being sitting ducks and waiting for them to prepare for the invasion, we should strike them first when they least expect it." Grandpa Lan suddenly suggested, shocking Lan Yingying.
"Once you consume all of the magical beasts and the young man gets used to his newfound strength, we’ll attack."
