<h4>Chapter 1456: Benefit from a Misfortune</h4>


    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Ye Xiao was transferred to the destend because somebody did this to him on purpose, so he didn’t get through the ablution in the wash pond just like Xuan Bing and the others. Therefore, he still had the foundation he used to have in the lower realm. Because he was still a cultivator of the lower realm, he was severely impacted by the suppression of the Human Realm Upon Heavens. To cultivate the East-rising Purple Qi under such circumstances, he had to do it all over again. It was like cultivating the East-rising Purple Qi from the very beginning... In other words, Ye Xiao’s East-rising Purple Qi was at the first level and he had to cultivate it from the first level again!


    However, after one-month cultivation in this new world, the first level of the East-rising Purple Qi, which was reformed by the new spiritual power in the new world had beenpleted!


    At the very least, Ye Xiao could already jump forward ten meters in one step!


    Jumping ten meters ahead seemed to be rather simple because when Ye Xiao was the young lord Ye in the Land of Han-Yang, he could do more than that.


    However, in this world, everything was different. After finishing the first level of the East-rising Purple Qi, he could only jump ahead ten meters. That was all!


    He could just jump no further than ten meters at a time.


    He had tried to jump out further, again and again, checking on himself again and again, but there was no problem he could find. There was one thought in his head. ‘Have I lost my power?’


    ‘It doesn’t matter!’


    ‘I will get it back by working hard in cultivation.’


    ‘I don’t care what I have to do. I will do it and get my power back.’


    ‘If somebody takes my power away, I will fight it back!’


    ‘If the heaven takes my power away, I will cultivate harder to get it back!’


    That was why even in this destend, where no lives were seen, he never gave up training. All he tried to do was to improve himself.


    It was a great thing for him to regain some power, but what made him happier was something else he had obtained during the long travel in the destend. While he was moving fast, trying to get out of this area, he was obsessed with the ancient weapon scraps he might find in the surroundings. Anything he found, he would collect them all.


    He was thirsty for those ancient weapon scraps because when those broken pieces got refined by the Gold Space, they became some sort of special metal that Ye Xiao couldn’t recognize. These pieces of special metal were all in small size, only as big as a little finger, but they all weighed hundreds of kilogram. From time to time, one or two bigger ones would show up, which were as big as a human head and so hard that they were impossible to break, but these big ones were all weightless. The contrary contribution of the special metal made it extremely weird and iprehensible.


    With Ye Xiao’s limited experience in this world, he surely had no idea what the metal was, but he was certain that it was not some ordinary metal, and it could mean a lot for him.


    It was such a great thing. He should definitely collect as many as he could so that when he needed to use it in the future, he wouldn’t regret not collecting enough.


    After this, he might never have the chance toe back.


    The Stars Sword became the tool he used to dig the ground. The Monarch’s Sword was in the Gold Space, and the Gold Space was refining it automatically!


    The Stars Sword was definitely a peerless weapon, but it was made by somebody else.


    Ye Xiao could use it well, but not as well as the original owner who did make this sword.


    The Monarch’s Sword was the one that stayed with him for a life long time when he was the Xiao Monarch. It lived and died with him together. It was once broken, but Ye Xiao reformed it by using the power of the Heavenly Dao when he was ascending. The new Monarch’s Sword was pretty spiritual now, after the reforming.


    As long as Ye Xiao kept feeding it with nutrition, it would naturally improve with Ye Xiao together. They would improve together, change together, reach the top of the dao of cultivation together!


    The Monarch’s Sword was the perfect sword for Ye Xiao, the one that truly belonged to him.


    The Monarch’s Sword was made of some ordinary materials, from the mixture of five third-rate metals. However, after the reforming in the power of the Heavenly Dao when Ye Xiao ascended, it was marked with Ye Xiao’s soul spirit.


    That was the most important thing for Ye Xiao.


    It meant this sword was possible to be connected to Ye Xiao in a full connection. In other words, the Monarch’s Sword was ready to be Ye Xiao’s soul weapon, his mind sword!


    Because of the soul mark, the Monarch’s Sword was more important for Ye Xiao than the Golden Soul Tower, the most valuable weapon Ye Xiao ever had!


    The incredible Monarch’s Sword was valuable enough to make everybody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens jealous of Ye Xiao.


    As long as the Monarch’s Sword could be reforged with the correct material, it would be a new fantastic weapon!


    The Monarch’s Sword had been disintegrated in the Gold Space and became the original form.


    After that, Ye Xiao added those mysterious metals into the sword, which he extracted from all the ancient weapon scraps he had collected. The Monarch’s Sword was disintegrated and reforged repeatedly.


    Every time the Monarch’s Sword was disintegrated, some impure materials would be extracted off the Monarch’s Sword. Every time the Monarch’s Sword was reforged, it would be more strengthened. The sword was reformed from its base!


    After being reforged, again and again, the original materials of the Monarch’s Sword were almost all peeled off. What was left in the sword was the sword spirit. It was the best. In fact, the sword spirit of the Monarch’s Sword would be developed the most!


    Ye Xiao could totally feel the joy from the Monarch’s Sword.


    He could also sense the power of the Monarch’s Sword growing.


    The reforging continued for four months.


    Ye Xiao had cultivated the East-rising Purple Qi to the third level, which meant it was at the same level as in the Qing-Yun Realm. The ancient weapon scraps in the Gold Space didn’t be less after being used to reforge the Monarch’s Sword. Instead, more and more weapon scraps were collected and it had be a mountain of weapon scraps now.


    The Gold Space became a shining space with golden color. As it dposed more and more metal scraps, it became faster and faster.


    After about a hundred days—Ye Xiao’s soul sword; the Monarch’s Sword was finally taking shape. Even though the Gold Space was so powerful in dealing with metallic materials, it couldn’t add any more metal into the Monarch’s Sword, or extract any metal out of the Monarch’s Sword anymore!


    The new Monarch’s Sword was now just like the most beautiful woman in a kingdom. It would be too over to be longer, and it would be weak to be shorter!


    In other words, it was perfect!


    The new Monarch’s Sword was in the Gold Space, floating in the air.


    It was naturally glossed in long and bright lights!


    The new sword had a slightly different appearance from the old Monarch’s Sword.


    The handle of the Monarch’s Sword had some new t screw thread. If Ye Xiao was sweating when he was using the sword; as long as he kept holding the handle of the sword, the Monarch’s Sword would get the sweat off in his hand.


    His hand would be always dry and clean as if the sword was a part of his arm.


    He and the sword were one.


    There was only a small salient between the handle and the de of the sword. It wasn’t so obvious, but perfectly divide the handle and the de as two parts.


    It was elegant, noble, mysterious, proud, cold, blood-thirsty, and domineering!


    This sword perfectly exined the word, king!


    If all the famous swords, great swords, and legendary swords of the Human Realm Upon Heavens were gathered together in the same ce, this new Monarch’s Sword could be the king!


    It was unchallengeable!


    It was invible!


    In the Gold Space, the ancient weapon scraps Ye Xiao had collected from the destend were all reformed into some unidentified metals. There were hundreds of different kinds of metals in total. It was reasonable that there were so many different types of metals. The superior weapons in the world were always made of some special materials.


    Some supreme level weapons were made of several kinds of extraordinary metallic materials. The weapon scraps in this ancient battlefield were only useless cracked scraps, but the Gold Space had turned them back to their original form, so these materials became useful again.


    Ye Xiao had collected millions of ancient weapon scraps during the days in the deste battlefield. He was lucky that the sort working process was automatically done by the Gold Space. In fact, there were only a few hundred different kinds of materials. Technically speaking, several hundred kinds weren’t many. The truth was that the Gold Space had automatically merged all the insignificant kinds and the simr types into one, and it kept the important ones, the valuable ones on the top of all. The Gold Space did it again and again, so eventually, there were only a few hundred kinds left.


    These special and significant metals were sorted into different piles on the floor. Every type of the materials had piled up like a small mountain. What a splendid scene!


    Perhaps the Gold Space’s power was enhanced by the enormous amount of metallic materials. As it finished working on more and more of those special metals, its power had increased hundreds of times.


    At the present; when Ye Xiao threw a piece of weapon scrap into the Gold Space, it only took the Gold Space a few seconds to disintegrate it into tiny pieces, and then put them into the same materials, making the same materials into one.


    In fact, the Gold Space was working faster than Ye Xiao could collect.


    Ye Xiao found a hammer shape scrap by surprise. It was more like a metal block than a metal scrap. The metal block must be a part of a giant hammer. The handle of the hammer was gone, and over half of the hammer was missing. However, the left part of the hammer was as thick as the waist of a man. Other than the size, this metal block had one more thing that made it so special. This piece of metal was unbelievably hard.


    It was difficult to imagine how powerful the cultivator must be to destroy such an unbelievably powerful weapon!


    Ye Xiao was d to find a piece of such a wonderful weapon. He reached out one hand to get it into the Boundless Space. However, he was shocked that he failed to grab the metal block.


    There was one thing he would have to do when he wanted to get something into the Boundless Space—he had to move it. He had to be powerful enough to move everything he wanted outside the Boundless Space first, just like he did in the Mountain of all Medicines.


    Ye Xiao was utterly astonished. His East-rising Purple Qi had reached the third level now. When he saw the metal block, he was happy, so he wanted to grab the block and throw it into the Boundless Space. When he reached out a hand, he was using seventy percent of his real power. It could be enough for him to pick up something weighing thousands of kilograms, yet he failed. It meant that the broken piece of this hammer was at least five thousand kilograms!


    Ye Xiao took a closer look at the broken hammer. Although it was a broken weapon, the floating gloss on the surface was clearly seen. The hammer must be made of countless superior materials. All the purest parts of those materials had been forged into wholeness, and it was impossible to divide one from another.


    When some top-level materials were forged into a weapon, especially when many different kinds were merged together into one, it was impossible to reforge it. No matter how special and significant the hammer was, it couldn’t be used again. That was why it was left in this destend, and Ye Xiao was lucky to have it!


    He didn’t dare to be careless this time, so he used his full power to move the hammer and got it into the Boundless Space. After that, he stood up straight and looked around, trying to find some other simr scraps, but there was none.


    Because the East-rising Purple Qi had been recovered to the third level, Ye Xiao’s spiritual mind could reach quite far. The ancient weapon scraps within the reachable area were all collected by Ye Xiao, and the metal scraps in the Gold Space shined in golden lights.


    The metallic materials were piling up like mountains inside the Gold Space, and Ye Xiao was so happy about it.


    ‘How astonishing! I have juste to the Human Realm Upon Heavens for a short time, and I have already obtained so many valuable materials! What a paradise! How significant!’


    Although Ye Xiao didn’t know how valuable the materials exactly were, he was quite sure that he was going to be rich. What a great benefit from a misfortune!‘If good luck strikes you, it won’t be worse. If bad luck strikes you, you won’t be able to escape. The heaven always blesses the good man, and I am a good man. These metallic materials will be treasures for sure.’


    ...


    In somewhere far away from the destend...


    The guy who had thrown Ye Xiao to the ancient battlefield was shocked, and his mouth was kept open. He was watching everything on Ye Xiao, and he was astonished. He was absolutely astonished!


    Several people were surrounding him and looking at his funny face. They just couldn’t help chuckling.


    “What the hell is this? Does Boundless Space have this incredible power? Can it really turn the materials into their original forms? Damn it... I... Does this mean I have done him a great favor?” The guy pointed at the screen in front of him and said. He just couldn’t believe what he had seen.


    “Hah hah hah hah hah hah...” The others were pping their own butts,ughing out loud. None of them could care more about their dishonorable behavior anymore.


    A middle-aged man, who looked like a schr, looked at the guy with a faint smile on his face. He then ndly said, “I knew it. I knew you would do this. I said it, didn’t I? I said that it would be too easy for him to just ascend like that... After I said it, I knew you would throw him to the battlefield to steel his will.”


    “We do treat him well. We like him, but we don’t want to help him too much, because we need him to grow, to be stronger. If we help him too much, he would never be able to get well trained again. You threw him to that special area to steel him, and the oue only depends on his own personality. I understand it. That ce could be a nightmare to him, but also could be a great opportunity.”


    “I guess that is why Chief wants Ji Mo to do this. Ji Mo should do it, so we will get the oue that is both surprising and reasonable... Here it is! Chief does have a profound view. He knows so well about Ji Mo...”


    As this middle-aged man talked, the others felt even funnier.


    Ji Mo was awkwardly speechless, and then he raged up in anger. “Damn it! I was wondering why Chief would give me the chance to do this to that guy. He has his own little n on this! You... You all knew! You all set me up! Aren’t you supposed to be my good brothers...?”


    “Come on! You are easy to set up!” The others said, “You are the easiest! Who else should we do this too if not you?”


    “You chose the battlefield! Hah hah hah... It did put him into a difficult ce, but also give him a great opportunity!” The others started tough out loud. One of them actually made a long wolf howl, pping his own butts, showing his teeth out.


    “How did Chief know that I would throw him to this ce? It is impossible!” Ji Mo was rubbing his head. He still didn’t understand.


    “I told you... It is all reasonable choices. This is the most unbearable ce in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Of course, you would throw him into this ce. Where else do you think you could throw him to? Where?” The man who was waving a fan in the hand showed an elegant smile and said, “Ji Mo, you earned the credit now. The rest of this should be all left to that guy now. How lucky is he? This is something we won’t know until the truth brings the answer to us!”


    Ji Mo seemed to be quite upset, and he was awkwardly speechless. “...”


    After a while, he shouted out abuse and said, “What the f*ck! Reasonable my ass! Next time, you should go set Wolfy up! Do not do this to me ever again! If someone dares to do this to me again, I will get to him with death! You better hope that I won’t bite you all up to death!”


    ...


    Ye Xiao was quite happy about what he had obtained so far, but as he looked up, he realized there was no road ahead of him anymore. In front of him, there was an energy wall in white color. He had never seen such a thing ever. As he stuck the finger on the energy screen, he felt so soft.


    He pushed the screen but was unable to remove it.


    “I guess on the other side of this energy shield, it is the normal world of the Human Realm Upon Heavens...” Ye Xiao said to himself.


    He was such an ignorant man who had just arrived at this ce. He had taken the battlefield as the normal world of the Human Realm Upon Heavens all this time.


    “It turns out I am in a test... Only after breaking this energy shield, I am truly in the Human Realm Upon Heavens...”


    Ye Xiao was enlightened.


    Although Ye Xiao knew that there were more ancient weapon scraps in this area. If he turned around and went to another direction, he would get to somewhere where he could collect many more of those metallic scraps. However, it took him a long time to finally get to this energy screen, where he believed to be on the entrance of the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Sometimes it was right to give up something. He figured it was much more important to enter the Human Realm Upon Heavens than collecting the materials!


    He didn’t hesitate, only gathered his full power, and then hit the energy screen hard.


    – Puff! –


    Ye Xiao was bounced back immediately. The energy screen was incredibly tough. He ran into it in full power, but actually failed to break it!


    He didn’t believe it, so he tried it again in full power. However, no matter how hard he tried, nothing changed. He felt like he was hitting on a huge rubber ball. He felt like his rushing power was like a mud sculpture sinking into the ocean. Everything was so soft, and he just couldn’t break anything. He did everything he could, but the screen just kept bouncing him back again and again. The screen didn’t hit him back harder when he hit it harder. Otherwise, he might get smashed by himself.


    “What? I can’t believe this doesn’t work! Fine! You want to show me your softness, right?” Ye Xiao stared at the energy screen and said, “Here is my sword attack!”


    He raised up the Stars Sword and then shed down fiercely.


    The Stars Sword truly had an incredibly sharp de! With a sound of shing, the energy screen was cut through. It was cut open! Ye Xiao was happy that it finally worked, but before he got through the screen, the energy screen healed immediately!


    It looked like it was never cut open before.


    “This is weird!”


    Ye Xiao took out the Monarch’s Sword and cut the screen again, but nothing changed. The energy screen healed so fast that Ye Xiao couldn’t do any faster. If he directly rushed through that hole, he would probably get stuck in the energy screen.


    Ye Xiao was no longer happy now. He was troubled instead.


    The way to the Human Realm Upon Heavens was right in front of him, yet the weird energy screen blocked the way in front of him. He couldn’t break it or cut it, then what should he do to get out?


    ‘This is not good!’


    ...


    For the next three days, he tried everything he could in front of the energy screen. He had tried to think of every possible method and does anything he knew on the screen. He had used rock, sword, water, fire, and even his teeth...


    All in all, no matter what he did, the energy screen remained there unharmed. Ye Xiao was kept inside the energy shield. He couldn’t leave this area no matter what he did.


    There was nothing else he could think of, so he sat on the floor and said, “I have never seen a test like this ever... This is simply torturing, isn’t it? This is even more annoying than Gu Jinlong. I don’t have an egg which I can crack anything with anymore!”


    The third day ended. Ye Xiao had tried crashing the screen for a whole day, and now he was exhausted. Hey down and leaned on the screen, murmuring, “I am exhausted... You are soft. Fine. You proved it. Can I use you as a cushion at least?”


    When he asked the question, he asked it fiercely, but then he suddenly eximed. “Ah! What the f*ck!”


    As hey down on the energy screen, he suddenly got through it directly!


    At the moment, Ye Xiao was already exhausted, but he was still pushing the screen when he leaned on it. It was surprising that the energy screen didn’t resist him at all, and Ye Xiao got through the screen and rolled over to the other side. That was so shocking to Ye Xiao, and he didn’t even have time to react before he realized that he was on the other side already.


    Ye Xiao was confused and so he said, “What? Is it so? To get through this screen I should not use my real power at all?”


    ‘My heavens... It is just as simple as that...’


    He didn’t have time to think about this anymore though, because he was in a pretty dangerous situation. He was still rolling, just like he rolled over the energy screen. When he got through the energy screen, the energy wall didn’t resist him at all, so he kept rolling over fast. In fact, it wouldn’t be so difficult for him to stand up on the ground firmly as long as he could have enough time to do something. It just happened too fast and he couldn’t hold himself up. More surprisingly, he realized he was right on top of a cliff.


    Which meant he was in the air, beyond the precipice.


    In other words, on the other side of that white energy screen, it was a precipice. When Ye Xiao got through the energy screen, he was jumping off the cliff!


    He actually jumped off the precipice in an extremely weird way—rolling backward into the air!


    He was jumping off the cliff with a backward roll!


    As Ye Xiao realized what situation he was in, he couldn’t help but exim out. He took a breath and tried to control his body. He should at least stop himself from rolling backward in the air!


    However, as he tried to rise his qi inside up, he was floating up! He was shocked to notice that his body started to fly up. He wasn’t falling, but actually rising.


    “What? What is going on?”


    That was totally beyond Ye Xiao’s expectation. In fact, it was unbelievably great!


    In that deste area, Ye Xiao had cultivated his East-rising Purple Qi to the third level again from the beginning level, so he could rise up in the air by using the spiritual qi. However, it only allowed him to fly up over ten meters and that was all. It was impossible that he could stop in the air and float.


    After all, to float in the air like this, he had to fight against the gravity with his own power, to make himself weightless like a feather. Ye Xiao knew that he could never do this himself.


    However, he did float up now. He thought about it quickly and got a conclusion. Perhaps, in this ce, the gravity was much lighter than the gravity force in the deste area, so he was powerful enough to float up in the air. Or maybe this ce was a special ce, where everybody could float up like this. They were the only two possibilities!


    What happened had happened, so he decided to ept it, and started to look at the precipice right below his feet.


    The cliff was so sharp as if somebody cut this out with a sword sh. The cliff was t and sharp, shining in dim metallic gloss.


    Ye Xiao kept looking at this mountain carefully again and again, and eventually, he confirmed that there was some kind of special metal inside the mountain, which should be rather significant.


    As he looked at the mountain, he suddenly came up with a weird thought. “This mountain... The cliff... Well, is it possible that somebody did cut this mountain with one move and created this cliff?”


    As he came up with such an idea, he frightened himself a little, so he med himself for making things so scary with some weird and unrealistic thoughts. However, as he looked at the cliff longer, he felt it more like a sword cut on the mountain.


    Ye Xiao clearly knew how rough and hard the rocks in the mountain could be in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. If this cliff was truly made by somebody’s sword sh, then that man...


    Ye Xiao took a cold breath.


    He was frightened by his own thought!


    After a while, he had already risen up to a certain point where he could see the other end of the cliff, so he slightlynded on the mountain.


    As he stood firmly on the ground, he looked back but only to be shocked.


    ‘Where is that destend?’


    ‘Where is that... soft energy screen?’


    ‘Well, the destend may be blocked by the energy screen, but I should be able to at least see the screen!’


    ‘Where is it?’


    Now everything in the deste area became so mysterious to Ye Xiao. Not only the ancient weapon scraps but also many other things in that mysterious area were special for him. The ancient battlefield should be right before his eyes, but all he saw at the moment was a broad greennd. Not to mention the destend, even that white soft energy screen was gone...
