The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 825: Disengaged Erhuo!

Disengaged Erhuo! . . .

As the spiritual power surged into Cha Eun Xiao's body, it permeated his very being, reaching the absolute limits of his physical vessel. This experience unveiled the boundaries of his body's endurance, revealing the extent of his capabilities.

In the face of this challenging ordeal, Cha Eun Xiao experienced a complex blend of emotions—pain and happiness intertwined. He yearned to complete this agonizing process swiftly, yet he also desired for it to persist, providing him with deeper insights into his own body.

Cha Eun Xiao's extraordinary endurance left the three old masters unfazed. To them, there was no longer room for further amazement. In those two hours, when even the hardest steel could be melted, Cha Eun Xiao had maintained an unwavering silence.

His willpower was awe-inspiring, a testament to the incredible strength he possessed.

Lei Dadi couldn't help but speak to his younger disciple brothers after the challenge. "I believe we have discovered a true gem. This young man is remarkably talented. I never expected his willpower to be this strong. I'm confident he will outperform me in this training."

Yun Piaoliu concurred, albeit with a hint of trepidation. "Breaking your record shouldn't be a problem. In fact, he may very well shatter our sect's record. The sheer tenacity he's displayed tells us a lot about his character."

The three old masters nodded in unison.

Following this grueling challenge, Cha Eun Xiao devoured his meal voraciously, displaying a ravenous hunger. The three grandmasters had provided him with a feast of spiritually potent meat from various mystical beasts, and Cha Eun Xiao consumed nearly a dozen kilograms of it. He washed it down with half a bucket of water.

However, he didn't experience a moment's rest. Before the next challenge began, he could already sense the swift digestion of his meal and the rapid transformation of the water into sweat.

Throughout the day, Cha Eun Xiao had only a small window of time for sustenance—breakfast, lunch, and dinner combined to less than fifteen minutes. The remainder of his day was spent enduring trials that seemed like a lifetime of hardship.

Yet, he embraced this life. He welcomed it with open arms and would willingly live it over and over again.

As the days passed, each challenge etched a deeper level of pain into Cha Eun Xiao's consciousness. Every new day brought a test, each one feeling like an entire lifetime of suffering.

Yet, he thrived on such an existence, yearning to live it repeatedly. On the next day, fresh challenges awaited him.

As the days passed, Cha Eun Xiao began to notice a remarkable transformation in his body. His vitality surged, his reactions became more lightning-quick, and his senses grew sharper. It was as if every fiber of his being was undergoing a dynamic upgrade.

Moreover, his sea of consciousness expanded, leading to the gradual enlargement of the Boundless Space. This meant that his soul power was also on the rise. It was a profound development that filled him with enthusiasm for the training, and he astonished the three venerable grandmasters repeatedly. They couldn't fathom what kind of extraordinary individual he was, capable of willingly embracing the extreme pain of the special training. Sometimes, they questioned whether he was even a normal human being.

Erhuo had accompanied Cha Eun Xiao to Cold Moon Palace. Yet, during the intensive three months of grueling training, Cha Eun Xiao hardly had a moment to spare for the little cat.

Prior to the commencement of the three months of hell, Cha Eun Xiao had dispatched Erhuo with specific instructions: "Go find yourself something to eat! Do not make any troubles! Do not reveal yourself to anybody!"

Erhuo diligently fulfilled two of the three tasks Cha Eun Xiao had set. It readily located a bounty of delectable food and maintained an undetectable presence among the inhabitants of Cold Moon Palace. Indulging in culinary delights was something it would have undoubtedly done regardless of Cha Eun Xiao's directive.

However, avoiding trouble proved to be a Herculean challenge.

Erhuo, a spiritual beast that had been sealed for millions of years and had a penchant for exquisite food, struggled to refrain from causing disturbances. During the three months Cha Eun Xiao spent enduring his grueling training, Cold Moon Palace experienced near pandemonium thanks to Erhuo's antics.

In Cold Moon Palace, virtually everyone possessed the ability to control and house their own spiritual beasts, as it was an integral facet of their cultivation. Beyond level five of the Dream Origin Stage, each practitioner had a soul beast that served as both a companion and a formidable ally in battle.

These soul beasts usually remained in a dedicated space, only emerging when they were needed in battle or when their masters sought to cultivate together. They were precious companions, cherished and protected as extensions of their owners' lives.

Erhuo initially exercised caution in this unfamiliar environment, acutely aware that it was somewhere entirely new with a new master. It understood the paramount importance of staying safe. After all, being alive was the first and foremost consideration.

However, after roughly five days, Erhuo came to a realization—no one in Cold Moon Palace could catch up to its incredible speed. It could move at such a blistering pace that no one could even lay a hand on it.

Erhuo was overjoyed by this newfound freedom. In its eyes, it had discovered a world where it could do as it pleased without fear of reprisal.

Excitement bubbled within Erhuo. [Wait a minute... if no one can catch me, does that mean I can run rampant in this place?]

[This is incredible!]

With newfound freedom and glee, Erhuo sought out its first unwitting victim in the form of Prime Master Yue, Yue Changtian.
