The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 938: Cultivation Boost!

Cultivation Boost! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao nodded, as if he could comprehend the hawk's unspoken sentiments. "You should return. I will come back when I have the chance, or perhaps you can visit me once you've grown."

The hawk tenderly brushed its head against Cha Eun Xiao's hand, reluctant to see him leave. In a show of gratitude for Erhuo's translation efforts, it nodded to the cat. Stepping back a few paces, the hawk emitted a resounding roar. It vigorously unfurled its enormous wings and ascended into the sky, vanishing like a swift arrow.

Erhuo couldn't contain its glee, covering its mouth with a paw and chuckling triumphantly.

Cha Eun Xiao appeared puzzled, casting a quizzical look at Erhuo. The cat, however, maintained an air of innocence, as if nothing unusual had occurred.

Unbeknownst to Cha Eun Xiao, Erhuo hadn't faithfully relayed the entirety of the hawk's message. Instead, it had altered a crucial detail. The hawk had extended three feathers and waved to indicate that it would be fully prepared in three months, but Erhuo had told Cha Eun Xiao it would take three years.

Consequently, Cha Eun Xiao remained blissfully unaware of the cat's clever ruse. He believed that Erhuo was doing a fine job of translation, when, in reality, the cat was intentionally distorting the information.

It was said that it was preferable to offend a gentleman rather than a scoundrel. But in this case, it was even better to offend a scoundrel than to cross paths with Erhuo.

Erhuo, perched on Cha Eun Xiao's shoulder, rolled its eyes and contemplated its upcoming schemes. "Meow… Humph. This foolish bird is indeed something special. It doesn't belong to the thirteen spirits. If it had joined us sooner, the treasures in the Space wouldn't belong to me alone. I'll need to make the most of the resources within the Space while I still can. Every day is crucial. Besides, translations can be erroneous at times. At the very least, it is never perfectly accurate…"

As Cha Eun Xiao descended the mountain, he gazed at the lush forest and felt as though he were in a dream.

Everything that had occurred felt like a remarkable dream. No, it was more accurate to say that he had experienced several peculiar but extraordinary dreams.

Upon deeper reflection, Cha Eun Xiao came to an intriguing realization. The Sky Soul Mountain was teeming with vibrant life. Lush vegetation adorned the entire area.

Yet, when he had fallen from the Sky Soul Precipice, he had landed amidst a field of lifeless corpses. Subsequently, he had entered a tunnel that led to a frozen, icy world. The discrepancy left Cha Eun Xiao bewildered.

He couldn't help but think that he had traversed different worlds.

The cold, icy realm had never existed in the vicinity of the Sky Soul Mountain during his previous visits. Therefore, he decided to scale the mountain once more, taking the same route as before. Upon reaching the cliff's edge and gazing across to the other side, he was struck by profound confusion.

Where was the snow and ice? There was nothing of the sort to be found. This was undoubtedly an entirely different world from the ice and snow-covered mountain he had visited previously.

Cha Eun Xiao was at a loss, grappling with a nagging question. Was it all just a dream?

As he pondered the possibility, Cha Eun Xiao became aware of a peculiar occurrence. Upon descending the mountain and mounting Darky, he recognized faint shouts emanating from a distance. Although the sounds were feeble, he could still discern the clashing of weapons for a brief moment.

Yet, as he tried to concentrate on the sounds, they abruptly ceased.

Cha Eun Xiao was astounded. "A few thousand meters away? How is that even possible?" He examined his hand in disbelief. "Previously, I had improved my spiritual sensitivity, but I could only hear sounds from hundreds of meters away, and even then, only if I focused intensely. How could I have heard something from several thousand meters away without even trying? It wasn't my imagination."

The soft sounds had originated from a distance greater than three thousand meters, an impressive feat.

Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback, and without delay, he spurred Darky towards the source of the mysterious sound. His curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't resist the urge to confirm if such distant sounds were genuine. The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

In the span of a blink, something extraordinary unfolded. The spiritual energy within him surged, welling up from the depths of his dantian. In an instant, it coursed through his body in a few profound cycles. Oddly, during this occurrence, Darky scarcely felt its master's presence on its back.

Cha Eun Xiao was left awestruck by this peculiar experience. He had entered an enigmatic state, one that defied the laws of gravity and physicality. It was as if he had transcended the boundaries of the mortal realm and become a celestial being, weightless and ethereal.

This level of transcendence was only achievable by those who had surpassed the seventh stage of the Dream Origin Realm. Prior to his arrival at Sky Soul Mountain, Cha Eun Xiao had been a fifth-stage cultivator in the Dream Origin Realm. Yet, without any discernible effort, he had progressed two levels in a matter of moments.

He had been actively trying to suppress his cultivation speed and hadn't even realized when he broke through twice. It was a strange and unexpected occurrence that had left him in utter disbelief.

This sudden transformation was nothing short of miraculous and bewildering.

The East-rising Purple Qi erupted within him, enveloping his entire body in a shimmering purple aura. From a distance, he appeared to be a cosmic ruler, surveying the world from on high. This sudden surge of power marked his ascension to the second level of the East-rising Purple Qi, the pinnacle of Purple Qi Descends.

The next step would be to reach the third level of East-rising Purple Qi.

Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "What on earth is happening?"

He felt a profound mix of emotions, ranging from amazement to disbelief. While he understood the benefits of advancing in cultivation, he hadn't anticipated such rapid progress. It was as though the very essence of his power had surged forth, regardless of his intentions.

Erhuo, tucked into his clothing, peered out with half of its head, rolling its eyes and playfully flicking its tail. It let out a triumphant meow as if to say, "I told you so."

Cha Eun Xiao grabbed Erhuo and urged it to speak, his face a portrait of confusion and curiosity. Erhuo promptly responded with a series of meows and expressive gestures.

"So, it's because I've been suppressing my power, and it's suddenly burst forth in the past few days, elevating my cultivation levels?" Cha Eun Xiao inquired.

Erhuo nodded with an affirmative "Meow!"
