Ye Xiao followed the Fifth Elder Ye Fan and became a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect.

Fifth Elder Ye Fan gave him his surname. From that day on, he was known as Ye Xiao.

Then one day, he heard that the Fifth Elder Ye Fan died while doing a mission of the sect.

And also from that day onwards, his life once again took a turn. He was framed and became a cripple.

Zhou Yan tried to kill him but to his surprise, he was still alive after falling from the cliff. Not only he survived, his dantian and meridians that were damaged, was once again repaired.

Surprisingly, he discovered that there was an extra existence in his body. That existence was the Heavenly Pearl.

The Heavenly Pearl once again changed his life and in a very short amount of time, he became so powerful that he can almost destroy the Silver Moon Sect if he wants to.

Then some different scenes appeared in his mind.

The scene when he first entered into the World of the Heavenly Pearl. At that time, some strange but very domineering sound echoed in his mind, telling him that he was the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl and he will control his own destiny. No one has the right to look down on him, not even the heavens.

When this scene appeared in his mind as if he was immediately awoken. He stopped trembling under the pressure of a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, Ma Bao.

Ma Bao was surprised to see that his pressure was doing nothing to Ye Xiao. Seeing this, he once again increased the pressure, and this time, it was the true pressure of a Martial Emperor Realm Expert.

Ye Xiao's body again trembled but Ye Xiao's eyes were closed and he behaved as if nothing was happening.

Blood was still leaking out from the corner of his mouth.

"Humph! Do you think that I can do nothing if you withstand the pressure? You are thinking too much." After saying this, Ma Bao took out a long sword and slashed at Ye Xiao's neck.

Ye Xiao still had his eyes closed. He did not open his eyes nor did he tried to dodge the attack of Ma Bao.

Ma Bao's sword stopped exactly an inch away from Ye Xiao's neck.

"Damn brat, do you want to die?" Ma Bao shouted in anger. This was the first time when someone did not give him face and did not try to dodge an attack that can kill him.

If Ma Bao did not stop his attack, Ye Xiao would have been beheaded by him.

He did not understand why Ye Xiao was only trembling under his pressure but not kneeling.

To make Ye Xiao kneel, Ma Bao even pressured him with all of his strength but still, Ye Xiao did not kneel. He was still just trembling and blood was leaking out from the corner of his mouth.

And exactly because of this, Ma Bao was fuming in anger.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao was still lost in the scenes that appeared in his mind at this time.

He remembered that when he heard those voices in his ears, he vowed that he will never bow his head in front of anyone. He vowed that he will walk on the path to the peak of martial arts and no one would have the right to stand in his path toward the peak of the martial arts.

He vowed that if the devils blocked his path, he will cut the devils into thousands of pieces, if the gods stand blocking his path, he will kill the gods and if the heavens blocked his bath, he will destroy the heavens.

But now, there was someone who wanted to make Ye Xiao kneel in front of him. This person was neither a devil nor a god but a human, a human slightly stronger than him. This human was blocking his path. If he kneeled here, how could he have the face to say those arrogant words like cutting the devils in thousands of pieces, killing the gods, and destroying the heavens.

"No, I will never kneel in front of anyone, never ever."

Ye Xiao murmured and suddenly he opened his eyes and two rays of light flashed out from his eyes.

When Ma Bao saw him opening his eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of terror in his heart and took some steps back.

When he realized that he had taken some steps back because of Ye Xiao and even felt terror and was scared by a mere Origin Core Realm martial artist, he erupted with anger.

"Damn brat, I will kill you." Saying this, Ma Bao immediately slashed at Ye Xiao with his sword, and this time, he has no intention of stopping his attack. This time, he really wanted to kill Ye Xiao.

On the other hand, the moment Ye Xiao opened his eyes, the Heavenly Pearl started rotating in his heart but Ye Xiao did not feel it.

He was lost in himself and muttering something.

He saw Ma Bao slashing at him but again, he did not see it. He just continues to mumble something.

He saw immense hatred and fierceness in Ma Bao's eyes but again he did not see it.

"No one has the right to look down on me. No one has the right to stand in my path, no one."

When Ma Bao's sword was about to cut his neck, Ye Xiao suddenly roared toward the sky. And at this time, the Heavenly Pearl in his heart also suddenly stopped rotating.

The wind that was moving slowly suddenly intensified and became strong. A very strong wind suddenly started blowing. Black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and lightning started to crackle.

Dust started to move up in the air with wind and the wind became strong and strong, and soon, the wind transformed into a storm.

This storm couple with the thunders in the sky instantly transformed into a terrifying thunderstorm. And the most frightening thing was that the thunderstorm not only covered the entire Cloudsmoke Forest but it was covering far more area than anyone can see.

The thunderstorm was covering the entire Grand Xia Empire. There were some signs of it spreading even further.

Soon, very strong rains started across the entire Grand Xia Empire.

The thunderstorm soon crossed the borders of the Grand Xia Empire and started to spread throughout many empires.

.....

Somewhere far away, in the Grand Xia Empire, an old man was sitting cross-legged on top of a mountain. A very beautiful young lady who was only about the same age as Ye Xiao was also sitting near him. Her face was covered in a veil but even so, anyone who sees her would definitely fall in love with her. She was a devastating beauty.

Suddenly, that old man opened his eyes.

"Grandfather!"

Seeing the old man opening his eyes, that beautiful young lady spoke out in a soft but happy voice.

That old man turned and looked at his granddaughter but did not say anything instead, he turned to look in a direction far away.

"Grandfather, what happened?" The beautiful young lady went near the old man and asked.

But before the old man could even answer him, a thunderstorm suddenly appeared and soon it started raining.

But the amazing thing was that neither the thunderstorm nor the rain managed to touch the old man. But the beautiful young lady soaked in rain. The thunderstorm was so strong that it frightened the beautiful young lady.

"Grandfather!" The beautiful young lady hurriedly holds the hands of her grandfather.

The old man shook his slightly and said, "Qing'er, tomorrow, we will go to the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire. You wanted to enter into the Secret Realm right, I will talk with the emperor and let him give you a spot. Until then, don't breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm. After entering into the Secret Realm, you can breakthrough."

"Yes, grandfather. But... but you did not want me to enter into the Secret Realm first and even said that it is a waste of time for me to enter into that Secret Realm then why are you suddenly telling me to enter into the Secret Realm?" Qing'er asked in a puzzled tone.

She was only sixteen and she is already at the peak of the Martial King Realm, only half a step away from breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Her talent could be seen from this. She was a genius and if placed in a second grade country like the Golden Fragrance Country, no one could rival her. Let alone in the Second Grade Country, even in the First Grade Country, there will be no one who could rival her.

But yes, two anomalies have appeared in the Grand Xia Empire. One was Ye Xiao and the other one was Lin Hao.
