Xuan Ye Feng opens his eyes upon feeling the familiar feeling of breaking through.'Li Yang World really is a much better place to cultivate at then Earth is... Directly breaking through in just a nights cultivations.' muses Xuan Ye Feng. He gets up from his bed and heads out of the bedrooms doors. Probably noticing that his master is done cultivating, Ye Sha appears in front of Xuan Ye Feng.

"Master, the other 9 are currently waiting for you within the middle room with their information." reports Ye Sha. Xuan Ye Feng nods and walks towards the middle room, which he considers to be the living room. Once he enters, he finds the other 9 shadow guards are waiting for him. They are about to greet him, but he interupts them, "Tell me what you all learned." orders Xuan Ye Feng.

They all look at eachother before Ye Gu finally steps up. "Master, the continent we are on is called the Ji Zhi Continent. It is one of the 5 continents that exist in the Li Yang World. It is also the weakest one. The other 4 continents are called the Bo Pa Continent, Ka Mi Continent, Qi Hao Continent and the Central Continent. The continents are also ordered by strength, with Ji Zhi being the weakest and the Central Continent being the strongest. The Central Continent is larger than the other 4 combined, and the weakest people there are Heavenly cultivators." reports Ye Gu. Xuan Ye Feng is a little surprised that the weakest cultivators on the Central Continent are already Heavenly realm, but after thinking about it for a while, the continent itself is larger than the others combined, so it makes some sense.

Seeing as how Ye Gu is done, Ye Mo also starts reporting. "Master, this capital city is called Ji Capital City. The royal family here are surnamed Nangong. The emperor is called Nangong Zhi Mo, and he is currently at Nascent stage 6, being the strongest person in Ji Zhi Continent. He has 30 guards, all being in Gold Core between stage 3 and stage 8. There are 4 Princes and 2 Princesses. The crown prince, Nangong Zhi Hao is a 26 year old Gold Core stage 4 cultivator. He also has Fire and Wind elements, and is praised to be a complete genius. The second prince, Nangong Zhi Yun is 24 years old and is a Gold Core stage 2, with Fire element. Though not compared to the crown prince, he is also somewhat of a genius. The third prince, Nangong Zhi Shu is 16 years old and is currently at Foundation Establishment stage 6, which people consider normal for a royal family. The fourth prince, Nangong Zhi Ki is 8 years old and hasn't started cultivating yet. The first princess, Nangong Zhi Lin, is 16 years old and is at Foundation Establishment stage 3. The second princess, Nangong Zhi Yue is 13 and is considered trash, as she is not able to cultivate. She is apparently very cowardly and is always alone with a single servant." reports Ye Mo. Xuan Ye Feng raises and eyebrow at the cultivation of the royal family, realizing that he is still too weak.

Ye Xi steps up next to report her results. "Master, the forest we appeared in is called the Death Forest. It is a massive forest that lengths at a few thousands Km. The outer layers of the forest are filled with Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment beasts, where people from all over train their young. The inner area is filled with Gold Core and some Nascent beasts. There is also a possibility that there is a Heavenly beast somewhere there." report Ye Xi. Xuan Ye Feng narrows his eyes at the mention of a Heavenly beast, but doesn't bother about it after a bit of thinking.

Ye Shi also steps up now. "Master, there is an academy called White Snow Academy. It accepts people from all over the continent, though most of them fail the exams. The headmaster is a stage 4 Nascent, almost as strong as the Emperor, and it appears they are good friends. The are thousands of Foundation Establishment and hundreds of Gold Core cultivators there, not to mention the amount of Qi Condensation ones. The Academy sends people to train at the outer area of the Death Forest every month as a test. Those that do the best will be rewarded, while those that do the worst will be punished, though I am not aware of what the rewards and punishments are." Reports Ye Shi. Xuan Ye Feng figured there would be an academy such as this, so it does not come as much of a surprise. What surprised him is the headmasters cultivation.

Ye Zho steps up this time. "Master, there is a Prime Minister called Zhao Jiu. He is a Gold Core stage 7 cultivator, not considered that strong, though he is very smart and gives a lot of ideas to the Emperor. There is two generals in the capital, both of which are Nascent stage 2. The first general is called Song Jin and he is very close to the crown prince, so I assume he is under him. The second general, Zhu Cang is similarily under the second prince. I think that the crown prince and second prince are secretly fighting, to see who will be the true crown prince." reports Ye Zho. Xuan Ye Feng is once again reminded that his cultivation is currently too low.

The others report that they have nothing to say that hasn't already been said, so Xuan Ye Feng dismisses them and decides to constantly cultivate until something big or interesting happens. After telling his shadow guards this, they all understand and won't disturb him unless something big is going on. Xuan Ye Feng heads back to his room and sits on his bed and takes out one of his few tier 3 Profound Gathering pills and puts it in his mouth. After swallowing it he finds that the spiritual energy around is constantly rushing towards his body in surges, and in a matter of a few hours he broke through to Gold Core stage 3.

1 month later, Xuan Ye Feng is at Gold Core stage 9 and is about to swallow another pill and continue cultivating before he hears someone knock on his door. "What is it?" asks Xuan Ye Feng. The door opens and Ye Sha comes in and kneels at the edge of his bed. "Master, the Emperor, Nangong Zhi Mo, is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and an invitation was sent to our manor inviting you to go. Should I dispose of the invitation?" asks Ye Sha.

Xuan Ye Feng thinks for a bit before shaking his head. "No need. I should head to the Emperors birthday to meet him at least. Go buy me a good pill furnace aswell as all these herbs." orders Xuan Ye Feng while writing down a long list of herbs. Ye Sha takes the list and looks it over before dissapearing and heading to buy everything. Xuan Ye Feng waits for about an hour before Ye Sha comes back. He hands over a spatial ring to Xuan Ye Feng and he looks inside it.

Xuan Ye Fend finds an exquisite looking pill furnace, aswell as thousands of herbs and leftover gold inside the spatial ring. He sends Ye Sha away and brings out the pill furnace and a bunch of herbs and starts the same old steps. He fails a few times, and succeeds a few times over the next few hours and at the end of it all, he has 4 bottles of tier 3 Profound Gather and Healing pills. Xuan Ye Feng decides to gift the Emperor a bottle of each pill, as tier 3 pills are rare as heck outside of the Central Continent.

Xuan Ye Feng sees that it is still not that late, so he decides to just continue his cultivation until the time for the Emperors birthday comes.
