Above the Flying Artifact
"Grandma Qiu, how did you meet Big Brother in the past?" Shen Huang asked as she sat on Tang Qiu's lap, and she looked so comfortable with her.
Tang Qiu gently caressed her head and replied to her. "Back then, my father and grandfather were quite famous treasure hunters. One day, they found some very valuable ancient relics, and they tried to hide them well, but the information still leaked out. Then some evil people came to them, and they slaughtered my family for the sake of those ancient relics. At that time, my mother hid me in a safe place, so I managed to survive their heinous actions. After that, I met the master who happened to be passing by in that area; he then took me to live with him and the mistress, and he also taught me how to cultivate."
Seeing Tang Qiu's sad expression, Shen Huang then hugged her. "I know how you feel, Grandma Qiu. A few days ago my family was massacred by a demon beast, then Big Brother saved me and killed the demon beast, so I now live with him."
"How unfortunate; you are still so small, but you have already lost your family." Tang Qiu said with a sigh as she hugged Shen Huang back.
Shen Huang just shook her head. "Even though I have lost my family, I now have Big Brother, Big Sister Yue, Big Sister Huang, and the others, and I feel grateful to meet them."
--------------------------------------
Feng Xian'er, who heard their conversation from afar, could only sigh and shake her head. "Some humans are no different from demons, and their greed truly knows no bounds."
"Well, greed is part of human nature. Even people in the Immortal Realm are more terrifying than people in the lower realms, and in there you can find corpses lying on the side of the road almost any time."
"Isn't that place incredibly brutal?" Bing Huang asked with a frown.
Xia Tian nodded to her. "Life in there is truly brutal when you compare it to our realm, and if you're not careful with your words, your head will already be separated from your body before you know it."
Feng Xian'er and Bing Huang shuddered at that, and they felt that it was too terrifying. Although life in the Seven Star Realm isn't easy either, it's at least not that brutal.
Suddenly, Xia Tian felt something inside the Ancient Sacred Realm, and he entered directly without saying anything to them.
"Huh!?" Both women were really shocked to see Xia Tian disappear like that.
"Do you know where he went, Elder Feng?"
"I don't know Xia Tian very well, so I don't know where he went." Feng Xian'er thought for a moment before speaking again. "If my guess is correct, I think he has a secret realm, that's why he can disappear instantly."
"Secret realm?"
"Yes, I read in an ancient scroll before, that there are cultivators who possess a secret realm, and only those permitted by the owner can enter it, so I think Xia Tian also has one."
"I see." Bing Huang nodded in understanding. "Despite the fact that Xia Tian is a reincarnator, I feel that he is more mysterious than that."
"You are absolutely right; Xia Tian is like a bottomless pit, so it is not easy for us to understand him."

Ancient Sacred Realm
"Phew!" Qiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She then took out the five pills from the furnace and smiled in satisfaction.
"How is it, Xiao'er? Have you successfully concocted it yet?" Xia Tian asked as he walked up to her.
"Hey, I'm the only Alchemist God; if I can't successfully concoct it, then I should give up my title and retire." Qiao Xiao said with a proud smile, and she then passed the five pills to him. "Since my ingredients aren't that many, so I can only concoct five pills, but I will concoct them again after I return to my realm."
"Heh, if you retire now, then those people will be miserable, especially that idiot king." Xia Tian said, and he smiled, looking at the five superior-grade pills.
Qiao Xiao immediately stood up and cleaned up the place, then she quickly stored the remaining herbs. "Anyway, I have to go back now; that stupid king will soon send his envoy to pick up the pills he ordered. If his envoy doesn't find me in my realm, he will definitely panic and look for me everywhere."
"Alright." After Qiao Xiao left, Xia Tian immediately approached Nath the shadow spider, and gave her a beast growth pill. "You can swallow it; that way you will become even stronger, and you will be of great help to Little Qi in the future."
"Yes, Master." Nath answered and immediately swallowed the pill.
"Anyway, when can you turn into a human?"
"According to the memories of my bloodline, I must reach the soul condensation realm first, Master."
Xia Tian nodded in understanding; although Nath's cultivation was very slow compared to Yue's, mainly because she was just an ordinary beast, he was satisfied with her progress. After she had cultivated in the Ancient Sacred Realm for a long time, her cultivation had already reached the 5th Stage Core Formation Realm. "You can continue your cultivation."
"Yes, Master."
After that, Xia Tian contacted Murong Mengxin, and he asked her to take Dongfang Xinyue with her, because she wanted to give a beast growth pill to Jin Ye.
Before long, Murong Mengxin had already entered, but Xia Tian frowned upon seeing Dongfang Xinyue's condition, because she was under her control. "Why are you controlling her, Mengxin?"
Murong Mengxin sighed softly and explained it to him. "The deaths of her parents hit her hard, so she had a mental breakdown, and these few days she has been completely like a living corpse, so I was forced to control her. Otherwise, she will die before her task is completed."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding, then summoned Jin Ye out of Dongfang Xinyue's body, and after she swallowed the beast growth pill, she immediately entered her body again. "So what are you going to do with her now?"
"Hmm?" Murong Mengxin thought a few plans in her mind first, and she then replied. "Since she's broken like this, how about we let your clone dual cultivate with her? That way, Jin Ye can develop faster."
"But what about your sect's people then? They will definitely be looking for her if she just disappears."
"Let me take care of them. Dugu Yan has complete trust in me, so I'm sure she won't doubt me."
"Alright, just let her stay inside here, and you can take care of them." Xia Tian agreed unhesitatingly with Murong Mengxin's idea, since Dongfang Xinyue was already like that, so he had no intention of dual cultivating with her anymore.
Moreover, sooner or later Dongfang Xinyue would also meet her death, once Jin Ye had completely absorbed his life energy, so it would not matter if his clone also used her as a dual cultivation furnace.
After they chatted for a while, Xia Tian immediately returned to the flying artifact, and Murong Mengxin returned to her sect.

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
