After planting the Vitality Root within the Ancient Sacred Realm, Xia Tian went to his clone's location, but he was still contemplating whether to withdraw his clone or not.
[What are you thinking again, master? Don't you want to go to the Holy Central Continent? If you wish to go there soon, then you must break through to the Heaven Origin Realm first.]
Xia Tian sighed softly and pulled back his clone directly, and the clone immediately entered his body, causing the energy within his body to surge drastically, and several notifications successively appeared in his mind.
[Your cultivation broke through to 6th Stage Earth Origin Realm]
[Your cultivation broke through to 7th Stage Earth Origin Realm]
[Your cultivation broke through to 8th Stage Earth Origin Realm]
[Your cultivation broke through to 9th Stage Earth Origin Realm]
[Your cultivation broke through to 10th Stage Earth Origin Realm]
[Your cultivation broke through to 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm]
As Alice calculated before, Xia Tian's cultivation stopped breaking through after reaching the 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm and immediately sat cross-legged. "How much more energy do I need to break through to the 2nd stage, Alice?"
[Wait for a second, master.]
===
Cultivation:
> 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm: 6,500,000/7,500,000
- Yang Energy: 3,500,000/45,000,000
- Yin Energy: 3,000,000/45,000,000

"Damn it! The amount of energy I need to break through is getting bigger and bigger!" Xia Tian cursed after he read that. "At this rate, I need at least another 9 million energy to break through to the Ancestor Origin Realm, right?"
[Hmm? I think you need more energy, but I can't calculate the exact amount for now.]
"If only I could increase the number of my clones, then my cultivation would increase even faster." Xia Tian spoke with a bitter smile.
[Unfortunately, you don't have any other clone technique, unless you go to your old friend and ask for his clone technique.]
"Sigh! I will go see him in the future." Xia Tian sighed heavily and used his clone technique again.
[When are you going to the Holy Central Continent, master?]
"Hmm? For now, I will stabilize my cultivation and fight that Fire Serpent Guardian first. That way, I can clear the second floor of Nine Heaven Pagoda." Xia Tian and his clone then closed their eyes and started stabilizing their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Shui Liuli was sitting opposite her half-sister, and she looked surprised after she listened to her story. "Is it true that you will leave the sect and return to our kingdom to get married?"
"Yes." Shui Yan nodded to her. "During these three months, our relationship has become very close, and our father has also agreed to his proposal to me. However, since our father will soon inherit Zhu Yuhe's position as the Emperor of this southern continent, we will only marry after Father ascend the throne."
"I see." Shui Liuli nodded in understanding, and she took her hand. "Congratulations Sister Yan! I thought you fell in love with Tian, but now you'll marry another man."
Shui Yan was stunned for a moment hearing that. "Actually, I was attracted to Xia Tian when he gave those pills to me, but I know that he never liked me, and we rarely saw each other. That's why I decided to give that man a chance when he approached me, especially since I also feel attracted to him."
"That's good." Shui Liuli replied with a nod; she herself knew that Xia Tian had never really been attracted to her half-sister, mainly because her first impression was awful in his eyes. "So when are you coming back to our kingdom?"
"Father is coming here today to pick me up." Shui Yan then asked her. "Do you want to come home with us? I'm sure Aunt Xinruo misses you a lot."
"Yes! I will go home with you; I miss my mother too." Shui Liuli then contacted Xia Tian, but she couldn't contact him because he was still in the Ancient Sacred Realm, so she contacted Mo Xiaoqi and left a message for him.
"Great!" Shui Yan exclaimed with joy. After all, they were sisters, so she hoped that Shui Liuli would attend her wedding later.

Meanwhile, three women were gathered in a room: Yao Yin, Zhao Ying, and Liu Meng'er.
"Why are you two like this?" Yao Yin asked them in confusion. When she returned to the building she was living in, they immediately pulled her into the room, and their expressions were utterly grave.
Zhao Ying sighed softly and asked back. "Are you going to stay in the sect, Sister Yin? During these three months, the sect's situation was completely chaotic due to the new rules made by Sect Master Liu, and many of our friends have already left the sect because of that."
"Ha ha." Yao Yin laughed softly at that, and she then said to them. "Since I've lived here since I was young, I'll be staying here in the future. Moreover, my mother and the others have successfully snatched the sect master's token from Liu Tao, and they agreed that Elder Situ will be the next Sect Master, so I'm sure the situation in our sect will stabilize again soon."
"Eh?" They were surprised to hear that because Situ Meiqi and the others still hadn't announced it.
"Is that true, Sister Yin? They have already managed to snatch the sect master's token from my uncle?" Liu Meng'er asked in surprise, but she was also relieved to hear that because Liu Tao had indeed gone too far.
Yao Yin nodded to her. "That's true; my mother just told me about it via voice transmission. Elder Situ and the others are preparing everything and will soon be announcing their decision."
"In that case, I will contact our other friends and ask them to return to the sect, or else this sect will be very deserted." Zhao Ying said excitedly, and she then asked her. "Anyway, where did you go these three months? I heard you went with Xia Tian; Elder Yao and Elder Feng also went with you all."
"Sorry, I can't tell you about that." Yao Yin replied with an apologetic look. After all, Zhao Ying and Liu Meng'er did not know about the other realms, nor did she ask Xia Tian for permission to tell others either. "Anyway, we went to a very far place and trained for a very long time there."
"Has your cultivation broken through again, Sister Yin?" Liu Meng'er asked curiously. "Back then, our cultivations are only one minor step apart, but I now feel that you have become much stronger than me."
Yao Yin smiled and answered her. "My cultivation has reached the 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm now."
"Huh?" Zhao Ying gasped in shock. "How did your cultivation increase so quickly, Sister Yin? As I recall, three months ago, your cultivation was still at the 8th Stage of the Earth Origin Realm, but you have reached the 1st Stage of the Heaven Origin Realm quickly."
Yao Yin was at a loss to explain it to them, but her cultivation was able to increase rapidly, thanks to Xia Tian. Back then, he gave her some pills, which were highly beneficial to her cultivation. In addition, she had also been intimate with him several times, and his Yang Energy had driven her cultivation to increase even faster.
Liu Meng'er raised her eyebrows at Yao Yin's expression, and she asked in a suspicious tone. "Has your cultivation increased this fast because of Xia Tian? Have you also become his woman?"
"No." Yao Yin shook her head. "My cultivation has risen this fast thanks to Xia Tian, but I am not his woman; he is only helping me cultivate."
"How did he help you to increase your cultivation?" Zhao Ying also asked her suspiciously. "As I recall, Xia Tian is a dual cultivator, and I think he can only help you if you dual cultivate with him."
While Yao Yin was at a loss to answer them, Mo Xiaoqi suddenly walked into the room with Mao Yao lying on her shoulder, and she said to them. "Sister Yin is indeed not Tian's woman, nor has she dual cultivated with him."
"Then how can Xia Tian help her?" Zhao Ying asked as she turned to Mo Xiaoqi.
Mo Xiaoqi approached her with a mysterious smile on her face, and she whispered to her. "Although Sister Yin hasn't dual cultivated with him, she has already swallowed his Yang Energy, which has increased her cultivation greatly."
"Xiaoqi!" Yao Yin shouted at her, and her face was red with embarrassment. She didn't expect Mo Xiaoqi to reveal such things to them.
Upon hearing that, Zhao Ying and Liu Meng'er looked at Yao Yin in shock; they couldn't believe she could do such a thing. Although they weren't dual cultivators, they certainly knew how a woman swallowed a man's Yang Energy, and they were utterly shocked by that.
Mo Xiaoqi giggled at their reactions, and she said to them again. "Sister Ying! Sister Meng'er! If you two want your cultivation to increase quickly, you can do it like Sister Yin."
