Chapter 1026: If I, Old Sun, say you can become stronger, then you can (Second Update!)
After coaxing gently for a while, the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing finally smiled through her tears. She snuggled her head into Sun Wukong's arms once more, then lifted her head to tell Sun Wukong about the situation in the Three Realms.
After Sun Wukong and others successively ascended, the Three Realms also fell into a bottleneck development period. Although there were quite a few experts among the Myriad Races with Quasi-Saint cultivation and above, those who truly proved the Tao and became Saints or even reached the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Golden Immortal or Primordial Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal, equivalent to the Yuan Soldier Realm, were exceedingly rare. In fact, after the Guiding Daoist ascended, no one had reached the Yuan Soldier Realm anymore, at best achieving the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Most of the experts from the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court ascended, and their absolute control over the Three Realms was gradually diminishing. However, the purpose of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court's existence was not to have absolute control over the Three Realms like the original Human Race Heavenly Court. It was enough to ensure the interests of the Demon Clan among the Myriad Races. Although they could not completely control the entire Three Realms, the leading position of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court was unshakable.
A year ago, the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court suddenly received a message from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor transmitted from the Yuan Realm, notifying them that in a year, a new passage between the Two Realms could be opened. All the experts of Quasi-Saint cultivation and above from the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court could travel to the Yuan Realm through the Two Realms passage, which would allow their powers to be enhanced faster and better.
When the message was received, the entire congregation of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court fell into ecstasy, as leaving the Three Realms to venture into a higher realm like the Yuan Realm was the dream of countless experts. However, becoming a Primordial Taiji Da Luo Golden Immortal or a Primordial Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal was not easily achieved. Otherwise, in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Three Realms, there wouldn't have been so few people who reached such heights, even after the massive changes in the Heavenly Dao Laws following the third world-destroying catastrophe. Not everyone could step over that threshold into the Yuan Soldier Realm.
But the Quasi-Saint Realm was different. With the resources of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, if cultivated with full effort and given enough time, even a pig could be pushed to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
For example, the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing, who was only at the Late Stage of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm a year ago. After receiving the cross-realm transmission from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, she immediately worked hard and under the massive resource cultivation of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, reached the Early Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm in just a year, meeting the minimum requirement for the new Two Realms passage.
If the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing could achieve this, then naturally it goes without mentioning about other experts of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, such as the Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang and the Chaos Demon King Sun Tong, who all became Heavenly Dao Saints by proving the Tao and becoming Saints, only unable to further progress to the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Golden Immortal.
"With so many people reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm, why are you the only one here?"
Sun Wukong was quite puzzled. According to the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing, there were over fifty experts above the Quasi-Saint Realm in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court of the current Three Realms. Yet now, only Sun Xiaoqing was the one who passed through the Two Realms passage to the Yuan Realm. Was there some unforeseen change?
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong's expression suddenly darkened.
"Big brother, what are you thinking? There's nothing wrong, no problem at all!"
The little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing saw Sun Wukong's expression and immediately knew he was overthinking it, giving him a knowing smile.
"Then what is it?"
Sun Wukong was even more confused, if there were no problems, then what about the others?
"Sister Zi Xia is arranging things! We, the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, cannot have all the Quasi-Saint-level experts arrive in the Yuan Realm, right? The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court of the Three Realms also needs strong individuals to hold the fort! Sister Zi Xia is instructing some strong individuals to remain behind and continue guarding the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, so that there will continuously be congregation members ascending from the Three Realms through the Two Realms passage!"
The words of the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing made Sun Wukong slap his head. Hey! He was concerned to the point of being confused, failing to see such a simple reasoning clearly!
"Right, right, it makes sense what your Sister Zi Xia arranged!"
Sun Wukong's face returned to a smile, "Qing'er, did your Sister Zi Xia mention when she and the others will be passing through the passage?"
"It should be tomorrow, right?"
"Tomorrow? That long?"
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, but then had no choice but to accept it. Arranging for all the stay-behinds of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court wasn't that simple, Sun Wukong himself was used to being an idle shopkeeper and didn't think it was a big deal.
No choice but to be patient and wait.
"Big brother, where are the others? Are they alright?"
The little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing's eyes rolled around as she asked.
Sun Wukong chuckled: "You just want to ask if Leng Xuan is okay, right? He got slightly injured and is recovering over there."
"Huh? Injured!"
The little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing panicked and struggled out of Sun Wukong's arms, intending to soar towards the Heavenly Emperor's throne. As soon as she leapt, she screamed in surprise and fell.
Fortunately, Sun Wukong had been paying attention and caught her.
Sun Wukong gave Sun Xiaoqing a speechless glance: "You are grown up yet still so rash! This is the Yuan Realm, the gravity here is much greater than the Three Realms, and there is a restriction on flying in this Heavenly Que Realm. You dare to act rashly without knowing anything!"
"But, but I've already become a Quasi-Saint…"
The little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing was dissatisfied, her face full of surprise. She had become a Quasi-Saint and yet, she couldn't even fly here?
Moreover, she realized only when Sun Wukong mentioned that the gravity here was indeed very great, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it very uncomfortable.
"What's the big deal about Quasi-Saint? Heavenly Dao Saints don't even stand out here!"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, giving Sun Xiaoqing a brief explanation of the cultivation level divisions in the Yuan Realm, leaving Sun Xiaoqing looking dejected. She had thought that reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm would make Sun Wukong view her in a new light in the Yuan Realm, but unexpectedly Quasi-Saints are not even significant here, not even reaching the lowest level!
This is such a blow!
"Come on, don't feel that down, Leng Xuan and the others were all at the bottom when they first arrived, and now they have all reached the Domain King Realm! The Yuan Realm doesn't have the restrictions like the Three Realms, and cultivation resources are much better. Work hard, big brother believes you'll soon grow stronger!"
"Really?"
Sun Wukong's words made the eyes of the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing shine again, "Can I really get stronger?"
"Of course! You're my little sister! If I say you can get stronger, you will absolutely get stronger!"
Sun Wukong responded decisively, filled with strong confidence, currently being the master of this Heavenly Que Realm, he had plenty of cultivation resources. The little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing's natural talents weren't bad either. It's just that she had been too playful in the past, or she wouldn't have reached the Quasi-Saint level only now.
With the resources Sun Wukong had at his disposal, if he couldn't even cultivate the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing and Zi Xia Fairy, what kind of master of this Heavenly Que Realm would he be?
