Chapter 331: Xiao Fei’s Epiphany
"Did you obtain any more abilities?" Tang Yin asked Xiao Fei after finishing his storm of thoughts.
"No. Divine Decay and Cursed Eye were the only 2 new abilities that I obtained. Other than this, I received some more knowledge regarding my race from my bloodline, and that’s about it." Xiao Fei shook her head.
"What knowledge?" Tang Yin asked curiously.
"It’s regarding mastery over my Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames and the next Disaster." Xiao Fei stated.
"The memories went into detail on how to efficiently control the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames separately and together. When together, the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames can create a larger power output compared to when one flame is attacking alone."
"Unfortunately, the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames cannot fuse together at the moment. At most, they can just work together to create more power and perfect unity."
"I will only be able to fuse the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames together when I face the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster. The Eternal Fate Flame Disaster will come after my next evolution, so I still have a lot of time."
Xiao Fei happily continued to talk about the memories she had received from her bloodline pertaining to the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames. She did not seem to be nervous or panicked about the concept of the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster arriving after her next evolution.
"After I received the knowledge and guidance regarding my 2 flames, my memories then told me about some stuff regarding the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster."
"According to my bloodline, every one of the Eternal Fate Ancient Phoenix Race must face the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster in order to ascend to Rank 9, or the Law Creation Realm as you humans call it."
"It isn’t really a Disaster like the Everlasting Heaven Flame Disaster, instead, it’s more like a breakthrough."
"If we take cultivators as an example, to advance to the Qi Transformation Realm, you must convert all your Qi to Spirit Qi, right?" Xiao Fei asked, but she didn’t really expect an answer as this was common knowledge.
Tang Yin merely nodded and gestured for her to continue.
"The Eternal Fate Flame Disaster is similar to cultivators in this sense. Instead of facing a bombardment of attacks, passing the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster will depend solely on my own abilities."
"I will need to fuse the Everlasting Heaven and Hell Flames in my body and create the Eternal Fate Flame to transcend the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster and reach Rank 9. I don’t know the specific method or process of the fusion, it will only be available to me after my next evolution."
"Like the Everlasting Heaven Flame Disaster, the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster will arrive at a fixed time, right before my ascension to Rank 9..." Xiao Fei continued to talk about the small details of the Eternal Fate Flame Disaster.
After a while, she finished sharing everything she had obtained and learned from her evolution with Tang Yin.
"Master, how long have I spent evolving?" Xiao Fei asked. She did not feel the concept of time during her slumber. For her, she had simply fallen asleep and woken up the next second.
"Around a year or so." Tang Yin calculated before stating the time.
"What’s the situation outside? And what is..." Xiao Fei asked and questioned Tang Yin about everything that had occurred in that 1-year time frame.
Tang Yin did not withhold anything, he told Xiao Fei everything. He started from when he had taken his first mission from the Neutral Cultivation Alliance and told her everything that led up to the current situation where he was cultivating inside the Hectic Chasm Holy Land.
After Tang Yin finished narrating his tale, Xiao Fei was astonished.
"Master is so smart and strong!" She flattered.
"Oh, you think so?" As he said this, he pulled Xiao Fei into his embrace. With a malicious grin, his demonic claws ’accidentally’ travelled all over her body.
....
"Master, you were too rough again! Can’t you be a bit gentler?" Xiao Fei pouted whilst she finished getting dressed again.
"Stop moaning. As a Demonic Beast with an even more powerful body than myself, you can easily handle my affection." Tang Yin nonchalantly brushed off Xiao Fei’s complaints.
After getting dressed, Tang Yin left the Abyss Firmament after giving Xiao Fei some instructions.
Since Xiao Fei had a high affinity for space, she was one of the best catalysts to help Tang Yin’s divine sense expand the Abyss Firmament.
Naturally, Xiao Fei couldn’t do this on her own. After all, the Abyss Firmament belonged solely to Tang Yin, no one else could control anything that happened in the Abyss Firmament without Tang Yin’s permission.
However, Tang Yin temporarily allocated some of the Abyss Firmament’s power to Xiao Fei. He lent her just enough power for her to integrate the stream of Space Principles from the Hectic Chasm Holy Land into the Abyss Firmament to expand its size.
Tang Yin trusted Xiao Fei. However, it was in his nature to keep everything at a distance. So, out of habit, he only gave Xiao Fei enough authority to integrate Space Principles into the Abyss Firmament to expand it.
It was nothing personal or a lack of trust. It was just a habit that he had honed over the years.
Xiao Fei also did not mind. She knew Tang Yin very well compared to anyone else in the world. She knew his personality and habits, so she knew why Tang Yin did not give her more authority in the Abyss Firmament.
Currently, the Abyss Firmament was 1,000 kilometres large in size. However, Tang Yin’s aim was at least 10,000 kilometres. And that was only the size. Tang Yin also wanted to reinforce the space of the Abyss Firmament to the point where it could withstand the might of numerous Rank 8 Demonic Beasts.
Xiao Fei happily followed Tang Yin’s divine sense and its instructions. As requested, Xiao Fei utilized her Space Principle Manipulation ability to redirect the Space Principles streaming in from the outside world to the edges of the Abyss Firmament, swiftly expanding it.
This was coupled with Tang Yin’s divine sense. Compared to before, the efficiency of the Abyss Firmament’s expansion had accelerated by over 3 fold.
At first, Xiao Fei made a few mistakes, and her Space Principle Manipulation ability was subpar. However, after spending a long time controlling the Space Principles according to Tang Yin’s instructions, she gradually gained a higher level of mastery over Space Principles.
As such, her mistakes gradually whittled down until she stopped making any and her ability to manipulate Space Principles steadily increased.
Not only did Xiao Fei increase her mastery, control and comprehension of her affinity related to space, but she also helped to expand the Abyss Firmament’s size. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Tang Yin and Xiao Fei both gained something out of this mutually beneficial action. Even if they didn’t, Xiao Fei still wouldn’t hesitate to help Tang Yin whenever she needed to. Even if she wasn’t willing to do this, Tang Yin could force her through their blood connection, after all, he controlled her life and death.
....
Silently, a year trickled by.
During this time, Tang Yin incessantly devoured Space Principles with the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
He only took a few breaks, which were spent in luxury with Xiao Fei. They did quite a bit of morally questionable stuff together.
But most of the year was spent devouring Space Principles, whilst Xiao Fei and a bit of Tang Yin’s divine sense focused on expanding the Abyss Firmament.
If Tang Yin had to do everything himself, the Abyss Firmament would have only expanded by another 1,000 kilometres. However, with Xiao Fei’s assistance, the enlargement was increased to an additional 3,000 kilometres.
Now, the Abyss Firmament was 4,000 kilometres large!
Most of the reason for the large increase in size was contributed by Xiao Fei. As she continued to manipulate the Space Principles and expand the Abyss Firmament’s size, her mastery over Space Principles increased to a point where she obtained an epiphany!
Now, Xiao Fei’s mastery over Space Principles had reached a point where even Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators could not keep up! Perhaps only a few within the Peak-stage of the Principle Manipulation Realm could match Xiao Fei’s mastery over a single Principle.
Due to her newfound mastery over Space Principles, Xiao Fei’s efficiency in redirecting the Space Principles to expand the Abyss Firmament increased twice-fold.
As a result, the supply of Space Principles from the outside world was finding it difficult to meet the demand inside the Abyss Firmament.
This made Tang Yin ponder. At this rate, he was practically wasting Xiao Fei’s newfound mastery over Space Principles. To fix this problem, he would need to increase the devourment of Space Principles!
However, currently, Tang Yin was still at the initial level of the Abyss Layer. If he descended any further, his body would burst apart, and his soul would be obliterated by the pressure of the Space Principles!
This only left one feasible and quick solution. Tang Yin had to advance his cultivation base!
