Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Passage of Time

After Cultivating for about four hours, Ye Xi felt a sense of mental exhaustion.

Her eyes slowly opened. After stretching her body, Ye Xi lay down on the soft and comfortable bed and fell into a deep sleep.

...

Sometimes, time is like flowing water, never to return.

In the blink of an eye, three years had quietly passed, and Ye Xi was now nine years old.

During these three years, Ye Xi's life was very regular: every morning, she exercised with the Second Offering Golden Crocodile; in the morning, she learned strategies with the Third Offering Qingluan; in the afternoon, she underwent combat training with the four Offerings; and in the evening, she took medicinal baths and Meditated to Cultivate.

Now, at nine years old, Ye Xi's spirit power had reached Spirit Grandmaster, level twenty-four.

Her second spirit ring came from a Soul Devouring Golden Eagle that was around a thousand years old.

Second Spirit Ability: Soul Devouring Gaze — Forming eyes with spirit power to gaze at the opponent. The person being gazed at will have all their attributes reduced by thirty percent, while the user's own attributes are increased by fifty percent.

Morning.

Ye Xi, dressed in a silver palace gown, left her room early and headed towards the main hall of the Hall of Offerings.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Ye Xi bowed to the six Offerings of the Hall of Offerings, thanking them for their guidance over the past three years, and then went straight to Qian Daoliu.

"Grandpa, I want to go out and train on the continent."

Ye Xi's azure blue eyes were filled with determination, and her tone was more serious than ever before.

"Train on the continent?"

"That's fine, but if you're alone, Grandpa is a bit worried."

"Later, Grandpa will take you to the Elder Palace and have an Elder accompany you to protect your safety."

Qian Daoliu stroked Ye Xi's hair, his tone filled with relief.

During these three years, he, Qian Daoliu, had witnessed Ye Xi's growth.

In fact, it could be said that within just three short years, the other few Offerings had nothing left to teach her.

Whether it was combat experience, combat techniques, or strategies, Ye Xi had already learned almost everything.

Therefore, Qian Daoliu was very satisfied with Ye Xi.

"Grandpa, besides an Elder from the Elder Palace, I also want one more person to come with me."

Ye Xi thought for a moment, then said seriously.

"Ye Xi, who do you want?"

Qian Daoliu asked with interest.

"Yang Wushuang from the Supreme Pontiff Palace."

Ye Xi's tone was very firm.

"Yang Wushuang?"

Hearing this name, Qian Daoliu thought carefully and realized he still had some impression of him.

Yang Wushuang, an eighty-first level Spirit Douluo, currently working for Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

"Alright."

Qian Daoliu said, taking out a token with a Seraphim pattern. After handing the token to Ye Xi, he softly said, "When the time comes, you can take this token and directly go to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to request someone."

Ye Xi took the token, a smile appearing on her face.

This token was called the angel token, unique to the Hall of Offerings.

The purpose of the angel token was that the person holding it had a status equivalent to an Offering of the Hall of Offerings. Although on the surface, the angel token was not as well-known as the Supreme Pontiff Token of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, the angel token was much more useful than the Supreme Pontiff Token.

After all, the Supreme Pontiff Palace was only the nominal highest authority of the Spirit Hall, while the actual center of power was in the Hall of Offerings and the Elder Palace.

In fact, as long as a vote passed, the Hall of Offerings and the Elder Palace could even change the Supreme Pontiff candidate.

"Ye Xi, if you're going out to train, why not take Tian Yue with you?"

"You two are about the same age, and you'll have company on the journey."

Golden Crocodile pointed to Tian Yue, who was standing beside him, and looked at Ye Xi with a smile.

"Alright."

"I just don't know if Sister Tian Yue is willing."

Ye Xi smiled and looked at Tian Yue.

After three years of getting along, Tian Yue could be said to be her only good friend.

"Of course, I'm willing."

Tian Yue directly came in front of Ye Xi, a brilliant smile on her delicate face.

"Tian Yue, you must remember, during the training process, listen more to Ye Xi."

Golden Crocodile looked at Tian Yue's happy expression and earnestly instructed her.

"Grandpa, don't worry."

"When the time comes, I will definitely protect Second Miss."

Tian Yue patted her chest, her tone full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile just smiled and said nothing.

He, Golden Crocodile, was very clear about the strength of Ye Xi and Tian Yue.

Although Ye Xi was currently a twenty-fourth level Spirit Grandmaster, if they were to truly fight, Ye Xi could defeat most Spirit Ancestors around level forty.

While Tian Yue's spirit power was the same as Ye Xi's, her true strength was only top-tier among those of the same level.

If something really happened, it was uncertain who would protect whom.

"Alright, I'll take you to the Elder now."

Qian Daoliu rose from his seat and walked directly towards the Elder Palace.

Ye Xi and Tian Yue followed behind Qian Daoliu.

Upon arriving at the Elder Palace, Qian Daoliu led Ye Xi and Tian Yue to a woman around thirty years old.

"This is Elder Ling Yuan."

"Her Spirit is Blazing Spirit Kite, a ninety-second level attack system Titled Douluo."

Qian Daoliu pointed to Ling Yuan, introducing her to Ye Xi and Tian Yue.

"Elder Ling Yuan."

Ye Xi and Tian Yue both called out to Ling Yuan.

"Second Miss."

"Young Miss Tian Yue."

Ling Yuan responded.

"Ling Yuan, Ye Xi and Tian Yue are going out to train. You go with them and be responsible for protecting their safety."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ling Yuan and said calmly.

"High Priest, please rest assured."

"With your subordinate present, Second Miss and Tian Yue's safety is guaranteed."

Ling Yuan bowed to Qian Daoliu, her voice filled with seriousness.

"Mm."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, motioning for Ling Yuan to stand up, then looked at Ye Xi.

"Ye Xi, when are you planning to depart?"

Qian Daoliu asked softly.

"Grandpa, I plan to depart at noon."

Ye Xi answered very straightforwardly.

"Mm."

"Ye Xi, you must remember, during the training process, if any older generation person shamelessly attacks you, just let Ling Yuan teach them a lesson."

"If Ling Yuan can't win, send a message to Grandpa, and Grandpa will come with the Angelic Sacred Sword to reason with them."

Qian Daoliu said very seriously, his tone full of solemnity.

"Grandpa, I understand."

A smile bloomed on Ye Xi's delicate face.

How could she not be happy with such a grandpa?

However, Ye Xi felt that if Qian Daoliu really came with the Angelic Sacred Sword, what he would be teaching would not be reason, but rather what was called 'physical' reason.

After all, among all the Spirit Masters on the entire continent, there were currently definitely no more than three who could truly contend with Qian Daoliu.

"Alright, then you two go prepare."

Qian Daoliu patted Ye Xi's shoulder, then walked towards the Hall of Offerings.
