Chapter 28

Four years passed in the blink of an eye, during these four years Itachi actively moved at Ling Yuefeng's behest, the orders given by Ling Yuefeng were simply about conquering some small towns, while at the same time putting someone from the sect to run the town.

On the surface there was almost no difference, but Itachi knew that in the long run, the Heavenly Sword Villa, would have enormous strength to take over the entire Blue Wind Empire without difficulty.

These four years also served for Itachi to prepare and strengthen himself, currently he was one step away from breaking through to the Emperor Profound Realm. All he needed now was to find a good place to cultivate and make steady progress, and that was precisely what he was doing.

Itachi decided not to break through at the Heavenly Sword Villa, this was because for the past few days he had been feeling that this breakthrough would be different from the last ones he had made, and since he didn't want to spoil his plans, he opted to go to a quieter place, to which Ling Yuefeng agreed without hesitation.

In fact, Ling Yuefeng had been helping him with everything he asked ever since Itachi told him that he would advance to the Emperor Profound Realm. Itachi even asked Ling Yuefeng to give him control over the Profound Stairs, something he agreed to without hesitation.

"That old man's trust in me is really something..." Itachi thought.

Flying in a relaxed manner, Itachi arrived in a huge forest that was located to the south of the Blue Wind Empire. Although it was in the southern region, it was still a long way from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, so Itachi didn't have to worry about attention being called in his direction.

"Time to move on..." He muttered.

Sitting down on the forest grass, he slowly closed his eyes as he began to move the Profound Energy from his body into his Universe. This was the way he was currently cultivating. All the Profound Energy he absorbed went straight into his Universe, and in return his Universe gave him extremely dense and pure Profound Energy.

Hours passed, and soon night came...

Itachi's eyes were still closed, so he couldn't see the phenomena that were happening due to his cultivation.

The stars in the sky were shining brightly as they began to speed across the sky at an extremely fast speed. The moon that was slowly shining began to emanate an aura that could be described as 'strange'.

All the specialists from the cultivation world, came out of their secluded cultivations as they looked up at the skies in awe. Some had bright eyes because they felt that this was an opportunity to finally advance to the long-dreamed-of Divine Realm.

Just the mere mention of the Divine Realm would move all the Sacred Grounds, so seeing an inexplicable phenomenon before their eyes, all the Sacred Grounds began to scatter in search of the one who was causing this phenomenon.

An endless search began throughout the continent, ancient specialists who were said to be dead slowly emerged, causing chaos in their sects and clans. Those cultivators who previously hid from the Sacred Grounds slowly began to emerge as well, even with the threat of being hunted down, they didn't want to miss this opportunity.

There were even rumors of a cultivator from almost ten thousand years ago showing up to check out this phenomenon, but no one could prove its existence, so they just treated it as a crazy rumor. After all, for a cultivator to live for ten thousand years, how strong does he need to be? It is common knowledge that only the Phoenix in the Phoenix Empire possesses ten thousand years.

Unaware of all these events, Itachi continued to cultivate calmly, he felt that the Profound Energy that was being generated by his Universe was slowly becoming purer and denser. His cultivation also began to show signs of advancement.

"Why am I not being able to break through?" He thought as he continued to absorb Profound Energy, this time he also began to draw the stars from the heavens to absorb their Energy.

Because his cultivation was much higher, the amount of Energy he could absorb from the Stars was much higher which accelerated the process of his cultivation.

Looking at the universe inside his body, he realized that there were thousands of stars inside him, and they were all forming a bright spiral.

"Galaxy..." He muttered.

At the center of the Galaxy that had formed was a huge black hole that slowly began to devour the stars that were entering its event horizon. This scene made Itachi shocked, because the Black Hole never seemed to be satisfied, and with each Star that it devoured it became larger.

His worries were soon ceased, that's because there were no more stars entering the Event Horizon of the black hole, and there were only a few hundred stars stably orbiting the black hole.

"Looks like it's over... It wasn't all bad, the universe inside my body seems more alive than ever, besides, now I have this galaxy with a black hole at the center..." He thought.

But looking at his cultivation, he realized that he hadn't advanced yet, he was still stuck in the Profound Sky Realm.

"What's happening?"

Itachi was confused, he thought he had done everything right, then how come he still hadn't entered the Emperor Profound Realm? Something was definitely going on. Looking inside his body, he realized that 'it' sleeping next to his soul seemed to be calling him.

"What are you?" Itachi thought.

And just as he brought his consciousness closer to his soul, he eventually passed out....

The phenomena that were occurring all over the continent seemed to have suddenly ceased, making all the specialists sigh with excitement. They felt that they were overdue and that someone had already taken the treasure, or even made the breakthrough to the Divine Realm.

"It looks like the continent will completely change this time..." An specialists who was at the top of the continent said quietly. His old body seemed to be falling apart, but his eyes showed endless vitality.
