With the Sect Masters agreement that he would not spy on Zhu Yi, he could cultivate in the time bubble without worrying. Zhu Yi set up the time bubble and the array and began to cultivate. The time bubble affected time by ten times.
With ten times more Qi, Zhu Yi cultivated a hundred times faster than others.
When 200 years passed outside and 2,000 inside, Zhu Yi reached the 2nd level of the soul formation realm.
When 300 years passed in the outside world and 3,000 inside, Zhu Yu heard a knock on his door.
500 years had passed. It was time to fight Chaos Beasts. Zhu Yi stopped the time bubble and stood up.
Although his cultivation speed would seem slow for someone with unknown meridians, he could say anything to explain himself. Most likely, the sect master wouldn't end up asking questions.
Zhu Yi stepped outside and met the Sect Master. The Sect Master noticed his cultivation level, but didn't say anything. Everything would be better after fighting Chaos Beasts.
The Sect Master took out a giant sword. "We'll fly on this."
Zhu Yi nodded and stepped on the sword. They flew out of the Sect Master's residence and eventually flew above the Sword Sect.
All around, there were countless flying swords.
"The Sword Sect sends out every member to fight the Chaos Beasts every time."
Zhu Yi could guess why based on what he heard from Elder Chit.
The Sect Master held out his hand, and the now empty Sword Sect rumbled. It shrank and within a few seconds entered the Sect Master's sheath.
"Let's go." He said, his voice reaching everyone of the Sword Sect.
The flying swords of everyone in the sect suddenly glowed. They seemed to be connected by nearly invisible lines. As the sect master moved at an incredible speed, so did all of the other flying swords.
This was the reason that flying swords were the main method of transportation in the Sword Sect.
Zhu Yi could not comprehend his current speed on the Sect Masters sword, but he had gotten used to this.
Before he knew it, every member of the Sword Sect was in a large field. Similarly flying were other people away from the sword sect. There were many different colors and designs, but four colors stood out the most. Red, brown, blue, and green.
While all the other sects flew below, the members of the Sword Sect and the four elemental sects stood the highest.
Although the Sword Sect was not the only universal sect that had branches all around, only the sword sect had a branch in the four element gathering world.
There was no conversation at all in the surroundings. Everyone was silently waiting. Zhu Yi felt many gazes from both the Sword Sect and the other sects.
Still, nobody talked. After an entire day of waiting, the Sect master, the leaders of the four elemental sect, and a few others looked up.
"You're on your own. Elder Chit will make sure that you get your five at a time." The Sect Master said.
He flew up, leaving his flying sword behind. At the same time, a few others did as well. A few moments later, more and more people flew up.
In the end, the strongest people left on the planet were those at the void traversing realm.
Then, space cracked and Chaos Beasts began to pour out. Zhu Yi attacked five. Elder Chit was in space fighting and if he could fight five without an issue, then Elder Chit would not need to assist him.
Zhu Yi led five nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts away. The strongest here were soul formation realm Chaos Beasts. The void traversing realm cultivators were here to deal with them.
When they were far enough away from any others, Zhu Yi began to attack. There was no issue at all. Unless he was mobbed by thousands of self-destructing nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts, he would be completely fine. He only limited himself because Zhou Fan needed time to absorb the mist.
Five quickly died, and Zhu Yi meditated to recover. Zhou Fan absorbed the mist.
After five minutes, Zhu Yi saw five more nascent soul realm Chaos Beasts coming towards him, courtesy of Elder Chit.
Zhu Yi attacked and soon killed all five.
This time, as Zhou Fan absorbed the mist, he began to break through a recovery threshold.
Zhu Yi held his hand up. Elder Chit would not send any more. Regardless, he had done his share on the battlefield.
After a brief period of time, Zhu Yi felt a warm feeling.
Zhou Fan spoke. "You now have god rank meridians."
Zhu Yi was overjoyed. Still, he had a question.
"Wouldn't it make sense if God rank meridians were good enough for someone to reach the god realm? Why are they called God rank meridians?"
Zhu Yi's question was not unique. There was an extremely simple answer that all cultivators seemed to overlook.
"The person who named them had no idea what the future realms would be. He simply named the meridians something that sounded better than emperor. God was the next step."
Zhu Yi nodded. "The person who named them must have lived long ago."
"Indeed. He's commonly known as the Origin God. You'll learn about him in the future."
At mention of this, Zhu Yi looked at Zhou Fan. "I still can't tell how strong you were when you were alive. Even the Sect Master could not detect you. How strong were you exactly?"
Zhou Fan wasn't sure how to answer. He hadn't even named the realm he had reached at that time.
"You'll find out about that as well I assume."
When Zhu Yi saw a statue of the Origin God, he would understand. Zhu Yi nodded.
Since Zhou Fan was done, he decided to join the fight once again. More of the mist wouldn't hurt.
Since Elder Chit was no longer paying attention to him, Zhu Yi went to the main battlefield and attracted five more Nascent soul realm Chaos Beast towards him. After killing them, Zhou Fan absorbed the mist and the fight on the world was over.
In the sky, however, the fight was ongoing. It was hard to see it up there, but Zhu Yi saw flashes of light.
As he watched, someone approached him.
