Chapter 53: calm before the storm.

Tian smiled upon seeing the situation; he knew Mu Chen had somehow managed to survive the tribulations and had now advanced to the celestial realm; moreover, he was in the middle of enlightenment.

So Tian was disturbed, so he decided to wait for him. He stepped forward, and immediately all his shadow warriors appeared in front of him. "We greet the Lord", they all said in unison while they were on their knees; even Arthur and the likes were not excluded.

Tian spread his spiritual sense to study the group, and he noticed that each of them was advancing too fast; moreover, the more ways he comprehended, the more ways they were able to wield.

He informed them to go back to the real world and prepare themselves for the final battle that will occur later, once the true treasure land opens, and it is at that time that there will be an eruption of devil energy and faith energy, which is the main treasure of this land and why it is called God's secret realm, and he wants his shadow warrior to absorb as much devil energy as they absorb.

with the hope that the awakened ones will be able to undergo their second evolution, while the Arthur group will be able to become much stronger.

Tian knew he couldn't absorb any of this energy, so he didn't bother about himself, as he had plans to enter his soul realm to push his cultivation to its peak before going to the core zone of this place.

Although in this world, the demonic or devil energy is known to be weak against the thunder energy and God's energy, which has the affinity of light, That is why the demons and devil cultivators will use the faith energy of the gods to temper their devil energy and foundation to become stronger and more resilient against any form of light, and this must be done before they breakthrough into the celestial realm.

which is the reason all the demonic empires will send their heavenly geniuses to this realm, where faith energy erupts every 1,000 years. Which will make every genius stronger and have solid foundations for the next realm, which is the immortal realm. A realm where their true talents will be awakened.

But Tian was different. First, he was cursed to not be able to absorb any form of energy from heaven and earth. Although he could absorb the faith energy since it's not an energy from heaven and earth but rather an energy produced from the faith and worship of some people,

However, Tian did not understand why he felt disgust toward this form of energy; except for chaos energy, destruction energy, creation energy, and dragon energy, Tian did not value any other form of energy.

Tian looked at Mu Chen, and he was a little bit worried for him because he had broken through to the celestial realm before the eruption, but he knew Mu Chen was not a fool, so there must have been a reason he didn't hold back his cultivation till the eruption.

He decided to wait for Mu Chen to finish his comprehension before asking him about the issues, and as he was waiting, his body was healing automatically. His cultivation life is not as hard as other people's because they have to level up their comprehension to some stage before they can breakthrough.

He has a chaotic soul, which helps him with comprehension; he has a body that automatically absorbs energy to temper his body; and, of course, except the energy produced by heaven and earth,

There are multiple energies in the world: chaos energy, pure primal energy, dragon energy, void energy, faith energy, devil energy, netherworld energy, ghost energy, underworld energy, and so on. But all these energies have the blessing of the heavenly Dao. But Tian was only cursed by the pure primal energy, since this energy is the purest form of heavenly energy and is also the foundation of every other energy.

Also, this energy is present in any other form of energy, but Tian was lucky because, with the runes on his body, as long as he encounters any other form of energy, the runes will filter away the pure primal energy from it and absorb the rest. Even though it will reduce the effect of the energy, it doesn't matter much to Tian since he could collect multiple forms of energy to temper his body.

But as for other experts, this is something they can't achieve; an expert who cultivates demonic energy will not be able to absorb nether energy or underworld energy. And if such an expert goes to another world, he or she will be suppressed by the laws of that world because of the energy.

But Tian was different, as he can shine brightly in any world. After waiting for thirty minutes, Mu Chen opened his eyes. He was happy to see Tian in front of him, so he smiled.

"Brother, thanks for having my back; I don't know how to thank you for this". Mu Chen said with his deep voice

"What nonsense are you talking about? What are brothers for? If I can't have your back, then why call me brother". Tian replied with a smile; the aura around him was now peaceful and comfortable. If anyone sees Tian now, they will be so surprised because he doesn't look like the destruction devil he was known for.

"True, I guess there is no need for the formalities, but I will keep this gratitude in my heart".

"Good, but tell me, Mu Chen, why did you breakthrough into the next realm without tempering your foundation first?". Tian asked with great curiosity on his face.

Upon seeing the worries and concern on Tian's face, Mu Chen smiled before he explained. "Brother Tian, when I was absorbing the expert of my race inheritance, I received a message that told me not to bother about the faith energy, but I could use it to temper my body further. I was confused when I received the message, so I asked the expert why." Mu Chen paused a little before he continued.

"The expert told me that the faith energy was always gathered by the shading means of some people during the Gods era. He explained to me that they will force people to follow them and worship them with their lives in order to gather their faith energy. There are some devils who also follow this path of gathering faith energy to push their power to another realm, but it is still a disgusting path that some people look down on since this power doesn't naturally belong to them".

Hearing this, Tian was speechless, and he thought, "No wonder I felt disgust towards that form of energy".

"Yes, brother Tian, the expert told me that true energy comes from within oneself; all external energy or power cannot take one to the peak of the Dao". Mu Chen explained.

"True, true, true." Tian said, but he was curious upon hearing the peak of Dao from the message Mu Chen got again, which caused this conflict with what he learned from Battle God Cheng. He sighs and stops pondering about it, then invites Mu Chen to come with him inside the soul world so he can take his time to consolidate his cultivation base while Tian tries his best to reach the peak of the realm.

When they got inside, Mu Chen went to the mountain of multiple ways of energy in order to comprehend his concept more and also absorb the devil's energy there to consolidate his realm. While Tian walked directly to the castle to play a little with his maid.

When he got inside, he did not find both Bao'er and Lingyi anywhere, so he spread his senses and noticed their presence in the ice-fire pool, and he immediately undressed himself, leaving only underwear on, before walking toward the pool.

Upon seeing Tian walk in with his manly, well-developed physique, they both blushed, even though this is not the first time they've bathed together with Tian. Every time they see his naked body, he is always like a glittering diamond to them.

Tian walked inside. He walked to the middle of the pool, where both cold and warm mixed perfectly. He laid his head on the edge while his back was turned towards both girls, and immediately they knew what to do.

Both girls swim toward Tian's back naked, as expected, and they start washing his back and giving him a lovely massage with their breasts. After thirty minutes of a lovely and relaxing bath, Tian and his maids walked out of the pool.

He spent some time playing and joking with them, and he asked about their improvement in cultivation. Both ladies are in the peak divine realm and ready to breakthrough to the celestial realm, but Tian told them to go to the energy dan pool in his soul world alchemy section to temper their foundation further to the flawless stage before they breakthrough, and he told them to take their time and also not delay much so they can undergo their tribulations together in the secret realm outside.
