Chapter 131: Celestial Vision

The four men in black entered the hall, where an old man with white beard was playing chess with an old man with black hair.

The white-bearded old man signaled the four men in black to wait a moment.

Because their game was at a critical moment, he was unwilling to give up this game.

The four men in black were not in a hurry and just watched from the side. However, they just watched and did not dare to say much.

The four men in black waited for a full hour before the two chess players finally decided the winner.

In the end, the old man with white beard won.

So the old man with white beard was in a good mood.

"Come on, your Uncle Hao is not an outsider either," said the white-bearded old man.

"Okay, Grandpa. We didn't encounter any danger this time we went out."

"For some reason, that Supreme Being has been very low-key recently. So we are unable to track down any trace of him." said a man in black.

"The Supreme is so powerful that we have no choice but to find out his true strengths and weaknesses from many sources. There was no sign of the annihilation of the Church of Light before."

"We have no choice but to move our entire family to this city in the sky."

“Although there is everything here, I always feel that the items produced in those specialized places are not as authentic. That’s why you need to go to that human world regularly to purchase some items.” said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, that's natural. Every profession has its own expertise. The same goes for everything in this world. They may seem the same, but in fact, there are still some differences." said a man in black.

"Lü Cheng, it's good that you understand this principle. It's not a bad thing for you guys to go out more often. You can see the current situation of the martial arts world and verify your own strength." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, there have been some small changes in the places we visited recently." Lu Cheng said.

"Tell me about any changes," said the white-bearded old man.

"There are two more independent spaces in the Pufa Temple. Practicing in those spaces can be accelerated 10 times!"

"In fact, there should be four sets, but for some reason, the first two sets were stolen. Later, Pufa Temple asked the Formation Alliance to rebuild two sets." Lu Cheng said.

"Those people are really amazing. We were the first to successfully build the independent space. But after we succeeded, we immediately came to this city in the sky."

"Logically, they shouldn't be able to create an independent space, but they still succeeded in doing so, which shows that they are quite smart. There are really a lot of smart people in this world." said the white-bearded old man.

"Does that mean those people will catch up with us soon?" Lu Cheng asked.

"How can it be that easy? We have many independent spaces with the same functions as theirs. We have been using them for a long time, but they have just started using them. How can they catch up with us so quickly?" said the white-bearded old man.

"In fact, this independent space can accelerate cultivation at a higher multiple, but the cost-effectiveness is not very high, so we did not build an independent space with a higher multiple." The white-bearded old man continued.

"Grandpa, isn't it true that the more multiples the better?" Lu Cheng asked in confusion.

"As the number of independent spaces increases, the spiritual stones consumed are also very huge, so when the number reaches a high level, we have to consider the cost-effectiveness."

"After comprehensive consideration, we found that ten times is the best cost-effectiveness, so we chose to create an independent space with ten times acceleration." said the white-bearded old man.

"Then if there are enough spirit stones, wouldn't it be better if the multiple is higher?" Lu Cheng was still a little puzzled and raised this possibility.

"The spiritual stones consumed by speeding up 11 times are 10 times that of speeding up 10 times. Do you think this consumption rate is acceptable?"

"The spiritual stones consumed by speeding up 12 times are 10 times that of speeding up 100 times. Who's spiritual stones are picked up for free and can withstand such consumption?" said the white-bearded old man.

"That's indeed a bit unfriendly," Lu Cheng replied.

"Each of you has this independent space. In this world, only very few people have such cultivation conditions. Therefore, your cultivation realm should be quite high, which is unimaginable to those people."

“It’s just that it seems that not many of you are doing your best to utilize this independent space. This makes me a little angry.” said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, it's not that we don't want to try our best to use the independent space for cultivation, but we are indeed troubled by something and there is nothing we can do." Lu Cheng explained.

"So what realm have you reached now?" asked the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, our realms are not much different. I am at the ninth level of the middle Earth Realm, and they are all at the eighth level of the middle Earth Realm." Lu Cheng replied.

"You are all twenty years old. Is this realm considered high?" said the white-bearded old man.

"It's not bad. From what I've seen from the people at Pufa Temple, the twenty-year-old guys are probably at the third level of the initial stage of the Earth Realm." Lu Cheng replied.

"So, you still have some sense of superiority, right?" said the white-bearded old man.

"That's not the case. We think that considering we have so many things to do in our daily lives, our current state is pretty good." Lu Cheng said.

“Then do you know what realm Supreme Qiao was at when he was your age?” said the white-bearded old man.

"What realm was Supreme Qiao in at that time?" Lu Cheng asked.

"When Supreme Qiao was eighteen years old, he had already reached the ninth level of the Earth Realm, and he didn't even have an independent space like ours!"

“When he was twenty years old, he had already reached the ninth level of the middle heavenly realm.” said the white-bearded old man.

"So powerful?" Lu Cheng found it unbelievable.

"You have much less knowledge. It is not necessarily the case that this independent space is the only one that dominates the world. There must be other ways to speed up cultivation."

"There will always be people better than you!" said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, if you had told us this earlier, we would have had a goal, and it would definitely not be the current level!" Lu Cheng replied.

"Do I need to say this? You guys have no sense of urgency!"

"Whatever you do, you have to feel as if a knife is on your neck! Remember, time waits for no one!" said the white-bearded old man.

"Okay, grandpa, we'll remember this. From now on, we won't dare to slack off again!" The men in black replied in unison.

"Lü Cheng, tell us more about the situation." said the white-bearded old man.

"Some leaf-wrapped fruits appeared in the world. Before the Church of Light was destroyed, I thought that the leaf-wrapped fruits disappeared from then on, but I didn't expect that the Spiritual Pavilion would actually auction off the leaf-wrapped fruits." "Although there are not many, but they are being auctioned continuously. It is obvious that the Spiritual Pavilion is doing hunger marketing.

If you want to make more money, this method is really bad." Lu Cheng said.

"The leaf-wrapped fruit is not only possessed by the Church of Light. We also have it, but we just don't make it public." said the white-bearded old man.

"We also have leaves wrapped in fruits?" Lu Cheng was very surprised.

"You guys have eaten them a long time ago. Where do you think those fruits came from?" asked the white-bearded old man.

"I thought it was purchased from outside and then stored." Lu Cheng replied.

"Because the leaf-wrapped fruit is very precious, I also keep it as a top secret. It's normal that you don't know about it."

"Especially after the Church of Light was destroyed, I felt that the leaf-wrapped fruit was an extremely important material, so I classified the cultivation of the leaf-wrapped fruit as top secret." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, we can also sell some fruit wrapped in leaves. It's really profitable." Lu Cheng suggested.

"After this, we are not short of money for the time being. These are strategic materials and cannot be traded easily." said the white-bearded old man.

"Tell us about something else." said the white-bearded old man.

"That Psychic Pavilion is really quite powerful. It can find out anything anywhere! It's really puzzling."

"Will they be able to detect my whereabouts?" Lu Cheng said.

"You don't need to worry too much about this."

"The reason why the Spiritual Pavilion can do this is based on a special ability of the ninth level of the peak Heavenly Realm masters. This ability is the 'Heavenly Eye'."

The white-bearded old man said.
