Chapter 1213: The Two Faces of the Heavenly Dao

Especially for the members of the Golden-Winged Roc and Peacock Lineages…

The question of whether a Phoenix had appeared remained inconclusive!

To them,

if a Phoenix truly had been born, that would be the most important matter of all…

…

Inside the Heavenly Blood Pool…

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, absorbing and refining the vitality and spiritual energy within the Blood Pool.

His aura climbed steadily, reaching its Peak…

He felt as though he could break through at any moment and attempt to reach the Yuding Realm!

"Should I break through?" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

He felt that the outside world was extremely dangerous…

If he went out rashly and others found out he had slain Tun Xiang and E Mo,

and had also captured Yi Tuo, Red Spirit Dragon, and Yun Lou,

they might all join forces to kill him!

After weighing his options, he felt it would be safer to break through to the Yuding Realm first; even if he encountered danger, his chances of escaping would be greater.

However, what gave Xiao Fan a headache was whether

breaking through within this Secret Realm would trigger a Heavenly Tribulation…

If it really drew a Heavenly Tribulation, he wasn't confident he could handle it right now…

If things went wrong, he might be struck dead!

What should he do?

"Heavenly Dao… if I break through to the Yuding Realm in this Secret Realm, will there be a Heavenly Tribulation?" Xiao Fan used his Divine Thought to question the Heavenly Dao.

"Lord Human Sovereign… there will be!"

"And if I want to break through?"

"This… it can also not happen!"

"…"

"Explain in detail," Xiao Fan asked.

"Certainly!"

The Heavenly Dao complied and began to explain the principles of the Secret Realm to Xiao Fan.

It was the Heavenly Dao of this world… the rules here, the upper limits, the ceiling, and even the concentration of spiritual energy were all determined by the Heavenly Dao…

The upper limit here was the Great Perfection of the Yuding Realm.

Powerhouses of the Jiesheng Realm could not be born here.

Of course…

The Heavenly Dao could not break this ceiling.

Doing so would easily allow powerful natives to be born within the Secret Realm world, who might then overthrow the Heavenly Dao…

But making the Heavenly Tribulation generated by Xiao Fan's Breakthrough disappear—

that was something it could still manage!

After hearing the Heavenly Dao's explanation, Xiao Fan smiled…

"Very good!"

Xiao Fan nodded and told the Heavenly Dao that he might break through within the Secret Realm shortly.

He told it not to let his Breakthrough draw any Heavenly Tribulation!

The Heavenly Dao naturally agreed immediately…

Xiao Fan continued to absorb the essence power within the Heavenly Blood Pool.

He allowed himself to settle, accumulate… and constantly compress his power.

He hadn't stayed at the Great Perfection of the Pi Hai Realm for very long.

He intended to take this opportunity to bring his Pi Hai Realm power to the Peak of Peaks…

Before breaking through to the Yuding Realm!

Meanwhile, Xiao Fan had also cultivated the Demon Bath Transformation technique to the level of Perfection!

His Physical Body strength was now comparable to that of the powerful Demon Race!!

His aura rose step by step…

Three days later…

The essence power within the Heavenly Blood Pool began to grow increasingly thin.

Lan Zhanque, the Red Demoness, Wei Zhongshan, and the others all felt it.

Even they felt it.

Then wouldn't Li Xuancang and the other two be even worse off?

"It's less than one-twentieth of what it was at the start… Damn it, why…"

Li Xuancang cursed in his heart, but his face didn't betray a thing; he still maintained a kind and upright expression.

He glanced at Xiao Fan.

He noticed that the other party hadn't done anything during this time…

He was just refining the Blood Pool to make himself stronger.

"Could it be… because I swallowed the Blood Pill?"

Li Xuancang muttered to himself.

Did entering the Heavenly Blood Pool after taking a Blood Pill have an effect?

Although he hadn't heard anyone mention this before…

It seemed like a possibility?

However, when Li Xuancang looked at Li Quan and the other human,

his reaction changed.

Although Li Quan and the other human didn't speak…

The aura radiating from their bodies was clearly inferior to that of Jian Wuyou and the others.

This proved that the amount of Blood Pool essence they had absorbed was also not much…

"Damn it, why…"

Li Xuancang couldn't figure it out and was incredibly angry!

But there was nothing he could do.

He even wanted to follow Xiao Fan's example and take out Jian Wuyou and the rest!

After all, his current strength was sufficient!

But he couldn't…

Even though he was strong enough,

he was equally clear that he absolutely could not beat a monster like Xiao Fan!

So he could only endure it and silently absorb that one-twentieth of the essence power.

…

Xiao Fan's aura began to fluctuate.

He compressed his Bottleneck time and again, polishing it over and over…

Several times, he was almost able to break through the boundary of the Yuding Realm.

In the end, he suppressed it by sheer force of will…

If he were in the outside world,

with the suppression of the Nine Provinces' Heavenly Dao!

Xiao Fan's attempt to break through to the Yuding Realm would surely be incomparably difficult!

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao would surely send down a Heavenly Tribulation, looking for a way to erase Xiao Fan's existence!

But inside the Secret Realm, none of that happened!

Xiao Fan was the Human Sovereign.

The Heavenly Dao here was at Xiao Fan's beck and call…

In fact, if Xiao Fan were willing,

he could completely stay within the Secret Realm…

Being a local king and living a life like an immortal.

Of course, he would certainly not make that choice…
