Ye Xiao once again killed a rank two magical beast by using Sacred Finger Art. It can be seen that the Sacred Finger Art was really a very powerful martial arts skill and who knows how many times stronger the complete Sacred Finger Art is.
When the Blood Lizard died, it started drowning in the lake. Ye Xiao hurriedly grabbed its broken skull and dragged it out of the lake. Once again he began to search for the beast core in the corpse of the Blood Lizard and after finding it, he stored it in the spatial bag.
This Blood Lizard also died after getting hit by the first move of the Sacred Finger Art, so, Ye Xiao was now confirmed that no rank two magical beast was his match at all. He can simply kill any rank two magical beast with a single hit by using the Sacred Finger Art.
Sacred Finger Art was a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill and it was really very powerful but he knew that he is not the only one who has a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill. There will be many others who has a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill and maybe there was even someone same as that Lin Hao, possessing a Low Grade Earth Rank martial arts skill.
So, even after killing the Blood Lizard in one move and finding out that no other rank two magical beast is his match, Ye Xiao didn't become too proud of himself instead he thought of working hard to improve so that he can obtain a good ranking in the competition.
After he was done with Blood Lizard, Ye Xiao once again flew to the centre of the lake. When he arrived at the centre of the lake, he once again looked at the Jade Lotus.
He became very excited.
Of course, he would be excited after all Jade Lotus was not something that can be found easily. It was very rare to come.
Ye Xiao's encounter with it could be considered his good luck.
His luck was really good.
He carefully held the Jade Lotus and plucked it.
Ye Xiao returned back and the beautiful pair of wings disappeared from his back.
Now, it was getting dark so Ye Xiao found a big tree and climbed it. After reaching the top of the tree, he sat down on a branch and suddenly disappeared from there.
_The World Inside The Heavenly Pearl_
In the middle of the Grassland which was surrounded by beautiful flowers, A silhouette suddenly appeared.
In front of him was the familiar Jade Path but this time he didn't walk on it.
Instead, he walked to a side where many flowers was blooming and took out the Jade Lotus.
He planned to plant the Jade Lotus here and produce it in a large quantity.
He dug a small pit and planted the Jade Lotus there.
Suddenly, he stood up and took a few step back because the moment he planted the Jade Lotus there, a colourful light began to glow from all the beautiful flowers present there.
Ye Xiao didn't know what was happening so he silently stood there and kept watching as a colourful mist appeared there out of nowhere and surrounded the Jade Lotus.
"Ah! What is happening here? Is there something wrong? I think I should not have planted the Jade Lotus here." Ye Xiao was now worried about the Jade Lotus as he was not able to see what was happening inside the colourful mist.
He was worried that something might happen to the Jade Lotus.
But what can he do?
Nothing?
Even though the Heavenly Pearl was inside his heart and he can use the treasures inside it as he wished but he can not control it.
There was nothing he can do.
He always felt it from the moment when Heavenly Pearl merged with his heart that he was not the true master of it.
No, In truth, he still did not have the qualification to become the master of the Heavenly Pearl. His current strength was not enough to truly merge with it.
He can go in and come out of the Heavenly Pearl whenever he want. He can use and enjoy the resources from the world inside the Heavenly Pearl. He can merge with the memories of the Ancient gods. He can gain many benefits from the Heavenly Pearl but still he can not control it. He does not have the qualification to control it.
He always had this feeling that only by becoming strong can he be qualified to be the master of the Heavenly Pearl.
Now, there was something happening with the Jade flower inside the colourful mist and he can not even see what was happening. He felt helpless.
I have to become powerful.
Ye Xiao once again felt the need of strength.
He helplessly looked at the colourful mist. He didn't know what was was happening inside the colourful mist so he sat down there and stared at the colourful mist without blinking an eyelid.
Some time later the colourful light that was emitting from the beautiful flowers of the Grassland began to fade. As the colourful light faded, the colourful mist also started to become thinner and thinner.
Now, he can see the outline of the Jade Lotus and slowly it appeared in front of his eyes once again.
"Woah!!"
"Thank god, it is out. I will never ever plant anything here from now on."
But wait a moment..
There was something wrong here.
Just when Ye Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and thought of plucking it from there he stopped in his track. He felt that something was wrong with the Jade Lotus. It was larger than before and..
No, there was nothing wrong here instead there was something right here.
Yes, the Jade Lotus was larger than before and the same goes for each of its petals. It was also two times bigger than what it was before.
