Chapter 10: Why Did You Save Me?

She hated this feeling of trying to capture something the most. To her frustration, despite all this time, she hadn't captured a single thing other than discovering that milky voice echoing in her ear. She couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

"You, you ungrateful woman..." The little kid's voice grew angry along with it, "I've saved you twice at the very least, can't you be a little more polite to me?"

Su Wanluo frowned, and then she began to laugh mockingly, "Do you lie without even making a draft? I haven't even seen you; when did you save me twice?"

How could this child be so unreliable? But just where on earth was he hiding?

"Hmph..." The little kid's voice turned cold, "If it weren't for me saving you, you would have died from a fall in another dimension long ago. If I hadn't acted, you would have been shot dead by that stupid woman with an arrow today."

Su Wanluo froze as if struck by lightning. How—how did he know she was about to die from a fall in another dimension? And today, that burst of nine-colored light when the arrow was aimed at her.

Her voice couldn't help but tremble, "Why... why did you save me?"

The little kid's voice was still quite unpleasant, but he explained patiently, "Because you are my host, so I can't let you die. If you die, I'll have to find a new host again."

"Host?"

Su Wanluo frowned and repeated the word in confusion, clearly not understanding it.

The little kid fell silent for a moment, then said haughtily, "Anyway, for some inexplicable reason, I formed a contract with your soul imprint in the Void Space, and then you arrived in this dimension. Fine, fine, you don't need to worry about the rest; there are many things that even I don't understand clearly."

The little kid seemed very irritable and had a headache, likely annoyed because there were things he couldn't figure out himself.

Su Wanluo curled her lips into a smile, actually feeling a bit more fond of the little kid, "Since we are in a contract relationship, then come out. It would be good for me to admire the great Creation Divine Artifact."

The little kid seemed to become instantly depressed, "I can't come out..."

Seeing his dejected state, Su Wanluo teased him somewhat amusedly, "Then what do you have to do to come out?"

After a silence, the little kid said, "I can come out once you reach the Shattered Realm," and speaking to this, the little kid sounded very expectant, "You'll break through to the Shattered Realm very quickly, okay?"

Su Wanluo... She truly didn't have the heart to break the little kid's expectations, but the reality was too tragic; the Shattered Realm... I'm afraid the cultivators of the Zhou Heaven Domain wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

In the path of cultivation, the most basic realm is the Qi Refining Realm. The Qi Refining Realm is divided into nine levels, with spiritual power values ranging from 1 to 9. Above the Qi Refining Realm is the Spirit Gathering Realm, which is also divided into nine levels; the spiritual power value for level one is 10 to 19, increasing by one level upon reaching the threshold, and the spiritual power value for level nine is 90 to 99.

100 marks the Profound Realm, which is also divided into nine levels; the spiritual power value for level one is 100 to 199, and for level nine, it is 900 to 999.

Breaking through a spiritual power value of 1,000 is the Yuan Transformation Realm, and only breaking through 10,000 is the Shattered Realm. Furthermore, the lower the realm, the easier it is to cultivate. As one progresses, it often takes many years to advance even a single realm, and many cultivators remain stuck at a single spiritual power value until they die.

It was said that in a low-level plane like the Zhou Heaven Domain, aside from the rumored, outrageously monstrous Northern Country Mysterious King and the Flame Silence Grandmaster, the highest level was no more than the advanced stage of the Yuan Transformation Realm.

As for the Shattered Realm, legends said it would only appear in the high-level planes of the Saint Spirit Continent. She hadn't expected this little kid to think so highly of her.
