Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1654: Extremely Shocked

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Look at you. You are so young, but you are already at level seven of the Saint Origin Stage. That is impressive.” Chihuo looked at Ye Xiao and said, “I have been traveling the world for so many years, and there aren’t many people who can be as talented as you are.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Oh, really? As a matter of fact, I am quite normal.”

Chihuo laughed and said, “You are being too modest, Lord Monarch... Your real age...” He reached out one hand to hold Ye Xiao’s shoulder and said, “You must be younger than...”

Suddenly, he froze in shock!

His eyes nearly popped out of his eye frames.

“What is it?” Ye Xiao was confused. ‘What is going on? I didn’t say anything... Well, I was being modest, and it might make me look hypocritical, but do you have to be shocked like this?’

‘Really?’

‘Do you have to?’

“You... Your age... You are actually younger than twenty?” Chihuo took a deep breath and asked as if he was looking at a ghost.

He just couldn’t believe it.

“No way... You made a mistake. I am much older than twenty!” Ye Xiao said. It made Chihuo feel relieved, “I knew it... You can’t be such a monster...”

“My age is twenty-two and a half...” Ye Xiao smiled and said, “That is over twenty. Do you think I am still a kid? Do you expect me to live backward...?”

Chihuo’s face was twisted. At this moment, his heart was shaking.

“I know that I look young, but you can’t change my age. That two and a half years are solid...” Ye Xiao said.

“Wait... I didn’t mean it... I didn’t say you were a kid...” Chihuo felt upset.

In some powerful clans, the youngsters who were talented usually looked younger than they were because the clans would use some special technique to keep their original qi on them for as long as they could.

That could be weird to others. A man who was actually fifty years old could be like a kid.

He wasn’t a dwarf. Nor was he ill. It was just a special technique working on him.

When a cultivator checked another cultivator’s age, it wasn’t about the birth age, but the cultivation age. The former Ye Xiao started cultivating when he was seven. In fact, when Ye Xiao was reborn in this body, he truly started cultivating. That was the beginning of his cultivation age. That was why Chihuo thought Ye Xiao was less than twenty. He was less than twenty, actually less than ten!

Ye Xiao looked young and pretty, and Chihuo believed he only remained young by some special techniques...

After all, he was smart, wise, brilliant in dan-making, and it took time for a man to become so brilliant. When Chihuo checked Ye Xiao’s cultivation age, he realized Ye Xiao’s cultivation age was actually less than twenty years. That was why he was shocked!

Ye Xiao told Chihuo that he was twenty-two years old. That proved Chihuo’s judgment. He had lived twenty-two years only!

It meant his cultivation age was less than twenty years indeed!

That was...

It was unimaginable. If this was real, he would reach the Immortality Stage in only one hundred years, and reach the Undead Stage in another one hundred years. In one thousand years, he would be an Infinity Stage cultivator... Maybe he didn’t need that long!

Chihuo was shocked. He kept telling himself it was an absurd idea. He had seen so many talented men in his life of over one hundred thousand years. Nobody could be as talented as that. Ye Xiao was incredibly talented, but he might stop someday in the future.

Chihuo didn’t believe it, but he couldn’t lie to himself. He had a feeling that Ye Xiao would reach the incredible stages as fast as he imagined! Soon, this young man was going to reach the top of the world!

“You...” Chihuo stared at Ye Xiao and said, “Are you... Are you a monster?”

“I think monsters all want to be like me!” Ye Xiao stared back at Chihuo and said, “Have you ever seen a monster who looks this handsome?”

Chihuo thought, ‘Kid, you are too young. There are a lot of monsters who look much prettier than you...’

‘However, there is no monster who can reach level four of the Saint Origin Stage in twenty years...’

‘Ah, ah, ah...’

‘Let me die!’

“How did you do it?” Chihuo was blank. He just let the words slip out of his mouth. He was so shocked! Chihuo always believed that he himself was a talented man. If the Fire of Dragon and Phoenix wasn’t that difficult, he would have reached the higher stage a lot earlier. However, compared to Ye Xiao, he was slow like a dying man and he felt ashamed about it.

“How did I do it? I just work hard...” Ye Xiao sighed and said, “The path to the greatness in cultivation is difficult. The only thing I can do is to concentrate on the cultivation. I come from the lower realm... I have been through much more than the native cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. I still dream about the days when...”

“Wait! Stop here... Do you mean you are from the lower realm?” Chihuo froze!

His eyes definitely had popped out this time!

Ye Xiao was such a strike in Chihuo’s heart! Chihuo was astounded!

If Ye Xiao was from a powerful clan in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, it still made sense because powerful clans in the Human Realm Upon Heavens always had some special technique to raise their youngsters.

‘What did he say? Did he say... he was from the lower realm?’

‘Does it mean he has no background in this world?’

‘Does it mean... When he reached the Human Realm Upon Heavens, he should at least be at the Faery Origin Stage. After that, it was the Divinity Origin Stage, and then the Saint Origin Stage... Even if he started cultivating as soon as he was born... Wait a minute... He is twenty-two years old. His cultivation age is less than twenty years... He didn’t start cultivating as a baby... How did he do it? This is ridiculous! How could he improve so fast?’

‘That is ridiculous...’

‘Is this a dream?’
