A distance from the Tie clan, there is a massive 3 story building, that building itself takes up a couple kilometers in space, and resides on a few hundred kilometers of land..
This is the residence of the Ye family, well to be more specific, the residence of one of the Ye family's branches, they still go by the surname Ye though.
On the third floor, in a pretty spacious room, laying on a massive red bed covered in fancy silk, lays a fatty.
This fatty was ravenously devouring a bunch of roasted meat, albeit with a depressed look on his face, he just lost 6 gold coins recently. He couldn't help but snivel a little at the thought of his 6 gold coins, he would never admit that his appetite is what made him lose his money, even though he just bought a snack.
A quite expensive snack.
The fatty would roll back and forth on his bed every now and then, as he took a bite of the roasted meat, then he would drink some wine, and spill a little.
There were stains all over the bed…
In this spacious room there was a huge wooden door with engravings of dragons and phoenixes, a sudden knocking came from this door.
Frowning the fatty rolled off his bed and opened the door, after opening the door, the fatty was greeted by a servant in plain gray robes.
"What do you want?" asked the fatty with an irritated look appearing on his face.
Looking at the fatty and smiling, the servant chuckled a little as he looked closely at the fatty.
"I heard you lost 6 gold coins.."
"Shut up and leave if that's all you have to say!"
As soon as the servant mentioned the loss of 6 gold coins the fatty was angered and was about to close the door on the servant, before the door could slam in the servants face the servant spoke up.
"Young master Yan, that Ren boy, do you know who his guardian is?"
Hearing this question Yan opened the door the rest of the way as he straightened his silk clothes, "No I do not, who is his guardian? Why does it concern me?"
Looking at Yan the servant shook his head, "You just got here, you mustn't know this, even those who don't live here know this"
Taking a bite out of a piece of roasted meat, Yan squints his already squinted eyes, and stares even more at the servant, "Who is his guardian?"
Letting out a chuckle the servant shakes his head again as he lets out a sigh, "Young master, his guardian, is THAT d*mn old woman, you shouldn't offend her, she's an old monster, a she-devil. Try not to be enemies with Ren"
Hearing the words "old monster, and she-devil" Yan's flesh trembled, "Is she that terrifying? Do you know her name? What does she look like?"
Giving Yan a smirk, as his eyes glistened a little, "Young master Yan, she's been around for so long, only she would know her actual name. What does she look like? Well, she looks like a maid, the only maid that is left to take care of Ren"
After the servant spoke, a silence invaded the room, it was so silent you could hear a pin drop, Yan looked at the servant with a little sweat dripping down his face, as he had a bad feeling, "You never mentioned why she is so terrifying"
Turning away as the servant smirked at Yan, he chuckled, "She has surpassed the heaven stage long ago, she's in a stage that we have no records of, in all of the Aszroth continent, she is possibly, no, she IS the strongest person"
As the servant's back vanished into the shadows of the hall, he spoke in a fading voice, "She isn't someone you want to offend, unless you want to get the whole kingdom after her, even then, only after at least 90% of the kingdoms forces are wiped out, only THEN would she even be slightly injured"
After the servant finished speaking, Yan dropped the piece of roasted meat as his flesh trembled, he reached behind him to feel all the cold sweat that formed on his back.
'Only after 90% of the kingdom's forces are destroyed, only then she will be slightly injured, that powerful? It's only 6 gold coins..'
The servant said this for Yan's own good, as he is a young master, the servant had to stop him from doing something foolish.
But, why is the heaven stage so terrifying?
In the heaven stage there are no tiers or levels, there are only:
Beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert.
In this stage, your lifespan is increased by at least 3000 years, if you use special treasures or have a good constitution, the increase can be greater.
A beginner heaven stage expert can fight for five hours at max power until qi runs out. Without qi a heaven stage expert has a physical body of the last tier of the xian stage.
A heaven stage expert can erase mountains and flip seas, quite literally, as long as they have the appropriate techniques.
Beyond that, there are no records, it's considered uncharted territory, but someone at that stage should've moved to the world of the gods, that power is too strong for this world…
A xian stage practitioner (right before heaven stage) only has a 100 year increase in lifespan, unless using treasures, etc..
At this stage and up, physical strength is measured in points, 1 point of strength is 2 times stronger than a level 9 rebirth expert.
The first tier of the xian stage grants an increase of 1 point in strength.
After dropping his roasted meat, Yan slowly walked back into his room while muttering in a panicked voice.
"It's only 6 gold coins.."
"It's only 6 gold coins.."
"It's only 6 gold coins.."
The fatty, Yan, after entering the room, is determined to befriend Ren at any costs.
