Shen Tian could feel that he was very close to another realm, he had been thinking of ways he could use to enter the Heavenly Fate Realm. It was obvious he couldn't cultivate Heavenly Energy using Spiritual Roots.
No matter how much Soul Force he feed the Spiritual Roots, they did not even look a bit lively, it was absurd, he had used enough Soul Force to directly breakthrough to the Legend Rank for a hundred times!
He was planning to attempt a last time, to make his Spiritual Roots awaken, using the Soul Force of over twenty five million Shadow Clones, to bombard the Spiritual Roots, forcefully awakening them!
However, he was not going to do it while he was still in the Underground City, he would just silently absorb Soul Force, the purity of his Soul Force was already extremely high due to the Undying Cycles Realm, which refined it.

Bai Hu walked into the White Tiger's hall, he was going to give The White Tiger Family's Matriarch who was called Bai Qing, a fiery woman with a strange temper, even the Ancestors didn't like angering her.
Bai Qing had long wild crimson red hair, and silver eyes, she wore traditional red clothes, and was coldly looking from the biggest seat in the White Tiger's Main Hall, and asked,"Bai Hu, tell me who the hell this boy who is gaining popularity is?"
Bai Qing could be considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the Underground City, and also was greatly desired by many men, because even at the age of 29, she had yet to marry, and focused on her cultivation.
If Bai Hu was a prodigy, Then Bai Qing could be considered one among millions, since she had reached the Legend Rank at the age of 23, and now was at the peak of the Legend Rank, an amazing achievement.
She cultivated the greatest technique of the White Tiger Family,which made cultivation speed extremely high, which also had several shortcomings. However, the owner of such a technique, had extremely high offensive power.
Bai Hu took a deep breath, Kotoamatsukami had heavily changed how his brain was working, however no one would notice it, since a very tiny part of his brain was changed, then he responded.
"The boy is called Shen Tian, I found out about him, when he accidentally entered our territory, at a time when it was forbidden, he engaged in a fight with some of my men, and even had the upper hand."
Bai Qing frowned,"So he doesn't have a positive opinion of us… We must fix that, it has been talked in the discussion of the big factions, that they want to recruit him into their faction!" She said.
Bai Hu nodded,"Leave it to me, while my men did engage in a fight with him, in the end I managed to fix the relationship, since I noticed that his power level was not that low." Bai Qing smiled,"Good job."
Bai Yu, his father smiled, he did like that his son was doing something while thinking for their family. Since the White Tiger Family was one of the weakest factions of the city, and could only stick close to the Black Lion Family, just like the Black Lion Family did to them.
The Black Lion and White Tiger Families, could only rely on each other to survive in the Underground City, and the fact their territories were next to each other, only helped in improving their connection.
Shen Tian took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao, and checked their cultivation, both were at the first star of the Legend Rank, they would be unmatched in Glory City, since even Ye Mo did not have Demon Spirits like theirs.
After a few days of giving them advices and tips to their Cultivation Techniques, they had finally managed to achieve the breakthrough to the Legend Rank, making them the strongest existences in Glory City besides Shen Tian.
Shen Tian looked at Xiao Ning'er and felt conflicting feelings in his heart, was this affection, or was it the emotion which people called 'love' Shen Tian did not know, he only knew of motherly love.
He had only experienced the love of one person in his life before, that was his mother in his previous life, while he was sure his father also loved him, he was more focused in his work, to keep the family alive.
In this life, he had his father dearly loving him for the first six years of his life, however, he had died very quickly, then in the later six, Shen Xiu showed signs of love for a few years, but quickly extinguished it.
Now, he had Feng Hao, who felt brotherly love for him, and Xiao Ning'er who loved him dearly, and despite Shen Tian not being very knowledgeable about love, he knew how to see the signs of it.
Xiao Ning'er showed the signs of someone in love, and the person she was in love with was Shen Tian, she showed that several times, by holding his hand, or deliberately brushing her arm against his.
Shen Tian smiled softly, and started to touch Xiao Ning's hair, the latter still sleeping after a day of cultivating without a stop, she was really cute when she was sleeping, he had only noticed it today it seems.
He did not even realize it himself, but Xiao Ning'er slowly woke up, and realized what was happening, and blushed heavily, however she did not move, this did indeed make her feel very comfortable.
Feng Hao was still asleep, he had cultivated for a bit more than Xiao Ning'er, so he was exhausted in every way possible. He cultivated a cultivation technique, which requested more stamina than Xiao Ning's.
Shen Tian felt his inner pent up emotions slowly go away, and comfort replaced it, a wide smile appeared on his face, replacing his previous smile,"Wake up, Ning'er, it's time to go and eat." He chuckled.
Xiao Ning'er raised her head, still looking sleepy, and yawned,"Huh?" She said and rubbed her eyes, and blushed again, upon noticing that Shen Tian's face was literally just a few centimeters away from hers.
She yelped,"Shen Tian! How dare you take advantage of me…" She pouted, however she did not truly mean her words, and she slowly stood up, going to the bathroom to wash her eyes and fully wake up.
