After they came back on Beerus' planet, Hazuki continued to train on the chamber accessible by Whis' staff.
He continued to train in that chamber for years but it was actually just a few months outside.
Hazuki estimated that he's inside that chamber for 5 years. But outside, he's just away for 6 months. The time ratio between the chamber and the real word is 10:1.
He was inside that place for 5 whole years without needing to get out. Some of his clones were left outside and they are responsible for cooking Beerus', Whis', and Long Lan's meals.
Lan was also lazing around the planet. She and Whis get along quite well since both of them have 'vast experience' due to living for millions of years.
She also decided to train in normal Ki with Whis supervising her outside. She wasn't training inside the chamber since she isn't proficient enough in controlling her Ki yet.
Whis was also quite patient with Long Lan since he could also feel the latter's extraordinary powers. He also knew that Long Lan is not a normal sword spirit since she's emitting a certain bestial aura.
The chamber's time was slowed and so is Hazuki's aging while he's inside. Hazuki's age continued to age normally since the time inside the chamber was augmented. His appearance was still that of an 18-year-old young man with prominent facial features.
His training progress was quite fast since he was accompanied by his Clones while he's training inside that chamber.
One-hundred clones were responsible for absorbing God Ki for him. Another one-hundred is sparring with him, tempering his body even more and allowing God Ki to flow freely inside him.
During that time, particularly the 2nd month, Hazuki struck a deal with Whis.
While he was inside that chamber, he approached Whis' staff and whispered. "Whis-san, is Beerus-sama sleeping?"
Whis' face appeared on the staff and replied. "Yes, he's still sleeping. What's the matter?"
"Whis-san, I want to offer you a deal."
"And what kind of deal is that, Hazuki-san?" Whis asked puzzledly.
"Let's go to my personal dimension first since someone might hear our conversation." Hazuki ordered his clone outside to absorb Whis inside his Kamui dimension.
Hazuki also entered that dimension to meet up with Whis. The latter is observing the surroundings while standing on the tallest rectangular prism.
The Kamui dimension is dark, and seemingly void-like dimension. The inside was composed of randomly arranged rectangular prisms varying in height.
"Whis-san!" Hazuki said as he landed on the same platform.
"To think you'd exercise extreme measures just to prevent someone from hearing us... Hazuki-san, just what kind of deal are you trying to offer?"
"I want you to teach me how to use Hakai energy, Whis-san." Hazuki declared.
"!!!" Whis was shocked as he heard Hazuki's words. But soon, he calmed himself down and warned Hazuki sternly. "Do you know what you are talking about, Hazuki-san? If Beerus-sama found out that you wanted to succeed him.."
"No, Whis-san, I'm not trying to succeed Beerus-sama. I want the ability to use Hakai energy without succeeding Beerus-sama." Hazuki replied.
"!!!!" This time Whis was dumbfounded. He frantically said. "What are you saying, Hazuki-san?! Rejected! If the Grand Priest were to find out about your ability to use Hakai energy, then you will be doomed! Even I, who taught you, will be punished heavily!"
"Whis-san, can you feel the outside world while you are here in my personal space? Do you think you can access your staff too?" Hazuki asked.
Whis concentrated and replied. "I.. can't. I also can't call my staff here.."
"Since you can't sense the outside world, then the people outside mustn't be able to sense you too. This way, you can teach me here secretly until I am able to use it." Hazuki said.
"Even if you learn it secretly, the Grand Priest would still find out once you get out from this dimension!" Whis insisted.
"Whis-san, are you doubting my Ki control? Even you weren't able to sense my true power when I hid it. How can the Grand priest, whose always with Zen-o-sama, find out?"
As he heard this, Whis hesitated. Hazuki's Ki control was really impeccable! Even he couldn't sense Hazuki's true power when the latter concealed it.
"Even so... the Grand Priest is on a whole new level than me! He's my father and he's the strongest fighter in all of the universe! The only one who could beat him is Zen-o-sama himself!"
"Don't reject so easily, Whis-san. I still haven't offered your commission if you really did teach me Hakai energy."
"Whis-san, if you could teach me Hakai energy, then I will guarantee universe 7's survival in the upcoming tournament of power, 10 months from now, and I can also assign a clone here to cook for you for an indefinite amount of time." Hazuki said.
"....." After a long moment of silence, Whis replied. "I still reject. Even if the universe 7 was really destroyed, I wouldn't be affected at all since Angels don't die. And even though the allure of food is powerful, my fear towards the Grand Priest is still greater." Whis said determinedly.
"Haaah, then I wouldn't force you anymore, Whis-san." Hazuki was disappointed. He thought he might be able to persuade Whis into teaching him Hakai energy. But it looks like his plan wasn't successful.
The only choice he has right now was to buy the Hakai energy's manual from the system shop for 15,000,000 system points.
Afterward, Hazuki brought out Whis and continued his training.
Both of them were quite awkward with each other due to the failed deal. But after a few months, the awkwardness naturally disappeared like it never happened.
His training continued until another 4 months has passed outside of the Chamber.
-----The next day.-----
"Whis-san, please take me out now." Hazuki said. He has already finished his training and he needs to go on his way now.
Suddenly, Hazuki felt his body getting pulled by some kind of force, he felt slightly lightheaded while he was being taken out by Whis.
When he broke out of his trance, Whis was already in front of him, observing him close-up.
"What happened? Why did I suddenly feel dizzy?" Hazuki asked. That should be impossible now since his mental fortitude is very tough.
"That's because of the time dilation of that place. Your body was already accustomed to that place, and suddenly getting pulled away from that place confused your sense of time." Whis explained.
Hazuki brooded for a moment then nodded. "Thanks for everything, Whis-san. I might have to leave now since I have an urgent matter to deal with. I can leave some of my clones here to cook meals for you."
Whis was already accustomed to training Hazuki, and his sudden departure disheartened him quite a bit. "It's fine, Hazuki-san. It's my honor to teach a talented student like you." then he laughed sincerely.
"So, strong are you now? Do you wanna try it out?" Whis asked with a hint of provocation.
"Okay!" Then he stood up and widened the distance between them.
Whis was standing still in his place, holding his staff calmly. He was observing Hazuki's Ki and measuring how much it increased.
'Huh, it's still the same? That should be impossible since Hazuki-san's a monster when it comes to absorbing God Ki..' Whis thought. The amount of God Ki he could feel from Hazuki was still the same as 6 months ago.
Hazuki smirked as he gazed at Whis' calm disposition. His God Ki should be overflowing now due to its insane amount. But due to his superior Ki control, he could reign it in very perfectly.
Suddenly, Hazuki appeared in front of Whis without the latter even noticing his movements. Hazuki's right fist was already nearing Whis' face just as he appeared.
Though Whis was startled, his body immediately reacted since his body was able to move independently.
*Bang!* Hazuki's fist struck Whis' staff. The collision made a powerful shockwave and the surroundings were swept by it. The lake water was disturbed and the surrounding plants were uprooted due to the shockwave.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* Hazuki and Whis fought quite evenly. They are perfectly parrying each other's strike and both of them were countering each other very decisively.
*Boom!* "What are you doing?! I was woken up from my nap due to your loud movements!!" Beerus snarled. His eyes were still half-closed so he couldn't see what is happening properly.
A few seconds later, the collisions and loud sounds were still continuing. Beerus was irked since the people fighting below didn't even glance and obey him.
He opened his eyes wide and shouted. "Stop! Didn't I say to stop?!"
That's the moment when he finally noticed that Hazuki and Whis are fighting.
Due to their fight, the ground beneath was destroyed and patches of it were caved in.
Beerus was stunned as he saw Hazuki fighting against Whis evenly. 'He's fighting against Whis evenly?!'
Then he remained silent and observed their fight while sitting on a branch where his castle was erected.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* Hazuki and Whis fought everywhere. Their fight affected everything surrounding them due to the intense shockwaves they are generating.
Suddenly, Hazuki's right fist grazed Whis' left cheek. The graze sliced through Whis' skin, and a small amount of blood dripped from it.
Whis retreated from Hazuki and touched his grazed cheek. He could definitely feel the sting of the wound and he stared at Hazuki with a commending glance. "You've improved so much, Hazuki-san. I estimate that you are nearly at the same level as Beerus-sama."
"Ha?! What are you saying, Whis?! That brat still has many ways to go before he could beat me!" Beerus shouted from his position. He was quite irritated being compared to Hazuki, who trained for only a year.
Whis glanced back at Beerus and smiled wryly. He shook his head and stared back at Hazuki. "Looks like Beerus-sama couldn't accept that fact, Hazuki-san."
"It's fine, Whis-san. I'm not training here to surpass Beerus-sama, but to get stronger as much as I can." Hazuki said indifferently.
Whis suddenly threw his staff towards the ground. The staff levitated slowly before it landed gently on the ground beside Oracle fish.
Hazuki was puzzled by Whis' actions. Suddenly, he saw Whis taking a weird martial arts stance.
'So that's the reason! He wasn't fighting me seriously until now!' Hazuki thought as he observed Whis. The latter was currently emitting an intimidating pressure just by taking a martial stance.
Hazuki also took his martial stance and stared seriously at Whis.
Both of them were observing each other's intentions and is ready to act on a slight movement.
Suddenly, Whis disappeared from his spot and appeared above Hazuki. The latter couldn't react properly since it was so abrupt.
Not a single muscle of Whis even squirmed before he took action. It's like he teleported atop of Hazuki when he's slightly distracted.
He had no room to dodge so Hazuki crossed his arms on top of him, attempting to block Whis' downward kick.
*Bang!* Hazuki was blown downwards and he struck the ground beneath him.
Just as his figure was embedded in the ground, Hazuki immediately felt a powerful impact on his stomach.
"Gah!" Hazuki groaned as his figure bent over due to the sheer power behind that dropkick.
He gritted his teeth and flared his God Ki. Whis immediately retreated away from Hazuki as he felt sensed the erupting God Ki from the latter.
*Boom!* The air surrounding him ignited in flames just because of the Ki he's emitting.
Beerus was stunned and his mouth was agape as he stared at Hazuki. 'What?! He's already 'that' powerful?!'
Even Whis was startled as he felt the God Ki Hazuki was currently wielding. "I wouldn't be surprised if you said you are a successor of a God of Destruction."
"Well, I wasn't planning on becoming one!" Then Hazuki suddenly appeared in front of Whis.
His stance was slow and his right fist was aiming towards Whis' solar plexus.
*Bang* Whis used his right arm to block Hazuki's punch with his left arm supporting it.
Hazuki punched with his right hand just as his right straight was blocked. He was aiming for Whis' face.
Whis tilted his head towards the right, dodging Hazuki's left punch. Now, Hazuki's body was open for Whis to see.
Whis twisted his left arm and gripped Hazuki's right arm. Then he pulled his right fist back and punched towards Hazuki's face.
Hazuki was quite scared by the punch going towards him. He could feel the concealed God Ki within that punch. If he got struck by that, then he'd surely suffer the greatest injury he will ever have since reincarnating.
Hazuki was already planning on using Kamui, but suddenly, he caught sight of Beerus within the distance. With his enhanced perception, he can feel that he only has 10 milliseconds to decide.
He immediately used Amenotejikara with Beerus and switched places with him.
*Boom!* Beerus' left cheek was struck by Whis' powerful strike. His whole figure was immediately thrown away. Along the way, Beerus' figure struck many trees and boulders before he was embedded on the castle wall.
Good thing Whis' instincts kicked at the moment Hazuki swapped with Beerus and held the fist back substantially. That strike was now only slightly more powerful than Goku's full-powered strike on his Blue state.
"Hoo! That's close!" Hazuki said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Whis laughed very loudly the moment Beerus struck the castle wall. His soft, mannered laugh was heard throughout the planet.
Whis held back his laughter then looked at Hazuki and said. "Although your joke is quite good, Hazuki-san, I don't know if Beerus-sama will also laugh."
"HAZUKI!! You bastard... Come out!!" Beerus flew out of the castle wall and levitated on the air. His enraged roar resounded throughout the planet as he searched for Hazuki's Ki signature.
Then he glanced at his previous location and saw Hazuki standing there, looking back at him.
"You bastard... I'll destroy you!" Beerus' left cheek was swollen. His left eye was also a little bit swollen due to the area of contact.
Beerus rushed towards Hazuki and the latter immediately ran away. Beerus fired off Ki blasts towards Hazuki as he chased after him.
Beerus chased after Hazuki for a few hours, even going as far as following Hazuki to earth.
In the end, Whis restored everything back to its previous state. He also healed Beerus' left cheek and apologized. But he knew he would never be able to restore Beerus' pride since the latter was seen by Goku and Vegeta chasing after Hazuki with a swollen face.
-----The next day.-----
'Lade Goddess, I request your presence.' Hazuki said.
He already bid everyone farewell and left many clones on Beerus' planet. They are continuing their training there since Hazuki would depart.
Long Lan was also forced to return inside the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. Right now, Long Lan can finally use Ki. Her Ki control wasn't that bad for 6 months of training and her prowess, just by using Ki, is comparable to Piccolo's.
Once again, Hazuki was pulled in the Goddess's personal space.
"Where do you plan on going now?" the Goddess asked.
"Lady Goddess, please return me to the Tales of demons and God's world, particularly inside Nie Li's Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountain's Painting." Hazuki said. Since he already went to that world, he doesn't need to worry about the Goddess's rejection.
"Granted. Okay, you may go." the Goddess' voice then disappeared.
Hazuki was enveloped in a golden light as he levitated from the ground.
A few seconds later, Hazuki opened his eyes and observed his surroundings. There were numerous mountains in the distance and there were many floating lakes on the skies. He was currently situated behind a boulder near the largest floating lake.
Hazuki could feel three presences inside this place. They should be: Xiao Yu, Goddess Yu Yan, and Jin Dan.
Suddenly, two additional presences entered his senses. He could feel that Lu Piao is the other presence since he's quite familiar with him, but he couldn't recognize the other. They are within three-hundred meters from Hazuki's spot.
Hazuki smirked as he thought of an idea to scare Lu Piao. He was concealing his presence the moment he arrived here in order to avoid Yu Yan's detection.
He used transformation Jutsu to himself and disguised himself with a Hannya mask. The demonic look on the hannya mask should be a perfect way to scare Lu Piao.
He used Amenotejikara on Gu Bei and switched places with him. Lu Piao was still wondering at the sight of the painting so he didn't notice Gu Bei disappearing beside him.
Hazuki wrapped his arms around Lu Piao's head as he whispered with his disguised eerie voice. "Nie Li became careless... To think he'd send an offering to me... I'll gladly absorb you two until your soul dissipates.."
Lu Piao was terrified by the voice. The arm around his neck slowly tightened and he could feel the aura of death surrounding him. He looked up and immediately saw the hannya mask looking down at him.
Gu Bei was currently puzzled. 'How did I get here..?' He looked around and searched for Lu Piao's figure.
"A-Ah!!" Lu Piao's terrified scream resounded throughout the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
Gu Bei, Yu Yan, and Xiao Yu were startled by the terrified scream. They immediately rushed towards the source of commotion to help Lu Piao.
The first one to arrive was Gu Bei. He saw Lu Piao getting choked by the 'Evil spirit' and shouted. "Release Lu Piao this instant!"
Then Xiao Yu and Yu Yan arrived after a few seconds.
"Who are you?! Release Lu Piao!" Xiao Yu shouted.
Though Yu Yan didn't utter a word of reprimand, her hands were already burning with golden fire. Ready to attack, the moment danger strikes.
"Don't worry, brat. After I'm done absorbing him, all of you will come next.." Hazuki replied. His eerie voice bringing terror to everyone who listens to it.
Though he was slightly scared, Gu Bei unsheathed his sword and aimed it at Hazuki. "Release Lu Piao! If not, we'll kill you!"
Hazuki didn't bother with them anymore and focused on Lu Piao. "So, how do you want to be absorbed. Lu Piao?" The latter part was said with his real voice.
Lu Piao was trembling in fear as he could feel the 'Evil spirit's' breath on his ears. He was even more terrified as he heard the 'absorb' word. He didn't even notice the change in Hazuki's voice.
Suddenly, a shout attracted everybody's attention. "Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"
Everyone's eyes landed on Nie Li. He arrived beside Gu Bei and the others as he said grimly, with a hint of threat. "Release Lu Piao this instant, or else, I'll kill no matter what!"
Hazuki then manipulated everyone's point of view as he aimed his mouth on Lu Piao's head and 'absorbed' Lu Piao in his Kamui dimension. After that, he burped as if satisfied with the 'meal'.
Everyone saw Lu Piao getting absorbed and they were enraged. Gu Bei was the first to strike since he's been brothers with Lu Piao for a few months now.
"How dare you..!" The ancestral sword intent formed in his hands as he threw it at Hazuki's head.
The sword intent traveled very quickly and appeared in front of Hazuki in an instant. But it didn't hit Hazuki, it phased through him and the sword intent disappeared after traveling for a few hundred meters.
"How...!" Gu Bei gritted his teeth.
He wanted to rush out together with Xiao Yu but they were stopped by Nie Li. "Stop!"
Gu Bei looked at Nie Li with a questioning gaze. Irritation could also be seen in his eyes as he said. "Nie Li, why?! He killed Lu Piao so why are you stopping me?!"
Nie Li looked at Gu Bei sternly and said. "Lu Piao's not dead. I don't know what he did but I could feel that Lu Piao's life force is still very strong through the array that connects our soul."
"You, what did you do? And who are you?" Nie Li asked calmly. Since he already perceived that the other party really didn't have ill-intent to them.
Hazuki suddenly appeared beside Nie Li and whispered with his real voice, "Guess."
The others were startled by Hazuki's sudden appearance beside them. They raised their weapons again and integrated with their demon spirits.
While everyone was on full alert, Nie Li was stunned. 'What..? Who...?'
"Nie Li, get away from him!!" Xiao Yu shouted worriedly.
Nie Li didn't respond and looked at Hazuki face to face.
Suddenly, Nie Li jumped in surprise as he looked at Hazuki. ".. Hazuki..?!"
Hazuki laughed as he used Deva's path to attract Nie Li to himself then he slapped the latter's head. "Took you long enough, idiot!" Then he canceled his transformation jutsu and revealed his true appearance.
At this time, he also released Long Lan from the Heavenly Punishing Ancestral Sword. She wanted to complain but the environment immediately stunned her. She tried probing the energy and she could feel that it's beneficial for the soul!
Everyone was stunned as they gazed at Hazuki. He doesn't look terrifying anymore and his facial features screams the word 'mysterious'. There's also the beautiful lady who suddenly appeared beside him. Both of them looked mysterious.
Nie Li looked at Hazuki with dissatisfaction after getting slapped in the head. ".. Why would you do that?!"
"More importantly.. how did you get in here?!" Nie Li asked. He should've been the only one that can access the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting! Moreover, Hazuki disappeared from the tiny world 2 years ago and since then, he hasn't heard anything from the man.
"Did you forget that I can travel dimensions? Of course, I barged in here myself after I sensed Lu Piao's presence." Hazuki boasted.
"Wait, wait! Nie Li, you know him?!" Gu Bei's shocked voice resounded.
Even Xiao Yu and Yu Yan expect an explanation from Nie Li as they stared at Hazuki with wariness.
"Yeah, he's a brother from Tiny World." Nie Li replied. Then he kicked Hazuki's shin and said. "Bring out Lu Piao! Why would you even scare him like that?"
Hazuki chuckled and replied. "Well, I just want to give Lu Piao a memory he'd never forget." Then he brought out Lu Piao from his Kamui Dimension.
As soon as he got out, Lu Piao immediately clung to Nie Li and cried. "Nie Li! That place is so scary!" Lu Piao shouted. He must've been terrified by the environment within Kamui's dimension.
Nie Li looked at Lu Piao, who's using his clothes to wipe his snot and tears, and slapped him on the head. "Why are you such a coward?! That's no evil spirit, that's Hazuki!" then pointed at Hazuki beside him.
Lu Piao looked at Hazuki and his tears suddenly stopped. "You bastard..! Why would you do that?! Is this something you'd do to a brother you haven't seen for 2 years?!"
Hazuki laughed and apologized to Lu Piao. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't know you'd be scared 'shitless'."
"Who's scared?!" Lu Piao asked with a straight face.
Even Xiao Yu and Gu Bei laughed at Lu Piao's denial. Gu Bei approached Lu Piao and wrapped his arms around him. "I thought you actually got absorbed..."
As he saw that they were already back to their previous attitudes, Hazuki placed his hands on Nie Li's shoulder and asked. "Nie Li, did you heed my advice?"
"Advice..?" Nie Li thought for a moment. A few seconds later, he finally recalled what Hazuki said to him.
Nie Li's face appeared quite pained. He looked at Hazuki and said, "I did. Even so, the Demon Lord was still able to kill him... The only thing I have left is Father-in-law's remnant soul and his body.."
Then Nie Li recalled what happened at that time. Demon Lord attacked the Glory City, demanding a certain Demon Spirit from Ye Mo. Ye Mo denied his plea and fought the Demon Lord together with Nie Li.
Nie Li ordered Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, Duan Jian, Du Ze, Lu Piao, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun, and Zhang Ming to surround Ye Zong and watch each other's back.
Due to that, the Demon Lord couldn't easily take a hostage and could only send out devastating attacks. Nie Li then used his Thunder God's meteorite sword and tried to kill the Demon Lord, but the latter escaped and was even able to execute a sneak attack on Ye Zong's head.
Ye Zong died and everyone was injured from that fight. Nie Li chased after the Demon Lord, but the latter was very slippery and escaped using a life-saving artifact.
"Do you have both Ye Zong's soul and remains right now?" Hazuki asked.
Nie Li absentmindedly replied. "Of course.. I had Ziyun freeze Ye Zong's remains and his body was stored in a separate interspatial ring.."
"Hand them over to me right now." Hazuki demanded.
"What are you even saying?" Nie Li asked somewhat irritated. Ye Zong's death became his biggest regret and sorrow. He prefers to avoid talking about him if possible.
"I can revive him right now. Don't you want to revive him as soon as possible?" Hazuki said.
Nie Li's eyes jumped as he stared at Hazuki seriously. "Are you sure?! Do you have a spring of life?!"
"Spring of life? What is that? I don't need those." Hazuki replied.
"If you don't even have the spring of life, how could you revive father-in-law?" Nie Li asked with dissatisfaction. .Why bother raising my hope's up?!
"Do you know the name of my eyes?" Hazuki manifested his rinnegan, pointed at it, and asked.
"Of course not. I've only seen it for a single time and that was before you entered that portal." Nie Li responded.
"Its name is 'Rinnegan' which literally means 'Samsara eye'. These eyes allow me to preside over life and death." Hazuki explained.
Nie Li was very shocked as he heard Hazuki's explanation. 'Preside over life and death?! That's a god-like ability..!'
"Preside over.. life and death..?" Gu Bei and the others were puzzled. 'What is he saying? Does he think he's some kind of god?
"Don't mind such small details. Hurry up and bring out Ye Zong's soul and remains." Hazuki ordered.
Nie Li hesitated but he decided to trust Hazuki. Ever since they met in the Tiny world, Hazuki has this kind of aura around him. Like he's some kind of divine being, unable to be understood with normal means.
Then he brought out a mirror and handed it to Hazuki. He also brought out a large block of Ice where Ye Zong's preserved body was stored.
Hazuki defrosted the ice and Ye Zong's body laid on the ground. Though Ye Zong is already dead 2 years ago, his body was still intact and didn't decompose due to the ice surrounding him. Ye Ziyun must have exhausted her powers just by creating it.
Everyone stared at Hazuki seriously and Nie Li observed him intensely. If he sensed even the little bit of mistake, he'd immediately act.
Hazuki then he pulled out Ye Zong's soul from the mirror and slammed it back on Ye Zong's body. Then Hazuki made a ram seal and said. "Gedo: Samsara of heavenly life technique!"
Suddenly, Ye Zong's body, which had been dead for 2 years, emitted a faint trace of life.
Hazuki immediately healed Ye Zong using the Nature energy. Immense vitality gathered on Ye Zong, healing all of his injuries.
Everyone around them was shocked. 'He.. revived someone?!'
They stared incredulously on the figure laying on the grass. Just a moment ago, he's nothing but a dead body. But now he's suddenly emitting a trace of life force?!
Of course, the most shocked of them all was Nie Li. He knew that there is a material that can revive someone, but that material is so rare that even if you searched for it your whole life, you might not find a trace of it!
But now, in front of his face, someone revived a person without the spring of life! Moreover, he relied on his bloodline ability to do that!
'Is Hazuki.. a descendant of a real deity..?!' Nie Li thought. Those eyes were so powerful and they must be something inherited from a godly being!
*Cough* *Cough* Ye Zong's body suddenly coughed. The next moment, Ye Zong raised his upper-body and muttered. "Where is this...?"
"Father-in-law!" Nie Li immediately cheered as he saw Ye Zong raising his upper-body up. Ye Zong was also emitting the aura of a living being!
"Nie Li..? What am I...?" Ye Zong asked. He looked at his palms and he could feel warmness flowing through his body.
'How could this be... I knew I was killed by a desperate attack from the Demon Lord... How could I be alive..' Then he looked around. The only people he could recognize are Nie Li, Hazuki, and Lu Piao. He couldn't recognize the other three, standing a few meters away with their mouths agape.
"Father-in-law! I never thought we'd be able to revive you this soon.!" Nie Li said as his eyes dripped with tears. Even though they are always against each other in the City Lord's mansion, he treats Ye Zong like his own father.
When he died, he was filled with guilt and regret. He felt guilty because he couldn't save Ye Zong even though he promised to save everyone!
Ye Zong looked at Nie Li with a gentle gaze. 'Looks like Ziyun was right about choosing this Brat...' He could feel Nie Li's sincerity through his tears and gladness.
Then he suddenly recalled Nie Li's words. There's a certain word there that stood out like a sore thumb, 'Revive'.
"Revive..?! There's such a thing?!" Ye Zong's startled voice resounded through the area. He stared at his palms and tried to circulate his Soul Force. '.. None..?! How could...?!'
"Why did my cultivation disappear?!" Ye Zong shouted in pain. He climbed his way towards Legend rank for 40+ years and now, all of it was gone?! Are you kidding me?!
Nie Li looked at Hazuki with puzzlement, asking for an explanation.
"I need to revive Ye Zong as a 'normal' human. If I revived Ye Zong with his cultivation intact, then it would be more difficult." Hazuki explained.
"You revived me?!" Ye Zong looked at Hazuki with shock. Just what kind of God is he?!
"Don't worry about losing your cultivation, father-in-law. In this place, cultivating to Legend rank can be done in a few weeks." Nie Li reassured.
Then Nie Li and the others talked with each other until the night. They recounted everything that happened in the last 2 years.
He also explained that the realm they are currently residing in is called 'Draconic Ruins Realm'. Each of them was accepted by different sects that's why only he and Lu Piao were around.
Ye Zong was happy that his daughter was able to enter one of the largest sects in the Draconic Ruins Realm.
After that, Nie Li gave Ye Zong a brand new Cultivation technique since his Cultivation was reset. It's named Primordial Blizzard technique, compatible with Ye Zong's Ice Kong soul form and blizzard soul attribute.
Long Lan also received a cultivation technique from Nie Li called Frost Dragon God's Domain. It's the most suitable technique for her Dragon God's soul form and Holy Water attribute.
Then Nie Li proposed to use the Sky Dragon Nine-Blazing secret technique array. He invited Hazuki and asked if he would like to enter the array with Gu Bei and Lu Piao.
Hazuki refused since he doesn't really need that. His cultivation will skyrocket later since Nie Li would be able to find several Divine Phaseless fruits. It's not a bad deal to receive a single fruit in exchange for reviving Ye Zong.
Then Hazuki cultivated near the High-ranked deity lakes and absorbed the spiritual stones inside it.
His cultivation was stuck in legend-rank for a few years, and this time he must reach the heavenly fate realm!
A vortex formed around him and the Heavenly energy around was also sucked by Hazuki.
His cultivation was unstoppable and his cultivation skyrocketed! In just a few hours, Hazuki immediately reached 1-Heavenly fate.
His cultivation lasted for three day's and at the end of it, he was already a 2-Heavenly fate.
'Time to deal with some things...' Then Hazuki stood up and approached Nie Li.
