Obsessed in Cultivation! . . .
The generals were all secretly relieved. [Young Commander Cha is truly an exceptional figure. We're fortunate! If he were indeed the villain the rumors claim, being pampered by his father like this, he would have become a tyrant in the kingdom...]
That was the truth.
Cha Nantian, though a heroic figure, had doted on Cha Eun Xiao excessively. Even when Cha Eun Xiao was behaving extravagantly as one of the three lords in town, Cha Nantian had been reluctant to discipline him.
In Cha Nantian's heart, he carried a deep sense of guilt towards his wife. His love for his son exceeded the love for his own life, as Cha Eun Xiao was also his wife's child. To atone for his wife's suffering and to ensure his son's happiness, he had showered Cha Eun Xiao with affection.
In his heart, he would rather meet a swift demise than allow his son to feel wronged. This was Cha Nantian's greatest vulnerability. If Cha Eun Xiao had not been possessed by the Xiao Monarch, he might have grown into an arrogant scoundrel.
No, in truth, if the Xiao Monarch hadn't taken possession of him, he might not have survived for long. His death would have spelled the collapse of the Kingdom of Chen and perhaps even the entire Land of Han-Yang. Cha Nantian's real power exceeded the limits of this world. If he were to unleash his power in an outburst of fury, the world might not withstand the force of his attacks. It could very well lead to its ruination.
In this sense, the Xiao Monarch had arrived in this world at precisely the right moment. He indirectly saved the Land of Han-Yang!
Cha Nantian was a father who loved his son immensely. However, the weight of his love was so great that it had the potential to ruin everything.
His love was heartwarming, yet it was misguided. Once it lost its balance, it had the potential to lead to unimaginable catastrophe.
Chaos? The destruction of the world?
Perhaps!
Nevertheless, anyone with a father like him, regardless of the consequences, would find happiness in the life they lived!
...
Cha Eun Xiao was safe, and Cha Nantian felt a wave of relief. He allowed his army to slow down on the journey back.
Moreover, he had to make preparations in case anyone in the capital was indeed scheming against his son... He would show them no mercy and deal with them ruthlessly...
...
For the past few days, Cha Eun Xiao had been entirely engrossed in his cultivation!
The Cosmic Hades had emitted a vast amount of cold energy, even more than when it created that ice mountain. While the fire had been extinguished, and the land had been blanketed with ice, this was only a fraction of the energy it had released this time.
Cha Eun Xiao, now considerably stronger, absorbed a large portion of the cold energy, but the problem was far from resolved.
There was still an enormous amount of cold energy lingering in the Boundless Space. Fortunately, despite being pushed to its limits on multiple occasions, the Boundless Space managed to contain it all.
Once the battle was settled, Cha Eun Xiao couldn't wait to enter the Boundless Space to manage the colossal volume of cold energy.
He was particularly eager because, on one hand, he needed to address the cold energy generated by the Cosmic Hades, and on the other hand, he wished to check on Brother Egg.
The primary reason he had participated in the war was because Brother Egg required a substantial amount of soul power. Since he couldn't obtain superior-quality soul power, he had to collect as much as he could from the battlefield.
Now, Brother Egg had accumulated a significant amount of energy and had entered an exceptionally peculiar state.
The patterns on Brother Egg's shell appeared to be in constant flux, exhibiting an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of colors and glows.
It was as though the shell harbored several celestial stars, casting an entrancing radiance across the entire Space, rendering it a realm of color and mystery. At regular intervals of every hour, a brilliant starlight would streak across the surface of the shell, indicating a transformation in the star pattern.
Hour by hour, the starry image underwent continuous alterations...
With each transformation of the star pattern, the intricate patterns etched on the shell would radiate a multitude of times. Countless diverse species of animals would momentarily manifest upon the surface before vanishing into obscurity.
In the span of just three days, nearly a billion distinct living creatures had manifested upon the shell.
Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but feel utterly astounded.
[Brother Egg... you truly are a miraculous and world-altering being!]
Cha Eun Xiao's anticipation of Brother Egg's eventual transformation continued to mount.
For the past few days, Brother Egg had remained silent. It hadn't absorbed any cold energy or intervened with the Cosmic Hades. Cha Eun Xiao was left to grapple with the extreme cold energy on his own.
Confronted with the relentless onslaught of frigid energy, Cha Eun Xiao found it to be a daunting challenge to endure. Nonetheless, daunting didn't equate to impossible. He needed a considerable power boost before he could advance to the pinnacle of the Sky Origin Stage, and this entailed absorbing ample energy.
He was diligently toiling within the Space to process the cold energy, remaining stationary for three uninterrupted days.
Whenever exhaustion crept in, he would open his eyes and glance at Brother Egg. Following this, he would resume his absorption and digestion of the energy.
The East-rising Purple Qi operated ceaselessly at full capacity, transferring the cold energy into Cha Eun Xiao's dantian. Yin and Yang energy within Cha Eun Xiao continued to burgeon, and his strength surged relentlessly.
Under the relentless surge of the extreme cold energy, Cha Eun Xiao's progress was occurring at an unprecedented pace.
He had to be swift in his progress, unless he wished for the Wood Space to be devastated once more...
Cha Eun Xiao was well aware that the Boundless Space had its limitations in containing the extreme cold energy. This was precisely why he had refrained from using the Cosmic Hades to generate cold energy on most occasions.
