As they were both busy with cultivating, they both lost track of time. Before they knew it, it was already late at night. The lunch Xiao Huoyan had prepared had turned cold hours ago."Hm?"
Tian Xin was surprised to see that it was already late at night, but what surprised her even more was her dear brother sitting on a nearby cloud… cultivating!
She couldn"t understand how he had already reached Middle Tier Pract.i.tioner. She knew that this was his first time cultivating!
She knew that he couldn"t have been here for more than a few hours at most.
There are nine realms in total; Pract.i.tioner, Spirit Master, Grand Spirit Master, Half Martial Emperor, Martial Emperor, Sky Realm, Heaven Realm, G.o.d Realm and Immortal.
Every realm has three tiers; Low, Middle and High.
The gap between every level is enormous even if they"re in the same realm.
For most people, it would take at least a few years to advance from the High Tier of a realm to the Low Tier of another, but that"s usually for the higher realms. Most of the commoners won"t even reach Low Tier Grand Master in their whole lives.
There was once a man who reached the Immortal Realm, but no one knows when it was nor who it was. The strongest people right now are The Five Protectors. They are all Middle Tier Heaven Realm Experts!
The only person who"d dare to go up against them would be The Golden Dragon, Jin Long!
Suddenly Xiao Huoyan let out a sigh and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw as he opened his eyes were Tian Xin flying towards him.
"Brother! Congratulations!"
"Hm? For what? It"s not my birthday now, is it?"
"You"re already a Middle Tier Pract.i.tioner!"
"Hm? I am?"
"YES!!"
"… Is that good?"
"HUUUH?!?!?"
"Just kidding. I already know about realms and stuff."
"You! How dare you trick me?!", Tian Xin yelled at her brother while pointing her finger towards him angrily.
Xiao Huoyan just smiled foolishly at his sister and quickly changed the topic.
"Uhm… eh… Congratulations!"
"Eh, what?"
"You"re already a High Tier Spirit Master! Congratulations!"

"You didn"t notice it before?"
"I did. I just didn"t know that it was normal for people to congratulate others just because of a breakthrough."
"What do you mean "just a breakthrough"?!"
"Nothing much. It"s just that it"s not really that special now, is it?"
"Of course, it"s special! Do you know how many people there"s out there who"d wish they could cultivate?!"
"Father Long said he wouldn"t be surprised even if I reached High Tier Sky Realm before I turned nine, so I just thought that it would be easy to--"
"Of course, it"s easy for you! You"re a genius!"
"Oh… am I?"
"Don"t play stupid with me!"
"Hahahaha, okay. Sorry sister!", Xiao Huoyan said while smiling foolishly.
Xiao Huoyan didn"t want his dear sister to feel envious of him advancing so fast, so he had deliberately hidden his cultivation. In fact, he had already become a Low Tier Spirit Master.
"So… brother?"
"Yes?"
"What was that thing around you?"
"What thing?"
"The thing you had around you when you were cultivating just a moment ago!"
"Oh, you mean the sphere made of my spirit essences?"
"So that"s what it was… Why did you create it?"
"I don"t know… I just did."
"Then, what did it do?"
"It helped me during the process of absorbing the energies."
" "Energies"? As in more than one energy? How many elements?!"
"Uhm… That"s hard to say…"
"Why?"
"Because I"m not really sure. I think it was all of them, but the sphere made the different energies turn into one single unique energy as soon as the energies pa.s.sed through the sphere while I was trying to absorb them."
"all of them?!"
"Yeah, I think so."
"Destiny"s truly unfair!"
"Don"t worry sis! I"ve prepared a gift for you!", Xiao Huoyan said while taking out something as big as an eyeball that looked like an orb made of dark purple gla.s.s.
It seemed as if flames was surging inside of it. It was truly beautiful.
"I-is that what I t-think it is?"
"No, it"s not edible."
"Y-you know that"s not what I meant!"
"Hahahaha, okay I know! You"re right. This is indeed Demonic Flame. Sit down, I"ll help you absorb it."
"…"
"What is it? You don"t like it?", Xiao Huoyan asked with a worried expression.
"No, that"s not it! It"s just that…"
"What?"
"Is it really worth it to give me your Demonic Flame just like that?"
"Don"t worry. You"re too weak to absorb all of it, so I"ll just give you enough for you to use. As soon as you absorb it, you"ll have it as your second spirit essence, but I can also keep the other part.
Giving you this much isn"t anything big really. It won"t affect me in any way! But for you it"s different. Just by absorbing this tiny orb, you"ll receive a second spirit essence, so of course it"s worth it.
Even if I were to give you all I have and become a cripple for the rest of my life, it"d still be wort it since you"d be happy… and strong enough to protect yourself at all times.
I truly take you as my dear sister, so don"t treat me like a stranger and just accept my gift already!"
Hearing all of this, Tian Xin was moved to tears. Her dear brother was willing to do anything for her happiness. Could she even wish for a better brother?
"I… Thank you!", Tian Xin said with a smile on her face.
Even though she was in tears, anyone could see that she was truly happy. Her smile was more beautiful than anything Xiao Huoyan had ever seen before. He couldn"t have gotten a better sister.
"It"s nothing! Just sit down so that I can help you absorb it already!"
"Okay… Thank you."
"Stop thanking me already. It"s weird seeing you so grateful. I didn"t do anything really. It"s just a small gift."
"… Still… Thank you… for everything."
