Chapter 613: Daoist Robe of Heavenly Feather Light

"One breath, one layer of the heavens!"

"Two breaths, two layers of the heavens!"

"In fifteen minutes, seven layers of the heavens!"

"After a day of cultivation, reaching twelve layers of the heavens!"

"And within a year, he has reached twenty-three layers of the heavens, about to break into the twenty-fourth layer. The fastest record within the clan took a full two thousand three hundred years to reach twenty-four layers, nearly using up half of their lifespan. There was no possibility of progressing further…"

Qing Kong murmured to herself, filled with surprise and joy.

She had to admit that within just a year, her understanding had been completely shattered. Liu Sheng’s talent was simply extraordinary, directly reaching what she believed to be the pinnacle. She herself had only cultivated to the twenty-fourth layer and had suppressed all rivals from her clan, becoming the leader of her tribe.

Now that Liu Sheng had reached such a high level, simply by following the steps of cultivation, he would eventually surpass her and gain an unbeatable physique.

"Each layer of the Whirlpool Dao Law actually enhances the effects of body refinement rather than directly granting power. The higher the realm, the faster the speed at which the Dao Law increases bodily strength. Cultivating for a thousand years in the twenty-fourth layer can even allow you to contend with the Royal Path, truly a method of invincibility!"

"Liu Sheng, you cannot stay within the clan any longer. The resources in the Celestial Realm have been exhausted. To continue advancing, you must go to the Red Heaven realm."

Qing Kong informed Yun Ye, noting that besides the depletion of resources, his rapid growth was also a contributing factor.

Breaking through the barrier set by that deity was not simple, and if his power grew too strong, his mass would also increase, making it harder to reach the Red Heaven realm.

He already had the strength to protect himself, but he was not too overwhelming at this moment, making it the best time for him to leave.

"Prepare yourself. In three days, you will head to the Red Heaven realm!"

…

Yun Ye had only been cultivating in the Celestial Realm for about a year. During this time, the resources of the entire Celestial Realm hadn’t changed much, but the unbeatable elders within the realm also needed resources and could not allow Yun Ye to continue devouring endlessly.

Moreover, as long as he stayed in the Celestial Realm, Yun Ye would consume fortune at an alarming rate. Qing Kong, being the one closest to him, was constantly losing vast amounts of fortune.

This was the price of controlling a Daoist.

For a short time, Qing Kong and the others were not overly concerned. This was the Qing celestial clan, rich in treasures. Naturally, they possessed high-ranking treasures to suppress fortune and prevent its loss.

Otherwise, even if Qing Kong had immense fortune, she could not sustain keeping Yun Ye by her side indefinitely.

However, this suppression of fortune had its limits; it couldn’t be maintained forever. Once the suppression failed, the backlash of fortune would be severe.

According to their calculations, after crossing into another world, the loss of fortune would drop to one ten-thousandth of the original amount.

As the Daoist’s strength increased, this loss would gradually rise but could never reach its previous height, having little impact on the celestial clans.

The celestial clan still had its foundations. Ordinary innate abilities were not enough to pose a threat, even if they were abandoned by destiny; the power and resources of the celestial clan at its peak could find a way out before completely declining, such as becoming a True Immortal or modifying rules beneficial to themselves.

"In one year, aside from cultivation, I have also absorbed various philosophies and strengthened control intensity. I have truly witnessed a variety of control methods…"

"Bodily curse, a curse launched based on genetic templates, striking comprehensively and controlling; those who resist will experience genetic collapse."

"Soul lock oath, covering the soul with layers of chains. Though it doesn’t grow to the point of affecting cultivation, once violated, the soul will immediately face pollution, making further cultivation impossible."

"Four elements divide space, using special means to split the body into four parts. Once the Techniques are activated, the four elements are immediately separated, making it impossible to form the unbeatable Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire or Opening Heaven and Earth."

Yun Ye slightly shook his head.

With so many various control methods, if not for his unbeatable physique, simply enduring these constraints would make it nearly impossible for him to progress, let alone cultivate or sweep through enemies. It truly was a challenging situation.

One in ten thousand.

This is the power he has roughly remaining.

If he wants to unleash more strength, he must have the celestial clans remove the restrictions and sealing. From these restraints, one can see that the celestial clans are extremely wary of him, as if they have been bitten by a snake and fear the well rope for years.

After all, the Divine Master of the Heavenly Stem is a figure from ten thousand years ago, and the celestial clans understand all too well how strong he was in his previous life after inadvertently allowing such a character to grow.

Any mistake could lead to the destruction of their clan; thus, restrictions are necessary no matter what.

Yun Ye himself wouldn’t believe that a naturally gifted being, who had only lived in the Celestial Realm for a year, could truly bind such a person with mere philosophy or emotions.

The celestial clans, unable to foresee the future, had no answers, so they chose the safest method, even if it would invite hatred or disdain.

In the following three heavens, Yun Ye did nothing but wait.

On the third day, Qing Kong arrived, bringing a blue Daoist robe.

The robe was very complex and ornate, giving an overall heavy feeling, as if only someone of high status could wear it. When Yun Ye took it, the robe shrank naturally to fit his form.

From its appearance, this Daoist robe was extraordinary, enveloped in a blue glow. There were feather-like light patterns on its shoulders, cuffs, and hem, providing a sense of absolute protection; it was indeed a top-tier protective treasure.

The robe did not collide with his body; instead, it directly merged with Yun Ye upon contact, making it a wonderful and convenient experience to wear.

"This is the Daoist Robe of Heavenly Feather Light, crafted from countless techniques. Every thread possesses supreme power. Once assembled into this robe, even an Honored Being cannot harm you in the slightest. It is an unimaginable treasure. During this journey to the Red Heaven realm, rely solely on this treasure to protect you. You must not remove this robe for even a moment!"

"Must I never remove this robe for even a moment? That does not seem extraordinarily attention-grabbing." Yun Ye concealed the Light Feathers and withdrew his true form.

When the Daoist Robe of Heavenly Feather Light lost its brilliance, it became just an ordinary garment; cultivators do not only judge an object by its appearance.

"Hmm, Liu Sheng, you look proper in whatever you wear. Remember, no matter the reason, you must not take off this robe."

Qing Kong advised again, even setting up restrictions to prevent the possibility of Yun Ye removing the robe under the influence of Spirit Law.

Though the Daoist Robe of Heavenly Feather Light was powerful, it was not omnipotent. Its resistance to Spirit Law was weak. If half of an Honored Being’s strength could be negated by the robe, the Spirit Law constituted a small portion of the power that could not be countered.

"I will remember."

Yun Ye replied.

Next, Qing Kong took Yun Ye to the Qing Clan’s celestial palace.

There was a transmission array rumored to traverse worlds. After laying Yun Ye on the transmission array altar, she began to perform various seals and protections.

Gradually, Yun Ye’s consciousness dimmed under the myriad seals.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Yun Ye woke up with a jolt from the vibrations.

Upon lifting his head, the vast expanse of stars informed him that he had arrived in the Red Heaven realm…

The Celestial Realm had no stars, nor sun or moon.
