Chapter 487: Fie's Strange Phenomenons and Liriu's Path

Fie was now thirteen years old and was already looking like a beautiful little lady. Different from Krune, Fie's rainbow-like features really matched her appearance. There was no doubt that she would conquer some hearts once she goes out again.

However, there was a small problem that Little Arty had quite some issues dealing with a few months after Fie became twelve. Well... Fie is half a human, so her body pretty much worked as a female one. That being said, she had her first period...

Little Arty had received a lot of knowledge from his Master. It could be said that he was one of the best teachers in the Dalin Universe at the moment when it came to cultivation. However, nothing prepared him for this... special moment. Or to be more specific, he didn't know anything about it! First of all, why should an Artifact Spirit even know about the reproductive system of humans? Obviously, Little Arty's old Master did not include anything about this topic in his teachings. So he was completely lost because of that.

In the end, the girl and the artifact spirit were frightened when Fie's period arrived. Fie was still just 11 when she was brought into the Holy Land, so Feifei didn't have this conversation with her before. In fact, Feifei didn't even know if she should have talked about it or not. Once again, Fie is half-human, but half-wisp at the same time. So Feifei wasn't sure if she would have a female human's period during her life. Feifei was waiting for when it happened so then she could do the explanation. If it never happened, then there would be no point in talking about a woman's period.

Still, it didn't matter how many times Little Arty examined Fie's body, he simply couldn't find anything wrong with her health at all. However, this 'phenomenon' stopped by itself at some point... or so Fie and Little Arty thought. In the next month, the exact same thing happened. Little Arty even considered that Fie had some kind of disease that he couldn't detect.

Fie, too, was quite worried about this problem. But then came the third month, then the fourth, then the fifth... At some point, Little Arty thought that something wasn't right. How could be a disease that acts at such precise intervals and leaves no injure what so ever? At that point, he mentioned.

"Perhaps, this has something to do with the fact that you are half-human and half-wisp. Just wait for the day when I will send you to the 10th Floor. You should ask your father or mother if they know anything about it."

Without any other choice, Fie could only comply and be ready to clean herself every time this thing happened. Little Arty even prepared some 'sanitary pads' for her to use for these days of the month, which Fie gladly accepted since her 'disease' was really annoying.

Leaving this 'strange events' aside, in this last year, Fie was able to jump all the way to the 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. That meant a total of 6 stages! Not only that, but she was also close to entering the Soul Forging Realm. She was just waiting to get used to her cultivation before that.

Fie Laws also improved by leaps and bounds. Her Lightning Sub-Law, Lightning Essence, had already reached the Advanced Stage. Not to mention that she also grasped another one, Charge. This one was still in the Initial Stage, though.

One must remember that Fie doesn't have a Major Divine Soul, only the Elemental Meridians. So her accomplishments in the laws of Lightning are remarkable for her age and cultivation. Of course, a great part of the reason that she went this far was thanks to Little Arty.

She never lacked combat experience with the formations available for Little Arty to use. There was simply no one with a better cultivation environment than Fie at the moment. Sometimes, Little Arty even let her do real Life and Death battles against the fake enemies created by the formations! He knew that such experiences were necessary, so he went forward with it. Well, in fact, he would have intervened if she was really about to die, but he didn't tell her that.

"Little Arty, I think I will try to enter the Soul Forging Realm next week."

Little Arty's projection then appeared beside Fie.

"Out of the question. You are still not used to your cultivation, and it will take you at least another month to get ready for it. Your cultivation has been improving too fast for your own good. If not for the Godly Energy that prevents your foundation from becoming unstable, you would never be able to cultivate this quickly. Take your time and diggest everything you learned."

Fie couldn't help but say.

"But Father is almost ready to enter the 10th Floor, isn't he? If I don't make this breakthrough, I don't think I will be able to resist the Godly Energy there."

Little Arty then laughed.

"Hahaha! So that's what you are worried about? Don't worry, he will not leave the 10th Floor."

Fie was surprised to hear that.

"How do you know?"

"Isn't that simple? First, he will need some time to get used to the 10th Floor Godly Energy. So he won't move to the next one straight away. Second, I'm sure he already knows how the 10th Floor and the higher ones work. In that case, wouldn't he first wait for your mother to arrive on the 10th Floor too? I can guarantee that it will take even longer."

"Ah!"

Fie's eyes immediately brightened. What Little Arty said made a lot of sense.

"Great! Then I will do as you said. But if you notice that dad will change Floors, you must tell me!"

"Yea, yea... if that happens, I'll tell you."

Little Arty then disappeared once more.

In the past few days, Little Arty seldom showed himself unless Fie asked. Fie inquired about what he was doing, but he kept saying that he was just taking care of the Holy Land. Fie didn't really have a reason to doubt him, so she didn't complain.

Another little one who was doing quite well for himself was none other than Liriu! He really went to the Third Light Pillar and succeeded in passing it. Of course, Liriu's willpower wasn't anything that impressive. He was only 12 when he passed the test, and he did fail several times. What kind of willpower would you expect from a kid?

However, there was one thing that Liriu couldn't avoid. That was the power of his bloodline leaking out. Any reptile or dragon related race around him in the Third Pillar safe zone felt his presence. However, there was no one at that point anymore that knew about the Dracophoenix. Some of those demon beasts came to talk to him to see what was happening, but Liriu simply faked ignorance... or so he tried. Well, he wasn't very good at it.

Fortunately, no one could attack inside the safe zone. Also, Mian was still with him, so she helped Liriu deal with those demon beasts. In the end, they could only give up and ignore that uncomfortable sensation.

Not too surprisingly, Mian did not come to the same Dimensional Realm as Liriu. With those random floors, it would be too much of a coincidence if she did. However, Liriu's extended time on the lower levels was of great use. The number of high-level cultivators decreased a lot. One already couldn't find Void Breaking Realm below the 5th Floor anymore. Unless, of course, they stayed behind on purpose.

That being said, Liriu and his unsealed bloodline made him several times stronger than those at the same level. At least, compared with those who were also struggling on the same Floor as him.

He was now in the 8th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. But thanks to his Bloodline and Elemental Meridians, Liriu could even fight against a 3rd Stage Soul Forging Realm. If he just wanted to flee, not even a 5th stage could stop him. In fact, Liriu already encountered some cultivators and demon beasts like that. The majority would simply ignore him due to his cultivation. Others would attack to see if he had something good. So Liriu was able to get a good amount of combat experience. Another good thing is that these times alone honed his mind, so his naivety couldn't be found anymore.

Finally, there was his Fire Laws, which were improving even faster than Fie's Lightning Ones. Is was mainly due to his Dracophoenix Bloodline. Several races had a better affinity with certain elements. Tasier, for example, has an affinity with Lightning Laws. As for Liriu, it was the Fire Laws from his phoenix side.

The Explosion Sub-Law had surprisingly reached culmination! Not only that, but he was also able to grasp another two, Annihilation and Fire Essence. Annihilation was at the Intermediate Stage, while Fire Essence was in the Initial.

Last but not least, Liriu also created his own Domain based on his Fire Laws. Although it was a common one, the fact that he could create it on his own is already impressive. One must not forget that he is just 13 years old and doesn't have a wisp's mind.

At the moment, Liriu was cultivating once again. In fact, he even thought about moving to the 5th Floor straight away since he didn't feel any problem with the 4th Floor Godly Energy. But Mian had warned him against it. She told Liriu that his cultivation was too low. The higher he goes, the stronger the opponents. He shouldn't enter that place before the Soul Forging Realm.

Mian could not lie to Liriu due to the control of the Dracophoenix bloodline. In fact, she couldn't even have thoughts about it. Thanks to that, Liriu was able to keep himself safer to a certain degree. That being said, Liriu followed Mian's warning and decided not to enter the 5th Floor before the Soul Forging Realm.

Back on Krune's side, a month quickly went by, and he had finally decided to enter the 10th Floor.
