The island they lived on was also exceedingly vast, merely a bit smaller than the island of the Sha Family.
The entire island was like a city, with a large population and thriving commerce.
The Huang Family, too, was a prosperous clan.
With top warriors and elites of the Sha Family, the Li Family, and the Hai Family all wiped out, the Huang Family became the most intact in strength. All that was needed was for Huang Feihu to proceed cautiously and steadily, and he could become the most powerful overlord in the tumultuous sea region.
The arrival of Xiao Yi and his party also busied the Huang Family up and down.
This was a ruthless man who had the power to annihilate the Sha Family, the Li Family, the Hai Family, Three Blade Mountain, and the Shark Pirate Group all on his own.
As long as they could forge a relationship with Xiao Yi,
No one would dare to provoke the Huang Family in the future.
Huang Feihu specially set up a banquet to welcome and refresh Xiao Yi and his two companions.
After all, as their guest, and considering Xiao Yi's desire to cultivate the spirit of longevity, he needed to purchase a vast amount of Spirit Veins, treasures, and more. All these had to be procured through the Huang Family, so naturally, they could not afford to snub his face.
This was why he agreed to attend the banquet.
Many distinguished guests filled the room, and the atmosphere was jubilant.
Round about Xiao Yi there were always women vying for attention. Whether it was the Huang Family, or the leading forces, families, and firms from within the city, they all brought their daughters to the dinner, coquetting and dancing, all in hopes of catching Xiao Yi's eye.
Even if just for a night of pleasure.
Afterward, they could claim the allegiance to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had absolutely no interest in these women.
He could only excuse himself and retreat to a quiet spot in the courtyard for a while.
A gentle voice came to his ears, and walking towards him was a handsome and extraordinary young man, more beautiful than Pan An. This was Huang Feihu's youngest son, Huang Tianfang, whose talent for cultivation was by no means weak; at 26 or 27, he was close to Nirvana.
Huang Tianfang approached Xiao Yi, and pointing to a spot beside him, asked, "May I sit here?"
Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
He did not dis handsome and graceful young master of the Huang Family.
The reason he had managed to escape earlier was thanks to Huang Tianfang's help.
He would still be in the midst of those women!
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Why have you come out too?"
"I don't like staying with them. I prefer the company of strong, masculine men!" While speaking, Huang Tianfang's watery eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi, and his face turned unconsciously red.
Under Huang Tianfang's intense gaze, Xiao Yi couldn't help but shiver all over.
Why does it feel so chilly in the middle of summer?
Xiao Yi touched his nose and instinctively moved a little further from Huang Tianfang, but Huang Tianfang followed suit, closing the distance between them once more. Only then did Xiao Yi notice the faint fragrance on him, a scent usually found on women.
It was rather disconcerting to find it on a man, and it made Xiao Yi uncomfortable. Clearing his throat, he said, "Well... it seems Mr. Huang is calling for me!"
Huang Tianfang swiftly moved to block Xiao Yi, spreading his arms wide, his gaze burning as he looked at him. His crimson tongue flicked out, lightly licking the corner of his mouth. With a longing expression, he said, "Why are you avoiding me? Xiao Yi, I... I've liked you since the moment I saw you. Can we... be together?"
Xiao Yi was utterly discomposed and responded, "Please, you're a man..."
"Don't mind those details. Whatever those women have, I can also provide, and what they lack, I can provide too. Really, if you just agree to be with me, I am willing to give up the whole world for you, willing to change... to become the one you like the most!" Huang Tianfang persisted, closing in step by step.
Even when facing super-powerful beings from the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, Xiao Yi never cowered.
Faced with the fiery gaze of Huang Tianfang, who looked as though he was about to devour him, he chickened out.
Xiao Yi said with a wry smile, "Huang Tianfang, what on earth do you like about me? Isn't it enough that I changed?"
Huang Tianfang threw a coquettish glance at Xiao Yi, "I like that you're alive!"
"Xiao Yi, just say yes to me, please!" Huang Tianfang, feigning a delicate air, sent a flirtatious blink Xiao Yi's way.
Ball his fists, Xiao Yi struggled to restrain the urge to punch him flying and took a deep breath, "Huang Tianfang, please keep your distance from me in the future. If this continues, I can't guarantee I won't kill you!"
"No, even if it means death, I want to be with you. Xiao Yi..." Huang Tianfang opened his arms, and went in for a hug.
Xiao Yi couldn't hold back anymore, and with a slap, he sent Huang Tianfang flying.
With a face as dark as coal, he headed towards the hall.
Seeing Xiao Yi's somber visage, Huang Feihu wondered who had the misfortune of provoking this devil and quickly approached him, "Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"
Taking a deep breath, although disgusted by Huang Tianfang, Xiao Yi knew Huang Feihu had always treated him well, he replied, "Mr. Huang, is the cultivation chamber you promised me ready?"
"It's been prepared. Are you wanting to go there now?" Huang Feihu asked with confusion.
Xiao Yi nodded, "Have someone take me there, please!"
Huang Feihu nodded and summoned the butler to lead Xiao Yi away.
As he was about to leave the banquet hall, a shrill voice cried out from behind him, "Xiao Yi, you're mine! No one can take you away from me..."
Xiao Yi stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.
His face darkened, he urged the butler to hurry and take him away.
Inside the banquet hall.
All eyes were wide with surprise.
The whole city knew of the little princess of the Huang Family's penchant for men.
But they never expected Huang Tianfang to be so brazen.
To confess to Xiao Yi in public?
A mouthful of strong liquor sprayed from Huang Feihu's mouth, his face as red as his ears, he glared at Huang Tianfang, sorrowfully and furiously bellowing, "Rebellious child, rebellious child..."
Inside the cultivation chamber.
Xiao Yi sat crossed-legged, taking out the golden plate of "All Paths as One."
"According to 'All Paths as One,' one must cultivate all nine diagrams of the Heaven-reaching Divine Record, Heaven-reaching Physical Record, and Heaven-reaching Skill Record to their utmost limits before one can truly advance to the Nirvana Realm," he mused.
Xiao Yi's eyes gleamed, "Although I can't immediately step into the Nirvana Realm in terms of cultivation level, each diagram I cultivate is like experiencing a Nirvana. Once I cultivate all of them to their limits, then my state will be that of the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, and once I enter Nirvana, it will be at the Nirvana Peak!"
Ordinary Spiritual Nirvana requires vast amounts of time and effort to accumulate and enhance spiritual power.
Thus, undergoing Nirvana slowly, time after time.
That means one must endure nine Nirvana Heart Tribulations.
Yet, the "All Paths as One" that Xiao Yi was practicing only required one to perfect all three records at once, and then surpass the strongest Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation in one go!
Although he had fewer tribulations, this did not lessen the enhancement of his strength!
Others could only undergo Nirvana up to nine times.
He, by following three paths, would experience the equivalent of twenty-seven Nirvanas, plus the empowerment of the strongest Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation was akin to twenty-eight Nirvanas. That is the heaven-defying nature of "All Paths as One"!
It not only allows one to walk three paths simultaneously!
But also to far exceed those of the same realm.
Having already cultivated the sixth diagram of both the Heaven-reaching Divine Record and the Heaven-reaching Physical Record, which equates to experiencing six rounds of Spiritual Nirvana and six rounds of Physical Nirvana, Xiao Yi could slaughter any common practitioner of the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs. "There are ten days left before the one-month deadline, Xiao Tianjiao. Ten days from now, it will be our decisive battle!"
