Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1028: Development After Coming to Deity Land

After Hou-Jie finished tidying up the mess, he had the giant monkey take him to the race's Elder Council. When the members of the Elder Council first saw Hou-Jie, they were all shocked. But when they regained their senses, their shock was replaced with joy.

However, when the Elder Council learned of what had happened to Hou-Jie, including the reason why he disappeared, they were even more shocked and did not expect something like this could happen. Especially the matter of Hou-Jie's energy level, which had dropped to such a low level.

"Although my energy level has been reduced to Deity Apprentice Stage, soon it'll return to its original state because now I have returned to Deity Land!" Hou-Jie knew what the other monkeys were thinking. So, he reassured everyone about his energy level being limited by some kind of sealed spell. But when he was able to return to Deity Land, his energy level would gradually recover and slowly increase.

"Then what about the problem with Lord Lion of Desert Cliff, sir?" asked the oldest elder monkey with concern.

Hmm!

"As for Lord Lion of Desert Cliff, we still can't do anything. Even though he previously had a lower energy level than I, now my energy level has decreased. And if he knew that, he definitely wouldn't hesitate to attack us. If possible, I'd like to seal off our territory. And let our people spread the news that we're going to hold a ritual to worship our ancestors!" Hou-Jie pondered for a moment upon this. He thought that they would have to make up some stories and seal off their territory for the time being.

"We understand, sir, Lord Monster Deity! And what about the humans who came with you?" the elder monkey nodded, before asking about the group of people accompanying Hou-Jie.

"They're my comrades. And they're on the same side as us. I'll take care of them myself! You guys go take care of what I told you to do," Monkey Hou-Jie replied. He was not normally this kind of person. Previously, he tended to be indifferent to others and did not have many comrades. Moreover, he was arrogant and proud of himself. But now he had changed. Since meeting Zheng-Fu and living with Ba-Ong and Master Heim for a long time, his socialization was so much better.

"Yes, sir, Lord Monster Deity!!!"

After finishing talking with the Elder Council, Hou-Jie returned to everyone in the large cave hall. He then took them to choose the rooms. But actually, they could not be called the rooms because those places were just holes in a cave that were neither very big nor very small. There was also no furniture other than a stone platform that was covered with hay instead of a mattress.

But even so, everyone could accept it. Even Mie-Xiang-Qi did not complain in the slightest. Since she had already prepared for this kind of situation. She had a mattress and the things she would need in her dimensional ring. So, as long as she had space to place them, she would not have any problems.

The next morning...

Hou-Jie went out to explore the area with his Golden Monkey Race men. He had not been there for many years; many things must have changed. So, he had to go out to look and collect all the data that was necessary.

From what he learned from the elder monkeys, his Golden Monkey Race had greatly deteriorated in his absence. Moreover, many parts of his land were seized by the Deity Monarch Stage Grandmasters who ruled the surrounding area. They had to compromise to protect his Golden Monkey Race.

"Lord Monster Deity, currently the person who is the local lord of this region is Lion King Shen-Dung. Because he has an energy level at the sixth level of the Deity Monarch Stage, and was able to combine three Lion Races to become one. It made their Lion Race the biggest and strongest. Even Bull King Xi-Long of Emerald Cave Palace couldn't cope with them!" an elder golden monkey said in a serious tone. And he felt very sad when talking about it.

"The Lion Race guys are ambitious. They're waiting for the time to become great. In the past, the obstacle they had was not being able to unite as one. But now that they can be united, their race becomes much stronger!" Hou-Jie knew and understood the story that the elder golden monkey told very well. Because he remembered the ferocity and brutality of the Lion Race. If it were not for the fact that they were fighting over each other. His Golden Monkey Race probably would not become the ruler race.

"Anyway, now Lord Monster Deity has returned, they can't do anything to us anymore. Our Golden Monkey Race will be great again!" the giant monkey who was behind him proudly interjected. He was delighted and very happy to see that his Golden Monkey Race would rise above all races in this territory once again.

"Don't be too happy just yet. Even though I have returned, my current energy level cannot do anything to them. On the other hand, if they found out about my energy level being reduced, they might use this opportunity to wipe us out. Therefore, I'd like to order everyone not to talk about me. And don't go anywhere during this time if it's not necessary!" Hou-Jie understood the giant monkey's feelings. But he had to extinguish the other party's thoughts and hopes. Because he was still too weak to do anything.

"Yes, sir, Lord Monster Deity!"

"By the way, has Master Zheng-Fu come out of the cultivating room yet?" It was then that Hou-Jie realized that he still had not seen Zheng-Fu today. Therefore, he asked the people who knew about this matter.

"Not yet, sir! He was still in the cultivating room from yesterday until now. And the room is very quiet!" A middle-aged Monkey walked forward and reported to Hou-Jie

Umm!

"Thank you very much! Then let someone go watch over Master. In case he needs anything, we can arrange it for him in time!" Hou-Jie nodded before ordering one of the monkeys to guard the entrance of Zheng-Fu's cultivating room.

"Yes, sir, Lord Monster Deity!"

Inside the cultivating room that Hou-Jie arranged for Zheng-Fu...

Aaaaaaaaa!!!

Boooooom!!!

After Zheng-Fu entered the cultivating room yesterday, he immediately placed a sound seal spell and strengthened the wall. Because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen while he was absorbing the energy that the Fire Bird Monster Deity had passed on to him. And as one day passed, what he had thought of actually happened.

This morning, the energy wave that was slowly spreading around him began to spin faster and crazier, like a terrifying desert storm. And it was flowing in too much. This caused the pain and pressure to increase more and more until Zheng-Fu could not resist and cried out. As well as unconsciously releasing his energy to attack the surrounding walls.

'I never thought that on the second day, the energy would increase to such a scary level. If I can't manage this energy today and tomorrow, it'll increase even more, I'm definitely going to explode!' Zheng-Fu was very worried and troubled. He did not think the energy flowing into him would be fierce like this.

Whooooosh!!!

Boooooom! Boooooom! Boooooom!

Boooooooooom!!!

The second level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage!

Not long after, Zheng-Fu's energy level suddenly increased by another level unconsciously.

Aaaaaah!

Phuuuuuuu!!!

After his energy level broke through to the second level, the pain and pressure he had experienced before decreased. He was able to breathe more steadily. And the energy waves that were sent seemed to be lighter, too.

"It's not at all what I thought before. Or was it because I was close to breaking through to the next level, energy was rushed to allow me to break through easily?" Zheng-Fu began to think again. Because of this sudden change, he was not sure which idea was correct.

"Never mind! No matter what, I must become even stronger!" But Zheng-Fu soon put these thoughts aside. Because even if he thought like that, it would not help him in any way. The most important thing right now was to increase his energy level and strength even more.

Thump!

Whooooosh!!!

After Zheng-Fu made a firm decision, he began to absorb energy again intently. This time, he tried to speed up the absorption because he did not want to waste any more time.

Two months passed. In the large cave hall...

Sigh!!!

"It's been two months, why hasn't Second Brother come out of the cultivating room? Or is something happening to him?" Ba-Ong shouted with concern. Because he had been waiting for Zheng-Fu to come out of the cultivating room for two months.

"Calm down, Ba-Ong! Someone like Master, nothing can happen to him easily. Maybe he's breaking through the energy stages right now." Hou-Jie, who was normally a nonsensically talkative person, had now become calmer and comforted Ba-Ong. But in reality, his deepest feelings were also worried. Only he did not say it.

"It's right as what Hou-Jie said! I believe Zheng-Fu is fine. It's very difficult for someone like him to die!" Mie-Xiang-Qi thought the same as Hou-Jie. She was confident that Zheng-Fu would be fine.

"Yes! When Master comes out of this cultivation, I think his energy level will definitely increase a lot. All of us who were ahead of him will no longer be able to keep up with him!" Master Heim also tried to console Ba-Ong with words of comfort. He was also worried about Zheng-Fu, but he believed in Zheng-Fu more.

Umm!

"It's true! What am I worrying about!? It's so unreasonable! Second Brother has both talents and high abilities. Nothing bad can happen to someone like him!" Ba-Ong nodded lightly, blaming himself for thinking nonsense. Before he changed the topic, "By the way, in these past two months, it seems like our energy level has increased quite a bit. It was different from when we lived in the previous world. There, we could hardly sense the energy needed for development!"

"It absolutely has to be that way, Ba-Ong! Here is Deity Land! The energy here is both pure and rich, and extraordinary. It's not as light as in the Small World or the Gravel World!" Hou-Jie explained with a proud expression. Because ever since he returned to Deity Land, his energy level had increased very quickly. Previously, he was at the second level of the Deity Apprentice Stage; now, he had already been at the fifth level.

As for Ba-Ong and Master Heim, they quickly advanced to the third level with the help of the cultivation technique given by Zheng-Fu. But even so, the two of them were still two levels lower than Hou-Jie. That was because Hou-Jie's original energy level was already high but was suppressed. Now he was free from that suppression, so Hou-Jie could increase his energy level faster.

After all, Jin-Tian had the greatest development. Because in just two months, he could make himself break through to another stage. From originally at the seventh level of the Deity Apprentice Stage, he had now moved up to the first level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage.

And the last one was Mie-Xiang-Qi. She developed more slowly than the others. Because her cultivation technique was not as good as Master Heim, Ba-Ong, Jin-Tian, and Hou-Jie's. Her energy level only increased by one level, that was, rising from the first level to the second level of the Deity Apprentice Stage.
