“I think that this is related to the training session that Her Highness said earlier.” Wu Qing said with an understanding.
“Oh, right, she really mentions it. And here we are, troubling ourselves with the failed process.” Manstein sighed because this time he failed. That was the thing he would do when something did not end up like he expected.
“And sorry for my previous words.” Manstein continued.
“It’s alright. I think I will adapt myself with the special situation Elder Brother has now. And did you know that Elder Brother will say one or two things that he supposed to keep in his mind?” Ye Xiabai looked at them with a wry smile.
“Argh, it happened again!” Manstein covered his face entirely. Even he still remembered that when he was deep in his work, he let out words that he thought. It included his colleague, partner and everyone that had once worked with him.
“And wait a moment, why all of you call me ‘ Elder Brother’?” when he realized that even Ye Xiaobai called him with the same title, Manstein wanted to know the reason behind it!
“Maybe because you are the oldest of the younger generation?” said Wu Qing.
“And I wonder how will they pass the training session?” continued Wu Qing and soon even Ye Xiaobai and Manstein looked at the same direction.
‘He does have a great potential ahead. But to think that I need to learn The Gene Imprinting Method first.’ Manstein thought.
It was actually important to remember that to create a body in this world, someone needed astronomical efforts. It also included resources, knowledge as well as good cultivation. But The Gene Imprinting Method only needed the resources and good cultivation.
And the standard was lower, making it the better choice for those Body Creation experts like Hou Fei.
“Because of what happened here, we better move to the new room first. I don’t want to disturb anyone today.” Manstein suggested.
“Oh right. I suddenly feel the urge to learn. Elder Brother, why don’t we discuss this together with Sister Wu?” said Ye Xiaobai.
“What kind of motivation do you have now? Don’t tell me something from the previous incident gave you enlightenment?” Manstein looked at him with his eyes stared wide. Even he could not digest the content in that method so quickly but the young man in front of him already grasped the surface of it!
Then Ye Xiaobai moved every single property that both he and Manstein used previously to another room.
“Come on! Let me hear the opinion of Sister Wu who is famous across the continent!” with that, he urged them to follow him to the new room. At least, he said beforehand that he needed two rooms and that became a good decision.
“Really?” Wu Qing did not have anything to refuse to the young man’s enthusiasm. As for Manstein, he stopped his step and looked at a certain place before he followed them.

“The scariest thing is not the fact that he still survived for this long!” Theresa now wore a fighting suit that looked fit to her human form. Her yellow hair now fluttered as her energy radiated from her.
In front of her, there was a young man who was merged in the deep honey that full of qi. The man kept punching, kicking and attacking with every power he had. His eyes looked more savage and ferocious as he opened his mouth to shout but he was currently in the depth of the container that full of honey.
Beside Theresa, Alice had to use her temporal form to made appearance. Although she really did not want to worry Manstein because every time she used this, she would spend her soul energy and that was something Manstein did not allow!
‘Sorry, but this is my responsibility to repay the debt I have with Ye family.’ Alice really hoped that the person inside the container that could be seen from outside survived the ordeal.
“What is this actually!? This blood..” Theresa looked around her and there were five hundred thousand bees around, giving their support to both the container and the honey.
But she also noticed that the honey which was yellow in color previously turned into the mix of red and yellow and formed an orange liquid.
“How did he got an ancient blood?” Alice turned serious. She then chanted something and the auxiliary Intelligent Assistance Device appeared on her soul.
Manstein also received the detail that came from the notification that his device had shown him. It said that Alice used the auxiliary program but because the original owner and creator was present, the system asked Manstein for permission.
“Access allowed! Send the data to the main memory and record the activity.” Manstein input the order but when he saw the location where Alice had used it, he knew the reason why the entire hive went silent.
‘So they gathered at that place but for what. I can understand the actions of some groups that rooted themselves near the training room but why in that chamber?’
But soon that was all answered when the record even showed the picture of everyone that Alice had seen using her sight as a point of view.
“Thank you!” said Alice. But for Manstein, he felt surprised because the person inside the container was no other than Ye Qingcheng!
“You have to tell me first if you want to start earlier. Now because the situation turned like this, I wish for you and him good luck!” Manstein then terminated the connection because he would not want to see it.
And there was also the training session for Ye Xiaobai.

In the deepest part of his consciousness, there was a giant being sat cross-legged without minding the situation around it. Around the giant, only the desolation filled the place. No other people, even buildings could be seen and only a thick black fog floating around.
But Ye Qingcheng’s body was tied to a pillar with thin chains that coiled around his limbs.
‘Where is this place!?’ but in his heart, he felt a familiar sensation somewhere in his heart. He was sure of one thing that was the giant in front of him was the answer why he would act strangely every time a full moon appeared.
But in the real world, Ye Qingcheng’s body was not in his control anymore but rather the giant was controlling the body.
“Damn!” when he realized the situation, Ye Qingcheng could not move. If the situation continued, he would face the deadly consequences!
But then a warm feeling came to his entire being. Ye Qingcheng could recognize the warm feeling because he recently interacted with it.
“Isn’t this the accumulating energy from those yellow honey?” unable to believe what he had seen, Ye Qingcheng murmured. After that, the energy which formed a large yellow light that shone upon the place now started to assault the giant being.
That giant had six limbs and also three heads. Not only that but when the rays of light shone to the giant, it revealed the entire figure of that giant while also swept the black fog away!
“This is the consciousness battle!” then Alice suddenly appeared and she frowned upon seeing the giant figure.
“Ah! Sister, why are you here?” because of the unexpected event that played in front of him made the appearance of Alice became somewhat important.
“To make sure that you are safe. Looks like I don’t need to worry about your consciousness and we must immediately move to the next phase.” Alice looked at him with her penetrating eyes.
“Next phase?” Ye Qingcheng confused. But Alice then let out a blinding light before a metallic object appeared and shot a small ray to the giant. But strangely, the giant did not even detect the ray. As for the yellow radiance that shone the area, the giant resisted it with all of its might!
“Yes, that is to awaken something on your body. Fortunately that he found it as soon as possible.” Alice said while looking at the giant intently.
“What is that giant?” asked Ye Qingcheng. He had never seen such a large life form with that strange appearance it gave to him. Furthermore, this was the first time since he knew the existence of the giant.
“Do you really want to know?” Alice said to make sure that the person himself really wanted to know.
“Of course! That giant, I can feel that he gained control over my body!” as a cultivator, Ye Qingcheng could feel the difference in his body. The figure that had the body of a giant was actually the one that controlled his body.
The giant roared because the sustained attack it received. Not only that giant injured but there was also the sign of weakening!
“Actually, that was the manifestation of your own power. Can you feel it?” Alice said while pointing her finger to the giant, releasing a huge amount of her own energy.
“My own power?” this made Ye Qingcheng looked at the giant with a peculiar look. He could not describe the feelings he had currently.
“Bloodline Power. You have the power inside your blood, to be exact your gene.” Alice knew that he would not understand the meaning but for both her and Manstein, they could understand it to a large extent.
“This power...no doubt, is the power from that.” When the yellow light truly enveloped the giant entirely, a quake soon appeared and cracked the space around them. Not only that but the giant’s eyes now looked at their direction.
When their eyes met, Ye Qingcheng was startled but soon fear started to appear from the depth of him.
‘That eyes is...full of negative aura!’ thought Ye Qingcheng. The negative aura here referred to the state of emotion. Anger, jealousy, and any other negative intention was the basis to create the negative aura.
When someone unleashed their negative intent, they started to form an aura that covered their entire body with it.
“Such a strong anger aura!” Alice then made a coordination with the yellow light before disappeared in front of Ye Qingcheng’s eyes! But she only moved at the speed that could not be caught by normal sight.
“But for him, I need you to behave!” Alice’s sound resounded and echoed throughout the entire space. Her curly, blond hair fluttered around with the yellow light formed the ball with the giant as the center.
The giant roared with a desperate attempt, still looking at anyone it could see with hateful looks it could give.

On another place in the hive, there was a training ground. The place itself was created not too long ago and currently, there were two bees that became the sentry.
The room was placed in the lowest place of the hive but there was a reason for that. Deep in the room, a boy was swinging his sword around. His eyes radiated a certain kind of intent in it even though the intent was too weak.
One swing to the left, he still did not grasp the feeling. Then he continued with another swing diagonally but still, no result came out.
‘Why!?’ releasing his intention directly was easier said than done. Ye Yingyuan became exhausted faster when he also released his intent.
“What is the lacking aspect?” he asked himself while panting. The sweat came out and even poured down on his clothes. Ye Yingyuan frowned harder because the lack of energy to continue.
In the end, he could not keep his position anymore and then fell down with his back hit the floor first. His sword which was previously held by him with vigor now fell to the ground, accompanying its user.
But in fact, he closed his eyes and started to gather the energy to his foundation pillar once again.
‘Hmm, the energy here is much stronger than outside. It is like water without any other substance in it, pure. Other than that, the quality is also better.’
He realized that he still could meditate in any kinds of position regardless of the terrain but the most optimal meditation stance for profound thought process was still the lotus position.
It was when the pillar in his body started to recharge that Ye Yingyuan knew that he spent more time with the stored energy.
‘So this is the advantage of that method. The only disadvantage was the requirement for the abundant energy. Otherwise, this method will become the best for overcoming stronger enemies.’ Thought Ye Yingyuan.
The quality of the energy inside the hive made the recovery speed increased as well. But then he thought of someone that also followed him inside. He also remembered the words that Theresa had said before.
Slowly, Ye Yingyuan stood up. He retrieved his sword back before he started to control his breath. Then his entire body was covered in flame from head to toe.
The fire itself was warm for Ye Yingyuan but became hot towards another person. This was his only special flame type that only he could control at will.
“Let’s see. Previously, Cousin said that I need to condense this strong energy to one point. But I think I have a different approach in this regard.”
Ye Yingyuan thought of something before he tried to condense the energy towards the tip of his sword. Even though he had done so before but this time, Ye Yingyuan tried to make the tip of his sword as the gathering point.
As the energy condensed to that point, the temperature in his surroundings increased as well.
His pillar produced a large amount of energy to pour into the sword’s tip. Then Ye Yingyuan made a piercing strike towards a certain direction. That attack was in the form of ray and the line formed between Ye Yingyuan and the target.
Sounds of corrosion and the smell of burnt lowly permeated in the air.
“What is this?” Ye Yingyuan then saw the tip of his sword was producing a line with the red color that pierced the wall. The effect of that red line was a small hole with black lines circled it.
The energy that was unleashed from the sword’s tip was not large but the penetrating effect it caused was terrifying.
“It was said that the wall was made from the mix of both kinds of wood, saliva and the energy that glued them together. Then that mix formed a strong but cheap material that is this wall. The sturdiness of this wall is superb, even some Early stage Culture Core cultivators unable to make a dent on it.”
Ye Yingyuan recited the words that Theresa said in his own opinion.
But his maximum effort with his strike could at least penetrate the wall with difficulties in gathering the energies.Then a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
‘What if I develop this? Oh before that should I discuss this with everyone.’ Just when he thought about this that the other wall started to appear with a thin layer of ice.
“Isn’t that where the second room placed? And the ice layer...” Ye Yingyuan smiled wryly as he remembered the words that Theresa had given to him and Li Ling.
The ice layer kept spreading to the other part of the wall before it started to crack. The crack also increasing before finally tore down the wall, revealing the other room.
A swept of winds that caused by different temperature started to form. Ye Yingyuan could feel the coldness of the other room and to prevent that, he circulated his energy to the entire part of his body.
“Is this the natural energy that Li Ling possess?”
Then a figure appeared before him. Behind the figure, the room turned into a complete mess because the entire part of the wall was covered by the large mark.
Not only Ye Yingyuan saw those room but he also felt a slight dread when he directed his sight to the figure. The figure held a weapon that released a certain kind of power from it. This was the most surprising factor for Ye Yingyuan because he had never felt it before.
“The wall destroyed?” then after some time, the mist that obstructed the figure went away. With a saber on her hand and her mouth pouting, the view gave anyone who saw it the refreshing mind.
“That...feels like something?” Ye Yingyuan focused his gaze to the saber that Li Ling wield. He could see that there was a faint aura it gave, especially when he looked at it carefully.
“Eh, ah...” when Li Ling finally realized that Ye Yingyuan stared at her, she could only let out that much words. She flustered but there was an expectant look in her eyes.
Her body was enveloped by a cold energy that came from her body. But for Ye Yingyuan, he was the exact opposite of her, radiating the heat from his body.
“It’s alright. Hah, in the end I still let you surpass me.” Ye Yingyuan said dejectedly.
“What do you mean I surpassed you?” confused and did not know her own situation made Li Ling’s eyes turned big and now she stared at Ye Yingyuan, waiting for the answer.
“Congratulations! You achieved the initial step in learning the intent.” Ye Yingyuan felt bitter in his heart. He had trained especially hard in this part but the one who got it first was instead his rival!
“Really? Finally, a day where I surpassed you has come!” Li Ling smiled and even spun around. She felt really happy that she directly expressed it but for the second after that, she murmured something that only she could hear.
‘If that’s the case then I will protect you and help you.’
After that, there was a vibration strong enough to shake the entire hive. The source was the exact honey container that Ye Qingcheng’s body currently in.
