C40 Learning about Xiantians
"So what you're telling me is that everyone would naturally start to understand the laws before breaking through the Saint Realm?" Kyle asks Feng Yexue with a disbelief expression.
He and Feng Yexue had been talking about martial cultivation in these past few hours.
Kyle had been pestering her about the laws for hours, so Feng Yexue decided to give some hints to him.
At first, she wondered why Kyle had no knowledge about these kinds of things since it was common knowledge to some family clans, however, since she wanted someone to talk to since she was bored; she gave in and both of them talk about the laws.
Of course... She didn't tell him all she knew directly and only gave him some basic ideas about the laws.
"Obviously... Since learning at least one law was a pre-requisite in breaking through the Saint Realm. Once you step on the later stages of the Xiantian Realm, you would naturally be able to start to understand the laws of the world." Feng Yexue replied in a straightforward manner.
Kyle was shocked when he heard this. He guessed that Feng Yexue must have some understandings in the law of the Lightning or thunder.
Then doesn't that mean that she was already at the fabled Saint Realm? This made Kyle even more fascinated and interested in her.
"Well, there were some geniuses out there who had some slight understandings in their Nature's Law before breaking through the Saint Realm" she hurriedly replied.
She saw Kyle's glistening azure eyes looking at her with reverence, so she gave way for Kyle to not over-assume some things.
Feng Yexue had been a genius all her life, so she knew when someone was about to become a fanatic of her.
She doesn't want the only person who she could talk to inside this Ancient Pagoda, to act like a mindless fan.
However, what she didn't know was that Kyle didn't look at her like that because he was being fascinated by her looks or genius talent; but because he was excited to meet a Saint Realm Cultivator this soon.
Even though Kyle doesn't know the levels of cultivation in this world. He wasn't such an idiot, to not know that Saint Realm Cultivators were Big-time Cultivators.
The word Saint holds a big title, no matter where Xianxia world you come to. (Well, except for CSG.)
So when he heard that learning about the laws was a requirement to break through the Saint Realm, he connected the dots and deduced that the woman was at least a Saint Realm Cultivator.
When he heard Feng Yexue say that learning about the laws would naturally come to everyone once they become late stage Xiantians, he got a bit disappointed.
They both talked about the stages in Xiantians a while ago when Kyle was trying to pester Feng Yexue about the laws.
Feng Yexue told him that there were three major stages in the Xiantian Realm.
He summarized all he learned from their conversations a while ago.
1-3rd stage Xiantians are called low-stage Xiantians. They could proficiently use martial skills since they could control their Qi much better and could control a bit of their Nature Element. Their Lifespans would also increase to 150yrs.
4-6th stage Xiantians are called middle-stage Xiantians. At this stage, the cultivators could now proficiently use their Nature Element together with their soul-weapons, they could also create their own martial skills together with their Nature Element. Lifespan up to 300 yrs.
7-9th stage Xiantians are called late-stage Xiantians. This is where they would start to feel the laws of the world. Usually, they could feel the laws of their Nature Element much easier, so they focused on this. Lifespan up to 1000 yrs.

But sooner later, he pondered.
"If being late-stage Xiantians was a requirement to feel the laws of the world? Then, why can I feel it for a little bit when they were clashing in front of me? Is it because of my cheat item?" Kyle asked himself.
"No, wait... Oh, I get it now, what I felt wasn't about the laws of my Nature Element, but maybe, what I felt when watching them was the awakening of my Gura Gura," Kyle suddenly had a clear thought.
The effects of awakening were quite similar to understanding the laws of the world, so he guessed that it must be the reason why he could feel the laws while being an early Xiantians.
At the one piece world, there weren't any Xiantians out there, yet some of them had awakened their devil fruits.
He now realized that the sensation that he felt when seeing them clash, was him understanding about his devil fruit's awakening.
The methods of awakening were similar to the laws of the world, so Kyle decided to ask Feng Yexue more about the laws.
"You really are stubborn aren't you?" Feng Yexue replied when she heard Kyle asking about the laws again.
Feng Yexue wondered why he kept on asking about it when she had already told him that only Late-stage Xiantian could feel the laws.
Him being only at the early-stage Xiantian means he still needed to cultivate more if he wanted to at least feel the laws before understanding them.
But Feng Yexue wasn't annoyed by his stubbornness, she guessed that Kyle wasn't someone from the clans in the empires since he doesn't know a thing or two about the basic knowledge in cultivating.
This made her more curious about Kyle. Someone who doesn't have a background became this strong despite being so young.
When she inspected Kyle earlier, she had known from Kyle's bone-age he was only a 16-17 years old teen.
A 16-17 years old teen at 2nd stage Xiantian Realm was quite rare, even for the geniuses at the empires, but what made her curious is about Kyle's body.
He was a 16-17 years old teen without a background, yet his looks were already like someone at 21 years old.
She felt that Kyle must have some secrets in his body, especially since she knew that he only had a 9th stage cultivation in Qi, but his body had already become a Xiantian.
There were a lot of body cultivators in the whole continent, some are even at the Xiantian Realms.
But Feng Yexue knew that those body cultivators became a Xiantian with their Qi first before they cultivated their bodies to the Xiantian Realm.
Kyle was the only one she had seen or heard that had broken through the Xiantian Realm with his body alone, so she got curious about this.
She wanted to inquire more about him so she said.
"Ok sure, I'll tell you about it, but first; tell me about yourself.
"Me?" Kyle wondered why she wanted to learn about him.
At first, he thought that his secret was out and she had learned about his Gura Gura no Mi.
"Tell me... where did you come from? I haven't seen or heard anything about you in the empire," her next word gave Kyle a relief.
He was afraid of his secret letting out, especially since the woman ahead of him was a lot stronger than him.
Kyle felt that Feng Yexue was a kind person, but he knows he can't let his guard down since a lot of people could change in the face of greed.
"Oh, about that. Well... I came from here. In my perspective, you are the one who I still haven't seen or heard from." He answered her calmly.
"Here? As in here at the Ancient Pagoda or Misty Ruins?" She asked in a surprising manner.
"Hahaha of course not, I came from here in the Beast Plains." Kyle laughed while answering her.
When Feng Yexue heard him, she felt embarrassed and her beautiful face went red, so she looked down. At the same time, she blamed Kyle for not telling her directly.
Due to her curiosity, she forgot to think rationally and asked a stupid question.
She had been in the Ancient Pagoda for months now, so she immediately connected the Ancient Pagoda when she heard Kyle said he came from here.
She soon recovered and continued to inquire about Kyle, but she didn't directly asked Kyle about his body and only asked more of his past.
Feng Yexue was curious about Kyle's body, but she wasn't jealous or wanted it for herself.
She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity, so she wanted to learn more about him.
She could force him since she was clearly a lot stronger than him, but the challenge of learning the secrets of Kyle's body will be ruined if she forces him to tell her.
When Kyle heard her questions, he was surprised for a second; but he answered all her questions flawlessly.
He told her about his past in the Tang Village, on how he lived there etc.
Of course, he put in some lies with the truth. Obviously, he didn't tell her anything about his secret.
Seeing that she failed to uncover the secrets of his body, Feng Yexue let out a helpless sigh.
She wasn't angry since learning about his body secrets wasn't important for her. She was just doing it for fun and to release her boredom, so failing to uncover it; did not anger her.
But since she promised to tell Kyle about the laws. She told him some of her experience in understanding the laws.
She was one of those geniuses who understood a law before breaking through the Saint Realm, so the things that she was going to tell Kyle was very useful to those higher sects in the empire.
If they had learned of this, they would have cough blood in jealousy.
So the man and female cultivator continued to discuss the laws for hours.
This made them closer to each other and lessened the unfamiliarity between the two.
Their discussions were enjoyable for the both of them, that it made them forgot the time while they were busy in their conversation.
A few hours passed...
"Okay enough for today, seeing it in person is much better than just hearing it." Feng Yexue said while she stood up.
She then prepared to walk and cross the 20th line to fight her weekly battle against the child dragon.
But before she could cross the 20th line, she heard Kyle's voice.
"Wait for a second... My name is Kyle, what's yours," Kyle shouted hurriedly.
They have been talking to each other for hours, yet they still haven't known each other's names; so Kyle initiated to introduce himself and asked her name.
Feng Yexue looked back and turned towards him.
Hours of conversation made the two of them quite bonded, so she didn't ignore him and said.
"Yexue... I am called Feng Yexue..." She spoke in a beautiful voice.
Then, she headed and crossed the 20th line and stood before the all-mighty Dragon Statue.
