AFTER 1 MONTH(9.3B, HS''49, PLS'12'63)
I upgrade my Chaos Element to Level 4 while spending my time digging Pentagon Lightning Stars on Sun Gathering Peak.
Zhao Manyan have gone missing.
Now we are in Pantheron Temple for the Blessing of God's Seal. I have decided to give the blessing to my Chaos Element because of 'Chaos Funnel' as it would not only increase my overall destructive power but also my defenses.
"We are here to receive Blessing from Hall Mother." Pang Lai declared.
"Hmph, I'm the Hall Master, I don't have time for such trivial matters. Wait here I will send someone." Hailong said and left.
"How arrogant?" Feng Li said.
"He must be the strongest person here." Mo Fan said.
"He have very high chances of becoming a forbidden mage." Pang Lai said igniting everyone's curiosity.
"Really?" Jiang Yu said in surprise.
"I'm Haizel, a Golden Sun Knight I will be taking care of you during your stay here." Haizel introduced himself and lead everyone to their accomodations.
"We want to meet Hall Mother." Pang Lai said.
"Hall Mother is busy for the time being. She will not be able to meet you for few days." Haizel said and return to his duty.
AFTER FEW DAYS(9.3B, HS''49, PLS'12'63)
"Get ready everyone, Hall mother is coming." Haizel alerted and lead everyone to the ceremony mountain from where Great Muse brought the team to Hall Mother.
"Chen Xiao, you go first." Feng Li said.
"Greetings to the Hall Mother." Chen Xiao greeted while his left knee touching ground and other having his right hand placed upon and head little bowed down.
"Raise your head." Great Muse instructed, Chen Xiao obeyed.
"Get on your feet and close your eyes. Focus on the element you want to have Blessing seal." Great Muse instructed. Chen Xiao obeyed.
'Good absorb all the Blessing, don't you dare to waste even a tiny bit of blessing. Wait... “Chaos Funnel: Level 5”... what?' Chen Xiao tried to use 'Chaos Funnel' in his spiritual world but it got overloaded in a couple of seconds.
"Open your eyes, you have got the multiplier of 2.6 but it will decrease with time, cultivate diligently for 1 month and try not to use magic for sometime." Great Muse instructed.

"Level 1 Blink: Single" Chen Xiao bowed and teleported into his room for cultivation.
[Chen Xiao actually got multiplier of 3.1. When Hall Mother added 0.5 to Chen Xiao's stars but 'Chaos Funnel' turned it into 1.25 plus 1 from 1.5 which would have been given to Chen Xiao. But even Hall Mother wasn't able to help Chen Xiao to stable the blessing of 3.25 for long only 3.1 left in few seconds.]
"Haha... youngsters... so... impatient." Feng Li said nervously as Chen Xiao teleported away which was kind of disrespectful.
"Impatient?... He knows true value of the Hall Mother's blessing which is a priceless treasure. He didn't dare to waste even a second. Am I wrong Hall Mother." Pang Lai said trying to justify Chen Xiao's actions to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Please wait for few hours. Hall Mother needs to rest for a while." Great Muse said.

"Thank Goodness it's completely stable now. This stunning multiplier of 2.1 is taking my breath away. Hahaha... " Chen Xiao almost went crazy because of joy, even Qing Moon Guardian Vessel wasn't able to secure the multiplier of 2.1.
"Your smile is telling you got multiplier of more than 1.5." Ai Jiangtu commented.
"Hahaha... What about yours?" Chen Xiao asked.
"1.7 Now tell me yours." Ai Jiangtu replied.
"2" Chen Xiao whispered.
"What?! that much?!" Ai Jiangtu said in awe.
"Haha... yep but keep it secret. I don't usually tell anyone about my real strength but you happen to reveal yours casually. So, I don't want to be a jerk." Chen Xiao said.
"Sure, I just knew you will get the highest possible. So, I told you, I'm also not planning to share it with mine with anyone else." Ai Jiangtu replied.
"Is that so?... say do you want a heavenly vein?" Chen Xiao asked.
"The one you won in Treasure Hunt, no thanks. I would rather not waste it and you should also buy extra breakthrough items before you try to break through." Ai Jiangtu replied.
"No not mine. I will be going somewhere with lot of treasure. If you accompany me I guarantee you, you will not regret it." Chen Xiao offered.
"Lot's of 'treasure' not treasures." Ai Jiangtu asked in confusion.
"Yep, it's a single kind of treasure and can only be used once by the person who plucked them so hoarding them is not an option. So, what you say?" Chen Xiao explained.
"I don't see any loss in it. So, I guess I will go with you." Ai Jiangtu replied.
"Good choice." Chen Xiao said.
"When will we go?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"Not anytime soon. At least 1.5 years later." Chen Xiao replied.
"Ok what about others? there will be lot of treasure, I don't think it will affect us if we take few more." Ai Jiangtu asked.
"Bring whoever you want but don't let this news reach authorities. If they tried to plunder Kunlun Mountains and anger the Emperors living there. I'm telling you, China will not last more than a year." Chen Xiao said in extremely serious tone.
"I understand" Ai Jiangtu agreed, he can tell how serious Chen Xiao really is. Someone who put himself in life-threatening situations if there are slimmest chances to win, will only afraid from something which is beyond their best.
"Ok see you later then." Chen Xiao went to stroll around.

"I hope everyone has stable their blessing. It's time form us to leave. Meet me at the foot of the mountain in 10 minutes." Feng Li ordered.
Everyone went to their room and start packing their stuff. But me, Bai Cangfeng and Ai Jiangtu were already have our stuff packed and went down with Advisors.
"So, what's the total amount of money I have to pay to you?" Bai Cangfeng whispered.
"Let's see 280M + 500M + 270M. Total of 1.05B." Chen Xiao calculated.
"Good grief that much. Seems like I will have to ask main family for money." Bai Cangfeng said.
"Is there anything wrong with taking money from them?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yeah, I was planning to keep up my training with you but now I will have to dance on their palm." Bai Cangfeng said in annoyance. It was his parents who supported him but clan will be benefited from it. And if he asked for money, they will use him to increase their fame and to recruit young talents. They might give resources to help him reach Super Tier but he can also achieve Super Tier with the help of Chen Xiao.
"Want to train with me? then I think I can postpone payment day." Chen Xiao offered, he was wondering how will he upgrade his Chaos and Space Elements to Level 5 if Bai Cangfeng left but now he doesn't have to worry about it.
"How about after 6 months?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"Whenever you want." Chen Xiao said
After an hour we reach airport and take plane to China.
"Jiang ShaoXu... Jiang ShaoXu... you are dirtying my clothes..." Chen Xiao tried to wake up drooling Jiang ShaoXu who fell asleep on his shoulder after drinking.
"Led mii zleep." Jiang ShaoXu muttered in sleep.
"Chen Xiao it's not gentlemanly to disturb someone sleeping." Nanyu lectured.
"Yeah, captain say something." Jiang Yu also take part in teasing.
"Me? Umm... Chen Xiao you should take good care of your comrade when he/she vulnerable." Ai Jiangtu said. Everyone facepalm themselves.
"If Bai Cangfeng fell asleep on his shoulder, he won't have made a fuss." Mo Fan joked.
"Talk about yourself, I remember you going to Gay Strip Club in Mexico with Zhao Manyan. Hollow bamboo sound loudest." Bai Cangfeng retorted. Everyone eyed Mo Fan suspiciously.
"I don't mind anyone sleeping on my shoulder like this. But she is drooling damn it, DROOLING!" Chen Xiao said.
"Xue Xue don't look at me like that. It was a misunderstanding." Mo Fan try to prove his innocence.
"You can bath in monsters' blood but can't tolerate little bit of saliva. That hypocritical." Nanyu rebuted.
"Yeah, how will you kiss her if you can't tolerate a little bit of her drool?" Jiang Yu said with knowing smile.
"Sigh~" Chen Xiao gave up on waking her up.
