"Surround that bear! I want this Saber-Clawed Golden Bear to be my 5th spirit ring!"

As she said that, six wings appeared on her back and she jumped to the air and fly toward the bear.

"Spirit Skill - Angelic Burst!" Four spirit rings lit up behind her back, she Concentrated Spirit Power in front of her and release it in an instant explosive power towards the Bear.

Not wanting to lose to its enemies, the Saber-Clawed Golden Bear let out a deafening roar and slashing its claws towards the angelic woman. Instantly, dozens of sharp golden colored energy shot out to the woman's and the hooded peoples' direction.

When the woman's and the bear's attack clashed with each other, they dissipated into thin air. The woman's attack managed to destroy several of bear's attack before it dissipated, while the rest of it manage to destroyed by the hooded peoples easily.

Ao Si Ya surprised by the sheer power of both sides, she becomes both dumbfounded and terrified.

The Bear once again roared and slammed both of its hand to the ground. Feeling something, the woman immediately jumped to the side to dodge when suddenly saber-like energy striking from below her.

"Spirit Skill - Angelic descent!" The woman quickly counterattacked with her own attack, she summoned a golden silhouette on her side. She raised her right hand and pointed her finger index finger at the Bear's direction.

At that Instant, the golden silhouette gained a luster then rushed and attacked the bear with a gusto. At the same time as the woman summoned the golden silhouette, one of the hooded figures murmured something and silently a flower petal appears out of nowhere above the Saber-clawed Golden Bear.

Just before the golden silhouette's attack reach its target, the flower petal manage to land on the bear's back, and the bear suddenly gets stunned and its legs buckled as if it has gotten hit by a strong force from above.

"GRRAAAWWWLLLL!" with an indignant roar, the bear got attacked by the golden silhouette.

*BAM!* The golden silhouette slammed its body and the bear fall down lifelessly, dead. A black colored ring floated upward from its corpse.

*sigh*

Seeing her target finally dead, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. She then turned to Ao Si Ya and asked sternly.

"Who are you?!"

Ao Si Ya who was still not snapped out of her dumbfounded state didn't bother to answer the woman's question and just continuing to staring agape at the bear's corpse.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that her question left unanswered, she yelled out of annoyance. Immediately, one of the hooded figures knocked her out cold.

"Hur hur~ she better left unconscious for a while and young lady, you should quickly absorb the bear's spirit ring." A feminine voice sounded from the hooded figure.

...

An explosive "boom" occurred. At this moment, the inside of Mubai's body was being fried through and through, and finally, his Inner Physique had been successfully refined. A fist as small as a fetus and dark like a moonless night was formed. This tiny Inner Physique was heavy beyond one's imagination, like the heaviest godly metal in this world and it exuding an immeasurable strength, like the strongest creature proudly stand up, lifting the whole world!

At this moment, the universal laws of the Hell Suppressing Deity Physique and Sky Destroyer Immortal physique, like strands of silk, covered this pitch-black Inner Physique empowered by the Tainted essence.

In the end, the universal laws of the Taint Immortal Physique covered the Inner Physique, slowly hid inside the heart, and the laws finally submerged within alongside the Inner Physique. However, universal laws continued to rotate without stopping!

The Inner Physique was protected by the heart, the Life Wheel resided in the neck, and the Fate Palace was hidden in the Ni Gong meridian! [1]

A formed Inner Physique meant that Mubai had broken through the Physique Accumulation grand completion level and stepped into the Provisional Palace realm! According to this world's law, he would be able to step into 'Spirit Ancestor' after he absorbed another spirit rings, weirdly he didn't form an inner physique when he advanced to 31st rank and only now he formed it. According to Mubai's analysis, he will also advance into the 'Inner Longevity' stage when he stepped into 41st rank.

'Weird indeed, there's too many difference between this world and my former world.' Mubai Thought inside his mind.

After the Physique Accumulation, there was the Provisional Palace realm. This realm was about forming a new Fate Palace within the Ni Gong meridian. It sounds simple, but building a new Fate Palace from scratch was not an easy matter.

Building a new Fate Palace was different from the natural Fate Palace. Cultivators in Mubai's former world called the natural Fate Palace the 'Master Palace' while the created Fate Palace would be the Vice Palace or Servant Palace.

The Master Palace was where the True Fate resided, and it was also called the True Fate Master Palace. The new Fate Palace cannot replace the Master Palace due to this.

At the Provisional Palace realm, a cultivator could build one new Fate Palace; however, a cultivator during his life would not build just one new Fate Palace. In theory, a cultivator could have twelve Fate Palaces — also named the Twelve Palaces. [2]

In reality, from the ancient past until now, people having the Twelve Palaces were essentially non-existent! Some even say that this world essentially didn't have twelve palaces; at the very most, there were eleven palaces!

These words were not without reason. In fact, a cultivator with three Fate Palaces was already praised as being extraordinary. With six Fate Palaces, one would be considered a genius, even if his aptitude and Physique was ordinary; as long as he had six Fate Palaces, no one could deny his future prowess. As for having nine Fate Palaces, this was an extraordinary genius as high as the heavens; even throughout the ancient times till now, it would be difficult to find one! As for having more than nine palaces, there were very few known cultivators since the beginning of time!

Mubai had stepped inside this realm. At this moment, on top of his Fate Palace was a transforming Colossal White Tiger, Roaring around his True Fate. Waves after waves of incantations affected the Master Palace, causing Mubai's Ni Gong meridian to change!

There was a golden bone pillar rising in Mubai's Ni Gong meridian as He channeled his spirit energy nonstop. It slowly dug into the meridian, and the shape of a Fate Palace was slowly formed..

This was the Provisional Palace's One Starting Palace level. The process was extremely slow, but Mubai was not anxious. He knew this realm could not be rushed. Once a mistake appeared, it would directly cause the palace to collapse. If this happened, then opening a new Fate Palace in the future would be harder than traversing the highest heaven!

But unknowingly in his Heaven and Man state, Mubai continues his advancement and slowly forming his second fate palace then the third, fourth... all the way to the twelveth palace.

Each of the palaces was unique, The Master Palace was an ash grey palace that continuously burned by a white fire and it was currently inhabited by Mubai's transformed Martial Spirit, the tiger now lost all of its colors except black and white colors. A pair of horn grows on its head and a pair of giant wings proudly stretched out on its back.

(A/N: Look at the cover.)

While the second to the fourth palaces were inhabited by a Pit Demon Spider, a Golden-eyed Lunar Tiger King, and a Golden-furred Ash Bear. While the rest were currently empty.

Throughout the night, Mubai was immersed in this process. , Mubai woke up from his heavenly meditation, and he saw Zhu Yi staring widely at the side.

Stretching his tired back, Mubai signaled for Zhu Yi to back to his sense. After calming his thought, Zhu Yi was just looking at him like he was looking at a wonder of nature, without saying anything, not even a word.

"What? I'm not swinging that way." Mubai asked Zhu Yi while covering his chest with both of his hands.

[1] Ni Gong meridian is in the forehead
