Yan Zhi was somewhat speechless!
Was this little tower a bit… lacking in intelligence?
It was a bit hard to communicate with!
Without further nonsense with the little tower, Yan Zhi turned her attention back to the space-time black hole. Was that guy alive or dead?
…
At this moment, Ye Xuan was completely baffled!
He was truly lost!
He had been御剑狂奔 (flying on his sword at full speed) for an entire day, but he still hadn’t found an exit!
He was lost in this cosmic dimensional space-time!
How could he get out?
He was now a bit disoriented.
This was really frustrating!
Ye Xuan scanned his surroundings. The space-time around him was eerily silent, with no sound at all, like a dead zone!
He was still in the fourth layer of space-time, but he had no idea which region of the fourth layer he was in!
How could he get back?
Right now, he wasn’t thinking about reaching the fifth layer of space-time—he just wanted to find a way back!
After a moment, he御剑 (flew on his sword) and disappeared into the distance.
And so, he穿梭 (traveled) through the vast fourth layer of space-time for several more days, but during that time, he found nothing!
At this point, he was starting to feel restless!
He wasn’t afraid of danger; he was afraid of finding nothing. In this space-time, he couldn’t sense the passage of time. Every moment felt the same.
Loneliness!
He felt like he was the only person in the entire world!
When he noticed his growing restlessness, he frowned.
Why was he feeling restless?
Was there a problem with his剑心 (sword heart)?
After a moment, Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled.
Admittedly, this kind of lonely place was perfect for self-reflection.
Because it forced you to calm down!
Ye Xuan decided to sit down!
Since he couldn’t find a way out, he might as well sit down, calm himself, and think things through!
The more he wanted to leave, the more restless he became.
And the more restless he became, the more likely he was to make mistakes!
After sitting down, Ye Xuan began to think.
The fourth layer of space-time!
What was the difference between this place and the outside world?
He immediately activated his剑域 (sword domain) to envelop the area around him. With the sword domain active, he could sense this space-time more clearly.
He began to study this space-time instead of rushing to leave!
After all, he wasn’t in a hurry!
And so, as time passed, with the help of his sword domain, he began to try merging with this space-time!
At first, it was naturally impossible. Even with the sword domain, he couldn’t merge with this space-time!
But gradually, he discovered that he could use the Qingxuan Sword as a medium to merge with this space-time!
Because he could merge with the Qingxuan Sword!
Admittedly, this discovery excited him.
However, he didn’t dare to be careless, because he knew nothing about this space-time, and he was afraid he might accidentally destroy himself!
But luckily, with the Qingxuan Sword, this space-time was very accommodating!
And so, Ye Xuan slowly merged himself with this space-time. Once fully merged, he was stunned!
Because he realized that the exit was right in front of him!
Wait, no!
To be more accurate, the exit was everywhere!
Before, he had been trapped within the space-time, but now that he had merged with it, the exit was everywhere. He could leave this space-time at any time!
In addition, he could now manipulate this space-time!
Of course, he needed the Qingxuan Sword to do so!
Without the Qingxuan Sword, this space-time wouldn’t give him the time of day!
This made him feel a bit awkward!
He actually had less face than the Qingxuan Sword!
Ye Xuan put away the Qingxuan Sword and glanced around. He didn’t plan to leave just yet. He wanted to take a look at the legendary fifth layer of space-time!
No sooner said than done!
He immediately went to the edge of the fourth layer of space-time. When he arrived at the edge, he frowned. The edge of the fourth layer of space-time was a void!
A void?
Just as Ye Xuan was about to step into it, the Qingxuan Sword suddenly trembled slightly.
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword. Little Soul said, “Little Master, it’s dangerous!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Dangerous?”
Little Soul replied, “Yes! Very dangerous. Don’t go in!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Even with you here, it’s still dangerous?”
Little Soul said, “I’m not in danger. You are!”
Ye Xuan: “……”
Little Soul continued, “I can sense that there’s an extremely terrifying power inside. It’s not something you can handle right now!”
Terrifying power?
Ye Xuan looked at the void. Was it the space-time pressure Yan Zhi had mentioned?
Space-time pressure!
Within the fifth layer of space-time, there were multiple dimensional space-times, and multiple dimensional space-times contained multiple layers of space-time pressure!
Ye Xuan took another look at the void, then turned and left!
He certainly wasn’t going to risk his life!
…
Yan Zhi, who had been waiting, suddenly looked up. From within the space-time black hole, a man slowly walked out!
It was Ye Xuan!
Yan Zhi blinked. “You’re still alive!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Did you want me dead?”
Yan Zhi smiled slightly. “Of course not! I definitely wanted you alive…”
As she spoke, her smile gradually faded. “Did you enter the fourth layer of space-time?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No.”
Yan Zhi frowned. “No?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “After I entered the space-time black hole, the space-time pressure inside was too overwhelming. I didn’t dare to go any further.”
Yan Zhi stared at Ye Xuan. “Really?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Really! If you don’t believe me, I can swear an oath!”
Yan Zhi immediately said, “Then swear!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “I swear on my father’s name, if what I say is false, may he be…”
“Enough!”
Yan Zhi suddenly shook her head. “You unfilial son!”
Ye Xuan: “……”
Yan Zhi continued, “If you didn’t reach the fourth layer of space-time, why did it take you so long to come out?”
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “It was too dark inside. I got lost!”
Yan Zhi stared at Ye Xuan. “Really?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “If you don’t believe me, I can swear again!”
Yan Zhi: “……”
Ye Xuan said, “Miss Yan Zhi, after spending so much time together, you should know my character very well. I’m the kind of person who would rather shed blood and lose my head than say something I don’t mean!”
Yan Zhi glanced at Ye Xuan. “The way you say it makes it sound like you’re trying to trick me!”
Ye Xuan: “……”
Yan Zhi added, “It’s fine if you didn’t go in! I didn’t think it was possible anyway. Even the Clan Leader took countless years to enter the fourth layer of space-time back then!”
As she spoke, she smiled.
She was somewhat happy!
Because Ye Xuan hadn’t entered the fourth layer of space-time, it meant that the woman in the green skirt’s strength hadn’t reached the ninth stage.
At most, she was at the eighth stage!
For the Divine Human Race, this wasn’t a bad thing!
Thinking this, she glanced at Ye Xuan. “You can stay here for now. Don’t wander off, because the Divine Humans aren’t very friendly toward humans. Understand?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Understood!”
Yan Zhi nodded. “You’re a smart person. I’m glad you understand!”
With that, she turned and left.
Inside the hall, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile.
His current cultivation level was at the seventh stage, but his strength far surpassed that of a typical seventh-stage cultivator!
There was still a gap between him and a ninth-stage expert, but a ninth-stage expert couldn’t suppress him anymore!
Because space-time dimensional suppression no longer worked on him!
In other words, he was now on the same level as a ninth-stage expert!
Of course, this didn’t mean he was a ninth-stage expert!
Overall, he could now hold his own against a ninth-stage expert!
As if remembering something, he sat down cross-legged and focused his mind inward.
He scanned his body, and his expression darkened.
Damn it!
That woman had really planted over three hundred restrictions inside him!
Was she insane?
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Little Soul, can you break these restrictions?”
Little Soul replied, “Of course! Do you want me to break them now?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Not now!”
If he broke them now, it would definitely alert that woman. Right now, he couldn’t afford to clash with the entire Divine Human Race!
Little Soul suddenly said excitedly, “Little Master, I sense many powerful souls nearby. Should we go absorb them?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Little Soul, you’re getting a bit too cocky!”
Little Soul giggled. “Little Master, I miss Sister Qing’er!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I miss her too!”
Little Soul added, “Little Master, I have a plan! Do you want to hear it?”
Ye Xuan was curious. “What plan?”
Little Soul said seriously, “Let me stay with Sister Qing’er for a while, and then I’ll come back to find you!”
Ye Xuan’s expression darkened. “Are you嫌弃 (looking down on) me because my strength is low?”
Little Soul quickly said, “No, no! I just want to become stronger so I can help you, Little Master! If I stay with Sister Qing’er for a while, given her暴躁 (fiery) temper—she’s always pointing somewhere and slashing with her sword—I’m sure I’ll become incredibly strong in no time. Then I can help you!”
Ye Xuan: “…..”
Little Soul continued, “My heart and soul are connected to yours, Little Master. I would never look down on you. You know that!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Of course I know!”
As Little Soul had said, she truly wanted to help him!
Ye Xuan sighed softly. “I also want to follow Qing’er, but…”
As he spoke, he shook his head.
His intuition told him that he shouldn’t stay with Qing’er for too long!
Why?
Because after spending too much time with Qing’er, he started to feel like everyone else was an ant…
This was a very dangerous mindset!
At that moment, Yan Zhi suddenly walked in. She approached Ye Xuan and smiled. “I’m taking you somewhere!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Where?”
Yan Zhi said, “An academic exchange!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why are you taking me to an academic exchange?”
Yan Zhi smiled. “I want to show you what a high-level civilization looks like! After you see it, you’ll realize how amazing our Divine Human Race is! And that sister of yours? In front of our Divine Human civilization, she’s as insignificant as an ant!”
At this point, the Little Tower suddenly spoke up. “If you’re going to talk like that, I, the Little Tower, won’t stand for it! Miss Yan Zhi, I advise you to be kind. Really…….”
