Fallen!
The middle-aged man didn’t even understand how he fell until his dying breath!
Beside him, Ye Xuan sheathed the Qingxuan Sword, then returned to Little Tower to continue cultivating.
Below, the God Sect experts exchanged bewildered glances, utterly dumbfounded.
…
God King Valley.
In the tree hall, Mu Gu reclined on a藤椅, her right leg crossed over her left, eyes half-closed, her right hand lightly tapping the chair’s armrest.
At that moment, Mou Xi entered, her expression grim, “Master, that Mountain Person has fallen!”
Mu Gu’s tapping fingers paused, after a moment, she said softly, “How did he fall?”
Mou Xi hesitated, then said, “They say he touched the sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, and then he was silently erased!”
Mu Gu frowned, “Touched the sword?”
Mou Xi nodded, “Yes!”
Mu Gu fell silent for a long while, then murmured, “This person may not be a Mountain Person, but he’s certainly no ordinary figure…”
Mou Xi said gravely, “Master, I’ve thoroughly investigated him, he comes from a second-tier civilization, he…”
Mu Gu suddenly shook her head, “That only makes him more extraordinary!”
Mou Xi nodded, “Indeed, there’s much mystery about him, especially that sword, it’s said that when he wields it, he’s immune to spacetime pressure and spacetime abysses!”
Mu Gu’s eyes narrowed, “Truly?”
Mou Xi nodded, “It should be true!”
Mu Gu was quiet for a long time, then said, “The Mountain People won’t let this go, keep watching!”
Mou Xi nodded and stepped back.
…
Ten Extremes Temple.
At this moment, Mu Qiu had learned of the Mountain Person’s fall, upon hearing the news, he let out a heavy sigh of relief!
Thank goodness!
He was immensely grateful he hadn’t acted impulsively against Ye Xuan back then, otherwise, he’d likely be gone!
A second-gen!
That punk really was a second-gen!
…
Inside Little Tower.
One day, Ye Xuan, deep in cultivation, suddenly stopped, the next moment, he vanished, reappearing in front of Xue Tong!
Seeing Xue Tong, Ye Xuan froze!
At that moment, Xue Tong had reached the life grid realm!
Spotting Ye Xuan, Xue Tong slowly pulled out a candied hawthorn, licked it, and said, “You seem surprised!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You reached the life grid realm so fast?”
Xue Tong blinked, “Is it fast?”
Ye Xuan blinked back, then shook his head with a smile, he suddenly remembered that while only seven or eight days had passed outside, seventy or eighty years had gone by in Little Tower!
Even so, it was still fast!
This Xue Tong was no simple character!
Xue Tong suddenly asked, “You’ve hit the twentieth stage?”
Ye Xuan nodded, he was now at the twentieth stage, ever since Little Tower unsealed, his cultivation speed had been phenomenal!
Then, Xue Tong opened her palm, revealing the Divine Illumination Scripture, she looked at Ye Xuan, “This thing’s pretty good, want it?”
Ye Xuan glanced at it, “Wasn’t this mine to begin with?”
Xue Tong blinked, then handed it over, “I mean, if you don’t want it, give it to me!”
Ye Xuan promptly took the scripture, this little girl was sly!
Xue Tong added, “Can I borrow that sword to play with?”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword appearing, he looked at Xue Tong with a smile, “You want to play with this sword?”
Xue Tong nodded, “Just a look!”
Ye Xuan smiled and handed it over, Xue Tong gripped it, after a moment, she frowned, “No reaction?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “This sword only works for me!”
Xue Tong glanced at him, then returned it, “Your sister made it for you?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Xue Tong licked her candied hawthorn, then said, “Ask her to make me one too!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Why?”
Xue Tong said seriously, “Didn’t I tell you before? Your dad’s my dad, so isn’t your sister my sister too?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Xue Tong added, “Any problem with that?”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “What do you think?”
Xue Tong thought for a moment, then said, “I’m strong, I can help you fight! So helping me is like helping yourself!”
Ye Xuan patted her shoulder lightly, “I built my career on bluffing!”
With that, he turned and left.
Xue Tong stayed put, licking her candied hawthorn, silent.
In the days that followed, Ye Xuan began pushing toward the Limitless Realm, honestly, with the Qingxuan Sword unsealed, cultivation stages didn’t matter as much anymore!
For instance, the Ninth Spacetime, even tenth-stage life grid experts couldn’t shake it, but he could!
Still, he had to go through the process.
As for relying on external tools, he’d stopped worrying about that, he just wanted to survive!
Following his dad’s methods would get him killed by this brutal reality sooner or later!
Unbeknownst to Ye Xuan, the Spacetime Temple was frantically searching for him!
Since the Ninth Spacetime could be accessed from any world, Yao Jun was in a bind after Ye Xuan left!
He realized he had no idea which universe Ye Xuan was in.
And when they learned Ye Xuan could twist the Ninth Spacetime, the entire Spacetime Temple’s powerhouses went wild!
They’d spent lifetimes studying the Ninth Spacetime with little progress, it was a barrier for all life grid realm experts, mastering it meant a chance to break through the life grid realm to a new height, yet after countless years, they hadn’t figured it out, even simple spacetime twisting eluded them, let alone fusion!
Now, someone could twist the Ninth Spacetime!
The Spacetime Temple’s experts were buzzing with excitement!
In an unknown world, Yao Jun smiled bitterly, if he couldn’t find Ye Xuan, those old fogeys at the temple might really kill him!
He was helpless!
Back then, when Ye Xuan said he was leaving, it’s not that he didn’t consider stopping him! But he didn’t dare! He’d nearly been erased, after all!
Too tough!
Moments later, Yao Jun turned and left.
Keep searching!
…
Ten days later, a woman appeared in the clouds above the God Sect, dressed in a white robe, her hair in a ponytail, with sharp brows and phoenix eyes, exuding a heroic aura!
Beside her stood a young man in a锦袍, standing tall, his eyes sharp as blades.
The woman suddenly laughed, “Never thought a low-tier civilization like this would produce an innate ninth-stage life grid…”
She turned to the man, “Brother Xiao Yun, what do you think?”
The man, Xiao Yun, smiled, “It’s indeed unusual, his backers must be something special too!”
The woman’s lips curled, “A second-gen?”
Xiao Yun laughed, “Special bloodline, innate ninth-stage life grid, what else could he be if not a second-gen? Looks like we need to tread carefully!”
The woman chuckled, “Brother Xiao Yun, when it comes to strength and background, who can match you? Born with the world’s strongest Flame God bloodline, a sixth-stage innate life grid, and on top of that, the world’s second-best spacetime physique…”
She shook her head with a smile, “And the scariest part, you’ve awakened the Nether Demon Soul…”
Xiao Yun laughed, “Miss Lin Yao, with all this praise, let me guess, you want me to test this Sect Leader Ye first, ideally have us fight to a draw, then you swoop in for the spoils, right?”
Before Lin Yao could reply, Xiao Yun laughed again, “Miss Lin Yao, I’m kidding, how could you be that devious? Just a joke!”
Lin Yao smiled, “Brother Xiao Yun, you said fighting him to a draw… I don’t think Sect Leader Ye could threaten you, from what I know, he was only at the seventeenth stage before, not even Divine Spirit realm, while you’re already at sixth-stage life grid! As for his backers… who’s got a stronger background than you?”
Xiao Yun laughed heartily, “Miss Lin Yao, you’re making me float with all this flattery!”
Lin Yao glanced at him, saying nothing.
Xiao Yun suddenly smiled, “Innate ninth-stage life grid, plus a special bloodline, Miss Lin Yao, if you took his life grid and devoured his bloodline, tsk tsk…”
He trailed off.
Lin Yao chuckled, “Young Master Xiao Yun, aren’t you tempted? Your Flame Clan bloodline may be the strongest, but I hear Sect Leader Ye’s bloodline is incredibly unique, if you devoured it, you might outshine everyone in your clan! And he’s got a ninth-stage life grid, if you got that, tsk tsk…”
They exchanged a knowing smile, each with their own schemes.
Just then, the distant sky trembled, a man stepped out, long hair flowing, a wicked grin on his face.
Seeing him, Lin Yao smiled faintly, “Brother Yang Feng!”
Yang Feng laughed, “Thought I was late, but looks like you haven’t acted yet, what, waiting for me?”
Xiao Yun smiled, “Brother Yang Feng, we’re a bit cautious, so we haven’t moved.”
Yang Feng laughed, “What, want me to go first?”
Xiao Yun grinned, “Up to you!”
Yang Feng glanced at them, shaking his head in disdain, “You two live so tiresomely, overthinking something so simple, so boring! If you won’t act, I will!”
With that, he turned to the ground below, stomped his foot, and laughed, “Ye Xuan, I know you’re sneaking around watching us, come out, let me beat you to death!”
His voice thundered, shaking the clouds!
Amid Yang Feng’s laughter, Ye Xuan slowly emerged, walking up to him with a smile, “Alright!”
As he spoke, his body turned illusory, the next moment, he entered the Ninth Spacetime, then, under everyone’s gaze, he swept his sword lightly, twisting the Ninth Spacetime!
Seeing this, Lin Yao, Xiao Yun, and Yang Feng’s faces changed instantly!
Twisting the Ninth Spacetime!
Ye Xuan glanced at them, smiling, “You three, come at me together…”
He looked at Yang Feng, grinning faintly, “Two strikes, and I’ll share your surname!”
