What a blunder!
A massive blunder!
Ye Xuan stared at the storage ring in front of him, utterly speechless.
He’d been looked down upon!
But he couldn’t argue, because he was indeed dirt poor!
Of course, at this moment, he fully understood that the Crystal Kings, so precious in the Parallel Universe, were likely just ordinary crystals in the Dimensional Universe!
Without overthinking, Ye Xuan put away the storage ring and divided the spoils with the others. After splitting, each person got nearly two hundred thousand Crystal Kings.
And Ye Xuan himself had a total of five hundred thousand Crystal Kings!
Five hundred thousand!
In the Parallel Universe, this was truly an astronomical fortune!
But in the Dimensional Universe, clearly not!
Ye Xuan looked at Lan Xiu, opening his palm. The Qingxuan Sword detached from Lan Xiu’s soul, “You can go!”
Lan Xiu looked at Ye Xuan, “Your name’s Gu Ye, right?”
Ye Xuan shrugged, saying nothing, and turned to leave!
Lan Xiu suddenly said, “You’re utterly shameless!”
With that, he turned and vanished from the scene.
At this point, he had no strength left to fight. Not only was his physical body shattered, but his soul had been drained by the Qingxuan Sword, leaving him extremely weak!
So, he decisively chose to leave!
After Lan Xiu departed, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Let’s go!”
Go!
The others froze.
Ye Xuan immediately said, “Leave now!”
With that, he turned, rode his sword, and vanished into the depths of the starry sky.
The others exchanged glances, and soon, Shi Li and Qin Feng also turned and disappeared from the spot!
At that moment, everyone realized.
Take the win and run!
Lan Xiu was already so formidable. If another genius from the Dimensional Universe showed up… the worst-case scenario wasn’t facing a genius even more monstrous than Lan Xiu, but a swarm of Dimensional Universe geniuses!
If a conflict broke out here, the Parallel Universe side had no advantage whatsoever!
None at all!
Leaving now was a massive gain!
Realizing this, the Parallel Universe group vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Not long after they left, another Dimensional Universe woman appeared on the scene. But seeing the empty field, her brows immediately furrowed!
As if sensing something, she turned to look at the distant starry sky, “Boundless Lord!”
Boundless Lord chuckled, “Gu Chaoxi!”
The woman named Gu Chaoxi nodded slightly, “Greetings, Senior!”
Boundless Lord laughed heartily, “You’re quite impressive, with a chance to enter the Saint King Hall!”
Gu Chaoxi gave a slight bow, “Thank you!”
Boundless Lord smiled and turned to leave.
Divinity and Monk Wu hurriedly followed!
Gu Chaoxi watched Boundless Lord in the distance, deep in thought.
…
Far away, Monk Wu suddenly asked by Boundless Lord’s side, “Is she the top genius of the Dimensional Universe’s younger generation?”
Boundless Lord nodded.
Monk Wu said gravely, “Truly terrifying!”
Boundless Lord laughed, “That girl has a shot at entering the Saint King Hall! And that Saint King Hall is the holy land in the hearts of all in the Dimensional Universe!”
Monk Wu asked, “Have you been there?”
Boundless Lord nodded.
Monk Wu glanced at him, “Are the people of the Saint King Hall also very respectful to you?”
Boundless Lord laughed heartily, “What do you think?”
Monk Wu gave a wry smile, “Boundless Lord, you hide your depths too well!”
Divinity suddenly said, “Boundless Lord, I’ve always been curious about something!”
Boundless Lord smiled, “Speak!”
Divinity said gravely, “You said before that your goal was to kill the Backing King. But you know so many powerful people, why did you recruit strong fighters in the Boundless Land back then?”
Boundless Lord sighed softly, “If I called in people from the Dimensional Universe, that fool would see the gap in strength and stop trying! He’d just call for help, got it?”
He shook his head slightly, “There was a chance to end him! Pity, someone was too afraid to block that woman in the plain skirt for me. Otherwise, it would’ve been over by now!”
Divinity asked, “The Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Boundless Lord nodded.
Divinity, curious, asked, “Is the Master of the Great Dao Pen powerful?”
Boundless Lord looked at Divinity, “What do you think?”
Divinity said gravely, “But I feel like he has no presence!”
Boundless Lord said softly, “That’s what makes him the most terrifying…”
Divinity: “…”
Boundless Lord added, “I advise you to talk less about him. That guy is even more shameless than Ye Xuan! You don’t have the Mandate of Heaven, so best keep a low profile!”
Divinity hesitated, then chose not to ask further.
As Boundless Lord said, it was better to stay low-key!
Boundless Lord looked into the distance, saying softly, “Let’s go see the Land of Shame at the entrance to the Ninth Dimensional Universe! Of course, for the Parallel Universe, that place isn’t a land of shame but a land of glory! All who fight against the Dimensional Universe are exemplars of the Parallel Universe.”
Monk Wu said gravely, “The conflict between the Parallel Universe and the Dimensional Universe runs deep!”
Boundless Lord laughed, “Same kind talk of right and wrong, different kind talk of stance. Conflict is perfectly normal!”
Monk Wu suddenly said, “Actually, I suddenly think the new order established by the Backing King isn’t bad!”
Boundless Lord fell silent.
Monk Wu looked at him, “What do you think?”
After a moment’s silence, Boundless Lord said, “It’s got nothing to do with me!”
Monk Wu gave a wry smile, “I think a brand-new order could make these universes more peaceful! Others might not pull it off, but the Backing King can!”
Boundless Lord laughed, “A brand-new order isn’t that simple, but…”
He paused, then added, “As you said, if any universe could create a new order, it’d probably be that fool who could do it! He’s got the people, the money, and a sharp mind, not bound by rigid thinking.”
Monk Wu smiled, “Once we stop opposing the Backing King, you realize he’s actually alright, though a bit too shameless!”
Boundless Lord glanced at Monk Wu, then looked into the distance, saying softly, “This world doesn’t need a new order…”
…
Ye Xuan returned to Guanxuan City.
Upon returning, he immediately found Qin Guan and placed a storage ring in front of her.
Qin Guan glanced at the ring, stunned to see it contained a full five hundred thousand Crystal Kings, “This many?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Qin Guan promptly took the ring, saying, “I’ll hold onto it!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
What the hell?
You’re just keeping it?
Qin Guan then handed him another storage ring, containing only one hundred thousand Crystal Kings, “This is for your cultivation. It should last a while, use it for now!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Uh…”
Qin Guan giggled, “You handle the outside, I handle the inside. You know Guanxuan City needs a lot of money to develop. With these Crystal Kings, I can make them multiply… oh, I mean, I can make money grow money!”
Ye Xuan said helplessly, “Fine!”
With that, he quickly took the storage ring!
Qin Guan smiled, “You gained a lot from this trip!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Quite a bit!”
Qin Guan said seriously, “I’ve thought it over. Our next step isn’t just in the Parallel Universe but also in the Dimensional Universe!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “The Dimensional Universe?”
Qin Guan nodded, “I’ve recently studied the Dimensional Universe, and it’s far more advanced than our Parallel Universe! For now, we can’t open an academy there due to different civilizations and cultures, but we can open an Immortal Treasure Pavilion!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You want to open an Immortal Treasure Pavilion there?”
Qin Guan nodded slightly, “Do business!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “That’s very difficult! They’d never let us open an Immortal Treasure Pavilion there!”
Qin Guan’s lips curled up, “I have a way!”
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “You have a way?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan grew more curious, “What way?”
Qin Guan laughed, “It’s a secret for now! Hehe…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan added, “Your top priority now is to break through! You need to reach the Other Shore Realm quickly and keep pushing forward!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I came back this time to cultivate!”
Qin Guan stood, “Then cultivate! I’ve got things to do!”
At that moment, Ye Xuan pulled out a map and pointed to a spot, “This is the Inner Domain. The Qin family has agreed to give it to us. There’s a dragon vein there! Send someone to take it over!”
Qin Guan glanced at it, surprised, “They just gave it to us?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Qin Guan gave a thumbs-up, “Impressive!”
Ye Xuan grinned, immensely proud.
Qin Guan said, “I’ll send someone to take it over right away! Also, I’d like to borrow your sword for a bit!”
Ye Xuan immediately said, “You’re building a teleportation array?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes! I’ve studied it, and the teleportation arrays in Ancient Wasteland are quite outdated, and only the top ten powers have them, not widespread. So, I want to build a complete teleportation array system here. Once it’s done, we’ll make a ton of money. But there are two issues. First, we’re not well-known enough, so if we build the arrays, someone might cause trouble. Second, we need to build arrays in many places, and each one needs someone to guard it. We’re short on people!”
She grinned, raising the storage ring, “I was worried at first, but not anymore!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Qin Guan smiled, “This money is a godsend! With it, I can do so much. Give me some time, and I can multiply this money tenfold.”
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “How will you make money?”
Qin Guan’s lips curled up, “Guess!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You’re not planning to scam people, are you? If so, I’d…”
Qin Guan glared at him, “What scam? I’m making money legitimately!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
