Moments later, Boundless Lord left the bottom of the well.
For Mu Xingzhi, that was all the help he could offer!
In the arena, Ancient Saint King and the others looked at Boundless Lord with varied expressions.
They realised that Boundless Lord was even more mysterious than they had imagined, as it was clear from his demeanour that this wasn’t his first time in the Divine Wilderness Forbidden Land!
With this thought, Ancient Saint King suddenly asked, “Boundless Lord, it seems this isn’t your first time here!”
Boundless Lord chuckled lightly, “I’ve been here a few times!”
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Ancient Saint King frowned slightly where he stood.
Moments later, he and his group followed in the same direction.
Upon entering the Divine Wilderness, Ancient Saint King and his companions were on high alert. The place exuded an air of desolation and eeriness.
For safety, they all followed Boundless Lord’s path!
At that moment, Boundless Lord suddenly stopped. Not far ahead stood a stone pillar, and on it, a middle-aged man was tightly bound by a runic chain!
The man slowly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Boundless Lord, he grew visibly excited, “Boundless! You’ve come!”
Boundless Lord smiled, “Mingzong, how are you holding up?”
The man, named Mingzong, gave a bitter smile, “Do I look like I’m doing well?”
Boundless Lord glanced at him and chuckled, “Not great!”
Mingzong said gravely, “Boundless, can you point me to a way out?”
Boundless Lord fell silent.
Mingzong continued, “These hopeless days are too much to bear! Boundless, I know you’re acquainted with the Master of the Great Dao Pen. Can you tell me how I can break free?”
Boundless Lord looked at Mingzong, “Back then, you pointed at his nose and cursed him!”
Mingzong gave a wry smile, “I was young, arrogant, and ignorant!”
Boundless Lord remained silent.
Mingzong pressed, “Boundless, please, show me a way!”
Boundless Lord said, “Soon, a shameless young man will come here. He’s your chance. Whether you can seize it depends on you!”
Mingzong frowned, “A shameless young man?”
Boundless Lord nodded, “Yes! You’ll know when you see him!”
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Mingzong, silent for a long while, said, “Thank you!”
He looked up at the sky, a glimmer of hope in his eyes!
Ancient Saint King and the others glanced at Mingzong, then hurriedly followed Boundless Lord.
At that moment, Boundless Lord stopped again, looking at Ancient Saint King and his group with a smile, “Why are you following me?”
Ancient Saint King hesitated, then said, “Boundless, we came here seeking opportunities. Can you point us to a path?”
Boundless Lord pointed to the right, “Go that way. You’ll find what you’re looking for!”
Ancient Saint King immediately said, “Thank you!”
With that, he led his group into the distance.
Boundless watched them go, shaking his head.
Monk Wu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Boundless Lord sighed softly, “How far a person’s path can go often depends, beyond their own efforts, on one crucial factor!”
Monk Wu asked, “What factor?”
Boundless Lord smiled, “Choosing the right side!”
With that, he walked off.
Choosing the right side!
Monk Wu and Divine exchanged a glance, falling silent.
Divine suddenly asked, “Boundless, what’s in the direction you pointed them to?”
Boundless Lord replied, “The legacies of some powerhouses who’ve been imprisoned to death!”
Divine said gravely, “Stronger than those Saint Kings?”
Boundless Lord chuckled, “Dozens of times stronger, at least!”
Both were stunned!
Divine exclaimed, “How is that possible?”
Boundless Lord turned to Divine, shaking his head, “You haven’t seen the world!”
Divine was speechless.
Boundless continued, “That Mingzong just now, do you know what level of powerhouse he is?”
Both shook their heads.
Boundless Lord said softly, “He alone could easily wipe out those nine Saint Kings!”
Divine said gravely, “Then why is he sealed there?”
Boundless Lord smiled, “Because their opponent was the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Divine fell silent!
Only then did he realise how terrifying the legendary Master of the Great Dao Pen was!
At that moment, Boundless Lord stopped again, looking into the distance. On a massive boulder sat a middle-aged man.
The man, with white hair and clad in a loose black robe, sat as if in deep meditation!
He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Boundless Lord, and closed them again.
Boundless Lord approached and smiled, “Jiawu, long time no see!”
Jiawu said coolly, “You seem to be doing well!”
Boundless Lord laughed, “Of course! Haha…”
Jiawu, after a moment’s silence, asked, “Why didn’t you join us against the Master of the Great Dao Pen back then?”
Boundless Lord shook his head, “There was no chance of winning!”
Jiawu opened his eyes, staring at Boundless Lord, “Are you content to be manipulated by him forever?”
Boundless Lord smiled, “I’m free now, while you lot are anything but!”
A flash of hostility crossed Jiawu’s eyes, “So what? I’d rather die than submit to him!”
Boundless Lord shook his head slightly, “Pointless!”
Jiawu’s expression calmed, “It’s for freedom!”
Boundless Lord glanced at him, “Did the Master of the Great Dao Pen restrict your freedom?”
Jiawu frowned.
Boundless Lord continued, “He didn’t restrict your freedom. He just set some rules for you to follow, rules that don’t harm you. Yet you insist he’s controlling you…”
He shook his head, “To be blunt, he has no interest in you. You’re the ones taking yourselves too seriously, feeling offended!”
Jiawu glared at Boundless Lord, “Boundless, are you that spineless?”
Boundless Lord shook his head, “Keep raging helplessly here then!”
With that, he walked off.
Jiawu suddenly snarled, “Boundless, you’re the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s lapdog!”
Boundless stopped, thought for a moment, and said, “You want to defy the Master of the Great Dao Pen? I’ll tell you a way. There’s a young man named Ye Xuan, the Chosen One of this generation. Kill him, and the Master of the Great Dao Pen will fall! He’s in the parallel universe now!”
The Chosen One!
Jiawu’s expression darkened, “I’m trapped here. How can I kill him?”
Boundless Lord smiled, “I’ll help you!”
He opened his palm and pressed lightly.
Boom!
The mysterious rune on Jiawu dimmed!
Boundless Lord said, “Now, your soul can leave! But there’s a time limit. If you don’t return within an hour, this law will destroy your body, and your soul will be hunted by it!”
With that, he turned and left.
Jiawu said gravely, “Killing Ye Xuan will truly bring down the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Boundless Lord nodded, “Kill him, and I guarantee the Master will fall! I swear it!”
He opened his palm and swept it lightly, revealing Ye Xuan’s image to Jiawu, “This is the guy! His name is Ye Xuan!”
Jiawu gave Boundless Lord a cold glance. The next moment, his soul shot out, vanishing at the edge of the Divine Wilderness.
After Jiawu left, Monk Wu looked at Boundless Lord, “Were you deceiving him?”
Boundless Lord said calmly, “I didn’t deceive him. Killing the Backer King will indeed bring down the Master!”
Monk Wu hesitated, then said, “But that’s the Backer King! Can he kill him?”
Boundless Lord’s expression remained calm, “What’s that got to do with me? If he can’t, isn’t that his own problem?”
Monk Wu stared at Boundless Lord, stunned, “You’re much stronger than him. If you dislike him, why not just kill him? Why trick him like this?”
Boundless Lord glanced at Monk Wu, “He and I have no grudge. Why would I kill him? Just because he insulted me? That won’t do. I’m not petty, understand?”
Monk Wu’s expression froze.
…
Guanxuan Academy.
Now, Qingqiu had arrived in Ancient Wilderness. With her presence, Ye Xuan and Qin Guan were naturally delighted!
The news of Qingqiu slaying a Dimension Universe powerhouse spread rapidly across Ancient Wilderness!
Qingqiu’s name became known to all in Ancient Wilderness!
This time, Qingqiu brought a team to Ancient Wilderness, as Guanxuan Universe was largely stable, with only the establishment of full order remaining!
Dimension Universe.
One day, Qingqiu brought Ye Xuan directly to the ninth level of the Dimension Universe!
Before the Saint King Hall.
Qingqiu looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Brother, cultivate here!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
He truly needed dimensional power now!
Without wasting words, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged and began absorbing the surrounding dimensional power frantically!
His goal was the Dimension Realm!
Qingqiu stood by, quietly watching over him.
Ye Xuan’s cultivation before the Saint King Hall naturally drew the attention of Dimension Universe powerhouses, but none dared disturb him!
Ye Xuan cultivated openly in the Dimension Universe!
Meanwhile, Qin Guan led her team to establish the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and Guanxuan Academy in the Dimension Universe!
Moreover, Qin Guan was building teleportation arrays between the Dimension Universe and the Parallel Universe, believing that the two would eventually merge into one!
Surprisingly, the Dimension Universe remained silent about Qin Guan’s actions!
They were all waiting, waiting for the Saint Kings in the Saint King Hall!
At that moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared in the Ninth Dimension Universe, causing the entire universe to boil!
Qingqiu glanced up, her expression calm.
A soul form appeared not far from Qingqiu and Ye Xuan.
It was Jiawu!
Looking at Ye Xuan, who was meditating in the distance, Jiawu frowned, “Why is this generation’s Chosen One so weak? Are you sure you’re not a fake?”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
