After Gu Ming left the palace, he entered a silent expanse of starry sky.
Gu Ming glanced around and smiled faintly, “Still not coming out?”
Swoosh!
A strand of sword light suddenly appeared between his brows.
Gu Ming neither dodged nor avoided it.
Boom!
Gu Ming’s body trembled violently, and he was forced back a hundred zhang!
When he finally stopped, there was a deep sword mark between his brows.
Standing opposite him was Ye Xuan!
Gu Ming gently touched the blood between his brows and said softly, “What a terrifying sword! It actually managed to injure my physical body!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What a terrifying physical body! My sword actually failed to shatter it!”
At this moment, a trace of seriousness flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes.
He had just used the Qingxuan Sword!
Yet, his opponent had withstood his sword strike with his bare body!
This was no ordinary level of terror!
Gu Ming looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “So, you are Ye Xuan!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Indeed!”
Gu Ming gave Ye Xuan a once-over and smiled, “Not bad at all! I took one of your sword strikes just now. Now, it’s your turn to take one of my punches!”
The moment his voice fell, his fist was already in front of Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan reacted swiftly. As the punch arrived, he drew his sword and slashed repeatedly!
Drawing the Sword to Decide Life and Death!
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted in front of Ye Xuan!
Boom!
The entire starry sky was instantly annihilated!
Ye Xuan was sent flying tens of thousands of zhang away, while Gu Ming did not retreat a single step. However, there was a deep sword mark on his fist, revealing bone!
Ye Xuan’s sword could break through his defense!
Not only that, after being struck by Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword, his entire physical body began to grow somewhat illusory!
Gu Ming glanced at the sword mark on his right hand, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Ye Xuan, “What a fine sword!”
Ye Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “What a formidable physical body!”
Gu Ming’s physical body was far stronger than he had anticipated!
Gu Ming smiled, “Again!”
As his voice fell, he took a step forward.
Boom!
With this step, the starry sky was obliterated, and countless starlights began to fade away bit by bit.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s pupils constricted sharply. He held the Qingxuan Sword horizontally to block.
Boom!
Invincible Sword Domain!
An overwhelmingly terrifying force, like a collapsing sky, slammed into Ye Xuan’s sword domain. Yet, his sword domain held firm!
Seeing this, Gu Ming frowned slightly, “Impressive sword technique! You…”
Before he could finish, a sword suddenly slashed towards him at an incredible speed. Before Gu Ming could react, the Qingxuan Sword had already struck his forehead.
Flying Sword!
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and a deep sword mark appeared on Gu Ming’s forehead!
But he neither died nor retreated!
In the distance, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand.
Gu Ming stared at Ye Xuan, “Your sword techniques are all incredibly powerful!”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
The physical strength of the Ancient Demon Clan’s leader far exceeded his expectations!
At this moment, Gu Ming suddenly said, “Your physical body is also quite extraordinary…”
Only now did he realize that Ye Xuan’s physical body was also far from ordinary!
Although Ye Xuan had been forced back by his punch, Ye Xuan had only sustained minor injuries!
Gu Ming couldn’t help but frown.
He realized that he might have underestimated Ye Xuan.
In the distance, just as Ye Xuan was about to make his move, Xiao An appeared beside him.
Xiao An looked at Ye Xuan, “I’ll take it from here!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright!”
He knew that Xiao An had always wanted to fight Gu Ming!
And he needed Xiao An to keep Gu Ming occupied!
Gu Ming looked at Xiao An, “An Wujun, we meet again!”
Xiao An said indifferently, “Enough talk, let’s fight!”
As her voice fell, she disappeared.
In the distance, Gu Ming smiled slightly and also vanished into the void.
Both of them had entered an unknown starry sky.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, Jing Zhi appeared in front of him.
Jing Zhi smiled, “You want to go and kill the strong ones of the Ancient Demon Clan!”
Ye Xuan smiled and asked, “Are you going to stop me?”
Jing Zhi shook her head, “I just want to remind you of something!”
Ye Xuan asked, “What is it?”
Jing Zhi looked at Ye Xuan, “The fact that you possess the mysterious little pagoda is now known throughout the Divine Ancient Realm!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned, “The entire Divine Ancient Realm?”
Jing Zhi smiled, “Yes! Many people are very interested in your little pagoda, especially the Ancient Demon Clan and the Taiyi Clan!”
Ye Xuan asked, “What about you?”
Jing Zhi blinked, then said, “I’m also very interested!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You want me to fight those powerful beings from the Divine Ancient Realm, and then you can reap the benefits!”
Jing Zhi nodded, “Exactly!”
Ye Xuan suddenly sighed softly.
Jing Zhi was somewhat puzzled, “Why are you sighing?”
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, “Miss Jing Zhi, I’ve heard from Xiao An about the grievances between you and her! I think your father made the right choice in choosing Xiao An!”
Hearing this, Jing Zhi’s eyes narrowed, and a hint of killing intent flashed within them.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Do you know why? Because you focus too much on playing these schemes and plots! And schemes and plots cannot make your Holy Hall stronger! Of course, wisdom is also a part of strength! But you’ve overlooked the most important point, and that is true power!”
Jing Zhi shook her head and smiled, “Are you lecturing me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Miss Jing Zhi, you think you can manipulate everyone in the universe, but in fact, you’re wrong!”
Jing Zhi smiled, “Wrong? How so?”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and the little pagoda appeared in his hand. He flicked his finger, and the pagoda landed in front of Jing Zhi.
Jing Zhi frowned, “What do you mean?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The pagoda is right in front of you. I’m giving it to you now. Do you dare to take it?”
Dare you?
Jing Zhi’s eyes narrowed!
She truly didn’t dare!
Not because of Ye Xuan, but because of the woman in the plain skirt!
The cold gaze of the woman in the plain skirt once again appeared in her mind!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Take it!”
Jing Zhi stared at Ye Xuan, “Are you trying to humiliate me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Miss Jing Zhi, I’m not that bored! Someone once told me, why focus on this universe? Why not broaden your horizons?”
Jing Zhi’s eyes narrowed, “What do you mean?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Even if you dominate this existing universe, what’s the point? Is there any?”
Jing Zhi said solemnly, “What exactly do you mean!”
Ye Xuan looked at Jing Zhi, “Qing’er has already leaped out of this existing universe, did you know that?”
Jing Zhi looked at Ye Xuan and said nothing.
Ye Xuan continued, “I know how to leap out of this existing universe!”
Hearing this, Jing Zhi’s eyelids twitched, “You… you know?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Of course I know!”
Jing Zhi instinctively asked, “How can one leap out of this existing universe?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why should I tell you?”
Jing Zhi stared at Ye Xuan, “You don’t know at all!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “You’re right, I don’t know at all!”
After saying this, he turned and left!
Jing Zhi’s expression turned somewhat ugly!
Damn it, this man is trying to tempt me!
Without any hesitation, Jing Zhi followed Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan glanced at Jing Zhi, “Do you have something to say, Miss Jing Zhi?”
Jing Zhi said solemnly, “I’ve met your sister!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I know!”
Jing Zhi turned to look at Ye Xuan, “You know?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I guessed!”
Jing Zhi looked at Ye Xuan, “How exactly can one leap out of this universe?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Why should I tell you?”
Jing Zhi stared at Ye Xuan for a long time, then smiled; “So you’re trying to trick me into working for you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Miss Jing Zhi, do you know why the supreme beings of this universe are helping me? Not just them, but also over a dozen Divine Emperors, they…”
Jing Zhi suddenly frowned, “Over a dozen Divine Emperors?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Yes! Over a dozen Divine Emperors! They’re all helping me, what about it?”
Jing Zhi stared at Ye Xuan, “Where did over a dozen Divine Emperors come from?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “It’s a secret! A secret!”
Jing Zhi fell silent.
Ye Xuan continued, “Miss Jing Zhi, your focus is still on this universe, but many people have already set their sights beyond the universe! If one doesn’t leap out of this universe, they will eventually return to dust!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Zhi, “Do you know why Qing’er is so powerful? Because she has mastered a Dao far beyond this universe, hmm, that is, above the Great Dao! Do you know what lies above the Great Dao?”
Jing Zhi asked, “What lies above the Great Dao?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “It’s a secret! A secret! I don’t tell just anyone!”
Jing Zhi stared intently at Ye Xuan, “You’re trying to trick me!”
Ye Xuan quickly nodded, “Yes, yes! I’m trying to trick you, Miss Jing Zhi. Don’t believe a word I say. Leaping out of the universe, what lies above the Great Dao—it’s all nonsense I made up. You definitely shouldn’t believe it!”
After saying this, he quickly walked away.
Jing Zhi stared at Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, wanting to skin him alive at this moment!
Her intuition told her that Ye Xuan was trying to trick her!
But her reason told her that Ye Xuan might actually know how to leap out of this existing universe!
Because the woman in the plain skirt had already leaped out of this existing universe, and what was the relationship between the woman in the plain skirt and Ye Xuan?
They were siblings!
Moreover, the woman in the plain skirt doted on Ye Xuan to an extreme degree!
Even if Ye Xuan didn’t know, wouldn’t the woman in the plain skirt tell him if he asked?
She definitely would!
Jing Zhi suddenly looked up at the sky, a trace of confusion in her eyes!
As Ye Xuan said, was her vision too narrow?
What was the point of dominating this existing universe?
There was definitely a point, but it couldn’t compare to leaping out of this existing universe!
That was completely different!
Leaping out of this existing universe—no one in the history of the Divine Ancient Realm had ever done it!
And who wouldn’t want to see the scenery beyond the universe?
And what lies above the Great Dao…
Jing Zhi looked towards the distant end of the starry sky. Did she really have to side with this bastard?
She was unwilling!
But what Ye Xuan said was too tempting…
…
At the distant end of the starry sky, the little pagoda inside Ye Xuan’s body suddenly asked, “Little Master, what lies above the Great Dao?”
Ye Xuan said, “I was just spouting nonsense, and you believed it?”
The little pagoda was silent for a moment, then said, “I was careless!”
