Meili glanced at Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
She naturally didn’t quite believe Ye Xuan’s words, this human didn’t seem the honest type at first glance, but she didn’t press further.
Ye Xuan didn’t say more either, he began consulting Meili about the ways of space-time.
Space-time folding!
If he could master space-time folding and pair it with his Qingxuan Sword, who could stop him? In the days that followed, Ye Xuan studied daily with Meili on how to fold space-time.
Folding space-time wasn’t particularly hard, he easily managed the first layer! But folding the second layer posed some difficulty! Still, he succeeded in three days!
Folding the third layer, however, was at least dozens of times harder!
In Meili’s words, space-time has density, the higher you go, the thicker it gets, and the thicker the density, the harder it is to fold!
What’s space-time density?
To figure this out, Ye Xuan spent nearly a month!
Everything has density!
Space-time density was just one kind!
Soon, Ye Xuan could fold the third layer, and after mastering that, he started getting familiar with the fourth.
While Ye Xuan trained on the fourth layer, Meili studied his Qingxuan Sword nearby!
Looking at the sword in her hand, Meili fell into deep thought.
The mysteries of this sword completely exceeded her understanding, especially the space-time principles within, their profundity outstripped even this small tower.
Who forged this?
At this moment, her thirst for revenge had faded, the person behind this human, even if not powerful enough to subdue the Phantom Tribe, was certainly beyond the Tianfu’s reach.
Her current goal was to slowly unravel the Qingxuan Sword, ideally mastering it fully, she was convinced that if she could, she’d ascend to a new level!
Just then, Ye Xuan approached her, “Miss Meili, I can now fold the fourth layer! But this fifth layer…”
Meili set down the Qingxuan Sword, smiling, “Hard, isn’t it?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’ve realised it’s practically impossible to fold!”
Meili looked at him, “Do you know why the fifth layer is so tough?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No idea!”
Meili explained, “The fifth layer, also called the Multidimensional Space-Time, is countless layers overlapping, its density is about a hundred times that of the fourth! Folding space-time of that density, how could it be easy?”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Is there any way?”
Meili pondered, then said, “Two methods, first, take it slow, cultivate for a thousand years or so, you should manage it!”
A thousand years!
Ye Xuan’s face froze, that’d be months in real time, then he thought, actually, that’s not too long, considering the small tower.
Meili continued, “The other method is to merge with the fifth layer!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Merge with the fifth layer?”
Meili nodded, “That’s harder, but it has many benefits, if you can merge with it, not only can you fold space-time, you could reverse and twist it too!”
Ye Xuan blinked again, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Meili frowned, “What do you mean?”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword appeared, the next moment, he vanished into the fifth layer, instantly merging with it!
Seeing this, Meili’s expression turned grave, “You…”
Realising something, she stared at the Qingxuan Sword, “It’s that sword!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Yep!”
Meili glared at him, “This sword lets you merge with space-time!”
Ye Xuan nodded, then thought of something, asking, “Miss Meili, normally, how long would it take to merge with the fifth layer?”
Meili said gravely, “At least a hundred thousand years!”
Ye Xuan gaped, “A hundred thousand years? Are you serious?”
Meili snapped, “Do you think merging with space-time is simple?”
Ye Xuan gave an awkward smile, “It felt pretty easy to me!”
Meili fumed, “That’s because of your sword! Without it, no chance in tens of thousands of years!”
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword, chuckling, “I’d love to cultivate normally, but my strength just won’t let me!”
Meili abruptly closed her eyes, pressing a hand to her chest.
Ye Xuan asked quickly, “What’s wrong, Meili?”
Meili glanced at him, “Chest pain!”
Ye Xuan blurted, “Want me to rub it for you?”
He regretted it instantly!
Damn it!
What was he thinking?
Meili gave a half-smile, “Rub it?”
Ye Xuan laughed nervously, “Miss Meili, just kidding! I, Ye Xuan, have no interest in feminine charms, let’s get to business! Now that I’ve merged with the fifth layer, what’s next?”
Meili looked at him, then said calmly, “Simple, feel it, truly understand its nature, you’ve merged with it, doing this isn’t hard!”
Ye Xuan nodded, gave it a try, soon a smile spread across his face, as Meili said, it wasn’t difficult, of course, only if you could merge with the fifth layer!
Before long, Ye Xuan began folding the fifth layer!
Nearby, Meili watched him closely, her heart brimming with shock.
She’d underestimated the Qingxuan Sword yet again!
Ye Xuan had merged with the fifth layer using the sword, just how terrifying was it?
No answer!
Its space-time knowledge surpassed her current understanding!
Soon, Ye Xuan could fold the fifth layer, but he didn’t move to the sixth, he needed to first blend this folding technique with his flying sword!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, a thousand metres away, the Qingxuan Sword appeared silently!
Seeing this, a grin curled Ye Xuan’s lips.
It worked!
Space-time folding could indeed pair with his flying sword!
Beside him, Meili’s gaze on Ye Xuan grew solemn! With space-time folding, his flying sword’s speed was nothing short of terrifying!
That strike could instantly kill some Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses!
Instantly!
And the sword’s horror didn’t end there, the Qingxuan Sword wasn’t ordinary, nothing in this world could likely withstand it! One strike, and aside from folding space-time to flee, there was no other option!
No one dared face this sword head-on!
Just then, Ye Xuan’s form flickered, the next moment, he’d entered the sixth layer.
Seeing this, Meili stared at him like he was a freak, her voice trembling, “You… you can even enter the sixth layer?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Yeah! What, is that hard?”
Meili raged, “Are you speaking human words? Huh? Do you know how long it took me to reach the sixth layer? A full sixteen thousand years! Sixteen thousand years! Do you know how I survived those?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Sixteen thousand years… isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”
Meili’s eyes blazed as if they’d spit fire, “Try it without that sword! I beg you, big brother, try it without it!”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “This sword was forged by my sister, you could ask your sister to make you one too!”
Meili’s eyes slowly shut, her fists clenched, her chest heaving, she was on the verge of hitting someone!
Ye Xuan chuckled awkwardly, “Miss Meili, don’t be mad, I meant no harm! I know cultivation’s tough, I took a shortcut with this sword to the sixth layer, I’m not smug about it, I know it’s all thanks to the sword, without it…”
He paused, then added, “Without it, I could just ask Qing’er to forge me another! Not a big deal!”
“Pfft!”
Meili spat out a mouthful of blood in fury.
Too damn infuriating!
Ye Xuan started to say more, but Meili roared, “Shut up! Shut your mouth! One more word, and I’ll kill you!”
With that, she stormed off!
She couldn’t bear listening to him anymore! This human’s words could drive her to death!
Seeing Meili leave, Ye Xuan was at a loss, he didn’t dwell on the sword issue, instead focusing on merging with the sixth layer!
With the Qingxuan Sword’s aid, merging wasn’t hard, soon he’d done it, then began folding the sixth layer.
This time, it wasn’t as easy as before, the sixth layer’s density was at least a hundred times thicker than the fifth!
Folding it was incredibly taxing!
Ye Xuan found it challenging!
But he didn’t give up, he kept trying.
Time ticked by, over a decade later, as Meili studied the Qingxuan Sword, her brow suddenly furrowed, the next moment, she looked up, “They’re here!”
Nearby, Ye Xuan asked puzzledly, “What’s here?”
Meili turned to him, “Beast Spirit Tribe powerhouses!”
Ye Xuan’s brow creased, he stepped out of the small tower, the instant he did, the black-robed figure and a group of mysterious powerhouses appeared before him, the black-robed figure opened his mouth to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, the next moment, before the figure could react, his head flew off, simultaneously, the Qingxuan Sword absorbed his soul.
All the arriving Beast Spirit Tribe powerhouses were stunned!
Ye Xuan glanced at them, “Call your ancestors! I’m invincible, do as you please!”
Meili, “…”
Beast Spirit Tribe powerhouses, “…”
