Inside the small tower, Ye Xuan stood quietly. In front of him, time and space overlapped bit by bit.
The overlapping of time and space!
Soon, he overlapped the first layer of time and space all the way to the fourth layer. However, he didn’t stop there, he continued to overlap them!
He added the sixth layer of time and space!
It was incredibly difficult!
The density of the sixth layer of time and space was equivalent to the combined thickness of all the previous layers. To overlap it with the earlier ones was a challenge beyond imagination!
Most importantly, this time he didn’t rely on the Qingxuan Sword!
Because the Qingxuan Sword was in the midst of a breakthrough, he was relying solely on his own strength this time!
As time ticked by, the sixth layer of time and space in front of Ye Xuan began to overlap with the previous layers. His face gradually turned pale, as the patch of time and space before him started to become unstable.
Slowly, beads of cold sweat appeared on Ye Xuan’s forehead!
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xuan’s right hand suddenly pressed downward with force.
Boom!
All the layers of time and space in front of him overlapped instantly. In that moment, an invisible wave of temporal-spatial pressure erupted from the space before him, causing the entire small tower to tremble violently!
At that moment, the small tower hurriedly said, “Little master, don’t mess around!”
With a gentle wave of Ye Xuan’s right hand, the time and space in front of him returned to normal!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. Although he was currently at the tenth stage, with this technique, he could fight a fifteenth-stage expert without any pressure, even without the Qingxuan Sword!
He hadn’t fully relied on the Qingxuan Sword. The sword merely served as a medium for him to connect with these layers of time and space. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t access them without it! Now, even without the Qingxuan Sword, he could enter the sixth layer of time and space. Of course, without the sword, he couldn’t ignore the pressures of time and space or the temporal abyss!
At that moment, he somewhat understood why Qing’er had forged the Qingxuan Sword for him!
Was it to enhance his combat strength?
That was surely only part of it. Qing’er’s true intention was for him to learn from the Qingxuan Sword!
The Qingxuan Sword was his greatest teacher!
Realising this, a smile crept onto Ye Xuan’s lips, and warmth filled his heart!
His little sister was definitely his real sister, his old man, on the other hand, might not be his real father!
After a while, Ye Xuan left the small tower.
He didn’t attempt to fold or merge the seventh layer of time and space, as it was far too terrifying! It was simply beyond his current ability to control!
Just as he stepped out of the small tower, Huan Ming appeared before him.
Huan Ming sized up Ye Xuan and smiled, “Young Ye, you’ve grown stronger!”
Ye Xuan returned a slight smile. “Senior Huan Ming, shall we head to the Huan Clan?”
Huan Ming hesitated for a moment before recounting the events of the Daluo Heavenly Realm.
After hearing Huan Ming’s words, Ye Xuan fell silent. Moments later, he looked at Huan Ming and said, “I’m sorry!”
Huan Ming shook his head. “Young Master Ye, please don’t say that. If it weren’t for Senior Plain-Skirt, I might never have broken through in this lifetime! To me, she’s given me a second chance at life!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “What are your plans now, Senior?”
Huan Ming hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, your sister gave me an idea, and I…”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “My sister?”
Huan Ming nodded. “Your sister!”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Senior, describe her appearance!”
Huan Ming opened his palm, and the space within it suddenly twisted. Soon, an illusory image of a woman appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this woman, Ye Xuan froze!
Sister Nian!
Sister Nian had actually come!
Ye Xuan hurriedly asked, “Senior, where is she now?”
Huan Ming gave a wry smile. “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. This Sister Nian, since she’d come, why hadn’t she come to see him?
And then there was Tu!
He hadn’t forgotten this little sister, of course. It had just been a very, very long time since he’d heard any news of Tu or Sister Nian!
Still, he believed that those two wouldn’t be doing too badly!
Joking aside, one was Sister Nian, whom even Qing’er held in high regard, and the other was once Qing’er’s first clone. How could they possibly be faring poorly?
Huan Ming then explained Sister Nian’s plan to Ye Xuan!
After hearing it, Ye Xuan was speechless.
How was this Sister Nian still so cunning?
Sending the Daluo Ancient Clan and the Huanggu Sect to look for Qing’er, his old man, and his big brother?
That was downright devious!
Huan Ming suddenly asked, “Young Ye, if I do this, will Senior Plain-Skirt and the others be angry?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “They won’t!”
Hearing this, Huan Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
Ye Xuan looked at Huan Ming. “Senior, have they really gone searching already?”
Huan Ming nodded. “According to my people’s reports, they’ve begun searching for Senior Plain-Skirt and the other two with all their might. I just don’t know if they’ve found them yet!”
Ye Xuan fell silent for a moment, then, as if realising something, his expression suddenly changed. “This isn’t good. If they can’t find them, they’ll definitely come looking for me!”
At that, Huan Ming’s expression shifted slightly too. “It seems so!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when a Huan Clan expert suddenly appeared before him. The expert bowed slightly and said, “Clan Leader, Young Ye, the leader of the Daluo Ancient Clan and the sect master of the Huanggu Sect are heading this way!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
Huan Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly. “They’re coming here?”
The Huan Clan expert nodded. “Indeed!”
Huan Ming turned to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, their target is likely you. We’ll escort you away, and you…”
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “Go where?”
Huan Ming fell silent.
Go where?
There was nowhere else to go!
Huan Ming said solemnly, “Young Ye, you go first. We’ll hold them off!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “Can your Huan Clan take on two at once?”
Huan Ming was about to speak when Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Their target is me. If I leave, they won’t let you off.”
With that, he looked up at the sky. “I’ll wait for them!”
Huan Ming frowned slightly. “Wait for them?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’ll wait for them!”
Huan Ming was puzzled. “Young Ye, you…”
Just then, the starry sky in the distance suddenly twisted, and a series of terrifying auras swept towards them.
They’d arrived!
A cold glint flashed in Huan Ming’s eyes. “They’re here!”
As his voice fell, countless Huan Clan experts appeared behind him.
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled and said, “Senior Huan Ming, tell your clan not to act!”
Huan Ming glanced at Ye Xuan but said nothing.
If a fight really broke out, he absolutely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing!
In any case, he’d firmly latched onto Ye Xuan’s coattails!
No one could stop him!
Just then, the space above everyone’s heads suddenly split open, and two figures stepped out!
It was none other than Huanggu Xing, the sect master of the Huanggu Sect, and Daluo Tian, the leader of the Daluo Ancient Clan!
Daluo Tian’s gaze immediately landed on Ye Xuan. “I presume you’re Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “That’s me!”
Daluo Tian stared at Ye Xuan. “You’ve been waiting for us?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Daluo Tian looked at Ye Xuan, a trace of wariness rising in his heart.
This human might come from a seventh-level civilisation! He’d never seen a seventh-level civilisation, but he knew that anyone from such a place wouldn’t be ordinary.
At that moment, Huanggu Xing suddenly smiled and said, “Young Master Ye, you know why we’re here, don’t you?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I do! You want to use me to find those three, right?”
Huanggu Xing looked at Ye Xuan. “Will Young Master Ye help us?”
Ye Xuan turned to Huanggu Xing and smiled. “If I don’t help, what will you do?”
Huanggu Xing smiled back. “What do you think we’ll do, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Daluo Tian suddenly spoke. “Young Master Ye, we don’t want to resort to force, but we hope you’ll cooperate. As long as you’re willing to help, we absolutely won’t harm you!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Gentlemen, to be frank, you might not be a match for those three…”
He paused, then added, “Though they’re gravely injured and their strength is suppressed, they’re still not people ordinary folk can handle!”
Gravely injured!
Strength suppressed!
Daluo Tian and Huanggu Xing exchanged a glance, a flicker of excitement passing through their eyes.
At that moment, Daluo Tian asked, “Young Master Ye, you said they’re gravely injured. Can you elaborate?”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Like me, they escaped. During their escape, they were severely wounded by a superpower from above, because they stole some divine artefacts from that superpower!”
Huanggu Xing suddenly asked, “What divine artefacts?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Huanggu Xing, then said, “I don’t know much, but I do know that the man in the green robe has a supreme divine artefact. That artefact can directly erase the eighth layer of time and space. Not only that, it can also alter the essence of life…”
Daluo Tian’s eyes narrowed. “The essence of life?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes! Beyond time and space lies life!”
He glanced at Daluo Tian and continued, “I reckon you’ve already touched upon the Way of Life, though you probably don’t know much about it!”
Daluo Tian nodded. “Indeed, not much!”
Ye Xuan said, “That man in the green robe also has other supreme divine artefacts. For instance, he has a Saint Gate. Entering that gate allows one to forge a Saint Body. Once the Saint Body is achieved, one can transcend the Way of Time and Space, ignoring all temporal pressures, abysses, and black holes.”
At that, Daluo Tian and the others’ expressions grew grave!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan added, “That man in the green robe is seriously injured!”
Daluo Tian looked at Ye Xuan. “How badly injured?”
Ye Xuan fell silent for a moment before saying, “His current strength is less than thirty percent of his peak! He can’t even activate those divine artefacts in his possession!”
From the side, Huanggu Xing suddenly asked, “How can we trust what you’re saying?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Huanggu Xing, then opened his palm. The Qingxuan Sword flew towards Daluo Tian. “Take a look at this sword!”
Daluo Tian examined the Qingxuan Sword, and in the next moment, his expression turned grave. “This…”
Ye Xuan looked at Daluo Tian. “This was dropped by that man in the green robe when he fled, and I picked it up by chance. On him, this kind of divine artefact is merely the lowest grade. He has at least a hundred supreme divine artefacts on him! Getting even one could completely change your fate! Right now, he’s extremely weak, it’s the perfect time to take him down. If he recovers from his injuries… well, you understand!”
With that, he stopped speaking!
