At that moment, Mu Qiu was so furious his lungs felt ready to explode!
Was this something a human would say?
Meanwhile, Xue Tong lowered her head slightly, a smirk tugging at her lips.
So many backers!
Awesome!
Just then, Ye Xuan sighed softly beside her, “I just want to live a normal life, but I can’t!”
He glanced at Mu Qiu, “I’m in so much pain, do you get it?”
Mu Qiu glared at Ye Xuan, his gaze like a blade, as if he wanted to slice Ye Xuan into a thousand pieces!
Ye Xuan spread his hands, “Come on, kill me, I won’t fight back!”
Mu Qiu’s fists clenched, his whole body trembling.
Ye Xuan roared, “What are you staring at? Come kill me! Get over here!”
Mu Qiu’s expression turned feral.
Ye Xuan shouted, “I’m begging you to kill me!”
Xue Tong: “…”
Mu Qiu’s face suddenly calmed, he glanced at the God King Valley below, then back at Ye Xuan, “I won’t kill you, I’ll piss you off instead!”
With that, he turned and left with the Ten Extremes Temple experts.
Ye Xuan looked at Xue Tong and sighed, “Being a second-gen is really tough, so…”
Xue Tong suddenly punched him square in the face.
*Bang!*
Ye Xuan flew a thousand feet away.
Xue Tong licked her candied hawthorn, glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance, and muttered, “He’ll get struck by lightning someday!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
…
On the other side, Mu Qiu’s face was dark as night.
An elder from the Ten Extremes Temple beside him said gravely, “Temple Master, this Ye Xuan is way too arrogant!”
Mu Qiu replied coldly, “He’s got the capital to be arrogant! The God King Valley won’t touch him, they must be wary of something, if we move against him, we might not even know how we die!”
The elder asked solemnly, “What do we do now?”
Mu Qiu paused, then said, “Wait and see, if the God King Valley doesn’t act, neither do we!”
With that, he turned and left.
…
Ye Xuan and Xue Tong returned to the God Sect, Ye Xuan resumed his cultivation, now attempting to enter the eighth layer of spacetime!
The Limitless Spacetime!
As soon as he stepped in, he felt an overwhelmingly terrifying spacetime pressure, and standing before him was an exact replica of himself.
At that moment, the God Sect Ancestor appeared beside him, he looked at Ye Xuan, “Do you know what ‘Limitless’ means?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
The God Sect Ancestor said gravely, “The so-called Limitless means boundless time, boundless space, in this spacetime, both time and space are infinite, not only infinite but mirrored, this person in front of you who looks exactly like you is actually you.”
As he spoke, he opened his palm and swept it lightly, instantly, countless versions of him appeared in the field.
Ye Xuan was startled, “What’s this?”
The God Sect Ancestor explained, “Each layer of spacetime is a new realm, the core of this eighth layer is mirror replication, you can use spacetime to create mirror copies, of course, achieving this is extremely difficult, even some Divine Spirit realm experts struggle with it!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why’s it so hard?”
The God Sect Ancestor said, “Because you first need to merge with the eighth layer of spacetime, then harness its unique properties to replicate mirrors, generally, only those at the life grid realm can manage it! Divine Spirit realm cultivators can at most use its spacetime pressure and folding functions.”
He paused, then added, “With your current strength, merging with this eighth layer is still very challenging!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly.
At that moment, he felt it was really tough!
If his enemies were peers, he wouldn’t fear them, but the problem was, these foes were leagues above him! The Mountain People had their eyes on him now, and the weakest of them were ninth-stage life grid experts!
Ninth-stage life grid!
How could he fight that?
He felt a bit powerless!
Just then, Li Muqi appeared, he said gravely, “The God King Valley and Ten Extremes Temple have gone quiet!”
Ye Xuan said softly, “They’re waiting for the Mountain People to come down!”
The God Sect Ancestor said solemnly, “Young one, your innate ninth-stage life grid is too enticing for those Mountain People! The Ten Extremes Temple and God King Valley won’t touch you, but the Mountain People won’t care about consequences!”
Ye Xuan looked at the God Sect Ancestor, “Senior, how much do you know about this Tao Mountain?”
The God Sect Ancestor shook his head, “Not much! I never climbed it back in my day!”
Ye Xuan was confused, “Why not?”
The God Sect Ancestor smiled wryly, “I didn’t qualify!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Soon after, the God Sect Ancestor and Li Muqi left.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, deep in thought.
He could already guess the next plot, Mountain People would come for him, he’d be outmatched, and at the critical moment of life and death, either his dad, Qing’er, or big brother would show up…
That’s how it always went!
He, Ye Xuan, felt like a puppet in the hands of fate!
Rely on himself?
He wanted to, but right now, even with the Qingxuan Sword unsealed, he couldn’t beat a ninth-stage life grid expert—they weren’t even in the same league, unless his bloodline fully awakened, but aside from his dad or Qing’er, no one could unlock it, and even if they did, he couldn’t control such a terrifying mad demon bloodline!
After a long silence, Ye Xuan muttered, “Dad, I want to solve everything on my own too, but the enemies are too strong, I really can’t do it! I know you don’t want me to rely on you, don’t worry, I won’t!”
With that, he stood and left.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young master, you’re really not relying on your dad anymore?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Can’t depend on him! He’d look down on me!”
Little Tower said gravely, “Then what if the Mountain People come for you?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Don’t I still have my sister?”
Little Tower: “…”
…
Ye Xuan reached a mountaintop, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes, focusing on the Qingxuan Sword.
Soon, he sensed it in his sea of consciousness!
At that moment, the Qingxuan Sword was bound by a wisp of sword light—his father’s sword light!
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Qing’er, you forged this sword, I know you can hear me, I need you to help unseal the Qingxuan…”
Before he finished, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently.
*Boom!*
The sword light locking it shattered, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared before him!
Ye Xuan blinked, then grinned, “Dear sister!”
Little Tower chimed in excitedly, “Young master, the seal the master left in me is gone too!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Little Soul, can you contact Qing’er?”
Little Soul paused, then said, “Young master, I can’t reach her!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, “If you can’t, that’s fine!”
He looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, then stepped into Little Tower.
Inside, he entered the eighth layer of spacetime, and with the Qingxuan Sword, he fused with it instantly, countless mirrors appearing around him!
With the Qingxuan Sword, this eighth layer was like his playground—he could do whatever he wanted, and it felt amazing!
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young master, aren’t you worried about relying too much on external tools?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Little Tower, what’s more important, relying on tools or staying alive?”
Little Tower replied, “Staying alive!”
Ye Xuan said softly, “I’ve got to survive first! Clearly, Dad just wants to toughen me up, but he hasn’t thought about how I’m supposed to live through this!”
He paused, then added, “Little Tower, Dad sent me to such a dangerous place, what do you think he’s thinking?”
Little Tower hesitated, then said, “Maybe the master figured, if you die, he’ll just have another kid!”
Ye Xuan’s face froze.
Moments later, he used the Qingxuan Sword to enter the ninth layer of spacetime, as he stepped in, his expression changed drastically, he found himself in an unknown starry expanse, surrounded by dead silence, countless stars glimmered, yet they were impossibly distant.
Just then, a gray-robed old man appeared before him, Ye Xuan’s face paled—there was someone here?
The gray-robed old man stared at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Who are you?”
The old man suddenly noticed the sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, his brows furrowed, “You…”
Ye Xuan quickly held out the Qingxuan Sword, “Take a good look! Make sure you see it clearly!”
Damn it, if you don’t look closely, I’m afraid you’ll kill me!
The old man took the Qingxuan Sword, after a moment, his expression grew extremely grave, he looked at Ye Xuan, “Who forged this sword?”
Ye Xuan said, “My sister!”
The old man frowned, “Your sister?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The old man fell silent for a long time, “You… what are you doing here?”
Ye Xuan replied, “Just looking around!”
The old man shook his head, “It’s dangerous, you should go back!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Senior, you can use this sword to find its forger, give it a try!”
Little Tower was speechless, damn, this young master’s too sly, digging a pit for someone!
The old man paused, then said, “I’d like to meet this sword’s creator too!”
With that, he gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly, it trembled violently, the surrounding spacetime began to blur, moments later, he clenched his right hand and shouted, “Come out!”
As his voice fell, the space before him split open, a sword light pierced his brow, and in an instant, the ninth layer of spacetime within a hundred thousand miles disintegrated!
The old man’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
I got one-shotted?
Just as he was about to vanish, Ye Xuan shouted, “Qing’er, show mercy, this senior’s with me, he’s one of us!”
As his voice rang out, the sword light in the old man’s brow vanished…
The old man’s expression froze, his gut told him he’d just been played!
