At this moment, the gray-robed old man’s heart was utterly shocked!
Just a moment ago, he’d nearly been erased in an instant!
He didn’t even have a chance to fight back!
And this was a man at the tenth stage of the life grid realm, a genuine tenth-stage powerhouse!
Then, Ye Xuan beside him suddenly said, “Senior, are you alright?”
The gray-robed old man snapped back to reality, hesitated, then said, “I dare not accept the title of ‘senior,’ I am Yao Jun, the Order Keeper of the Ninth Spacetime!”
Ye Xuan clasped his fists, “Old Lord Yao, Qing’er doesn’t hold back, this…”
Yao Jun quickly shook his head, “No, no, it’s my fault, I offended that senior, my mistake!”
He hesitated again, then asked, “Young friend, who is that senior?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What do you think?”
Yao Jun fell silent.
Just now, he hadn’t even located the woman in the plain skirt, yet she’d sensed him, swung a sword from who-knows-how-many universes away, and nearly killed him instantly!
Her strength was so far beyond his comprehension!
And that was what terrified him most, he was a tenth-stage life grid expert, a true top-tier powerhouse, not invincible, but with few rivals!
Yet he’d almost been one-shotted!
Too horrifying!
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Lord Yao, you just said you’re the Order Keeper of the Ninth Spacetime?”
Yao Jun nodded, “Indeed!”
Ye Xuan asked, “You govern this spacetime?”
Yao Jun quickly shook his head, “No, no, I’m just one of the Order Keepers here! The true rulers of this spacetime are the Spacetime Temple!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Spacetime Temple?”
Yao Jun nodded, “The Ninth Spacetime is incredibly complex, as far as we know, it’s infinite, endlessly vast, its density is also infinitely thick, it can’t be folded or twisted! This spacetime seems fixed! The Spacetime Temple is full of people dedicated to studying it.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “So there’s no Tenth Spacetime?”
Yao Jun nodded, “We haven’t found it yet!”
Ye Xuan paused, then looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, “Little Soul, can you sense a Tenth Spacetime?”
Little Soul trembled slightly, then said after a moment, “I can sense it!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when Yao Jun, beside him, stared in disbelief, “That’s impossible… absolutely impossible!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Why not?”
Yao Jun said gravely, “The Spacetime Temple has studied the Ninth Spacetime for countless ages, yet we’ve never found a Tenth, this…”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Senior, is twisting the Ninth Spacetime that hard?”
Yao Jun nodded, “Not just hard, we consider it impossible, its spacetime density is just too immense…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan gently waved the Qingxuan Sword, instantly twisting the space before him!
Seeing this, Yao Jun stood as if struck by lightning.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Lord Yao, it doesn’t seem that hard!”
Yao Jun: “…”
At that moment, Yao Jun’s face was deathly serious, his heart churning like a stormy sea.
This human could twist the Ninth Spacetime?
That was too terrifying!
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Lord Yao, do you know about Tao Mountain?”
Yao Jun nodded, “A little, why?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Nothing much, just some bad blood with them, they want to strip my life grid!”
Yao Jun blinked, then exclaimed, “How dare they?”
Ye Xuan sighed, “I’m weak, who else would they bully?”
Yao Jun glanced at him, then said, “Young friend, if that senior from before took action, this Tao Mountain, with a flick of her finger, wouldn’t it turn to ash?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “How can I rely on others? I need to depend on myself!”
Yao Jun: “…”
Ye Xuan added, “Lord Yao, I’m heading out!”
Yao Jun hesitated, then said, “Take care, young friend!”
Ye Xuan nodded and vanished.
After Ye Xuan left, Yao Jun immediately departed, soon arriving at the Spacetime Temple, the hall housed nearly a hundred spacetime teleportation arrays, above them sat a middle-aged man.
This was Si Qian, the Temple Master of the Spacetime Temple!
Yao Jun approached Si Qian, bowed respectfully, and recounted what had happened.
Si Qian set down an ancient tome, frowning at Yao Jun, “You were nearly killed across countless universes?”
Yao Jun nodded, “Exactly! And more importantly, that youth twisted the Ninth Spacetime, effortlessly!”
Si Qian’s eyes narrowed, “Really?”
Yao Jun said gravely, “Absolutely true! Though, he likely did it through that divine sword he holds!”
Si Qian stood abruptly, “Where is he now?”
Yao Jun said, “He left!”
Si Qian froze, then roared, “He left? How could you let him go?”
Yao Jun smiled bitterly, “He said he was leaving, I didn’t dare stop him! I was afraid he’d call someone to beat me to death!”
Si Qian: “…”
Yao Jun hesitated, then asked, “Temple Master Si Qian, who is that youth?”
Si Qian shook his head, “How would I know?”
He looked at Yao Jun, “Find him immediately, if you do, invite him to the Spacetime Temple!”
Yao Jun said gravely, “One more thing, he mentioned Tao Mountain’s after him! They want his life grid!”
Si Qian frowned, “Is Tao Mountain insane?”
Yao Jun said, “They probably don’t know the strength of those behind him! Temple Master, if Tao Mountain acts against him, what do we do? Watch or intervene?”
Si Qian paused for a long time, then said, “If he can handle it himself, we stay out, if he can’t, we step in!”
Yao Jun frowned, “Risk offending Tao Mountain?”
Si Qian said softly, “It’s worth it!”
Yao Jun nodded, “Understood!”
With that, he turned and left.
…
After leaving the Ninth Spacetime, Ye Xuan entered Little Tower to cultivate!
Now that Little Tower was unsealed, ten years inside equaled one day outside, he could use it to close the gap with his enemies!
With the Qingxuan Sword, he fused with the Eighth Spacetime effortlessly, not only that, he became immune to its spacetime forces, and most crucially, with the sword, he could fold spacetime four times!
So, though he was only at the seventeenth stage, he could easily slay Divine Spirit realm experts, and even fight life grid realm cultivators!
But the problem was, the Mountain People were at least ninth-stage life grid!
Thinking of this gave him a headache!
Still, he had no time for other thoughts, his priority was boosting his strength! With the Qingxuan Sword and Little Tower, that was quite doable!
Soon, Xue Tong joined him in Little Tower, discovering its incredible functions, she refused to leave, cultivating there daily!
Days passed.
Outside, days, inside Little Tower, decades, Ye Xuan reached the nineteenth stage, and with the Qingxuan Sword, he perfectly fused with the Ninth Spacetime, now able to fold it!
Entering the Ninth Spacetime required life grid realm strength, fusing with it was deemed impossible, yet he’d done it with the Qingxuan Sword!
He no longer knew the extent of his own combat power!
Ten days later, Ye Xuan hit the Limitless Realm, his mastery of spacetime growing ever smoother, he could now叠加 the first eight layers.
One day, a middle-aged man appeared above the God Sect, its experts looked up.
In the sky, the man scanned the sect, “Where’s Ye Xuan?”
As his voice fell, a sword light appeared before him—it was Ye Xuan!
The man sized him up, eyes narrowing, “Indeed, a special bloodline, and an innate ninth-stage life grid!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “Mountain Person?”
The man nodded, “Mountain Person!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, this guy was ninth-stage life grid!
The man suddenly said, “The God King Valley Master, Mu Gu, told me you’re from a low-tier civilization… that’s intriguing, a low-tier civilization producing someone with a special bloodline and a ninth-stage life grid! Not just mildly interesting!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You’re here to take my bloodline and life grid?”
The man nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Sir, to be frank, I’ve got someone behind me!”
The man laughed, “I know, so what?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Don’t you want to meet them?”
The man’s lips curled, “Are you threatening me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No, I just think you could meet them first, then decide if you still want to kill me!”
The man stared at Ye Xuan for a moment, then laughed, “Alright, let’s see them!”
Ye Xuan quickly handed over the Qingxuan Sword, “Sir, the one behind me forged this sword, with your strength, you can surely find them through it, go ahead!”
The man glanced at the Qingxuan Sword, his eyes narrowing, “This sword’s something special!”
Ye Xuan smiled, saying nothing.
The man looked at him, then said, “Let’s see who’s behind you!”
He gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly, instantly, the surrounding spacetime trembled, moments later, he looked up, and in that instant, a sword pierced his brow, driving straight through.
*Boom!*
The man’s eyes widened, his mind blank.
How the hell did I just get one-shotted?
