It must be said that at this moment, both Xiao Yun and Lin Yao were utterly shocked.
Twisting the Ninth Layer of Space-Time!
Not to mention them, even their fathers’ generation couldn’t achieve that!
Yet this human before them could twist the Ninth Layer of Space-Time!
It was beyond abnormal!
Even the arrogant Yang Feng fell silent at this moment.
Twisting the Ninth Layer of Space-Time—if it hadn’t happened right before his eyes, he’d never have believed it, not even if it killed him!
At this moment, he realized this human wasn’t as simple as he’d thought!
Then, Ye Xuan suddenly chuckled, “Earlier, someone came by, seemed like he was at the Ninth Stage of the Destiny Realm, I don’t know his name, all I know is he was far too weak! Couldn’t even take one of my sword strikes, utterly boring!”
With that, he glanced at the trio—Lin Feng and the others—“Let’s not waste time, the three of you can come at me together!”
Xiao Yun and Lin Yao’s expressions darkened.
At that moment, Yang Feng snarled, “Ye Xuan, you’re pretty damn arrogant!”
Ye Xuan turned to Yang Feng, smiling, “Arrogant? This is arrogant?”
He shook his head with a laugh, “Let me show you what real arrogance looks like!”
With that, he fused directly with the Ninth Layer of Space-Time!
A complete fusion!
The sight left Yang Feng and the other two dumbfounded!
Fusing with the Ninth Layer of Space-Time!
The trio’s minds went blank!
Then, Ye Xuan sneered disdainfully, “A lowly civilization that hasn’t even grasped the Ninth Layer of Space-Time dares to covet my Destiny and bloodline? Laughable!”
Yang Feng and the others’ faces grew even grimmer!
At that moment, Lin Yao suddenly spoke, “Young Master Ye, I didn’t come here to make an enemy of you, but to get to know you!”
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Yao, “Get to know me?”
Lin Yao smiled faintly, “Exactly!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Miss Lin Yao, I, Ye Xuan, love making friends, shall we chat somewhere else?”
Lin Yao blinked, then smiled, “Sure!”
With that, the two vanished from the spot.
In the field, Xiao Yun and Yang Feng’s faces turned ashen.
After a moment, Xiao Yun murmured, “This Miss Lin Yao really knows how to bend and stretch!”
Yang Feng’s face was dark, silent.
He’d never suffered such humiliation!
He’d wanted to act earlier! But reason had overcome impulse! This guy could twist the Ninth Layer of Space-Time, and even fuse with it!
Xiao Yun suddenly said, “It seems we underestimated this Young Master Ye!”
With that, he turned and left.
Yang Feng lingered in silence for a moment before following suit.
…
Elsewhere, Ye Xuan and Lin Yao strolled slowly through the clouds.
Lin Yao smiled, “Honestly, we underestimated you, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan returned a slight smile, “Miss Lin Yao, could you tell me about the forces of Dao Mountain?”
Lin Yao looked surprised, “You don’t know about Dao Mountain, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Do you think I should?”
Lin Yao blinked, “Young Master Ye, do you come from a higher civilization?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What do you think?”
Lin Yao smiled back, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Miss Lin Yao, let me take you somewhere!”
With that, he brought Lin Yao into the small tower.
Upon entering, Lin Yao froze, but soon her face changed dramatically, “This… this…”
Ye Xuan quickly pulled her out of the tower.
Lin Yao’s hands clenched tight, her eyes brimming with shock!
Ye Xuan stepped in front of her, smiling faintly, “Miss Lin Yao, until we meet again!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the distance.
Lin Yao stood in silence for a long, long time before turning to leave.
…
Ye Xuan returned to the small tower and began cultivating like mad.
He’d managed to bluff Lin Yao and the others away for now, but he knew they’d return soon!
His urgent priority was to boost his strength as quickly as possible!
Xue Tong, however, had stopped cultivating, having reached the Destiny Realm, further progress in the short term was impossible!
One day, Xue Tong approached Ye Xuan, who was deep in cultivation, he opened his eyes and looked at her, “Something up?”
Xue Tong licked a candied hawthorn stick, then said, “Let’s talk about what might happen next, there are two possibilities, first, Dao Mountain can’t resist the temptation and will stop at nothing to kill you and seize your bloodline and Destiny, second, they’ll fear you and start investigating you…”
She paused, looking at Ye Xuan, “Can they trace the people behind us?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Us?”
Xue Tong licked her candied hawthorn again, “Your backer is my backer, of course, my backer is yours too!”
Ye Xuan stared at Xue Tong, “You have a backer?”
Xue Tong nodded, “My backer is your backer!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Xue Tong continued, “That Lin Yao was just spooked by you, her faction might become your ally, but in my opinion, the odds aren’t great!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Xue Tong explained, “Helping you means making enemies of other factions, plus, they might want your sword, Destiny, and bloodline too!”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “All living beings are greedy, no exceptions!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “So what do you think I should do now?”
Xue Tong pondered for a moment, then said, “Do you think Dao Mountain will give you much time?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Xue Tong asked, “If I gave you ten days, could you reach the Destiny Realm?”
Ten days equaled a hundred years!
Ye Xuan shook his head again, even if he could, he wouldn’t dare rush it, advancing too fast could be disastrous! His current goal was the Infinite Realm.
Xue Tong pressed on, “Since you can’t, we need a way to deal with Dao Mountain.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “How?”
Xue Tong smiled faintly, “One word, bluff!”
Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly, “Great minds think alike!”
…
An hour later, Ye Xuan and Xue Tong headed to the Divine King Valley, upon arriving, Mu Gu appeared before them.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Valley Master Mu Gu, I’m off to Dao Mountain!”
Mu Gu blinked, then smiled, “Safe travels, Sect Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan stepped closer to Mu Gu, smiling faintly, “Valley Master Mu Gu, after I leave, you won’t have any ideas about the Divine Sect, will you?”
Mu Gu quickly shook her head, “I wouldn’t dare!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I’ve benefited from the Divine Sect and promised Sect Master Shui Sheng to protect it, so I hope Divine King Valley won’t trouble them again, alright?”
Mu Gu smiled faintly, “Young Master Ye, your journey to Dao Mountain is long, be careful!”
The implication was clear, whether they’d touch the Divine Sect depended on whether Ye Xuan survived!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly drew his sword and slashed.
A single strike to decide life or death, this sword stacked 4,800 layers!
As the strike landed, Mu Gu’s face changed instantly, she raised a glowing orb to block.
Boom!
The orb shattered instantly, countless blue lights shot out, the surrounding space-time fracturing and annihilating, Mu Gu herself was flung back tens of thousands of feet!
Before she could steady herself, a sword pressed against her forehead!
The Ninth Layer of Space-Time folded!
The speed of this strike was so fast that even Mu Gu, at the Destiny Realm, couldn’t react!
Mu Gu was stunned!
She had no power to fight back against this guy?
Truth be told, Ye Xuan was stunned too.
He hadn’t expected that folding the Ninth Layer of Space-Time would make his flying sword this fast, in that instant, the Qingxuan Sword moved so swiftly even he couldn’t keep up!
Terrifying!
At that moment, Mu Gu said gravely, “Young Master Ye, from now on, Divine King Valley will never touch the Divine Sect!”
Ye Xuan looked at Mu Gu, the next moment, the Qingxuan Sword plunged into her forehead.
Boom!
Mu Gu was absorbed outright!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a laugh, “Naive!”
Promises?
That stuff was as worthless as character half the time!
Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword flew out, and in the next moment, every Divine Spirit Realm expert in Divine King Valley was slain by him!
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan turned and left, soon arriving at the Ten Absolute Divine Hall, as he got there, Mu Qiu appeared before him, before Ye Xuan could speak, Mu Qiu hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, my Ten Absolute Divine Hall was wrong!”
Ye Xuan froze.
Mu Qiu added, “I, Mu Qiu, was blind to offend Young Master Ye, please forgive us, spare my Ten Absolute Divine Hall!”
With that, he quickly offered a storage ring to Ye Xuan, “A small token, please accept it, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan looked at Mu Qiu, “You’ve heard about Divine King Valley?”
Mu Qiu hesitated, then nodded.
Ye Xuan suddenly slashed out with his sword.
Swoosh!
Mu Qiu’s head flew off, his soul instantly absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
With a thought, Ye Xuan sent the Qingxuan Sword into the Ten Absolute Divine Hall, and soon, every Divine Spirit Realm expert there was cut down.
Never trust an enemy’s words, nor show them mercy—unless you lack the strength!
With strength, who needs to bluff?
An hour later, Ye Xuan headed to Dao Mountain.
…
On the way, Xue Tong suddenly said, “You seem pretty strong!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’ve noticed that too!”
Xue Tong abruptly asked, “Do you know how to get to Dao Mountain?”
Ye Xuan’s expression stiffened.
He really didn’t!
Xue Tong licked her candied hawthorn, “Are you an idiot?”
Ye Xuan glared at her, then took her into the Ninth Layer of Space-Time, though he didn’t know the way, the Ninth Layer’s guardian, Yao Jun, surely did!
As they entered, the space before him trembled, and Yao Jun stepped out, upon seeing Ye Xuan, he froze, then rushed over excitedly, “Young Master Ye, I’ve finally found you!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Elder Jun, why were you looking for me?”
Yao Jun quickly said, “Young Master Ye, the Hall Master requests your presence!”
Ye Xuan blinked again, “Your Space-Time Divine Hall?”
Yao Jun nodded.
Ye Xuan shook his head firmly, “Not going!”
Yao Jun was puzzled, “Why… why not…”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I don’t want to drag you into this!”
Yao Jun grew more confused, “What do you mean, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “Dao Mountain wants to kill me, if I go to the Space-Time Divine Hall, won’t I implicate you?”
Yao Jun immediately declared, “The Space-Time Divine Hall isn’t afraid of Dao Mountain!”
Ye Xuan replied, “But I am!”
Yao Jun blurted, “With the Space-Time Divine Hall here, no one can touch Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan was about to respond when a voice suddenly sounded from the side, “Is that so? My Yang family would like to see if your Space-Time Divine Hall can protect him!”
As the voice fell, a powerful aura swept into the scene.
Ye Xuan turned to Yao Jun, earnestly asking, “Elder Jun, you’ll protect me, right?”
Yao Jun, “…”
…
