Seeing Ye Xuan retreat, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden’s gaze remained calm, as if she wasn’t the least bit surprised!
After stepping back to the side, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, deep in thought.
The tenth layer of spacetime!
He’d just felt the tenth layer, and the spacetime pressure within it was beyond what he could currently withstand!
At that moment, Ye Xuan grew curious!
What kind of ruin was this?
Could there be an eleventh layer beyond it?
Just then, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden walked up beside him, glancing at him, “Infinite Realm!”
Ye Xuan ignored her!
She continued, “For someone in the Infinite Realm to make it this far, that’s impressive!”
Ye Xuan still didn’t respond.
Seeing this, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden frowned slightly.
Then, Ye Xuan suddenly stood and walked back to the narrow path, staring at it for a moment before stepping forward!
As his foot landed, the spacetime around the path twisted and became illusory!
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden’s pupils shrank, “This…”
Ye Xuan stepped back again, his eyes now brimming with excitement!
He’d managed to step into the tenth layer because he’d tapped into the mysterious spacetime within the little tower, he could now partially merge with it, and that mysterious spacetime absolutely suppressed the tenth layer!
Sadly, he couldn’t sustain the fusion for long!
But he wasn’t in a rush, he could take it slow!
Just then, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden asked, “How did you do that?”
Ye Xuan ignored her and sat back down to recover his energy, every use of that mysterious spacetime drained him massively!
Seeing him not respond, she frowned, “I’m asking you a question!”
Ye Xuan turned to her, “Are we close?”
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden: “…”
Ye Xuan looked away, continuing to absorb soul crystals.
He loved making friends, but not with arrogant people, you’re proud? I’m prouder!
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden glanced at him and didn’t press further.
She had her own temper too!
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan stood again and walked back to the path.
Nearby, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden watched him, her eyes full of curiosity.
Ye Xuan stepped into the path, the moment he did, the tenth layer spacetime in that area turned illusory!
It wasn’t that it couldn’t withstand him, but that it couldn’t withstand the mysterious spacetime!
After three steps, he retreated again!
Seeing this, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden frowned, “Why’d you come back? Keep going!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “What’s it to you?”
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden: “…”
Ye Xuan sat back down, absorbing soul crystals to recover!
She walked over, looking at him, “You used some secret technique to enter the tenth layer, it drains you a lot, and you can’t use it for long, right?”
Ye Xuan didn’t answer, continuing to absorb soul crystals.
She glanced at him and said no more.
Soon, Ye Xuan stood again and headed back to the path… over and over, he kept entering the tenth layer, at first managing only three steps, but now he could take ten, and after merging with the mysterious spacetime, he could hold it for twelve breaths!
He was using the tenth layer to train himself!
The mysterious spacetime Qing’er created far surpassed these so-called ten layers, if he could fully master it, even without the Qingxuan Sword, he could ignore any spacetime weaker than it!
Dimensional suppression!
During this time, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden didn’t leave, staying nearby to watch.
She was utterly shocked, because if he kept this up, Ye Xuan could cross the path and enter the ruin!
Five days later, after merging with the mysterious spacetime, Ye Xuan could now sustain it for a quarter of an hour, he reached the other side of the mountain, but what he saw made his brow furrow.
Corpses!
The ground was littered with bodies, and at the end of his sight stood a small hill, atop it a dilapidated little hall faintly visible.
Ye Xuan didn’t linger, he retreated!
He’d considered flying with his sword for speed, but he didn’t dare, the drain would be too immense, he might get in but not out!
Seeing him emerge, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden hurried over, “What did you see?”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “A mirror!”
She frowned, “A mirror?”
Ye Xuan nodded, deadpan, “There was someone in the mirror!”
She pressed, “Who?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “A very, very handsome man!”
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden froze, then exploded, “Are you messing with me?”
Ye Xuan smirked, stepped aside, and sat down to absorb soul crystals.
She glared at him, annoyed.
This guy’s so petty?
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan stood again, heading back to the path, this time moving more confidently and轻松, reaching the other side once more, he glanced at the corpses, all clad in mysterious dark armor, smooth as mirrors with faint mystical light flowing across them.
Ye Xuan’s mind stirred, a flying sword slashed at one of the armors.
Sizzle!
Sparks flew, but the armor was unscathed, not even a scratch!
Good stuff!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, collecting all the armors into his storage ring, over a hundred in total!
He pressed forward a few steps, his face paling, he was nearing his limit, glancing at the distant hall, he turned back without hesitation.
With his current state, he could reach the hall, but it’d be a one-way trip!
Seeing him emerge, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden rushed over, “How was it?”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “How was what?”
She said, “You stayed longer this time, clearly you went deeper into the ruin, what did you see?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Are we buddies? Why should I tell you?”
Her expression froze.
Ye Xuan turned, sat down, and resumed absorbing soul crystals.
With his current strength, he could toss the tower twice in a row!
But now, he wanted to master the mysterious spacetime, it was so powerful, and just using it to “toss the tower” felt like a waste!
Then, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden suddenly said, “I’m Lian!”
Ye Xuan ignored her.
She frowned, “I’ve told you my name!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Do I care?”
Her gaze turned cold.
Ye Xuan laughed, “Lady, you’ve got a problem, princess syndrome! You’re used to being high and mighty, thinking everyone should cater to you, give you face…”
He shook his head, “Of course, how you act is your business, nothing to do with me, I’m just saying, I don’t want to get to know you right now!”
He went back to absorbing soul crystals.
Too many women get spoiled into arrogance, he wasn’t about to indulge her, you’re not my girl, why should I?
The Tianyuan Holy Maiden glanced at him and said no more.
Then, Ye Xuan stood and walked off…
A month later, after merging with the mysterious spacetime, Ye Xuan could sustain it for half an hour!
He reached the small hall, it wasn’t large, more corpses lay at its entrance, clad in crimson-gold armor, only nineteen sets!
Ye Xuan collected them, then pushed the door open, as one foot stepped inside, his expression changed!
Damn it!
This wasn’t the tenth layer, the spacetime pressure here was at least a hundred times stronger!
The eleventh layer?
Ye Xuan’s head ached!
How many layers did this spacetime have? Was there no end?
He hesitated, then stepped fully in, the spacetime inside warped and turned illusory!
Clearly, the mysterious spacetime was still superior, suppressing even the eleventh layer!
Ye Xuan entered, after two steps, he stopped, ahead, a little girl was watching him, she looked six or seven, wearing a white dress with a long braid.
Seeing her, Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
From past experience, this little girl was likely a supreme powerhouse!
He opened his palm, producing a candied haw stick.
No little girl could resist candied haws!
Then, she walked toward him, Ye Xuan quickly retreated outside, the hall’s spacetime pressure was too intense, he couldn’t hold out long, it’d put him at a disadvantage.
She stopped before him, just staring.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I’m Ye Xuan!”
He offered the candied haws, “Try it!”
She looked at him, then grinned, “Do you know who I am?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No idea.”
She laughed, “I’ve been trapped in there for hundreds of thousands of years! Thanks for opening the door and letting me out!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Just then, footsteps sounded nearby, “Xiong Ni!”
Ye Xuan turned, the space trembled faintly, then a woman’s projection appeared.
Xiong Ni laughed, “Shen Qin, fate’s a funny thing, you sacrificed eighteen high gods and hundreds of divine generals, using nineteen special spacetime seals to trap me, yet when this boy showed up, your nineteen spacetimes sensed him, scattered, and broke apart on their own… how amusing! Haha…”
The woman named Shen Qin looked at Ye Xuan, “What spacetime is in you?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I’m just passing by!”
Shen Qin stared at him, “Seal her, and I’ll give you women, countless women!”
“What the hell!”
Ye Xuan erupted, “Are you insulting me? Huh?”
