Xiong Ni glanced at Ye Xuan, her heart filled with shock. This young man had actually slashed her into the spacetime abyss!
She knew Ye Xuan was only at the Wujian Realm, while she outranked him by several tiers!
The mysterious spacetime!
Xiong Ni looked at Ye Xuan again, realizing that the power just now stemmed from that mysterious spacetime!
What kind of spacetime was it?
Her curiosity intensified!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Miss Xiong Ni, I’ll come seek your guidance another day!”
With that, he turned to leave.
But then Xiong Ni called out, “Can I experience that mysterious spacetime?”
Ye Xuan turned back to her with a smile. “There’s no way!”
Xiong Ni frowned. “No way?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “No way!”
He wasn’t lying. The only way to experience that mysterious spacetime was to merge with the small tower!
And he’d never let the tower merge with this woman!
Xiong Ni licked her candied hawthorn, falling silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss Xiong Ni, could you tell me about these realms?”
Xiong Ni asked, “Which realms?”
Ye Xuan replied, “The ones above Soul Fate!”
Xiong Ni explained, “Above Soul Fate is Divine Fate. After mastering Fate Grid, Fate Body, and Soul Fate, if they fully coalesce, you reach Divine Fate!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “What’s the difference between Divine Fate and Soul Fate?”
Xiong Ni smiled. “First, you condense a Fate Grid, then a Fate Body, and finally a Soul Fate. If you can perfectly fuse all three again, you achieve Divine Fate! Once you reach Divine Fate, it’s very hard to die!”
She looked at Ye Xuan. “Like just now, when you sent me into the spacetime abyss—it couldn’t harm me anymore!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Miss Xiong Ni, are you at Divine Fate?”
Xiong Ni shook her head with a smile. “I’m beyond Divine Fate, at Void Fate!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Void Fate? Still tied to fate?”
Xiong Ni laughed. “So far, no one has escaped the grasp of fate! Every being cultivates with two ultimate goals: eternal life, and breaking free from fate’s control!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “No one can escape fate’s grasp?”
Xiong Ni nodded. “As of now, no!”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “Who established these realms?”
Xiong Ni fell silent.
Ye Xuan chuckled. “You don’t know either?”
Xiong Ni said, “The creator of Divine Fate was Zhi Xuan, an ascended immortal! Countless years ago, the highest realm was Soul Fate. Zhi Xuan built upon it, pioneering a new realm—Divine Fate. Its defining trait is resilience; ordinary forces can’t harm a Divine Fate expert. For example, even the terrifying forces in a spacetime abyss can’t touch them!”
Ye Xuan asked, “And above Divine Fate?”
Xiong Ni replied, “Primordial Spirit Realm!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Primordial Spirit Realm?”
Xiong Ni smiled. “Yes!” She opened her palm, revealing a tiny golden figure identical to herself!
Ye Xuan asked curiously, “What’s this?”
Xiong Ni explained, “This is a Primordial Spirit! Those who reach this realm can cultivate one—it’s like a second life!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “A second life?”
Xiong Ni nodded with a smile. “Not just that—it has many wondrous uses. You’ll understand when you reach Primordial Spirit Realm!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “You’re at Primordial Spirit Realm?”
Xiong Ni laughed. “Yes! This realm was created by a genius named Ku Xiu long ago. Divine Fate had stumped cultivators for nearly a million years until Ku Xiu emerged, building atop it to forge the Primordial Spirit Realm!”
She smiled again. “These realm creators are called Pioneers, and every one of them deserves our respect!”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “What’s the highest realm now?”
Xiong Ni glanced at him. “Why do you ask?”
Ye Xuan said, “Just curious!”
Xiong Ni laughed. “Above Primordial Spirit is Fate Knowledge. This realm has a terrifying feature—they can foresee their own death!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Foresee their own death?”
Xiong Ni nodded. “These powerhouses are fearsome because they can predict danger! Plus, their techniques can only be described as uncanny!”
Ye Xuan asked, “And above Fate Knowledge?”
Xiong Ni smiled. “As of now, Fate Knowledge is the limit. In a distant place, many Fate Knowledge experts are pioneering a new realm. Whoever succeeds will have their name echo through eternity!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I see!”
Xiong Ni added, “That mysterious spacetime in you—I’ve never seen it. Is the one behind you at Fate Knowledge?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Guess!”
Xiong Ni pouted. “It can’t be higher than Fate Knowledge anyway!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Fate Knowledge?
He knew Qing’er’s realm surpassed it by far!
But he had no idea how far she’d gone. No matter how much he advanced, Qing’er always felt unfathomable.
Realms?
Qing’er had long transcended them!
Behind him, Xiong Ni frowned at his back. “Could it really be Fate Knowledge?”
—
Ye Xuan returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and opened his palm. The Qingxuan Sword appeared. His current strength could contend with Primordial Spirit experts, but he wasn’t confident he could win!
Plus, Primordial Spirit cultivators had two lives!
After a long silence, Ye Xuan began probing the spacetime abyss of the mysterious spacetime!
At Divine Fate, one could ignore spacetime abysses—ordinary ones posed no threat to someone like Xiong Ni. But what about this mysterious spacetime’s abyss?
In the days that followed, Ye Xuan focused on mastering it.
His goal now was to fully comprehend this spacetime abyss!
—
One day, a middle-aged man appeared above the Women’s Academy, flanked by two elders.
Overlooking the academy, he chuckled softly. “Mysterious spacetime! Interesting!”
The elder to his left said gravely, “Sect Master, something’s off about this!”
This man was Mu Tianming, Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Mu Tianming smiled lightly. “Back then, Xiong Ni was sealed by our sect and the Shangqing Sect using over a dozen special spacetimes. Now, those spacetimes were broken by that boy’s mysterious spacetime… That’s no small feat!”
The elder said, “I hear the Shangqing Sect’s goddess already approached the boy!”
Mu Tianming replied, “She likely failed! That’s why she leaked this to us, hoping we’d take the lead!”
The elder asked gravely, “Will you take the lead, Sect Master?”
Mu Tianming smiled. “We’ll see!”
With that, he vanished, reappearing inside the Women’s Academy.
Inside, Ding Girl, reading a book, looked up at Mu Tianming with a headache. Another enemy, just days apart!
Mu Tianming studied her, then said, “Miss, I’m here only to meet the boy!”
Ding Girl smiled. “Want the mysterious spacetime in him?”
Mu Tianming laughed. “Just to meet him!”
Ding Girl thought for a moment. “He’s cultivating right now!”
Mu Tianming smiled, scanning the surroundings. “This place seems ordinary, yet Goddess Shen Qin left empty-handed…” He looked at Ding Girl. “They say you wield a mysterious sword light!”
Ding Girl laughed. “You don’t want to see it, do you?”
Mu Tianming smiled. “Miss, do you think that sword light can protect you?”
Ding Girl shook her head. “I’ve got a headache!”
Mu Tianming chuckled. “You’re smart. You should know that spacetime in his hands will only harm him!”
At that moment, Ye Xuan appeared beside Ding Girl. She smiled. “Here for you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Mu Tianming. “Aunt Ding, see how tough my life is? Enemies everywhere I go!”
Ding Girl blinked. “Don’t you think your enemies are all… kinda dim?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Mu Tianming’s smile vanished.
Ye Xuan coughed awkwardly, glancing at Mu Tianming. “Aunt Ding, he’s still here! Give him some face!”
Ding Girl shook her head. “I’m done! Play with them yourself!”
With that, she turned to leave.
Ye Xuan quickly called, “Wait, Aunt Ding! This guy’s way above my realm! You—”
Ding Girl turned back, cutting him off. “If you can’t handle a dimwit like this, how will you surpass your father? I believe in you!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Mu Tianming suddenly laughed. “I’m a dimwit?”
Ding Girl turned to him. “Aren’t you?”
Mu Tianming shook his head with a smile. “How amusing! Truly amusing. What gives an ant like you the right to scorn someone a thousand times stronger? Because of that mysterious sword light? Do you think it can shield you? A consumable—how many times can you use it?”
Ding Girl suddenly smiled. “Sorry, I can use it countless times!”
With that, she opened her palm, and a streak of sword light shot out.
Whoosh!
Before Mu Tianming could react, the light pierced his brow!
Boom!
His body turned ethereal.
Mu Tianming was stunned.
He’d been one-shotted!
Staring at Ding Girl, he stammered, “You… whose sword light is this…?”
Ding Girl smiled. “My man’s!”
