Breakthrough!
Ye Xuan directly reached the Soulless Realm, and not only that, his aura continued to surge wildly!
The Qingxuan Sword’s aura was also skyrocketing.
Before long, Ye Xuan leapt from the Soulless Realm to the Pathless Realm!
Upon reaching the Pathless Realm, he began to suppress himself.
Of course, there was no way he could jump straight from Pathless to Limitless!
After a long while, Ye Xuan’s aura gradually calmed. When he slowly opened his eyes, the spacetime before him instantly turned into a sea of blood!
Seeing this, King Zhongshan and Yin Sha, hidden in the shadows, exchanged a glance, both with a hint of shock in their eyes!
King Zhongshan whispered, “This guy fought one battle and rose to the Pathless Realm… With his invincible bloodline and that sword, from now on, he’s absolutely the strongest below Limitless!”
The strongest below Limitless!
Even before reaching Pathless, Ye Xuan could hold his own against top-tier powerhouses like Yun Mengzi. Now, at Pathless, aside from Limitless Realm experts, who could stand against him?
Just then, the blood-red hue in Ye Xuan’s eyes faded, and soon, the blood-red spacetime around him returned to normal.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. Looking at it, a faint smile curled his lips!
The small tower suddenly spoke, “Little master, you’re back to normal?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Yes!”
The tower hesitated, then asked, “Little master, why can you stay lucid after activating your bloodline?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Truthfully, he didn’t know!
When he fully activated his bloodline before, he hadn’t lost his mind like usual. He’d entered a strange, profound state—somewhat uncontrollable, yet his mind felt incredibly clear!
It was like being drunk!
Clearly intoxicated, yet still aware!
He didn’t know why this happened!
Was his bloodline mutating?
Shaking his head, Ye Xuan dismissed the thought. It was a good thing, anyway—he could ask his old man about it later!
At that moment, King Zhongshan and Yin Sha appeared before him. King Zhongshan sized him up, smiling, “Congratulations, young friend!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “I’ll never forget the help you two seniors have given me!”
King Zhongshan hesitated, then said, “Well…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What’s up?”
King Zhongshan chuckled awkwardly, “Young friend, it’s like this—our lifelong goal is to reach the Limitless Realm, but sadly, our talents are limited. Reaching it on our own might be impossible in this lifetime, so…”
He knew full well that talk of “never forgetting” was empty!
Especially with this slippery guy—he might forget the moment he turned around! Better secure the benefits now!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was speechless. This guy wanted A Dao Ling’s inheritance!
He didn’t refuse, flicking his fingers. Two beams of white light shot into King Zhongshan and Yin Sha’s brows.
*Boom! Boom!*
Their bodies trembled slightly. Moments later, King Zhongshan opened his eyes, bowing slightly to Ye Xuan, “Thank you, young friend!”
A Dao Ling’s inheritance!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Whether you reach Limitless depends on you!”
King Zhongshan laughed, “Understood!”
Even with the inheritance, as Ye Xuan said, reaching Limitless still hinged on their own efforts—it wasn’t a guaranteed ticket.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Seniors, I’ve got some matters to handle. I’ll visit again another day!”
King Zhongshan called out, “Young friend, wait!”
He handed Ye Xuan a storage ring.
Ye Xuan looked puzzled, “What’s this?”
King Zhongshan grinned, “Young Ye, these are some divine vein crystals we scavenged from Yun Realm and the Enforcement Sect! They should help you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the ring, accepted it without fuss, and smiled, “Seniors, farewell!”
With that, he turned into a streak of sword light and vanished at the horizon’s end.
After Ye Xuan left, Yin Sha said softly, “Yun Realm’s gone! The Enforcement Sect too!”
A faint smile tugged at his lips.
King Zhongshan laughed, “Now, the entire Daolin Kingdom is ours!”
He turned to Yin Sha, “Yin Sha, what’s your next move?”
Yin Sha thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll follow your lead!”
King Zhongshan: “…”
…
After leaving, Ye Xuan used the Qingxuan Sword to teleport back to Qingzhou.
In the imperial palace.
Tuoba Yan suddenly looked up. Seeing Ye Xuan, a smile curved her lips.
Ye Xuan walked up to her, chuckling softly, “Got held up by some stuff!”
Tuoba Yan shook her head slightly, “You’re back, that’s what matters!”
She stepped forward, wrapping her arms gently around his waist, resting her head against his chest.
No words, just a quiet embrace.
Truth be told, she’d been worried sick these past days!
Ye Xuan gently stroked her hair, murmuring, “How’ve you been holding up?”
Tuoba Yan looked up abruptly, “Not good!”
Ye Xuan blinked, caught off guard.
Tuoba Yan said gravely, “A mysterious faction appeared in Qingzhou. They’ve been frantically hunting young women. The whole state’s in a panic!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “A mysterious faction?”
Tuoba Yan nodded, “They call themselves Tianzong. Showed up half a month ago. I had people look into their origins—no luck!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly turned toward the hall’s entrance. Above the distant palace, an aura appeared, and moments later, a Taoist-robed elder descended slowly.
Tuoba Yan said grimly, “They’re here!”
Outside, countless soldiers surged forward!
Tuoba Yan raised her right hand and waved lightly, and the soldiers retreated at once.
The robed elder stepped into the hall, smiling at Tuoba Yan, “Queen Tuoba, you’re a sharp one!”
Tuoba Yan smiled, “From Tianzong?”
The elder grinned, “I’m Xiao Chi, Grand Elder of Tianzong. Queen Tuoba, I’ll cut to the chase! I’m here for one thing—our sect leader wants to take you as a concubine!”
Concubine!
Ye Xuan froze, then turned to the elder, a faint smirk forming.
Hearing this, Tuoba Yan didn’t get angry—she laughed! Glancing at Ye Xuan, she turned back to the elder, “Take me as a concubine?”
Xiao Chi nodded, “Yes!”
Tuoba Yan blinked, “Do you know whose woman I am?”
Xiao Chi frowned, “You have a man?”
Tuoba Yan nodded, pointing at Ye Xuan, “He’s my man!”
Xiao Chi glanced at Ye Xuan, chuckling, “Simple fix—he dies, and you’re free!”
With a flick of his sleeve, a blast of energy shot toward Ye Xuan, only to vanish silently before it reached him.
Xiao Chi frowned, “Kid, you’ve got some tricks!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Xiao Chi sneered, throwing a punch. A fist imprint tore through the air with a shrill whistle, but as it neared Ye Xuan, it too vanished without a sound!
Seeing this, Xiao Chi’s eyes narrowed, “How’d you do that?”
Ye Xuan shrugged, “I didn’t do anything!”
Xiao Chi’s expression chilled, “You playing dumb with me?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Xiao Chi roared, his right hand clawing through the air at Ye Xuan. The space around Ye Xuan tore apart!
Space ripped—not spacetime!
The space around Ye Xuan shredded, yet he stood unharmed!
Xiao Chi’s eyes flashed with disbelief, “You… how’d you do that?”
Ye Xuan looked innocent, “I didn’t do anything!”
Xiao Chi stared hard at Ye Xuan, “Are you at the Primordial Realm?”
Primordial Realm?
Ye Xuan blinked, “What’s that?”
Xiao Chi said gravely, “You don’t even know the Primordial Realm of the Five-Dimensional Universe?”
Five-Dimensional Universe!
Sister Nian’s universe!
Ye Xuan was speechless. Damn, too many realms—he couldn’t keep track! Who the hell came up with all this?
Awkward!
Xiao Chi suddenly demanded, “Who are you?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Ye Xuan—heard of me?”
Xiao Chi frowned, “Ye Xuan?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Xiao Chi pondered, then said, “Never heard of you!”
Ye Xuan exploded inwardly.
Damn it!
You’re from the Five-Dimensional Universe and haven’t heard of me, Ye Xuan?
Suddenly, Xiao Chi vanished, a blur flashing through the hall. A powerful force surged toward Ye Xuan’s face.
Ye Xuan raised an arm to block.
*Boom!*
A muffled thud rang out, and Xiao Chi was blasted out of the hall. As he landed, his body shattered, and his soul turned nearly transparent!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
In that split second, he hadn’t even used force—just a casual block!
He hadn’t expected this old man to be so fragile—shattering with a light touch!
Tuoba Yan glanced at Ye Xuan, her heart pounding with shock.
She knew he was strong, but not *this* strong! A casual move had nearly obliterated the elder’s body and soul…
Outside, Xiao Chi was dumbfounded!
What happened?
Where’s my body?
Moments later, he snapped back, glaring at Ye Xuan with venom, “You wait!”
He opened his palm, and a cloud arrow shot skyward, piercing the clouds.
Calling reinforcements!
Ye Xuan blinked, then laughed, “Go ahead, call whoever— I’m invincible, do your worst!”
Small tower: “…”
