**Invincible!**
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the powerhouses of the Five-Dimensional Universe in the hall exchanged glances, their hearts reeling with shock.
Half an hour later, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Guan Yin and Amu in the hall.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and two storage rings floated toward the women.
They looked at him but didn’t take them.
Ye Xuan said, “The highest realm I’ve encountered is the No-Boundary Realm—true boundlessness! These rings contain numerous legacies, including ones for the No-Boundary Realm, plus enough resources to get you there!”
He smiled faintly. “Going forward, you can gradually let go of your duties. Of course, hand them to people you trust.”
The two women stayed silent.
Ye Xuan grinned. “What’s wrong?”
Guan Yin smiled back. “We’ll cultivate diligently, but we love this place—we don’t want to leave!”
Amu nodded slightly. “My clan’s here. I’m not going anywhere.”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “I’m not asking you to leave—just don’t let the Five-Dimensional Universe hold back your cultivation!”
Guan Yin suddenly asked, “Are you leaving again?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
After a pause, she asked, “Will you come back?”
He grinned. “Definitely!”
Qingzhou and the Five-Dimensional Universe were places he’d never forget!
Guan Yin smiled. “This place will always wait for you! And the Five-Dimensional Alliance Leader role—it’s yours forever. Don’t refuse—no one else can command respect like you!”
As she said, the Five-Dimensional Universe was too diverse now. Without a supreme powerhouse holding it together, chaos would reign!
Ye Xuan was perfect—he’d saved it once!
He laughed. “I won’t refuse the title, but running this universe still falls to you!”
Guan Yin rolled her eyes. “Knew you’d say that!”
Ye Xuan chuckled.
After a moment, he grew serious. “Two things. First, you need to look farther ahead…”
He recounted the Tianzong affair from Qingzhou.
When he finished, Guan Yin and Amu’s faces turned cold.
Guan Yin said gravely, “Rest assured, that won’t happen again!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Second, what happened earlier—I noticed lingering hostility between the races, especially with the Wu Clan…”
He looked at Amu. “Amu, you need to rein them in.”
Amu nodded. “I will.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “That’s all I needed to say. Time for me to go!”
The women stood quickly. Amu hesitated, then asked, “Not staying a few days?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “The road ahead is long—I’ve got to pick up the pace!”
He’d once thought the No-Boundary Realm put him close to Qing’er’s level. But harsh reality showed him that, even there, he was still far behind her!
His journey stretched on!
Soon, Ye Xuan left.
Amu watched his fading figure, lost in thought.
Guan Yin smiled. “He’ll be back!”
Amu nodded slightly. “I know. Just don’t know how long this time.”
Guan Yin laughed. “I think he’ll visit often!”
Amu glanced at her. “Why?”
Guan Yin grinned. “I can tell—he’s got feelings for you!”
Amu shook her head. “Nonsense.”
Guan Yin laughed. “You don’t feel it?”
Amu didn’t reply.
Guan Yin continued, “He’s tied to this place—he’ll return. Just wait!”
Amu turned to the horizon beyond the hall. After a long while, a faint smile curved her lips.
—
Ye Xuan didn’t leave the Five-Dimensional Universe right away. Instead, he went to a courtyard.
A woman sat there—Ye Zhiming!
Seeing him, she smiled faintly. “What brings you here?”
Ye Xuan sat across from her, grinning. “Visiting an old friend!”
Her lips twitched upward.
He asked, “How’ve you been?”
She laughed. “Studying the Dao Scriptures daily—I’ve mastered them!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Interested in something new?”
She smiled. “Show me!”
He opened his palm, and a wisp of white light sank into her brow. Moments later, her smile faded, replaced by a grave look.
After a while, she looked at him. “Impressive!”
He placed a storage ring before her. “This has enough for you to cultivate for ages. Work hard—I hope next time we meet, you’ve hit the No-Boundary Realm!”
With that, he stood to leave.
Ye Zhiming suddenly asked, “Why?”
Ye Xuan paused, then grinned. “Why what?”
She held up the ring. “Why give me this?”
He laughed. “Back then, we relied on each other for so long—you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
She fell silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Zhiming, see you again!”
He turned into a streak of sword light and vanished at the horizon.
Ye Zhiming watched that light, wordless for a long time.
—
Ye Xuan arrived in a starry expanse—where Nian Jie used to linger!
*Nian Jie!*
He glanced around, smiling faintly. Truth be told, he missed her a bit!
After one last look, he prepared to depart on his sword. Just then, a massive cloud ship appeared in the distance!
No—not a cloud ship!
A starship, but different!
On it, he saw three bold characters: **Galaxy Sect!**
*Galaxy Sect?*
Ye Xuan froze!
*Ninth!*
His mind jumped to that anti-human Ninth!
Suddenly, he appeared before the starship. The moment he did, a powerful force enveloped him, and a laser blasted his way!
He flicked his sleeve.
*Boom!*
The laser disintegrated!
A woman flew out from the ship. Seeing her, Ye Xuan’s face darkened—it was Ninth!
He hadn’t expected to run into her here!
Seeing him, Ninth blinked, then grinned. “It’s you!”
Ye Xuan approached. “Ninth, what are you doing here?”
She laughed. “Exploring the universe with Galaxy Sect trainees!”
He frowned. “Galaxy Sect trainees?”
She pointed at the starship. He followed her gaze—male and female trainees stood there, dressed oddly, their style eerily like Er Ya’s!
A middle-aged man appeared beside Ninth, wearing an unfamiliar outfit and a strange hat with stars on his shoulder—Ye Xuan had no clue what they meant.
The man glanced at Ye Xuan. “Miss Ninth, who’s this?”
She grinned. “Your Young Sect Master!”
*Young Sect Master?*
The man blinked.
Ninth turned to Ye Xuan. “Activate your bloodline!”
He hesitated, then did.
*Boom!*
The Mad Demon Bloodline flared. The man froze, then snapped to attention and saluted. “Galaxy Sect Chief Instructor Xiao Xuan greets the Young Sect Master!”
*Chief Instructor!*
In the Galaxy Sect, his rank was just below Yang Lianshuang and a select few!
Xiao Xuan’s salute threw Ye Xuan off. He waved awkwardly. “No need for formality!”
Xiao Xuan beamed. “Never thought I’d meet the Young Sect Master here…”
He turned to the trainees. “You brats, come greet the Young Sect Master!”
*Young Sect Master!*
In the Galaxy Sect, the most revered figure was Ye Xuan’s father, the man in the green shirt!
Few besides Yang Lianshuang had seen him, but every member treated him like a god!
Without him, there’d be no Galaxy Sect!
Truth was, the green-shirted man hadn’t done much—Er Ya and Little White had helped Yang Lianshuang build it!
The two hadn’t exactly labored either—they’d just funded it!
They’d brought heaps of mysterious cultivation techniques to the galaxy, transformed its spiritual energy and environment, and made it cultivation-friendly!
They’d altered the galaxy’s fate!
And they’d done it in the green-shirted man’s name!
Yang Lianshuang knew that to expand beyond the galaxy, they needed a colossal backer!
The green-shirted man was perfect!
Through her deliberate hype, he became a divine figure in the galaxy!
Naturally, Ye Xuan became the Young Sect Master!
The trainees flocked to him, eyeing him curiously.
A female trainee murmured, “So young!”
Ye Xuan smiled at her. “Young, huh?”
She nodded eagerly, then hesitated. “Young Sect Master, are you the legendary sword cultivator?”
He nodded. “Yep!”
Her eyes sparkled. “Can you show us a ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return’?”
He blinked. “Ten Thousand Swords Return?”
She nodded. “Lots of swords—super cool!”
He laughed, heart stirring. Instantly, hundreds of thousands of qi swords materialized behind him, and the galaxy trembled!
The trainees froze.
Xiao Xuan’s eyes bulged, disbelief etched on his face…
Ye Xuan grinned at the girl. “Like this?”
She swallowed hard. “Holy crap, badass plus…”
