Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the black-robed man froze at first, then his expression grew heavy.
He didn’t dare underestimate Ye Xuan!
How could he, when he couldn’t even fight back against him?
At this point, he had no other choice but to call for help!
If he didn’t, he’d die for sure. Calling someone might give him a slim chance!
This kid couldn’t possibly be Limitless, could he?
With that thought, the black-robed man opened his palm. A black talisman rose from it, turning into a streak of dark light that vanished from the hall.
He looked at Ye Xuan. “Sir, my Ghost Cultivator Sect has three Half-Step Limitless experts!”
Half-Step Limitless!
Ye Xuan smiled. “No worries!”
The man’s face darkened at that.
Moments later, an old man appeared in the hall.
He wore a flashy red robe—quite the sight.
The red-robed elder sized up Ye Xuan, then rasped, “Who might you be, sir?”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a wisp of sword light shot out.
Whoosh!
Before the elder could react, the sword light pierced his forehead!
Body and soul obliterated!
Seeing this, the black-robed man behind him was utterly dumbfounded!
This red-robed elder was Half-Step Limitless!
And he’d been taken out just like that?
Could this guy really be Limitless?
The thought made the black-robed man tremble.
Ye Xuan suddenly grinned. “Go on, call more!”
The man stammered, “Sir… please, spare me!”
In that moment, he snapped out of it!
This guy was beyond what the Ghost Cultivator Sect could handle!
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Boring!”
With that, he waved his sleeve.
Boom!
The black-robed man was erased.
Ye Xuan turned to leave. Not long after stepping out of the hall, a sword light landed in front of him—it was An Lianyun!
She glanced inside the hall, then at Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan smiled. “He’s dead!”
An Lianyun asked, “You killed him?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
She paused, gave a slight nod, then turned and vanished into the horizon without another word.
Ye Xuan glanced at the sky, shaking his head with a chuckle. That lass has some personality!
Just then, a woman appeared before him. Seeing her, Ye Xuan froze.
A familiar face!
A Dao Ling!
She looked at him, grinning. “What, don’t recognise your big sister anymore?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
A Dao Ling laughed. “Come on, I’ll take you somewhere!”
With that, she whisked Ye Xuan away.
Soon, they arrived deep in a mountain range. There, atop a peak, sprawled a massive palace. White lights streaked across the sky above it.
A Dao Ling led Ye Xuan to a grand hall and smiled. “This is my faction, Dao Spirit Palace. From now on, you’re one of us!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
She opened her palm, and a storage ring appeared before him. “Inside, there’s a special crystal called the Infinite Divine Crystal. It heals, aids cultivation—exclusive to Limitless experts. I don’t have many, so here’s ten thousand for you. Use them sparingly!”
Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate and pocketed the ring.
Since reaching Limitless, he’d found his old divine vein crystals next to useless.
A Dao Ling handed him an ancient tome. “This details the major factions and Limitless experts. Have a look.”
She pointed to a small hall nearby. “That’s your place. Rest up for a few days—there’s something I’ll need your help with soon!”
With that, she vanished!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. This sister he’d claimed wasn’t shy about putting him to work!
Without overthinking it, he picked up the tome and headed to his hall.
Inside, he opened it. The pages turned into a white light that sank into his forehead, flooding his mind with information.
The Other World!
A mysterious realm—more precisely, a relic!
A very, very ancient relic!
The first to discover it was Mu Shen—the Shepherd God!
Known as the first to reach Limitless here, he was dubbed the Other World’s strongest!
Ranked number one!
The Other World had three major powers: Dao Spirit Palace, Fangcun Pavilion, and the enigmatic Wandao Sect.
Each had Limitless experts backing them!
Before he and Yan Ban Shan arrived, there were only nine Limitless experts here. But recently, one had fallen, leaving eight!
Now, with them, it was ten!
There were conflicts, sure, but Limitless experts rarely clashed directly. So while the three factions had their share of friction, full-scale wars were rare.
Moments later, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and murmured, “Mu Shen…”
This Shepherd God was a mystery. No one knew where he came from—only that he’d discovered the Other World and the Infinite Divine Crystals. Yet he hadn’t claimed it for himself, so others flocked in over time.
Now, no one knew where he’d gone!
Ye Xuan set his thoughts aside. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. Since hitting Limitless, he’d sensed something different about it!
As A Dao Ling had hinted, it had other functions!
With a thought, he entered the Little Tower.
Inside, he studied the Qingxuan Sword. Moments later, it turned into a sword light and merged with his forehead.
Boom!
As it fused, his aura surged wildly. Above his head, a phantom Qingxuan Sword appeared!
Sword and man as one!
Ye Xuan smirked. He could now merge with the sword, boosting his strength by several times.
He couldn’t do this before—too weak to handle its power. Now, he could!
He realised this sword was a treasure trove, waiting for him to unlock its secrets!
After a few days of study with no new breakthroughs, he stopped. He approached Xu Wang, who, like Yan Ban Shan before, was breathless and in deep meditation!
Ye Xuan smirked.
Xu Wang reaching Limitless was just a matter of time!
Three days later, A Dao Ling came to his room. Ye Xuan left the tower. She sized him up, grinning. “How’s it feel to be Limitless?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Invincible!”
A Dao Ling chuckled. “You little rascal!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Sister Ling, what’s this Mu Shen like?”
She smiled. “Curious about him?”
He nodded.
She shook her head. “I’ve never met him!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “You haven’t?”
She nodded. “Nope. To us Limitless folks, he’s a legend!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
A Dao Ling looked at him, smiling. “Know what we Limitless types do every day?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No clue!”
She grinned. “We’re all thinking about how to go further!”
Ye Xuan asked, “What’s beyond Limitless?”
She shook her head. “No idea! We reckon Mu Shen’s the most likely to have broken through, but no one knows where he is now.”
She shifted gears. “What about your sister?”
Ye Xuan paused, then grinned. “Which one?”
A Dao Ling glared at him. “Playing dumb with me?”
Ye Xuan sighed. “To be honest, I’ve got a lot of sisters!”
She stared at him. “The one who’s the best fighter!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
A Dao Ling said, “When she helped you take down that Chi Di clone, she traced it back and killed his real body!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “The Chi Di who fell recently?”
She nodded. “That’s him! His clone went to the Dao Realm after you, but it never came back—and his main body got sliced by a sword!”
Qing’er!
Ye Xuan paused, then thought to himself, “Qing’er… bloody brilliant…”
Killing a clone and shattering the main body!
That was a Limitless expert!
You could play it like that?
A Dao Ling smiled. “Seems you don’t know much about her strength either!”
Ye Xuan nodded honestly.
Qing’er’s power was a complete unknown.
Simple rule: don’t ask how strong she is—just assume invincible!
A Dao Ling said gravely, “So you don’t know where she is either?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
She fell silent.
Ye Xuan looked at her. “What’re you planning?”
She grinned. “I want to meet her. If she’d give me a pointer or two, or just a nudge in the right direction, I could save years of effort!”
Ye Xuan sighed. “I really don’t know where she is!”
She nodded. “I believe you! Two things I need your help with. First, I’m taking Ban Shan somewhere. While we’re gone, you’re in charge here. We’ll be recruiting soon—you’ll handle it. I’ll be back in about half a month to get you.”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “Where are you going?”
She smiled. “A mysterious place!”
He hesitated, then said, “I’m handling recruitment?”
She blinked. “Problem?”
He thought it over, then said, “No problem!”
She nodded. “Oh, and I’ve wiped out the Ghost Cultivator Sect!”
She glanced at him. “Try not to get hands-on from now on, got it?”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Why not?”
She rolled her eyes. “Mate, you’re Limitless now—one of the world’s top dogs. If you step in, it’s like bullying kids. Doesn’t suit your status, understand?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
