Ye Xuan looked at Qing’er, hesitated, then said, “Qing’er…”
Qing’er said softly, “Your knowledge base is still quite weak, and there are many things you don’t yet understand. That’s perfectly normal.”
She paused, thought for a moment, then opened her palm. A classic tome appeared in her hand.
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “What’s this?”
Qing’er replied, “I compiled it specifically for you. It contains some foundational knowledge. All your current questions about martial arts and swordsmanship can be answered within it.”
As she spoke, the tome floated towards Ye Xuan, appearing before him in an instant.
Ye Xuan quickly caught the book. He opened it, and the first page read: *Chapter on Condensing the Spirit*.
Condensing the spirit?
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. At that moment, a beam of white light shot into his brow.
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan’s body trembled as a flood of information poured into his mind!
Condensing the spirit!
In this information, Qing’er had detailed how to cultivate, and she had also provided thorough annotations on spacetime concepts, as if worried he wouldn’t understand!
Qing’er suddenly said, “Cultivate slowly. If you feel tired, then don’t cultivate!”
Ye Xuan froze, looking at Qing’er. “Don’t cultivate?”
Qing’er nodded. “I’ll protect you for life!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Qing’er turned her head, looking towards the distant horizon. Suddenly, dozens of flying objects appeared in the sky!
A voice boomed from the horizon, “Martial cultivator, you are surrounded. Raise your hands immediately! Now!”
*Now!*
As the voice spoke, dozens of red beams locked onto the plain-skirted woman!
Qing’er glanced over. “We’ll chat next time!”
With that, the vision abruptly vanished.
Beside Ye Xuan, the small pagoda trembled and said, “It’s over! Done for! The Milky Way Galaxy is done for!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Nan Si started to leave.
Ye Xuan looked at Nan Si and smiled. “Where are you off to?”
Nan Si’s expression froze. He hesitated, then said, “Young… Young Master Ye, what are your orders?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Clan Leader Nan Si, don’t you think you should offer something?”
Nan Si glanced at Ye Xuan, hesitated, then said, “What compensation does Young Master Ye want?”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, revealing two storage rings—the ones belonging to Clan Leader Gu Ming and the others. He looked at Nan Si without saying a word.
How could Nan Si not understand? He quickly handed over his own storage ring. “Young Master Ye, a small token. Please accept it!”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “I’m not that kind of person!”
Nan Si’s expression froze. Ye Xuan, somewhat displeased, said, “Do you think I’m the type to bully others with my power? I’m telling you, I’m not!”
Nan Si’s expression was one of extreme discomfort. *Bloody hell, aren’t you exactly that type?*
Of course, he didn’t dare voice his true thoughts. He forced a smile. “Young Master Ye, we caused you a lot of trouble before. This is a small gesture to make amends. Please accept it!”
Ye Xuan pocketed the ring and said, “Clan Leader Nan Si, since this is your heartfelt gesture, I’ll accept it!”
Nan Si nodded quickly. “Thank you, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Clan Leader Nan Si, I have one more presumptuous request. You… don’t mind, do you?”
Nan Si hesitated. “Please, Young Master Ye, speak!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Not now, but in the future, if I need some help… You know, I’m all alone here, without any support. So…”
Nan Si immediately said, “If Young Master Ye needs anything in the future, just say the word. The Nether Clan will go through fire and water for you, no matter the cost!”
Ye Xuan was stunned. Why was this guy suddenly so enthusiastic?
Initially, Nan Si had been reluctant, but then he thought it over. If the Nether Clan could latch onto Ye Xuan’s coattails, wouldn’t that be a golden opportunity?
This could be a massive chance for the Nether Clan!
Because that plain-skirted woman was just too terrifying!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Then thank you, Clan Leader Nan Si!”
Nan Si quickly said, “No, no, serving Young Master Ye is an honour for the Nether Clan! A tremendous honour!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Nan Si hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, may I ask a question?”
Ye Xuan looked at Nan Si and smiled. “Go ahead and ask!”
Nan Si was silent for a moment, then said, “Who was that senior just now?”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “She’s my sister!”
*Sister!*
Nan Si said gravely, “Truly your sister, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “You don’t seem to believe me!”
Nan Si gave an awkward smile, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Are you wondering why my sister is so strong, while her brother’s strength… isn’t quite as impressive?”
Nan Si just smiled awkwardly, still silent.
Ye Xuan sighed softly. “To be honest, I’m actually very strong too! It’s just that I ran into some issues during my cultivation…”
Nan Si frowned slightly. “Young Master Ye is recultivating?”
Ye Xuan nodded quickly. “Yes! I’m recultivating! Plus, I’ve lost some memories. Once I fully recover them, there won’t be anyone in the myriad realms I can’t handle with one sword!”
Nan Si glanced at Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
True or false, he knew to keep his thoughts to himself!
Ye Xuan was about to speak when two powerful auras suddenly appeared. It was Xu Mikong, the Xumi Clan leader, and Tian Chan, the Heaven Clan leader!
The two glanced around, their brows furrowing.
Xu Mikong said gravely, “What happened?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Nothing much. Just that the Ancient Clan leader and the Divine Clan leader Ku Qian are gone.”
*Gone?*
Both men were stunned.
Xu Mikong turned to Nan Si. “Your doing?”
Nan Si glanced at Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
Xu Mikong looked at Ye Xuan. “You did it?”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “Who do you think did it?”
Xu Mikong stared at Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan, stop playing tricks. You…”
Nan Si suddenly sneered. “Xu Mikong, are you truly brainless?”
Xu Mikong turned to Nan Si, his eyes narrowing. “What do you mean?”
Nan Si sighed softly. “Xu Mikong, two Realm-Breaking powerhouses have already died. Do you want to be the third?”
He had initially wanted to provoke Xu Mikong into angering Ye Xuan, but he was afraid—afraid that the plain-skirted woman might reappear. That woman clearly had a short temper!
If she returned and killed Xu Mikong and Tian Chan, and took him out too, how unjust would that be?
He genuinely didn’t want to see that plain-skirted woman again!
She was too terrifying!
Hearing Nan Si’s words, Xu Mikong’s brows furrowed. He looked at Ye Xuan again, who smiled and said, “I’m off!”
With that, he pocketed the small pagoda and turned to leave.
But Xu Mikong suddenly called out, “Wait!”
Ye Xuan turned to Xu Mikong. “Something up?”
Xu Mikong hesitated, then said, “The small pagoda…”
Nan Si suddenly roared, “Xu Mikong, are you an idiot? Are you? You bloody fool!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Xu Mikong was also furious. “Nan Si, stop playing tricks on me. I’m not falling for it, you…”
At that moment, Tian Chan suddenly stepped to Nan Si’s side.
Xu Mikong might not see it, but Tian Chan did!
Who was Nan Si?
The Nether Clan leader, whose strength in the Six Realms was second only to the former Divine Clan leader Ku Qian. And Nan Si’s attitude towards Ye Xuan was highly unusual!
Respectful!
Why would Nan Si respect Ye Xuan?
Clearly, the deaths of Ku Qian and Gu Ming were tied to Ye Xuan!
If Ye Xuan could make those two die, he could make them die too!
Offending Ye Xuan at this moment was utterly unwise!
Seeing Tian Chan stand behind Nan Si, Xu Mikong frowned. “Tian Chan, what’s your deal?”
Tian Chan remained silent.
He was inwardly exasperated!
*Bloody hell! Why is Xu Mikong acting like such an idiot?*
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, revealing the small pagoda, and smiled. “Clan Leader Xu Mikong, you want this pagoda?”
Xu Mikong looked at Ye Xuan and said gravely, “Ye Xuan, don’t forget—you already sold this pagoda to me!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Seems like I did!”
Xu Mikong said gravely, “This pagoda belongs to my Xumi Clan!”
The small pagoda suddenly said, “What makes you think I’m yours?”
Xu Mikong glanced at the pagoda. “He already sold you to me!”
The pagoda snapped, “He said he sold me, so I’m yours?”
Xu Mikong frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
The pagoda said calmly, “What’s it mean? I say I sold the Six Realms to you. So, are the Six Realms yours now?”
Xu Mikong’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Ye Xuan. “What, you’re not keeping your word?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the pagoda cut in. “This has nothing to do with the little master. He doesn’t have ownership of me. My ownership lies with my master! He had no right to sell me to you!”
Xu Mikong roared, “Don’t you call him little master?”
The pagoda snapped back, “You know he’s the *little* master! There’s still a big master above him, and the big master hasn’t kicked the bucket yet, so he can’t inherit me!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. *Bloody hell, what nonsense is this pagoda spouting…*
Xu Mikong’s right hand slowly clenched. “I see it now! You and this pagoda are playing me!”
The pagoda said exasperatedly, “Old man, you’re the one being a bit daft. Why did you believe him?”
Xu Mikong roared, “You broken pagoda, shut up!”
The pagoda: “…”
Xu Mikong looked at Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan, you sold it to me. I’ll ask you one thing—do you own up to it?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I own up!”
He looked at the pagoda. “It’s yours!”
Xu Mikong turned to the pagoda. “You hear that, you broken pagoda? Your master owns up!”
The pagoda suddenly looked at Ye Xuan. “Little master, how many star veins did you sell me for?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Five!”
The pagoda flew into a rage. “Little master, you prodigal son! I’m at least a family heirloom your father left you, and you sold me for just five star veins? Five? Couldn’t you have sold me for more?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
