Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Xiao Ming’s face darkened considerably.
Rob?
Thankfully, he hadn’t admitted that the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect possessed Star God Veins. Otherwise, this Young Master Ye might have gone straight to the sect.
Arrogant?
He didn’t find Ye Xuan arrogant at all!
Ye Xuan had already killed two Saint Heart Realm experts from the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect!
And they were dispatched in seconds!
Moreover, from start to finish, Ye Xuan had shown no trace of fear toward the sect.
What did that mean?
It meant Ye Xuan wasn’t the least bit afraid of the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect!
He had backing!
Without backing, how could he be so brazen?
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Elder Xiao, does your Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect really not have Star God Veins? Don’t worry, I, Ye Xuan, am not some bandit. I’m just asking!”
Elder Xiao shook his head repeatedly. “None! Truly none! How could our sect possess such divine items?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “I really won’t take them!”
Elder Xiao, equally earnest, replied, “Young Master Ye, we truly don’t have them!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Why was this man acting like he was a bandit?
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan asked, “Elder Xiao, what realm is your sect leader in? Immortal Body? Or Immortal Soul?”
Elder Xiao glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Immortal Body!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Just Immortal Body?”
*Just*?
Elder Xiao’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Your sect leader is only in the Immortal Body Realm, yet your sect dares to be so arrogant? Aren’t you afraid of inviting disaster?”
Elder Xiao hesitated for a long moment before saying, “Young Master Ye, is the Immortal Body Realm… weak?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Is it not weak?”
Elder Xiao looked at Ye Xuan. “May I ask what realm Young Master Ye is in…?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “I’m no longer within realms!”
Elder Xiao frowned. “No longer within realms?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I’m outside the circle, while you’re inside it. Understand?”
Elder Xiao: “…”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Elder Xiao, how about this—you take me to your Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect. What do you say?”
Elder Xiao looked at Ye Xuan warily. “Young Master Ye, what are you planning to do?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’ll personally have a chat with your sect leader!”
Elder Xiao hesitated, then asked, “Chat about what?”
Ye Xuan stepped up to Elder Xiao, smiling. “Elder Xiao, you can’t represent the entire Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect. I’m going to your sect to talk with your leader. If the talk goes well, we’ll coexist peacefully. If not, I’ll wipe out your sect!”
Elder Xiao: “…”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Let’s go!”
After a long silence, Xiao Ming turned and led Ye Xuan, disappearing toward the horizon.
Along the way, Xiao Ming remained silent.
As Ye Xuan had said, he couldn’t represent the entire sect. For both sides to coexist peacefully, Ye Xuan needed to speak with the sect leader.
Soon, Ye Xuan followed Elder Xiao into a world!
The Chaotic World!
Upon entering, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed. He had been here before, shortly after reaching the Saint Heart Realm!
The Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect was in the Chaotic World!
Clearly, the sect had monopolised this world’s resources!
Before long, Xiao Ming and Ye Xuan stopped. Ahead, hundreds of suspended grand halls loomed, each majestic and opulent.
Not far from them stood an inverted giant sword, hundreds of metres long, towering between heaven and earth, exuding dominance!
The Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect!
Xiao Ming turned to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, please!”
Please!
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and followed Xiao Ming forward.
Along the way, Ye Xuan noticed sword cultivators occasionally flying by on their swords. Astonishingly, the weakest among them were in the Saint Heart Realm!
The weakest were Saint Heart Realm!
And there were quite a few!
In that moment, he suddenly understood why the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect was so arrogant.
They had the strength to back it up!
A thought struck Ye Xuan: with so many powerful sword cultivators, if they all attacked him together, would he even need Star God Veins?
The idea thrilled him. It was worth a try!
At that moment, Xiao Ming stopped. Not far ahead, a middle-aged man appeared, dressed in a dark robe with a sword strapped to his back.
Xiao Ming bowed slightly. “Sect Leader!”
This was none other than the leader of the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect, Xuan Cang!
At that moment, dozens of sword cultivators appeared around them.
All were in the Saint Heart Realm!
Xuan Cang looked at Ye Xuan without speaking.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Come at me together!”
Together!
The words caused an uproar in the crowd!
Damn it!
Together?
The sword cultivators were instantly enraged.
At that moment, one Saint Heart Realm sword cultivator charged forward, slashing at Ye Xuan with his sword!
As fellow sword cultivators, how could they tolerate such contempt?
Ye Xuan didn’t dodge, letting the sword strike his head.
**Boom!**
The moment the sword touched Ye Xuan’s head, it was instantly absorbed completely!
Seeing this, the surrounding sword cultivators froze.
Xuan Cang’s brow furrowed slightly.
Ye Xuan looked at the stunned sword cultivator before him. “That’s it?”
*That’s it!*
The sword cultivator, enraged, roared, “Insolent!”
As his voice fell, he opened his palm, and a beam of sword light shot down from the sky, blindingly fast. In an instant, it reached Ye Xuan’s head, burning through space and time with terrifying force.
Ye Xuan still didn’t dodge, letting the sword energy strike him.
**Boom!**
Under the gazes of the sword cultivators, the sword light sank into Ye Xuan’s body and was entirely absorbed!
All the sword cultivators stood petrified!
The cultivator before Ye Xuan stared in horror. “You…”
Ye Xuan glanced at him. “That’s it?”
The cultivator: “…”
Ye Xuan suddenly swept his gaze over the gathered sword cultivators, his expression calm. “I don’t mean to target anyone, but is this all the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect has? This?”
The sword cultivators’ faces darkened.
Ye Xuan added, “No need to stand there gawking! Come at me together!”
How could the sword cultivators tolerate this? They were about to act when Xuan Cang suddenly said, “Stop!”
Hearing Xuan Cang, the cultivators hesitated and refrained from attacking.
Xuan Cang looked at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, your physique is quite extraordinary!”
Ye Xuan stepped up to Xuan Cang. “Two paths: first, you kill me; second, I slaughter your sect! Choose! If you pick the first, you can summon your ancestor now! I don’t mean to target anyone here, but frankly, in my eyes, you’re all trash!”
Trash!
“Insolent!”
In the distance, a Saint Heart Realm sword cultivator could no longer bear it and moved to attack. But in the next moment, his pupils shrank as a sword pierced his throat without warning.
**Splat!**
A stream of blood shot out!
**Slash the Future!**
Now, his **Slash the Future** was even more refined. With one strike, he could kill within any moment in the next three days!
The cultivator’s sudden death stunned the crowd.
What kind of move was that?
An instant kill?
In that moment, all the sword cultivators’ expressions grew grave, tinged with fear!
Before Ye Xuan, the sword on Xuan Cang’s back trembled slightly.
Xuan Cang was equally shocked, unable to discern Ye Xuan’s realm.
Ye Xuan stared at Xuan Cang. “Three breaths. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer within three breaths, I’ll slaughter your sect!”
Slaughter the sect!
Xuan Cang’s eyes narrowed. “If that’s the case, allow me to test your skills, Young Master Ye!”
As he spoke, the sword on his back flew out, slashing toward Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan didn’t dodge. Seeing this, Xuan Cang’s pupils shrank, and he moved to retreat. But at that moment, his eyes widened in horror as a sword suddenly pierced the back of his head.
**Splat!**
The sword pinned Xuan Cang in place!
**Slash the Future!**
Xuan Cang staggered back, sword light flashing, retreating ten thousand metres away!
Stopping, he glared at Ye Xuan. “I have an Immortal Body. Your sword can’t harm me…”
Before he could finish, his body shattered, and his soul rapidly dissipated!
Xuan Cang stared at Ye Xuan in terror. “You… what kind of sword is that…?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Just an ordinary sword. But because I’m powerful, it’s powerful too!”
Little Soul: “…”
Xuan Cang suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, we can talk…”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “After fighting like this, what’s there to talk about?”
With that, he opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword absorbed Xuan Cang’s soul before returning to his hand.
The scene fell silent!
The leader of the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect was gone, just like that?
Nearby, Elder Xiao was sweating profusely. So, Young Master Ye wasn’t boasting—he was truly formidable!
Thankfully, he had been humble earlier, or he’d likely be gone by now.
Ye Xuan glanced at the gathered sword cultivators and said, “You have two choices: first, draw your swords to avenge your leader; second, submit to me!”
The crowd remained silent.
Ye Xuan laughed. “What, you think I want your submission? Frankly, your allegiance would be a burden to me.”
At that moment, Elder Xiao suddenly bowed respectfully. “I’m willing to follow Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, opened his palm, and a beam of white light shot into Elder Xiao’s brow.
Moments later, Elder Xiao seemed to receive something. He knelt, trembling, and said, “Thank you, Young Master Ye!”
What had he received?
The surrounding sword cultivators were bewildered.
Ye Xuan said calmly, “This is the first chapter of the *Immortal Codex*. With enough resources, you can reach the Immortal Body Realm. Even without resources, it will significantly boost your strength.”
*The Immortal Codex*?
The sword cultivators grew excited. Some hurriedly bowed. “We’re willing to follow Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan turned to Elder Xiao. “Can the Mysterious Sword Immortal Sect summon an ancestor?”
Elder Xiao hesitated, then said, “Yes! Our founder left behind a wisp of his soul!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Summon the ancestor!”
Elder Xiao was stunned. “Why… why would you do that?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I want to fight him and see if he can withstand one of my strikes!”
Elder Xiao hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, I’ve heard our founder’s strength… is formidable!”
Ye Xuan gave a confident smile. “If it takes two strikes, I, Ye Xuan, will do a handstand and disgrace myself!”
The crowd: “…”
Elder Xiao thought for a moment, then turned and left. Soon, a beam of sword light shot into the sky from within the sect. From that light, a sword cultivator appeared!
A sword cultivator in a green robe!
Seeing him, Ye Xuan’s expression froze instantly.
Seeing this cultivator, the sect’s powerhouses were also stunned. Why did he look so similar to Young Master Ye?
