Seeing Ye Xuan silent for so long, Yang Nianxue glared at him. “Split the money!”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts, glanced at Yang Nianxue, and sighed softly. He took out a storage ring and handed it to her. Yang Nianxue checked it and immediately broke into a beaming smile.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Big sis, I came ten thousand li to save you. Don’t you have anything to show for it?”
Yang Nianxue looked at him seriously. “Little brother, if you think like that, your perspective is too narrow! Don’t chase short-term gains—look to the future, got it?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, feeling a headache coming on.
At that moment, the siblings suddenly turned their heads. In the distance, several powerful auras surged towards them.
Both siblings frowned.
Yang Nianxue quickly stepped behind Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, six figures appeared before Ye Xuan.
The leader was an old man with white hair, a gaunt face, and eyes as sharp as a blade.
Yang Nianxue, standing beside Ye Xuan, quickly whispered, “From Burial Mountain!”
Burial Mountain!
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man but said nothing.
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. “Name your backer!”
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, then said, “What do you mean?”
The old man’s face was expressionless. “Your backer determines how we deal with you!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “The Three Swords!”
The old man frowned slightly. “Never heard of them! Kill!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly vanished from the spot.
He attacked directly!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
At that moment, the old man vanished bizarrely. The next instant, the surrounding space-time twisted violently. Within this distorted space-time, countless needle-like white lights shot towards Ye Xuan like a torrential storm!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword transformed into a sword shield, blocking in front of him.
*Boom boom boom!*
Explosions rang out continuously in the space-time. The next moment, Ye Xuan was forced back repeatedly!
Before he could stop, Ye Xuan suddenly looked up. In that instant, a colossal hand, like a mountain, plummeted straight down!
This was no ordinary hand!
The hand contained immense space-time power and the force of immortality!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword shot skyward.
*Boom!*
Struck by the Qingxuan Sword, the giant hand trembled violently and began to crack.
But at that moment, a shadow suddenly rushed to Ye Xuan’s front. Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and he drew his sword in a swift slash.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light shattered. The next moment, Ye Xuan was sent flying backwards at incredible speed, retreating tens of thousands of zhang in the blink of lousy eye. As he stopped, the space-time around him turned into a massive black vortex. The terrifying vortex radiated a fearsome pulling force, frantically tearing at his body!
At the same time, the old man appeared before Ye Xuan, a ferocious glint in his eyes. “Die!”
As his voice fell, his right hand clenched tightly, and he unleashed a devastating punch.
*Boom!*
The moment the punch was thrown, a wave of golden light erupted from his fist. Within the golden light were countless tiny, mysterious runes, each representing a law, each law embodying a path!
The instant the old man threw this punch, Ye Xuan’s expression turned grim.
Damn it!
This old man was at the Eternal Immortality realm!
He’d hidden his true realm earlier!
Burial Mountain was something else, sending an Eternal Immortality cultivator straight away!
Wasn’t the usual pattern to send weaker foes first for him to warm up?
No time to think, Ye Xuan didn’t dare underestimate this punch. He didn’t defend—instead, he stepped forward and thrust his sword!
This sword strike was calm, as tranquil as water. Yet the old man, so close, suddenly paled. His pupils contracted to pinpoints, as if he’d encountered something terrifying. The next moment, the fear in his eyes turned to madness. “Then we’ll die together!”
As his voice fell, he channelled all his strength and threw a final punch.
In an instant, golden light blazed like the sun, and the entire space-time boiled.
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan was sent flying like a kite with a cut string. Not only that, his body flickered with eerie golden lights. Each flash caused him to spit out a mouthful of vital blood!
After retreating a full several hundred thousand zhang, Ye Xuan finally stopped. His face was as pale as death!
Ye Xuan looked down at his body. Erya’s battle armour was still intact, undamaged. But his physical body was in serious trouble!
Grave injury!
The armour was powerful, but his flesh wasn’t!
He had to admit, his expression was grim. If Erya’s armour hadn’t absorbed most of the force, he’d have died under that punch!
Ye Xuan looked up at the old man in the distance. At that moment, the old man’s body was gradually becoming illusory!
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. “Severing the future! You can go back to the past and sever the future!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The old man was silent for a long time, then said, “Why weren’t you erased by the laws of time?”
Ye Xuan asked, “Do you know the Master of Time?”
The old man’s pupils shrank. “You know the Master of Time?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The old man trembled. “I asked you about your backer earlier. Why didn’t you mention the Master of Time… If you had, even with ten thousand times my courage, I wouldn’t have dared attack you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him. “The Three Swords are far more powerful than the Master of Time!”
The old man’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Is the Master of Time really that powerful?”
A trace of confusion flashed in the old man’s eyes. “They’re like a god!”
A god-like existence!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Had he underestimated the Master of Time’s strength?
To be fair, it wasn’t his fault. The Master of Time had been too humble when they met!
When he’d encountered the Master of Time, they were kneeling…
Of course, he overlooked one detail: the Master of Time wasn’t kneeling to him.
At that moment, the old man vanished completely.
Erased!
Seeing the old man disappear, Ye Xuan fell silent. He realised he’d still underestimated Eternal Immortality cultivators!
With his current strength, he could kill Eternal Immortality cultivators, but they could also kill him. If he hadn’t quickly activated Erya’s armour earlier, he’d likely have been obliterated, body and soul!
Eternal Immortality realm!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. It seemed he needed to reach the Immortal Flesh realm as soon as possible!
With the star god veins he had now, reaching the Immortal Flesh realm shouldn’t be too difficult!
At that moment, Yang Nianxue walked up to Ye Xuan. She glanced at him and asked, “You okay?”
Ye Xuan gave a bitter smile. “What do you think?”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then opened her palm. A white pill appeared in her hand. Before Ye Xuan could react, she popped it into his mouth. The moment the pill entered his body, his physical body recovered instantly!
Instantly!
Ye Xuan was stunned!
He had a body that defied the natural order, with a fearsome, immortal bloodline, so his self-healing was incredibly fast. Even so, it took time. Yet this pill had restored his shattered body in an instant!
Ye Xuan looked at Yang Nianxue, utterly shocked. “Sis, what was that pill?”
Yang Nianxue said casually, “Something Dad left me! What, he didn’t give you any?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze, his heart feeling as if it had been stabbed!
Any?
Not a damn thing!
A surge of nameless anger rose in Ye Xuan’s chest. Forget pills—his dad hadn’t even left him a single hair. And he’d taken back his three strands of sword qi!
What a monster!
At that moment, Yang Nianxue suddenly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, staying silent.
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then asked, “Are you mad at Dad?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No!”
Yang Nianxue pursed her lips. “Sure doesn’t look like it!”
She took out a white jade bottle and handed it to Ye Xuan. “This is for you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the bottle. “What is it?”
Yang Nianxue said, “Pills. I have five left. I’m giving you three and keeping two for myself!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Sis, you’re suddenly being so nice to me. I’m not used to it!”
Yang Nianxue glared at him. “Do you want them or not?”
Ye Xuan quickly took the jade bottle. “Of course I do!”
Yang Nianxue rolled her eyes, then said, “Little brother, do you think Burial Mountain and the Land of the Gods will give up?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Let’s go find them!”
Yang Nianxue looked at him. “Find them?”
Ye Xuan shrugged. “Of course. I don’t like being on the defensive!”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then said, “Can you beat them? They probably have more Eternal Immortality cultivators!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I can’t!”
Yang Nianxue frowned. “You can’t beat them, and you’re still going?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “They don’t know I can’t beat them!”
Yang Nianxue: “…”
Ye Xuan was a man of action. He immediately took Yang Nianxue to Burial Mountain. Soon, the siblings arrived. The moment they did, over a dozen divine senses locked onto them!
Yang Nianxue quickly stepped behind Ye Xuan.
At that moment, the Little Pagoda suddenly spoke. “Little Master, Little Mistress Nianxue is so weak. Why are you bringing her along?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said in his mind, “Little Pagoda, let me ask you, what’s my sister’s status at home?”
The Little Pagoda was silent for a moment, then said, “Compared to you, she’s heaven, and you’re earth!”
Ye Xuan snapped in his mind, “I didn’t ask you to compare her to me! If you can’t talk properly, don’t talk at all!”
Little Pagoda: “…”
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, then continued, “With her high status at home, do you think Dad would let anything happen to her?”
The Little Pagoda said gravely, “No! If anything happened to Little Mistress Nianxue, Master would lose it. He’s terrified of Mistress Su!”
It paused, then added, “With Little Mistress Nianxue here, she definitely won’t come to harm. In that sense, she’s like your talisman… Bloody hell… Little Master, you’re even selling out your own sister. You’re not human… But I like it! Heh heh…”
Yang Nianxue looked at Ye Xuan, silent, her face cold.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Little Pagoda, did you forget to soundproof your voice?”
Little Pagoda: “…”
