Who was it?
Yang Nianxue stared intently at the staircase in the distance, her right hand slowly clenching.
At that moment, a woman ascended the stairs.
Seeing her, Yang Nianxue’s expression darkened instantly!
Dao Xuan Yi!
This woman had actually found them!
Dao Xuan Yi looked at Yang Nianxue. “Where is he?”
Yang Nianxue remained silent.
Dao Xuan Yi stared at her, saying nothing.
Yang Nianxue suddenly smiled. “How did you find me?”
Dao Xuan Yi didn’t respond. Her right hand slowly clenched, and an invisible fist intent enveloped Yang Nianxue.
In that instant, Yang Nianxue felt a breath of death!
This was Dao Xuan Yi at her peak!
Yang Nianxue was about to speak when Dao Xuan Yi suddenly unleashed a punch toward her. The punch was as swift as thunder, carrying overwhelming might.
In the distance, Yang Nianxue’s eyes narrowed. She opened her palm, and a small wooden swordsman appeared in her hand. Just as she was about to activate it, she was shocked to find that the spacetime before her had turned illusory, and the terrifying force of Dao Xuan Yi’s punch had silently dissipated!
When the punch reached Yang Nianxue, it was soft and powerless!
Both women were stunned!
What was happening?
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
At that moment, Dao Xuan Yi threw another punch. The moment it was unleashed, a terrifying force surged from her fist, capable of shattering heavens and earth!
Yet, in an instant, all that force vanished, leaving another feeble punch!
Dao Xuan Yi’s pupils contracted slightly. She glanced around, only now realizing how strange this place was!
Yang Nianxue noticed it too!
The space here seemed different from the outside world!
Dao Xuan Yi slowly closed her eyes. In an instant, the space around her rippled like water.
After a long while, as if discovering something, her brows furrowed.
Yang Nianxue glanced at Dao Xuan Yi, her expression peculiar.
Her instincts told her that Dao Xuan Yi couldn’t break the restrictions of this place!
These restrictions must have been set by the mysterious Pavilion Master!
But wasn’t Dao Xuan Yi supposed to be on par with this Pavilion Master?
At that moment, Dao Xuan Yi opened her eyes. She opened her palm, and the Infinite Divine Ruler appeared. The next moment, she swung the ruler forward with a fierce strike.
The strike landed without a sound!
Dao Xuan Yi’s eyes narrowed, her face grim. Just then, as if sensing something, her pupils contracted sharply. She quickly raised the ruler to block.
*Boom!*
A powerful force suddenly struck the ruler!
*Bang!*
Dao Xuan Yi was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall. Yet the wall remained unscathed, and the entire ninth floor was eerily silent!
Rebounded!
The strike she had just unleashed had been fully reflected back at her!
Seeing this, Yang Nianxue’s expression grew solemn.
This was too bizarre!
In the distance, Dao Xuan Yi wiped the blood from her mouth, her eyes now tinged with gravity.
At that moment, Mu Xian and Lan Shan appeared in the room. Seeing Yang Nianxue, they froze. Mu Xian was about to act, but Lan Shan stopped him, gesturing toward Dao Xuan Yi.
Mu Xian looked at Dao Xuan Yi and froze upon seeing the blood at her mouth.
Yang Nianxue suddenly laughed. “It seems the owner of this study doesn’t like people fighting here!”
Dao Xuan Yi looked at Yang Nianxue. She didn’t attack again but closed her eyes slowly. Gradually, the surrounding space began to turn illusory.
She was clearly trying to break the spatial restrictions!
Mu Xian and Lan Shan also noticed the peculiarity of the place, their eyes filled with shock!
The Mysterious Pavilion Master!
They had met the Pavilion Master before. When the Immortal Treasure Pavilion wanted to establish a branch here, the Pavilion Master had approached them, asking for their cooperation.
Naturally, they hadn’t agreed easily, so they fought the Pavilion Master. The result was a draw.
This was why the Pavilion Master was said to be on par with Dao Xuan Yi—they thought the Pavilion Master was at their level! But now, it was clear that wasn’t the case. The Pavilion Master had hidden their true strength!
Dao Xuan Yi’s hands began to move rapidly, and the space in the room started to break apart and reassemble!
Before their eyes, the space in front of Dao Xuan Yi was rearranged, her hands moving faster and faster, the spatial changes accelerating. But her face grew increasingly pale!
Suddenly, the space in the study trembled violently!
Yang Nianxue frowned. Was she about to break it?
Dao Xuan Yi’s right hand suddenly pointed forward. At that moment, the space in the study rippled like a stone dropped into water.
Dao Xuan Yi’s expression relaxed—she seemed to have succeeded!
But in that instant, the space in the room began to break apart like blocks, then rapidly reassembled. The next moment, everyone’s faces changed drastically as they realized their cultivation levels were plummeting!
In just a few breaths, everyone’s cultivation dropped to zero!
Not only that, but they all became ordinary mortals, utterly powerless!
It was terrifying!
They were all stunned!
What was happening?
Dao Xuan Yi’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Spacetime regression…”
Spacetime regression!
Mu Xian and Lan Shan looked at Dao Xuan Yi. Lan Shan asked gravely, “Lady Xuan Yi, what is spacetime regression?”
Dao Xuan Yi’s eyes were still wide with disbelief. “It means the spacetime here has reverted to the past, to when we were at our weakest! This kind of divine ability… even the Lord of Time couldn’t achieve it!”
Spacetime regression!
Mu Xian and Lan Shan’s faces grew grim!
Could it really work like this?
If so, wouldn’t that make the Pavilion Master invincible?
Damn it!
Lan Shan looked at Yang Nianxue. “Is the Pavilion Master protecting them?”
Mu Xian shook his head. “Probably not. It’s this place. The Pavilion Master doesn’t want anyone fighting here.”
The Ninth Floor!
They knew the ninth floor was where the Pavilion Master resided. Even members of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion weren’t allowed up here.
Clearly, the Pavilion Master didn’t want anyone causing trouble in this space!
Dao Xuan Yi looked at Yang Nianxue in the distance, her gaze calm but laced with killing intent!
Yang Nianxue said nothing. When you’re weak, don’t act tough!
If you can’t win, it’s better to lay low!
No need to suffer unnecessarily!
Mu Xian suddenly said, “Let’s find Yu Xian. As the branch president here, he must have a way!”
With that, the two turned and left.
Dao Xuan Yi didn’t leave. She stayed in the study, looking around with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
The Pavilion Master!
She had never actually met the Pavilion Master, but the world claimed they were the two most formidable women in the Middle World, equals in strength!
Now, that seemed bitterly ironic!
The Pavilion Master’s spacetime manipulation far surpassed her!
They weren’t even in the same league!
Dao Xuan Yi gazed around, her eyes growing more bewildered.
In that moment, she suddenly understood why her master had once told her to seal her cultivation.
One mustn’t be too full of oneself!
Like a cup—if it’s too full, it can’t hold anything new!
Learning has no end!
Martial arts have no end!
The Dao has no end!
You may think you’re strong, but there’s always someone stronger!
Dao Xuan Yi slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, she gave a slight bow to the study.
This was respect!
She would no longer fight here!
Stepping outside, Dao Xuan Yi’s cultivation instantly returned, and her aura suddenly surged!
Seeing this, Yang Nianxue’s face turned exceedingly grim. “Brother, this woman just broke through… Damn it, I’m losing it!”
A breakthrough!
After being humbled, Dao Xuan Yi didn’t sink into despair. Instead, her mindset evolved, and her strength ascended to a new level!
What is a prodigy?
This was a prodigy!
What is a true powerhouse?
One who remains unfazed by honor or disgrace, who can learn from shame and grow stronger!
All the hardships and difficulties of the world are stepping stones beneath their feet, not stumbling blocks!
Outside, Dao Xuan Yi’s aura grew stronger and stronger. Though the study remained silent, the outside world was in an uproar!
The entire Middle World was in an uproar!
Supreme!
What is a Supreme?
After Eternal Immortality comes Supreme. “Supreme” signifies the ultimate limit—where body, soul, and will have reached their absolute peak. At this stage, a person’s body, soul, and will are so powerful they’ve surpassed their limits, making them super powerhouses.
Achieving Eternal Immortality isn’t particularly difficult, but reaching the absolute limit is as hard as ascending to the heavens!
There’s a vast difference between achieving something and achieving its limit!
Inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Mu Xian and Lan Shan suddenly looked up. Seeing Dao Xuan Yi’s breakthrough, their minds went blank!
She broke through?
Just like that?
They had been Supremes for a millennium, and in that time, they remained at that level because breaking through again was incredibly difficult!
Their bodies, souls, and wills had already reached their limits. Breaking through again was nearly impossible.
Yet now, Dao Xuan Yi had done it?
So easily?
Their faces were grim and complex beyond measure!
Lan Shan shook his head slightly. “In truth, it’s the result of long accumulation.”
Mu Xian remained silent.
After reaching Supreme, Dao Xuan Yi had left the Jixuan Dao, traveling alone and sealing her strength. She wandered for centuries!
Now, the opportunity had come, and she broke through naturally!
Even so, both felt a pang of envy!
From this moment, Dao Xuan Yi had surpassed the Supreme level!
Inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, when Yu Xian learned of Dao Xuan Yi’s breakthrough, he was as ecstatic as if injected with adrenaline!
Yu Xian laughed maniacally in his room!
Relief!
He was relieved he hadn’t chosen to help Ye Xuan. Otherwise, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion branch would be finished!
In his life, he had made countless decisions, but at this moment, he believed his earlier choice was the wisest of his life!
