It wasn’t long before news of Ye Xuan obtaining the Heavenly Vein spread across the Great Wilderness and the Spirit Demon Clan.
The Heavenly Vein!
A divine existence!
Even the Lord of Time and the Lord of Five Elements coveted such a treasure!
And now, it had fallen into Ye Xuan’s hands!
Who was Ye Xuan?
Both the Great Wilderness and the Spirit Demon Realm were familiar with him!
After all, he had slaughtered his way through the Spirit Demon Realm upon his arrival!
Mu Xu stood in silence for a moment before turning to leave.
Nearby, Tai Huang frowned slightly and murmured, “The Pavilion Master…”
At that moment, a Great Wilderness Hall powerhouse appeared before Tai Huang and said gravely, “Hall Master, the Heavenly Vein… should we seize it?”
Tai Huang slapped him without hesitation.
*Boom!*
The powerhouse was sent flying tens of thousands of feet!
Tai Huang shot him a cold glance, pointing at his own head in frustration. “Don’t just cultivate your realm—cultivate some intelligence, intelligence!”
With that, he turned and left.
The powerhouse: “…”
…
In the distant starry sky, Ye Xuan and Qin Guan rode their swords side by side.
Ye Xuan glanced at Qin Guan, her hands clasped behind her back, long hair flowing, exuding an indescribable aura.
Qin Guan suddenly smiled. “Young Master Ye, the Spirit Demon Clan’s giving you trouble?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “You don’t need to fear them. Their clan will eventually become history.”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Why?”
Qin Guan gave a playful smile. “Because they’re messing with you!”
Ye Xuan paused, then asked, “Why would messing with me make them history?”
Qin Guan laughed. “Young Master Ye, there are four types of people in this world who are terrifying, and you’re one of them!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Can you explain?”
Qin Guan nodded slightly. “In our Milky Way, your kind is called a Child of Destiny, or a Halo Bearer. Normally, you won’t die, unless…”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Unless what?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Unless the next Child of Destiny appears. If that happens, the previous one is no longer unique, and the world stops revolving around them. Then, they might die.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Qin Guan studied him, then said, “You’re still unique for now, so you won’t die yet. But I have a feeling that soon, you might not be the only one.”
Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. “Who’s the next one? Can I take them out first?”
Qin Guan blinked. “I advise against it.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why not?”
Qin Guan said seriously, “Because the next Child of Destiny might be your son!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Qin Guan added, “Your father, Uncle Yang, was the previous Halo Bearer.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Tower suddenly spoke, “Sister Guan, aren’t you afraid of revealing such cosmic secrets?”
Qin Guan giggled, pulling out a gun. “I have a gun. I’m not afraid!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Miss Qin, what’s your cultivation realm?”
Qin Guan shook her head. “I don’t cultivate realms!”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “You… don’t cultivate? You’re a realm-less one?”
Qin Guan nodded. “I like researching, not cultivating, so I don’t fight!”
She doesn’t fight!
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded!
This terrifying woman claimed she didn’t fight?
No fighting?
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “So, all these years, you’ve relied on that gun for protection?”
Qin Guan shook her head.
Ye Xuan was confused and about to speak when Qin Guan said, “Not just one gun—I rely on many! I have lots! Each gun is fed a hundred million Star God Veins.”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
A hundred million Star God Veins!
His mind reeled. Was this what a rich woman was like?
He dared use only fifty thousand at a time, while she used a hundred million!
Were Star God Veins cabbages?
Was he a fake second-generation heir?
Qin Guan continued, “Besides Star God Veins, there’s another kind called Cosmic Veins. These are the core spiritual veins of a world. They’re rare because forming one takes at least a million years without interruption. If disturbed, it’s not a true Cosmic Vein, just a pseudo one.”
She shook her head. “Cosmic Veins are so rare. Even I only have a few million.”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze again.
A few million…
Was that really rare?
Really?
Ye Xuan was on the verge of collapse.
Qin Guan suddenly pulled a gun from her small cloth bag, longer than an adult, and looked at Ye Xuan with a smile. “This is my big sniper, loaded with two hundred million Star God Veins! Within a million universes, if I want, I can instantly snipe anyone. One shot, and their head explodes! I named it *Don’t Mess With Me*.”
*Don’t Mess With Me*!
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan tucked *Don’t Mess With Me* back into her bag, then pulled out two egg-like objects, black with strange runes and text.
Ye Xuan was curious. “What are these?”
Qin Guan blinked. “Never seen them?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Qin Guan giggled. “These are nuclear bombs!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Nuclear bombs? Combined eggs?”
Qin Guan shook her head. “Your eggs and mine aren’t the same!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan laughed. “I fed each of these three hundred million Star God Veins, with endless core energy. If I detonate them, hehe…”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “How powerful?”
Qin Guan thought for a moment. “They could probably destroy ten thousand Great Wilderness Ancient Realms and Spirit Demon Realms!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan added, “I named them *No Martial Virtue*!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan shrugged. “They’re too powerful. I don’t want to use them—they’d harm the innocent.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “How about you let me use them?”
Qin Guan quickly shook her head. “No, no! You’re too bloodthirsty and impulsive. I can’t let you have them!”
She hurriedly put them away.
Ye Xuan glanced at her cloth bag and thought to Little Tower, “If we rob that bag, what are our odds?”
Little Tower paused, then said, “Young Master, rob it yourself. Don’t drag me into it. I’m not that kind of tower!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan suddenly looked ahead. “We’re half a quarter hour away!”
Ye Xuan smiled at her. “Miss Qin, what’s your most powerful divine artifact?”
Qin Guan blinked. “Why do you ask?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Curious!”
Qin Guan smiled. “I have four really, really powerful ones, but I can only tell you about one. The other three are secret.”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Why secret?”
Qin Guan giggled. “A trump card has to stay hidden!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan said, “I have a fleet!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “What kind of fleet?”
Qin Guan replied, “Cosmic divine ships. I have a few hundred, each with over a hundred starship machines that can freely traverse spacetime. And the fleet’s still growing! My goal is three thousand ships!”
She gave a playful smile. “With one call, they can cross millions of starfields to appear before me! I point, they strike!”
Ye Xuan paused, then thought to Little Tower, “Can we afford to mess with this woman?”
Little Tower said gravely, “First, see if you can withstand her *Equality of All Beings*.”
Ye Xuan paused, then said, “Let’s be good friends with her!”
Little Tower replied, “Great minds think alike!”
If you can’t beat them, join them!
No problem!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “We’re here!”
She stopped, and the sword beneath her flew back to her hand. As she was about to tuck it into her bag, Ye Xuan said, “Miss Qin, can I see your sword?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Of course!”
She handed it to him.
Ye Xuan examined it. The sword was two fingers wide, four feet long—longer than most—and thin as a cicada’s wing. The edge wasn’t particularly sharp.
Overall, it seemed unremarkable!
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan. “Miss Qin, is this just an ordinary sword?”
Qin Guan smiled. “For a sword cultivator, it’s very ordinary!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Qin Guan said, “This sword needs money to be powerful!”
Ye Xuan: “???”
Qin Guan took the sword and pointed at the hilt. “This is the money slot. Feed it Star God Veins, and it becomes incredibly powerful! With enough money, even an ordinary person holding it could kill a quantity transformation realm expert. But without money, it’s powerless.”
She looked at Ye Xuan and smiled. “This sword’s strength doesn’t depend on your swordsmanship, only on whether you have money!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan continued, “My sword isn’t as good as yours!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Yours involves more knowledge points, and some functions—like boosting your realm—are, strictly speaking, a bit abnormal. But I get it—this world is often abnormal!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan put away the sword. “Let’s go! They’ve probably been waiting for me.”
Ye Xuan looked ahead. Not far off was a massive stone gate.
He followed Qin Guan. “Miss Qin, where are we going?”
Qin Guan smiled. “The Great Thousand Domain, a nexus of countless planes! Remember when I said there are four terrifying types of people? Two more are there!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Tower sighed softly. “This girl doesn’t cultivate the Dao—she cultivates money. The Dao of Wealth!”
