Claim the inheritance!
The thought alone made Ye Xuan giddy!
Finally, no more getting beaten to a pulp.
Life wasn’t just about fighting and killing.
A happy life was about to begin.
In the starry sky.
Ye Xuan looked at the black-robed elder before him, “You’re leaving?”
The black-robed elder nodded.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Who do you listen to, me or my dad?”
The black-robed elder’s expression froze.
This was a deadly question!
Ye Xuan grinned, “Hard to answer?”
The black-robed elder gave a wry smile, “Young Master, I’m just an honest man!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The black-robed elder hesitated, then said, “Young Master, if you have any needs, just give the order!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I’m worried the journey won’t be safe. How about you escort me part of the way?”
The black-robed elder smiled slightly, “A small matter, we’re happy to escort you, Young Master.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Thank you!”
The black-robed elder hurriedly said, “Young Master, please don’t say that, you’re embarrassing me.”
Ye Xuan smiled, then said, “Do one thing for me, find that Demon Lotus from the Demon Sky Clan!”
He hadn’t forgotten about that woman. She was adaptable and dangerous, leaving her alive could cause trouble.
The black-robed elder gave a slight bow, “Understood.”
With that, he turned and left.
In the scene, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the sword his father gave him appeared.
Ye Xuan channeled his mysterious energy, and the sword trembled slightly. Moments later, he frowned, realizing he still couldn’t find anything special about it.
Specially crafted for him by his dad?
Ye Xuan grew suspicious, was his dad messing with him?
It felt entirely possible.
This dad of his was sometimes downright inhumane!
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then tried to absorb the sword, only to be shocked that he couldn’t!
Looking at the sword in his hand, he couldn’t believe it. Only something like the Qingxuan Sword could resist his invincible sword body’s absorption.
And this sword wasn’t absorbed!
It had some substance!
Ye Xuan examined the sword again, then swung it.
Hiss!
The slash tore a massive gash in the starry sky tens of thousands of feet away.
Ye Xuan frowned, the sword offered no enhancement.
After a moment’s silence, he said, “Mate, care to show off a bit?”
No response!
Ye Xuan sighed softly. The sword was definitely exceptional, but he didn’t know how.
His dad was so cryptic, even giving a sword was so roundabout.
Ye Xuan stopped pondering and put the sword away. At that moment, the black-robed elder appeared before him. Ye Xuan looked at him, “Found her?”
The black-robed elder nodded.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “Killed her?”
The black-robed elder hesitated, then said, “No! Young Master, you need to come with me!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
A quarter of an hour later, led by the black-robed elder, Ye Xuan arrived at a ruin. There, he saw the Demon Lotus, still in her black dress, beautiful yet mature.
The Demon Lotus turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan said, “You wanted to see me?”
The Demon Lotus nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “You’re not trying to trick me, are you?”
The Demon Lotus shook her head, “Young Master Ye is wise beyond measure, no one could trick you!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I’m curious why you want to see me before you die!”
The Demon Lotus looked at Ye Xuan, “If I die, please don’t pursue my family or my son, alright?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
The Demon Lotus smiled slightly, “What I did has nothing to do with them.”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
The Demon Lotus gave a slight bow, “Thank you!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I haven’t agreed yet!”
The Demon Lotus smiled, “You will.”
Ye Xuan frowned.
The Demon Lotus continued, “Because Young Master Ye is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Don’t put a halo on me! Demon Lotus, don’t act like I’m the villain. If I had lost that day, what would my fate have been?”
With that, he turned to leave.
The Demon Lotus continued, “Young Master Ye…”
In the distance, Ye Xuan shook his head, “I’m not interested in your nonsense. As for you wanting to live, I can tell you clearly, no chance. Even if the Three Swords came, I’d still kill you, you…”
The Demon Lotus suddenly said, “Ten million cosmic veins!”
Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, turned to her, “I think enemies should resolve, not deepen, conflicts. Let’s talk!”
Beside Ye Xuan, the black-robed elder couldn’t help but glance at him, his eyes clearly shocked.
The Demon Lotus looked at Ye Xuan, “Ten million cosmic veins to buy my life!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “The hatred between us can’t be measured by money, I…”
The Demon Lotus suddenly said, “Fifteen million!”
Fifteen million!
Ye Xuan looked at her. Her face was pale, “That’s the most I can offer!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm.
The Demon Lotus hesitated, then said, “You won’t take the money and go back on your word, will you?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Is that metaphor appropriate here? Huh?”
The Demon Lotus: “…”
At that moment, a black-clad man appeared beside her, handing her a storage ring. She took it and passed it to Ye Xuan. At that moment, her heart bled!
Fifteen million cosmic veins!
Her life’s savings!
Not just her savings, but the support of the Black Phoenix God Clan. Without their backing, she couldn’t have gathered so many cosmic veins!
For the Black Phoenix God Clan, this was a massive loss!
Ye Xuan took the storage ring and turned to leave.
The black-robed elder hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye… kill or…”
Ye Xuan glanced at the Demon Lotus, “Will you seek revenge?”
The Demon Lotus immediately said, “As long as your father lives, I’ll never seek revenge!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily and turned to leave.
The black-robed elder hurriedly followed.
In the scene, the Demon Lotus relaxed.
She survived!
At that moment, the black-clad man nearby hesitated, then said, “Miss… what you said earlier…”
The Demon Lotus looked into the distance, softly saying, “I said I wouldn’t seek revenge, but he definitely won’t believe me! I was telling him I want revenge, but I don’t have the ability to do it!”
The black-clad man nodded, “Understood!”
He hesitated, then said, “The Demon Sky Clan…”
The Demon Lotus shook her head, “We’ve already lost!”
She turned to the horizon, softly saying, “That green-shirted man… his power is despair-inducing. Even now, I still feel despair!”
The black-clad man frowned, puzzled. Now?
…
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan rode his sword!
Fifteen million cosmic veins!
Admittedly, it was a fortune for him!
He had to take it!
Because he desperately needed cosmic veins!
He was only at the Time Realm, not even a Time Controller, and above that were Reincarnation Walkers, and even stronger beings!
Cultivation required money!
At that moment, the black-robed elder suddenly said, “Young Master, do you know why that woman survived?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “What do you mean?”
The black-robed elder said gravely, “That woman is far from simple. If it were just me, I couldn’t have killed her.”
Ye Xuan looked at him. The elder said solemnly, “She’s likely reached the Mysterious Knowledge Realm!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Mysterious Knowledge Realm?”
The black-robed elder nodded.
Ye Xuan sighed softly, holding his head in his hands.
The elder hesitated, then said, “It seems Young Master isn’t familiar with this realm. No worries, let me explain…”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Stop!”
The elder froze.
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Don’t talk about realms, it annoys me. To hell with realms…”
With that, he turned and left.
The black-robed elder: “…”
…
Admittedly, Ye Xuan was genuinely annoyed.
Too many realms!
So many it felt utterly abnormal, the realm system was so chaotic, it was absurd!
Who the hell came up with this mess…
Ye Xuan was speechless.
And Qin Guan!
Wasn’t she supposed to organize the realms? No idea how that was going!
Though annoyed, Ye Xuan still needed to understand this Mysterious Knowledge Realm!
With the black-robed elder’s explanation, Ye Xuan gained some insight.
Mysterious Knowledge!
It meant understanding the workings of the Great Dao Pen!
The fate of all things in the world was governed by the Great Dao Pen, and Mysterious Knowledge meant being able to perceive its trajectory!
The Great Dao Pen was now a direction!
A cultivation direction for top powerhouses!
Who wouldn’t want to break free from the Great Dao Pen and transcend the path of fate!
Ye Xuan didn’t pursue this realm, he wanted to take it slow!
Steady himself!
He’d cultivated too hastily before, so now he wanted stability!
Of course, he could afford to be steady because he had confidence. Unlike before, when he went to new universes to get beaten up.
But this time was different, what was he going for?
To claim his inheritance!
In the Realm of Gods, a massive inheritance awaited him!
This time, he was going to show off!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but grin, delighted.
At that moment, he felt the world was actually pretty great.
Life was full of beauty!
Soon, Ye Xuan and his group arrived in the Realm of Gods.
In a certain starry sky, the black-robed elder gave Ye Xuan a slight bow, “Young Master, the Mysterious Sect is just ahead. We’ll take our leave!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Go on!”
The black-robed elder gave another slight bow and retreated.
…
Ye Xuan glanced into the distance, smiled, put on the Mysterious Ring, and walked forward.
Soon, he reached the Mysterious Sect. Upon arriving, he froze.
He stood on a small hill, and before him, on another small hill, was a low, tiny hall. The hall was small, missing one door, with peeling pillars…
If not for the crooked plaque above the gate reading “Mysterious Sect,” he’d have thought he’d come to the wrong place.
At that moment, a disheveled old man walked out. Seeing Ye Xuan, he was stunned, then his face changed drastically. He rushed to Ye Xuan, hugged his legs, and wailed, “Young Master… Young Master, you’re finally here! If you hadn’t come, the dozen or so of us in the Mysterious Sect would’ve starved to death! Young Master…”
As he cried, he suddenly convulsed, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.
Ye Xuan looked and was dumbfounded!
This guy was genuinely starving to death!
At that moment, seven or eight more people rushed out. Seeing Ye Xuan, they ran to him, crying just like the old man…
Ye Xuan glanced at them and realized they were all ordinary people!
All ordinary people!
Not a single cultivator!
Ye Xuan’s mind went blank.
He looked at the Mysterious Sect in the distance. After a moment, he raised his middle finger to the sky, “Elder Jun… I curse your bloody grandma…”
…
