In the hall, Xuantian stared at Di Yuan without speaking.
Seeing Xuantian’s silence, Di Yuan frowned, sensing something off in the atmosphere, and quietly put up his guard.
Di Yuan hesitated, then said, “Realm Lord?”
Xuantian suddenly spoke, “You just said you have no connection whatsoever with Young Master Ye?”
Hearing this, Di Yuan quickly nodded, “Exactly! My Emperor Desolate Clan has no ties with him. We’re willing to assist the Xuantian Realm…”
As he spoke, his face suddenly changed, as if realizing something.
Young Master Ye?
The Xuantian Realm Lord called Ye Xuan “Young Master Ye”?
At that moment, Xuantian said, “Good, no connection at all!”
His voice fell, and he suddenly flipped his right hand, pressing down fiercely.
In the distance, Di Yuan’s expression changed drastically. He raised both arms to block.
*Boom!*
Di Yuan’s physical body shattered instantly, his soul gripped by an invisible hand.
Di Yuan stared at Xuantian, full of disbelief, “Realm Lord Xuantian… why?”
Xuantian sneered, “Playing smart!”
Di Yuan said gravely, “Realm Lord Xuantian, if you’re going to kill me, can you at least let me die knowing why?”
Xuantian’s face was expressionless, “Do you know who Young Master Ye is?”
Young Master Ye!
Hearing those words, Di Yuan froze.
Xuantian glared at him, roaring, “Someone I can’t afford to provoke!”
With that, he waved his sleeve.
*Boom!*
Di Yuan’s soul was erased on the spot!
Xuantian coldly glanced at where Di Yuan vanished, “Idiot!”
…
**Immortal Treasure Pavilion**
Ye Xuan opened the box, revealing a small piece of armor, dark gold, palm-sized, emitting a faint, flowing light, smooth and mysterious.
Seeing the tiny armor, Ye Xuan frowned, “Armor?”
Suddenly, the black armor turned into a beam of black light and surged into his brow!
*Boom!*
In an instant, Ye Xuan’s eyes widened, two beams of blood-red light shooting out.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The beams pierced through the starry river, vanishing into the depths of the endless cosmos!
At the same time, Ye Xuan’s body trembled violently, his Mad Demon Bloodline activating instantly! Not only that, the Burial Sword in his hand also trembled fiercely, as if about to fully awaken!
Ye Xuan was shocked!
What the hell?
He hurriedly suppressed his bloodline power, but soon realized thin scales had appeared on his body, with dark black blood flowing slowly over them. His Mad Demon Bloodline couldn’t suppress this dark blood!
Second Sister’s bloodline!
In that moment, Ye Xuan was certain!
This armor was definitely made from Second Sister’s shed scales, and it contained her blood!
Realizing this, Ye Xuan was thrilled!
Second Sister’s armor—how terrifying must that be?
Though made from her discarded scales, it was still absolutely fearsome!
Ye Xuan looked at the bloodline within the armor, shocked. No wonder his bloodline couldn’t suppress it—it was Second Sister’s!
Second Sister’s bloodline was something else!
This was the first time his Mad Demon Bloodline couldn’t overpower another.
But it was likely due to his own limitations, as his Mad Demon Bloodline hadn’t grown much. If it were his father’s, it’d be different.
Ye Xuan refocused, slowly suppressing his Mad Demon Bloodline. Under his efforts, it calmed, and Second Sister’s bloodline merged back into the armor, the Burial Sword returning to normal.
Ye Xuan touched the armor, feeling its solidity!
He thought for a moment, then took out the Great Dao Pen and slashed at himself.
*Boom!*
The pen’s edge struck!
*Boom!*
A burst of light erupted from Ye Xuan’s chest, but he was completely unharmed!
Nothing happened!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was stunned, then burst into laughter.
With Second Sister’s armor and his Moment of Invincibility sword technique, dying would be near impossible!
Right now, he wanted to shout: *Under three swords, I’m invincible!*
But he calmed himself down!
No reckless shouting!
He’d been slapped in the face too many times before, and his moments of glory rarely lasted three days!
Though he felt invincible now, he needed to stay low-key!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and with a thought, the armor silently merged into his body.
He grinned, “This time, Dad really feels like a dad!”
Man in the Green Robe: “…”
Ye Xuan put away the Great Dao Pen, glanced around, smiled faintly, and turned to leave. This trip had been incredibly rewarding!
Outside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, he saw Xu Tian, who hurriedly bowed, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “President Xu Tian, I’m heading out!”
Xu Tian smiled, “Come back anytime, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Take care!”
With that, he rode his sword and vanished into the starry sky.
Xu Tian looked to the heavens, murmuring, “The Emperor Desolate Clan… is done for!”
He’d already heard of Di Yuan’s death. With Di Yuan gone, the Emperor Desolate Clan would surely be devoured by surrounding forces!
Xu Tian sighed softly. Di Yuan had bet on the wrong horse!
…
Ye Xuan didn’t return directly to the Divine Cosmos but went to the Immortal Treasure Realm. Arriving at Immortal Treasure City, he froze.
At the city gate, hundreds of bloody heads were displayed!
What was this?
Ye Xuan frowned.
At that moment, Xiao Lan, the president of Immortal Treasure City, appeared. Seeing Ye Xuan, she hurriedly bowed, “Young Master Ye!”
Her attitude was even more respectful than before!
Ye Xuan pointed at the heads, “What’s this?”
Xiao Lan said solemnly, “All heads of Xuantian Divine Realm experts!”
Ye Xuan was taken aback, “Xuantian Divine Realm?”
Xiao Lan nodded, “I contacted the Pavilion Master earlier. She didn’t come herself but sent people! Then, the heads of all Cave Mysterious Realm and above experts from the Xuantian Divine Realm were placed here!”
Qin Guan!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. Qin Guan seemed easygoing, but only if you didn’t cross her, especially not her rules!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan asked, “What about Xuantian?”
Xiao Lan bowed deeply, “The Pavilion Master said since Young Master Ye didn’t kill him, there must be a reason, so out of respect for you, it’s not him!”
Giving him face!
Ye Xuan was stunned, then laughed, “Little Guan really thought this through!”
Little Guan!
Xiao Lan’s eyelids twitched. Young Master Ye’s relationship with the Pavilion Master was truly extraordinary!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Is your auction still happening?”
Xiao Lan nodded, “It is!”
Ye Xuan asked, “When?”
Xiao Lan hesitated, then said, “When does Young Master Ye think is suitable?”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then laughed, “You guys can arrange it yourselves!”
Xiao Lan smiled, “Whenever suits Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “I don’t have that much money!”
Xiao Lan glanced around, then said, “Young Master Ye, are you interested in that Dao God Relic?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Xiao Lan said solemnly, “Young Master Ye, we studied it and found no single force can afford the Dao God Relic. So, the Pavilion Master came up with an idea—group purchase.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Group purchase?”
Xiao Lan nodded, “Yes! Several forces buy it together and share the relic.”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Are other forces willing?”
Xiao Lan nodded, “They are! No single force can handle this relic alone.”
She glanced around, then said, “Young Master Ye, we’ll add your name to the list, and you won’t need to pay a thing!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Is that appropriate?”
Xiao Lan smiled, “We’re all family, what’s inappropriate?”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “President Xiao Lan, you’re too kind! I, Ye Xuan, won’t forget this favor!”
Xiao Lan was overjoyed, “Young Master Ye, you’re too polite!”
With that, she gestured, “Young Master Ye, please come in. I’ll notify you when the auction ends!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good!”
Led by Xiao Lan, Ye Xuan entered the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, where she arranged the highest-class room for him.
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged!
Cultivating!
His battle with Xuantian and others had been fruitful!
Especially against Xu Mu, their back-and-forth taught him a lot.
Most importantly, he’d reached the Ancient God Realm with the Great Dao Pen. Now, his goal was to break through to it for real!
The timing felt right!
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan sat, reaching the Ancient God Realm again with the pen’s help, carefully sensing it while burning cosmic veins!
Breaking through required a ton of cosmic veins!
Luckily, he had the hundred million from his father and eighty million from Xuantian, or he couldn’t keep cultivating.
Days passed, and after about three days, Ye Xuan’s aura, sitting cross-legged, dropped back to Cave Mysterious, but soon climbed back to Ancient God Realm!
This time, his aura gradually stabilized…
After some time, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, and with a wave of his palm, thousands of swords formed from sword intent appeared around him!
Ancient God Realm!
But Ye Xuan wasn’t happy; his brows furrowed.
His Ancient God Realm felt shaky, unstable, barely stronger than Half-God Realm!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He knew he’d been too hasty!
Even with the Great Dao Pen, breakthroughs weren’t that simple!
Too rushed!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. He needed to stabilize his realm slowly, which might take a long time.
At that moment, Xiao Lan appeared nearby, bowing slightly, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Something up?”
Xiao Lan nodded, “Young Master Ye, the auction has ended. Per the agreement, you’re to head to the Dao God Relic together.”
Dao God Relic!
