Inside the hall, after Ding Shaoyao left, Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
He truly couldn’t refuse Ding Shaoyao’s help—her contributions were far too vital for the Guanxuan Academy.
Without dwelling on it, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.
Upper God Realm!
After exploring the secret realm with Qing’er, he had gained much but also realised many things.
The gap in strength!
The difference between him and the big shots in the secret realm was still vast. Qing’er could take them down effortlessly, but that didn’t mean Ye Xuan could. For instance, those so-called Variant Spirits—if it came to a one-on-one fight, he couldn’t handle them at his current level.
He needed to improve his strength!
Ye Xuan began to comprehend the Supreme God state.
While Ye Xuan cultivated, the Guanxuan Academy, bolstered by the Yang Clan’s involvement, was growing at an indescribable pace. The Yang Clan, a mysterious force, was gradually coming into the open. Previously, they had only operated in high-tier universes, but now they were entering the view of lower-plane cosmic civilizations.
Of course, the most significant development was the Guanxuan Academy. Initially, it was just somewhat known, but now it swept through the known universe like a plague.
…
Inside Little Tower.
On a training ground, Qingqiu stood on a stone platform, facing about a hundred people.
These hundred were handpicked by Qingqiu from the Guanxuan Academy and various universes.
Leading them was Dao Ling, with Jun Xie, Shi Tian, and Tian Qi beside him!
These four were Ye Xuan’s old brothers, specifically sought out by him. Their talents were top-tier; all they lacked were resources and a platform!
Qingqiu glanced at the group. “Your goal is the peak of the Void Self Realm. You have money, cultivation methods, and time!”
With that, she turned to leave but paused and added, “The first to reach the Void Self Realm gets twenty billion cosmic veins. The last one leaves this place.”
Then she vanished into the distance.
The group exchanged glances, then began cultivating frantically.
Elsewhere, Qingqiu watched them with a faint smile.
In the near future, the Guanxuan Academy would gain a host of super-powerful cultivators.
Moments later, Qingqiu left.
As she exited Little Tower, a woman appeared before her—Ding Shaoyao.
Ding Shaoyao smiled at Qingqiu. “Miss Qingqiu, hello!”
Qingqiu nodded. “From the Yang Clan?”
Ding Shaoyao nodded. “I’m Ding Shaoyao, your brother’s Aunt Ding!”
Qingqiu smiled faintly. “Does Miss Ding have something to discuss?”
Ding Shaoyao smiled. “I’d like to talk about the future development of the Guanxuan Academy.”
Qingqiu nodded. “Alright!”
Ding Shaoyao said, “With the Yang Clan joining, the Guanxuan Academy is practically invincible in the known universe. But my investigations show that the Boundless Universe is starting to stir!”
Qingqiu’s expression remained calm, and she stayed silent.
Ding Shaoyao continued, “I looked into the Hundred Clans Era. Back then, countless races and powerhouses thrived, but that era was destroyed by the Boundless Universe. If not for the Great Dao Pen Master’s intervention, the known universe would be gone!”
Qingqiu looked at Ding Shaoyao. “What’s your point, Miss Ding?”
Ding Shaoyao smiled. “Our current enemy is the Boundless Universe, right?”
Qingqiu smiled faintly, saying nothing.
Ding Shaoyao looked at her. “Does Miss Qingqiu think little of the Boundless Universe?”
Qingqiu shook her head. “Only those three can dismiss it so lightly!”
Ding Shaoyao stared at Qingqiu. “Can’t you reach their level?”
Qingqiu smiled faintly. “Not yet!”
Ding Shaoyao frowned slightly. “Why not?”
Qingqiu said softly, “The timing isn’t right!”
Timing!
A trace of confusion flashed in Ding Shaoyao’s eyes. “When will the timing be right?”
Qingqiu smiled lightly, remaining silent.
Ding Shaoyao glanced at her and didn’t press further.
Qingqiu suddenly added, “The Boundless Universe is more complex than you think!”
Ding Shaoyao said gravely, “I know. Even the Great Dao Pen Master can’t control it…”
Qingqiu shook her head. “You’re wrong again!”
Ding Shaoyao looked at Qingqiu, who said softly, “The Great Dao Pen Master is far stronger than you imagine. For now, no one dares kill him, not even the Plain-Skirt Destiny.”
Ding Shaoyao frowned. “Why?”
Qingqiu said, “Because he is the origin of all causes. If he dies…”
She shook her head slightly. “Do you know what the Plain-Skirt Destiny wants to do?”
Ding Shaoyao shook her head.
Qingqiu smiled faintly. “She wants to help Brother break free from this cycle, but that can’t be rushed. She has to wait!”
Ding Shaoyao was silent for a moment, then asked, “How strong is the Great Dao Pen Master?”
Qingqiu paused, then said, “Under the three swords, no one can kill him!”
She paused again, adding, “The future me can!”
Ding Shaoyao: “…”
Qingqiu continued, “Miss Ding, the forces in the Boundless Universe are quite complex. Without the three swords acting, the known universe’s current forces might not win against them! So, tell your Yang Clan to be cautious!”
With that, she turned and left.
Ding Shaoyao suddenly called, “Want to check out the Boundless Universe?”
From afar, Qingqiu shook her head. “Someone’s already gone!”
With that, she vanished.
Ding Shaoyao fell silent.
Boundless Universe!
She had sent people there too!
Looking into the depths of the starry sky, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
Since the green-robed man left last time, she hadn’t been able to contact him, nor could Su Qingshi.
This had never happened before!
Was the known universe truly about to change?
Ding Shaoyao’s brows furrowed slightly.
…
Deep in the starry sky, a woman traversed the star fields.
Dressed in a white robe with her hair in a ponytail, she gripped a long spear in her right hand.
Her speed was astonishing, crossing tens of thousands of star fields in the blink of an eye.
After an unknown time, she arrived in an unfamiliar star field. A thousand feet ahead stood a massive illusory light gate, nearly a million feet wide and tall, with a single word floating above: Suppress!
One of the six true words: Suppress!
It could subdue all in the world!
The woman looked beyond the gate, but the view was chaotic, revealing nothing.
Seeing this, she frowned slightly. Moments later, she walked toward the gate. As she approached, the word “Suppress” trembled faintly, and a terrifying force surged toward her!
Seeing this, the ponytail woman’s brows furrowed. She thrust her spear forward.
Boom!
The terrifying force dissipated instantly.
Her body trembled, and she rushed toward the gate. The word “Suppress” unleashed another wave of terrifying power. Unfazed, she swung her spear.
Boom!
The force shattered. Just as she was about to enter the gate, a shadowy figure appeared, and a fist imprint shot toward her.
A glint of ferocity flashed in her eyes as she thrust her spear.
Boom!
The gate trembled violently, waves of terrifying force rippling outward. Soon, the entire star field boiled!
The shadowy figure before her solidified into a tall woman in a tight black robe, with three horns on her head.
The black-robed woman’s fist met the ponytail woman’s spear!
Suddenly, the black-robed woman threw another punch!
The ponytail woman’s eyes narrowed, her right hand spinning the spear.
Boom!
The two forces erupted, instantly twisting the surrounding starry sky!
Seeing her punch fail to push back the ponytail woman, a trace of surprise flashed in the black-robed woman’s eyes.
At that moment, the word “Suppress” above them trembled, and a terrifying force slammed toward the black-robed woman.
Seeing this, a glint of ferocity flashed in her eyes. Her left hand shot out a palm strike!
Boom!
A palm imprint soared upward, colliding with the terrifying force.
Boom!
A shockwave erupted, pushing the black-robed woman back a hundred feet. As she stopped, she charged forward, throwing a punch at the word “Suppress.”
Boom!
The word trembled violently, cracks appearing.
The ponytail woman watched silently, not intervening.
Far off, the black-robed woman sneered at the word “Suppress.” “This is the so-called Six True Words? Laughable!”
With that, she vanished.
The next moment, her fist shot toward the word “Suppress.”
But then, the word vanished.
Boom!
A terrifying force erupted, and the black-robed woman was forced back ten thousand feet. As she stopped, the cracks on the word “Suppress” grew larger!
She glared at it, snarling, “A single word thinks it can suppress us? A fool’s dream.”
She didn’t attack again, turning toward the gate. Then, glancing at the ponytail woman, she sneered, “You lot, just wait!”
With that, she walked toward the gate.
A voice suddenly called from afar, “Wait!”
The black-robed woman turned. A woman dashed toward her, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, trousers, cloth shoes, and a small cloth bag slung at her waist.
It was Qin Guan!
Qin Guan smiled at the black-robed woman. “Miss, I’m Qin Guan!”
The black-robed woman stared, silent.
Qin Guan smiled. “I’d like to do business in the Boundless Universe!”
The black-robed woman’s face was expressionless. “Get lost!”
Qin Guan’s brows furrowed slightly, her right hand reaching into her small cloth bag…
