Guanxuan City.
Being an abandoned city, its development was quite troublesome, as everything within needed replacing!
However, Qin Guan’s strength was formidable. With a teleportation array, she transported over a hundred thousand people to Guanxuan City in less than half a day!
The city was named Guanxuan because Qin Guan couldn’t be bothered to come up with a new name!
Keep things simple!
In this regard, she was just like Ye Xuan!
Both lazy!
On the city walls, Ye Xuan gazed at the distant Demon Beast Mountain Range. As Qin Guan’s people began constructing the city, the Demon Beast Mountain Range kept a close watch, with powerful divine senses occasionally probing the city!
At that moment, Qin Guan walked to Ye Xuan’s side, looking towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range, smiling, “Looks like we’ll have to fight a battle!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
As an outside force, to establish a foothold here, they naturally had to fight. Without a fight, others wouldn’t easily let them settle!
Qin Guan said softly, “I need to bring over one of my big weapons!”
Ye Xuan turned to her, and she continued quietly, “This place is dangerous, and there may be more trouble in the future. We must have a big weapon!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “More powerful than the Godslayer?”
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He vividly remembered the Godslayer, which had obliterated the Great Chu Realm!
Qin Guan looked at the Demon Beast Mountain Range, saying softly, “To establish ourselves here, we need immense strength. Once we’re settled, we’ll head to the inner regions of Ancient Wilderness, the Ancient Wilderness Domain, the core of this land where the ten superpowers reside!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
Just then, the distant horizon trembled violently. A moment later, a terrifying phantom of a demon beast appeared in the sky.
The phantom glared down at Guanxuan City, its gaze cold and menacing.
Qin Guan smiled, “Here it comes!”
Ye Xuan looked at the phantom, his expression calm!
Suddenly, the demon beast phantom roared.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying pressure surged towards Guanxuan City like a tidal wave.
They struck!
No nonsense!
On the city wall, Ye Xuan looked up at the phantom, his thumb lightly flicking.
Swish!
The Qingxuan Sword unsheathed, slashing into the sky in a blink.
Boom!
The demon beast phantom was torn to pieces before it could react!
The Qingxuan Sword returned to its sheath, leaving a ten-thousand-foot-long tear in the sky.
Ye Xuan turned to Qin Guan, smiling, “Dealt with!”
Qin Guan blinked, saying nothing.
At that moment, a powerful, unmatched aura suddenly surged from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, shaking heaven and earth!
The ground began to tremble!
Ye Xuan frowned, turning to the mountain range, his gaze blazing. The next moment, he rode his sword, flying into the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Moments later, the mountains shook violently.
A few breaths later, a massive demon beast head shot into the sky from the range!
Ye Xuan reappeared on the city wall, his palm open, the blood-stained Qingxuan Sword landing steadily in his hand. He turned to Qin Guan, smiling, “Dealt with!”
With that, he turned and left.
Qin Guan glanced at the bloody demon beast head in the distant sky, her lips curving slightly, then turned and left.
Development.
In the following days, Ye Xuan went into secluded cultivation, while Qin Guan oversaw the development of Guanxuan City.
Originally a ruined city, in a short time, Qin Guan transformed it entirely!
The power of wealth!
Moreover, a group of mysterious people appeared around Qin Guan, returning daily from outside to report to her, their numbers growing!
Inside the small pagoda.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged.
Cultivating!
He was now at the Heart-Shattering Realm, able to borrow the power of the dimensional universe. Beyond that, he had the Human Sword Intent, the Qingxuan Sword, and his bloodline power!
This made him nearly invincible among his peers!
Unlike others, he could directly tap into the dimensional universe’s power, several times more than most!
The Qingxuan Sword was undoubtedly a supreme divine artifact. With it, his strength wasn’t just doubled!
His Human Sword Intent was also extraordinary, growing stronger daily!
Most terrifying was his current bloodline power! Not only could he form swords from blood, but activating his bloodline power boosted his combat strength several-fold!
With these factors, he was virtually peerless in his realm and could even challenge those above him!
Still, he didn’t dare get complacent. This was the Ancient Wilderness, teeming with prodigies and geniuses!
One day later.
One day outside was ten years inside the pagoda!
After ten years of intense cultivation, Ye Xuan left the pagoda. His realm hadn’t advanced, but his sword techniques and swordsmanship had improved significantly.
Leaving the pagoda, he entered the starry sky, thrusting his sword, instantly entering the dimensional universe!
In the dimensional universe, he looked deep into the starry sky, frowning, as all he saw was a blur!
He wanted to investigate!
Should he take the risk?
Ye Xuan felt tempted.
Try it!
He opened his palm, merging with the Qingxuan Sword, his aura concealed.
After hiding his presence, he glanced up and quietly floated upward.
Admittedly, he was a bit nervous!
He’d been beaten here before!
Soon, he passed through the blurry region, entering a new world.
In the starry sky, countless cities floated, unlike human cities, shaped like pyramids, massive structures adrift in the endless cosmos.
Moreover, the people here were entirely different from those in the parallel world, with strange appearances and structures unlike humans.
Most notably, Ye Xuan noticed the space here differed from the parallel world. Many spaces were folded, with no clear up or down. From his position, some people appeared to walk upside down.
Space here was utterly different from the parallel world!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, “Did you sneak up here?”
Ye Xuan froze, then spun around. Before him stood a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a pristine white dress, breathtakingly beautiful, with a small braid at the back of her head!
Behind her stood an old man in a wide black robe, his aura deep as the vast starry sky!
Ye Xuan collected his thoughts, nodding slightly, “Yes!”
The woman studied him, then smiled, “You’re quite bold!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Did you come up here openly?”
She blinked, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs-up, “Impressive!”
She giggled, “You’re impressive too! At such a low realm, sneaking up here, not simple!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Low realm? I’m at Heart-Shattering Void Realm!”
“Heart-Shattering Void Realm…”
She looked at him, then chuckled, “Alright, not low at all!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
She smiled faintly, “Ahead lies the Dimensional Realm’s territory. Don’t go further! Your concealment is clever, but if you enter, you’ll be detected!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Why?”
She smiled, “Dimensional beings have different auras from us. They have aura detection! If you’re found, it’ll be hard to leave!”
Aura detection!
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Understood!”
She smiled, “I’m off! See you again!”
With that, she and the old man started to leave!
Then Ye Xuan suddenly called, “Miss!”
She stopped, turning to him. He hesitated, then said, “Can you show me around?”
“Hm?”
She blinked, “Show you around?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’m curious about this place! Just a tour!”
She fell silent.
The old man behind her glanced at Ye Xuan, transmitting via mystic energy, “Miss, this man doesn’t seem trustworthy!”
She smiled, “Alright! If you want a tour, follow me! But you must listen to me, no trouble!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “Deal!”
The old man glanced at her, saying nothing.
She led the old man and Ye Xuan forward!
She suddenly said, “I’m Shi Li! You?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan!”
She glanced at him, smiling without a word.
The old man also looked at Ye Xuan, frowning slightly, transmitting, “Miss, he seems unaware of our Shi Clan!”
Shi Li smiled faintly, “Indeed!”
The old man said gravely, “His origins are unclear…”
Shi Li shook her head, “No need to worry. This young master means no harm and doesn’t seem bad. To reach here at Heart-Shattering Void Realm, he’s no ordinary person. Since he’s extraordinary, why not make a connection, form a bond?”
The old man fell silent.
Shi Li looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Not only is this your first time in the dimensional universe, but also in the Ancient Wilderness, right?”
Ye Xuan paused, then shook his head with a smile, “It seems your Shi Clan is a major force in the Ancient Wilderness…”
Shi Li smiled, “Not exactly a major clan, but most forces in the Ancient Wilderness should know of us. You don’t, so you must be new here!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Shi Li suddenly said, “Do you have a destination? If not, would you join my Shi Clan? I’m short on people. If you’re willing, I’ll treat you sincerely!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, then smiled, “Thanks for your kindness, Miss Shi Li, but I don’t want to join other forces for now!”
The old man suddenly said, “Our Shi Clan is one of the ten superpowers!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “I’m used to freedom!”
The old man looked at him, “In life, talent and effort are essential, but young master, do you know what’s even more important? Opportunity. Often, if you don’t seize the chances before you, no amount of effort matters.”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “You’re right, senior!”
The old man nodded, thinking Ye Xuan had come around, but then Ye Xuan added, “So, I’ll stick with my sister!”
The old man: “…”
