The mysterious Dimensional Crystal!
Ye Xuan’s heart stirred with excitement!
Whether for cultivation or founding an academy, money was essential!
Be it the mundane world or the cultivation world, money was a necessity!
At that moment, Ancient Heavenly Emperor gave a faint smile, looking up at the sky. His gaze pierced through to the distant Holy King Hall in the Ninth Dimensional Universe!
One man locked eyes with nine others!
Ancient Heavenly Emperor chuckled softly, “No progress, huh?”
With that, his body completely vanished.
This time, he truly disappeared from the world!
The world no longer had an Ancient Heavenly Emperor!
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
In that moment, he suddenly understood something!
To do something, one must strive to be the best!
The same applied to cultivation. Since he had embarked on this path, he must, like Qing’er, cultivate to invincibility!
If not invincible, death would come one day!
He had to be so strong that no one could kill him!
Ye Xuan gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly, his gaze resolute.
After witnessing the Ancient Heavenly Emperor’s complete disappearance, everyone present grew somber.
They knew the world truly no longer had an Ancient Heavenly Emperor!
His era was now history!
As if struck by a thought, the crowd turned to Ye Xuan and the other two!
These were the three chosen by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and Ye Emperor!
At that moment, Ye Chen glanced at Ye Xuan and said, “Brother Ye, come visit the Ye Clan when you have time!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Sure!”
Ye Chen nodded, “Until we meet again!”
With that, he turned and left.
He harbored no hostility toward Ye Xuan. There was no need. Though the Ye Clan had minor conflicts with Ye Xuan, there was no deep grudge!
Who was the Ancient Heavenly Emperor?
Someone he deemed worthy was no ordinary person!
Having more friends was always good!
Moreover, with the Dimensional Universe as his future opponent, befriending a super powerhouse like Ye Xuan was beneficial!
Nearby, Chu Tian glanced at Ye Xuan and said, “Until we meet again!”
Then he turned and left.
Like Ye Chen, he no longer saw Ye Xuan as an enemy.
Their true enemy was the Dimensional Universe!
Beside Ye Xuan, Shi Li suddenly said, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan turned to her, and Shi Li exclaimed excitedly, “The inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and Ye Emperor… You’ve gained their approval… Do you know what this means?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, his heart unmoved.
To him, he only cared about earning Qing’er’s approval!
True approval, not the kind where she treated him like a child!
But Qing’er had only ever said of their father and brother, “They’re just alright!”
How could he earn her true approval?
It was tough!
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
Beside him, Shi Li was still ecstatic, as if she were the one who’d received the inheritance!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan said, “Just now, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor mentioned that his treaty with the Dimensional Universe has a time limit!”
Shi Li gradually calmed down.
Ye Xuan sighed, “There’s big trouble ahead!”
Shi Li nodded, “Indeed!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Miss Shi Li, I need to head back. You should return and prepare your clan as well!”
Shi Li nodded, “Alright! Young Master Ye, once I’m done, I’ll come find you at the Guanxuan Academy!”
With that, she turned and vanished into the distance.
Ye Xuan was puzzled. Come find him after she’s done… for what?
At that moment, Elder Zheng nearby said, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Elder Zheng, who smiled, “Does your Guanxuan Academy need people?”
Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly, “Of course we do!”
And so, Ye Xuan brought Elder Zheng back to the Guanxuan Academy.
News of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and Ye Emperor’s inheritance spread rapidly through the Ancient Desolation and Dimensional Universe!
The names Ye Xuan, Chu Tian, and Ye Chen instantly became known across both universes!
…
Dimensional Universe.
One day, a woman stepped out of the Holy King Hall!
It was Lu Chaoxi!
Lu Chaoxi slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, she took a deep breath and murmured, “Inheritance…”
She, too, had received the Holy King Hall’s inheritance!
At that moment, Lan Xiu appeared before her, looking at her, “The Ancient Heavenly Emperor has appeared!”
Lu Chaoxi nodded, “I know!”
Lan Xiu said solemnly, “Those three got his inheritance…”
Lu Chaoxi remained calm, “No matter!”
Lan Xiu glanced at her, puzzled but refraining from questions.
Lu Chaoxi suddenly walked off into the distance.
…
Guanxuan Academy.
After bringing Elder Zheng back, Ye Xuan immediately appointed him as an honorary elder of the Martial Academy!
High status, no real power!
Not that Ye Xuan was unwilling to give power, but Elder Zheng didn’t want the hassle!
The position of Martial Academy Dean naturally remained with Qingqiu!
On a mountain peak, Ye Xuan and Qin Guan walked slowly, the mountain breeze refreshing.
Qin Guan said softly, “The peace treaty between the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and the Dimensional Universe has a time limit… Once it expires, the Dimensional Universe might completely annihilate the Parallel Universe!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “They probably don’t want another figure like the Ancient Heavenly Emperor to emerge!”
Qin Guan sighed.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why the sigh?”
Qin Guan said softly, “Endless conflicts, when will they end?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He didn’t know when these endless conflicts would cease!
Qin Guan added, “We need to prepare in advance!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
He took out a storage ring and handed it to her, “For you!”
Qin Guan was stunned, then glanced at the ring. Her eyes flashed with surprise, “Ten thousand Dimensional Saint Crystals!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Left to me by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor!”
Qin Guan said solemnly, “These are precious! One Dimensional Saint Crystal is worth ten thousand Crystal Kings, and they’re priceless!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You handle the finances. As long as I have enough to spend, I’m good!”
Qin Guan’s lips curved, “Perfect!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan opened her palm, and a large black box appeared before Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan asked curiously, “What’s this?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Our newly upgraded Guanxuan Armor!”
Guanxuan Armor!
Ye Xuan opened the box, revealing a jet-black full-body armor inside.
Qin Guan said, “This armor is very durable. Keep it!”
Ye Xuan nodded, accepting it without refusal. As he put it on, the armor fused seamlessly with him!
Qin Guan smiled, “You cultivate. I’ve got work to do!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
Qin Guan turned and left.
Alone, Ye Xuan went straight to the Dimensional Universe.
This time, he arrived directly in the Fifth Dimensional Universe!
With the Fifth Dimensional Token gifted by the Xiao Clan, he could absorb Fifth Dimensional Power!
Beyond the Other Shore Realm was the Dimensional Realm!
That was his goal!
Ye Xuan closed his eyes, and soon, countless streams of Dimensional Power surged toward him like a tide!
Feeling the overwhelming power, his entire body trembled with exhilaration!
But then, something unexpected happened. The Dimensional Power suddenly vanished.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, frowning.
An elderly Dimensional figure appeared not far from him!
Ye Xuan looked at the elder, “What are you doing?”
The elder said calmly, “From today, the Dimensional Universe will no longer allow Parallel Universe people to enter. Those who do will be killed without mercy!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Clearly, the Dimensional Universe was targeting the Parallel Universe!
Ye Xuan asked, “Even with a Dimensional Token?”
The elder looked at him, “All Dimensional Tokens are void!”
Void!
Ye Xuan said no more, turning and vanishing.
Back in the Parallel Universe, he discovered the Dimensional Universe had sealed all access, barring anyone from the Parallel Universe from entering!
This sudden change left the entire Parallel Universe stunned!
What was going on?
The ten major forces went on high alert!
Clearly, they knew something big was brewing between the Dimensional and Parallel Universes!
…
In a certain void.
Lord Boundless walked with Deity and Monk Wu toward the distance!
Suddenly, Lord Boundless stopped, looking down with a slight frown.
Monk Wu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lord Boundless said softly, “The Dimensional Universe has closed all passages!”
Monk Wu said gravely, “Are they preparing for war?”
Lord Boundless was silent for a moment, then said, “The emergence of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and Ye Emperor’s inheritance has made the Dimensional Universe feel threatened!”
He shook his head slightly, “What a hassle!”
Monk Wu said, “The Dimensional Universe is too domineering!”
Lord Boundless sighed softly, “You can’t blame them. Think about it, the Parallel Universe keeps waging wars against the Dimensional Universe, seizing their resources. If you were from the Dimensional Universe, would you agree to that?”
Monk Wu’s expression froze.
Lord Boundless continued, “Of course, the Parallel Universe isn’t wrong either. They want better development, and the only way is to conquer the Dimensional Universe…”
He shook his head, “No one’s wrong!”
Monk Wu looked at him, “Is that why you stay out of it?”
Lord Boundless was silent for a moment, then said, “No! I’m just too busy! Besides, I have no grudges with either universe. Why would I get involved? Am I that idle?”
Monk Wu looked at him, “Don’t you need cultivation resources?”
Lord Boundless was silent for a long time before saying, “Monk, what do I have to do to make you see I’m different from them? I… am also extremely, extremely, extremely awesome, okay?”
Monk Wu: “…”
