Ye Xuan opened his eyes, looking at Jia Wu before him, his brows slightly furrowed. “Who are you?”
Jia Wu gazed at Ye Xuan. “I am Jia Wu, an ancient cultivator! I once challenged the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
An ancient cultivator?
Ye Xuan’s eyes grew more puzzled. “Do we know each other?”
Jia Wu studied Ye Xuan, then said, “No, we don’t.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Then do you have a reason for being here?”
Jia Wu looked at Ye Xuan. “I’m here to kill you!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “It seems we have no grudges.”
Jia Wu replied, “If I kill you, the Master of the Great Dao Pen will die too, right?”
Ye Xuan froze.
Jia Wu continued, “At first, I thought Boundless Lord was setting me up, but now it seems I misjudged him! You’re so weak, you pose no threat to me!”
Boundless Lord!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly. “Was it Boundless Lord who told you to kill me?”
Jia Wu said calmly, “He just said that killing you would also kill the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Why don’t you go kill the Master of the Great Dao Pen directly? I know where he is. He’s in the Milky Way…”
Jia Wu shook his head. “I can’t beat him!”
Ye Xuan looked at Jia Wu. “So you came to fight me?”
Jia Wu nodded.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I won’t fight you!”
With that, he pointed to Qingqiu beside him. “This is my sister. Fight her first. If you beat her, then I’ll fight you!”
Jia Wu turned to look at Qingqiu. Upon seeing her, his brows furrowed. “You… don’t seem weak!”
Qingqiu smiled faintly. “How do you want to fight?”
Jia Wu chuckled lightly. “Have you ever heard of the legendary ancient cultivators?”
Qingqiu shook her head.
Jia Wu sneered, “Of course, someone of your level could never have access to our circle!”
Qingqiu smiled, casually swinging her sword.
As the sword struck, Jia Wu’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with shock and terror. He quickly raised his hands in a defensive stance!
Boom!
A terrifying force suddenly erupted from Jia Wu’s body!
But it was useless!
Swish!
A sword pierced straight through Jia Wu’s forehead!
Jia Wu was pinned in place!
Qingqiu glanced at Jia Wu. “Ancient cultivator? This weak?”
Jia Wu stared at Qingqiu in horror. “You… how are you so strong?”
Qingqiu laughed. “Maybe you’re just too weak!”
Jia Wu: “…”
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “You can’t even beat my sister, yet you want to fight me… You’re a bit overconfident!”
Jia Wu turned to Ye Xuan. “You… you’re strong too?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “My sister is this strong! What do you think of me, her brother… heh heh…”
Jia Wu: “…”
Ye Xuan added, “You can go!”
Jia Wu was stunned. “You’re letting me go?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes, go!”
Jia Wu hesitated, then turned to look at Qingqiu. She smiled, lightly waving her right hand, and the Qingxuan Sword flew back to her.
Jia Wu said gravely, “Boundless Lord tricked me!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “One question. What are ancient cultivators?”
Jia Wu thought for a moment, then said, “Cultivators from the ancient era of the Divine Wilderness!”
“The Divine Wilderness!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Where is the Divine Wilderness?”
Jia Wu glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Very, very far from here!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Go!”
Jia Wu asked, “Really?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Would I gain anything by deceiving you?”
Without hesitation, Jia Wu turned and vanished at the edge of the starry sky.
Ye Xuan gazed at the distant starry horizon, silent.
The Divine Wilderness!
Clearly, it might be a universe stronger than the Dimensional Universe!
Sigh!
Ye Xuan let out a soft sigh. He hadn’t even dominated the Dimensional Universe, and now this Divine Wilderness appeared!
At this moment, Qingqiu suddenly said, “Brother, you cultivate first! I’m going to look around!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
Qingqiu smiled faintly, then turned and left.
In place, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, continuing his cultivation!
…
The Divine Wilderness.
Jia Wu’s soul returned to his body, his face extremely grim!
He had been tricked!
This time, he had nearly been killed by Boundless Lord’s scheme!
Damn it!
Jia Wu turned and shouted, “Boundless Lord, you shameless…”
His voice, amplified by mysterious energy, echoed throughout the Divine Wilderness!
At the distant horizon, Boundless Lord suddenly stopped. He turned and glanced back, chuckling, “He didn’t kill him… This Backer King is interesting!”
With that, he turned to look at a massive altar nearby.
On the altar lay a woman quietly.
She wore a long red dress, vibrant as blood.
Boundless Lord walked to the altar, looking at the woman before him, and said softly, “Nan Qing!”
Monk Wu looked at Boundless Lord. “Nan Qing?”
Boundless Lord nodded. “Once an astonishingly powerful figure. The Ancient Heavenly Emperor was killed here when he came!”
Monk Wu was stunned. “By this woman?”
Boundless Lord nodded. “She awakens once every ten thousand years. When the Ancient Heavenly Emperor arrived, it was just her awakening time, so he was taken down!”
He shook his head slightly. “Such bad luck!”
Monk Wu glanced at Nan Qing, then said, “Very strong!”
Very strong!
Hearing this, Monk Wu’s expression grew serious!
Having spent time with Boundless Lord, he had come to understand his personality. Generally, Boundless Lord viewed most people as average, including the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, whom he only rated as decent!
Yet now, Boundless Lord called Nan Qing very strong!
The Divine Being suddenly asked, “Can you beat her?”
Monk Wu also quickly looked at Boundless Lord, curious to know!
Boundless Lord gave a faint smile, saying nothing, and walked into the distance!
Monk Wu and the Divine Being exchanged glances, puzzled. At that moment, Boundless Lord added, “Do you know why I know she awakens every ten thousand years?”
They shook their heads.
Boundless Lord said calmly, “Because I was there when she last awoke! And I’m still alive. Understand?”
Both: “…”
Boundless Lord continued walking. “I’m not boasting, but no one who can kill me has appeared yet…”
He hesitated, then added, “Forget it! Let’s stay humble! Humble!”
Both were speechless.
Boundless Lord continued, “The Ancient Saint Kings have probably obtained those inheritances by now! Sigh, if they could be humbler, they might live longer. Otherwise…”
He shook his head, falling silent.
…
Elsewhere, in a dilapidated hall, the Ancient Saint Kings were laughing maniacally.
They had obtained the inheritance of an ancient sect…
A new door had opened for them!
At their level, advancing even one step further was extremely difficult!
Dimensional Realm!
They had reached the tenth level of the Dimensional Realm. The Dimensional Universe had already limited their growth, which was why they eagerly awaited the Divine Wilderness!
Now, they had hope of surpassing the Dimensional Realm, reaching an even higher level!
In the dilapidated hall, the Saint Kings laughed wildly!
Even the composed Ancient Saint King joined in!
…
Dimensional Universe.
Ye Xuan was still cultivating frantically, with more and more dimensional power entering his body. As this power flowed in, his aura began to surge wildly!
During this time, the Dimensional Universe had been eerily calm, with all dimensional powerhouses seemingly vanished!
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xuan, deep in cultivation, slowly opened his eyes.
Boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
Dimensional Realm!
Ye Xuan greedily took a deep breath, feeling utterly relaxed.
He had now reached the Dimensional Realm!
His entire body felt brimming with power. His strength had increased at least several times compared to before!
Ye Xuan collected his thoughts, looked at Qingqiu, and smiled. “Little sister, let’s go!”
Qingqiu nodded.
After the siblings left the Ninth Dimensional Universe and returned to the Guanxuan Academy, Shi Li arrived.
Shi Li looked at Ye Xuan. “Chu Tian and Ye Chen have gone to the Dimensional Universe. They’re going to retrieve their master’s and ancestor’s bodies!”
To the Dimensional Universe!
Ye Xuan was stunned, then said, “They’re going now?”
Shi Li nodded. “Are you going?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “My dad’s not dead yet…”
The man in the green robe: “???”
Shi Li shook his head with a smile. “You’re not interested in the Dimensional Universe, but you could go take a look.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright!”
Shi Li immediately said, “Take me with you!”
Ye Xuan was taken aback.
Shi Li blinked. “Is there a problem?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “No problem!”
Shi Li’s lips curved slightly. “Let’s go! Use your academy’s teleportation array!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Inside the teleportation array passage, Shi Li suddenly asked, “Young Master Ye, is that Qin Guan girl someone you like?”
Ye Xuan was slightly startled, then smiled. “Why the sudden question?”
Shi Li glanced at Ye Xuan. “Just curious!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Qin Guan and I share similar interests!”
Similar interests!
Shi Li’s brows furrowed slightly.
…
Elsewhere, Chu Tian and Ye Chen walked slowly.
Their goal was the entrance to the Ninth Dimensional Universe!
Before they left, the Ye Clan had held a grand send-off for them!
Ye Chen and Chu Tian were the hopes of the Ye Clan. Whether the clan could rise again depended on them!
But upon arriving in the Dimensional Universe, they were somewhat bewildered!
Along the way, no dimensional powerhouses stopped them!
Their journey was smooth!
So smooth it felt unnatural!
Before long, they reached the entrance to the Ninth Dimensional Universe unimpeded!
And now, just ahead was the Land of Glory!
On the way, Chu Tian suddenly said, “This smoothness feels abnormal!”
Ye Chen glanced around, nodding. “Indeed!”
At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared in the distance!
The two stopped.
Chu Tian glanced at the figure and said, “Do you mind if the two of us take you on?”
Ye Chen turned to Chu Tian, stunned.
