Upon hearing Seng Wu’s words, Wubian Zhu fell into silence.
Surrender?
He would never do such a thing!
Starving to death was a small matter; losing integrity was a great one!
After a moment’s silence, Wubian Zhu asked earnestly, “Monk, why do you think the Master of the Great Dao Pen is just so-so?”
Seng Wu pressed his palms together and said seriously, “The plain-skirted woman!”
At this, Wubian Zhu shook his head. “I’m convinced!”
He was truly convinced!
This monk always compared others to the plain-skirted woman!
Compared to her, indeed, everyone was just so-so!
Wubian shook his head and turned to leave.
Since he knew the Master of the Great Dao Pen was scheming against him, he had to find a way to resist!
Accept his fate?
Never!
Meekly accepting his fate was something he couldn’t do!
Seeing Wubian Zhu leave, Seng Wu sighed softly, his expression grave. “What is the Master of the Great Dao Pen arranging for us to do?”
Shenming glanced at Seng Wu. “Monk, they’re arranging for Wubian, not us. Get it straight!”
Seng Wu frowned slightly. “Why belittle yourself?”
Shenming’s expression froze. “…”
…
After Ye Xuan and Qin Guan returned to the Dao Sect, Qin Guan left with the ten billion dimensional holy crystals. With this sum, she could accomplish many things!
She set to work with bold ambition!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan began cultivating upon returning to the Dao Sect.
He was now in the Dimensional Realm, aiming to reach the Outer Dao Realm!
With the full support of the Dao Sect, his cultivation speed was rapid. The sect spared no effort!
All the best resources were devoted to Ye Xuan!
With the Dao Sect’s full backing, his progress was astonishingly swift!
…
In the Other Ghost Realm.
After the matter concluded, Tiandao didn’t return but went straight to the Other Ghost Realm.
Other Ghost City.
As Tiandao arrived, an elder appeared before him. It was Yitian, the leader of the Other Ghost Clan!
Yitian looked at Tiandao. “What wind has blown Lord Tiandao here today?”
Tiandao shook his head. “Yitian, let’s not waste words! I killed your daughter!”
Yitian said, “Reason!”
Tiandao replied calmly, “If I hadn’t killed her, your Other Ghost Realm would already be gone!”
Yitian gave a faint smile, saying nothing.
Seeing this, Tiandao frowned. “What, you don’t believe me?”
Yitian smiled. “Tiandao, tell me honestly, is it because your master saw our Other Ghost Clan rising and wanted to suppress us?”
Tiandao looked at Yitian. “You think I’m lying to you?”
Yitian said calmly, “I’m quite curious. If I hadn’t killed my daughter, how would my Other Ghost Clan be gone?”
Tiandao said gravely, “Do you know who you provoked?”
Yitian glanced at Tiandao. “No idea!”
Tiandao glared at Yitian. “Yitian, I know your Other Ghost Clan’s ancestor has reached the Current Dao, but let me tell you, even if he reached the Unknown Realm, in front of that woman, he’d be an ant! No, not even an ant!”
Yitian’s expression remained calm. “So, you killed my daughter, and I should thank you?”
Tiandao looked at Yitian for a moment, then nodded. “I understand your meaning! Since that’s the case, words are useless!”
With that, he turned and left.
He knew the Other Ghost Clan didn’t believe him!
Of course, he understood. Those who hadn’t faced the plain-skirted woman wouldn’t know how terrifying she was!
She was an invincible woman!
As for the Other Ghost Clan, as long as they didn’t trouble Ye Xuan, the matter could pass!
But if they dared to cause trouble for Ye Xuan, he was ready to tear off all pretenses!
Seeing Tiandao leave, Yitian narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, an elder appeared beside Yitian and said gravely, “This Master of the Great Dao Pen is likely planning to move against us!”
Yitian’s expression was blank. “He won’t get the chance!”
With that, he turned and left.
…
Dao Sect.
Ye Xuan, meditating in the small pagoda, suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he did, a terrifying aura surged from his body!
Outer Dao Realm!
With the help of the Dao Sect and the small pagoda, he had spent ten full years finally reaching the Outer Dao Realm!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. With a gentle swing, a terrifying force erupted from the sword!
Seeing this, a slight smile curved Ye Xuan’s lips!
Outer Dao Realm!
In this new world, he was no longer a weakling!
Yet at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of boredom!
No enemies!
As he grew stronger, he looked around and found no formidable foes!
The Dimensional Universe Holy King Hall had been obliterated by Qing’er with a single sword!
And the New Dao Sect had been thoroughly subdued…
Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed.
In the future, he’d have to solve his troubles himself!
Otherwise, life would be too dull!
Unless he truly couldn’t win!
At that moment, Qin Guan appeared before Ye Xuan. She sized him up and smiled. “Outer Dao Realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Qin Guan gave a thumbs-up. “Impressive!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “How are the academy and the Immortal Treasure Pavilion doing?”
Qin Guan nodded. “With the help of the Dao Sect and the New Dao Sect, everything’s going smoothly!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “New Dao Sect?”
Qin Guan nodded. “Yes! After the last incident, they wanted to mend ties with us, so they’ve been helping us a lot recently!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Got it!”
Qin Guan continued, “I’m planning to open a bank…”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then said, “A bank?”
Qin Guan nodded. “Yes! A place specifically for storing money!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Will people trust us to store their money?”
Qin Guan’s lips curved slightly. “They will! Because saving money earns interest!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “What do we do with the money people deposit? Spend it?”
Qin Guan laughed. “Silly! We can lend it to those who need it, and they’ll pay us interest.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Take money in with the left hand, lend it out with the right?”
Qin Guan nodded. “Yes! Use other people’s money to make money!”
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs-up. “Brilliant!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Starting a bank isn’t easy, as many won’t trust us. But in the Guanxuan Universe, this won’t be an issue. The Immortal Treasure Pavilion and Guanxuan Academy have excellent reputations there, so I’m planning to go back, set things up there, and then return here!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You’re going back to the Guanxuan Universe?”
Qin Guan nodded. “I’ve already started preparations here, so I’m not needed for now! Once I return, I’ll consolidate the messy departments under my control. After that, I’ll bring some people here and develop things on a large scale!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Good!”
Qin Guan handed him a storage ring. “Here’s one hundred million dimensional holy crystals. Use them! If you need more, go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. They’ll treat you as they would me. Whatever you need, if they have it, they’ll give it to you!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright!”
Qin Guan nodded, then said, “I’ll head off then!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Okay!”
Qin Guan glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. “You’ll have to send me off!”
Ye Xuan immediately activated the Qingxuan Sword, taking Qin Guan with him as they vanished from the scene!
This time, it was slower. About an hour later, Ye Xuan finally escorted Qin Guan from the new world back to the Guanxuan Universe!
After some small talk, Qin Guan left to get busy!
Ye Xuan didn’t return to the new world immediately. Instead, he went to the academy. In a courtyard, Qingqiu, who was reading, suddenly opened her eyes. She turned to see Ye Xuan approaching and smiled faintly. “Brother!”
Ye Xuan walked up to Qingqiu and smiled. “Been busy lately?”
Qingqiu nodded. “Busy! Very busy!”
She sized up Ye Xuan and said, “Outer Dao Realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Qingqiu smiled. “Looks like she thinks I’m a bit slow!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I feel Qing’er’s a bit impatient!”
He could sense that the plain-skirted Qing’er wanted him to grow stronger, and she seemed somewhat urgent!
Qingqiu was silent for a moment, then said, “She might have sensed something! That’s why she’s so eager for you to get stronger!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Little sister, do you know what she sensed?”
Qingqiu shook her head. “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
At that moment, Qingqiu smiled. “Don’t worry about it. If the sky falls, she and I will hold it up!”
Ye Xuan laughed softly. “Alright!”
After chatting with Qingqiu for a bit, Ye Xuan returned to the Dao Sect.
On his way back, the spatial tunnel he was in suddenly cracked open, and a shadow darted toward him!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He drew his sword and slashed fiercely.
Boom!
The slash shattered the spatial tunnel, and Ye Xuan plummeted into a chaotic spatial flow!
The turbulent flow frantically devoured his body!
Ye Xuan’s heart jolted. He quickly summoned the Qingxuan Sword to escape, but at that moment, an invisible hand pressed down toward his head!
Ye Xuan looked up and slashed out with his sword!
Great Reincarnation Sword Dao!
With this strike, countless reincarnation forces surged from his sword!
Boom!
The invisible giant hand was forced back by the slash!
“Huh?”
A surprised voice echoed in the scene. The next moment, a black light surged down, engulfing Ye Xuan in an instant.
…
New World.
In a certain void, Tiandao, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. His face changed drastically. “Damn! Damn… Young Master Ye…”
With that, he stood, tore through space, and vanished. But when he reached the spatial tunnel where Ye Xuan had been, it was empty!
Seeing this, Tiandao’s face turned pale. He slumped to the ground, trembling. “Am I done for?”
