Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
Throughout his journey, he had lived too suppressed!
His enemies were always far stronger than him!
In such situations, he could only take the blows passively!
But now, he no longer had to endure that frustration!
What was wrong with showing off a bit?
If he didn’t show off now, he might not even get the chance later!
The Small Pagoda suddenly said, “Indeed, life was quite miserable before! Sigh…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Things will get better from now on!”
The Small Pagoda said, “I hope so!”
It was tired of living as Ye Xuan’s subordinate!
At that moment, a black-robed old man suddenly appeared nearby, looking at Ye Xuan. “Young Master, my lady requests your presence!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Your lady?”
The black-robed old man nodded slightly. “Yes!”
He gestured invitingly.
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man. This old man was actually an Ancient Titan!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I have things to do, so I won’t go!”
With that, he took Xing Ling and turned to walk away!
The black-robed old man frowned slightly, his right hand slowly clenching. But at that moment, Ye Xuan turned and looked at him. “If you make a move, trust me, it will be your last. I’m not showing off; I’m stating a fact!”
With that, he led Xing Ling into the distance.
The black-robed old man stood there, his face dark.
But in the end, he didn’t act!
Moments later, he turned and left!
In the distance, Xing Ling, beside Ye Xuan, suddenly smiled. “Why didn’t you go?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Why should I?”
Xing Ling glanced at Ye Xuan and sighed inwardly!
This man might seem easygoing, but deep down, he was incredibly proud!
Soon, Ye Xuan and Xing Ling arrived at a plaza where some Galaxy Academy students were already gathered!
Additionally, the Ancient Titan Elder was there, serving as the examiner!
The Elder was sitting cross-legged beneath a stone step. Upon seeing Ye Xuan and Xing Ling, he opened his eyes and nodded slightly at them in greeting!
Ye Xuan and Xing Ling approached the Elder. Xing Ling gave a slight bow. “Elder Yu!”
Elder Yu nodded slightly. “You’ve worked hard! Rest for now!”
Xing Ling nodded, then sat cross-legged beside Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, I’m going to cultivate!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright!”
Xing Ling smiled faintly, then slowly closed her eyes!
Ye Xuan didn’t choose to cultivate but decided to explore the City of Chaos!
He was waiting for Dan Chen’s pills. Only with them could he continue cultivating.
Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Elder Yu frowned slightly but didn’t stop him!
The Galaxy Academy’s stance on Ye Xuan was uncertain. They knew his background was extraordinary, to say the least.
Their concern was that Ye Xuan’s intentions at the academy might not be pure. Beyond that, they had no other issues with him! In fact, many instructors suggested building good relations with Ye Xuan, though some opposed it! In short, the academy had two attitudes toward Ye Xuan: one to win him over, the other to remain cautious!
A trace of worry flashed in Elder Yu’s eyes!
He realised he couldn’t see through Ye Xuan at all!
He had tried scanning Ye Xuan with his divine sense earlier, but the moment his sense touched Ye Xuan, it vanished without a trace!
There were two possibilities: first, Ye Xuan possessed a supreme divine artifact that blocked his sense; second, Ye Xuan’s strength…
At that thought, Elder Yu slowly closed his eyes, not daring to think further!
…
Ye Xuan walked onto the street, which remained desolate, with divine senses occasionally sweeping by!
Ye Xuan strolled slowly.
Suddenly, light rain began to fall, but as the rain approached him, it was repelled by a mysterious force!
Ye Xuan looked at the empty street ahead, his heart suddenly feeling empty too!
He was now tasting the feeling of invincibility!
At least for now, no one was his match.
Yet, he found a sense of loneliness deep within!
Because those close to him were not here!
An Lanxiu wasn’t here!
Tian Xiu wasn’t here!
Ye Ling wasn’t here!
Mo Yunqi wasn’t here!
Xiao Jiu wasn’t here!
Tuo Bayan wasn’t here!
Nian Jie wasn’t here!
And Little Linger…
Thinking of these people, a wave of loneliness surged in Ye Xuan’s heart like a tide!
Throughout his journey, Ye Xuan had moved quickly, so quickly that many couldn’t keep up with his pace. And as they fell behind, he left them far behind!
Helplessness!
A trace of complexity flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes!
He now understood that saying: the path of the Dao is lonely!
He could also begin to feel his elder brother’s loneliness!
His brother had walked this path, likely alone by now, and so invincible that ordinary people couldn’t comprehend that kind of loneliness!
And now, Ye Xuan was starting to feel it too!
Even more, he now felt a trace of fear in his heart!
If one day he went far, very far, perhaps to the end of the martial path, and then looked back to find that his old friends and loved ones were no longer there…
At that thought, a sudden sense of panic emerged deep within!
Ye Xuan stopped, his brows deeply furrowed, his right hand trembling slightly!
He suddenly realised that even if he became invincible one day, but those around him were gone, what would be the point?
Invincibility?
Ye Xuan looked at the empty street ahead. If those around him were gone, what use was invincibility?
The human world!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. Compared to the cold heavens above, he preferred the lively human world!
At that thought, a smile spread across Ye Xuan’s lips!
In that moment, he had an epiphany!
What he wanted was the human world, not the cold heavens.
Invincibility?
Let it come naturally!
If he could become invincible in the future, that would be great. If not, what did it matter?
After all, the three invincible people were his allies!
Ye Xuan suddenly shook his head with a smile. He opened his palm, and the Human World Sword Intent surged from it, beginning to transform!
For sword cultivators, cultivation is of the heart!
When the heart breaks through, the sword can break through!
Every thought is cultivation!
This was akin to an epiphany for other cultivators.
Life is often like this: if you can have a moment of clarity, you may soar; if not, a lifetime of effort might yield nothing!
Soon, the sword intent coalesced into a sword!
A brand-new intent sword!
One side of the sword bore mountains and rivers; the other, all living beings.
Looking at the intent sword in his hand, Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “From today, you shall be called the Human World Sword!”
The Human World Sword!
Ye Xuan didn’t know that the name he chose today would one day resound far and wide.
The Master of the Human World Sword, Ye Xuan!
Of course, he wouldn’t get to show off this time!
But he didn’t know that someone would show off for him!
After the Human World Sword Intent broke through, Ye Xuan’s strength naturally increased significantly, especially this power of the human world, which felt distinctly different from before!
At that moment, a voice came from the side. “Your sword intent is quite impressive!”
Ye Xuan turned to look. Nearby stood a woman in a tight black dress, her figure tall and curvaceous, accentuated by the snug dress, especially her long, sensual legs, striking and captivating.
Her long hair was tied with a ribbon, fanning out naturally yet not messily. Two strands of fringe framed her face, and she chewed on a blade of grass, looking exceptionally cool!
The woman suddenly leaned against the wall behind her, holding a long blade, and looked at Ye Xuan. “You’re in the Great Achievement Dao-Knowing Realm!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “What’s your name?”
The woman grinned. “The weak don’t deserve to know my name!”
With that, she suddenly drew her blade and slashed!
Swoosh!
A blade qi slashed horizontally!
This strike was bold and unrestrained, as if it could cleave the heavens and earth, utterly domineering!
At that moment, Ye Xuan flicked his sleeve.
Boom!
The blade qi vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed!
Ye Xuan froze!
He had only released a sliver of Human World Sword Intent, yet he hadn’t expected it to shatter the woman’s blade qi so easily!
Looking at the Human World Sword in his hand, Ye Xuan’s expression grew solemn. He realised he might have underestimated this sword intent!
In the distance, after her blade qi shattered, the woman’s eyes narrowed. “You’re indeed in the Dao-Knowing Realm! And Great Achievement at that!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then turned to leave!
The woman suddenly said, “Don’t you want to know my name?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Not interested anymore!”
Instead of getting angry, the woman’s lips curved slightly. “You’ve got character!”
She spat out the grass and walked to Ye Xuan’s side. “Let’s get acquainted. I’m Kong Nian!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Don’t know you!”
The woman suddenly stepped in front of Ye Xuan, staring at him. “You don’t know me?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Are you famous?”
The woman said seriously, “I’m not famous, but don’t tell me you haven’t heard of the Kong Clan!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I really haven’t!”
The woman blinked. “Truly?”
Ye Xuan looked at Kong Nian. “Truly!”
Kong Nian laughed. “How interesting… Of course, I’m not mocking you. Your background must be extraordinary. You’re not ordinary, so I thought you’d have heard of the Kong Clan…”
Ye Xuan didn’t respond and walked off into the distance!
Kong Nian smiled. “Want to get acquainted?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Miss, when I, Ye Xuan, make friends, I only care about character, not family background. Because no matter how powerful a family is, it can’t surpass mine…”
He paused, then added, “This might sound like showing off, but in the second-generation circle… I, Ye Xuan, have no rivals! Thank you!”
