Follow Young Master Ye!
The Heavenly Dao hesitated, then said, “Great Path Pen, is he really the Orderer chosen by the Master?”
Honestly, he was starting to have doubts.
The main reason was that he hadn’t received any confirmation.
He had asked around in the Heavenly Dao circle, and none of the others had heard of this either.
Could the Great Path Pen be lying?
He had considered it, but he felt the Great Path Pen wouldn’t dare to lie.
That would be a crime worthy of execution.
Hearing the Heavenly Dao’s words, the Great Path Pen smiled. “Without the Master’s approval, how could I possibly leave the Milky Way?”
The Heavenly Dao thought for a moment, then nodded. “Fair point.”
The Great Path Pen continued, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You’d better seize it.”
The Heavenly Dao hesitated again, then said, “I’ll think it over.”
The Great Path Pen nodded slightly. “Alright.”
The Heavenly Dao looked down at Ye Xuan, lost in thought.
Time passed bit by bit.
By now, Ye Xuan had consumed three Heavenly Dao Pills.
With the pills and the Heavenly Dao’s assistance, his physical body was becoming increasingly formidable.
Countless tiny golden runes had appeared across Ye Xuan’s body, each containing terrifying power.
About a month later, Ye Xuan, sitting cross-legged in the starry sky, suddenly opened his eyes.
Boom. Boom.
Two beams of purple light burst from his eyes, instantly reducing the space before him to ashes.
The golden runes on his body had turned deep purple.
The Great Path Pen appeared before him. “Success?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, clenching his right fist.
Boom.
The space around him turned illusory with that single grip.
Pure physical strength.
Looking at his fist, a smile spread across Ye Xuan’s face.
It was too terrifying.
He felt an endless surge of power within his body.
The Great Path Pen smiled. “Next, let’s aim for the Heavenly Dao Realm.”
Heavenly Dao Realm.
Ye Xuan looked at the Heavenly Dao. “Thanks for the help.”
The Heavenly Dao hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, you’re too polite.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and began his push toward the Heavenly Dao Realm.
For others, reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm was incredibly difficult, as it required passing the Heavenly Dao’s test. But for Ye Xuan, it wasn’t so hard.
The Heavenly Dao fully cooperated with his cultivation.
…
Milky Way Realm.
At this moment, the mentors and elders of the Milky Way Academy had gathered in a grand hall. Ye Xuan’s mentor, Fei Yu, was among them.
The vice-dean, leading the meeting, glanced at everyone and said, “What are your thoughts on Ye Xuan?”
Before each person was a dossier.
Clearly, they all knew Ye Xuan’s background.
He came from the Mortal Realm, where he had destroyed the Milky Way Alliance.
Evidently, his purpose at the Milky Way Academy wasn’t pure.
Though the academy and the alliance had little connection anymore, having not been in contact for a long time, they couldn’t entirely sever ties.
After all, Gu Baiyue had come from the Milky Way Alliance.
Fei Yu suddenly spoke up. “He hasn’t targeted our Milky Way Academy.”
All eyes turned to her.
She continued, “On the contrary, he’s helped our students. Without him, they’d likely have been slaughtered by now.”
The room fell silent.
Fei Yu pressed on. “Besides, if he truly meant to harm us, let’s be honest: aside from the dean, who among us could stop him?”
The elders’ faces turned bitter.
They had received reports that Ye Xuan could now instantly kill ancient giants.
Instantly.
Fei Yu continued, “I think our best move is to build a good relationship with him, to foster goodwill.”
The vice-dean nodded slightly. “Let Mentor Fei Yu handle this.”
He paused, then added, “From today, Mentor Fei Yu is promoted to elder and joins the Elder Council. Any objections?”
No one in the hall objected.
The vice-dean nodded. “Fei Yu, you’re now fully responsible for matters concerning Ye Xuan.”
Fei Yu nodded. “Understood.”
The vice-dean said, “Meeting adjourned.”
The group dispersed.
After leaving the hall, Fei Yu looked toward the distant horizon. After a long moment, a charming smile curved her lips.
…
Elsewhere.
In a certain void, an elder gazed at the Chaotic Lands.
This was Han Qian, the Great Elder of the Han Clan.
After Ye Xuan killed a member of the Han Clan and issued threats, the clan naturally wouldn’t let it slide.
But upon arriving at the Chaotic Lands, Han Qian was shocked to find that several major forces there had submitted to the youth named Ye Xuan.
This wasn’t simple.
So, Han Qian didn’t immediately seek trouble with Ye Xuan.
He decided to investigate thoroughly before deciding on revenge.
…
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. He spread his palm, and a bolt of divine lightning appeared.
Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning.
Heavenly Dao Realm.
The Great Path Pen appeared before him, smiling. “Congratulations.”
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. He truly felt invincible at this moment.
Heavenly Dao Realm.
Heavenly Dao Body.
Especially this Heavenly Dao Body. He was absolutely unmatched among his peers.
As a thought struck him, Ye Xuan looked at the Heavenly Dao and smiled. “Thank you.”
Without the Heavenly Dao’s help, reaching the Heavenly Dao Body and Realm would have taken him at least two hundred years.
The Heavenly Dao smiled. “Young Master Ye, you’re too kind. We’re on the same side. No need for formalities.”
On the same side.
Ye Xuan blinked, then laughed. “I’ll remember Brother Heavenly Dao’s help today.”
The Heavenly Dao smiled. “No need for that. By the way, my surname is Zhao, so my peers call me Zhao Heavenly Dao.”
Zhao Heavenly Dao.
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “Brother Zhao, who’s stronger: you Heavenly Daos or those Laws?”
The Heavenly Dao laughed heartily. “Naturally, we Heavenly Daos are stronger. Above the Laws is the Dao, which includes us. Of course, the Law God of the Law Realm is an exceptionally powerful figure.”
Law God.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Stronger than you Heavenly Daos?”
Zhao Heavenly Dao hesitated, then said, “I don’t know exactly how strong, but that Law God is indeed remarkable. Even our Dao Master gives her some respect.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I see.”
Zhao Heavenly Dao smiled. “Young Master Ye, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Duty calls, and I’m a bit busy.”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Alright, Brother Zhao. Until we meet again.”
Zhao Heavenly Dao nodded and vanished into the starry sky.
After he left, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Little Pen, what kind of being is this Law God?”
Know your enemy to win every battle.
He needed to understand the Law Realm, especially since they might come after him again.
The Great Path Pen said casually, “Relax, don’t overthink it. That Law God can’t beat your sister.”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “What kind of talk is that? I can’t always rely on being a second-generation, can I?”
The Great Path Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “When facing the Law God of the Law Realm, you’d better stick to being a second-generation.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “What do you mean?”
The Great Path Pen said gravely, “She’s a legend among the Laws, an extremely terrifying existence. She was once the Master’s right-hand aide. I don’t know how strong she is exactly, but she’s incredibly formidable.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The Great Path Pen continued, “If you encounter her, be cautious. But don’t be too afraid. She definitely can’t beat your sister. I’d bet my life on it.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Your Master can’t even beat my sister, so how could her subordinate?
Bet your life…
Why was this Little Pen getting so flamboyant?
The Great Path Pen added, “I think the Law Realm will come for you soon.”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Why?”
The Great Path Pen said solemnly, “The Law Realm represents the power of the Laws. In the mortal world, they’re like the imperial authorities. You openly killed a Law and took a Law Seal. They won’t tolerate that.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “They know I’m a Backed King. Don’t they know I have a backer?”
The Great Path Pen replied, “They know you have a backer, but they don’t know how strong your backer is.”
Ye Xuan looked at the Great Path Pen. “They don’t know how strong my backer is?”
The Great Path Pen nodded. “Yes. Because those who knew are mostly dead.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Your Master is still alive.”
The Great Path Pen fell silent.
Ye Xuan blinked. “Your Master didn’t tell his subordinates about Qing’er?”
The Great Path Pen nodded. “If it were you, would you?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
This was tricky.
The Master’s side had only the strongest one who knew how terrifying Qing’er was, but others didn’t.
Ye Xuan suddenly felt a headache.
The Great Path Pen continued, “Our line of work is deep and murky. When I was with the Master, I didn’t know much. But later, I realised our circle is full of interests. Especially when the Master withdrew from the scene, things got chaotic. Some started openly doing illicit things. Some places are rotten to the core. Take the Chaotic Lands. The Master’s rule was for peace, no chaos. But that Law only cared about the place not being destroyed. As for the lives of the beings there, he didn’t care at all. There are many cases like this.”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “So he wants me to change it?”
The Great Path Pen hesitated, then said, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Little Pen, tell me the truth. Is this really your Master’s will?”
The Great Path Pen laughed. “I think you don’t need to care whether it’s his will. You’d do it anyway, wouldn’t you?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
The Great Path Pen continued, “Change the order, change everything. I support you.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the Great Path Pen. “Have you betrayed your Master?”
The Great Path Pen quickly said, “How could I?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Just kidding. Why so nervous?”
The Great Path Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “I know a lot. Sticking with you will be very helpful.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “And what do you want in return?”
The Great Path Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t want anything. I just naturally love helping others.”
Ye Xuan laughed. “I’ll believe you for now.”
He blinked. “Did your Master leave any treasures somewhere?”
The Great Path Pen said, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Let’s team up, go big, and achieve greatness together.”
The Great Path Pen: “…”
