“Add money!”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Gu smiled faintly. “Sure!”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu. “How much?”
Gu stared at Ye Xuan. “Enough to satisfy you!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said: “Let’s go!”
With that, he led Gu toward the distant ruins!
On the way, Ye Xuan asked: “Did you fight the Master of the Great Dao Pen back then?”
Gu nodded.
Ye Xuan said: “Did the Master of the Great Dao Pen destroy your era?”
Gu smiled. “Sort of!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Gu but said no more.
Soon, the two entered the ruins. Gu looked at the ruins before her, her expression calm as still water.
Ye Xuan glanced at the surrounding structures, built from special materials that could withstand the erosion of time!
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan turned to Gu. “Is there anything dangerous here?”
Gu was about to speak when the ground in the distance suddenly began to writhe!
Ye Xuan looked at the moving ground, his expression wary!
Soon, a decayed old man slowly crawled up from the ground.
Ye Xuan looked at Gu, who shrugged. “Don’t know him!”
Ye Xuan was speechless!
At that moment, the decayed old man’s gaze suddenly landed on Ye Xuan. He just stared, saying nothing!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said: “How should I address you?”
The decayed old man suddenly reached forward!
Rip!
In an instant, the space before Ye Xuan split open, and a giant illusory hand grabbed toward him!
Seeing the old man attack directly, Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly. Without any nonsense, he rushed forward and slashed with his sword!
Rip!
The illusory giant hand was shattered!
The sword drove straight in, slashing toward the decayed old man!
Seeing the sword coming, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man’s eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched forward!
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted, and the decayed old man was forced back thousands of feet. As soon as he stopped, another sword slashed at him!
Faster than the last!
The surprise in the old man’s eyes turned to solemnity. He opened his right hand, blocking horizontally, and countless black lights surged out!
Boom!
The black light exploded, and the decayed old man was forced back repeatedly!
The old man hurriedly said: “Wait…”
But at that moment, Ye Xuan had already slashed again!
Rip!
The decayed old man was split in half by the sword!
His soul was completely destroyed!
Ye Xuan’s face was expressionless as he sheathed his sword. He turned to Gu. “Let’s go!”
Gu glanced at Ye Xuan, nodded, and the two continued forward!
Soon, they reached the depths of the ruins. Here, Ye Xuan noticed corpses scattered everywhere!
Gu glanced at the corpses, saying nothing!
At that moment, a shadowy figure slowly rose from the ruins in the distance!
The figure rasped: “Trespassers, die!”
Ye Xuan suddenly vanished from his spot!
A blood-red sword light tore through!
Rip!
In the distance, the shadowy figure was torn apart by the sword light!
Ye Xuan sheathed his sword, his blood pulsing. He coldly scanned the surroundings. “Anyone else?”
Reason?
Morality?
Winning people over with virtue?
No!
In a place like this, those things were useless!
Here, only strength could earn respect from these beings!
After killing two in a row, the hidden auras around began to slowly retreat!
Ye Xuan’s face remained expressionless as he led Gu further into the distance!
At this moment, Gu suddenly said: “This place was once a battlefield!”
Ye Xuan didn’t respond.
Gu glanced at him, then said: “You seem a bit angry!”
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly. “Let’s find your physical body directly! Once you recover it, you’ll regain all your strength!”
Gu nodded. “Good!”
The two continued forward!
Soon, they passed through the ruins, and beyond was an enormous palace.
To Ye Xuan’s surprise, the palace was completely intact!
Ye Xuan looked at Gu, who smiled. “This is the Ancient Martial Hall! Back in the ancient era, it was a very powerful sect.”
Ye Xuan said: “Shall we take a look?”
Gu nodded. “Sure!”
Ye Xuan and Gu approached the hall. In front of it stood a massive statue of a middle-aged man, hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky, exuding an air of dominance!
Gu glanced at the statue and smiled. “Wu Kong! The ancestor of the Ancient Martial Hall!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and walked toward the hall!
Gu looked at the statue, smiled, and followed!
Soon, the two entered the hall.
Inside, it was completely empty!
Ye Xuan was a bit disappointed!
At that moment, Gu suddenly smiled. “You were hoping to find some treasures?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Gu shook her head. “There aren’t any! After that war, the Ancient Heavenly Domain was basically looted clean!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Looted?”
Gu nodded. “By those Law Heavenly Daos of the Dao Sect!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Gu smiled. “Hard to believe?”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “I’ve met the Master of the Great Dao Pen. He doesn’t seem like a greedy, selfish person…”
Gu smiled lightly. “Though we were enemies, I must admit, he isn’t that kind of person! But what about those under him?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu turned and pointed into the distance. “That pile of ruins back there was massacred by those from the Dao Sect. Almost everything from the ancient era was wiped out by them! No, the history of the ancient era has already been erased! You wouldn’t even know about the ancient era anywhere else!”
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, saying nothing.
Gu continued: “Of course, this is normal! The victor is king, the loser a captive. It’s the way of the world!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Gu. “You seem to take it well!”
Gu smiled. “What else can I do if I don’t?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Let’s go then!”
With that, he turned to leave!
At that moment, Gu suddenly said: “Wait!”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu, who smiled. “A big gift for you!”
With that, she turned to the hall, opened her palm, and gently pressed down.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire hall began to boil!
Ye Xuan was stunned, looking around. At that moment, many shadowy figures appeared!
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “What are these?”
Gu smiled without answering.
Soon, a shadowy figure appeared in the hall, gradually solidifying. Before long, the figure fully materialized, looking exactly like the middle-aged man Wu Kong from the statue outside!
After appearing, Wu Kong’s gaze was somewhat dazed but gradually cleared.
A moment later, Wu Kong looked at Gu. Seeing her, he froze.
Gu smiled. “Meeting again like this, surprised?”
Wu Kong nodded slightly. “Very surprised!”
Gu smiled, then pointed to Ye Xuan. “This young brother is extraordinary, and he’s about to cultivate the Ancient Battle Body. So, I think he’s suitable to learn your ultimate technique!”
Hearing this, Wu Kong looked at Ye Xuan, sizing him up, then glanced at Gu, who nodded slightly.
After a long silence, Wu Kong said: “Alright!”
With that, he opened his palm, and a white light surged from it, entering Ye Xuan’s forehead.
Boom!
In an instant, countless pieces of information flooded Ye Xuan’s mind!
A moment later, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Primordial Spirit Fist!
Wu Kong looked at Ye Xuan. “This fist is supremely powerful and domineering, requiring an extremely strong physical body to perform! You can’t cultivate it now. Only after you’ve mastered the Ancient Battle Body can you practice it!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Understood!”
With that, he gave a slight bow. “Thank you, Senior!”
Wu Kong smiled. “Fate!”
He turned to Gu. “I never thought you’d still be alive!”
Gu smiled. “The ways of the world are unpredictable!”
Wu Kong nodded slightly. “Take care, Senior!”
With that, he began to fade bit by bit!
Senior!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but glance at Gu, who smiled. “We can go now!”
With that, she turned and walked outside!
Ye Xuan followed!
On the way, Ye Xuan was curious. “Did he fall?”
Gu nodded. “Many, many years ago! I just forcibly made him appear for a moment!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “Time reversal?”
Gu shook her head. “I forcibly pulled his life imprint from the Land of Return. Of course, now he’s gone back!”
The Land of Return!
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “Is that the legendary place where life imprints return after someone falls?”
Gu nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Gu. “You can pull life imprints from the Land of Return?”
Gu smiled. “I can’t! But I can make their life imprints appear briefly! And it comes at a great cost! For example, just now, his brief appearance caused his life imprint to completely vanish!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why?”
Gu smiled. “Once they leave the Land of Return, their life imprints are erased by the supreme laws of the heavens. Of course, outsiders can intervene, but it’s useless unless you can defeat the Master of the Great Dao Pen! I can’t, so I couldn’t save him!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu glanced at Ye Xuan, then said: “The Land of Return is the core of the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s order. If that place collapses, this universe’s order will fall into chaos! So… want to take your sister there for a stroll? One slash, and this universe’s order collapses instantly!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Gu. “That’s too much trouble! I’d rather have my sister wipe out this universe with one slash!”
With that, he walked off into the distance!
Gu smiled and hurriedly followed, walking beside Ye Xuan. She said seriously: “Can you tell me about your sister?”
Ye Xuan said calmly: “What do you want to know?”
Gu asked: “Is she from an era before the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No!”
Gu frowned. “Then who is she?”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu. “From the same era as me!”
Gu’s expression grew peculiar!
Ye Xuan suddenly said: “Miss Gu, after you recover your physical body, what do you plan to do? Seek revenge on the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Gu shook her head. “Once I recover my body, I’ll find a place to hide and develop quietly!”
She shook her head with a sigh. “I’ll have to lay low for a while!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
