At this moment, he truly didn’t want to fight anymore!
Of course, the main reason was that he couldn’t fight anymore!
His current state was like a man who had exhausted himself four or five times in a row…
Weak!
Completely weak!
As the Heavenly Wall opened, a woman in ice armor slowly walked out.
She was tall, wearing translucent ice armor that shimmered dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Her hair was also ice-colored, smooth as silk.
Ye Xuan lay on the ground, motionless.
He had given his all!
That sword strike had drained every ounce of his strength. Now, he didn’t even have the energy to move a finger!
Master Pan quickly approached Ye Xuan, crouched down, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said, “Young Master Ye, she’s coming!”
She didn’t choose to flee, because she had realized something!
The people from beyond the Heavenly Wall weren’t just targeting the Absolute Land, but the entire universe!
Where could they escape to?
Better to stick with Young Master Ye; there might be a sliver of hope!
After all, this Young Master Ye seemed to have someone backing him!
Ye Xuan ignored Master Pan completely. He was done trying!
At this moment, the ice-armored woman walked up to Ye Xuan and Master Pan, looking down at them without speaking.
Master Pan glanced at the woman, not daring to speak.
When you’re outmatched, you stay quiet!
The ice-armored woman suddenly opened her right hand. The next moment, countless energy fluctuations surged into her palm. Moments later, she spoke, “Human!”
Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion!
It was a kind of indifference, a disdain stemming from race and dimension.
Like a human watching an ant crawl on the ground!
Ye Xuan glanced at the woman and said, “If you want to talk, I can represent humanity to negotiate with you. If you want to fight, I can introduce you to an opponent. Don’t worry, it’ll be painless!”
Master Pan looked at Ye Xuan, surprised.
This Young Master Ye was so calm!
Did he have a strong backer?
The ice-armored woman ignored Ye Xuan’s words. She suddenly placed her right hand on his shoulder, and the next moment, both she and Ye Xuan vanished.
Master Pan, left behind, was stunned!
Moments later, she stood up, “Let’s go join the Guanxuan Academy!”
With that, she turned and led the Pan Clan powerhouses away.
…
When Ye Xuan woke up, he found himself on a stone platform, surrounded by several shadowy figures whose true faces he couldn’t make out.
At that moment, a voice came from beside him.
Ye Xuan turned to see the speaker—it was the ice-armored woman!
He couldn’t understand a word she said!
Suddenly, his brows furrowed.
Because he realized he seemed to have been stripped completely bare.
Wait!
What were these people doing?
Ye Xuan looked at the shadowy figures around him. Were they studying him?
He was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
At that moment, the ice-armored woman approached Ye Xuan, looking at him. With a wave of her right hand, the surrounding shadowy figures quietly retreated.
In the vast hall, only the two of them remained.
The ice-armored woman glanced at a certain part of Ye Xuan, “Why are you covering it?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Men and women are different, don’t you understand?”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan, “It’s just a reproductive organ, nothing more, got it?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “If you put it that way, can I see yours?”
The woman’s right hand suddenly pressed down.
“Ah!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened, his body feeling as if it were being pierced by millions of needles, convulsing violently. The sensation was indescribable.
After a long while, the woman withdrew her hand.
Ye Xuan collapsed like a pile of mud!
Moments later, he looked at the woman, trembling, “You said it’s just a reproductive organ!”
The woman’s expression was calm, “It is just a reproductive organ, but your words were insulting!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
She could look at him, and it was fine, but him looking at her was insulting?
What the hell?
The woman suddenly took out Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword and said, “This is a divine object crafted by a higher civilization lifeform. Why is it in your hands?”
Ye Xuan lay there, silent.
The woman frowned slightly, “Confess and be lenient, resist and be punished, understand?”
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched.
The woman added, “Human, the reason you’re alive is because you have value to us, understand?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “What value?”
The woman replied, “Research value!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
She continued, “This sword shouldn’t exist in a lower civilization universe. Its presence here is highly irregular! And you being able to wield it is even more irregular!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why is it irregular that I can use it?”
The woman said, “Divine Knowledge Law: Lower civilization lifeforms cannot use higher civilization divine objects. This is the Divine Knowledge Law!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Can you use this sword?”
The woman shook her head, “No!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “So, does that mean you’re also a lower civilization lifeform?”
The woman’s right hand suddenly rose and pressed down.
“Ah!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened, his body convulsing wildly…
After a long while, he said weakly, “We were talking fine, why did you attack…”
The woman said, “Your words were insulting!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman looked at the Qingxuan Sword in her hand and said, “Human, you need to cooperate with me. I can offer you some benefits within my ability.”
Ye Xuan asked, “What benefits?”
The woman thought for a long time, then said, “Don’t you humans love money? I can give you lots of money!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Money is an external thing. You don’t bring it into life, nor take it in death. What’s the use?”
The woman was silent for a moment, then asked, “What do you want?”
Ye Xuan said, “I want to learn about your culture, to study from you!”
The woman shook her head, “You can’t learn it!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
The woman said, “In your human terms, do you think the ants you see can learn your human civilization?”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “Your behavior is very disrespectful!”
The woman shook her head, “I’m not discriminating or malicious toward you. I’m stating a fact. Do you humans respect the thoughts of pigs? Do you respect the will of beings with lower intelligence than you?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He understood one thing!
These people didn’t treat him as an equal lifeform at all. Of course, this was normal, just as he wouldn’t respect an ant’s thoughts!
It stung, but it was the truth!
The woman said, “You may not know what this sword represents. It signifies a higher-level civilization! This is extremely important to our Divine Knowledge Civilization!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “A higher-level civilization?”
The woman nodded, “Civilizations are divided into several types: lower civilizations, higher civilizations. Our Divine Knowledge Civilization is a higher civilization, but above that, there are even higher levels, which we don’t know or have never discovered. Thus, we don’t know how to classify beyond higher civilizations.”
She looked at the Qingxuan Sword, “This sword is likely crafted by a powerhouse from a civilization above higher civilizations! So, it’s extremely important to our Divine Knowledge Civilization.”
Ye Xuan was still puzzled, “Why is it important?”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan, “Divine Knowledge Law: Higher civilizations cannot tolerate lower civilizations. In other words, civilizations higher than ours won’t tolerate our Divine Knowledge Civilization!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “You keep mentioning the Divine Knowledge Law. What exactly is it?”
The woman shook her head, “I can’t explain it to you!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
She continued, “Human, can you cooperate with me?”
Ye Xuan said, “I can’t cooperate with you!”
The woman frowned.
Ye Xuan added, “You’ve tied me up here, and you want me to cooperate… Lady, I know in your eyes, we humans are ants. If that’s the case, just kill me. I won’t resist, really, but I won’t surrender either! Kill me, I’m not afraid of death, come on!”
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, “Human, don’t be unreasonable. You need to be sensible!”
Ye Xuan was utterly speechless!
Damn it!
You tie me up, torture me, and then tell me to be reasonable?
What nonsense?
The woman added, “Human, you can make some reasonable requests. As long as they’re not too excessive, I can represent the Divine Knowledge Civilization to grant them! For example, you can ask for freedom. I can unbind you, but you can’t move. Or, if you’re hungry, I can get you some food. These are things I can do!”
Ye Xuan looked at the woman, speechless.
Listen to this!
Is this human speech?
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “Young Master, you can try to bluff her!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. He realized he couldn’t bluff her at all!
Because she wasn’t human!
She didn’t think like a human!
Since she didn’t act on human logic, how could he bluff her… Their points of reference and understanding were worlds apart!
At that moment, the woman suddenly opened her palm, and Little Tower landed in her hand. Little Tower quickly said, “Lady, you are truly beautiful!”
The woman nodded slightly, “Beauty is just a layer of skin, of little significance to cultivation, but… you speak honestly. Though you’re a lower civilization object… you’re a good tower!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was stunned.
What the hell?
The woman examined Little Tower, then looked at Ye Xuan, “This tower, this sword, both are excellent. Can you give them to me?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Can I say no?”
The woman said, “You can! But I don’t guarantee I’ll respect your wishes!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
