Ye Xuan was utterly speechless.
Yet, the ice-armored woman didn’t take the Little Tower or the sword, instead returning them to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at her. She, however, entered the Little Tower directly.
Inside the Little Tower, she looked around, first stunned, then shocked, then overwhelmed, and finally in disbelief.
After a long while, she said, “One day in this realm equals ten years outside! Such divine mastery, what kind of civilization created this?”
The Divine Knowledge Civilization was powerful, capable of restarting entire universes, but this kind of time-reversal technique was beyond their reach.
It involved far too many complexities!
At least, the Divine Knowledge Civilization couldn’t achieve this, especially not to this extent!
One day here, ten years outside!
It could only be described as heaven-defying!
After a moment, she left the Little Tower and approached Ye Xuan, looking at him, “Who created that tower and sword?”
Ye Xuan said, “My sister!”
The woman frowned slightly, “Impossible! According to the Divine Knowledge Law, you couldn’t have a sister that powerful!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”
Her brows furrowed, “You should refute me, provide evidence to convince me that your sister is a higher civilization lifeform!”
Ye Xuan said, “I won’t refute you because we don’t speak the same language!”
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, “Unreasonable!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
She said no more and turned to leave.
Ye Xuan sensed his body, finding it bound by a mysterious force, completely immobilizing him!
This force was too strong!
He frowned and tried to summon his Human Realm Sword Intent, but it was useless.
At that moment, the mysterious force binding him vanished without a trace.
Ye Xuan was stunned.
The woman walked over, “I’ve decided to set you free!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
She said, “We discussed it. I told them you might have a higher civilization lifeform behind you, one our Divine Knowledge Civilization likely can’t defeat. So, I suggested not killing you, keeping you alive for observation!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
This woman was brutally honest!
She continued, “You can go back! Out of respect for your sister, we’ll temporarily refrain from destroying your universe. But this is temporary. If we find out your sister isn’t a higher civilization lifeform, we’ll still destroy your universe, and at that time, we’ll kill you too!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Should I thank you?”
She replied, “No need!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
She said, “Human, you’re free!”
Ye Xuan stood, dressed himself, and looked at her, “Can I learn about your civilization?”
She was about to refuse when Ye Xuan added, “In return, I can introduce you to my sister later!”
She nodded, “Deal!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Deal!”
With that, she led Ye Xuan out of the hall. Outside, he found they were in a vast starry sky, filled with towering, shimmering buildings and halls, the smallest of which stood hundreds of thousands of zhang high!
In the starry sky, white lights occasionally streaked by at incredible speeds!
Beside Ye Xuan, the woman said, “What do you want to know?”
Ye Xuan said, “Martial arts!”
She shook her head, “Martial arts is your universe’s term. Here, it’s civilization. Your so-called martial arts and Dao are very low-level. We pursue the mysteries of life and the universe!”
Very low-level!
Ye Xuan couldn’t argue!
She asked, “Do you want to know how we cultivate?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
She said, “We meditate and cultivate the power of the starry sky!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Meditation? Starry sky power?”
She nodded, sat cross-legged, placed her hands on her knees, and slowly closed her eyes. Soon, countless mysterious starlights surged toward her. After entering her body, countless faint black energy orbs flowed out.
Ye Xuan was curious, “What are these black energies?”
She opened her eyes slowly, “These are junk energies!”
Ye Xuan was stunned, “Junk energies?”
She nodded, “Exactly! When we absorb starry sky energy, our bodies filter it, removing harmful substances and absorbing only the essence!”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “The starry sky energy has harmful substances?”
She nodded slightly, “Yes! Not just starry sky energy, but many spiritual energies contain some harmful substances. Over time, these can cause varying degrees of harm to the body, so we need to filter them!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Body filtering?”
She nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “How do I absorb this starry sky power and filter it?”
She said, “There’s a cultivation method, the Divine Knowledge Heart Method, divided into nine levels. The higher the level, the faster the absorption, and the stronger you become!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “Can I cultivate it?”
She was silent for a moment, then said, “Probably not!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
She said, “Because you haven’t transcended your own limitations, so you can’t cultivate our heart method!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “How do I transcend my limitations?”
She said, “Simple. Enter the Pure Water Pool to refine your body, fully merging your soul, body, and will to cultivate a new pure body, what we call a Pure Body. Only with a Pure Body can you cultivate our Divine Knowledge Civilization’s heart method!”
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “Lady, I don’t even know your name yet! How should I address you?”
She thought for a long time, then said, “If translated into your language, my name would be Zhantai Ling’er!”
Translated!
Ye Xuan glanced at her, no wonder her word choice was odd at times—she was translating her speech!
Understandable, they were from different civilizations!
Zhantai Ling’er said, “Do you want to go to the Pure Water Pool?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Can I?”
She said, “Yes! But in your human civilization, you repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring. Taking you to refine your body is a great favor. How will you repay me?”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
She continued, “Or, let’s be more direct and make a deal! No need for vague pleasantries!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Then be direct. Tell me what you want!”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “I want to cultivate in your Little Tower for a while!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
She asked, “Is that okay?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Why not just take the Little Tower?”
She shook her head, “If it were an ordinary divine object, I might take it! But this exceeds the scope of our Divine Knowledge Civilization. I can’t take it. If I did, it would bring great disaster!”
Ye Xuan was silent. This woman was quite clear-headed!
She said, “What do you think?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Fine!”
She said, “Follow me, I’ll take you to refine your body!”
With that, she turned and walked into the distance.
Ye Xuan quickly followed.
Soon, Zhantai Ling’er led Ye Xuan to a mountaintop, where there was a large pool of crystal-clear water.
She looked at Ye Xuan, “Jump in, and you can refine your body. Once refined, you can cultivate our Divine Knowledge Civilization’s heart method!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Really?”
She said, “I wouldn’t lie to you!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
She said, “If you were going to kill a pig, would you bother lying to it? You…”
“Stop!”
Ye Xuan interrupted her, “If you don’t know how to use metaphors, don’t use them!”
He was genuinely a bit scared of this woman!
Her metaphors were even more absurd than Little Tower’s!
Without further ado, Ye Xuan stripped completely and walked toward the pool.
He wasn’t afraid of her looking. In her eyes, it was just a reproductive organ!
If he covered up, it would seem like his thoughts were impure!
Zhantai Ling’er didn’t say much. She glanced at a certain part of Ye Xuan, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity, but nothing more.
As Ye Xuan entered the Pure Water Pool, his body felt icy cold, but soon, he noticed his soul slowly drifting out of his body!
Ye Xuan was stunned!
At that moment, Zhantai Ling’er said, “Don’t panic. Your body has too many impurities, so it needs to be separated for cleansing!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, not thinking much of it, and asked, “What do I need to do?”
She said, “Nothing. Just lie there. The Pure Water Pool will automatically cleanse your soul and body.”
Ye Xuan nodded, saying no more, lying quietly in the pool, letting it cleanse his soul and body.
It had to be said, the sensation was truly comfortable.
Especially for his soul—it felt like a massage, incredibly soothing!
Nearby, Zhantai Ling’er observed Ye Xuan. After a moment, she asked, “Comfortable?”
Ye Xuan nodded quickly, “Very comfortable!”
She smiled slightly, “Can you make me feel comfortable too?”
At that, a certain part of Ye Xuan instantly reacted.
This…
