The elder was nearly in tears!
You didn’t force me, just held a sword to my forehead…
Beside them, Ye Xuan was brimming with curiosity, “Qing’er, is the space-time we’re in now beyond space-time?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan asked, “Is there an even more terrifying space-time above it?”
Qing’er nodded slightly, “The space-time we’re in is paper drawn by someone else. Beyond space-time is another paper, just a different one. Moving from this space-time to beyond is merely jumping from a small circle to a larger one!”
Ye Xuan asked directly, “What’s the final circle?”
Qing’er looked at him, “Don’t worry about the final circle. Just know, if you can enter the Void True Space-Time, you’ve barely jumped out of all the circles!”
Void True Space-Time!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Wasn’t that where his dad went?
Qing’er suddenly said, “Your sword’s speed needs to reach its limit. Only by entering beyond space-time, striking from outside the paper to inside, is it more than just speed! As for folding, you can’t do it yet. A universe’s matter and energy are too vast! Of course, it’s not impossible, it just takes time!”
She pointed at Ye Xuan’s forehead.
Boom!
His body trembled violently as countless pieces of information flooded his mind.
Qing’er looked at him, “This is a folding method I created for you. Start slowly, from a small space-time, then to an entire universe!”
Folding method!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Qing’er, can I focus solely on swordsmanship?”
Qing’er said, “It won’t affect your swordsmanship! All methods and paths can merge into the sword, taking others’ strengths to mend your weaknesses, understand?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Got it!”
Qing’er glanced around, then said, “This universe’s civilization is too low-level. Want to develop somewhere else?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Are you saying I’m progressing too slowly?”
Qing’er shook her head, “No! I just want to take you to see the worl— I mean, the universe is vast, I want to take you exploring!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Nah, I’ll take it slow!”
Qing’er nodded slightly, “Fine! I’m off then!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
Qing’er didn’t linger, turning into a sword light and vanishing at the edge of the galaxy!
Ye Xuan gazed at the galaxy’s end, murmuring, “I feel like Qing’er knows so much!”
The little tower said, “Feeling like a failure?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “If you can’t talk properly, don’t talk, got it?”
The little tower: “…”
Zhantai Ling’er appeared, looking at the starry depths, “She’s gone?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Zhantai Ling’er hesitated, then asked, “Young Master Ye, what civilization is she from?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The Invincible Civilization!”
Invincible!
Zhantai Ling’er froze.
Ye Xuan smiled, then said, “Miss Ling’er, remember, our human civilization and your Divine Knowledge Civilization will coexist peacefully!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Zhantai Ling’er suddenly called, “Young Master Ye, wait!”
Ye Xuan turned to her. She said, “We’d like to invite you to establish a Guanxuan Academy in our Divine Knowledge Civilization!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “We’re sincere!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Will you cooperate?”
Zhantai Ling’er quickly said, “Yes! Don’t worry, Young Master Ye, when your strength surpasses ours, we’ll be very cooperative!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Girl, you’re so blunt!
Zhantai Ling’er added, “If you start the academy, I’ll be the first to join, and some of our civilization’s geniuses will too, but…”
Ye Xuan looked at her, smiling faintly, knowing there’d be conditions!
Normal!
Zhantai Ling’er looked at him, “If we join, what will you teach us?”
Ye Xuan froze.
He hadn’t thought about that!
Teach what?
He was silent. He couldn’t teach human civilization’s ways, they’d have no interest!
Zhantai Ling’er suddenly said, “How about having that girl from earlier teach us?”
Ye Xuan glanced at her, “Dream on!”
Zhantai Ling’er rolled her eyes.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Looks like I can’t start an academy in your civilization yet!”
Zhantai Ling’er quickly said, “No problem, start the academy first! After we join, we can temporarily study human civilization’s culture!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Clearly, the Divine Knowledge Civilization wanted to tie themselves to him!
After a moment, he said, “Miss Ling’er, let’s put the academy on hold. How about this: I can hire your civilization’s experts to lecture at Guanxuan Academy, letting human civilization learn about yours. What do you think?”
Zhantai Ling’er paused, then said, “That works?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It does!”
Zhantai Ling’er thought, then said, “That’s fine! But, if we hire people, will you pay?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Zhantai Ling’er blinked, “Trying to get it for free?”
Ye Xuan gave an awkward smile, “I’m pretty broke right now!”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed, “No worries, we can loan you money, and you pay us back later!”
A loan!
Ye Xuan said, “How much can I borrow?”
Zhantai Ling’er said, “Well… we can discuss details later! Details!”
Details!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Without further talk, he turned to leave.
He needed to study the folding method Qing’er gave him!
As he left, the Beyond Space-Time Guardian elder bowed deeply.
Zhantai Ling’er turned to the elder, “Who are you?”
The elder glanced at her, waved his sleeve grandly, “The Beyond Space-Time Guardian!”
Zhantai Ling’er frowned, “Never heard of you!”
The elder snorted, “Frog in a well!”
With that, he vanished into the starry depths.
Zhantai Ling’er glanced at the starry depths, “Must be what humans call an old immortal…”
The elder: “…”
…
Ye Xuan found a quiet place and entered the little tower.
Cultivation!
This time, he wasn’t cultivating the Divine Knowledge Heart Method but Qing’er’s folding method!
Her method was detailed, almost outrageously so.
Clearly, she was worried he wouldn’t understand.
Ye Xuan felt a bit speechless.
Was he that dumb?
Without overthinking, he sat cross-legged, hands on his chest, eyes slowly closing!
He decided to start with a small space-time.
Jumping out of the current space-time wasn’t just about saying so!
After jumping out, he made a new discovery!
The current space-time’s powers couldn’t enter beyond space-time!
In other words, once he jumped into beyond space-time, he was invincible!
Unless the opponent could also enter it!
But for now, those who could were exceedingly rare!
Absolute suppression!
Beyond space-time utterly dominated the current space-time, like a father beating a son, leaving no room for resistance!
Invincible existence!
Ye Xuan suddenly wondered if that Boundless Lord could jump out of the current space-time!
If not, he could give him a good thrashing!
Haha!
Ye Xuan couldn’t help laughing!
Let that cocky guy keep acting tough!
Without further thought, Ye Xuan began trying to fold the space-time before him.
…
Divine Knowledge Mysterious Realm.
The Divine Knowledge Civilization’s experts gathered, their faces grave!
A new higher civilization had appeared!
Over the years, they’d cautiously explored the universe, fearing the discovery of a new advanced civilization!
Don’t expect peaceful coexistence unless both sides were equally strong. Otherwise, it’s big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp!
Because that’s how the Divine Knowledge Civilization operated!
The strong don’t reason with the weak!
Divine Mysterious Venerable looked at Zhantai Ling’er, “The academy matter, he agreed?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded quickly, “He did! Not only that, he’s willing to pay to hire our experts!”
Divine Mysterious Venerable nodded slightly, “Well done! From today, you’re promoted to Deputy Mysterious Venerable, answering only to the three venerables!”
Zhantai Ling’er was thrilled, bowing slightly, “From now on, I’ll devote myself to our civilization, even unto death!”
Divine Mysterious Venerable smiled, “The academy is your responsibility. Make sure to tie him to our civilization!”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded, “Understood!”
Wood Mysterious Venerable suddenly said, “Why not a marriage alliance?”
Marriage alliance!
The room froze, then thought it brilliant!
A marriage would make him one of their own!
Even closer!
Everyone looked at Zhantai Ling’er, as did Divine Mysterious Venerable!
Zhantai Ling’er blinked, then said, “I definitely won’t do!”
Divine Mysterious Venerable was puzzled, “Why not?”
Zhantai Ling’er said seriously, “Our aesthetics differ. I’m decent in our civilization, but among humans, I’d be considered quite ugly! Sending me for a marriage alliance would seem insincere!”
The experts fell silent.
Sincerity!
It had to be sincere!
Divine Mysterious Venerable looked at her, “Who do you think is suitable?”
Zhantai Ling’er blinked, then said, “How about this: I’ll probe his preferences, see what type he likes, then come back to choose.”
Divine Mysterious Venerable thought, then nodded, “Alright!”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled, “I think we can prepare a few! From what I know, humans are lustful, loving beautiful girls. If we offer several, he’ll be thrilled! This human is the lustiest of the lustful, what humans call a lecher…”
The experts: “…”
