Take two steps!
In the arena, the faces of the Illusory Crystal Clan powerhouses were extremely grim!
The Great Demon King was currently the strongest of the Illusory Demon Clan, yet even he couldn’t withstand this sword strike. Who would dare step forward and take two steps?
Taking those steps might mean disappearing entirely!
None of the Illusory Demon Clan powerhouses dared make a sound!
Even the Illusory Demon King stood there, mouth agape, his face full of disbelief.
This human, who had fled at the sight of his swordsmanship before, had now become so terrifyingly powerful?
The Illusory Demon King couldn’t wrap his head around it!
At that moment, the Great Demon King said gravely, “Sir…”
Ye Xuan glanced at the Great Demon King. “Now, don’t say anything. None of you should speak. I talk, you listen, then do as I say, understood?”
The Great Demon King wanted to say something, but Ye Xuan raised his hand and swung a sword.
Boom!
A beam of sword light slashed out.
Rumble!
The Great Demon King’s soul was instantly forced back tens of thousands of feet, becoming faint!
The faces of the Illusory Crystal Clan powerhouses changed drastically!
Ye Xuan looked at the Great Demon King, who hesitated before saying, “You speak…”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “How many Divine Knowledge Crystals does the Illusory Crystal Realm have now?”
The Great Demon King replied, “A total of one billion eighty million!”
One billion eighty million!
Ye Xuan’s eyes twitched.
This place is filthy rich!
At that moment, Zhantai Ling’er ran out from Ye Xuan’s tower, exclaiming, “One billion eighty million?”
The Great Demon King glanced at Zhantai Ling’er and nodded. “Yes!”
Zhantai Ling’er was thrilled. “We’re rich! Super rich!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
Then, Zhantai Ling’er asked, “How many Divine Knowledge Crystal mines do you have?”
The Great Demon King hesitated, then said, “Nine!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “So few?”
Zhantai Ling’er quickly said, “That’s not few! One Divine Knowledge Crystal mine can produce at least a million crystals a year. That’s already terrifying! Our Divine Knowledge Civilization only has two such mines! They have nine, which is incredible!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Alright then!”
He turned to the excited Zhantai Ling’er and smiled. “Don’t worry, I said I’d give you one mine, and I will!”
Zhantai Ling’er grinned widely. “Great!”
Ye Xuan turned to the Great Demon King, saying nothing.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s calm gaze, the Great Demon King hurriedly said, “Sir, my Illusory Demon Clan is willing to follow you from now on!”
Submission!
He knew he had no choice but to submit.
This human had already shown killing intent!
Clearly, he intended to eliminate them completely to prevent future trouble!
If they didn’t surrender now, there might not be another chance later!
Hearing the Great Demon King’s words, Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Then your Illusory Demon Clan will merge into my Academy!”
The Great Demon King nodded quickly. “Good, good!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I’ll send someone to take over the entire Illusory Crystal Realm!”
With that, he extended his right hand.
The Great Demon King hesitated, then opened his palm, and a massive storage ring slowly floated to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced at it. Inside the ring were exactly one billion eighty million Divine Knowledge Crystals!
Ye Xuan put away the ring and looked at Zhantai Ling’er. “Pick a Divine Knowledge Crystal mine!”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed. “Alright!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and vanished into the depths of the starry sky.
Seeing this, the Great Demon King let out a sigh of relief!
That sword strike earlier was simply too terrifying!
As if recalling something, he suddenly turned and glared at the Illusory Demon King. “This is all your fault!”
The Illusory Demon King felt wronged. “Didn’t you all say before that the sword was great and didn’t need to be returned? Why are you blaming me now?”
The Great Demon King trembled with anger!
Now, they’d lost everything and more!
What a huge loss!
Nearby, Zhantai Ling’er suddenly laughed. “Great Demon King, don’t be angry. Joining the Guanxuan Academy isn’t a bad thing! From what I know, the Guanxuan Academy is very powerful now. You’ll live well in the future!”
The Great Demon King glanced at Zhantai Ling’er, snapping, “If it’s so good, why hasn’t your Divine Knowledge Civilization joined?”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed. “Because we surrendered quickly, haha!”
Great Demon King: “…”
…
After Ye Xuan returned to the Guanxuan Academy, he immediately found Qin Guan and handed her a storage ring.
Inside the ring were five hundred million Divine Knowledge Crystals!
As for the rest, he naturally kept some for himself!
How could a man out in the world not have some private savings?
Qin Guan glanced at the ring. Seeing the five hundred million Divine Knowledge Crystals, she was stunned. “The energy in these crystals is incredible!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Yes! These are the best energy crystals known so far!”
Qin Guan smiled slightly. “For me?”
As she spoke, she had already taken the ring!
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Of course it’s for you!”
Qin Guan laughed. “Great!”
Ye Xuan added, “The Illusory Crystal Realm is mine now! There are eight Divine Knowledge Crystal mines there. Go take over them later!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Good!”
She glanced at the ring in her hand and laughed. “With these Divine Knowledge Crystals, I can create more and stronger weapons! Haha…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan laughed. “I’m off to work!”
With that, she turned to leave but soon stopped and added, “Oh, right! Miss Qingqiu sent a message!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan quickly asked, “What did she say?”
Qin Guan said, “She’s in a distant Desolate Battlefield, training the Academy’s people there. She said it’s a great place for cultivation. You can go!”
Desolate Battlefield!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Where is it?”
Qin Guan pointed a finger, and a white light entered Ye Xuan’s forehead. Soon, a star map appeared in his mind.
Qin Guan smiled. “You have the Qingxuan Sword. If you want to go, you can fly there in no time!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
Qin Guan said no more and turned away, happily going to take over the Divine Knowledge Crystal mines!
Seeing Qin Guan’s joyful expression, Ye Xuan smiled!
For some reason, he loved showering Qin Guan with money. It gave him an inexplicable thrill!
He might be a bit psychologically twisted!
Ye Xuan smiled and turned to leave!
Cultivation!
Now that he knew where Qingqiu was, he wasn’t in a rush anymore!
His priority was to perfect this folding technique, merge it with the Qingxuan Sword, and unleash its maximum power!
In an unknown starry sky, Ye Xuan raised his right hand, and the surrounding space-time instantly warped!
An entire star region, spanning millions of miles, twisted at that moment!
Utterly terrifying!
This time, Ye Xuan wasn’t as strained as before, though it wasn’t exactly easy either. The drain on his soul was still significant!
But with the Qingxuan Sword, it was much easier!
Because the Qingxuan Sword could stabilize his soul!
As time passed, the surrounding space-time star region was compressed into a single line. Then, Ye Xuan fused it into the Qingxuan Sword!
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, emitting a piercing sword cry!
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, thrilled beyond measure!
If he swung this sword, it could easily kill a Fate Mysterious Realm powerhouse!
He had that confidence!
Now, he finally felt he was no longer a weakling!
And his instincts told him this time, he wouldn’t just shine for three days!
Because this time, he was practicing the cultivation method given by Qing’er, which, so far, far surpassed many civilizations!
Even a civilization like the Divine Knowledge Civilization hadn’t touched this compression folding technique!
He was rising!
Ye Xuan laughed heartily and turned to leave.
This time, he planned to find Wubian!
Damn it!
This time, he was definitely going to beat that smug Wubian!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find him!
Somewhere, Ye Xuan looked at An You in front of him. “No news of him at all?”
An You nodded. “Yes! Ever since you went to the Divine Knowledge Civilization, Wubian left! His strength is too great, and our people didn’t dare follow. So, we don’t know where he is now!”
Ye Xuan fell silent, feeling a bit annoyed!
Wubian must have known he’d succeeded in his cultivation and ran off early, not giving him a chance to show off!
What a sly guy!
Ye Xuan said, “If we can’t find him, so be it!”
An You nodded slightly and quietly withdrew!
Unable to find Wubian, Ye Xuan suddenly felt bored!
He wanted to show off, but there was no one to show off to!
Lonely as snow!
At that moment, Zhantai Ling’er suddenly appeared before Ye Xuan, her face beaming with a radiant smile.
She was naturally overjoyed!
Because after the Divine Knowledge Civilization learned that Ye Xuan had taken over the Illusory Crystal Realm, the entire civilization was shocked!
The Illusory Crystal Realm was a juicy prize they’d coveted for a long time!
But they never dared to take a bite!
Now, Ye Xuan had devoured it!
Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Ye Xuan gave Zhantai Ling’er a Divine Knowledge Crystal mine, and she didn’t keep it for herself but offered it to the Divine Knowledge Civilization!
This act instantly skyrocketed her favor among all the powerhouses in the Divine Knowledge Civilization!
This girl had vision and heart!
As a result, Zhantai Ling’er’s status and prestige in the Divine Knowledge Civilization soared, now rivaling the three great Mysterious Venerables!
Of course, another crucial reason was that Zhantai Ling’er was now extremely close to Ye Xuan!
This was vital for the Divine Knowledge Civilization!
Whether they could latch onto this big shot depended on Zhantai Ling’er!
Seeing her, Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss Ling’er, is something up?”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed. “I’m giving you a big gift! You’ll definitely like it!”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then smiled. “A big gift for me?”
Zhantai Ling’er nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “What kind of gift?”
Zhantai Ling’er clapped her hands, and soon, two women stepped out from behind her. Both had stunning figures and breathtaking beauty.
Zhantai Ling’er walked up to Ye Xuan, winked, and said, “A double treat… hehe…”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze. “…”
