No status.
To be honest, Ye Xuan was stunned.
After all, the Master of the Great Dao Pen, the first three words were “Great Dao Pen.”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “The Great Dao Pen, in his hands, is invincible. Only he can unleash its true special abilities.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “Special abilities?”
Her Highness Qi nodded, “Writing the fate of all things and spirits. In other words, this pen is a cheat device, able to freely alter the fate of living beings.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Isn’t that very powerful?”
Her Highness Qi looked at Ye Xuan, “It is powerful, but only in the hands of its master.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
He understood.
It wasn’t that the Great Dao Pen was weak, it depended on who wielded it.
Her Highness Qi continued, “Right now, the Great Dao Pen is in your hands, but you can’t unleash its true power. To put it bluntly, it’s just an ordinary pen.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, smiling, “Poor little pen.”
Her Highness Qi suddenly asked, “Why does it follow you?”
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed.
The small pagoda suddenly said, “No doubt, this was designed by the Master of the Great Dao Pen. Master, you should be cautious of this pen, many have fallen into traps.”
Great Dao Pen: “…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The Master of the Great Dao Pen isn’t as bad as you think.”
He turned to Her Highness Qi, “Your Highness Qi, let’s go to the Left Realm.”
He wanted to see the cosmic world under Daomen’s rule.
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Let’s set off then.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good.”
The academy was now on track, Li Banzhi and Taichu Jing could handle it.
Her Highness Qi glanced around, softly saying, “My people, rest in peace.”
Moments later, the two left the ruins of the Ming Empire, heading to the Left Realm.
In the endless starry sky, they travelled through space.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Your Highness Qi, does the Left Realm have a new realm system?”
Her Highness Qi said, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan was curious, “Can you tell me about it?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “You can ignore the lower realms, but there’s one you should note, the Heavenly Law Realm. It’s the highest realm in the Left Realm. With your current strength, only those in the Heavenly Law Realm could pose a slight threat to you.”
Ye Xuan blinked, “So, I won’t be a weakling in the Left Realm?”
Her Highness Qi shook her head, smiling, “Young Master Ye, with your current strength, you won’t be a weakling anywhere. If I’m not mistaken, your folding technique has made significant breakthroughs, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Not only had his folding technique improved greatly, but his power of faith had also seen huge progress.
Most people were no match for him now.
Among those he knew, only Ye Qingqing and her level were beyond him.
Her Highness Qi added, “Young Master Ye, your folding technique is impressive. If mastered, few could withstand it.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Didn’t I fail against you back then?”
He paused, then added, “Is Your Highness Qi in the Heavenly Law Realm?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Halfway there.”
Halfway.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, gaining a rough understanding of the Heavenly Law Realm’s strength.
Her Highness Qi suddenly asked, “I heard that your academy’s Master Qin built teleportation arrays across all heavens and realms?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes. Your Highness Qi knows about Xiao Guan?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “The Master of the Great Dao Pen once wanted to do the same, but he didn’t follow through.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Her Highness Qi shook her head, smiling, “It requires money.”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Does the Master of the Great Dao Pen need money?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Of course, building teleportation arrays costs a tremendous amount.”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Daomen people are greedy, right?”
Her Highness Qi blinked, “Who told you that?”
Ye Xuan said, “The Great Dao Pen.”
Great Dao Pen: “…”
Her Highness Qi was silent for a moment, then said, “Indeed, they’re greedy.”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Are you greedy, Your Highness Qi?”
Her Highness Qi thought for a while, “I don’t know if I count as greedy.”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “How so?”
Her Highness Qi said, “In Daomen, some give me gifts to help with small matters. If the gift is substantial and the task isn’t too troublesome, I usually help.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Her Highness Qi looked at him, “Is that considered greedy?”
Ye Xuan countered, “What do you think?”
Her Highness Qi thought, then said, “It’s mutual benefit.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Young Master Ye, are you worried about corruption in your academy?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Quite worried.”
Her Highness Qi laughed, “Then you’d better manage it well. Your academy is huge, with too many opportunities for profit, especially for those in high positions.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Yes.”
Her Highness Qi glanced at him, adding, “Honestly, your academy must be overflowing with opportunities, I’m a bit tempted.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, smiling, “Your Highness Qi, in my impression, you don’t seem like someone greedy for wealth.”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “I am.”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
His intuition told him this woman wasn’t too interested in money.
Her Highness Qi didn’t dwell on the topic, “Young Master Ye, will you go to war with Daomen?”
Ye Xuan was curious, “Why ask?”
Her Highness Qi looked at him, “Daomen represents the old order, while your Guanxuan Academy represents the new order. One day, the two will clash irreconcilably.”
Ye Xuan said, “How could I lose?”
Her Highness Qi was stunned.
Ye Xuan stared at her, smiling, “I’m not being arrogant, Your Highness Qi, tell me, with my starting point, how could I lose?”
Her Highness Qi was silent.
She understood his meaning.
This guy had powerful backers.
Three major figures behind him from the start.
How could he lose?
With that thought, Her Highness Qi sighed inwardly, Daomen was truly unlucky.
Just then, the space-time tunnel in the distance trembled violently, with powerful energy fluctuations.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
Her Highness Qi said, “Someone’s fighting.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Should we detour?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Too late.”
As soon as she spoke, the space-time barrier in front of them collapsed, and an old man tumbled out, moving so fast he reached Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi in an instant.
Her Highness Qi gently pressed her right hand forward, stopping the old man.
At that moment, a woman emerged from the distance, dressed in black armor, holding a long saber, exuding a heroic aura.
She looked at Her Highness Qi and Ye Xuan, frowning.
Her Highness Qi smiled, “You two, we’re just passing through.”
Passing through.
The old man on the ground suddenly stood, trembling, “Miss, I’m from Immortal Emperor City. If you save me, my city will reward you handsomely.”
Immortal Emperor City.
Ye Xuan turned to Her Highness Qi, who shook her head, “Never heard of it.”
The old man looked embarrassed, “Miss, Immortal Emperor City, ‘Immortal’ as in immortals, ‘Emperor’ as in emperors…”
Her Highness Qi said earnestly, “Really, never heard of it.”
The old man was silent.
Her Highness Qi added, “We don’t want to get involved in your conflict. Farewell.”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, let’s go.”
Ye Xuan nodded, not wanting to meddle.
As they were about to leave, the old man suddenly said, “TianYuan Ruins.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “TianYuan Ruins?”
The old man burst into laughter, not answering Ye Xuan but looking at the armored woman, “Now, outsiders know about the TianYuan Ruins. Miss Gan, are you going to silence them too?”
Silence them.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi both frowned.
This old man wasn’t a good person.
Miss Gan glanced at Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi, then looked at the old man, “You’re even dumber than I thought.”
Dumb?
The old man sneered, “You mean to say I’m wrong?”
He had said that to drag Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi into the mess.
Her Highness Qi suddenly said, “Do you think you’re clever?”
The old man looked at her, and she said, “Do you know who I am?”
The old man’s eyes narrowed, “Who are you?”
Her Highness Qi said, “I’m from Daomen.”
Daomen.
The old man froze, then burst into wild laughter.
Ye Xuan’s expression turned odd.
Her Highness Qi was puzzled, “What’s so funny?”
The old man laughed, “Daomen? Don’t you know what a mess Daomen is around here?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
He realised something.
In some places, Daomen was incredibly powerful, but in others, it was utterly miserable.
Like the Daomen Taichu Jing was from.
That Daomen was also a disaster.
Thinking of Taichu Jing, Ye Xuan grew curious. He hadn’t checked on her since she joined the academy, and he wondered how she was doing.
She probably wasn’t being bullied, right?
Hearing the old man, Her Highness Qi fell silent.
Clearly, Daomen here was in a sorry state.
So, she said, “Do you know about the Guanxuan Academy?”
The old man frowned, “I’ve heard of it.”
Ye Xuan’s interest was piqued, “You’ve heard of the Guanxuan Academy?”
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Not long ago, some people claiming to be from the Guanxuan Academy came here and set up an academy, but it shut down after a few days.”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “Why?”
The old man said calmly, “They were nearly beaten to death.”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
The old man looked at him, “That guy kept bragging about how great the Guanxuan Academy’s dean was, how amazing the academy was, urging everyone to join now or miss out, saying submission now would bring more benefits.”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “You didn’t believe them?”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, “Would you?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I would.”
The old man looked at him, “So young, yet so naive.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
