Ye Chuan looked at the mass of cultivators kneeling below him. He froze for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and casually waving his hand. All of you, rise.
That old geezer Xuan Qiong is gone, and this broken divine tomb has collapsed. Those who want to hunt for treasure can go home, and those looking for trouble should weigh whether they are strong enough to fight me. Dismissed.
As his words fell, he reached out and pulled Bai Qianshuang into his arms. With a flicker of his figure, he tore through space and disappeared above the endless Demonic Sea.
He left behind only the cultivators from the major factions on the suspended platform, looking at each other in dismay.
After this battle, the power dynamics of the Tianxuan Continent were completely rewritten.
Xuan Qiong had plotted to sacrifice all the cultivators. Master Taichu and the Sword Master, two mighty figures at the Ascension Realm, had lost their combat abilities in the aftermath, yet Holy Lord Ye had completely destroyed the enemy.
The Wutong Holy Land was annihilated, and the Wandu Holy Land was left leaderless. Their surviving disciples sent letters of surrender overnight, willingly submitting to the Yuxu Holy Land as their supreme authority.
The top factions of the three great divine continents Nanhua, Xihua, and Beihua scrambled to bring heavy gifts to the Yuxu Holy Land, seeking only to cling to the coattails of the number one expert in Tianxuan.
The once insignificant Yuxu Sect, which had nearly been wiped out by the Qingyun Sect, was now the undisputed sovereign of Tianxuan with Ye Chuan at the helm.
In just a few days, the mountain gates of the Yuxu Holy Land were piled high with congratulatory gifts from various sects. Spirit veins, dharma treasures, cultivation methods, and natural heavenly treasures poured in endlessly.
The already magnificent holy land now possessed spiritual energy so dense it reached the extreme, becoming the ultimate cultivation mecca in the hearts of all cultivators across the Tianxuan Continent.
...
However, the initiator of all this, Ye Chuan, had no interest in managing the trivial matters of these sects coming to pay their respects.
The affairs within the Holy Land were basically left to Bai Qianshuang to handle.
It was not until three days later that Ji Lingxuan came to visit.
Inside the grand hall of the Yuxu Holy Land.
Ji Lingxuan sat in a chair, looking at Ye Chuan in front of her. She hesitated to speak several times before finally failing to hold back and speaking first:
Brother Ye, honestly, I still haven't recovered from the shock.
Hmm? Recover from what? Ye Chuan looked up, seemingly trying to hold back a smile. I just slaughtered Xuan Qiong and broke through to the Ascension Realm. What is there to recover from?
Just slaughtered Xuan Qiong?
That was the number one figure from the ancient era.
A mighty figure who was half a step into becoming a true immortal.
Ji Lingxuan paused and lowered her voice:
Speaking of which, what exactly is your cultivation level now? The patriarch and I tried to probe you with our divine sense, but we couldn't see through you at all. It just feels like you have completely merged with this world.
Oh, you mean that. Ye Chuan took a sip of spirit tea and replied casually,
I've reached the peak of the Ascension Realm, and the heavenly dao barrier has opened. If I want to ascend, I can tear open the realm gate and visit the upper realm at any time.
Pfft!
Ji Lingxuan directly spat out the tea she had just drunk. She abruptly stood up from her chair, completely dumbfounded:
What did you say?! Peak of the Ascension Realm?! You can ascend at any time?!
She was in a state of extreme shock, her mind almost unable to process it.
Just a few months ago, he had barely broken through to the Mahayana Realm.
Half a month ago, he reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
But now, he was saying he had reached the peak of the Ascension Realm and could ascend at any time?!
How was this cultivation? This was clearly stealing the Heavenly Dao's livelihood!
You... with this cultivation speed, are you even human? Ji Lingxuan's mouth twitched for a long time before she finally squeezed out this sentence.
Calm down, it's just basic operation. Ye Chuan waved his hand, looking entirely unconcerned, but seeing Ji Lingxuan's expression as if she had seen a ghost, he couldn't help but laugh.
What, are you afraid I'm no longer me?
As soon as these words came out, Ji Lingxuan's expression instantly froze.
She fell silent for a few seconds. The playful smile faded from her face, replaced by a touch of solemnity and hesitation. Finally, she gritted her teeth and asked the question that had been hidden in her heart the longest:
Ye Chuan, are you... really still you?
In the divine tomb, that old geezer Xuan Qiong tried to possess your body, and your cultivation has skyrocketed so absurdly... She paused, her tone carrying a hint of caution.
I'm not doubting you, it's just... I'm afraid your body was taken over by something.
Looking at her serious face, Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Don't worry, I am who I am.
Hearing this, Ji Lingxuan seemed to look at Ye Chuan earnestly. Finally, the solemnity on her face dissipated, and she couldn't help but laugh:
True, this aura of yours is something others can't imitate.
Ye Chuan shrugged, as if remembering something.
But speaking of which, after breaking through to the peak of the Ascension Realm, I did notice something amiss.
Something amiss? Like what? Ji Lingxuan asked.
With my current cultivation, I can completely communicate with the origin dao principles of the Tianxuan Continent. The four great divine continents, the endless Demonic Sea, and even the Dragon Clan's secret realm in the deep sea, or the hidden sects in the extreme frigid lands—I can clearly sense them all, Ye Chuan continued.
But the very center of the Tianxuan Continent, that specific area, I can't sense at all. It's like a blank void, completely shielded by something. Even the laws of the Heavenly Dao detour around it.
He looked up at Ji Lingxuan. What exactly is the background of that place?
Hearing the words the very center of the Tianxuan Continent, Ji Lingxuan's expression instantly changed.
She slammed her teacup heavily onto the table and lowered her voice even more, carrying a trace of imperceptible dread. Are you talking about the Forbidden Land?
The Forbidden Land? Ye Chuan raised his eyebrows, repeating the name.
Yes, Ji Lingxuan nodded, her tone incredibly grave. That is the Tianxuan Continent's only absolute forbidden zone for the past ten thousand years. Even mighty figures at the Ascension Realm absolutely do not dare to lightly set foot in it.
She paused and slowly explained, Ancient texts in the Taichu Holy Land record that millions of years ago, when cultivators established the heavens and mapped the realms, this Forbidden Land was the only place they dared not touch. They merely erected stone steles on its outskirts, strictly forbidding all cultivators from entering.
The ancient texts state that the Forbidden Land is the origin of the Tianxuan Continent, and also its end. It hides the origin secrets of the entire world, but equally, it hides terrifying things capable of annihilating all of Tianxuan.
Over the past ten thousand years, it's not that there haven't been skeptical mighty figures who forced their way in, but without exception, all went in and never returned. Not even a shred of their divine souls managed to escape.
As time passed, this place became an absolute forbidden zone. Even the patriarchs of the major holy lands keep their mouths tightly shut when the Forbidden Land is mentioned.
After listening, Ye Chuan fell into slight thought.
Actually, he had been inside.
During his text adventure, he had died at the time and randomly respawned over there.
It was also there that he picked up a jade pendant containing Lilith.
But very quickly, he was slaughtered by something, though fortunately, he managed to bring the jade pendant out with him.
Yet Lilith was clearly a witch from the Aether Continent, an existence from a completely different world than the Tianxuan Continent.
Why would her remnant soul appear in the core Forbidden Land of the Tianxuan Continent?
Moreover...
Hmm... Ye Chuan remained silent for a while. Perhaps it's a different timeline of the same continent?
