Chapter 15: Ignoring Boundaries!
Nan Ling Zhao went down, slowly closing her eyes, thinking about what Ye Tianming had just said.
Ye Tianming saw that the wound on her abdomen was slowly healing, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Clearly, the medicinal pill she had swallowed earlier was effective. He took out a clean cloth and began to bandage her wound.
Actually, her real problem was weakness. Earlier, she had forcibly activated the Inspector’s Seal, consuming too much energy, leaving her completely exhausted.
At this moment, Nan Ling Zhao suddenly opened her eyes, “Faith… this world doesn’t need a living savior. Any living savior is just a person, and human power is limited. Nothing can compare to genuine eternal faith…”
Saying this, she looked at Ye Tianming, “You spoke those words so well.”
Ye Tianming said, “I was just saying whatever came to mind.”
Nan Ling Zhao shook her head, “Not only were those words well-spoken, more importantly, you dared to say them. Others wouldn’t dare say such things even if beaten to death. You actually dared to say the Guanxuan Sword Master shouldn’t have appeared… your courage is extraordinary.”
Ye Tianming said, “Doesn’t the Guanxuan Law state freedom of speech?”
Nan Ling Zhao shook her head with a smile without speaking. Not even a ghost would believe that.
Ye Tianming asked, “Are we still going to the Guanxuan Realm?”
Nan Ling Zhao said seriously, “Of course.”
Ye Tianming said, “After your wound heals, shall we fly there?”
“What are you thinking?”
Nan Ling Zhao laughed, “The journey to the Guanxuan Realm is very distant. Not just you and me, even those at the Saint Realm would need at least a year of flight to reach the Guanxuan Realm. We must use a teleportation array. With the teleportation array, we’ll arrive in just one hour.”
Ye Tianming said, “Do we need to go to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion?”
Nan Ling Zhao said, “No need. Our Inspection Agency has a separate teleportation array, several hundred miles from here. Once I recover some energy, we’ll set off immediately.”
Ye Tianming nodded, “Good.”
As he spoke, he tore off a large piece from his robe and completely wrapped Nan Ling Zhao’s exposed abdomen.
Nan Ling Zhao suddenly took out a pill to restore her energy and swallowed it. Then she tried to stand up, but her body was still weak. As soon as she stood, she almost fell. Ye Tianming quickly supported her.
Nan Ling Zhao looked around, then said, “We need to find a hidden place…”
She turned to look at Ye Tianming, “Do you know how to fly on a sword?”
Ye Tianming shook his head.
Tower Ancestor had only taught him the Heaven-Cleaving Sword Technique, not yet the Sword Flying Art. Of course, he wasn’t particularly interested in sword flying either.
Nan Ling Zhao looked around, then she looked to the right, “Help me go that way.”
Ye Tianming nodded, then supported her as they walked to the right. But because it was a mountain path, the road was extremely difficult to walk on. Additionally, Nan Ling Zhao was wearing a dress, which caught on branches every few steps, making it very inconvenient.
Ye Tianming said, “Inspector Zhao, let me carry you on my back.”
As he spoke, he took out a robe from his storage ring and placed it on his back, then squatted down in front of Nan Ling Zhao.
Nan Ling Zhao looked at the robe on Ye Tianming’s back. She didn’t refuse and leaned onto Ye Tianming’s back. Because of the robe between them, they didn’t have direct contact, which reduced much of the awkwardness.
Ye Tianming carried her toward the distance. Although he was carrying a peerless beauty on his back, Ye Tianming didn’t have any inappropriate thoughts. His mind was completely focused on how to improve his strength, because he realized that the so-called Guanxuan Divine Law was useless in this world.
There were far too many people and groups above the law.
The law only applied to common people.
Strength was the true way!
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young one, this girl’s strength seems to have recovered somewhat.”
Ye Tianming said, “I know.”
Little Tower exclaimed, “You know?”
Ye Tianming didn’t speak.
Little Tower said, “She’s deliberately staying here…”
Ye Tianming said, “I know.”
Little Tower asked puzzledly, “Why is she doing this?”
Ye Tianming said, “Because if we were to head to the Inspection Agency’s teleportation array now, we would definitely be fiercely attacked by the Xiao family. The Xiao family is now desperate, and they would do anything. So, staying here is actually the safest option. Moreover, this young lady is very intelligent and has surely called for reinforcements.”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “Actually, I knew all along. I was just testing you. You really haven’t disappointed me.”
Ye Tianming said, “As long as Tower Ancestor is happy.”
Little Tower: “…”
Soon, Ye Tianming carried Nan Ling Zhao to a natural cave. It wasn’t deep and was quite cool. He spread the robe on a rock and gently placed Nan Ling Zhao on it.
Nan Ling Zhao found a comfortable position against the rock wall. She looked at Ye Tianming, “You should go to the Martial Hall of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.”
Ye Tianming didn’t speak, but took out a steamed bun from his storage ring and handed it to her.
Nan Ling Zhao didn’t refuse. She took the bun, took a bite, and then said, “This technique you created has immense potential. It could very possibly become ‘God-level,’ or even ‘Emperor-level.’ Of course, that’s certainly not your limit…”
Ye Tianming was curious, “Martial Hall?”
Nan Ling Zhao said, “It’s a special department established by the founder of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion. It can be said to be the highest martial arts institution in our Guanxuan Universe. The fact that our Guanxuan Universe’s martial civilization has caught up with various eras in such a short time is largely due to their contribution. Inside, it’s full of various martial arts geniuses. They spend all day researching various techniques, martial arts, and divine abilities, not only creating but also innovating. And those fanatics, their lifelong pursuit is to create something that ‘transcends levels’…”
Seeing the confusion in Ye Tianming’s eyes, Nan Ling Zhao explained, “In our Guanxuan Universe, all techniques, martial arts, divine abilities, and various laws are divided into nine levels: Initial, Advanced, Earth, Heaven, Immortal, God, Emperor, Dao, Touch Truth, Break Circle, and the current highest level: Transcendent Level.”
Ye Tianming became curious, “Transcendent Level?”
Nan Ling Zhao smiled, “Transcendent Level means exactly what it sounds like. It can transcend any level. Let me give you an example. The technique used by the Guanxuan Sword Master, ‘Universe Guanxuan Law,’ belongs to the ‘Transcendent’ level. Cultivating this technique has no limitations; one can absorb any energy in the universe. Not only his cultivation technique, but the sword technique ‘Guanxuan’ he later created also belongs to ‘Transcendent.’ Once this sword technique is used, it can transcend all levels. Also, his Qingxuan Sword also belongs to the ‘Transcendent Level.'”
Ye Tianming nodded slightly, “I understand.”
Nan Ling Zhao said softly, “For a thousand years, apart from the Guanxuan Sword Master, there hasn’t been any ‘Transcendent Level’ creation. If anyone in later generations could create one, whether it’s a technique, martial art, divine ability, or law… they would definitely go down in history.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Tianming.
Ye Tianming shook his head, “To create such a heaven-defying technique would require countless accumulations and practical experience. I don’t have those conditions.”
Nan Ling Zhao nodded, “That’s true. However, the fact that you could create such a technique under those conditions proves your talent. If you could join the Martial Hall of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion…”
At this point, she stopped speaking.
Because she knew that for Ye Tianming to enter the Martial Hall would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Joining would mean crossing classes, and not just one or two, but more than a dozen classes, becoming one of the core talents of the Guanxuan Universe in one step. Not only would he enjoy the incredibly generous allowances of the Guanxuan Universe, but he would also be listed as a key protected individual of the Guanxuan Universe.
Most terrifyingly, no matter what mistakes you had made in the past, once you joined, all would be forgiven.
In other words, if Ye Tianming could join, not just the Xiao family, but even first-class families couldn’t harm him.
But she knew clearly that it was almost impossible for Ye Tianming to join. Not only was the threshold extremely high, more importantly, the Martial Hall only offered two spots every five years. And for these two spots, second-class families didn’t even have the right to think about them. Even first-class families would fight desperately for them, even coming to blows.
Because joining the Martial Hall meant you could freely learn all the techniques, martial arts, divine abilities, and laws inside.
Even first-class families would fight desperately for this opportunity, let alone ordinary people.
Ordinary people had no advantages against these first-class families… Even if you were extraordinarily talented, with abilities not inferior to the core disciples of first-class families, you still couldn’t compare to them because their connections were beyond your imagination. Taking a step back, even if you did get a spot, as long as you didn’t have a super powerful figure protecting you, they would still find ways to take your spot.
And what kind of powerful figure would be needed to suppress these terrifying sects and families?
Undoubtedly, it had to be a core member of the Yang family, because the Celestial Treasure Pavilion only obeyed the Yang family. Even the Chief Minister of the Inner Cabinet, if not from the Yang family, would only be respected if they chose to respect him; if they didn’t want to give face, there was nothing he could do about it.
But then again, if you knew a core member of the Yang family, would you still care about a spot in the Martial Hall?
Eventually, the two spots offered by the Martial Hall every five years were predetermined by those first-class families. To avoid conflicts, those first-class families tacitly followed an unwritten rule: taking turns. This time it’s your two families, next time it’s our two families.
Ye Tianming suddenly said, “Inspector Zhao, my Ye family…”
Nan Ling Zhao returned from her thoughts and smiled, “Don’t worry about the Ye family. My friends are all very strong; they will take good care of the Ye family. Also, I’ve notified my Nan Ling family, and they’ve sent some powerful experts to Qingzhou City…”
Ye Tianming looked at her, “Inspector Zhao, you’ve helped me so much. I really don’t know how to thank you. I…”
