A journey others couldn’t complete in three hundred or even three thousand years, Ye Wushuang has already finished.
And yet…
Ye Wushuang’s current true bone age is less than nineteen, with a lifespan limit of eight thousand years.
In his subsequent cultivation, his aging process will be extremely slow.
By the time Ye Wushuang reaches the Sage Heaven Realm, with a lifespan of ten thousand years, even after several hundred or thousand years, he might still look like this eighteen or nineteen-year-old.
Take Elder Lin Yunhan, for example—his lifespan limit is also eight thousand years, but by the time he reached the Star Picking Realm, several hundred years had already passed, and he no longer looked young. Coupled with the Lin family’s struggles under constant suppression over the years, Elder Lin Yunhan’s exhausting efforts have drained his lifespan, naturally making him appear much older.
Just like Su Chenyang, who looked very aged when he first returned to the Central Continent, but after taking that step beyond the Star Picking Realm to achieve Half-Step Sagehood, his entire appearance became somewhat younger.
The higher a martial artist’s realm, the younger their appearance tends to be, often signifying boundless potential.
Of course, this isn’t the only standard.
Injuries, exhaustion, and stress can all significantly affect a martial artist’s appearance.
Dusk fell.
After Ye Wushuang, Lin Yunhan, Qing Xuan, Xuan Tiansheng, and others finished discussing matters, Hall Master Qing Xuan also left with his entourage.
In the evening.
Inside a room in the manor.
Ye Wushuang, Lin Yunhan, Xuan Tiansheng, Xuan Tiandi, Xuan Qingyi, Muge, and Lin Tianyou gathered.
”Sir…”
Lin Yunhan seemed to shed all pretense at this moment, kneeling on the ground, looking at Ye Wushuang with reddened eyes： “My sister…”
”I know！”
Ye Wushuang gently helped Lin Yunhan up and then said： “Qi Zhenzhong, Qi Zhentian, Qi Zhenshan, along with over twenty Stellar Transformation experts from the Qi family, have all perished.”
”Xing Hanwen, Nangong Shang, Yun Quyan, Yun Quyin are also dead.”
”I have avenged Yun Jin, but this isn’t enough. I will make the Spirit Sword Pavilion pay an even greater price！”
For a moment, Lin Yunhan was overwhelmed with tears.
He and his sister had grown up together, cultivated together, and supported each other through the Lin family’s most difficult times. Just as everything seemed to be improving with the return of Lord Lingshengtian, his sister had died！
”In this Tuotian City, it seems we won’t have an easy time taking action,” Xuan Tiansheng said. “Otherwise, our combined forces could make the Spirit Sword Pavilion pay a heavy price.”
Having reached the Saint Heaven Realm, Xuan Tiansheng clearly understood the immense changes he had undergone.
”Hard！” Lin Tianyou said at this moment： “Xu Mingxiu has also obtained a fortuitous encounter and reached the Heavenly Saint Realm.”
”Huh？”
Xuan Tiansheng was stunned.
Xu Mingxiu himself was indeed a genius. After taking over the leadership of the Spirit Sword Pavilion from Xu Ziyin, his performance was outstanding.
Back then, the internal strife within the Spirit Sword Pavilion caused heavy losses, but under Xu Mingxiu’s leadership, the pavilion has largely restored its standards to those of the Spirit Saint Heaven era over the years.
This is not something an ordinary person could achieve！
”It seems this Void Land is truly marvelous. Everyone here has encountered tremendous opportunities during this time.”
Xuan Tiandi said calmly： “If that’s the case, after this journey ends, the inevitable battle in the Central Lands will likely be even bloodier than before.”
”At least for now, our alliance can already stand toe-to-toe with the Spirit Sword Pavilion！”
”Exactly.”
As the group talked up to this point, the atmosphere seemed less oppressive.
Ye Wushuang finally asked at this moment： “Where’s Shiyu？”
Ever since seeing the group gathered without spotting Qing Shiyu and the Cangyan Lingque, Ye Wushuang had wanted to ask but only found the opportunity now.
At this question, everyone fell silent.
”Let me explain.”
Lin Tianyou spoke up： “After we initially separated, Qing Shiyu and I stayed together. In this Void Land, we also moved as a pair.”
”But later, Qing Shiyu said she wanted to go to a place, and… alone！”
Alone？
Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
”I tried to stop her, but she was very firm and asked me to tell you, sir, not to worry about her.”
”I couldn’t rest easy, so I sent the Cangyan Lingque with her, but until now, there’s been no news…”
Lin Tianyou looked at Ye Wushuang and couldn’t help saying, “Sir, she…”
”It’s fine！”
Ye Wushuang exhaled and smiled, “Since she decided to go alone, she must have discovered something. This is also a form of training for her.”
After some thought, Lin Tianyou added, “Before we parted, Qing Shiyu had already reached the mid-stage of the Stellar Transformation Realm. Her rate of advancement… was too fast！”
Mid-stage Stellar Transformation？
Everyone present was stunned.
Isn’t she just a female version of Ye Wushuang？
”Moreover, I felt everything was fine at first, but later, in a hidden place, she obtained an opportunity, reached the Stellar Transformation Realm, and seemed preoccupied, as if she was always downcast…”
Lin Tianyou continued, “I asked her several times, but she only said she was worried about you.”
The bond between Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu, as they progressed step by step to this day, was already an open secret.
Everyone could see it clearly.
At present, Qing Shiyu is experiencing some unpredictable circumstances, and Lin Tianyou feels he should make things clear.
”I understand.”
Ye Wushuang immediately stood up and said, “It’s fine, I believe she’ll be alright.”
From the Qingyun Empire to the current Central Continent, in less than four years, Ye Wushuang has been driven by vengeance for his ninth and eighth lives. During this time, Qing Shiyu’s experiences have also helped her grow step by step.
”In this Tuotian City, the profound mysteries of the world’s primal qi hold great benefits for each of your cultivations. Cherish every day spent here.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Let’s all focus on our cultivation. Tomorrow, we”ll explore the ancient city and uncover its mysteries！”
”Mm.”
”Alright.”
With those words, Ye Wushuang opened the door, stepped onto the corridor, and looked up at the night sky.
”Tonight, I”ll go out and investigate—where exactly do the so-called rules of Tuotian City come from！”
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang took a step forward…
The expressions of the people inside the room varied.
Lin Yunhan worriedly said, “Going alone… it”s too dangerous…”
”Don”t worry about him！”
Xuan Tiandi chuckled and said, “Do you know how Xing Hanwen died？”
”Huh？”
”He was slain by Lord Ling Shengtian with a single sword strike—even the Mountain-Suppressing Yuan Cauldron couldn”t block that blow！”
Lin Yunhan and Lin Tianyou, father and son, had their faces drastically changed.
Is this something that can be achieved even by someone at the late-stage of Star-Plucking Realm？
”Tell us in detail！” Lin Yunhan said with eager anticipation.
Ever since learning that Ye Wushuang was Ling Shengtian, Lin Yunhan had been looking forward to this day.
He had been hoping for Ye Wushuang to return to the heights of his past life.
Now, it seems that day is not far off！
Xuan Tiansheng, Xuan Tiandi, and the others were pestered by Lin Yunhan and Lin Tianyou, father and son, to recount the might of Ye Wushuang’s sword strike until late at night before it finally ended.
The group then dispersed to their rooms to cultivate and rest.
On the way.
Mu Ge looked at his wife, Xuan Qingyi, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you worried about him？”
Xuan Qingyi was taken aback, then smiled and said, “What is there to worry about him？”
