　　Soon, one after another, warriors at the Reckless Self realm and the Star-Plucking realm began to empty their minds and sit cross-legged.
　　Ye Wushuang sat in place, emptying his body and mind, as fish of various hues—red, white, green, gold, and more—swam toward and merged into his body.
　　In just a few breaths, nine small fish of different colors fused into his body.
　　Ye Wushuang stood up and strode toward the second layer.
　　As Ye Wushuang rose, others around him also got up one by one, heading for the second layer.
　　In the blink of an eye, only about seven or eight people remained on the first layer.
　　On the second layer, everyone still sat one by one.
　　And　so　on…
　　Soon, only a little over twenty people qualified on the second layer.
　　By the third layer, only about seven or eight remained qualified.
　　And by the fourth layer, only two were left.
　　Zhou Yuan.
　　Ye Wushuang.
　　Seeing Ye Wushuang quickly fuse with the fish and advance to the next layer each time, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but marvel, “The Thousand Fish Mystic Diagram has nine layers at most. Right now, reaching the fourth layer is already incredibly difficult！”
　　Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Indeed, for the vast majority of martial artists in the world, the third layer is their limit.”
　　”Reaching the fourth layer makes one an ordinary genius.”
　　”Reaching the fifth layer makes one a rare genius.”
　　”Reaching the sixth layer can already be called a prodigy of heaven.”
　　”As for the seventh layer, only a peerless monster can reach it.”
　　”Reaching the eighth layer can be called the level of a born saint.”
　　”And the ninth layer… is a once-in-a-hundred-lifetimes existence！”
　　Zhou Yuan said with a smile, “Then I should be able to reach the seventh layer.”
　　”Not necessarily！”
　　Zhou Yuan curled his lips and said, “I became a saint eight thousand years ago, and my bone age was less than a hundred at that time. You’re just twenty now and already at the late stage of Star-Plucking Realm. You’ll probably become a saint before thirty. Although I’m not as good as you, the gap isn’t that big！”
　　”Go ask around in the Xuanyuan Domain—Zhou Yuan of the Zhou Clan, a peerless monster. That’s no exaggeration！”
　　Zhou Yuan was quite indignant at being looked down upon by Ye Wushuang.
　　Ye Wushuang smiled without saying a word.
　　Zhou Yuan added, “And you, kid, how far can you go？”
　　”Me？”
　　Ye Wushuang looked toward the entrance of the fifth layer and said, “A once-in-a-hundred-lifetimes existence—that’s me！”
　　”Hmph~”
　　After a brief pause, the two headed toward the fifth layer.
　　Once again, their figures paused as nine vividly colored fish swam to them and merged.
　　Then came the sixth layer… the seventh layer…
　　Upon reaching the seventh layer, Zhou Yuan had only eight fish by his side, with the final one persistently refusing to merge.
　　”Senior, the profound mysteries of this seventh layer are already an immense boon. They might even help you advance another level in soul comprehension, allowing for rapid progress once you restore your former realm. Don”t miss this opportunity！” Ye Wushuang spoke earnestly and solemnly, his steps already carrying him toward the eighth layer.
　　”Screw off！”
　　Seeing Ye Wushuang head for the eighth layer, Zhou Yuan cursed.
　　Then, sitting cross-legged, Zhou Yuan began to meditate and comprehend.
　　Though he bickered with Ye Wushuang, Zhou Yuan understood in his heart that this young man’s potential was truly limitless！
　　In the future, Ye Wushuang’s name would undoubtedly resound across all major domains, as he became an invincible sage！
　　Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang arrived at the eighth layer, where nine fish once again coalesced around him and merged.
　　Without pause, Ye Wushuang stepped into the ninth layer.
　　Upon reaching the ninth layer, Ye Wushuang suddenly felt as though he had been transported into a vast, primordial expanse of heaven and earth.
　　Everything around him was entirely different from the world within Tuotian City.
　　With every breath, an enigmatic aura enveloped his entire being.
　　”This is… immortal qi, albeit diluted several times over！”
　　Ye Wushuang’s eyes widened in shock.
　　Could his speculation be correct？
　　This place truly is the ruins of an immortal！
　　At this moment, his entire surroundings turned into an ocean-like expanse, shimmering with starlight that swirled around Ye Wushuang, as countless fish, like a tidal wave of fish, surged into his body.
　　The　next　moment.
　　Boom……
　　A low, rumbling explosion erupted from within Ye Wushuang’s body.
　　In an instant, Ye Wushuang’s eyes and the thoughts in his mind became like mirrors, reflecting every detail of himself.
　　From the Body Refinement Realm to his current Star-Plucking Realm, every breakthrough, every cultivation of martial techniques, their evolution, release, and eruption—all flashed before him like a series of images at this moment.
　　And in this process of reflection, Ye Wushuang clearly saw the flaws he had overlooked.
　　Even though he strived for perfection in every breakthrough and believed he had achieved it, in the end… there were still imperfections.
　　These scenes flashed by one by one, until finally, nine images came to a halt.
　　At this moment, Ye Wushuang felt as if he had returned to the times depicted in those nine images, breaking through and cultivating anew, reshaping his past self.
　　This feeling was incredibly profound！
　　With each successive change, Ye Wushuang could distinctly sense his body undergoing the most minute transformations！
　　Though these changes were minuscule, they represented the final 0.01% of perfection—the most crucial part！
　　In　an　instant.
　　The roaring within his body erupted once more, power surged and entwined, and Ye Wushuang clearly felt a sublimation within himself！
　　Mystical.
　　Heart-stirring.
　　This feeling was just like the first time he felt his heart skip a beat for Qing Shiyu.
　　It was unforgettable, impossible to erase from memory！
　　Then, Ye Wushuang summoned the Sacred Heaven Sword.
　　The moment the Sacred Heaven Sword appeared, the fish swimming around swiftly approached, seemingly nibbling at the sword.
　　But suddenly.
　　A phantom-like figure emerged, swirling out from within the Sacred Heaven Sword.
　　”Xu Ziyin！”
　　Ye Wushuang stared at the figure dragged out by the fish and froze momentarily.
　　”No wonder you lost this sword to Yin Shenghao—you left a backup plan！”
　　The fish crushed and devoured the remnants of Xu Ziyin’s consciousness, then spat out tiny bubbles that merged into the Sacred Heaven Sword, making it even more spiritually attuned.
　　”Marvelous！”
　　Ye Wushuang exclaimed in admiration.
　　Who would have thought the Thousand Fish Mystic Diagram could even repair flaws within spiritual weapons！
　　The Thousand Fish Mystique Diagram is a type of magical formation, and the abilities bestowed upon it by each person who sets it up are all different. Ye Wushuang couldn’t even determine what exact capabilities this formation possessed！
　　”In　that　case…”
　　Ye Wushuang quickly retrieved the hundreds of Emperor-grade spiritual weapons stored within the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower one by one.
　　Some of these weapons were obtained from slain enemies, while most were scavenged from Tao Qingyang’s ancient ruins last time.
　　One by one, the little fish swarmed forward again, enveloping each spiritual weapon.
　　The fish either absorbed the fragmented weapon patterns within the spiritual weapons or drew out flaws on their surfaces, then spat out tiny bubbles to repair them.
　　Soon, the hundreds of Emperor-grade spiritual weapons gleamed even more brilliantly！
　　How miraculous！
　　Ye Wushuang felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and suddenly, an even more fantastical idea popped into his mind.
