Chapter 133: Shangxuan, Defeated!

Upon returning to Cloud Sea World again, everything seems to be following the path of their past lives.

Shang Wuyang, full of confidence, arrived in Cloud Sea World causing quite a stir. Immortal Su Yuan felt anxious and would occasionally report on the movements of Shang Wuyang and his companions.

In her past life, Wen Yun felt anxious with Immortal Su Yuan. In this life, she sees Shang Wuyang as a dead man.

Compared to the dead man Shang Wuyang, the Supreme Immortal Shangxuan behind him is the real danger. If he succeeds in his goal to control all realms, it will be like the people in that "perfect world" being ruled by the so-called Heavenly Dao.

Wen Yun sighed, challenged another round of Cloud Sea Tower from memory, then flew back to her Cloud Island.

Immortal Su Yuan called out to her several times as she walked away, but he got no response. He sighed and continued to wait, planning to go home together with Ye Shubai after he came out.

Since moving to Cloud Island, Wen Yun has been unpredictable in her whereabouts, even confusing Immortal Su Yuan.

"Huh? With her personality, shouldn’t she be dragging this old man around Cloud Sea City to wander and buy odd gadgets? Why does she disappear every time after leaving Cloud Sea Tower? Look, this time she went back to Cloud Island without waiting for you again."

Ye Shubai stood silently on Cloud Island, gazing in a direction and lost in thought for a while before calmly responding, "Perhaps she is practicing her skills. Wen Yun is always meticulous and has her reasons for everything. There’s no need for concern, senior."

"She disappears whenever she gets the chance to. Aren’t you worried?" Immortal Su Yuan adjusted his white beard and looked keenly at Ye Shubai, "Come to think of it, every time we arrive at Cloud Sea World, she seems to be avoiding you on purpose. I suddenly recall that the Wing Clan member used to live near our Cloud Island. Although that fellow was a bit flamboyant, he was quite good-looking. The Little Yun girl has always liked pretty things…"

Before Immortal Su Yuan could spread more gossip, a handful of Cloud Soil landed accurately on his face.

The old sword cultivator wiped mud off his face and was about to scold when he turned and saw Wen Yun smiling mysteriously while cleaning mud off her hands.

Hearing someone talking about him from behind, Immortal Su Yuan awkwardly smiled and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"When you mentioned me avoiding Little Bai on purpose," Wen Yun replied with a friendly smile.

Feeling guilty, Immortal Su Yuan nervously chuckled and walked back down the mountain, saying, "Oh, I just remembered the house we were building wasn’t finished. I’ll go check on it while the weather is nice today… You two take your time chatting."

With him gone, only Wen Yun and Ye Shubai were left on the peak.

Immortal Su Yuan’s words were true. Since arriving at Cloud Sea World, Wen Yun had intentionally avoided Ye Shubai except when she challenged the Cloud Sea Tower from memory.

Wen Yun bit her lip, unsure how to explain this to Ye Shubai.

She wanted to stay by Ye Shubai’s side day and night, but since coming to Cloud Sea World, she felt the looming threat above her head getting closer to Ye Shubai’s heart with each passing day.

Wen Yun was the only one who knew what the future held, silently bearing this invisible pressure alone.

You can’t tell Ye Shubai that an old weirdo at Dongxuan World is peeking at you from time to time. I’m trying to stay out of his sight, so I’ve been avoiding you on purpose.

Wen Yun thought for a moment and decided to explain, "I wasn’t going to play with that winged person, and he’s not as good-looking as you."

Ye Shubai listened quietly until she finished explaining. His clear eyes showed no sign of doubt, and he nodded naturally, "Hmm, I understand."

Huh? What do you understand? Do you understand that you are better-looking than Yi Yu?

As soon as Ye Shubai saw the expression on Wen Yun’s face, he knew she was thinking the wrong way again. He helplessly raised his hand to pat her head and discreetly removed the fragment of the Origin Crystal that had somehow fallen on top of it.

"I know you’re doing something important, not just playing around."

Wen Yun didn’t notice his actions. She looked up at Ye Shubai, feeling like his reaction was a bit off.

Considering his jealous nature, shouldn’t he be making some sarcastic remarks? She had already prepared comforting words, so why was Ye Shubai suddenly so understanding, without a hint of sarcasm?

But Wen Yun didn’t have time to think about it. She furrowed her brows, looked up at the sky, and let out a barely audible sigh.

In a past life, the chief of the Giant Spirit Clan told Wen Yun that Supreme Immortal Shangxuan once disappeared in the Northern Wilderness, around the time when Shang Wuyang arrived in the Cloud Sea World.

It seems that Supreme Immortal Shangxuan was caught up in other matters during this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have ignored Shang Wuyang’s fall.

So, he must have been too preoccupied to pay attention to Ye Shubai.

Wen Yun looked at Ye Shubai, took his hand, and said solemnly, "I need you to do something for me."

Without asking why, Ye Shubai nodded without hesitation and followed Wen Yun to a strange Cloud Island.

The Cloud Island was deserted, similar to the others, but it was surrounded by a hidden temporal law fluctuation that only Ye Shubai and Wen Yun could perceive due to their Divine Soul Contract.

Ye Shubai just raised an eyebrow slightly at the sight and didn’t ask any more questions.

Wen Yun cleared her throat, pointed at a peculiar large stone on the edge of the Cloud Island, and said seriously, "We’ve been in Cloud Sea World for a while now, and you haven’t really taught me swordsmanship. Let’s give it a try today. Go ahead and strike that stone with your strongest sword strike, remember to use the Power of Rules, just aim for the stone, not the island."

After giving detailed instructions, Ye Shubai looked at the stone that resembled a person, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He said, "Okay."

Wen Yun was so surprised by his smile that she didn’t react in time. Suddenly, she felt a powerful sword intent bursting out from Ye Shubai’s body. Then, a golden-red phoenix flew out, swiftly soaring towards a stone. In an instant, the hard boulder turned into white dust and disappeared with a gentle breeze.

Seeing this, Wen Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Shubai’s sword skills were indeed precise. Apart from the valuable Origin Crystal, worth thousands, which shattered into dust and was said to be the most suitable for a defense treasure, not even a blade of Cloud Grass next to the stone was cut off.

Wait!

Wen Yun stared at the phoenix formed by the laws of life and death, feeling that something was amiss.

If she remembered correctly, Ye Shubai had not yet fully mastered the laws of life and death. So, his phoenix had always been half-real and half-illusion. However, the one before her seemed vividly alive, almost like a real creature! Moreover, the laws of life and death on it were terrifyingly strong. Although not as perfect as Supreme Immortal Shangxuan’s, the intensity was far beyond what she had seen in her past life.

Could this be an extraordinary occurrence brought about by Little Bai’s exceptional performance this time?

Wen Yun glanced at Ye Shubai and noticed that his breath had weakened slightly. It seemed that he had indeed used all his strength in this move, without holding back.

Ye Shubai was watching Wen Yun, but instead of urging her to practice sword fighting like usual, he unexpectedly asked, "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Yes, of course.

The next day on Cloud Island, Wen Yun silently took out a large rock from her space bag, just like the one she had carved into the shape of a person the day before.

Ye Shubai raised his sword and with one swing, he delivered a blow containing the laws of life and death that Wen Yun had been anticipating.

A burst of golden-red light flashed before Wen Yun’s eyes. Without fully seeing Ye Shubai’s movement, she witnessed the new rock turning to dust again.

This strike was even stronger than the one from yesterday!

Wen Yun looked at Ye Shubai suspiciously, her mind filled with uncertainty and surprise.

Really?

How come Ye Shubai’s strength is so different from what she remembered? Could it be that he had been hiding his true power all this time?

Wen Yun always felt that something was wrong, but she was glad to see Ye Shubai’s sudden improvement. She was too busy preparing for the final battle, so she had to work harder every day, training with Ye Shubai to wield a sword.

After a long and anxious wait, finally, the day arrived.

*

Cloud Sea City collapsed, and White Cloud City was established, inviting friends from all realms to gather.

It was a wonderful morning, the newly built city was bustling with extravagance. In White Cloud City, one could see various decorations everywhere, from birds to animals, regardless of race or gender. All the residents of White Cloud City were busy preparing for the upcoming feast.

The merchants wanted to promote their newly opened shops in White Cloud City to people from all walks of life. The ordinary residents, having experienced the tragedy of Cloud Sea City, also wanted to join in the excitement. Everywhere in the city was filled with laughter and joy. Various special foods were displayed at their doorsteps, ready to entertain guests who would come from afar in the next month. Under the cover of clouds and mist, the entire city looked as beautiful as a heavenly market.

Cui Yu from the Wing clan called out to Wen Yun, "Island Master, your dress is ready! When will you come to try it on?"

Thanks to their early arrival, the Wing clan now held one of the best positions in Cloud Sea City. Previously, they could only set up a small stall in Cloud Sea City, but now they proudly owned five connected storefronts in White Cloud City, becoming the largest magic shop in the city.

Cui Yu, full of excitement now, joyfully greeted Wen Yun and Ye Shubai with a beaming bird-like smile.

Wen Yun held tightly onto what she had in her hand, giving him a smile before saying, "I’ll be back soon."

Cui Yu paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the thick scrolls in Wen Yun’s hands, and he couldn’t help but be surprised, "Are you planning to sell those scrolls?"

However, he didn’t get an answer as the couple had already crossed through the crowd and rushed towards the outskirts of White Cloud City.

There, a strong and unmistakable aura was rising.

Wen Yun felt a fire burning in her chest, making it hard for her to stay calm.

She succeeded in this life without disturbing the butterfly’s wings, calmly luring her prey into the trap she had set long ago.

According to Wen Yun’s calculations, Supreme Immortal Shangxuan appeared at the same time and place!

Wen Yun didn’t have time to explain to Ye Shubai, but he didn’t seem to want to ask for reasons either, quietly following her lead.

As they neared the city gate, Ye Shubai raised the Phoenix Tree Sword in his hand, like a ghostly white shadow, stabbing straight towards the figure outside the city.

Wen Yun’s eyes widened in surprise. Ye Shubai’s actions were completely unexpected!

But she reacted quickly, raising her hand and unleashing a scroll towards the person outside the city at the same time as Ye Shubai made his move.

In the past life, she was not skilled enough, and this life… well, she was still not skilled enough, so she had to sneak attack!

However, she never expected that Ye Shubai would join her in the sneak attack.

What she never anticipated was Supreme Immortal Shangxuan.

Just as he arrived outside White Cloud City, before he could even speak, he sensed a dangerous aura heading towards him.

Supreme Immortal Shangxuan instinctively raised his hand to defend himself, but in that split second, another force of spatial law erupted.

The scenery before him seemed to be replaced by a mysterious power under the influence of the formation.

The bustling city noises disappeared, and the vast White Cloud City vanished in the blink of an eye, turning into a desolate Cloud Island!

Even though there was no one around, the only people appearing in front of Supreme Immortal Shangxuan were a young man and woman. It was clear from their prepared look that they had already planned for this.

Everything happened so quickly that even Supreme Immortal Shangxuan was a bit shocked.

Besides the days chasing after Fairy Mercy, he had been closely observing Ye Shubai’s every move. His visit to Cloud Sea World was secretive; the other party shouldn’t have known he was coming.

Shangxuan stayed quiet for a moment, coldly lifting his head to look at Ye Shubai, saying, "It seems you’ve guessed who I am."

Ye Shubai stood calmly among the Cloud Grass, his grip tight on his sword, but his tone remained casual, "Of course."

Shangxuan frowned and said, "I have come to get something back from you."

The young man opposite him did not show any intention to inquire further, and replied with an extremely cold voice, "That does not belong to you."

Shangxuan was about to speak when he noticed the girl opposite him, whom he had been ignoring, suddenly gave a smile.

"Do you mean to say that the laws of life and death on him were granted by you?"

Shangxuan quickly looked at Wen Yun, gazed at her for a long time, then nodded slightly and said, "You know a lot."

He had been paying attention to Ye Shubai and hadn’t really noticed this girl before, but he didn’t expect her to know about this.

Wen Yun stared at Shangxuan closely and secretly plunged the dragon bone wand in her hand into Cloud Island.

Even though her face appeared surprised, she disguised it well, seeming genuinely shocked. She raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Oh? I actually guessed right. So, does that mean Little Bai has to call you master? Let me think, your only disciple was killed by him, so are you trying to take him on as a new successor?"

"But…" Wen Yun paused, her voice filled with a hint of amusement. "What exactly is being inherited? Could it be the celestial will that you stole?"

The gaze of Supreme Immortal Shangxuan turned cold in an instant. At the same time, he took a step toward Wen Yun and said sternly, "You are a disciple of Yang Xuan!"

Besides Yang Xuan, he couldn’t imagine anyone else revealing the secrets of the celestial will!

A surge of power belonging to a powerful immortal suddenly burst forth, heading straight towards Wen Yun.

However, at that moment, the dragon bone wand inserted in Cloud Island emitted a dazzling light. The calm island suddenly began to change, with countless stars lighting up. The rules of space instantly enveloped the entire Cloud Island. Meanwhile, the figures of Ye Shubai and Wen Yun disappeared from the spot like ghosts and reappeared behind Supreme Immortal Shangxuan!

"This is the space I control, and you can’t catch us."

Wen Yun calmly watched as Supreme Immortal Shangxuan launched three attacks, making no move while she and Ye Shubai dodged at the same time.

This is the grave that Wen Yun has prepared for Shangxuan for nearly a hundred years.

It’s too difficult to kill a Supreme Immortal.

Wen Yun couldn’t afford to be complacent. From the Magic World to the cultivation world and up to the higher realm, every lonely night, she silently calculated the space-time array in her mind.

She needed to create a space that she could completely control.

With Wen Yun’s mastery of the laws of space-time, she finally built this true space-time array.

Now the entire Cloud Island is made up of countless spatial teleportation arrays. Every day, Wen Yun comes to draw several arrays. There are probably a million spatial arrays on this island by now.

When she inserted the dragon bone wand into the ground, it signaled the activation of the array.

Inside here, Shangxuan cannot escape, while Wen Yun can freely move between different formations. She is the absolute controller here, Shangxuan cannot harm her or Ye Shubai!

Supreme Immortal Shangxuan pulled out his sword without knowing when, sensing the unusual situation on the island, but his focus was on something else at that moment.

He coldly looked at Wen Yun, "Did Yang Xuan tell you everything?"

"Wrong guess." Wen Yun floated in the air, looking down at Supreme Immortal Shangxuan, "I know what you want to do, you want to rebuild the order of heaven and earth, control the life and death of all realms, become the ruler of heaven and earth. Yet, after ten thousand years, besides secretly imprisoning beings in the Northern Wilderness and acting like an emperor, you are nothing. Stolen things can never truly belong to you."

Supreme Immortal Shangxuan thought he had rid himself of emotions during his practice over the past ten thousand years, but these simple words from the girl almost breached his defenses.

Even Yang Xuan didn’t know about the situation in that realm in the Northern Wilderness!

Where did this girl come from, and why does she understand everything?

"Are you curious how I know?" Wen Yun smiled slightly, adopting a mysterious and deadly air –

"Because, I am the true New Heavenly Way."

As Wen Yun expected, when she spouted nonsense, the power on Supreme Immortal Shangxuan became chaotic.

It’s time to go on the offensive!

"It’s now, Little Bai, go!"

Just as Wen Yun finished speaking, Ye Shubai beside her turned into a white streak of light, the Phoenix Tree Sword in his hand bursting with a powerful life-and-death energy, fiercely slashing towards Supreme Immortal Shangxuan.

Shangxuan raised his sword to meet Ye Shubai, sensing the life-and-death energy on Ye Shubai’s sword, he coldly snorted, "So you’ve been hiding your strength all this time, I underestimated you."

"But the gap between ascension and the immortal realm is insurmountable, you are no match for me!"

Even though Supreme Immortal Shangxuan noticed that Ye Shubai’s mastery of life-and-death rules was nearing completion, he remained unaffected, as in both cultivation and the rules, he outclassed Ye Shubai.

Those who cultivate the rules of life and death have comprehended the path of life and death. The only one who can kill Shangxuan is another who also understands the rules of life and death.

But Ye Shubai is still not as powerful as Shangxuan, so in this world, there is simply no one who can kill him.

However, at that moment, Wen Yun, who was floating in the air, smiled slightly.

She silently asked a question in return.

"If one can’t kill you… what about a hundred?"

Supreme Immortal Shangxuan didn’t hear this sentence, he couldn’t hear anything anymore.

Just as he repelled Ye Shubai, the wind suddenly stopped and the sky dimmed. A golden-red light appeared in front of Supreme Immortal Shangxuan, with a power that matched Ye Shubai’s strike, but seemed even stronger.

No, not just one light!

Countless sword lights seemed to weave a dense web, each strike requiring all of their cultivation to be swung out directly at Supreme Immortal Shangxuan!

Supreme Immortal Shangxuan’s eyes suddenly widened.

"It’s impossible!"

How could someone at the Ascension Stage possibly unleash so many swords at once?

He raised his hand to defend himself with the law of life and death, but as Wen Yun said, one Ye Shubai couldn’t kill him, but at the moment he was facing… a hundred Ye Shubais.

In a trance, Supreme Immortal Shangxuan seemed to see countless similar scenes.

Suddenly, a man in white appeared before him, wielding a sword and slashing towards him.

One sword, then another, the crisscrossing sword light almost blinded Shangxuan.

"This is the sword that was swung a hundred days ago."

…

"This is the sword that was swung thirty days ago."

…

Wen Yun controlled the laws of time and space, making the swords that were supposed to strike the stones cut through the time and space, fiercely slashing towards Supreme Immortal Shangxuan with a deadly force, shattering his body almost instantly.

This was the success she had achieved after numerous meticulously planned practices.

At the same time, Ye Shubai leaped into the air, his wooden sword creating a stunning burst of golden-red light in the sky, the sword aura resembling a dancing phoenix, piercing through the Supreme Immortal Shangxuan’s dantian with the laws of life and death.

"Crack—"

A sound of shattering echoed.

A blood hole appeared in the dantian of Supreme Immortal Shangxuan, blood gushing out frantically like a spring, while his source power was dissipating rapidly.

Ye Shubai smoothly sheathed his sword.

He looked at the nearly kneeling Supreme Immortal Shangxuan, placing the wooden sword against his forehead.

"She said, today’s dead person is not me, it’s you."

This sentence made Wen Yun pause, and she cried out, "Ye Xiaobai, you really know everything!"
