Chapter 101: Er Ya!

Ye Tianming found Fu Wei.

Fu Wei looked at Ye Tianming, “You want to have a real fight with me?”

Ye Tianming nodded.

Fu Wei said, “I have the same intention.”

Moments later, the two arrived at a spacious training ground.

Fu Wei directly pressed down with his right hand, suppressing his realm to match Ye Tianming’s. Then he looked at Ye Tianming, “Use your sword.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Naturally.”

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a sheathed Earth Sword appeared in his hand.

Fu Wei slowly clenched his right hand, and a terrifying power spread from his palm. The surrounding space-time violently surged.

Ye Tianming suddenly drew his sword.

Sixty-fold Overlapping Heaven-Severing Sword Draw!

A sword light flashed across the field like a thunderbolt, slashing straight at Fu Wei.

Fu Wei naturally didn’t dare underestimate Ye Tianming. This was, after all, someone who had defeated Yang Jia, currently the number one genius in the entire universe, in the same realm. He fiercely threw a punch, and terrifying pure power poured out from his fist like a mountain flood, violently colliding with that sword qi.

Boom!

The moment the sword light contacted Fu Wei’s terrifying power, they both erupted with a shockwave that sent them both retreating violently. Both sides retreated over a hundred zhang before stopping.

Fu Wei looked down at his body, which was covered with sword marks, but they hadn’t truly broken through his defense. In the distance, aside from looking somewhat pale, Ye Tianming didn’t seem to have any major issues.

Fu Wei looked at Ye Tianming and said calmly, “Your sword technique still needs practice.”

Ye Tianming also said calmly, “Your strength seems insufficient too. You also need more practice.”

Fu Wei glanced at him and turned to leave.

Ye Tianming also turned to leave.

After each reached a secluded spot, Fu Wei’s clenched hands suddenly loosened. His chest split open directly, and blood spurted out. Looking at the crack on his chest, his expression grew solemn, “What a powerful sword!”

On the other side, the moment Ye Tianming loosened his hands, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

Ye Tianming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “What powerful physical strength.”

Little Tower said, “After all, they’re the Dragon Clan, and because of the Master… because of that senior of yours, their bloodline has mutated. It can be said that in terms of physical body and strength, the only one who can steadily defeat them is probably that feathered creature Er Ya.”

Ye Tianming was somewhat puzzled, “Er Ya?”

Little Tower said, “An old acquaintance.”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Anyone who can be Tower Ancestor’s old acquaintance must be someone with an excellent temperament.”

Little Tower said in a deep voice, “Not good.”

Ye Tianming’s expression froze. He laughed awkwardly, “Judging by that name, Er Ya… must be a very gentle and lovely person, right?”

Little Tower said, “She eats people.”

Ye Tianming: “……”

Ye Tianming was quite shocked, “Eats people?”

Little Tower said, “Yes.”

Ye Tianming said, “That fierce?”

Little Tower said, “Very fierce. If you ever meet her in the future… no, you can’t meet her.”

Ye Tianming was puzzled, “Why?”

Little Tower said, “She has some grudges with your mother. If she sees you, I can’t guarantee she won’t beat you up……”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Not afraid, I have Tower Ancestor.”

Little Tower said, “Well, if she wants to beat you up… I… well, she should give me some face.”

Ye Tianming: “……”

Ye Tianming asked somewhat curiously, “Tower Ancestor, what grudges does that Miss Er Ya have with my mother?”

Little Tower said softly, “They’re all old matters from years past.”

Seeing that Tower Ancestor was unwilling to say more, Ye Tianming stopped asking. After resting for an hour at his residence, he went to find the white-haired woman.

The white-haired woman smiled, “Let’s go.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Alright.”

Moments later, Ye Tianming followed the white-haired woman to set off for the Ancient Former Civilization. At this time, Fu Shun came over with a group of Heavenly Dragon Clan experts.

Fu Shun said respectfully, “We wish to see Young Master Ye off.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Go back.”

Fu Shun hesitated, worry in his eyes.

The white-haired woman smiled, “Go back.”

Fu Shun said no more. He bowed respectfully and led the Heavenly Dragon Clan experts away.

The white-haired woman brought Ye Tianming to a starry river. She glanced around the starry river, “Let me see your Stellar Dharma Form.”

Ye Tianming knew she was going to guide him. Delighted, he quickly summoned his Stellar Dharma Form. The Stellar Dharma Form was currently inferior to his Earth Dharma Form, only a thousand zhang tall.

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming’s Stellar Dharma Form, somewhat surprised, “This is the Star Constellation Civilization’s Dao Star Formula?”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Yes, I merged that Dao Star Formula with my cultivation method.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Quite ingenious.”

Ye Tianming said respectfully, “Please guide me, Senior.”

The white-haired woman said, “The Dao Star Formula was created by an ancestor of the Star Constellation Civilization. The special feature of this cultivation method is devouring stellar power, but unlike other methods, it doesn’t merely devour stellar power—it requires you to merge yourself into the starry river and universe……”

Ye Tianming’s eyes lit up, “Making oneself one with the starry river and universe!”

The white-haired woman nodded, “The universe is vast, the starry rivers endless. Theoretically, this cultivation method has no upper limit. Of course, that’s only theoretical, because not many in this world can transform their body into the entire universe. And for those who can truly achieve this, stellar power might already be insignificant to them.”

Ye Tianming said in a deep voice, “I understand.”

The white-haired woman turned to look at Ye Tianming, quite interested, “You understand?”

Ye Tianming said earnestly, “The Dao encompasses everything in the universe. Whether cultivation methods, martial techniques, or divine abilities, all exist within the Dao. Grasping the essence of the Great Dao equals grasping everything. If a cultivator doesn’t forge their own Great Dao, they will forever be weak. Why is my teacher’s Law of All Beings so powerful? Why can it override everything? It’s because he forged a completely new Great Dao. Under this Dao, he can override everything, suppress everything, unless someone’s Dao is even stronger than my teacher’s……”

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming for a moment, then smiled broadly, “What a clever little fellow.”

Ye Tianming said earnestly, “Therefore, I must forge my own Dao. As for the sword techniques and cultivation methods I’m learning now, they’re merely aids on my life’s journey. I can learn them, and must learn them, but I must forge a Great Dao path that belongs to me alone.”

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming, “Have you thought of that path?”

Ye Tianming nodded, “I have.”

The white-haired woman was somewhat curious, “Can you tell me about it?”

Ye Tianming hesitated.

The white-haired woman smiled, “Inconvenient?”

Ye Tianming laughed awkwardly, “I’m afraid Senior will laugh.”

The white-haired woman shook her head, “I won’t.”

Ye Tianming said earnestly, “Restraint. I want to restrain all orders in the entire universe. Any order that isn’t subject to restraint doesn’t deserve to exist, including the order of the Guanxuan Universe.”

The white-haired woman fell silent.

After Ye Tianming finished speaking, he suddenly felt refreshed and clear-headed. His Dark Law represented the injustice of all beings, but he felt this was far from enough. He felt he could, like his teacher, elevate his philosophy even higher.

Order!

The countless orders in the world—each order represented a kind of power, even absolute power. If absolute power wasn’t subject to restraint, how terrifying would that be?

The Light-Dark Law alone wasn’t enough. He had to forge a completely new path, which was restraint—restraining all absolute power in the world.

He knew this path would be very difficult to walk, but he was determined to walk it.

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes, “Is this your teacher’s idea, or your own?”

Ye Tianming said, “My own. My teacher’s goal is to give all beings the ability to restrain power, but I think that’s still far from enough. Because absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Take the Guanxuan Universe, for example—all rules and laws are inferior to a single word from the Yang family. They completely transcend rules and laws. Even the rules and laws they themselves established, they don’t have to follow……”

He shook his head, “The absolute power of the Academy’s Inner Cabinet… this is the root of all injustice. Only by restraining absolute power can the world possibly become relatively fair.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “That’s a very difficult thing to do.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “I’m confident, because I have Tower Ancestor.”

Little Tower: “……”

The white-haired woman laughed, “Your Tower Ancestor is indeed remarkable. Those who have followed it are all extraordinary figures.”

Little Tower: “……”

The white-haired woman glanced at the Stellar Dharma Form behind Ye Tianming, “What you just said is very correct—you must walk your own Great Dao. However, very few can reach the peak of the Dao in one step. Don’t think your master reached the peak in one step—he actually read books for a hundred years. For a hundred years, he was accumulating. And you also need to accumulate.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “I understand. I’ll work hard.”

The white-haired woman said, “No rush. Your path is very long. You must walk it slowly and steadily.”

“I’m afraid he won’t have the chance to walk it.”

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side. In the distance, space-time split open, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out.

Nalan Feng!

Around them, thirty-two top experts suddenly appeared, all at the Circle-Breaking Realm.

They didn’t hide their appearances at all, quite openly.

Nalan Feng looked at the white-haired woman, “From the Heavenly Dragon Clan.”

The white-haired woman glanced at Nalan Feng and the others, saying calmly, “The Guanxuan Universe indeed needs to change.”

Nalan Feng laughed, “Even at your Heavenly Dragon Clan’s peak a thousand years ago, my Nalan Clan wasn’t afraid. What more now? But rest assured, our target today isn’t your Heavenly Dragon Clan. Have that woman in the plain dress come out! My Nalan Clan wants to spar with her!”
