Chapter 96: She Reverses Life and Death!

Within Ye Tianming’s body, the small tower slowly floated out. It transformed into a phantom, gazing at the white-haired woman in the distance with some emotion and complexity, “It’s been a thousand years.”

The woman slowly turned around. Only then did Ye Tianming discover that she was extremely beautiful, with two dragon horns growing on her forehead.

The woman looked at the small tower, also somewhat emotional, “A thousand years indeed.”

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Ye Tianming. She beckoned to him, a gentle smile appearing on her exquisite face, “Come here.”

Ye Tianming walked before the woman. She looked him over and smiled, “You really resemble her… and them too.”

Ye Tianming hurriedly asked, “Who is she?”

After pondering briefly, the woman smiled, “Since she didn’t choose to acknowledge you, it’s not really appropriate for me to say much.”

Ye Tianming’s expression dimmed, disappointment evident in his eyes.

The woman gently rubbed his head, “Although she didn’t acknowledge you, she definitely cares about you.”

Ye Tianming lowered his head without speaking.

The woman changed the subject, “I heard you understand dark law. Can you show me?”

Ye Tianming collected his thoughts and nodded. He directly summoned his Guanxuan Divine Manifestation.

Looking at the dark law manifestation behind Ye Tianming, the woman fell silent for a moment before asking again, “Show me your sword dao manifestation.”

Ye Tianming nodded and summoned his sword dao manifestation.

Looking at that sword dao manifestation, the woman seemed to think of someone, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes. She collected her thoughts and continued asking, “I heard you also have a Law of All Beings. Can you show me that as well?”

Ye Tianming didn’t hesitate. He opened his palm, and the scroll his teacher had given him appeared in his hand. He handed the scroll to the woman.

He didn’t know why, but he had no wariness toward the woman before him. His intuition told him she was worthy of his trust.

The woman took the scroll. She opened it and looked, then after a moment, nodded slightly, “Your teacher is a very remarkable person. This law hasn’t been completely written yet…”

Ye Tianming suddenly said, “I will complete it.”

The woman smiled, “Good.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the scroll in her hand, “I’ll keep this scroll with me for now. When you leave here, I’ll return it to you. Is that alright?”

Ye Tianming was slightly stunned, then said, “Senior wishes to protect me?”

The woman laughed, “Why do you say that? Couldn’t it be that I want to forcibly take your Law of All Beings?”

Ye Tianming shook his head, “Someone who can earn such respect from Tower Ancestor would definitely not be that kind of person.”

“Haha!”

The small tower immediately laughed proudly, “You little fellow really know how to flatter, and moreover, you flattered two people at once.”

Although it said this, one could tell it was genuinely happy.

The woman also laughed, “Keeping this scroll on you now will bring you great trouble.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “I understand.”

The woman said, “Stay here for a period of time. During this time, you’ll learn from me.”

Ye Tianming immediately bowed deeply, “Thank you, Senior.”

He naturally understood this was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for him. What he lacked most now were various cultivation resources.

The woman said, “Follow me.”

With that, she turned, and both she and Ye Tianming disappeared from their original location.

When they reappeared, the two had arrived before a blood pool. She turned to look at Ye Tianming, “Jump in.”

Ye Tianming didn’t hesitate at all and jumped directly in. The moment he jumped in, he instantly felt as if he had jumped into lava, his entire body seeming about to dissolve into bloody water.

At that moment, the woman suddenly opened her palm, and a dark green pill flew into his brow. Soon, a layer of faint green light appeared on his body. Under the protection of that green light, his physical body didn’t melt. On the contrary, much pure energy entered his body, strengthening his five internal organs and all his meridians and bones.

Pain!

At this moment, Ye Tianming truly felt incomparable pain. He felt as if his entire body was being viciously stabbed by tens of thousands of needles. It truly was pain that penetrated to the marrow, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he was lifted up by a gentle force. At this moment, his consciousness had become blurred from that bone-deep pain.

The woman said, “Rest for now. From now on, you’ll come once every day.”

Once every day!

Ye Tianming’s expression froze, and he immediately passed out.

The next day, when he woke up, he seemed to sense something. He suddenly sat up, clenched his fists, and his entire skeletal system immediately made cracking sounds.

He was stunned.

Because he discovered that his physical body had actually gained tremendous improvement. His current physical body realm was the same as his cultivation realm, both at the Immortal realm. Of course, he didn’t know that his Immortal realm physical body was much, much stronger than other Immortal realm physical bodies, because what tempered his body was dragon blood.

Ye Tianming was very happy, because whether it was sword techniques or the manifestation of his law manifestations, they all required a powerful physical body. The stronger the physical body, the greater the power when manifested. Therefore, the physical body was also extremely important to him.

But thinking about having to go once every day made him feel a bit apprehensive.

That kind of pain was truly beyond what ordinary people could endure.

Ye Tianming suddenly said, “Tower Ancestor, who is that senior?”

The small tower said, “An old friend.”

Ye Tianming said, “Oh.”

The small tower laughed, “I know you’re curious about many things, but when the time comes later, you’ll naturally know. As for now, you should focus on improving your strength and prepare for the upcoming Universal Competition. This is extremely important to you.”

Ye Tianming nodded. Nan Tianqi had already told him about the importance of the Wanzhou Competition. Only by defeating Yang Jia again could those outside cosmic civilizations possibly join forces with the Ancient Civilization to resist the Guanxuan Universe together.

Yang Jia!

Thinking of that youth his own age, his hands involuntarily clenched slowly. Although he had defeated him last time, he was very clear that it was entirely due to the Xingdao Sword and the Law of All Beings. Moreover, the opponent had voluntarily lowered his realm. If the opponent hadn’t lowered his realm, he would have had no chance of winning at all!

And in the upcoming Universal Competition, the opponent definitely wouldn’t lower his realm. Moreover, given the opponent’s talent, in the coming year or so, the opponent’s strength would definitely improve tremendously. In other words, if he didn’t put in a hundred times the effort, he would have no chance of winning at all.

Bang!

Just then, the door was suddenly knocked open, and then a terrifying force came straight at him.

Ye Tianming’s expression immediately changed. He rolled out of bed, suddenly crossing his arms in front of his chest. The power of earth surged out from beneath his feet, forming a defensive circle.

Bang!

His power of earth directly shattered, and along with it shattered this great hall. The entire hall directly turned to dust.

Ye Tianming retreated dozens of zhang continuously. After he stopped, he looked up toward the distance. A man stood there, staring at him with an angry expression.

Ye Tianming asked, “Who are you?”

The man didn’t speak. He suddenly roared, and a terrifying dragon might swept toward Ye Tianming like a tidal wave.

Ye Tianming opened his palm, and a golden qi sword appeared in his hand. He gripped the sword with both hands and pressed forward forcefully. With this press, a powerful sword momentum surged out from within him, forcibly resisting that dragon might. But the next moment, the man suddenly threw a punch at him. This punch actually crushed his sword momentum.

Ye Tianming’s heart jumped. This man’s power was truly terrifying. He didn’t dare be careless and directly summoned four types of manifestations, then controlled the manifestations to throw a punch at the man.

With four manifestations attacking simultaneously, that power was naturally incomparably terrifying.

Bang!

With just one punch, they forcibly pushed the man back a hundred zhang. After the man stopped, an even more terrifying dragon aura erupted from his body, and golden light surged all over him, hisImposing Presence rising

sharply.

Ye Tianming didn’t dare be careless. With a thought, a sheathed longsword appeared in the hands of the four manifestations. When the four manifestations’ right hands gripped the sword hilts, the momentum of the four manifestations also instantly surged, and the surrounding space directly began to boil.

Just as both sides were about to attack, a voice suddenly rang out from the distance, “Stop!”

As the voice fell, a golden light landed between the two. The newcomer was precisely the golden-robed man, Fuzang’s father.

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Tianming immediately withdrew his manifestations.

The golden-robed man stared at the man before him, “What are you doing?”

The man stared fixedly at Ye Tianming, his eyes bloodshot, “He caused elder sister’s death.”

Elder sister!

Ye Tianming was slightly stunned, “You’re Master’s younger brother.”

The man glared at Ye Tianming, “You caused her death. If not for you, she wouldn’t have died!”

Ye Tianming fell silent.

The man was obviously still very angry. He was about to attack but was suppressed by the golden-robed man with one hand, “Outrageous.”

The man said angrily, “Father, he caused elder sister’s death.”

The golden-robed man stared at him, “Go.”

With that, he directly took the man and disappeared from the scene.

On the spot, some Heavenly Dragon Clan dragons around were looking at Ye Tianming. They didn’t know much about Ye Tianming, only knowing that Fuzang had died for him. And who was Fuzang? She was the most monstrous person of the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s younger generation, and moreover, the object of admiration for countless young dragons of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

But now, she had died for a human.

At this time, the white-haired woman appeared beside Ye Tianming, “Do you feel guilty?”

Ye Tianming nodded.

The white-haired woman said, “Then work hard.”

Ye Tianming shook his head, “No matter how hard I work, Master can’t come back.”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Not necessarily.”

Ye Tianming turned to look at the white-haired woman, astonished, “Senior?”

The white-haired woman smiled, “When a person’s strength reaches a certain level, they can reverse life and death.”

“How is that possible!”

Ye Tianming was greatly shocked, “Has… has anyone ever done this before?”

The white-haired woman nodded, “Yes.”

Ye Tianming asked, “Who?”

The white-haired woman smiled slightly, “Someone… who doesn’t even know herself how strong she is.”

As she spoke, she paused, then continued, “But for certain reasons, she won’t use this method again. Therefore, you need to rely on yourself…”

Ye Tianming said in a trembling voice, “Does Senior know that person? I can beg her, I… I… I can pay any price.”

The white-haired woman shook her head, “There’s only one person in this world who can make her disregard her promises and break her own principles… no, wait…”

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Tianming, thinking to herself, “Now there should be two.”
