Chapter 97

Chapter 97: The Woman in Plain Dress, Nothing to Fear!

Reversing life and death!

Ye Tianming found it somewhat hard to believe, because he felt this kind of thing was simply impossible. However, this senior before him clearly had no reason to deceive him.

He didn’t ask again who the person capable of bringing the dead back to life was, because he had already come to his senses—he had no ties or relations with that person, so how could they possibly help him do such a thing? This kind of heaven-defying act would surely require an enormous price, and what could he offer in return right now?

The white-haired woman suddenly grasped Ye Tianming’s shoulder. She gently squeezed it, then said, “Your bone structure needs improvement.”

Ye Tianming was somewhat puzzled, “Improve my bone structure?”

The white-haired woman smiled, “Yes, in the path of physical cultivation, it’s not just flesh and blood that matters—the skeletal frame is also extremely important, because what truly supports the flesh and blood is the body’s skeletal structure. Of course, besides the skeleton, there’s also willpower, powerful willpower, or rather, your sword dao willpower, and sword dao willpower is related to your conviction… Of course, we can take our time with willpower and conviction. Come with me.”

With that, she brought Ye Tianming once again to the blood pool from yesterday, and directly threw him into it.

In an instant, Ye Tianming’s facial features contorted.

The pain was unbearable!

He really wanted to cry out, but felt too embarrassed to do so.

On the shore, seeing Ye Tianming forcibly holding back from screaming, the white-haired woman smiled, then opened her palm and sent a green pill into Ye Tianming’s brow.

As the pill entered his body, Ye Tianming immediately felt somewhat better. He looked at the dragon blood around him. He could sense that this dragon blood contained extremely pure energy and power—if taken outside, it would surely be priceless.

He must cherish this well!

Ye Tianming withdrew his thoughts, calmed his qi and focused his spirit, and began to concentrate on absorbing the dragon blood. No, not absorbing—just soaking. He still couldn’t absorb this dragon blood at all, because his body wouldn’t allow it. Even a single drop of this dragon blood entering his body would be enough to make his body explode on the spot.

Strictly speaking, his current physical strength didn’t even qualify him to soak in it, but fortunately, he had the pill the white-haired woman gave him. With that pill protecting his body, he could soak in this dragon blood.

About two hours later, the white-haired woman gently raised her jade hand, and Ye Tianming flew out from the blood pool, then landed smoothly on the ground.

The white-haired woman looked at Ye Tianming. His body was writhing.

The small tower suddenly said, “Should we just replace his skeleton directly? That would be more straightforward.”

The white-haired woman shook her head, “Replacing his skeleton could greatly enhance his strength in the short term, but the losses would outweigh the gains. You must know, this young fellow has a naturally mortal body, and his bones are also mortal bones…”

The small tower laughed, “I actually forgot about that.”

The white-haired woman suddenly said, “What about that person from the Guanxuan Universe?”

The small tower was slightly stunned, but quickly understood she was talking about Yang Jia. The small tower thought for a moment, then sighed softly, “Looking at things in hindsight, his character should still be fundamentally sound, but after losing me, he still took some wrong turns. He’s also immature in how he handles matters and deals with people. Sigh…”

The white-haired woman: “…”

The small tower continued, “Mistress, look at this young fellow—because I’ve been guiding him, his character is so upright! He doesn’t have a single devious thought. He’s truly the world’s number one honest person… I taught him well, didn’t I?”

The white-haired woman: “…”

At this moment, the white-haired woman suddenly looked up at the starry sky above, her eyes cold as ice.

Above the starry sky, many powerful auras were hidden.

The small tower asked, “From the Guanxuan Universe?”

The white-haired woman said, “From the Guanxuan Universe, from outer universe civilizations—all kinds. Clearly, they’re here for the Law of All Beings on that young fellow.”

The small tower said in a heavy voice, “The Guanxuan Universe is becoming more and more outrageous these days. Ah, human nature! The territory the older generation fought for, the younger generation will take for granted and think they all deserve to enjoy…”

The white-haired woman withdrew her gaze, and after a long silence, said, “Power without restraint is absolute power…”

With that, she shook her head and sighed.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Tianming woke up. Upon waking, he suddenly sat up, then looked down at his own physical body. When he saw his body, he was immediately stunned.

It had improved again!

His physical body had now actually reached the Supreme Immortal Realm!

Ye Tianming truly found it hard to believe. He hadn’t expected to advance another realm so quickly.

Keep soaking!

After the shock passed, Ye Tianming became excited. If he soaked for a month or so… he didn’t dare to imagine.

Ye Tianming got up and moved his muscles and bones. After his physical body improved, he felt his strength had also become much more powerful.

At this moment, the white-haired woman appeared before him. Ye Tianming said excitedly, “Senior, shall we continue soaking?”

The white-haired woman shook her head.

Ye Tianming was puzzled.

The white-haired woman said, “After your realm improves, you need to stabilize it.”

Ye Tianming was somewhat curious, “How do I stabilize it?”

The white-haired woman’s lips curved slightly, “By getting beaten.”

Ye Tianming: “…”

The white-haired woman said, “I’ve found you an opponent. You’re not allowed to use sword techniques or dharma forms, only hand-to-hand combat.”

As her voice fell, a golden light suddenly descended into the arena.

Seeing who had arrived, Ye Tianming was immediately stunned, because the newcomer was none other than Senior Sister Fuzang’s younger brother. The man was staring at him coldly.

After the white-haired woman brought them to a training ground, she said, “Have fun, you two.”

With that, she turned and disappeared.

After the white-haired woman left, the man moved his muscles and bones, and his entire skeletal frame immediately made cracking sounds.

Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then said, “You’re Senior Sister’s younger brother? Senior Sister told me about you, said you’re a really good person…”

“I’m not a person!”

The man roared, “I’m a dragon!”

With that, he charged forward directly, throwing a punch at Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming: “…”

Bang!

Ye Tianming was directly sent flying several hundred zhang by this punch, finally crashing heavily into the ground. The ground was instantly smashed into a huge crater.

After taking this punch, Ye Tianming felt like his entire body and all his internal organs were about to split apart.

And just then, the man charged at him again. Seeing the man looking like he wanted to beat him to death, Ye Tianming’s expression changed immediately, and he quickly scrambled up.

Bang!

Soon, explosive sounds rang out continuously in the arena.

Because he couldn’t use his sword or dharma form, Ye Tianming was completely no match for this man. Although he had previously learned some martial techniques from transcendent civilization, those techniques were completely useless against this man. Not only was the opponent’s strength terrifying, but his physical defense was also incredibly formidable. When he punched the opponent, nothing happened to them, while his own fist cracked open.

Just like that, Ye Tianming entered getting-beaten mode.

The man’s fighting style was very simple—just fists, without any fancy flourishes, one punch after another.

At the beginning, Ye Tianming could still resist a bit, but later on, he had completely given up resisting and let the man beat him violently.

This continued for a full two hours. Finally, Ye Tianming lay on the ground motionless, with only a breath of life left.

The man stopped attacking. He glanced at Ye Tianming, “That felt great!”

With that, he turned and left.

Ye Tianming: “…”

After a very long time, Ye Tianming finally felt his mind clear up a bit. From that beating just now, his mind hadn’t been very clear.

And at this moment, he couldn’t feel his body at all.

Ye Tianming smiled bitterly. That brother really went all out.

Of course, he could also sense that the other party had still held back, otherwise, without using his dharma form or sword, the opponent could definitely have beaten him to death.

Ye Tianming suddenly asked, “Tower Ancestor, did you used to know many, many big shots?”

The small tower laughed, “I basically gave guidance to all of them.”

Ye Tianming quickly asked, “What about the Guanxuan Sword Master?”

The small tower laughed heartily, “Not to brag, but when he sees me, he’d have to call me Tower Lord at the very least. Never mind him, even his father when he sees me… Forget it, let’s not mention his father. His father’s a big bluffer.”

Ye Tianming was greatly shocked. It seemed he had greatly underestimated this Tower Ancestor.

Ye Tianming continued asking, “Tower Ancestor, you’re so powerful, why would you follow a small fry like me?”

The small tower said, “I think you have great potential.”

Ye Tianming shook his head, “I think that with Tower Ancestor’s abilities, even if you randomly followed anyone, that person would definitely become a hegemon in the future, an invincible existence.”

The small tower laughed heartily, “Although I know you’re flattering me, I have to say, what you said is correct. I’m just that excellent, just that awesome.”

Ye Tianming: “…”

The small tower said, “During this time, you need to cultivate well. This opportunity is rare.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Alright.”

After resting for a night, he finally felt his body had recovered considerably, but at this time, Fuzang’s younger brother came again.

Seeing him, Ye Tianming felt somewhat pained. Although this guy wouldn’t beat him to death, he really hit hard, specifically targeting his kidneys.

The man didn’t waste any words at all, clenched his fist, and charged straight at Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming: “…”

Without a doubt, Ye Tianming was beaten violently again. This time was the same as last time—he was beaten until he couldn’t feel his body anymore.

And that man’s expression was extremely satisfied.

Just like that, Ye Tianming was beaten by the man for a full half month. During this process, although he was getting beaten every day, he also began to fight back. In this process of resistance, his combat awareness also greatly improved. Not only that, he discovered he seemed to be getting more and more resistant to beatings.

Bang!

Ye Tianming was once again sent flying by the man’s punch to his chest. He instantly flew backward, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

The man looked at Ye Tianming who hadn’t gotten up, frowned, “I know you still have strength. Get up.”

Ye Tianming climbed up. He looked at the man, “About Senior Sister’s matter, I’m very sorry.”

The man didn’t attack. He suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tianming, just staring at him like that.

Ye Tianming looked directly at him, “I will seek justice for her, definitely.”

The man stared at Ye Tianming, “You’re no match for that Yang Jia. In this era, no one among the younger generation is his match.”

Ye Tianming said, “Even if I can’t win, I still have to fight.”

The man was silent for a moment, then said, “I will seek justice for my sister myself.”

With that, he turned and left.

On the spot, Ye Tianming was silent for a moment, then turned and left. For him right now, improving his strength was the most important thing.

In the starry sky above the Heavenly Dragon Clan, a group of powerful beings gathered together. Among this group, there were a full twelve Breaking Circle Realm cultivators!

However, they were all illusory, not manifesting their true forms. At this moment, they were all looking down at the Heavenly Dragon Clan below.

At this time, one of them said, “The Heavenly Dragon Clan is a criminal clan, not worth worrying about. What truly deserves attention is that woman in the plain dress. This woman’s strength is unfathomable!”

Another person sneered, “No matter how strong she is, she’s just one person, while we have nineteen people, with massive reinforcements behind us. If we all rush her together, we can overwhelm her with sheer numbers!!”

Someone suddenly laughed, “This plain-dressed woman is nothing to fear.”

Everyone looked at that person. He smiled and said, “I had someone in the True World hire a very, very impressive fortune teller to divine her fate. That fortune teller said the plain-dressed woman only knows one sword strike. As long as we withstand her first strike, she’ll have no other moves.”
