Ye Xuan and Jinque discovered that the Flood Dragon Sword Qi in Thousand Sword Valley had been tampered with, containing a subtly different form of Origin Power. Despite the danger and observation from Heitian Yucheng and Guming Feixuan, Ye Xuan allowed Zhou Youwei to absorb the tainted Sword Qi while he protected her, suspecting it was a trap.

Within the Thousand Sword Valley.

Cultivators from various clans are all absorbing the Flood Dragon Sword Qi.

From initial exclamations of astonishment to now focused absorption.

Zhou Youwei also joins them.

Boom!

Yet when Zhou Youwei begins to absorb, the Flood Dragon Sword Qi within the entire Thousand Sword Valley seems to recognize the arrival of its master, bowing down and emitting dragon roars, lowering its head toward Zhou Youwei.

Everyone is affected!

They have no choice but to interrupt their absorption, glaring at Zhou Youwei in anger and confusion.

Everyone on the Immortal Mountain’s Crossing Heavenly Tortoise also notices the situation.

All eyes are on Zhou Youwei.

Including Heitian Yucheng and Guming Feixuan.

"Eh!"

Both let out a sound of surprise, disbelief flashing in their eyes.

Then they quickly exchange glances, both seeing delight in each other’s eyes.

"An exceptional vessel!"

"This girl is actually an exceptional vessel!"

Both are shocked, then start to laugh.

Their gazes toward Zhou Youwei become friendly.

"Unexpectedly, we’ve found such an exceptional vessel so soon, it’s like a blessing from the heavens!"

They seem extraordinarily happy.

At this moment, Zhou Youwei becomes the focal point of the entire scene.

This was something Ye Xuan had anticipated.

Youwei’s talent was already remarkably terrifying, and after regaining the memories of Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, she was even more unbeatable.

Despite Youwei’s utmost restraint, there is a limit to her ability.

One could only say.

Youwei’s minimum capability exceeds the maximum of all the cultivators present here by far.

That’s why such an outrageous situation appeared.

Almost all the Flood Dragon Sword Qi in the Thousand Sword Valley at this moment rushes toward Zhou Youwei.

Despite each Flood Dragon Sword Qi containing little Origin Power, when accumulated, strand by strand, it holds extremely formidable power.

All of this Origin Power is absorbed by Zhou Youwei.

Even the cultivators from various clans who cannot sense the Origin Power see something different.

"There’s a powerful force within the Flood Dragon Sword Qi!"

"Damn, this girl is monopolizing our fortune!"

"She’s merely a small Heaven and Earth Great Sage Realm, daring to be so arrogant!"

In no time, the crowd is stirred.

Although they do not know the source of that power, they can feel its benefits, and seeing Zhou Youwei absorb it all alone, they naturally feel displeased, shouting angrily.

Among them, a Stone People Clan strong figure at the True Destiny Great Sage Realm stands in the void, staring at Zhou Youwei, emitting a terrifying pressure that oppresses all living things.

The Stone People Clan is one of the strong clans among All Heavens, their entire body made of stone.

Like the current True Destiny Great Sage Realm Stone People Clan member, his whole body is black gold stone, standing ten zhàng tall, much like a giant.

He slowly clenches his fist, seeming about to strike Zhou Youwei.

Ye Xuan sits beside Zhou Youwei, expression calm.

"Brat, you’re with her, aren’t you? If you know what’s good for you, make her stop and return the fortune to everyone!"

The True Destiny Great Sage of the Stone People ultimately doesn’t strike directly but angrily reprimands.

With his words, he binds himself and everyone else together, advocating for everyone in search of fortune!

Sure enough.

As the Stone People True Destiny Great Sage speaks, someone immediately follows.

"That’s right, this fortune belongs to everyone, why should she alone absorb it all?!"

"Return the fortune to everyone, or don’t blame us for being impolite!"

A crowd of experts from the Great Sage Realm and Great Saint Realm surround, glaring at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

Ye Xuan ignores these people, looking at Zhou Youwei.

He observes Youwei’s changes.

Absorbing the Origin Power, Youwei’s body seems to condense a layer of black membrane.

But perhaps due to insufficient power, this layer of black membrane appears quite thin, continuously dissipating, unable to coalesce.

"What’s your intent, brat?!"

Seeing Ye Xuan unresponsive, some ill-tempered potentates become furious, angrily accusing.

Ye Xuan withdraws his gaze, glances sidelong at that person, and calmly says, "Worldly fortunes fall to those destined, don’t force them."

This principle applies universally.

Of course, no one heeds these words.

Seeing fortune, who wouldn’t fight to seize it?

Thus someone makes a move.

With determination to kill Ye Xuan.

All the Laws of the world seem to be overturned in an instant.

Terrifying power intends to tear Ye Xuan from within directly!

Boom!

At this moment, Ye Xuan does not act, but on the Immortal Mountain’s Crossing Heavenly Tortoise, Guming Feixuan waves his hand.

Terrifying force descends instantly on the one who struck.

In a flash, that person explodes into a cloud of blood.

Only a soul remains, floating there, bewildered and terrified.

The rest are also deterred, staring incredulously at Guming Feixuan.

Guming Feixuan slowly rises, hands behind his back, coldly looking down at the cultivators, calmly says, "Everyone is our world’s friend, striking without permission against friends deserves punishment; destroying your body today is a lesson, if there’s a next time, we won’t treat lightly."

"Those who disagree may convey today’s matter back to your world, we will provide an explanation then."

Guming Feixuan’s words are impartial yet undeniably biased.

Ye Xuan stands in the air, glances at Guming Feixuan, a faint smile appears.

As he suspected, Guming Feixuan could no longer sit idly by.

In essence...

Absorbing more Origin Power attracts more attention from the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

A reasonable path is already forming in Ye Xuan’s mind.

The truth isn’t far off.

With Guming Feixuan’s intervention, those targeting Zhou Youwei have no choice but to relent.

But to avoid sight-induced grievance, they choose to return to the Immortal Mountain’s Crossing Heavenly Tortoise.

Upon returning, they find they must wait until Zhou Youwei finishes absorbing; only then does the Immortal Mountain’s Crossing Heavenly Tortoise seem to depart, aggravating them further yet helplessly so.

However, some are intent on befriending Ye Xuan for other motives, only to be coldly dismissed by Ye Xuan.

Despite their anger, recalling the shattered body incident, they have to let it go.

Time gradually passes.

Guming Feixuan and Heitian Yucheng’s attention remains on Zhou Youwei, eyes burning.

Ye Xuan’s gaze has already refocused on the depths of the Thousand Sword Valley.

While Youwei cannot see, he can.

Below, there is indeed Origin Power continuously surging.

But with Youwei’s absorption, that power obviously lacks supply, eventually interrupting.

"Not leading to Dou Tian Divine Domain, but this is the force nurtured by Black Sky Ancient Netherworld..."

Ye Xuan softly mutters.
