Before passing out, Ye Tianling took one last look at the Fox Race girl.

Though she looked very young, perhaps fourteen or fifteen, the magnificent sight she presented had completely stunned Ye Tianling.

So much so that the blood rushed to his head, and he blacked out even faster.

At that moment, Ye Tianling actually wanted to struggle to stay conscious a little longer, but alas, he simply didn’t have the strength.

’It must have been Little Dragon Girl who screwed me over!’ 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

’Huh... why did I say Little Dragon Girl?’

’Oh, right. That seems to be the name for the Mechanical Heart. I think I like to call it ’Little Dragon Girl’...’

In the depths of Ye Tianling’s mind, that last memory froze and gradually faded away.

...

SOB... SOB...

The faint sound of crying instinctively awakened Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent.

Afterward, Ye Tianling discovered that this world was so real it felt almost dreamlike.

The particles of Spiritual Qi in the air, the scent of water mist, the fragrance of distant leaves, the smell of the soil on the ground—every part of the environment sent a soul-stirring shock through him.

’This world... has really changed...’

The crying Ye Tianling heard was coming from that beautiful Fox Race girl.

However, Ye Tianling didn’t wake up immediately. Instead, he used his Soul Talent to try and look within himself.

After a period of Sensing, Ye Tianling was finally relieved. His Realm had stabilized at the Early Stage of the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm. His Sword Venerate Dominating Body, a type of Emperor’s Qi Sword Body, was still present and had even been further activated, making his physique extremely formidable.

As for the other seven great Ancient Divine Bodies, apart from the Thunder Flame Sword Body which had partially awakened, the rest were currently dormant.

Because his original Life Chart and Ye Cangqian’s Life Chart had seemingly merged and replaced each other, his Realm had undergone a wondrous change. So much so that if he didn’t sense it carefully, even he couldn’t detect his own Realm’s aura—as if he now possessed a powerful, Innate Concealment Ability for his Realm.

In other aspects, Ye Tianling carefully examined his Cultivation Techniques. None of the Huaxia legacies he cultivated were flawed—in other words, the Daos he practiced, including the Celestial Secret Dao and Asura Killing Dao he had learned last, were all perfectly complete.

After this inspection, Ye Tianling was completely at ease.

"Zhu’Er—"

From a distance, a clear and pleasant voice called out, gradually drawing closer.

This was clearly someone using Sky Control to fly over.

However, based on the time it took for the voice to travel and the commotion from their Sky Control, Ye Tianling calculated that their speed was very slow.

"Pwincess, Mastew, Zhu’Ew is hewe."

The Fox Race girl immediately called back in a whimper.

Her enunciation wasn’t clear and her tone was a bit strange, but it came across as adorably clueless.

Ye Tianling still felt a chill all over, and he had no desire to keep lying there.

Looking at this Fox Race girl, Ye Tianling couldn’t help but think of Ancient Fairy and Little Mink.

’Fairy is much smarter than her, but Little Mink is even more cluelessly cute.’

Ye Tianling stood up, completely naked. He gave the Fox Race girl, Zhu’Er, a slightly embarrassed glance and said, "Hey, Little Fox, got any Spirit Armor?"

"Ah—you’ve come back fwom the dead?"

The Fox Race girl shrieked in alarm, causing the rainbow light in the distance to flare up.

"The hell I have! ’Come back from the dead’... I wasn’t even dead!"

Ye Tianling shot the Fox Race girl an annoyed glare, frightening her so much that she stumbled back five or six steps with a THUD THUD THUD, then lost her balance and fell right on her... butt.

"Waaah—"

She stood up, holding her two... cheeks with both hands, her eyes filled with aggrieved tears.

By now, however, she had already changed into a light green Spiritual Gauze Skirt, so the beautiful scenery from before was no longer on display.

Ye Tianling’s head throbbed. He had the distinct impression that she was so dumb she’d cried.

His gaze swept around. He then bent down, crushed the Tri-Eyed Race person’s finger, and snatched the Qiankun Ring. Spreading his Soul Power through it, he found an ordinary set of Lower Grade Spiritual Armor and a pair of Combat Boots.

A wisp of Samadhi True Fire Aura entered them, and his Dragon Blood Power flowed in. In the space of a breath, Ye Tianling completed the Refinement of the Spirit Armor and Combat Boots and put them on.

The Spirit Armor transformed into an elegant white robe, and the Combat Boots also turned white, instantly freeing Ye Tianling from his pathetic, "fully exposed" state.

Seeing this, the Fox Race girl Zhu’Er just stared blankly, tears still in her eyes, as if dumbfounded.

"Lecher—how dare you take advantage of a crisis to abduct my maid! You deserve to die!"

A dozen or so meters in the air, a young woman in a red gauze skirt stood on a sword. She held a Red Tassel Spear, pointed it at Ye Tianling, and shouted coldly.

"How dare you molest my disciple! Death would be too good for you!"

Beside the woman in the red gauze skirt was a woman in a white Daoist Robe. Her figure was enchanting, but her expression was cold. The Duster in her hand seemed to contain a destructive killing intent.

’Oh, a group of Sword Soul Realm Cultivators... What is this place?’

Ye Tianling was curious. Although he knew the world had undergone great changes, he didn’t know what level of strength other Cultivators generally possessed.

These women, meanwhile, radiated Ancient Qi and Immortal Spirit Aura. Their dispositions flowed out, and the faint presence of Royal Blood gave them a deep-seated noble air that might make others feel like looking up to them in reverence.

However, with his own heaven-defying bloodline and deep immersion in Huaxia culture, how could he be affected by such things?

He was just about to swat these two shrieking women out of the sky with one hand, to wake them up and let them witness his, Ye Tianling’s, fearsome might.

Just then, the Fox Race girl, Zhu’Er, immediately ran out to stop them. "Pwincess, Mastew, this... this big bwother saved Zhu’Ew. He... he’s a good pewson."

The woman in the red gauze skirt and the woman in the white Daoist Robe descended. Soon after, more than ten burly, armored men flew over from nearby.

These were clearly the two women’s guards.

"He’s a good person? This kid looks shifty-eyed and sneaky. He’s obviously up to no good!"

The woman in the white Daoist Robe snorted coldly.

The woman in the red gauze skirt also said, "Just now, as I was flying on my spear, I saw him hastily getting dressed from afar... Did he ruin your innocence and threaten you? Zhu’Er, tell your Princess. I will see justice done for you!"

"Pwincess, no, it’s not like that. It was... it was Tu Kun. Aftew my Wealm wegwessed and I was shackled by the Powew of Heaven and Eawth, he suddenly subdued me and gwabbed me... Then he fell fwom the sky and... and cwashed into Tu Kun, killing him."

The Fox Race girl explained hurriedly.

But her mispronunciations were severe, as if she hadn’t spoken in a very long time.

Still, Ye Tianling eventually understood.

He immediately realized—this was a group of people who hadn’t been out in the world for a very long time!

’Where am I? This world... could it be that I’ve left the region of the Sword Ancestor Star?’

Ye Tianling’s heart sank.

"Him? Fell from the sky? And crushed Tu Kun to death? Just him? Tu Kun was a Master Level genius at the Sword Spirit Third Heaven Realm with a Battle Power exceeding one! And he just died like that?"

The woman in the white Daoist Robe was clearly unconvinced.

"That’s right, it was me. I have good Talent and a good physique, so I crushed Tu Kun to death. You got a problem with that? Stop your damn nagging—yeah, what are you looking at? I’m talking to you, old Daoist Nun!"

Ye Tianling stepped forward, closing in on the woman in the white Daoist Robe.
