Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 739 - 733: The Power of Mystery

"Mm."

Ye Xuan’s eyes shone with a faint gleam. He wasn’t afraid; actually, as long as it wasn’t one of the few strongest people from the Emperor Xi Sect taking action, he should be able to deal with anyone else.

"Let’s go, the bridge will straighten itself when we get there. I, Ye Xuan, have never been afraid of anyone."

Ye Xuan no longer dwelled on the issue of the Emperor Xi Sect. They fundamentally could do nothing to him. Moreover, the enemy hadn’t appeared yet, so it would be ridiculous for him to be frightened.

"However, where does that mysterious power within you come from?"

Ye Xuan turned to look at Ling Qianxue. Her cultivation speed was indeed alarming. Even though both of them came from a place like the Tiannan Region, it wasn’t strange for Ye Xuan to possess his current level of cultivation, since he had many methods from his past life at his disposal. However, Ling Qianxue’s fast cultivation was curious.

"I don’t know either. The power inside me is unpredictable and seems to harmonize well with the cultivation technique I’m practicing. But as you said, it’s incredibly mysterious and entirely elusive."

Ling Qianxue shook her head. If she could master that power, she wouldn’t need to be chased by Huo Yuan anymore.

"Close your eyes."

Ye Xuan placed his hand over Ling Qianxue’s eyes, and the latter’s eyes closed tightly. The next moment, Ye Xuan used his soul power to enter Ling Qianxue’s body, sensing the aura of that mysterious power.

Because Ling Qianxue had let down her guard completely, Ye Xuan’s soul power flowed unobstructed. However, after a thorough search, he found nothing.

"It can actually evade my detection completely."

Ye Xuan was somewhat astonished. That power was clearly concealed, and even he couldn’t find any trace of it. It was indeed strange.

"It seems that this power is indeed unusual."

Ye Xuan retracted his soul power, "We just have to wait until our strength increases before we investigate further."

"Although it’s unclear whether this power is a blessing or a curse, for now, it has saved me multiple times. It probably won’t harm me."

Ling Qianxue wasn’t overly worried. Her mysterious power harmonized very well with her body and cultivation technique. Despite its deep mystery, she still felt a fondness for this power.

"Mm, that’s all we can do for now."

Ye Xuan had no solution and could only watch and wait for changes.

"By the way, when you and Yaoer entered the Snow Soul Palace together, didn’t she accompany you to train on Snow God Mountain?"

Ye Xuan thought of Nangong Yao. She hadn’t appeared in the trials of Martial God Mountain this time, which puzzled him. Nangong Yao possessed an Innate Xuan Yin Body, which theoretically held more potential than Ling Qianxue.

"Nangong Yao and I did enter Snow God Mountain together, but an elder took a liking to her and took her away alone. After that, there was no news about her," said Ling Qianxue.

"What is the identity of that elder? Did Snow God Mountain just let them take her away?"

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. The potential of Nangong Yao’s Xuan Yin Body was still very large. As she continued to cultivate, the possibility of her evolving was significant. Presumably, the higher-ups of Snow God Mountain would be aware of this. To let such a promising disciple be taken away by someone else seemed inconceivable.

"That elder’s identity is mysterious, and even the Sect Master of Snow God Mountain was particularly respectful and did not dare to disobey."

A thoughtful look flashed in Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes before she continued, "I suspect that Nangong Yao was taken to that place."

"Which place?"

Ye Xuan was momentarily startled, but his pupils quickly narrowed as he seemed to understand something.

As is well-known, the dominant force over the Spirit Martial Continent is the Seventh Grade Sects, for they rule the Central Domain, making them the controllers of the entire continent. Indeed, this is true, but it’s also a fact that Seventh Grade Sects aren’t the strongest power in the world.

Above them exist even more transcendental forces.

However, those individuals no longer concern themselves with worldly affairs and rarely interact with the outside world. Hence, few people on the continent know of them.

It wasn’t until he entered the Heavenly Martial Holy Land that Ye Xuan began to understand a fraction of the truth.

"If that’s the case, then it can also be considered her fortuitous opportunity,"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly. It seemed Nangong Yao no longer needed him to worry about her. That place was indeed more suitable for cultivation than the Central Domain. And for many in the Central Domain, it was already a once-in-three-lifetimes, immense stroke of luck to get there.

"Let’s go together next," he continued. "The Artifact Pavilion should be closing soon, we need to seize the time and see if we can find any other gains."

Ye Xuan took Ling Qianxue’s small hand, and her pretty face blushed, but she did not resist. The two had long been in tune with each other and even spending a great deal of time together did not make them feel any estrangement.

Although Ye Xuan was usually surrounded by women, all of whom were beauties, he had not flirted with any of them. He kept a respectful distance but treated Ling Qianxue differently. He was genuinely happy to see her now, and his mood lightened, allowing himself to jest and playfully tease Qianxue.

In Ye Xuan’s eyes, Ling Qianxue was still the icy senior sister from before, but in front of him, she became someone else, showing shyness and the gestures of a delicate woman. If others saw her like this, they would surely be astonished.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a white light fell in the passageway, revealing a figure – it was Senior Sister Yin Meng.

Her appearance was quite untimely as she caught a glimpse of Ye Xuan and Qianxue together and involuntarily coughed lightly.

"Senior Sister Yin Meng,"

Ye Xuan let go of Ling Qianxue’s hand and greeted Yin Meng with clasped hands, his face showing a trace of embarrassment. He had maintained the image of a gentleman, but now, being caught by Senior Sister Yin Meng, that image was slightly tarnished.

"I hope I didn’t interrupt the two of you," she said, looking at Ye Xuan meaningfully like she was saying, "Flirting here in the Artifact Pavilion, quite the charmer you are, Junior Brother. Life must be quite enjoyable for you."

"I’m afraid it’s not what you think, Senior Sister," Ye Xuan replied, smiling and shaking his head. He then became a bit more solemn, "Two hours ago, we ran into Huo Yuan, and we just had a big battle with him."

"What, Huo Yuan was here?"

Yin Meng’s face changed, and she became vigilant, scanning the surroundings. After ensuring there was no one else around, she relaxed and asked, "Where is Huo Yuan now?"

"I killed him," Ye Xuan stated without any concealment. There was no need to hide it because the higher-ups of the Emperor Xi Sect probably already knew he was the killer. There was no point in concealing it from his own people now.

"Junior Brother Ye, this is not something to joke about!"

Yin Meng’s pupils contracted. She found it hard to believe what Ye Xuan said. His talent and strength were indeed extraordinary, but there was still a gap between him and Huo Yuan, let alone killing the latter.

Knowing Yin Meng wouldn’t believe him, Ye Xuan flicked his finger, and a light orb shot out, flying towards her. As the light dissipated, an Identity Token with the name "Huo Yuan" inscribed on it fell into her hands.

"This is the Identity Token of the Emperor Xi Sect."

Yin Meng’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to doubt it any longer. The Identity Token of the Emperor Xi Sect was unique, made from special materials, just like those in the Heavenly Martial Holy Land. Each Token had a unique aura, and this was indeed the Disciple Token of the Emperor Xi Sect.
