Flying Sub-Saint Artifact, on that giant ship.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, treating the wound on Senior Swordswoman’s arm left by the Soul-breaking Needle.

At the same time, he surveyed the surrounding familiar figures.

Lin Jin, Tie Niu, Qin Feiyang, Shangguan Xiyue, Lingg Yu, Ye Ming, and others...

Everyone here he knew.

Except for Senior Swordswoman, who was his elder, the rest were all friends who had shared life and death experiences with him.

Lin Jin and others were his close friends from his growth path back then.

These figures showed little change in appearance.

Just compared to their previous childishness, each had matured considerably now.

Although everyone was stained with blood, Xiao Yi sensed their aura was stable.

With his ability as an Alchemist, and Elixirs, it was not difficult to help them heal.

From the moment he flew over from afar, seeing Senior Swordswoman and many friends, he first felt joy, then anger seeing everyone injured, until now he had calmed his emotions slightly.

Everyone was unharmed, so he need not worry.

Next, he just had to ask why Senior Swordswoman and the group had come to the Central Region.

After all, he knew the Eastern Domain lacked a trace of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, making it impossible for anyone to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Moreover, he himself had crossed that chaotic spatial flow, aware of its dangers.

Without Heavenly Extreme Realm strength, it was impossible to pass through that chaotic flow to reach the Central Region.

"Senior Swordswoman, how did you come here?"

While treating Senior Swordswoman’s injuries, Xiao Yi questioned via voice transmission.

The matter of the Eastern Domain was naturally not suitable to speak aloud, hence he could only communicate through voice transmission.

Xiao Yi cautiously set up a barrier silently.

The barrier was connected to the aura of the Purple Lightning Divine Sword nearby.

Xiao Yi even set up a formation to ensure absolute safety.

With such layers of isolation and communicating via voice transmission, even Chengfeng Hall Master couldn’t eavesdrop.

Even if Chengfeng Hall Master tried to forcibly eavesdrop, Xiao Yi would instantly detect it.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Chengfeng Hall Master, but some matters are best left uncomplicated.

Senior Swordswoman evidently understood Xiao Yi’s concerns and answered via voice transmission.

"I broke through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm in the Eastern Domain, and then came over."

"Though I didn’t perish passing through the spatial turbulence, it was indeed a tumultuous experience."

"I could only imagine the danger you encountered, setting out alone with merely the Earth Extreme Realm back then."

Saying this, Senior Swordswoman smiled, showing a look of admiration.

"Broke through to Heavenly Extreme?" Xiao Yi was slightly surprised upon hearing.

Senior Swordswoman continued to answer via voice transmission.

After some time, Senior Swordswoman explained roughly, and Xiao Yi mostly understood.

Knowing that Senior Swordswoman managed to break through to Heavenly Extreme in the Eastern Domain lacking a trace of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, Xiao Yi was truly astonished.

But at the same time, he secretly marveled at Senior Swordswoman’s talent, indeed remarkable.

Recalling that back in the Eastern Domain, Senior Swordswoman was the fastest in history to reach the Extreme Realm.

She was only 23 years old when she reached the Extreme Realm.

Later, even when he reached the Extreme Realm, although he was faster than Senior Swordswoman, it wasn’t much faster, at most over half a year, less than a year.

This showed how astonishing Senior Swordswoman’s talent was.

Moreover, with help from Flame Martial Main Hall’s this Sub-Saint Artifact, Senior Swordswoman already brought the group from the Eastern Domain to the Central Region.

Calculating the time, it was less than two years after he left that Senior Swordswoman and her group set out.

So Senior Swordswoman and others actually arrived in the Central Region several years ago.

However, the Central Region is full of dangers and killings everywhere.

Though Senior Swordswoman’s character is somewhat rambunctious, as a Heavenly Talent, she is naturally not an average person.

So after coming over, she always acted low-key.

After all, besides herself, she had to care for a large group of Eastern Domain Heavenly Talents.

They didn’t join any of the Eight Palaces, instead adventuring alone to quickly improve their cultivation.

Hence, they didn’t make a huge name for themselves, nor did they stir up big trouble in the Central Region.

Naturally, the vast Central Region, Xiao Yi was unaware they came.

If not for provoking Mo Youh, causing such a big commotion, Xiao Yi doesn’t know how long until he meets them.

Yet, Xiao Yi remembered, back in the Eastern Domain, Senior Swordswoman was very rambunctious.

But after arriving in the Central Region, she became much more low-key.

If it were before, encountering someone like Mo Youh, with Senior Swordswoman’s character, she would probably discipline them and rob their Universe Ring and treasured items afterward.

But upon arriving in the Central Region, she merely taught them a lesson.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile.

At the same time, he knew that over these years, Senior Swordswoman and the group surely didn’t have it easy.

In the Central Region, a place where killings are commonplace, without a significant power backing, it’s really difficult to walk.

It’s easy to imagine that over the years, Senior Swordswoman must have had a hard time protecting everyone.

"Why are you smiling?" At this time, Senior Swordswoman didn’t use voice transmission but directly asked.

"Um." Xiao Yi awkwardly touched his nose, couldn’t directly say that Senior Swordswoman no longer rambunctious, which surprised me.

Hence, Xiao Yi answered, "Nothing, just thinking Senior Swordswoman with her Peak of Saint Emperor Realm cultivation and possessing supreme battle power, is truly formidable."

Indeed, at this moment, Senior Swordswoman’s cultivation reached the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

Her talent has always been exceptionally strong.

In terms of aptitude, comprehension, etc., she’s likely not much weaker than Xiao Yi.

And she actually reached the Central Region only two years later than Xiao Yi.

Moreover, her Qi Spring and Small World size are normal, unlike Xiao Yi’s terrifyingly large Small World.

Hence her cultivation catching up to Xiao Yi is normal.

Currently Xiao Yi’s cultivation is merely Great Power in Martial Arts.

As for battle strength, someone like Sky-splitting Sword Maiden being a supreme Heavenly Talent with such incredible cross-level combat ability is also not surprising.

Though he didn’t know what method Senior Swordswoman used.

But intuition told Xiao Yi this related to the Martial Arts Senior Swordswoman practiced.

Because he could clearly feel Senior Swordswoman’s Martial Arts aura being far stronger than an ordinary Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

Xiao Yi’s judgement wouldn’t be wrong.

In his eyes, Senior Swordswoman undoubtedly possessed supreme power.

Of course, back then Senior Swordswoman practiced Ice Sword Dao, but what Martial Arts she practiced later, Xiao Yi wasn’t sure and didn’t ask much.

However, back then in the Eastern Domain, Senior Swordswoman forcibly created the last trace of Martial Arts to step into Heavenly Extreme, it already showed her remarkable prowess.

Xiao Yi’s gaze turned to Lin Jin, Lingg Yu, and others.

He sensed briefly and nodded slightly.

Their cultivation wasn’t too high, mostly around the Peak of Saint King Realm.

If placed in the Central Region, they’re at the level of first-rate Heavenly Talents.

Compared to those true top Heavenly Talents, they fell short considerably.

However, this doesn’t suggest their future achievements will be weak either.

They started later than the top Heavenly Talents of the Central Region, and the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures the Heaven’s Talents here could gain were stronger.

Now that they have come to the Central Region, in time, their achievements may not necessarily be inferior to others.

Their Martial Souls may be weak, but Martial Soul is a criterion for judging Martial Artist talent, yet never the sole standard.

What they lack is merely enough time and sufficient trials.

Currently low cultivation and weak Martial Souls cannot absolutely determine the future.

Xiao Yi was full of expectations for them.

The fourth update. (Explosion)
