175: Chapter 174 Body-Severing Technique, Three Gods United

"Xing Mu..."

Ye Xiu looked at the familiar figure before him and remained silent for several seconds.

He finally spoke slowly: "Three Souls into One... the Imperial Court has planned everything..."

"I suppose so. Your appearance was an accident, but hers was destined long ago." Xing Mu pointed at Ji Xingyue.

"Body Severing Technique? Over these years, the Main World has indeed produced some notable figures."

Ming looked at Ji Xingyue and chuckled while stroking his beard. "No wonder the Main World doesn't reject you, little girl. It turns out you already have that person's aura within your body."

Upon closer observation.

Ming became even more certain of his deduction and more resolute in his thoughts.

"General, who is this?"

After Ming appeared.

Ji Xingyue felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.

"This old man is called Ming. I come from within the Return to Ruins and am on good terms with this young friend. Do not misunderstand, young lady."

After saying that.

He looked back at Xing Mu. "You're quite remarkable, little girl. Past, future, and present—combining the power of three bodies. If you were to further control the Main World, I fear you could obtain a power never seen before throughout the ages."

"You old man, you certainly know a lot."

Xing Mu sized Ming up for a long time before clicking her tongue in wonder. "A monster who has lived for countless years, even more ancient than that fellow Dong Huang."

Before Ming could respond.

Ye Xiu asked with a heavy expression, "What will happen when the Three Souls into One?"

"What else? The consciousnesses merge. Alright, this palace's time is running out. These things were destined long ago; even if you want to stop it, you can't change anything."

"What if I truly intend to stop it?"

"Three people in the Venerable Realm—you can't fight them... I'm leaving."

Xing Mu finished speaking.

Her eyes changed instantly.

She revealed that cold expression from before.

Her gaze swept around, noticeably lingering for a moment when she saw Ming.

Then, she spoke indifferently to Ji Xingyue.

"This palace doesn't have much time to wait. Complete the Fusion as quickly as possible. New changes seem to have appeared within the River of Time."

After saying that.

She had already arrived at the illusory area of the River of Time.

A terrifying Heaven and Earth power erupted.

In a startling manner, it instantly masked all traces of aura within the Main World.

As all of this occurred.

All the supreme experts within the Main World went silent.

Especially Dong Huang.

Upon seeing Ming's appearance.

The Ghost Realm was isolated, the Blood Coffin dimmed, and he hid all of his aura completely, as if fearing something, not daring to reveal even a hint of his presence.

"Senior, they seem to be very afraid of you?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised. He knew this old man Ming had an extremely ancient identity, but it shouldn't be enough to make Dong Huang cower like that.

That was someone in a Supreme Position.

A supreme expert ranked in the Venerable Realm.

"Didn't you all arrange an Ancient Realm? This old man should be at that level."

Ming chuckled.

Then he spoke again: "Unfortunately, this old man has long since perished. I only exist by relying on the world established by that adult. Therefore, the range in which I can move is very limited."

"In other words, Senior cannot leave the Main World."

"Yes."

Ming did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

Ye Xiu sighed inwardly.

An expert who surpassed the Venerable Realm actually couldn't leave the Main World; that was too much of a waste.

Although he didn't know why this old man wanted to follow him.

It was a good thing.

Even though he had achieved Immortal Ascension, having just entered the immortal status, he was only at the Monarch Realm. Above that were the Immortal King and Immortal Venerable.

Besides that.

His own Heavenly Emperor Sutra had already reached its limit.

To become an Immortal King, he would need to complete the Heavenly Emperor Sutra, which was also extremely difficult for him.

After all, the remaining Incomplete Manuals were in the hands of Immortal Venerables.

Which corresponded to the Status of the Red Dust Immortal, equivalent to the Supreme Position.

He feared it would be difficult to obtain them from such experts on his own; only by using the method of borrowing strength against strength would he have a chance to complete the Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

Of course.

There was another way.

That was to let the Heaven and Earth Law reach the Supreme Realm, and then perform a Fusion of the two laws.

In that case, his combat power would be strengthened like never before, perhaps allowing him to bypass the Immortal King Rank and directly obtain combat power comparable to the Supreme Position.

"General, this young lady must leave now." Ji Xingyue gave a slight bow toward Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu looked at Ji Xingyue, a complex look appearing in his eyes.

After several seconds of silence.

He spoke seriously: "Xingyue, if you do not wish for the Three Souls into One, go to the Return to Ruins. They won't dare to enter there. Once my strength is sufficient, I will come and bring you back."

"Since it was destined long ago, then this young lady naturally will not fear it. Perhaps the next time we meet, I will appear before the General again with a new identity."

Ji Xingyue revealed a smile.

Then, she disappeared above the firmament.

Ye Xiu watched Ji Xingyue's departing figure, a complex expression in his eyes.

Three Souls into One.

Will there really be a chance to meet again?

Even if they merge, will she still be her?

With Ji Xingyue's departure.

A light shout rang out through the Main World.

"Ten Thousand Daos into One, Heaven and Earth are only Me."

As the voice fell.

All the strange phenomena in the Main World gradually vanished.

After the nine tides, the Main World returned to the primeval era. The vast and boundless land was filled with extremely dense Spiritual Qi, as if this world was full of immortal mountains and precious lands everywhere.

At this moment.

Ji Xingyue's aura was powerful enough to make one's heart palpitate.

"It seems the Main World cannot be completely controlled by anyone. However, this is enough."

After she took one last look at Ye Xiu.

She then took a step forward and directly entered the endless Chaos World.

Departing along with her.

Was also Xing Mu, who had been guarding the side of the River of Time.

"Young friend, you seem very concerned about them?"

Hearing Ming's question.

Ye Xiu put away his complex expression: "In this life, I don't have many friends. They count as such, and..."

Then, Ye Xiu slowly recounted his experiences.

These several hundred years of time seemed long, but to him, they weren't actually that long.

Ming did not interrupt Ye Xiu's words.

He listened quietly.

After a long... long... time.

Ming finally sighed: "So young friend's growth was so difficult. The Princess Consort was indeed saved, but the future self is like floating duckweed or a rootless tree; it is difficult to maintain for long."

"What do you mean, Senior?"

"The Princess Consort seems real, but she was actually forcibly captured using extremely powerful cultivation. The Body Severing Technique has existed since ancient times, but very few people ever try it."

"Why?"

Ye Xiu looked into the depths of the Chaos.

The two women were engaged in an unimaginable battle there.
