178: Chapter 177 Reaching the Combat Strength Standard Can Also Lead to Another Form of Supremacy

"Back then, Tianjizi deduced the ages and calculated the recovery of this era. He also calculated that the Lord of Heaven and Earth would return once more. With your talent, little brother, there's a high probability..."

"Li Si, shut up."

Great Heavenly Venerable Yun Liu spoke up directly to reprimand him, cutting off Sword Lord Li Si's words.

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly. "Do you also think I am the Reincarnation of the Lord of Guixu?"

"The Lord of Guixu? Little brother, have you been to Guixu?"

Sword Lord Li Si was stunned for a moment, then turned to Great Heavenly Venerable Yun Liu. "Yun Liu, you were lurking in Guixu for endless ages; did you not discover this little brother?"

"When I slashed open the boundary wall of Guixu a few years ago, I never saw this person," Yun Liu said in a cold voice, carrying a hint of endless detachment.

"So it was the Great Heavenly Venerable who slashed open Guixu."

Ye Xiu had a sudden realization. No wonder a Supreme Remnant escaped from Guixu back then; it was all because of the Great Heavenly Venerable.

"When you entered Guixu that day, I originally thought you were just an ignorant fool who didn't know the heights of the heavens. I didn't expect you to actually be someone of note." Yun Liu's face remained expressionless and incredibly cold.

After she finished speaking,

She continued, "Did that old ghost come out with you?"

"Old ghost? Is the Great Heavenly Venerable referring to Ming?"

"Ming? That old ghost is not simple. It's best to be careful. Regardless of whether you are the Reincarnation of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, that old ghost is definitely not as kind as he appears on the surface."

"I know this. Thank you for the reminder, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Ye Xiu naturally knew that the old man Ming was no saint; after all, Ming was a ruthless character who had buried an entire era.

For the sake of longevity,

That old man would stop at nothing.

He didn't know what Ming was planning right now, but for himself, it could be a direction to borrow strength from.

"Little brother, what are your plans for later? Are you interested in joining the Imperial Court? As fellow humans, we should naturally drive the concept of human supremacy into the Boundary Sea."

Sword Lord Li Si voiced an invitation, not wanting to miss out on such a talent.

Seeing that Ye Xiu remained expressionless,

He spoke again, "I've heard that Venerable Mu's future self is your wife, little brother. Actually, the Three Souls into One won't completely wipe out the original Primordial Spirit. If it succeeds, the memories won't disappear either..."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. Was this Blade Master a clown?

To be discussing this kind of topic at a time like this.

"What he means is, if possible, the Imperial Court will grant you a lifetime of peace if you marry into Venerable Mu's household," Yun Liu said, still in that cold tone.

F*ck...

This is too much.

Ye Xiu's face darkened. He had originally had some good feelings toward the two of them.

Now, they were gone.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and the three of them stopped speaking.

In the Chaos,

Xing Mu, who was sitting cross-legged, was enveloped in divine light.

Her aura was surging, and her three Primordial Spirits were undergoing Fusion at high speed.

Even Ye Xiu, who had already reached the Immortal Lord Realm,

Felt his heart skip a beat upon sensing the current aura.

"If this girl succeeds in the Fusion, she might truly be able to surpass the [Venerable Realm]."

...

Ten years later.

Visions began to rise within the Chaos.

Visions of heaven and earth.

"It's done."

In Yun Liu's cold voice, there was a hint of relief.

The Imperial Court's plans for ages

Were all for the sake of annexing the Main World and allowing Xing Mu to achieve Three Souls into One, accomplishing a feat unprecedented in history.

Now, she had succeeded.

Beneath that peerless immortal face, it was still Xing Mu's countenance.

"Return to the Imperial Court."

Xing Mu slowly stood up, and her immortal eyes, which had been brilliant with divine light, transformed into incredibly mysterious double pupils.

"Are you Xing Mu? Or Xingyue?"

Ye Xiu stared at those familiar eyes, blocking the path of the three.

"This Palace is Xing Mu. I was in the past, I will be in the future, and I have always been. Move aside."

As her voice fell,

Xing Mu's originally indifferent immortal face saw her Liu Mei brows furrow.

She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression shifted. After a brief pause of a few seconds, she finally sighed.

She said softly, "The future is inherently ethereal; everything is but a reflection in the water. Why must Your Excellency be so persistent?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Ye Xiu stared intently at Xing Mu. In that moment just now, he had felt a familiar aura.

It came from Ji Xingyue.

"Affinities arise and fade. This Palace... why don't you guess?"

Xing Mu, who had an indifferent face, suddenly shifted her style, revealing a smile and acting playfully, completely unlike her previous self.

"Did it fail?"

Looking at the familiar smile before him, Ye Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the Three Souls into One,

He hoped even more that Ji Xingyue could retain her personality and consciousness.

"What do you mean 'failed' or not? If we truly unified, the three of us... oh, no, the four of us would all disappear. So we just merged our Primordial Spirits and let our consciousnesses coexist."

Xing Mu giggled. "As the present self, I am the primary consciousness. The past self seems a bit dissatisfied with this result, but whatever."

"This is for the best."

Ye Xiu's solemn expression softened considerably.

Four personality consciousnesses—clearly, that Yaomei who was always calling him 'husband' had also remained.

This could be considered a perfect ending.

"We're leaving. If you have time, come visit the Imperial Court. It seems a certain consciousness really wants to see you, but I've overruled her, haha..."

Xing Mu laughed triumphantly. After turning to greet Li Si and Yun Liu,

She took a step forward.

She disappeared into the Chaos.

Watching the three of them depart,

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly and likewise returned to the Main World.

...

...

Imperial Court.

Li Si looked at the rather lively Xing Mu and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what's the situation with you? Do you still remember who your brother is?"

"Pah... Li Si, who are you calling sister? How shameless."

"It's over. With the present self in control of the consciousness, this combat power will probably take a twenty percent hit. What a massive loss."

"Xing Mu, stop messing around. Let's talk business."

Yun Liu spoke coldly.

As her voice fell,

Xing Mu, who had been smiling, immediately adopted an indifferent expression.

"The power of the Main World is indeed vast. Unfortunately... the future self is no longer pure. The Three Souls into One has failed." Xing Mu touched her abdomen, a flash of confusion appearing in her eyes.

Such vast power from the Main World

Was actually nurturing a life that had not yet fully formed. This...

She looked in the direction of Great Xia.

In her heart, she became even more certain of that young man's identity.

"Xing Mu, are you still in the Venerable Realm?"

Yun Liu frowned slightly. Having planned for ages, the Imperial Court had paid a huge price for today, yet it had actually failed.

"Due to some special reasons, I didn't reach the expected strength. However... if you two can take another step forward, you should be able to make up for this."

Xing Mu waved her hand slightly.

The Source of the Main World instantly appeared in her hand.

"This..."

Li Si looked at the Source of the Main World, disbelief in his eyes.

This was the foundation of the Main World's existence. If they devoured such a treasure, they could naturally reach the level of a Venerable in terms of combat power, just as Xing Mu had in the past.

That is, attaining a Different Path to Venerable Status.

Back then, Xing Mu had become Venerable Mu by relying on this very treasure.

"If we devour the Source of the Main World, this Main World that has only just been perfected will likely enter an Era of Magic Decline again."

Yun Liu frowned.

She did not take the Source of the Main World that Xing Mu offered.

"Although this Palace cannot currently utilize the power of the Main World, these eyes have indeed completely fused with it. As long as this Palace remains in the Main World, this world will not fall into Chaos."

While speaking,

Xing Mu directly split the Source of the Main World in two and handed them to the pair.

Li Si and Yun Liu said nothing more.

After taking the Source of the Main World and exchanging a glance, they instantly vanished.

Clearly, they had gone into secluded cultivation.
