A Green Leaf Cuts Stars

"This is the world of immortals? It's truly bizarre and unbelievable."

The Bad Commander looked at the modern furnishings in Xu Yi's home and the towering buildings outside the window, unable to help feeling deeply moved.

From the balcony, he saw the moon in the night sky. It was identical to the moon over Hidden Soldiers Valley at night, accompanied by countless sparkling stars, brilliant and dreamlike.

The only difference was the things on the ground, which looked so breathtaking and full of magic.

Li Hanyi felt much the same as the Bad Commander. Both of them were stunned.

The Tushan Second Head was still asleep. "So this is the Immortal Realm?" Li Hanyi asked.

"No. This is still the mortal world," Xu Yi said.

"It is hard to imagine what kind of power could turn the mortal world into this," Li Hanyi said.

"Group Owner, the moon here is so similar to the one in my world. Could the two be connected?" the Bad Commander asked.

"They are somewhat connected. If your world's course of history remains unchanged, it will become like this in about a thousand years. Although we come from different worlds, their historical backgrounds can sometimes be similar," Xu Yi explained.

"Will the Great Tang still exist a thousand years from now?" the Bad Commander asked. Though he had long known the answer, he still asked as if it were an obsession.

"Yes. But it will live on in the hearts and memories of countless people. No one has forgotten the history of the Great Tang, nor has it been swallowed by the River of Time," Xu Yi said.

"Is that so? Then that is enough," the Bad Commander said.

"Come on. I'll show you the power of a Cultivator. Cultivation really isn't that difficult."

Xu Yi walked over to a potted plant in his home and plucked a lush green leaf. Then he soared into the sky, moving so fast that he instantly tore through the Void and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"?" Li Hanyi and the Bad Commander.

Then, through the Live Stream Room's ability, the Bad Commander, Li Hanyi, and the drunken Tushan Second Head appeared beside Xu Yi.

By then, they had arrived in the vast, silent Universe.

They were roughly at the edge of the Milky Way Solar System, so they could see an enormous blazing fireball burning before them.

Xu Yi stood not far away, simply standing in the Universe.

"Group Owner, could that fireball be the sun?"

As the greatest sorcerer under heaven, Yuan Tiangang had long studied the Universe, the sun, moon, and stars. His heart now surged with emotion.

"That's right," Xu Yi said.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Li Hanyi's expression was somewhat blank, and somewhat adorable.

No matter how composed and unflappable she normally was, she was completely shaken now.

Her worldview was being struck again and again.

Since ancient times, people had believed the heavens were round and the earth was flat. Who could have imagined that the world they lived in was actually a sphere?

And in humanity's eyes, the sun had always held a transcendent, awe-inspiring position.

It had always hung above their heads, bringing the light of hope to the world and illuminating the darkness.

Who could have imagined that the sun was not above their heads at all, but far away from that sphere?

Standing in the boundless Universe, Li Hanyi, as a human, felt only endless loneliness and a fear of the Universe.

Humans were far too insignificant in the Universe.

Yet the Group Owner could remain in the Universe without being affected in the slightest.

Xu Yi looked around at the nearby stars and found a suitable one. It was about the size of the moon, perhaps even a little smaller.

The important thing was that there was no life on it. It was a completely barren planet.

Xu Yi held the emerald leaf between his fingers as an abstruse aura emerged from within him.

Then the leaf emitted a green mystical glow, and a sharp strand of sword qi spilled forth.

As a sword cultivator, Li Hanyi's perception of sword qi was exceptionally keen.

Yet when she saw the faint threads of sword qi released from the leaf in Xu Yi's hand, her scalp went numb. She could not comprehend it. Even looking at it for a moment longer made her feel as if her mind would split apart.

What level of sword qi was this? It pierced heaven and earth, eternal and everlasting!

The Bad Commander, meanwhile, felt that if he were not merely a projection at the moment, the pressure from this tiny trace of sword qi alone would have crushed him to death tens of thousands of times.

He did not even have the slightest thought of resisting. "So this is a Cultivator!" Reverence filled the Bad Commander's eyes.

Xu Yi waved his hand, and the leaf slashed out a stream of sword qi into the void of the Universe! In the eyes of the Bad Commander and Li Hanyi, it seemed as though the entire Universe had been cut open and divided into two.

The sword qi swept across the star Xu Yi had chosen. Visible to the naked eye, the star trembled before being cleaved apart.

The sword qi's aftershock did not diminish. It continued toward the edge of the star system, reducing an entire asteroid belt to dust along the way.

"See? This is the power of a Cultivator. I didn't even use much strength. I don't really know how strong I am myself."

Xu Yi turned back as he spoke, looking plain and harmless.

He seemed to be explaining it very seriously. "..." The Bad Commander, Li Hanyi, and the drunken Tushan Second Head.

After witnessing Xu Yi's sword strike, Yuan Tiangang and Li Hanyi's mindsets changed.

Even their gazes and words became cautious.

He truly was an immortal. One sword strike shattered a star, and the key was that he had used a single green leaf.

Perhaps even true immortals were not this outrageous! Li Hanyi felt that compared to Xu Yi, the immortals of her world might be fake.

"May I ask, Immortal, does this sword strike have a name?" the Bad Commander asked.

Li Hanyi's eyes shone. She was a genius in the sword path and deeply devoted to swordsmanship, but after seeing the Group Owner Xu Yi's strike, she found the myriad sword manuals of the world instantly dull. They were far too flashy and did not point to the essence of the sword path at all.

If she could grasp even a fraction of the divine intent behind this strike, would she not soon become invincible under heaven?

"It has no name. I just slashed casually," Xu Yi said.

"A casual strike could shake heaven and earth to such a degree," the Bad Commander said in amazement.

"Since I used a blade of grass to make the strike, shall we call it the Grass Sword?" Xu Yi said.

"Grass Sword, what a fine name! As expected of an immortal. I am truly impressed," Yuan Tiangang said.

"Grass Sword?" Li Hanyi asked doubtfully, feeling that something was off.

Xu Yi looked at the leaf in his hand. Since he had just nourished it with Magical Power, it now carried a faint divine charm and spiritual aura, as though life had been born within it.

Seeing this, Xu Yi tossed the leaf into the void. It flew straight into an unnamed space and vanished.

Li Hanyi secretly felt it was a pity. The leaf still retained the peerless Sword Intent of the immortal Group Owner. If she could obtain it and study it, it would surely benefit her greatly.

"All right, you have seen an immortal's methods. I'll close the Live Stream Room now."

Before the two could react, the live stream display went black.

Li Hanyi, Yuan Tiangang, and the Tushan Second Head vanished.

Xu Yi, meanwhile, flew onto the star that had just been split in two. It was a scene of utter ruin within.

However, there were still two figures on it.

One lay down while the other sat. They wore silver-white armor and had golden hair, snow-white skin, and a pair of white wings.

"Angels!"

Although Xu Yi had never seen angels before, he still recognized them.

They appeared to be injured, though. Xu Yi found it strange. Angels were currently one of the Universe's foremost top-tier civilizations. Who would dare injure angels?
