"Not bad. Ancestral God Realm."
Ye Wu replied respectfully.
Yet from the look of him, he seemed to find the Ancestral God Realm rather ordinary, nothing special at all.
"Ancestral God?"
Ye Chang'an nodded. Ye Wu had previously told him that Xuanyuan Hao had been a Half-step Ancestral God in his previous life.
Although that realm was still far beyond Ye Chang'an, it did not stir the slightest ripple in his heart.
The two spoke as if it were nothing, but Xiang Dongliu, standing opposite them, was already reeling with stormy waves in his heart.
This! He could see the realm of my true body merely through this incarnation! Just what kind of existence is this man...?!
Xiang Dongliu was inwardly astonished.
And what did he mean by "not bad"?
Were Ancestral Gods merely "not bad" these days?
Still, he did not dare ask. Asking would only be asking for humiliation.
At that moment, in an unknown place.
A middle-aged man strode leisurely through the void, drinking from a gourd as he walked.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted.
"Hm? He can even see the realm of my true body! This man is incredibly powerful! Ye Chang'an... just who are you?"
Xiang Dongliu halted, obvious shock filling his eyes.
Then he shook his head with a smile, took a sip of wine, and continued onward.
His curiosity about Ye Chang'an rose once more.
Back to Ye Chang'an's side.
"By the way, Xiang Dongliu, you still haven't told me what you came here for."
Ye Chang'an asked.
"I sensed that the three of them had come to the Yin Extreme Stone, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to run into you."
Xiang Dongliu answered truthfully.
At that, Xiang Dongliu seemed to understand something.
"You came to take away the Yin Extreme Stone?"
"Yep." Ye Chang'an nodded.
Hearing this, Xiang Dongliu sized up Ye Chang'an, then glanced at Ye Wu.
This really was the best arrangement.
After all, they could not touch it, but Ye Chang'an could.
Had he not seen how powerful the person beside Ye Chang'an was?
If Ye Chang'an took away the Yin Extreme Stone, there should be no danger.
In truth, when Xiang Dongliu had told Xuan Tianyue and the others that the Yin Extreme Stone could not be touched, he had not said much.
He had merely said it was a forbidden object and could not be touched.
In fact, even though his true body was in the Ancestral God Realm, he did not dare move this thing lightly.
"Come to think of it, this incarnation of yours isn't here just to watch this thing and keep people from touching it, is it?"
Ye Chang'an suddenly guessed.
"That's right. But now that you're taking the Yin Extreme Stone away, I won't need to keep watch anymore."
"You think highly of me."
Ye Chang'an smiled.
"It's hard to underestimate you."
Xiang Dongliu replied with a smile as well, his gaze covertly flicking toward Ye Wu.
"System, I can take away the Yin Extreme Stone, right? It won't affect it, will it?"
Just as Ye Chang'an was preparing to take away the Yin Extreme Stone, he felt it would be better to ask the system first.
[Host, rest assured. The conditions of the Primordial Divine Hall are fully capable of nurturing the Yin Extreme Stone in its current state.]
"Then that's good. But why was the Yang Extreme Stone in such a low-level world, where it could be opened so easily, while the Yin Extreme Stone lies in the deepest reaches of the universe and is even nurtured by the Cosmic Origin?"
Ye Chang'an suddenly grew curious.
[One yin, one yang; two extremes, two paths. When the people within these two stones both reach the realm required by the caster, once they merge, it will be a great fortune of heaven and earth.]
"Caster? So someone really is plotting this."
[Otherwise, why do you think this thing would appear in the universe? The Yang Extreme Stone and Yin Extreme Stone were formed when the Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal was split into two.] [The Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal is not something that can be produced here.]
"Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal? What's that?"
[The Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal is the Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal. Anything more is beyond what someone of your realm can know.]
"Tch. Fine, don't tell me."
Seeing that the system would not elaborate, Ye Chang'an did not press further.
He was not all that interested in the Yin-Yang Source Extreme Crystal anyway.
"Ye Wu, take this Yin Extreme Stone back and place it in the hall to be nurtured."
"Yes."
At that, Ye Wu waved a hand, and the Yin Extreme Stone suddenly burst forth with dazzling blue light.
The next moment, an energy barrier manifested. Above it, a river of energy flowed in from the void.
Clearly, it was power from the Cosmic Origin.
Immediately afterward, the river of energy suddenly vanished, and the energy barrier disappeared without a trace as well.
This sight left Xuan Tianyue and the others dumbfounded.
After all, they had not heard the conversation Ye Chang'an, Ye Wu, and Xiang Dongliu had just had.
At the same time, the Yin Extreme Stone vanished as well.
Ye Wu had placed it within the Primordial Divine Hall.
"With the Yin Extreme Stone in hand, it's time to go back for tea. It should still be hot."
Ye Wu immediately understood.
A portal appeared before Ye Chang'an.
"Ye Wu, let's go."
As he spoke, Ye Chang'an stepped into the portal.
"Senior Xiang, what happens next? The Yin Extreme Stone has already been taken away. Will those Innate Divine Saints at the ninth level of the Dao Master Realm still make a move?"
Watching Ye Chang'an and Ye Wu leave, Xuan Tianyue turned to Xiang Dongliu and asked.
"Don't worry. Even if they still covet the Yin Extreme Stone, they would only be going to their deaths."
Xiang Dongliu smiled as he looked toward the spot where Ye Chang'an had disappeared.
Trying to snatch the Yin Extreme Stone from Ye Chang'an?
No matter how many ninth-level Dao Master Realm Innate Divine Saints came, it would be useless.
Now that the Yin Extreme Stone had been taken away, Xiang Dongliu felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.
Although he had previously held back several ninth-level Dao Master Realm Innate Divine Saints alone, he had not been under much pressure.
But the Yin Extreme Stone had come from a great mighty figure, after all, so he did not dare act recklessly.
If there had not been someone he needed to protect in this universe, he would not have insisted on wading into this muddy water.
Heavenly Desolation Continent.
Eastern Domain, Tianfeng City.
Within the City Lord's Mansion.
After half a month of travel, Mo Chengfeng and the others had returned to Tianfeng City.
That day, Li Moyang finally woke up.
"Brother, you're finally awake."
Watching Li Moyang slowly open his eyes, Li Wuxun's face was full of excitement.
After all, this was his biological older brother.
"Wuxun? Where is this?"
Li Moyang looked at the young man before him and his surroundings, utterly bewildered.
Li Wuxun then explained the whole sequence of events to him.
Naturally, he also told him about Mo Lianbing.
After hearing everything, Li Moyang's eyes became complicated, and a slight furrow appeared between his righteous brows.
"Big Brother, what do you think? What are you planning to do?"
Seeing Li Moyang remain silent, Li Wuxun hurriedly asked.
Li Moyang merely rose and walked to the window. Looking at the distant sky, he still said nothing.
Outside the door, Mo Lianbing had witnessed everything.
Mo Lianbing had come to check on the Li brothers, only to happen upon their conversation.
Looking at that upright back beside the window, so full of righteous bearing, Mo Lianbing was deeply curious.
What will he think?
But clearly, none of them would receive an answer anytime soon, including Li Moyang himself.
Beyond the universe, a massive star radiated sacred brilliance.
There were not many traces of living beings upon that star.
Within a magnificent floating hall.
A child who appeared to be only six or seven years old suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze was resplendent, as if it carried the might of heaven.
