Qiongjian Palace, the largest mysterious boat in Tianwei Sword Domain, is several miles long.
At this moment, the Xuanzhou was flying back to Tianwei Sword Region at the fastest speed, but the atmosphere inside the Xuanzhou was more depressing than ever before.
"Sword Master, are you alright?" a Sword Domain elder said worriedly. Three Sword Attendants died, and twenty-five elders died—including seven of the top ten elders. Now, he, who was originally ranked fifth, has become the first person under the Sword Master of Tianwei Sword Domain. How tragic and sad.
Thinking back on everything that happened today on the Sea God Platform in the Supreme Ocean Palace, it seemed like the most absurd and terrifying nightmare.
“The injury is not serious. She didn’t intend to kill me from the beginning, and she didn’t even use heavy hands.” Xuanyuan Wentian pressed his right arm with his left hand. When he said these words, he didn’t feel lucky at all. Because the other party did this just to let Yun Che kill him in the future, which was equivalent to letting go of a tool that could be useful in the future.
The word "she" made all the Sword Domain elders tremble all over. The fear that never dissipated was like a demon awakened deep in their souls, making them feel cold all over.
“Sword Master, that person… who is she? How could such a terrifying person exist in this world?” Xuanyuan Jue said in extreme fear. He had even attacked in a rage before the Devil Sword Conference, relying on his knowledge of Yun Che’s “background” to kill Yun Che in public. Thinking about it now, he was still alive, which was simply a waste of his life.
“I don’t know.” Xuanyuan Wentian shook his head. His face was ashen, without any trace of his usual arrogance and dominance. “But she… must not be from this world!”
"Not... from this world?"
“This is not important at all.” Xuanyuan Wentian frowned and looked at Xuanyuan and asked, “Wendao, on the Sea God Arena, after she destroyed our Northern Territory, she did not continue to ask me who killed Xiao Ying in Liuyun City that year... because she already knew it was you, so there was no need to ask again.”
"What...what...what!?" Xuanyuan asked, his face turning pale with shock.
“Hmph!” Xuanyuan Wentian gnashed his teeth and said, “When she asked that question, you were so scared that you couldn’t even stand. With her terrifying state, how could she not notice it!”
"Then...what should I do...what should I do..." Xuanyuan asked, he was so scared that his whole body went limp and his legs were shaking.
“Hmph!” Xuanyuan Wentian’s face darkened. “Who can I blame for all this? I can only blame you for being foolish and soft-hearted, arrogant and conceited. Seeing that Xiao Ying was stubborn, you just killed him without searching his soul or exterminating his entire family. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be Yun Che today, and there wouldn’t be the disaster today.”
"I...I..." Xuanyuan asked, staggering with fear and unable to speak.
“Sword Master, the things that happened back then cannot be blamed entirely on the young master.” Xuanyuan Jue said carefully: “Who would have thought that a small figure in the small Floating Cloud City would actually be Yun Qinghong’s sworn brother. Even if it were me, after hearing that he had contact with Yun Qinghong, I would not think that I could really get useful information from him, let alone waste energy on searching his soul and exterminating his family. Besides, the young master is still young after all…”
“Enough! No need to excuse him.” Xuanyuan Wendao’s eyebrows were twisted to the point of almost standing up: “Wendao, after what happened today, do you understand why your father has been pursuing power at all costs in his life? In this world, only those with absolute power can have absolute rights and can decide the fate and life and death of others at will... That person, just because she has absolute power, in front of her, even I, Xuanyuan Wentian, am a dog that can be trampled on at will!”
"Father, what should I do now...what should I do...can I just...wait to die..." Xuanyuan asked, totally at a loss. As the young master of the Sword Domain, he had never known what "danger" meant from birth to yesterday. But now, the most terrifying death threat in the world suddenly fell upon him.
“Waiting to die? Why do you want to die?” Blood was flowing from Xuanyuan Wentian’s fingers. He said viciously, “Wendao, have you forgotten all the teachings I have given you since you were little? You are my son, Xuanyuan Wentian, and you must live! Integrity and pride are all bullshit in front of life! Even if you have to endure humiliation and lose all your dignity, you must kneel down and live... Because only by living can everything be possible!”
Xuanyuan was stunned and said in a trembling voice: "Father, what you mean is..."
Xuanyuan Wentian took a deep breath, “Nineteen days later, Princess Xue will be engaged to Yun Che… At that time, my father and I will be there in person, with the greatest gift, and with all our dignity… For the time you killed Xiao Ying, even if we have to kneel down… kowtow tens of thousands of times… and let those people in the Xiao family who want revenge torture and trample on you like a dog… As long as Yun Che doesn’t kill you, we can do anything! We can endure anything!”
“A man’s strength does not lie in how much capital he has, but in how much humiliation he can endure! If you can do this, then your father will be able to hand over the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain to you without any worries.”
Xuanyuan Wentian's words made his body tremble even more violently. He nodded with a dazed look in his eyes: "Father, I... I understand..."
“…Jiuding, send someone to keep an eye on Fen Juechen’s movements at all times.” Xuanyuan Wentian said, and closed his eyes tiredly.
"Yes, Sword Master." Xuanyuan Jiuding's answer was dim and weak.

The Supreme Sea Palace.
Back at the Grand Cloud Pavilion, Yun Che carefully put Xiao Yun down, then placed his right palm on his forehead, and slowly injected the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the Great Buddha Technique. Although Xiao Yun's soul was not seriously injured, it was greatly damaged. If he was not helped to recover, he would be unconscious for a long time. He wanted Xiao Yun to wake up as soon as possible and then bring him back to Floating Cloud City.
Jasmine glanced at him, then turned her face away, facing away from him. She also turned her back to Xia Yuanba and Feng Xue'er, who had come in with her and were very nervous.
Xia Yuanba's palms tightened and loosened, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to address Jasmine. After struggling for a while, he suddenly had an idea... Although Yun Che said that she was younger than him, she was Yun Che's master after all, so she was naturally a generation older than Yun Che, regardless of age. A generation older than Yun Che meant a generation older than him.
Xia Yuanba immediately made up his mind. When he spoke, his voice was still full of nervousness: "Senior...Senior, Junior Xia..."
"You guys get out!" Jasmine said coldly without even turning her head.
“…” Xia Yuanba and Feng Xue’er were both stunned, looking pitifully at Yun Che for help.
“Xue’er, go back to your father first. He must have a lot to say to you. Yuanba, thank Senior Gu Cang for me… Ahem, my master is not used to seeing people other than me, and she may have something special to say to me.” Yun Che said with a headache. Although Jasmine’s personality has been quietly changing over the years, the only thing that has not changed is her arrogance. There has never been anything in the Profound Sky Continent that she can take seriously… Not to mention people, even when talking about the Dragon God’s residual soul and the Golden Crow’s soul, she clearly has a disdainful tone.
“Ah…Okay, okay.” Xia Yuanba nodded hurriedly: “Sister Xue’er, let’s go out first.”
“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er responded obediently… As early as on the Sea God Stage, she had been frightened several times by Jasmine’s aura and vicious methods.
Xia Yuanba and Feng Xue'er left nervously. Yun Che said with a face full of resentment: "Jasmine, can't you be a little gentler? Yuanba is fine, but what about scaring my Xue'er?"
"Humph, what does their life or death have to do with me?" Jasmine said disdainfully.
Yun Che shrugged his shoulders and looked Jasmine up and down. His eyes sparkled as he said, “Jasmine, your reshaped body is exactly the same as before. There is absolutely no change at all. Hmm… By the way, let me feel the touch of your body to see if it feels different from before.”
“Get lost!” Jasmine slapped Yun Che’s hand away and took two steps back nervously. Then she raised her eyebrows and said with a straight face, “Due to the abnormality of your lifeline, the perfection of my new body is indeed beyond expectations. It will also take longer than expected. There will be no problems for at least thirty years. As long as we find another complete Netherworld Udumbara Flower within these thirty years, there will be no more trouble.”
“Jasmine, I have a question. I want to ask you again. What is your strength…exactly what level?” Yun Che’s face was filled with seriousness. Thinking of her earth-shattering actions on the Sea God Stage, his eyes unconsciously widened a bit: “Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is 70,000 to 80,000 miles away from here. You can actually…can actually…”
"That's because the space here is too fragile." Jasmine said with disdain.
“The space… is too fragile?” Yun Che looked puzzled.
“The spatial laws of this planet are extremely low-level. Not to mention moving across a mere 70,000 miles, even crossing a million miles in an instant is a piece of cake.” Jasmine’s voice was calm, as if she was just talking about something very ordinary. “If it were the world where I was born, the same thing would be impossible for me to do with my current strength.”
Jasmine turned around and said, “To put it another way, with your current strength, you don’t even need to use your full strength to collapse a large area of space with one sword. But if you were to reach a world with very high spatial laws—such as the world I was born in, even if your profound strength was ten times stronger, at your full strength, let alone causing the space to collapse, there wouldn’t even be the slightest distortion.”
“…” Yun Che opened his mouth, shocked. At the same time, he also noticed that Jasmine said “with my current strength…”
"So...how much strength do you have now compared to when you were at your peak?"
Jasmine glanced at her own snow-white jade-like palm, then gently grasped it: "Less than 10%."
“!@#¥%…” Yun Che took a deep breath. She was already so terrifying with less than 10% of her power. How powerful would Jasmine be at her full power? Was the world she lived in full of monsters like this?
"However, once the body is reshaped, strength will naturally recover quickly. With my current physical condition, it will only take about a year for my strength to be fully restored." Jasmine said this lightly, with no trace of joy in her diamond-like eyes.
"That……"
Yun Che only said one word, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak. He wanted to ask Jasmine where she would go after her body was rebuilt and she was no longer forced to depend on his life? Would she go back to the home she had left for seven years, or...
He didn't dare ask.
Afraid of getting the answer he was afraid to hear.
“Then… why did you say you wanted to stay in Supreme for one more day?” Yun Che asked another question, but his tone had become particularly unnatural.
Jasmine slowly turned her eyes and looked towards the south. Her pale eyebrows knitted slightly and she said, “I want to go to the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave again.”
"Now that I have rebuilt my new body, it is no longer just a soul. The evil energy of the Moon Slaughter Demon Cave has no effect on me. I must go and see what exactly is able to release such a high-level dark aura."
