Chapter 2383: A Historic Meeting!

And so, a thousand years passed.

Within a hidden spatial rift, Ye Yuan and Qin Chao were cultivating.

"Senior, you are truly incredible! I never dared to imagine that someone could comprehend these four laws to such an extent! But why had I never heard of you before?"

The longer he spent with Ye Yuan, the more he found it unbelievable.

How could a person be so monstrous?

Over this millennium, Ye Yuan's mastery of the laws of time and space had advanced by leaps and bounds.

His spatial law had already reached the second stage of the Origin!

His temporal law had also reached a ratio of one to three hundred!

One must know, these were the two supreme laws. Even a sliver of progress in ten thousand years would be cause for gratitude to heaven and earth.

But Ye Yuan had completely surpassed Qin Chao's imagination.

Ye Yuan glanced at Qin Chao and smiled. "This matter is somewhat incredible to explain. I'm not sure if teaching you the way of the sword is right or wrong. But since I'm here, I have to do something."

Qin Chao was baffled. "What's wrong with teaching me the way of the sword?"

Ye Yuan shook his head. "You wouldn't understand these things. Hmm... I haven't even figured them out myself."

In this world, Ye Yuan found that his speed of comprehending the laws of time and space was even faster than in the Primordial War Realm.

He felt this might be due to traveling through time and space.

However, his sudden appearance had already disrupted the balance of the original world.

So, did cultivating these things still hold meaning?

He had also hesitated over whether to teach Qin Chao.

He had likewise hesitated over whether to kill the divine race.

But later, he came to a realization.

Since he had arrived here, even if he did nothing, he had already altered the course of the world.

So what difference did it make whether he did more or less?

In this current time and space, humanity had clearly not yet risen.

Ye Yuan didn't know which era of the previous epoch this was, but since he was here, leaving behind a legacy to make humanity stronger couldn't be a bad thing.

Seeing humanity so bullied while doing nothing was not Ye Yuan's style.

Thus, he resolutely acted.

He thought highly of Qin Chao, so he was willing to spend a thousand years teaching him the way of the sword.

In a thousand years, Qin Chao had broken through from Heavenly Venerate to Heavenly Emperor!

"Are you homesick? Or rather, missing someone?" Ye Yuan looked at Qin Chao with a knowing smile.

Qin Chao's face reddened, but he still frankly nodded.

Lately, Qin Chao had been somewhat distracted while practicing the sword—how could Ye Yuan not notice?

This kid was missing Mo Xiaocao.

"Alright, it's been a long time since we went out. Time to take a look outside." Ye Yuan stood up.

Qin Chao's expression changed. "Senior, you must not! You are now a thorn in the divine race's side. How can you risk yourself?"

Ye Yuan laughed. "To capture me, they're not qualified yet! Let's go."

Although the Lesser Tongtian Mountain hadn't come with him, Ye Yuan discovered that he could cross time and space to mobilize its power!

Using the Lesser Tongtian Mountain's power to shield the heavenly secrets, no one could detect him!

...

At the Violet Cloud Sect, the Nine-Pattern Dao Realm expert had not yet left.

Although they knew the hope of finding Ye Yuan was slim, Miluo refused to give up.

But Ye Yuan quietly entered the Violet Cloud Sect—how could a mere early-stage Nine-Pattern Dao Realm expert detect him?

Upon returning to the Violet Cloud Sect, his first task was not to see Mo Xiaocao, but to pay respects to Mo Qingshan.

Seeing Qin Chao, Mo Qingshan's heart shook violently.

"You... you broke through to the Heavenly Emperor realm so quickly?"

Before leaving, Qin Chao was only at the third level of Heavenly Venerate.

In just a thousand years, he had reached the Heavenly Emperor realm—how could Mo Qingshan not be shocked?

After paying respects, Qin Chao smiled. "Over this millennium, the senior has spared no effort in refining many miraculous pills for me. A hundred years ago, I broke through to the Heavenly Emperor realm."

Mo Qingshan's jaw dropped as he stared at Ye Yuan in astonishment.

He had never imagined that Ye Yuan was also a master of the alchemy path!

What kind of pills could elevate someone from the third level of Heavenly Venerate to the Heavenly Emperor realm in a thousand years?

If reaching the Heavenly Emperor realm were that easy, why would anyone bother with arduous cultivation?

This young man was truly mysterious to the extreme!

In fact, this era had abundant spiritual energy, and many spiritual herbs unseen in later ages could be found here.

For Ye Yuan, casually refining a few seventh-grade pills was far too easy.

After some pleasantries, Mo Qingshan suppressed his shock and said to Ye Yuan, "Sir, a great human cultivator has been waiting at the Violet Cloud Sect for over a thousand years just to meet you. Would you be willing to see him?"

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised. "Oh? Tell me about it."

Mo Qingshan recounted the whole story, only to find Ye Yuan's expression suddenly become very interesting.

It was the first time he had seen this young man's emotions fluctuate.

"You say his name is Xuanji?" Ye Yuan took a deep breath.

...

When the two met, their outward appearances were calm, but inwardly, a storm raged.

Xuanji the Heavenly Emperor was shocked that a Heavenly Emperor realm martial artist had appeared in the Violet Cloud Sect without his knowledge.

Ye Yuan was shocked that this Xuanji was not the Xuanji of later ages!

Then this person must be the father of the later Xuanji, the powerful being who sacrificed himself to shield humanity's heavenly secrets!

Only at this moment did Ye Yuan suddenly realize which era he had come to!

He had inadvertently returned to the era of the later Xuanji's father!

At this time, the Xuanji Heavenly Emperor before him had not yet died, clearly indicating that the grand plans of the various races had not truly begun.

So, was this the era before humanity's great rise?

"Am I reliving history, or is this history real? I feel as if everything is a dream. What are time and space? What kind of existence am I?"

Meeting the father of Xuanji the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yuan's heart gave rise to even more questions.

He had traveled through time and space, but was this time and space real?

If it wasn't real, history was already something that had happened.

But if it was real, then what was he?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought!

"It's truly amazing! You stand right before me, yet why do I feel as if you don't exist?" Xuanji the Heavenly Emperor broke the silence first, his voice filled with wonder.

His mastery of the art of deduction had long reached its peak.

Even the divine race's Miluo Heavenly Master was inferior to him in this path—this showed how formidable his abilities were.

Yet, a living person standing before him gave him an extremely unreal feeling.

How absurd was that feeling?

He had imagined many scenarios for their meeting, but never this.

Ye Yuan also snapped out of his shock and smiled. "Perhaps your feeling is not wrong. I truly do not exist. Or rather, I am a special existence."

Xuanji the Heavenly Emperor's pupils contracted. He had not expected such an answer.
