Fengyun World.
One day, Jiang Li, along with the two women, Huang Rong, landed beside a lake.
This was a place of exquisite beauty. Several wooden houses were built by the lake, and a kind-faced old man was sitting there, fishing.
As the three of them landed, the old man rose with a look of surprise, staring at them.
"Who would have thought the number one expert in the world would be hiding in the mountains, fishing every day!"
Jiang Li smiled, stepping forward.
This old man was none other than Xiao Sanxiao.
Jiang Li still admired his state of mind.
Having lived for four thousand years, he hadn't become a lunatic like Dishitian, instead, he indulged in the beauty of nature every day.
"May I ask, young friends, who are you?"
Xiao Sanxiao's expression showed surprise.
The other party's words clearly indicated they knew his identity.
Yet, his existence was unknown even to Dishitian.
"I am Jiang Li, and these two are my friends. Old senior, you seem to be enjoying a carefree life!"
Jiang Li introduced Huang Rong and Yaoyue to Xiao Sanxiao.
"I'd say it's you, young friend, who truly enjoys a carefree life. Having two beautiful companions is far better than being a lonely old man like me!"
Xiao Sanxiao, seeing that Jiang Li didn't seem to be looking for trouble, led the three of them into the wooden house and poured them tea.
"Judging by your cultivation, young friend, it's even above mine. You've come here, surely not just to see this old immortal, right?"
His state of mind was very high.
For him, whether he was invincible or if someone was stronger than him, it didn't matter much.
After the initial shock, he became calm.
He had no ambitions, so there was no need to dwell on the matters of strength and weakness.
"Old senior is right. This junior has come to exchange for your Hun Tian Si Jue and Sen Luo Wan Dao Gongfa!"
"Of course, if we could also obtain some of your Dragon Turtle Blood, that would be ideal."
Jiang Li didn't waste any time and got straight to the point, stating his intentions.
These two martial arts were the crystallization of Xiao Sanxiao's four thousand years of martial arts knowledge; they were definitely not to be underestimated.
The most important thing was the Dragon Turtle Blood.
"It's not impossible to exchange, as long as you can tell me where you come from, young friend. I'll give you the Hun Tian Si Jue and Sen Luo Wan Dao Gongfa!"
Xiao Sanxiao was already accustomed to Jiang Li knowing his unique skills.
Since the other party could immediately state his origins, knowing these things wasn't surprising.
What truly piqued his curiosity was Jiang Li's background.
Although he lived in seclusion, he occasionally ventured into the martial world.
Xiao Sanxiao prided himself on knowing everyone and everything in the world.
Even Dishitian, who had been hiding behind the scenes, was someone he knew intimately.
Yet, he'd never heard of Jiang Li, Huang Rong, or Yaoyue.
If they were ordinary people, it wouldn't have mattered.
But Jiang Li's cultivation was so profound that even he couldn't gauge its depth.
And the other two women? Either one of them, if they appeared in the current martial arts world, would be virtually unbeatable with him and Dishitian out of the picture.
Even for someone as composed as him, the origins of Jiang Li and the others piqued his interest.
That place, which he didn't even know existed, had suddenly produced such experts.
Xiao Sanxiao chuckled. His state of mind was indeed on another level.
He didn't even bother to ask what technique Jiang Li wanted to exchange for, immediately stating he knew Jiang Li's origins and would offer the technique for free.
Jiang Li admitted he couldn't match such a state of mind.
"My origins aren't a secret. There's no harm in revealing them!"
"The truth is, my friends and I aren't from this world. We're just travelers passing through."
Not from this world?
People from another world?
At that moment, even with Xiao Sanxiao's composure, he was shocked and stood up.
He stared at Jiang Li and the other three with astonishment.
"Another world!"
"There really are other worlds!"
"No wonder I didn't know you. You're not from this world!"
Xiao Sanxiao muttered to himself, basically believing Jiang Li.
Only this explanation could account for his ignorance of a master of Jiang Li's caliber.
"Of course, there are other worlds!"
"Your world is just one of countless worlds within the myriad heavens!"
Jiang Li said with a smile.
Finally, he managed to shock the old man who was always so calm and collected.
"How does one travel to other worlds?"
Xiao Sanxiao's eyes lit up with excitement.
He was so detached, always in seclusion. It was probably because he'd lost his curiosity about the world.
He'd been everywhere, met every master, and knew everything. There was practically nothing left in the world to attract him. What else could he do but seclude himself?
"You need exceptional strength to shatter space, the power to traverse the universe."
"But not to look down on you, you're still far from that level!"
Jiang Li naturally wouldn't reveal the existence of the chat group.
Of course, his words weren't just to deceive Xiao Sanxiao; once one's strength reached a certain level, they would naturally possess the ability to traverse the myriad heavens.
"These are the Hun Tian Si Jue and Sen Luo Wan Dao Gongfa, for you, young friend!"
"As for the Dragon Turtle Blood, please wait a moment, young friend!"
Xiao Sanxiao nodded thoughtfully and quickly rose, retrieving two manuals and a bottle of Dragon Turtle Blood. In an instant, his demeanor changed slightly.
His eyes were no longer so indifferent, but now held a spark of ambition.
Knowing that other worlds existed, Xiao Sanxiao was clearly intrigued.
"If the old senior wishes to travel through the myriad realms, this might be of help to you!"
"I look forward to the day we meet again!"
Jiang Li accepted the Hun Tian Si Jue and Sen Luo Wan Dao Gongfa, while simultaneously discarding a Vajra Dragon God Body.
Without this, it was uncertain how long Xiao Sanxiao would have needed to leave the Fengyun World.
He didn't linger, taking Huang Rong and Yaoyue with him as they soared into the sky, disappearing from Xiao Sanxiao's sight.
"I didn't expect such a stroke of luck today, proving there's always more out there!"
"I'm also looking forward to that day!"
Xiao Sanxiao, watching their vanishing figures, wore a smile.
Soon, he returned to the wooden hut, filled with excitement as he began to study the Vajra Dragon God Body that Jiang Li had left behind!
"Jiang Li-gege, will we really be able to see this Xiao Sanxiao again?"
After flying for a while, Huang Rong looked curious.
Jiang Li said, "I can't say for sure whether we'll meet again."
"However, with Xiao Sanxiao's state of mind and his ability to live forever, it shouldn't be a problem for him to transcend the tribulation and ascend, leaving the Fengyun World."
The three of them flew for a while longer, and suddenly sensed a sword intent permeating the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, the flying swords in the hands of Wanwan, Little Cook, Huang Rong, and Yaoyue all emitted a slight tremor.
The three women were all startled. "Husband, has a terrifyingly powerful swordsman appeared?"
That sword intent made them all feel somewhat uncomfortable, and the flying swords in their hands seemed to be submitting.
"No, it's the Jueshi Hao Jian, the number one divine weapon in the Fengyun World, that has appeared!"
Jiang Li's gaze narrowed slightly, and he instantly deduced that the Jueshi Hao Jian had been born.
It truly is the number one divine weapon in Fengyun World. The commotion upon its emergence is enormous.
"Let's go see!"
Intrigued, Jiang Li instantly accelerated with Huang Rong and Yaoyue, flying towards the source of the sword intent fluctuations.
Hearing that the commotion was caused by the emergence of a divine sword, both women were equally astonished.
Even the flying swords they wielded subtly yearned to submit. It wasn't hard to imagine the quality of the Jueshi Hao Jian.
"Someone's fighting. Are they trying to seize that Jueshi Hao Jian?"
After flying for a while longer, a series of booming sounds came from ahead, mixed with shouts!
"Eh… It's Li Xunhuan and the others fighting someone. Could they be trying to get their hands on the Jueshi Hao Jian?"
"Nie Feng is here too, and Xiongba! What are they all doing here?"
As they got closer, familiar faces came into view for Jiang Li and the others.
The scene inside Baijian Mountain Villa was utter chaos.
Yan Chixia, Li Xunhuan, and Long Bo were all present!
Nie Feng and Jian Chen, whom Jiang Li's group had seen before, were also there, and even Xiongba.
People from different factions were currently in a chaotic battle, having already flattened several houses.
Of course, one person hadn't made a move.
Long Bo!
Li Xunhuan was locked in combat with someone else, but he was standing to the side, not participating.
This was clearly related to the rules of the Tong clan; they wouldn't kill, and they certainly wouldn't initiate a fight with anyone.
"What are you doing here? How did Li Xunhuan and the others get into a fight? Do they want to seize the Jueshi Hao Jian?"
Jiang Li, along with the two women, Huang Rong, landed beside Long Bo, startling him.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Jiang Li and the others.
"We were traveling through here and happened to come across the Jueshi Hao Jian's emergence!"
"We originally just wanted to see the Jueshi Hao Jian, but unexpectedly, Xiongba suddenly appeared, wanting to kill the young man who obtained the Jueshi Hao Jian!"
"Oh, right, the person who got the Jueshi Hao Jian is Xiongba's other disciple, Bu Jingyun!"
"Seeing that Bu Jingyun wasn't a match for Xiongba, Yan Chixia and the others wanted to save him, but before they could act, Nie Feng also showed up."
"Fengyun teamed up and beat Xiongba back again and again!"
"At this time, another master appeared, called Wuming. He said that Xiongba couldn't be killed, because if Xiongba died, the world would fall into chaos, and he wanted to save Xiongba!"
"Li Xunhuan couldn't stand Wuming wanting to save such an evil person as Xiongba, and started fighting with him!"
Long Bo spoke extremely quickly, explaining the whole story in a short time.
The rule they set when traveling through Fengyun World was not to interfere in the affairs of this world.
But Wuming even wanting to save Xiongba immediately angered them.
After descending into this world, they realized just how many evil deeds Xiongba had done, and how many families he had annihilated.
That kind of person still had people trying to save him? How could Li Xunhuan not be furious? He immediately helped Fengyun and fought against Wuming.
At this moment, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were fighting Xiongba and the Tianchi Twelve Fiends. Wuming was battling Yan Chixia and Li Xunhuan, while Duan Lang was engaged with Jian Chen.
The people from Baijian Mountain Villa were fighting against a group guarding the Jueshi Hao Jian.
Essentially, the conflict was split into two camps, but the battlefield was utter chaos.
"Wuming, huh? That's not surprising!"
Jiang Li wasn't surprised to hear that Wuming was saving Xiongba.
This guy was known for being a hypocritical "hero." He didn't care when Xiongba wiped out entire families, but then he'd jump in to preach about compassion when someone tried to kill Xiongba. It was ridiculous!
"So that's Wuming? I'll go and meet this hypocrite who's always spouting about chivalry and righteousness!"
Yaoyue suddenly became interested.
She was naturally combative, and after the incident with Jian Chen, coupled with the fact that Wuming was now saving Xiongba, Yaoyue held no affection for him.
"It's fine if you want to save Xiongba, even if you say he's your friend."
"But to wave the banner of righteousness while practicing double standards, saving a villain... Yaoyue despises such hypocrisy the most."
With a flash, Yaoyue appeared before Wuming. The flying sword in her hand struck at Wuming without hesitation.
In an instant, a terrifying sword light seemed to split the heavens and earth.
