I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Chapter 419: Chapter 219: Ten Thousand Years Apart, the Original Heart Unchanged

Even though she was utterly shocked.

Xu Muying did not retreat even half a step.

Throughout her journey, once her sword was drawn, she never retreated.

Even if she was no match, she would still draw her sword and challenge the heavens!

For this was her Dao!

ZING!

The ring of the sword exploded like thunder, shaking the nine heavens!

The brilliant Sword Light World suddenly froze, as if Time and Space themselves had been shattered by the blade.

Just as the sword carrying the Ninefold Divine Domain was about to collide with the brilliant Sword Light World...

The next moment.

The sword, wreathed in the Ninefold Divine Domain, suddenly burst forth with a formidable Divine Will.

Beneath this one sword strike, it seemed as if ten thousand years of time and space had frozen still.

Only a single stream of Divine Will flowed within, ever-changing.

Xu Muying watched the shifting Sword Momentum before her. Her pupils constricted, and a look of utter disbelief filled her eyes.

Shock crashed through her like a tidal wave.

It wasn’t because the sword strike was particularly magnificent.

It was because she was all too familiar with this sword strike.

It was a Sword Technique she had used countless times in the past.

The Twenty-Third Sword!

’This Sword Technique... no one in this world should know how to use it!’

’So how does he know it?!’

’And... he seems even more proficient at it than I am!’

While she was still in shock.

RUMBLE!

The sword that had frozen ten thousand years of time and space erupted with a brilliant Divine Will, instantly tearing her Sword Light World asunder.

However.

The surging Divine Will, which was like a monstrous flood, did not engulf her. Instead, it dissipated without a trace just a few dozen feet in front of her.

Ripples spread through the void before it returned to tranquility.

It was as if the world-shaking collision had never happened.

Xu Muying stared at the Daoist in the Daoist robe not far away, a suspicious glint in her eyes.

"Who are you? How do you know the Twenty-Third Sword?!"

’Even if someone from the Celestial Sword World had been reincarnated into this world like I was...’

’Their mastery of the Twenty-Third Sword couldn’t possibly be greater than mine!’

She was confident of that.

Therefore, she was extremely curious about the identity of the person before her.

Wang Xiao retracted his Divine Will. He didn’t hide his identity and said:

"Celestial Sword Mountain. The Twenty-Third Sword."

"Grilled Fish. It’s been a long time. I trust you’ve been well."

Celestial Sword Mountain, the Twenty-Third Sword, Grilled Fish... The familiar yet foreign words suddenly registered in Xu Muying’s ears.

In that instant.

She felt as if she had been locked in place by Medusa’s gaze from across ten thousand years of time and space, unable to move.

Her entire body seemed to turn to stone, like a statue.

Countless scenes from the past flooded her mind.

She looked at Wang Xiao, their eyes meeting.

The person before her gradually overlapped with the figure from all those years ago—the one who had fought demons and eaten grilled fish with her.

After what felt like an eternity.

Her lips parted, and she cautiously uttered the name:

"Broken Monk?!"

Wang Xiao smiled faintly.

"It’s me."

Those two simple words seemed to drain all the strength from Xu Muying.

Her tense Heart Spirit finally, completely relaxed.

She looked at Wang Xiao, a thousand words and a million emotions welling up inside her, all wanting to be said.

But when the words reached her lips, they became a single, low sigh.

"You once spoke of us meeting in the future... This future took so long to arrive..."

Ten thousand years... even for a Saint, that was an eternity.

So long that she had almost forgotten she even had a homeland.

And that she had an old friend!

Wang Xiao’s lips formed a tight line.

"No matter how long the future is, it will eventually arrive."

He truly hadn’t expected that someone who was once only at the First Layer Spiritual Domain of a Tier Five being could break free from the shackles of her world and become a Tier Seven Life form.

And that she had even made it to another world.

He had just analyzed Xu Muying.

He knew that Xu Muying hadn’t been brought to this world by someone else, nor had she found a path forward and broken through her world’s shackles to ascend here.

Instead, she had arrived in this world through a process akin to reincarnation.

After Wang Xiao left the Celestial Sword World.

Xu Muying had cultivated painstakingly. Through her tireless efforts, she had actually reached the Ninth Layer of a Tier Five Life Domain and had even broken through her restraints, achieving Limit Breaking Three Times.

However, that was her limit.

The world’s limits were set, and no matter how exceptionally talented Xu Muying was, she could not advance any further.

Just as Xu Muying was nearing the end of her lifespan...

...a mysterious passage appeared in the Wilderness, at the very spot where the meteor had fallen all those years ago.

It seemed only those who had achieved Limit Breaking had a chance of passing through this passage.

With little of her lifespan remaining, Xu Muying gambled her last shred of strength and forced her way into the passage.

Then, her physical body and Divine Soul were both crushed, leaving only a wisp of her True Spirit to be reborn in this new world.

She had been reborn in an unconventional way!

’Xu Muying’s Celestial Sword World also seems to be a place where a Meteor fell. But besides carrying life forms of the Blood River Race, that Meteor didn’t seem to have any other special characteristics.’

’I never expected a mysterious passage to appear there afterward. More than likely, it was a passage to the Cosmic Relics!’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

In fact, passages to Cosmic Relics also existed on Earth.

For example, the place in the Deep Sea Ruins where he had undergone the assessment for the God Creation Plan.

Even the Cultivation Immortality World had one—the Celestial Gate controlled by the planet’s consciousness!

It was just that the passage to the Cosmic Relics in Xu Muying’s world was even more special.

It could actually allow a person’s True Spirit to be reincarnated!

It seemed every location where a Meteor had fallen had its own unique properties.

Xu Muying looked at Wang Xiao and said:

"Broken Monk, how come I’ve never heard any news of you before? You’re not from this world, are you?"

This world was vast, but the Saints still knew of one another.

With Wang Xiao’s strength, if he had been in this world for long, it would be impossible for her not to know of him!

Wang Xiao nodded.

"Yes. My name is Wang Xiao, and I am indeed not from this world."

Xu Muying’s expression grew distant.

"Then what Realm are you in, to be able to travel between worlds?!"

With her current Saint Realm Cultivation, she couldn’t even fly out of this world.

It was as if some unknown power was holding her captive within it.

She couldn’t imagine what Realm one had to reach to travel freely between different worlds.

Wang Xiao said:

"My current Realm is the same as yours, just the Saint Realm. It’s just that my Cultivation Technique is special, so I’m a little bit stronger than an ordinary Saint."

"A little bit stronger?"

Xu Muying raised an eyebrow.

She believed that the number of Saints in this world who could completely defeat her could be counted on one hand.

Yet, in her clash with Wang Xiao just now, she had been completely crushed!

Such power far exceeded what a Saint should possess.

Wang Xiao didn’t explain further. He plucked off the Life Seed and tossed it to Xu Muying.

"This Life Seed is useless to me for now. You can have it."

If he were to refine the Life Seed now, the expansion of his Grotto Heaven would very likely cause his physical body and Great Daoist Nascent Soul to crumble.

Therefore, his most urgent task was to further strengthen his physical body and Great Daoist Nascent Soul until they could withstand a Grotto Heaven that was one light-year in size.

Otherwise, no matter how many Life Seeds he collected, he wouldn’t be able to use them.

Xu Muying caught it and said:

"Which Dao are you in now? Once my Divine Soul returns to my body, I’ll come find you."

The Land of Void was boundless, connecting to thirty-six Daos.

Both of them were currently in their Divine Soul forms, so they naturally couldn’t stay here for long.

Wang Xiao replied:

"I’m currently in Fengluo Dao, at the Cyan Cloud Temple in Yun Cang Prefecture of the Cang Mang Domain."

Xu Muying’s eyes flashed.

"Fengluo Dao is adjacent to my Celestial Sword Dao. However, at my current speed, it would probably take me several decades at least to reach you."

Wang Xiao said:

"There’s no rush. If you have things to attend to, you can finish them first. I’ll be in this world for at least eight hundred years or so. We’ll have time to meet again."

Xu Muying nodded slightly.

"Yes. Fengluo and I have never gotten along. If I’m to go to Fengluo Dao, I’ll have to fight him. I’ll wait for a suitable opportunity to come over."

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask:

"Speaking of which, Grilled Fish, besides these Thirty-Six Daoist Palaces, do you know anything about Buzhou Mountain and the Celestial Court?"

He had previously sensed that the largest Life Seed, the one suspected to contain the main body of the Meteor, was not in the Land of Void.

It was highly likely that someone had already taken it!

And the most likely culprit was the legendary Celestial Court!

Perhaps his hope of breaking through to a one-light-year Grotto Heaven rested with this Celestial Court.

He naturally had to learn about it in advance.
