"Great Master, this demonic sword is no trivial matter, be careful."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Ye Yun smiled slightly and looked at the Blood Fiend Demonic Sword in the sky.
"Star God Fist!"
"Demonic Sword One-Character Slash!"
The Blood Fiend Demonic Sword slashed out fiercely, a beam of sword energy directed straight at Ye Yun.
"Oh, it seems this demonic sword has developed a sword spirit, making it an existence beyond divine artifacts."
Ye Yun swung his divine fist and struck out with force.
The Star God Fist collided with the demonic sword's aura, and the sword energy was instantly shattered by the power of the stars.
"Whoosh!"
The Blood Fiend Demonic Sword turned and flew towards the sky, attempting to escape.
"Can you escape?"
Ye Yun formed hand seals, and the Ten Directions Overarching Heaven Array descended like a net cast from the heavens.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The Blood Fiend Demonic Sword repeatedly struck the Overarching Heaven Array, but with the enhancement of stellar power, the array was impregnable. No matter how the demonic sword struggled, it could not break free.
"Star Seizing Hand!"
Ye Yun unleashed the divine ability he created after mastering the power of stars. A giant stellar palm grabbed the demonic sword from the air and then retracted.
The demonic sword returned to Ye Yun's hand. Stellar power continued to flow in, and the demonic sword, unable to resist, could only submit.
"Do you submit?"
"I am willing to submit, I am willing to submit!"
"It would have been easier if you had submitted earlier."
Ye Yun put away the Blood Fiend Demonic Sword. Meng Ji stared blankly at this entire sequence of actions.
"The Great Master's current strength is comparable to a genius-level High God, truly formidable."
"Stop flattering me. Let's hurry back."
"Alright, hahaha!"
Meng Ji laughed happily. Being able to join the Heavenly Domain and venture with Ye Yun meant that many opportunities awaited him in the future.
The two of them stepped onto the banana fan and flew towards Tianlan City.
Within Tianlan City, Lin Xueyan and the others refined the power of Water Bodhi, and their strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
"Senior Sister, this Water Bodhi is truly amazing. We've all reached the peak of the Star God level."
"Master is too amazing, giving each of us a Water Bodhi at once. If we don't make rapid progress, Master would probably be sad."
"Heh heh, look quickly, Master is back, and it seems there's another person with him."
Seeing the glowing silhouette of the banana fan in the sky, Lin Xueyan led the female disciples out to welcome them.
Song Ziyue saw the person accompanying Ye Yun, it was Meng Ji.
"Meng Ji, why is this fellow with Ye Yun?"
"Miss Song, you know him?"
"We've met, I suppose. When we were drinking at the restaurant, he was with Ye Yun."
"So that's how it is."
Xing Meng and Song Ziyue also came out of the main hall to greet Ye Yun.
"Master, where did you go? Our strength has increased greatly now."
"Master, we missed you so much."
Several female disciples ran out, with Fang Zhiwei and Bai Xiaoxiao leading the charge towards Ye Yun.
"Your Master went to a secret place and found a complete demonic sword. Perhaps we can get some information about Xiao Ai's origins."
As Ye Yun spoke, he took out the demonic sword. Upon seeing it, his disciples broke out in a cold sweat. The aura of the demonic sword was too fierce, exuding endless malevolent energy. No one dared to approach.
However, the moment the demonic sword appeared, a blood-red light emerged from Xiao Ai's body.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
The Blood Fiend Demonic Sword began to vibrate continuously. Ye Yun felt that the demonic sword desperately wanted to return to Xiao Ai's hand.
"Xiao Ai, take the sword!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Ai sensed the existence of the demonic sword simultaneously. The chaotic memories in her mind seemed to awaken, and at the same time, her body developed a subtle connection with the demonic sword.
"Clang!"
The demonic sword flew out and landed in Xiao Ai's hand.
Xiao Ai's entire body erupted in a blood-red light, and her strength began to soar once more.
"Heaven God Rank Sixteen!"
"Heaven God Rank Eighteen!"
"Heaven God Rank Twenty-Five!"
"Heaven God Rank Thirty!"
Finally, her cultivation stopped at Heaven God Rank Thirty.
"My heavens, Junior Sister, you're too incredible! Heaven God Rank Thirty?!"
Fang Zhiwei and the others were all stunned. Xing Meng's eyes widened as well, thinking that with the guidance from Ye Yun and various heavenly treasures and top-tier divine crystals, she was now only at the peak of the Spirit God level.
But this person before her had ascended from Heaven God Rank Fifteen to Thirty in the blink of an eye!
Was there any justice in this world?
"Xiao Ai, how do you feel?"
"Master, I feel great. This Blood Fiend Demonic Sword is very compatible with me."
"Hmm, it seems this demonic sword truly shares your heart. Have you recalled anything?"
"During the fusion process just now, I had some memory fragments, but they are not complete, and I cannot extract them directly."
"It's alright, take your time. First, consolidate your cultivation!"
"Yes."
Xiao Ai nodded, cherishing the Blood Fiend Demonic Sword.
Holding this sword, she felt a warmth in her heart, as if someone was protecting her.
"Wow, Great Master, all your disciples are incredibly talented. I'm truly envious."
"Meng Ji, are you trying to snatch my disciples?"
"I... dare not, dare not. With my abilities, even if I wanted to snatch them, they wouldn't follow me."
Meng Ji showed an embarrassed expression. Fang Zhiwei and the other female disciples looked at him, then showed disdain.
"Hmph, of course, we won't follow you. We'll always follow Master!"
"That's right, Master is everything to us. Who are you?"
"Don't flatter yourself. Master is being polite by asking you; you should know your place!"
Being "ridiculed" by Fang Zhiwei and the other female disciples, Meng Ji felt even more awkward. He thought that Ye Yun's female disciples not only had extremely high talent but were also top-notch at "reasoning."
"Don't bully Meng Ji. He's a new expert I've recruited. From now on, he's one of us in the Heavenly Domain."
"So that's how it is. Senior Meng Ji, please guide us."
"Since he's been recruited by Master, we naturally respect him."
"Feel at home here in our Heavenly Domain from now on."
This 180-degree turn made Meng Ji a little unable to accept it. How much did these female disciples love Ye Yun?
"Heh heh, you're too kind. I'll be counting on your guidance in the future."
"Don't worry, you won't lose out following Master."
The female disciples gave a knowing look, and Meng Ji smiled in response. This was indeed true; he had joined quickly because he valued Ye Yun's destiny. Otherwise, if Ye Yun were to become a Creation God and create his own world in the future, he might not be needed anymore.
"Oh my, isn't that Miss Song? It's so good to see you."
Suddenly, Meng Ji saw Song Ziyue standing beside Xing Meng, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards her.
"Hey, kid, show some respect. Miss Song is now a High God!"
"What?!"
Meng Ji sensed Song Ziyue's cultivation and almost fell over in shock!
