Xue Mian's eyes fluttered slightly as she looked at Ye Yun, who was brimming with confidence before her. Her heart was deeply touched.
Normally, let alone a mid-level Overgod, even a peak Overgod would not dare to have ideas about a Creation God. This was because while there seemed to be a difference of only one major realm between them, in reality, the gap was as vast as heaven and earth.
This was because an ordinary peak Overgod would never be able to break through the greatest obstacle set by the Heavenly Dao, no matter how hard they tried in their entire life.
Yet, Ye Yun, a mere mid-level Overgod, dared to challenge a Creation God. And from his gaze, one could see a reassuring hope.
"Alright, Ye Yun, I agree to your terms."
"Excellent, a choice that earns my admiration."
Ye Yun smiled slightly. He knew Xue Mian was no ordinary person. She would surely recognize his potential and agree to an alliance, as the Black Emperor's threat was not just to the Heavenly Domain, but to the entire Great Thousand World.
Moreover, Xue Mian already had a grievance with the Black Emperor, and she was bound to become a target of his revenge. Even without an alliance, escape would be impossible.
"Ye Yun, this is the Flying Snow Token. Use it in times of danger, and I will know and come to your aid."
"Thank you, Lord Xue Mian."
Ye Yun accepted a jade token emanating a chilling aura, feeling deeply grateful.
After all, she was a high and mighty Creation God, and she had treated him very well.
"Lord Xue Mian, I shall not disturb your quiet cultivation. Farewell."
"Farewell."
Xue Mian extended her fair, graceful fingers and waved them slightly, bidding Ye Yun goodbye.
"Please!"
Ye Yun stepped on his banana leaf fan and ascended, leaving.
Upon returning to Tianlan City, Ye Yun summoned his disciples.
"Hmm, your cultivation is progressing well. Your cultivation bases are all very solid, and Xiao Ai has made significant improvements. Excellent."
Ye Yun observed Xiao Ai. She had reached the state of unity between man and sword with the Blood Fiend Demonic Sword, and a suppressed power within her was now subtly stirring.
Although Xiao Ai did not yet know the origin of this power, Ye Yun could clearly see through his Heavenly Eye that this power was related to the demonic sword, and possibly even her own origins.
"Xiao Ai, is your body alright now?"
"Master, I have no discomfort at all. Instead, by achieving unity with this demonic sword, our spiritual consciousness is connected."
"Very good. This Blood Fiend Demonic Sword is a treasure beyond divine artifacts. If you were not connected to it by countless threads, you would surely be unable to wield it. This is your fortuitous encounter. Wait for your true identity to be revealed."
"I understand, Master."
Xiao Ai nodded, her resolve to uncover her origins strengthened.
"Master, don't just praise Xiao Ai. Our cultivation has also been consolidated, and Xiao Meng's cultivation has also improved. Look!"
"Of course. I was just worried that something might happen with Xiao Ai and the demonic sword. Are you jealous, little girl?"
"Hmph, I'm not! Because Master has always been the best to me."
"Is your sweet mouth trying to flatter me?"
Looking at Fang Zhiwei, who was beaming with pride, Ye Yun shook his head slightly. This lively girl usually brought him much joy.
"Ye Yun, how did your mission go?"
Song Ziyue and Xing Meng walked over, their eyes filled with concern.
"I have reached an agreement with Lord Xue Mian of the Flying Snow Domain in the Nine-Tiered Great World. The Flying Snow Domain and the Heavenly Domain are now allied. This means we have a Creation God backing us in the Heavenly Domain."
"Wow, Master, you're simply invincible! A Creation God! Even someone like that gives you face. That's amazing."
"Too powerful! Does this mean Master is now also a Creation God-level being?"
"It must be, it must be!"
The disciples were ecstatic. If Ye Yun was Creation God level, then they, as his disciples, truly had something to celebrate and be proud of.
"Hey, hey, keep it down. You're getting too carried away. Although I am confident in achieving the realm of a Creation God, I am currently only a mid-level Overgod. I need to have this self-awareness."
"Yes, Master. We're just cheering you on."
"Hehe, thank you all, then."
Ye Yun smiled as he looked at his disciples. With them by his side, no matter what difficulties he faced, he felt a sense of responsibility pushing him to overcome them.
"Alright, everyone, go back to your cultivation. Xing Meng, I need to guide you. Your cultivation progress hasn't been fast lately."
"Tch, you really think of me as your disciple? I don't want to!"
Xing Meng said petulantly, acting like a pampered young lady, which left Ye Yun speechless.
"Xing Meng, we are facing the Black Soul Domain of a Nine-Tiered Great World. You need to improve yourself quickly, otherwise, it won't be good if Ye Yun has to take care of you during battles."
"Miss Song, do you look down on me too?"
"I didn't mean that at all."
Song Ziyue widened her eyes. She had meant well, yet she was misunderstood.
"Alright, Xing Meng. Xing Wu is about to achieve peak Overgod status. Do you want to lose to her?"
"Who said that? I, Xing Meng, will not lose to anyone."
"Then come with me."
"I'm coming!"
Xing Meng's temper flared. She seemed to imagine Xing Wu looking "arrogant" after achieving peak Overgod status and absolutely refused to let that happen.
She wanted to improve herself!
Seeing Xing Meng's agitated state, Ye Yun felt a chuckle coming from within. This girl truly needed Xing Wu to stimulate her.
However, Ye Yun also wondered about his wife, Xing Wu's current cultivation level.
Given Xing Wu's talent, she should soon inherit Mei Lao's legacy, which would make the Heavenly Domain even stronger.
In a separate great hall, Ye Yun took out a Water Bodhi.
Given Xing Meng's current cultivation, it would be extremely dangerous for her to consume this Water Bodhi. She would almost certainly explode and die. However, Ye Yun planned to use his innate divine power to assist her, forcefully increasing her cultivation within a short period.
"Xing Meng, this cultivation will be very arduous, and even dangerous. Do you dare?"
"Hmph, are you trying to scare me? I'm not afraid."
"Then alright, do you dare to eat this Water Bodhi?"
"Water Bodhi!"
Upon seeing the crystal-clear Water Bodhi, Xing Meng's eyes lit up, but her heart trembled violently.
She knew very well that the power of the Water Bodhi was immense. Unless one was a Heavenly God, consuming such a treasure would absolutely be life-threatening.
"What is this kid thinking? Is he trying to harm me because I've been speaking 'ill' of Xing Wu?"
"No, no, what am I thinking? Ye Yun is definitely not that kind of person."
"But why am I feeling scared?"
"No, I absolutely cannot fall behind!"
Xing Meng's mind raced with a myriad of thoughts, a whirlwind of random notions, but in the end, she picked up the Water Bodhi.
"Ye Yun, I'm going to eat it. If I really die, that 'old hag' won't let you off either!"
"Hahaha, still scared, are we?"
"I'm afraid of you, you big dummy!"
Xing Meng tilted her head back and swallowed the entire Water Bodhi!
