**TL note: The 'Heavenly Sword Goddess' is derived and referenced from the LLS wiki fandom, but you may know her as the 'Goddess of the Sword Spirit' or something similar along the lines.
Yue Yang returned from the Black Hole Dimension and cultivated for another day.
In the World of Dreams.
"These are the three swords that I have newly enlightened."
During Yue Yang's enlightenment in the dream world, he showed the Heavenly Sword Goddess the three swords: Black Hidden Return, White Splendid Frost and Red Perfect Night.
The sword energy that was condensed by Yue Yang had already begun to show its power. Although it was still nowhere near the level of the Heavenly Sword Goddess, he had made great progress compared to his previous attempts. The swords could completely divide the world with their boundless power.
The Heavenly Sword Goddess observed them, but quietly disappeared without making any comment.
She acquiesced in her heart that maybe 'Ruzi can be taught'[1]; or perhaps Yue Yang's insights still did not meet her requirements, at least not to the level where he could start learning the following swords. Yue Yang's mentality was very stable— he showed no ecstasy nor discouragement. In fact, the more Yue Yang possessed abilities that were as powerful as a God, the more he realized that he still had a long way to go...Si-niang's knowledge inheritance stated that if one had the ability, it wouldn't be impossible to create a world from one single thought. The current Yue Yang, paired with the descriptions of Si-niang's knowledge inheritance, were still far from the absolute realm left by the predecessors of the World Tree. The most obvious example was that even the realms of Empress Fei Wen Li and Zhi Zun were far from the desired realm. This left him with no other choice but to look up[2].
TL Note:
[1] It means 'children can be taught' but the Chinese idiom can be used to describe a youngster with potential.
[2] 'To look up' here means to achieve a higher level of growth or improvement, like advancing levels.
"You seem to be a bit different?" Yue Yang found that his training partner, the big loli[3], looked a little frustrated. This was the first time that she had not been ahead of Yue Yang.
TL Note: [3] 'Loli/ lolita' was derived from Japanese. It's used to describe 'sweet and adorable girls'. Please don't confuse it with the English meaning of Lolita; the meanings can get really different.
"..." The big lolita adorably played with her index finger and the stray hair on the top of her head fell forward.
"The bag around your waist looks a bit familiar." Yue Yang suddenly saw a strange bag that was hung around the big lolita's waist. She gave him a flustered glare, putting the bag in her arms. This made Yue Yang, who wanted to grab it to have a closer look, stop his piqued curiosity awkwardly. Forget it, what's hers is technically mine anyways; it's alright for her to keep it.
Previously, Yue Yang always had an unfulfilled wish. It was to harshly give the big lolita a good beating on the day he could finally win her as an act of revenge .
Finally, he was catching up with her.
He was on the same level as her, but he found himself unable to raise his own energy.
He sat down next to the big lolita. Observing her carefully, he found that she had actually changed a lot at some point without him noticing. The change wasn't related to her appearance nor her body; it was her spirituality. Now she had become rather different from the Sword Qi that was initially created by the Heavenly Sword Goddess, and was now far more lovely than before.
Unless she wasn't a Sword Qi, but an Immortal Spirit Body from that little Universe Bag?
In the beginning, she was slightly violent and was not very cute.
But now?
Her cuteness could kill any man directly!
The big lolita had long known what kind of person Yue Yang was and remained on guard, so Yue Yang couldn't get any information out of her despite teasing her for a long time. But when Yue Yang said something funny, she would wrinkle her cute little nose, narrow her eyes into crescent moons and become silently amused; but if Yue Yang spoke of nonsense and provoked her, she would immediately punch him with no hesitation as she had a rather violent nature.
It was also from this day that the way of cultivation had realised new skills.
The big lolita made a method of 'topping' the energy transfer which Yue Yang had never seen before.
She put her hand on top of Yue Yang's head and infused all the energy into his body. Yue Yang was about to return the energy to her body through Double Cultivation but she refused. A flash of light emanated from her arms and her energy was completely restored in an instant. When Yue Yang was unable to assimilate her huge energy, the big loli placed some sort of 'energy source' that Yue Yang could not understand into his heart. It was the kind of energy source that seemed very weak yet was endlessly unlimited...this energy source was similar to the seed of the World Tree.
Although it was currently weak, he felt like he could enrich the entire world once it grew up!
When Yue Yang exited his dreams and returned to the Grimoire World, he found that the space inside had become completely different. A form of 'vitality' was born, and now the Grimoire World could finally be called a 'world'!
His halo-like Guardian Beast, World[4] had also begun to change. It was no longer a two-dimensional spread of the four basic directions; instead, there were eight main directions and ten other forms of extensions.
TL Note: [4] Idk why the author used such confusing names, but this 'World' here is the name of his Guardian Beast. I'll link a reference to it below on Wiki Fandom.
It was now shrunk into a very small size, but its energy rose instead of being diminished.
Yue Yang supported it with his palm.
He felt as if he could control the whole world.
Perhaps when World (the beast) becomes fully formed, the legendary Godhead would also be born... "The higher realm is still very far ahead. I will work harder, so my growth and improvements can be faster!" If he wasn't entangled in so many situations and problems, he really wanted to return to the Heaven Stairway to practice cultivating with Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian for a few more years.
Through this retreat, Yue Yang deeply understood the sublimation of thoughts brought about by Empress Fei Wen Li in the integration of the Divine Innate Realm.
Although there was still a long way to go to completely integrate with the realm of Empress Fei Wen Li, Yue Yang had already taken a big step. At the very least, he had surpassed the limitations and the largely unimaginable advancements in his Innate Supreme Realm. No one was able to do this before, not even Empress Fei Wen Li, let alone the Prison Emperor! It can be said that Yue Yang, who was currently only at the Innate Supreme level, had half of his foot stepped into the threshold of the Divine Innate level. This is the 'advanced growth' that no other Innate Supreme user in this world would ever achieve.
The previous collective breakthrough under the Heaven Stairway World Tree was equivalent to basically skyrocketing Yue Yang to the top of the world.
It enabled him to set foot on the peak without getting lost midway.
So he climbed to the top and looked into the distance.
As long as Yue Yang's own strength could continuously improve, everything else would come to him naturally as there was no need to use an extensively long period of time to fumble around like other cultivators. Now, as long as he opened his eyes, he could overlook the world; as long as he opened his arms, he could soar into the sky.
Yue Yang didn't say anything about it, but he knew that it was entirely due to the foundation that Heavenly Sword Goddess had laid for him early on.
There was also the inheritance of Si-niang's knowledge.
Although Yue Yang would be able to succeed even without them, it would definitely not be as fast as he was now!
Part of the reason was due to Yue Yang's own efforts. Xue Wuxia and the others' support and training had also contributed greatly. But it was the Heavenly Sword Goddess, who was always hidden in an unknown place yet continued to silently protect him, who was of the greatest help to Yue Yang. It was her who bestowed Yue Yang's Innate Invisible Sword Qi; it was her who laid the strongest and most ambitious foundation for him. It was also her who acted as the most important juncture to help Zhi Zun and the Night Empress. She penetrated and connected the Heaven Stairway World Tree, allowing various realms and various energy laws of the countless predecessors to flow into his body, which created the existence of a unique and perfect Innate Supreme cultivator like no other!
" I won't let you down." Yue Yang clenched his fists, raised his head to the sky as he muttered in his heart.
"..."
It felt like an illusion. But for a brief moment, Yue Yang seemed to be able to feel the presence of the Heavenly Sword Goddess from above, who looked back and smiled.
When Yue Yang opened the bedroom door and walked out into the hall, it had already been three days since he went in to meet Empress Fei Wen Li.
Luo Hua, Lie Yan and Bi Lu saw Yue Yang who came out.
His eyes changed drastically.
They all portrayed an expression of shock and disbelief!
The moment he opened the door, It was as if a God had appeared. If it weren't for the familiar aura of Yue Yang, they would have been frightened!
The guards of the Heaven Realm Drakaina Airship who sensed the presence of Yue Yang's aura have all flown to the front of the hall, kneeling down with tears streaming down their faces. They felt that the legendary figure their ancestors spoke of endlessly and passed down from generation to generation, the 'Lord Heavenly Dragon Emperor', had returned right in front of them.
"Are you really Yue Yang?" Bi Lu was still in disbelief.
"Hey, what kind of expression is that!" Yue Yang realized that he had forgotten to hide his aura because he was too excited before. And after he had assimilated it when fusing his realm with Empress Fei Wen Li, it appeared just as shocking even though he didn't intentionally exert his threatening aura. Due to his ability in creating disguises and feints, he quickly concealed his aura as he could achieve control in a short time compared to the others. He instantly reverted back to his original state, where he disguised himself as a Level 3 Ranker without fail.
"Ah, that scared me to death, you really did." Luo Hua threw herself into her lover's arms with surprise and joy, rewarding him with a few punches.
"You've improved again." Lie Yan sat on the ground, slumped.
Some people were definitely more infuriating than others.
This kid had once again improved just by disappearing for three days, and he even advanced by leaps and bounds.
It was already impossible to look up to him, let alone catch up with him. A blow like this was really unacceptable.
Holding Luo Hua, Yue Yang walked to the sofa and sat down. He motioned for the other two women, Lie Yan and Bi Lu to come over: "Because things have changed, I have a new plan. You guys should take a look at them."
Once Lie Yan heard his words, she quickly stopped her wandering mind.
In fact, this kid is an unprecedented, extremely abnormal genius in the history of the Tong Tian Tower. Why would I ever want to compete with him... After thinking about it this way, Lie Yan instantaneously felt better, hurriedly sitting across from Yue Yang and listening carefully to his new plan. There were bright colors reflected in the eyes of Bi Lu who remained her gaze on Yue Yang, almost reluctant to look away.
The beauty Luo Hua could see it, but she was not jealous.
He is her husband!
The stronger and the faster he progressed, the prouder she was in her heart.
What Yue Yang and the three women didn't know was that in a secret room in the far distance below the luxurious airship, Yan Zao was having a conversation with the steward. The cup in the steward's hand had mysteriously fallen to the ground at some point. His entire frame was soaked with wine and yet he seemed not to notice it.
"Mr. Tan?" Yan Zao had actually also just recovered from the shock, but he immediately pretended to be accustomed to it and signaled the steward not to be too gaffe.
"Ah, I'm so embarrassed!" The steward still asked in disbelief even at this moment: "I think I sensed a God's Descent just now."
"For my Master, this occurrence is common." Yan Zao was also extremely excited at this time. I have such an awesome master. It was definitely a God's Descent just now, but it was so vast and mighty. I believe it was not solely felt around us, but even the entire Redemption City must have felt the different degrees of induction. He didn't dare to think about the Master's affairs. What he had to do was follow the Master's order and fool this trickster of a steward sent by the Redemption City Lord!
"Really? I'm such an impudent being! Even when the God descended, how rude of me to not kneel down!" The steward hurriedly knelt down and respectfully prostrated himself repeatedly.
"Please don't mention too much about this; it would be against the wishes of my Master." Yan Zao warned.
"Even if this servant dies a thousand deaths, I wouldn't dare to forget the divinity of the jade decree!" The steward respectfully saluted the servant who he formerly thought of as scum and apologized: "Please forgive me and reply to the City Lord. If Your Honour will agree to it, I am willing to be your bull and horse[5], till death will I serve you."
TL Note: [5] A saying that' one will be at your beck and call and will do literally everything for you'.
"Mr. Tan and the Redemption City Lord Qian Cheng certainly have sincere goodwill; Master will definitely be willing to look the other way." Yan Zao naturally gave the other party a little bit of hope. Since it was them who initiated contact, paired with the fact that they didn't need to exert effort to use the opponent, he believed that his Master would also not be polite when dealing with people like them. However, he didn't know of the Master's plan, so he couldn't express too much either. Otherwise, he guessed that the steward and the Redemption City Lord would be overjoyed to the point where they would hold celebrations in the entire city for three days.
When the steward rushed back to the City Lord's mansion, for the first time ever, the Redemption City Lord was already as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.
He rubbed his hands, pacing around.
He wanted to see the luxury airship, but he was afraid of offending the Gods.
Once the steward returned, he was already calling out of joy before he was even summoned. This made the Redemption City Lord suddenly see a ray of light amidst the dark night. The entire frame of the elated steward seemed to have become lighter. The City Lord hurried forward to greet him and asked with a trembling voice:"Quickly, tell me, is there a divine decree for us?"
If you let him know the actual truth, he would probably have a cerebral hemorrhage and fall straight to the ground.
However, he was currently very ecstatic and willing to be a bull and a horse for the 'God', student Yue Yang.
