When Ye Guan arrived at the Boundary Domain, he was a little surprised. Though it was called a domain, it wasn't particularly large. It was merely a small, independent world existing outside the Main Universe. Despite its size, the place felt special. The moment he stopped into it, Ye Guan felt a faint and elusive power lingering throughout the domain. It felt strange as it constantly flickered between illusion and reality. What shocked Ye Guan even more was the stability of space here. Based on his assessment, without his Qingxuan Sword, he wouldn't be able to affect the space in here with his current power. A Transcendent One was at work here! Ye Guan grew increasingly curious, especially about the theory raised by that Transcendent One. "Everything in the world is an illusion, including you and I." Was this world truly fictitious? Ye Guan had thought about it before, but he never really contemplated it. After all, if he couldn't survive in a virtual world, what good would a real one be to him? He'd just get beaten up there, too. The mysterious figure had the luxury to contemplate such things, as he had already become invincible in this universe. Unfortunately, Ye Guan's time had yet to arrive. "Brother Ye!" Xuan Ru called out. He was trailing behind Ye Guan. Ye Guan was surprised to see Xuan Ru. "Brother Ru?" "I wanted to come see it, too." Ye Guan nodded and looked into the distance. An endless mountain range was in the distance, and a solitary temple stood at one of the summits. Xuan Ru glanced at the distant mountain range and said, "That's the legendary Mount Boundary, and the Temple of Boundary is on the summit of Mount Boundary." "The founders of the Holy King Hall, the Brahma Heaven Kingdom, and the Dao Cang Lineage were all disciples of that mysterious figure?" "That's right." Xuan Ru nodded. "And he has many other unrivaled cultivators as his disciples." Ye Guan smiled in acknowledgment. "Let's go." "Why?" Ye Guan blinked. "This is the holiest place in the Main Universe. Even a King has to walk here." The two began making their way to the Mount Boundary. On the way, Xuan Ru asked, "Brother Ye, has your faith power grown stronger?" Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, thanks to your Ancestral Spiritual Veins." "Brother Ye, may I ask about your true strength?" "I'm not too sure," Ye Guan responded truthfully. He fought Chi Xue earlier, but she was nowhere close to his level. Therefore, Ye Guan couldn't use their spar to gauge his current strength. Before long, they arrived at the base of the mountain. Ye Guan looked up. It was just an ordinary mountain, with no Dao Laws nor restrictions. There was a small trail that led from the base to the summit. They followed it upward. As they ascended, white clouds floated around them. They felt as if they were walking through the heavens. Soon, they reached the peak to find a solitary temple. The Temple of Boundary! Ye Guan began walking toward it. Suddenly, footsteps echoed behind them. Ye Guan turned and saw someone—Dao Zangtian! Dao Zangtian stared at Ye Guan and said, "I've been kind enough to let you live for so long." Xuan Ru stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Ye, he's the Dao Cang Lineage's heir, Dao—" Ye Guan interrupted, "I don't need to know the name of a dead man." Xuan Ru was speechless. Dao Zangtian wasn't angry. He even chuckled, saying, "Let's see what kind of trash Sheng Gujin has found this time." He took a step forward. With that step, a terrifying force rushed toward Ye Guan like a tidal wave. As it neared him, it turned illusory. The force didn't vanish, but it appeared in a different layer of spacetime. The Nascent Void Realm! Nascent Void Realm cultivators could ignore the universe's Dao Laws, and their attacks were intangible as well as untraceable. A Nascent Void Realm cultivator could completely overpower a Civilization Ancestor Realm cultivator. Ye Guan's fleshly body and soul began to become illusory. Just then, a surge of sword energy burst from his body. His fleshly body solidified once again. At the same time, a sword intent flew out from within him. A blinding sword light exploded, and Dao Zangtian was blown away. Soon after, another sword intent shot out from Ye Guan. Xuan Ru's pupils shrank in shock. Ye Guan's sword was so incredibly fast that he couldn't even track it. From afar, Dao Zangtian raised a finger. At its tip, spacetime froze into a block of black ice. Ye Guan's sword was locked into place. Dao Zangtian roared, "Break!" He slashed out with two fingers at the sword in an attempt to shatter Ye Guan's sword intent. However, it didn't shatter. Dao Zangtian froze at the sight. Then, he sensed something terrifying, and his hair stood on end. Before he could react, a sword silently reached his glabella, piercing his skin. Ye Guan had made use of Master Pagoda's Concealment Technique. Dao Zangtian only noticed the sword when it had already reached its destination. It was like the sword didn't exist at all. The sword was more illusory than his power. Xuan Ru thought the fight was over, but a beam of golden light suddenly burst from Dao Zangtian's body and engulfed the world. Almost simultaneously, a sword cry rang out and tore the golden light into pieces. In a flash, the golden light that spanned ten thousand metres was destroyed. Dao Zangtian had already retreated far into the sky. Though he radiated dazzling golden light and exuded an extremely fierce aura, he put up a grim expression. He hadn't expected Ye Guan's sword to be this formidable. Even after their fight, he still couldn't tell which realm Ye Guan was in. Ye Guan glanced at him and mocked, "The Nascent Void Realm? How disappointing." Xuan Ru twitched. He was in the Nascent Void Realm as well. Of course, he knew that Ye Guan wasn't insulting his cultivation realm. It was just sobering to know that Ye Guan's strength far exceeded his. He used to think that he and Ye Guan were equals. Now it was clear that they weren't even close. Dao Zangtian wasn't angered. Instead, he laughed. "How interesting..." Ye Guan raised his hand and struck again. There was a flash of sword light. Dao Zangtian was blown back thousands of metres. Before he could even recover, a dozen sword intents descended upon him. They were completely silent and undetectable by divine sense. Dao Zangtian's eyes narrowed, and he stopped holding back. He clasped his hands, and a scroll of painting emerged from within him. The painting swept up and devoured all of Ye Guan's sword intents before crushing them. Ye Guan's eyes narrowed into slits. Xuan Ru's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "Brother Ye, that's the Dao Cang Lineage's supreme divine artifact, the Dao Cang Painting. Legend says that it was painted by that mysterious figure long ago. "It is said that the painting can bring an entire universe into the Void. That mysterious figure created this special spacetime to conduct his experiments. It's a strange and dangerous artifact. Be careful." Ye Guan looked at the painting floating before Dao Zangtian. It wasn't large and was covered in ancient textures that looked like wrinkled skin. It was rolled up, so its contents were hidden. After bringing the artifact out, Dao Zangtian's aura skyrocketed. However, he still had a bitter look on his face. He had intended to kill Ye Guan in three moves. He had the right to be confident. After all, he was the heir of the Dao Cang Lineage and was nurtured with top-tier resources from birth. How could someone from a lower civilization compare? Yet, Ye Guan had completely overwhelmed him. And it was still unclear which realm Ye Guan was in. Dao Zangtian locked eyes with Ye Guan. He began chanting. The painting trembled, then it unfolded and rose into the air. In an instant, darkness descended. The spacetime around Ye Guan dimmed. His figure began to blur as he entered another layer of spacetime. This time, Ye Guan was surrounded by darkness, and malevolent energies hung in the air. Ye Guan furrowed his brows as he surveyed his surroundings. There were a myriad of chains around him, and each chain was binding a prisoner. Some were humans, while some were demons and bizarre creatures. There were tens of thousands of them! And each of them radiated a wicked aura. Ye Guan looked around and asked, "Is this a prison?" "Bingo!" Dao Zangtian's voice echoed around him. "My master created this place. It's a prison for the most vile criminals that he captured across the universe. The weakest among them are the Nascent Void Realm experts. Surprised? Haha!" Criminals? Ye Guan blinked and smiled faintly. "Indeed, I'm surprised."
