We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

470  Waepon Refinement Ground

"Well... Thank you..." Ye Ruxue pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded at Su Chen sincerely. She understood very well that in this world, other than Su Chen, there was probably no one else willing to simply give away the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master to another person.

After all, having one more person cultivating the inheritance would mean more danger for Su Chen. Moreover, the temptation of obtaining this inheritance was too great. For this, some people would even disregard blood ties and take drastic measures. No one else could relinquish the inheritance as readily as Su Chen had.

The fact that Su Chen could do this showed Ye Ruxue that he trusted her beyond simply owing him her life. Currently, she had no other way to repay him except with her life...

"Silly girl," Su Chen said with a teasing smile. "What's there to thank me for? Didn't I say already that you and I are one? What's mine is yours."

Soon after, he began surveying their surroundings and said, "The inheritance left by the World-Transcending Sword Master is extraordinary. We must make good use of it. You can stay here first and familiarize yourself with the formations. This way, after we get out, we'll be better able to utilize the formations here against our enemies."

At this point, Su Chen's eyes flashed with excitement. By now, anyone with a bit of intelligence would be able to guess that outside this palace, or rather outside the Chaotic Sea Star Region, countless experts of myriad races were likely lying in ambush, waiting for the two of them to emerge. The inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master was worth such a monumental risk to them.

At this moment, if Su Chen did not take this chance to improve his strength, he estimated that it would be impossible for just the two of them to leave the Southern Region. While fighting within the Chaotic Sea Star Region would actually be fine with the formations left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master to protect them, things could turn dire if they encountered enemies outside of the region, where the formations' power would be harder to employ.

After all, the Southern Region was also home to many formidable experts, especially those of the ancient myriad races, who currently hated Su Chen enough to wish to skin him alive and drink his blood. Additionally, recently there had been a surge of ancient-era experts awakening and returning to power. Facing assault from a quasi-emperor under such circumstances would be reasonable to expect. Within the Chaotic Sea Star Region, even encountering a quasi-emperor could be handled. Once Ye Ruxue fully grasped the formations here, the two of them could even put up a fight against great emperors. However, if they met Quasi-Emperor Realm foes outside the Chaotic Sea Star Region, although not necessarily lethal, the two would undoubtedly suffer grievous injuries.

Therefore, without thorough preparations, Su Chen would never bring Ye Ruxue away from this place.

"Where are you going?" Ye Ruxue nodded and then asked curiously. "I'm going to another location!" Su Chen replied with a smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Soon after, he turned around and pointed at the void in front of him. The void instantly split open, revealing a spatial passageway that extended into the deepest region of the Chaotic Sea Star Region.

At the end of this pathway was a crimson star, exuding scorching energy even from a great distance away that made it almost unbearable. The star was covered in dazzling multicolored lights and an immortal aura permeated outwards from it. It was unknown just how long this ancient, majestic planet had existed here, quietly floating in the void.

"This is... The Weapon Refinement Ground?" Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she gazed upon the ancient star.

From briefly looking through the inheritance left by the World-Transcending Sword Master, she already grasped much of what lay within this Chaotic Sea Star Region. With but a glance, she recognized that this was the place where the Sword Master had forged his formidable weapons in the past.

Considering the World-Transcending Sword Master's own invincibility, one could scarcely imagine the preciousness of his personal Weapon Refinement Ground. Even the finest ground owned by the Wang family could not compare to this small planet – after all, that had merely served great emperors, while this held profound significance to the World-Transcending Sword Master himself. If Su Chen refined the Azure Dragon Sword here, its power would doubtlessly grow to unimaginable heights. "Are you going to refine a divine weapon?" Ye Ruxue asked, looking at Su Chen.

"Indeed." Su Chen nodded. "You stay here first and grasp the formations. If any danger arises, remember to notify me right away."

Having said that, he strode towards the spatial passage ahead. "Alright..." Ye Ruxue nodded after Su Chen had completely left and the passage had closed. She then sat cross-legged in the void, expanding her divine sense to comprehend the formations enveloping this place and left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master. By now, she could fully grasp them. Yet grasping was one thing – truly mastering their deployment and usage was another matter entirely. However, Ye Ruxue was certain that fully comprehending these formations would enable her to forge her own unique path regarding formations, in the future!

The Dao of Formations was in fact elaborately recorded among the inheritance of the Sword Master. The world encompassed three thousand Great Dao. Anything capable of deriving principles could be regarded as a Great Dao. However, among the Great Dao, there were also distinctions of strength and weakness. The most superior included time, space, destiny, life and death, karma, destruction, reincarnation, and annihilation... Although the Dao of Formations was not the most superior, it was still a vast path. Until now, there had been only a few individuals who had truly walked this path to completion. The World-Transcending Sword Master was one such existence. Moreover, he had ventured incredibly deep into the Dao of Formations, surpassing even Ye Ruxue's unfathomable mastery of Great Dao in her past life. Yet this was not even the most terrifying aspect of the World-Transcending Sword Master. What was truly inconceivable was that he had not only taken the Dao of Formations to its extremes – but additionally, he had also reached astounding heights in the Daos of Alchemy, Crafting, Talismans, Spells, and Divine Powers. This confluence of peerless aptitude across so many Daos was what had made him invincible in the world.

And above all, the World-Transcending Sword Master's greatest attainment was still in the Dao of Reincarnation itself! He had cultivated it to the pinnacle! Clearly, the allure of his inheritance for cultivators was boundless.

Indeed, whoever managed to obtain the complete inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master would be able to reign supreme over the heavens, destined to shake the world for eras to come!
