Chapter 13: The Human Race's Strongest Magical Artifact, The Inheritor of All Power

Ye Xuan did not waste much time on eating; he had no strict requirements when it came to food.

For him, as long as it was not so disgusting that it was impossible to swallow, he would not care too much; after finishing his meal, washing the bowls and chopsticks, and clearing the table, Ye Xuan prepared to cultivate.

Although he had already obtained the System, with one fishing attempt per month needing only enough time or luck to become a powerhouse without cultivation, he actually lacked great confidence in his own luck.

The first fishing attempt yielded the template of Wangquan Wangquan Baye in his youth; does that guarantee the second attempt will surely catch an item of the same tier or even better?

Not necessarily.

Among the myriad heavens and worlds, worthless things are always more numerous than valuable ones.

Moreover, having fused with the Wangquan Wangquan Baye template, he possessed talent in cultivation that surpassed the vast majority of people; although the system he practiced could not grant immortality, that was only true within the Fox Spirit World.

In his own world, that might not be the case.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Just as Ye Xuan was about to cultivate, a crisp knocking sound came from outside the door; the rhythm was neither hurried nor slow, carrying a sense of cadence that seemed neither rash nor overly deliberate.

Ye Xuan was not surprised by this.

Back at the school, he had already anticipated that someone would come looking for him; indeed, if they had shown no reaction to his existence, that would have been what surprised him.

He stood up, walked to the door, placed his hand on the doorknob, and opened it.

Standing outside was a woman, a very beautiful woman.

Her beauty carried an aggressiveness, as if one glance was enough to make someone remember her; her features were exquisitely nearly perfect, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting, her nose bridge high and straight, her lips a vivid red, and her skin so Bai Xi it was nearly transparent, as if light could shine through it.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the ends slightly curled, carrying an arc of intellectual grace.

"Hello, Ye Xuan."

"I presume you have already guessed the purpose of my visit; may I come in for a chat?"

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying a hint of amusement.

"Come in."

Ye Xuan said indifferently, then turned and walked into the room, showing no special treatment due to her appearance.

Su Su Mengyao entered the room, swept her gaze around the space, then sat gracefully and calmly on a chair; her eyes returned to Ye Xuan, the corners of her lips lifting slightly as she spoke with a somewhat formal tone:

"Let me introduce myself; my name is Su Mengyao, from Heavenly Pivot."

"The reason for my presumptuous visit today is to confirm one matter."

"Student Ye Xuan, you are a holder of a Heavens Treasure, correct?"

Upon hearing Su Su Mengyao's words, Ye Xuan did not answer immediately but instead frowned slightly.

"Among the current ability users, is there anyone capable of causing the level of destruction I displayed with that single sword strike at the school?"

The uncertainty in the other party's words made him somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that there are currently ability users who possess the destructive power of the 'Heaven and Earth Sword Strike' he demonstrated at the school?

Although it was merely a casual strike, far from reaching his full effort, for someone to possess such strength at this time, are ability users really that powerful?

"Hmm?"

Su Su Mengyao paused for a moment, not expecting Ye Xuan to ask such a question, but she nodded in response.

"That is correct, though their numbers are extremely few, and most of them encountered fortuitous encounters."

"After this, the speed of their strength improvement will not be so fast."

To put it plainly, ability users are no different from ordinary people; some have ordinary talent, while others possess supreme talent; but the recovery of spiritual energy has only been three months, so even with high talent, the speed of their strength improvement has not been very fast.

If they had not encountered fortuitous opportunities to obtain some heavenly treasures and earthly jewels that had also undergone changes due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, they would not possess such powerful strength.

But even so, they still cannot compare to those who hold Heavens Treasures.

Even a Heavens Treasure like a Devil Fruit, once consumed, allows one to surpass the vast majority of them in terms of strength.

"I see."

Ye Xuan nodded, then admitted:

"It is indeed a Heavens Treasure."

Although it was fished out from the System, in reality, calling it a Heavens Treasure is the same.

After all, to some extent, is not the System itself something from human imagination?

"As expected!"

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Su Su Mengyao's eyes lit up, her entire person becoming excited; she leaned forward slightly, her tone filled with agitation.

"Then, I wonder if what you obtained is the Wangquan Sword, or the Wangquan Wangquan Baye template?"

According to the information she had gathered, the Wangquan Sword was the clan-suppressing treasure of the Wangquan family in 'Fox Spirit', and even the strongest magical artifact of the human race, with no equal.

As long as one fought against demons, their power and techniques could be comprehended by the Wangquan Sword, so as long as one held the Wangquan Sword, the Wangquan family became the inheritors of all power.

The Wangquan Sword itself was a sword of slaughter and conquest; the more it killed, the stronger it became.

As for Wangquan Baye, he was not only the head of the Wangquan family and the alliance leader of the One Qi Alliance, but also one of the top powerhouses of that era in 'Fox Spirit'; Tushan Honghong had once said: 'Your level of cultivation is among the strongest humans I have ever seen in my life.'

Although he lost his Sword Heart due to the Outside Circle, he forcibly comprehended the Wangquan Sword Intent; even if he did not reach the level of the future Wangquan Wangquan Fugui, looking across the entire Fox Spirit world, there were not many among humans or demon races who could defeat him.

"What difference does it make whether it is the Wangquan Sword or the Wangquan Wangquan Baye template?"

Ye Xuan did not ask her how she could determine it was the Wangquan Baye template rather than Wangquan Fugui, Wangquan Shouzhuo, or Wangquan Wumu; after all, the clothes he wore that morning were still those of Wangquan Baye in his youth.

If he had not obtained the Wangquan Wangquan Baye template, why would he wear the attire of Wangquan Wangquan Baye from his youthful days?

However, he did not answer Su Su Mengyao's question either.

Admitting that he was a holder of a Heavens Treasure was sufficient; regarding other aspects, he seemed to have no necessity to cooperate with the other party.

As for the 'Heavenly Pivot Bureau', so what? He had not joined them.

"Apologies, I was somewhat presumptuous."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Su Su Mengyao paused for a moment, then immediately apologized; her emotions had gotten the better of her, and she had asked too deeply; she had forgotten that this was the other party's secret, and the other party was not necessarily willing to tell her.

Was it because deep down she still subconsciously regarded the other party as a student? Such a mistake was truly inappropriate.

"As a reward, you may ask me any question you wish."

She adjusted her tone and smiled again.

"Great Xia holds absolute goodwill toward any holder of a treasure of the Heavens, so you need not worry."

"Moreover, we have all signed a contract with Elder Zhong. You need not trust us, but you can trust Elder Zhong."

"As for Elder Zhong, I naturally harbor no doubts."

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, showing little reaction to this.
