748 The Two Freaks (1/2)

Yun Yang could empathize with Ling Xiaozui's feelings.

Even without his status and background, if a person who had been at the top of the Tianxuan Continent and commanding the scene for so long were to refuse the fate of mediocrity once he got to the Bound of Universe, he had to find a source of influential support and depend on it.

Maybe one could be an ordinary disciple of a school and slowly make his way up the ladder; maybe one could attach himself to a noble family as a serving man – yet, what was the difference in that from being a simple home servant?

Furthermore, there was the status of being one who came from a place that God despised.

It was awful!

Such was the case. Forget the fact that Ling Xiaozui was reluctant to go, even Yun Yang was not willing to as well.

Nonetheless, there was no way forward if they remained where they were.

This was a dead end with no other solution in sight!

”Bound of Universe… How big is it?” Yun Yang mused.

”Very, very big – barely describable with words!” Ling Xiaozui chuckled flatly. ”I've snuck in before by chance, using a gem. Fortunately, what I wanted to know wasn't exactly confidential in the Bound of Universe. It was only pure bad luck that my prized possession was destroyed when my identity was exposed and I fell out of the void passage during an ambush.”

”It's actually quite simple if we want to go to Bound of Universe again now. As long as you concentrate all of your cultivation base to trigger the domain sense, the crack in space will automatically be activated and you can enter the Bound of Universe through this crack. However, this method easily allows the people from the Bound of Universe to find out our origins and background. Once our identities are exposed… we're basically the lowest caste – acaste that hails from where God despises!”

Dugu Chou sighed too.

”No way... If this is the case, how did Lei Dongtian come over the other day? He was so proud of his cultivation base, proud of the fact that although he wasn't the best, he was still one of the proficient experts.”

Yun Yang asked with no small amount of surprise, ”Lei Dongtian's cultivation base was indeed impressive then, but now… it can only be considered meager. How could he travel back and forth freely? There must be a reason behind…”

There was also Yun Yang's sixth brother, Supreme Thunder, who came from the Bound of Universe. His cultivation base was worse than what was required, but he had, nonetheless, come to the Tianxuan Continent. How could there not be any reason for this?

Ling Xiaozui said in a puzzled tone, ”There must be some special method… If one could travel between the Bound of Universe and Tianxuan Continent freely when their cultivation base is lower than ours, I'd never believe it – there must be many restraining conditions!”

”Oh…” Yun Yang mused.

Perhaps this could explain why Lei Dongtian had not returned after leaving. What could the reason actually be?

”Speaking of cultivation base…” Ling Xiaozui looked at both Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi while saying, ”We two old men have worked hard, experiencing countless life and death threats, before we managed to break through God's Shackles by luck. The two of you young ones, though – how did it happen?”

Dugu Chou looked perturbed as well as he said, ”That's correct. Situations like those that the two of you have experienced are unheard of…”

”Previously, I was thinking perhaps Yun Yang had gone through a rebirth due to the Residence of Nine Supremes. Looking at it now, Lady Ji's cultivation base reached God's Shackles earlier. The depth of your cultivation base now may be higher than both of us old men… This is very puzzling.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Yun Yang's hand to check his meridians, sending out his refined mystical Qi to check Yun Yang's body. Yun Yang was not peeved at all, making no move to reject the intrusion. He was very puzzled about his current state as well.

However, Dugu Chou pulled back abruptly in the midst of his inspection. He raised his head, watching Yun Yang like he had seen a ghost. ”You – you… How many chakras have been awakened in you? Have you, in truth, been gifted with a mysterious physique?”

Yun Yang scratched his head. ”This junior is truly unaware of this. This junior had only seven awakened chakras initially, but through many fated encounters and the incident this time, I've come to the state that I'm in now. May I ask how many chakras are awakened in both seniors?”

He gazed towards Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou.

Dugu Chou was silent with an irked face, but Ling Xiaozui openly replied, ”I have fifteen now. Let me see your…”
