As Ye Yang flipped through the pages, he encountered various entities, each with its own unique characteristics. Then, on a particular page, he stumbled upon a passage that caught his attention:
"To uncover the truth behind the Ancient, you must collect World Shards."
This was the first time he had heard of World Shards. Intrigued, he continued reading:
"There are countless worlds out there, some still existing while others have fallen with time. By harnessing the power of the Ancient One, you will travel through time and space to save the mythological worlds and you have to complete the given mission to collect world shards. The more worlds you save, the more shards you can collect."
The passage went on to explain the significance of the shards:
"Shards not only hold the secrets of the Ancient but also possess the power to save your own world. Furthermore, they will grant you the ability to fulfil your deepest desire."
The final sentence resonated deeply with Ye Yang:
"This is the Heaven's Mandate, and you are the chosen one."
Ye Yang's eyes widened in astonishment, "There are other worlds like this? Then those entities must belong to those worlds!" The truth finally dawned on him, and he understood the nature of the entities.
Just then, a notification echoed in his mind:
[System] "Congratulations, Host, on uncovering part of the Ancient Truth."
"A new window has been unlocked: Time and Space Travel."
[Time and Space Travel]
Visited Worlds: 0
Saved Worlds: 0
"Remember, Host, you can only travel to a single world at a time. The time ratio between the mythological world and the real world is 100:1. You cannot return until you complete the given missions."
With the new information etched in his mind, Ye Yang dove back into his cultivation with renewed focus and determination.
The revelation about the entities, the Ancient Truth, and the Time and Space Travel window had ignited a fire within him.
He was now more driven than ever to strengthen his abilities, unlock the secrets of the mysterious book, and embark on his interworld journey.
In the morning,
In the private room of an exclusive VIP inn, Hua Xian reclined on a plush couch, sipping a drink.
His subordinate approached, bowing slightly, "Young Master." He presented a delicate bottle of oil, "I've acquired this rare Yin-Yang Spirit Massage Oil. The vendor assured me it surpasses any aphrodisiac in its potency."
Hua Xian's eyes sparkled as he accepted the bottle, "Hmmm, this will certainly add excitement to the evening."
Moments later, a mysterious woman entered the room, her face hidden behind a veil, concealing her identity. Hua Xian gestured to his subordinates, "Leave us alone."
As they departed, the subordinate couldn't help but steal a glance at the woman's curvaceous figure, mesmerized by her beauty. He thought to himself,
"married milf?"
"Another stunning conquest for the Young Master. His taste in women is truly impeccable, and his skills in seduction are nothing short of divine."
Hua Xian's smile was laced with anticipation as he gazed at the mysterious woman, "I thought you'd reject my offer." He gestured to the empty space beside him, inviting her to sit.
Though she seemed reluctant, she eventually settled beside him, her movements graceful yet guarded.
Hua Xian's eyes devoured her, his hunger for her evident in his gaze. However, she ignored his lustful stare, her expression unwavering. "Why did you want to meet so suddenly?" she asked, her tone firm and commanding.
Hua Xian didn't back down, his gaze still fixed on her. "I just wanted to meet you," he said, his voice low and husky, his words laced with a hint of sincerity.
The woman raised an eyebrow, her expression sceptical, but Hua Xian's unwavering stare made her feel like he was seeing right through her.
She refuted, her voice firm and unyielding, "Don't feed me bullshit and tell me why you really wanted to meet." Her tone remained stern, unwavering, and unrelenting, making it clear she wouldn't tolerate any evasions or deceit.
Hua Xian's voice took on a hint of intrigue, his words laced with a subtle threat, "Oohhh, it seems you're not interested in my offer.
You want to see the Ye family destroyed, the destruction of your own family?" His tone was more inquiring than menacing, as if he was testing her resolve.
Hua Xian's hands gently lifted the veil, revealing Yu Mei's elegant features.
Her delicate face, with its refined contours and porcelain-like skin, was now exposed.
Yu Mei's instincts urged her to resist, but the memory of Hua Xian's veiled threat held her back. She clenched her jaw, her teeth grinding in suppressed anger, as she surrendered to his gaze.
As Hua Xian gazed at Yu Mei, a smile spread across his face. He pulled her closer, his hands encircling her waist, drawing her into his embrace. "Don't worry, I'll fulfil my promise," he whispered, his voice low and reassuring.
Yu Mei listened, her heart heavy with scepticism, yet she allowed him to hold her. She didn't trust his words, but desperation had taken hold - she had no other choice. "This is for my family and my daughter," she thought, steeling herself for what was to come.
Hua Xian's eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief as he spoke, "I'm not asking for much, just accompany me whenever I want."
Yu Mei's mind reeled in shock, her thoughts racing with suspicion. "What was he planning now?" she wondered, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to read his intentions.
