Seeing the Heavenly Emperor's heir, Ye Chen, spare a male enemy for the first ti, the crowd twitched with mixed feelings.
"As long as it involves won, Ye Chen's attitude is lenient!"
"Exactly! A female cultivator from a rival sect tried to kill him, and he not only spared her but sent her opportunities and killed her master!"
"Yi Qingwu set kill arrays against him, and he held no grudge."
"If a male cultivator did that, they'd be dead ten tis over."
"Poor Feather Transformation Daoist. His mother was the top female cultivator of her era. If Ye Chen knew, he might've spared him!"
"I curse my parents for not giving a pretty sister—I'd be Ye Chen's brother-in-law!"
The crowd whispered, less afraid of Ye Chen. They noticed: avoid won and don't try to kill him, and he's reasonable. Soone once called him "Ye the Fourth" to his face. He didn't get mad—sent the guy to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land with a heaven-ascending opportunity.
…
On the Heavenly Emperor's chariot, Ye Chen stored the Extre Dao Weapons, face darkening. Who spread these rumors? His reputation was nearly unsalvageable. Not his fault—the damn system and this world were to bla. He'd start fresh in the Immortal Realm, cultivating a proper reputation, free of misunderstandings.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye! If you visit the Myriad Races Immortal City, I'll host you grandly…"
Yao Yuekong didn't buy Ye Chen's claim. He figured Ye Chen was playing the long ga, planning to press him later for his sister and aunt's details. But sparing him publicly, saving his face, earned so gratitude. He wouldn't be too humiliated returning ho.
Before leaving, Yao Yuekong sent a voice transmission: "My sister's in the fourth realm, no telling how long. When she returns to the Myriad Races Immortal City, I'll inform you to et."
With that, he shot toward the second realm's center, where the next realm's entrance and exit lay, leading outside.

Ye Chen raised a brow. Yao Yuekong was decent, handling things after surviving. A Myriad Races mber, but reliable. He glanced around, disappointed. He'd hoped Alkaid Holy Son would show. Clearly, he avoided the fray.
Of all the Central Continent, Ye Chen most wanted to kill Alkaid. No matter. He couldn't hide forever. Show his face, and Ye Chen would kill him instantly!
More spectators arrived, sensing the commotion—hundreds more. Not all Second Heaven; so were First Heaven, even the Unity stage. The Immortal Path only barred high-realm cultivators from backtracking. Low-realm ones could charge forward, even the Unity stage, if they dared.
Ye Chen eyed the newcors, picking out two familiar faces and pointing. One had besieged his master. The other chased his senior brother.
They reacted instantly, faces paling, trying to flee. One was instantly killed, obliterated cleanly.
The other, trembling, knowing escape was futile, roared at Ye Chen: "Heavenly Emperor's heir, a prodigy like you bullying us weaklings—what kind of hero is that? Your nesis, Fairy Lan Nuo, has declared you must honor your agreent and face her at the Lan Clan in the Central Continent! You've dodged her twice. Will you flee again? Crushing the weak with heavy fists, but cowering and making excuses against the strong?"
After shouting, he was smashed into pulp, dead beyond dead.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. Lan Nuo? Not bad. Luo Bingling was unreliable, no critical hit. Lan Nuo, though showy, had real critical hits. If Luo Bingling failed, he'd seek Lan Nuo.
Turning to Luo Bingling, still in his arm, he said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, the riffraff are cleared. Let's enter the secret realm! After, I'll face the era's Heavy Pupil prodigy."
Luo Bingling, initially awed by Ye Chen's prowess, felt a flicker of admiration. The War God Clan revered combat strength. But seeing him spare an enemy for won, despite her presence, infuriated her. He didn't take her seriously. A perfect Heavenly Demon Body or Peacock King—how could they compare? If not for her clan's Mahayana cultivation flaw, she'd have matched or surpassed them. Despite her disdain, she nodded. "Good, let's go!"
Other matters could wait. Securing the Space Divine Stone ca first. The battle hadn't gone as planned—she hadn't helped. She'd need to shine, offering the stone proactively. She'd realized Ye Chen, though a simp for won, had a temper. Not the pushover rumors suggested. With more won around him, she had to seize every chance. Otherwise, competition would make getting the Dao Cauldron harder.
Under countless eyes, they drove the chariot to the now-empty divine peak's summit. At its center, a sword stood, etched with countless sword runes.
Luo Bingling explained, "This is a broken Extre Dao Weapon. Engraved with runes, it requires top-tier sword intent to shatter, opening the Sword Tomb secret realm! My clan elders confird it's the tomb of Sword Saint Kong Ke, a Saint King whose spatial sword intent dominated all. His swordsmanship was divine, but his talent was lacking. Despite being nearly unmatched in his realm, he never reached Great Saint. He never left the Immortal Path's sixth realm, dying there. So, the tomb likely holds his Space Divine Stone!"
Her clan had investigated thoroughly.
Ye Chen raised a brow, curious. "Why would a sixth-realm tomb appear in the second?"
