Paragon of Sin
chapter-1626

The formless, invisible distance that had always existed between Wei Wuyin and Su Mei had been torn down naturally. Moreover, Su Mei's emotions were at a heightened state. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Wei Wuyin dared to draw his saber against the heavens for her.

She hadn't realized it before, but the feelings that she kept sealed within her heart as she soundlessly followed Wei Wuyin weren't just matched but exceeded greatly. It was a little hard to accept because she believed she would have done the same without the slightest hesitation. However, the things she'd done for Wei Wuyin were incomparable to everything he'd done for her, and not once had he forgotten her.

Moreover, she couldn't give him her most precious first experience in this lifetime. She promised herself with all her soul that she would live and thrive alongside Wei Wuyin for as long as she breathed. There was nothing else needed.

Beyond the Sky Heart Galaxy's Galactic Shell.

The Minor Elysium anchored in the void had an idly cultivating Wei Xiaotian as she refined products of the highest quality, far surpassing her current cultivation base's requirements, yet perfectly suited for her cultivation stage. She was at the Sixth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, the False Reality Phase, and had grasped the power of Creation on a scale that the cultivation society of the Myriad Yore Continent would have described as a Mortal God. She was testing its powers as she created flames, earth, water, and wind that could interact with the world on a tangible, proper level.

She could drink the water, burn leaves, pile dirt, and unleash lasting tiny twisters. Wei Xiaotian found all this wondrous and magical. At the stage of Wei Wuyin and the others, this ability might seem mundane, but it formed the foundations of every cultivator's extraordinary powers, even those at the Resonant Soul Realm.

Outside Minor Elysium's ship was a middle-aged, white-robed, scholarly-looking woman floating a fair distance away. She looked calm outwardly but a single glance from anyone could tell it was a barely kept-together facade. Wei Xiaotian ignored her when she arrived earlier after noticing. She didn't know who she was, only that she was an extraordinary cultivator to leave the galactic shell of a galaxy to come here and wait.

However, she was quick to adapt and had learned some things regarding hierarchy, status, wealth, and strength of this world. She knew that Wei Wuyin held a high enough status and wealth to have Mystic Overlords grovel for change. It might seem insane to think about it on that level, but hearing of how Grey Rose made herself a servant to one of Wei Wuyin's women simply to gain greater access to him and earn his favor was equally as insane given their strength.

So she kept cultivating as she verified certain theories she had developed. Shortly after, a portion of the earth and flame merged into magma. The water froze into ice. The dirt sprouted a green bud. A handful of dirt formed a small bead of unrefined metal. The flame and twister began to crackle with lightning.

Wei Xiaotian cheered energetically with a gleeful, heart-stealing smile.

Meanwhile, observing the Minor Elysium, the middle-aged woman in white's brows twitched. Instinctively, she turned as a faint aura of unfathomability emerged from the void. Two figures appeared a few hundred miles away from her.

Her heart began to race.

"An Incarnation?" Wei Wuyin noted instantly. His celestial gaze pierced toward the Sky Galaxy Heart and found the true body of Bai Pan, otherwise known as World Prophetess Bai. She had come with Sage Springfield and survived the explosion before hiding away in the Sky Heart Galaxy. He hadn't thought she would find him on her own.

He was planning to send her off to the next life after Su Mei's ascension by having the Ascendants hunt her down. It would be the last training task before they decided to leave for the No-Name Galaxy. Who could have guessed she would appear here?

"World-Saint Neo-Dawn!" Bai Pan hurriedly and respectfully greeted Wei Wuyin with a lowered gaze and a low bow, immediately placing herself beneath Wei Wuyin.

Su Mei gave Bai Pan an inspecting look. Now that she had ascended, her perception had changed. The unfathomability of Ascended beings, that peerlessly deep presence within their auras, was extremely visible within her senses. She could properly inspect it and could verify the rough strength of this Incarnation. It was quickly created, so barely sufficient to rival an ordinary World Emperor.

Even before she ascended, this level of cultivation was not something she feared. Now that her Astral Force and Spiritual Arts were no longer the same, becoming Mystic Force and Minor Ascension Arts imbued with the Ways of Mysticism, she could dispatch this Incarnation without drawing her saber. This was what her instincts told her.

"You must be the illustrious World Prophetess Bai," Wei Wuyin said. While the Heavenly War Spirit was absorbing Sage Springfield's soul, Wei Wuyin had imbibed his memories and experiences in much the same way as Teng Jiangwen.

Hearing this sent cold shivers down Bai Pan's spine without warning. She hastily replied, "I am! I apologize for not coming myself. My true body suffered some damage earlier and is currently recovering." Her explanation was rife with anxiety despite her best efforts. The way Wei Wuyin looked at her was devoid of surprise. However, she didn't doubt it since Sage Springfield was likely killed by him.

"I hope you can forgive me," she added. Wei Wuyin blinked, his gaze indifferent and serene as a silent sky. Seeing this, she once again felt urgent as she said: "I know-"

She was interrupted by an amused voice, "Do you know? Tell me, what do you know?" Wei Wuyin found her actions quite interesting. Moreover, she wasn't lying about being severely injured. As an Oracle, he wondered what prompted her to take this route. Did she gather information from the world about her fate?

Her real body that was privy to this conversation gulped. An intense sensation of deathly crisis surged through her soul. She had felt an impending calamity, and the world had all but told her of an imminent demise. Whether that demise was related to Wei Wuyin or not was unclear, but she was deeply terrified by the discovery. Moreover, she didn't have a void vessel or galactic-scale transit formation to send her back to the Utmost Purity Galaxy.

She was stuck here.

Even if she wanted to venture back to the Utmost Purity Galaxy, the travel would be extremely perilous and involve almost certain death. She was, after all, just an Original Magistrate-a Heavenly Saint! While she could escape the boundary of galaxies with some effort, traveling to a different galaxy was an outrageous and unrealistic goal. She wouldn't even get a tenth of the way, spending thousands of years, before she exhausted her Mystic Power.

Not even the Mystic Overlords of the White Abyssal Galaxy dared to venture out into the Void-Blank Space between galaxies. While the difference between the two seemed to be only a single cultivation stage, the true difference was as vast as the distance between the earth and the sky.

"..." World Prophetess Bai's heart was pounding fiercely. She was not only trapped but that imminent sensation of death kept looming over her. She was desperate, but similarly, she wasn't idiotic enough to ask someone who made an attempt on her life to give her a ride back for free.

So she solidified her resolve. With a deep, subservient bow, she said with a voice rife with helplessness and sincerity. "I, Bai Pan of the Crystal Guidance Institute, am willing to serve you for ten thousand years. I am an adept student of the ways of formations, arrays, and worldly divination with a cultivation at the Sixth Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm. I plead that you spare my life so that I may serve you, World-Saint Neo-Dawn."

Her words didn't surprise Wei Wuyin or Su Mei at all. Ten thousand years was a significant number, but not her entire remaining lifespan and that was certainly better than dying an unknown, aggrieved death in some middling galaxy. As such, Wei Wuyin's response was immediate.

"No thanks."

After that, Su Mei casually waved her hand and the shocked expression of World Prophetess Bai blurred alongside her Incarnation as it was eviscerated into shreds of mystic energy.

"Those two are more than enough," Wei Wuyin had the Eye of Truth and Eden, and he didn't need a formation master of this level either. As for his connection to the Utmost Purity Galaxy, he already had an in. He sent out the order for the Ascendants within Sky Heart Galaxy, most notably Zuhei, Ying, Shui Fengbao, Yao Houyi, and Tuo Bihan with instructions to locate and kill this Bai Pan within a week.

The two arrived on the Minor Elysium. Wei Xiaotian's heart was relieved as she smiled, "I knew you would make it back."

"I promised you dinner, right?" Wei Wuyin laughed.

Within four days, Bai Pan was found and killed by Zuhei as he mobilized a host of canine beasts to hunt for her. The sheer legion of beasts he had gathered in such a short period was nothing short of extraordinary. Shui Fengbao was remarkably close, having found her first, but couldn't quite take her down despite being injured due to her various escape formations and defensive treasures.

On the seventh day, the group gathered on Minor Elysium. Young Master Shang drank beside Wei Wuyin while avoiding glancing at the uniquely charming Wei Xiaotian with all his willpower. That girl was a heart-killer. Moreover, she was certainly Wei Wuyin's woman.

Wei Wuyin once again executed his Void Portal Creation: Galactic Range. The destination?

No-Name Galaxy.

The place where Wei Wuyin decided would be his stage for ascension!
