I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 379 The Heavenly Book Acquired! A Kiss of Reunion!

East Sea Dragon Palace!

The torrent of the reversing-aging original sand swept everything away like a tsunami.

Now that Ye Li has reached the Creation Realm, he is far from being completely unaware of the Dao of Time as he was before.

After comprehending the four laws of life, death, time, and space, he was able to sense the astonishing power of those laws behind him!

The power of time, enough to revive countless Boundless Realm Dragon Lords of the Dragon Clan, was now spreading outwards endlessly like a nuclear bomb.

The sheer size of the cannon formed by the air being compressed during the expansion of the reversing primordial sand was enough to annihilate the Boundless Realm.

Ye Li held Shen Qinglian tightly, feeling the endless power of time washing over his entire body.

Every inch of his flesh and blood, his vital energy, and his soul were frantically retracing back to the past.

If it weren't for the extraordinary wisdom that firmly anchored the foundation of existence, ensuring Ye Liyong's eternal proof at this moment...

It's likely that in an instant, Ye Li would be able to rewind to the past, his physical body, spirit, and soul all being dismantled into countless spiritual energies, particles, and true essence—

"Uncle-Master!"

Ye Li, holding Shen Qinglian, frantically fled backward, sensing the danger emanating from the delicate body in his arms.

Only a Martial Saint can withstand the erosion of the river of time. Shen Qinglian did not have her own eternal proof. Even though she resisted a large amount of the power of time, she was still subjected to terrifying erosion!

In the core area, Long Zun and several other boundless beings from the Ji Kingdom were the first to be affected, their power surging wildly in reverse.

The Ji people in the Boundless Realm had their eyes rolled back, not only their power but also their memories were being severed!

But Shen Qinglian, who was in Ye Li's arms, behaved even worse than those Wuliang.

Because Shen Qinglian was only a few hundred years old in the Boundless Realm.

Because of his terrifying talent, he caught up with a group of veteran Boundless Realm experts in less than a thousand years. However, now that he is facing the reversal of time, his youth is a major disadvantage.

It would take tens of thousands of years to reverse the flow of the Dragon Lord back to the Heavenly Realm, but reversing the flow of Shen Qinglian would only take two or three hundred years.

Ye Li watched helplessly as Shen Qinglian's cultivation level plummeted under the terrifying erosion of time.

In just a few moments, the opponent plummeted from the Boundless Realm to the Heavenly Realm, and then collapsed in a torrent!

That once warm and fragrant body, now, with the reversal of time, has become thin and frail, gradually losing the weight and composure of years.

The body of the moon, which was originally surging and full, is now flowing against the current towards its pointed corners.

"Damn it—if this keeps up, my martial aunt is really going to turn into a loli!"

Ye Li held Shen Qinglian tightly, cursing inwardly as he felt the increasingly frail figure in his arms.

If she were to continue being washed away by the power of time, let alone her loli form, Shen Qinglian would probably be completely broken down into countless basic particles that would disperse throughout the world.

Seeing Shen Qinglian shrinking continuously, Ye Li knew he couldn't let things continue like this. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to push Shen Qinglian away. In her stunned gaze, he turned and rushed towards the power of time behind him.

We cannot run away! We must face the power of time and move forward!

Using his own body, he absorbed all the damage from that direction to protect his martial uncle!

With this in mind, Ye Li endured the impact of endless time and slowly approached the core of time.

As Ye Li approached step by step, he spread his hands and, with his understanding of the laws of time, frantically guided spacetime, transforming the disordered power of time into a long dragon, which he then poured into his body.

The torrent of time is like an invisible blade, constantly disrupting spacetime and confusing everything. Even with Ye Li's full guidance, he can only absorb a small portion of it.

In an instant, a vast amount of time power was guided and poured into Ye Li's body, exceeding Ye Li's control by billions of times.

"This is----"

Ye Li looked up and saw that the Dragon Lord was currently in the reverse flow of time, guiding countless forces of time into Ye Li's body.

Just like the Dragon Girl before, the Dragon Clan possesses the ability to maintain their sanity during the reversal of time, making them the only ones among all the Boundless Ones present to retain consciousness.

After learning that Ye Li could withstand injuries, he decisively pulled Ye Li to block the damage from time.

Apart from the Dragon Lord, the other Boundless beings present were now like lambs to the slaughter, losing their minds one by one in the reverse current.

Even Xu Yun, who possesses the power of "Overturning Heaven and Earth," dares not reverse the power of time.

Because that means that going back in time and being reversed to physical aging, one's lifespan is only about 100,000 years in the Boundless Realm, and once reversed, one will die instantly.

Based on their understanding of their own cultivation level as Grandmasters, they knew that as long as the power of time disappeared, even if they turned into particles, they could reassemble back to their peak state. So why not do nothing and gamble on being able to come back alive!

In order to minimize the impact of this power of time, the Dragon Lord had no choice but to endure the reversal and pour as much of the power of time as possible into Ye Li's body.

Even so, everything within the Dragon Palace was irreversibly affected, and the entire Dragon Palace began to disintegrate at a visible speed.

In the most central area, time reversed most violently, and the cave palaces near the Dragon Tomb began to grow in reverse, forcibly flowing back to their original simple appearance when they were built.

On the outside, countless jade pavilions and towers, like lotus blossoms blooming in the grotto heavens, even flowed back to the beginning of the universe before it was created.

An old tortoise at the Realm of All Realms, with ten thousand years of cultivation, was merely swept away by the aftershocks and instantly turned into particles of heaven and earth!

Even more remarkably, some powerful figures who had visited the Dragon Palace in the past were resurrected from the past due to the reverse flow of time within the Dragon Palace.

Over time, the entire Dragon Palace has been divided into different areas with different eras and histories, and everything from different times and the past is now concentrated in this moment.

Outside the Azure Wave Cave, Ao Ying rushed madly toward the Dragon Tomb, but was instantly swept away by the power and kept flowing backward under the erosion of time.

Outside the light barrier, Wei Wanxi and countless people from the Ji Kingdom looked towards the Dragon Palace with a sense of unease, only to feel an invisible suction force coming from within. Before they could react, they were swept away by the torrent of time, and their consciousness instantly blurred.

In the blink of an eye, the unprecedented chaos centered around the Dragon Palace abruptly ceased, plunging into an inexplicable stillness.

In this most central position, the Dragon Lord, along with the other countless beings from the Ji Kingdom, had their very existence erased by the erosion of time. They could only return after the power of time dissipated!

In the very center, Ye Li sat down on the ground, looking around with lingering fear.

"Uncle-Master, I wonder... how is it?"

Ye Li looked back and saw the Dragon Palace, a collection of various styles, laid out before him.

Before him, the East Sea Eye turned inside out and returned to silence, replaced by the Dragon Tomb Cave Heaven!

The Dragon Tomb Cave has endured countless years, so even now, despite the passage of time, its furnishings remain largely unchanged, except that most of the dragon corpses placed within have been removed.

Because the walls inside the Dragon Tomb Cave are formed by the endless water pressure of the sea eye.

Emerging from the sea eye, with no walls to obstruct the view, Ye Li could see the interior furnishings clearly.

"A book written in the heavens!"

Ye Li's eyes lit up as he gazed at the most central part of the Dragon Tomb Cave.

It was a book made of what appeared to be white marble, with a blank surface covered by a layer of dreamlike, ever-changing, and dazzling orange glow.

This rosy glow carries an indescribable weight, embodying the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and the rules of the great Dao.

Ye Li's mind was shaken just by the sight of it, as if he saw the endless Great Dao beckoning to him, as if he could directly observe the root of the world, and he could hardly control himself!

This is a book that binds epic entries into a book that anyone can read. Ye Li can completely replicate the epic entries from it!

Even a pure-blooded true dragon, possessing boundless resources and at least a dozen epic titles, would still be reluctant to use one to create a celestial book.

After all, the difference between separate and combined entries is vast, and creating a celestial book is tantamount to forever losing this bloodline supernatural power.

"It's mine!"

Without hesitation, Ye Li swiftly swung his right arm and pulled the celestial book from afar, intending to capture it.

But before that, a voice filled with rage boomed across the heavens and earth: "Boy, what do you think you're doing? Trying to take advantage of my dragon clan's misfortune?!"

Hearing the voice beside him, Ye Li paused and turned around, only to see a girl in a light blue palace dress glaring at him angrily.

The girl had exquisite features, and looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. Her skin was a translucent white, and a dragon tail with crystal-clear scales swayed behind her.

Ye Li was confident he had never seen this girl before, but the other girl's demeanor carried a kind of overt familiarity, which made Ye Li's expression change. He asked, "Child, you are—Ao Ying?!"

Ye Li asked tentatively, causing the girl in the blue dress to turn her head away and her face to darken.

Looking at the girl in the blue dress who seemed unwilling to admit it, Ye Li couldn't help but grin.

At this moment, Ao Ying rushed towards the Dragon Tomb. She was also subjected to a lot of time erosion, and her original power of the Boundless Realm had fallen to the Body Tempering Realm.

If it weren't for the dragon race's secret method of maintaining sanity, Ao Ying's consciousness would probably be almost the same as it was thousands of years ago.

Ao Ying glared angrily at Ye Li and demanded, "You want to take advantage of the chaos to rob us?!"

But at this moment, Ao Ying no longer had the large size she once had. Her petite and delicate face, radiating anger, appeared incredibly cute and utterly devoid of any aggression.

If Ye Li were to face the true form of a Boundless Realm expert right now, he might have to back down, but a mere Innate Realm expert—

"This heavenly book was promised to me by your Dragon Lord himself. This is called returning it to its rightful owner. What do you mean by taking advantage of the chaos to rob me?"

"The Dragon Lord is only lending you this; you have to return it after you're done!"

"What are you saying? After I read this, will your book still be usable?"

In front of Ao Ying, Ye Li nonchalantly grabbed the book and stuffed it into his pocket.

This scene infuriated Ao Ying, who stomped her feet in anger. She rushed to Ye Li and grabbed his sleeve, pulling hard, but no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't budge him.

Ye Li pressed down on Ao Ying's head, watching her small, short arms punch and kick, yet she couldn't even reach him, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Previously, Ao Ying, relying on her high cultivation level, always acted like a senior, but now she's met her match.

At least during the time that Yuan Sha was reversing his aging, this guy will always maintain this youthful appearance.

"Heh heh, I advise you not to struggle anymore, little Ao Ying!"

"Believe it or not, I'll slap your butt like it's an Ansai waist drum! Just to teach you a little lesson!"

"How dare you!" Ao Ying gritted her teeth, but the next moment she found that the dragon had been flipped over and was being held under Ye Li's waist.

"You! What do you want to do!"

Ao Ying's face was filled with fear, and a tingling sensation ran through her buttocks as she worried that Ye Lizhen had ulterior motives towards her.

She only has the Body Tempering cultivation level now, so even if Ye Li paired her with someone else, she wouldn't be able to resist.

Even if you return to the Boundless Realm, you will still be guilty of adultery forever and lose your innocence!

"What are you thinking, you old pervert? I'm only a teenager now, I won't presume to prey on someone with a history spanning thousands of years."

The wrinkled grapes were tempting.

Ye Li rolled her eyes, interrupting Ao Ying's inner monologue: "The Dragon Palace is in chaos right now. I'm going to find my martial uncle. You should come with me so you don't run into any danger and end up being paired with some sea beast."

As he spoke, Ye Li summoned the panel, and countless entries immediately appeared on it.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Li began to overlay countless entries onto [Spiritual Perception] to enhance his senses.

As Ye Li's [Spiritual Sense] grew wildly, his sixth sense was constantly improving. He then pressed down on Ao Ying, who was struggling around his waist, and began to sense with his eyes closed.

To be honest, Ye Li didn't have much hope for this connection.

Even though he had absorbed most of the power of time, Ye Li was still unsure whether Shen Qinglian was still alive because he was too close to the core!

If she were to be blasted into countless particles by the power of time, then she could only wait for the power of time of the Reverse Age Sand to dissipate on its own before Shen Qinglian, in her Boundless Realm, would be reborn from nothingness.

After all, they were simply transformed into countless particles, rather than fighting each other in the same realm.

Since it contains no wills of the same level, it is not difficult for a grandmaster who can create something from nothing to reassemble and be born from nothingness.

For example, Ao Ying, who has now transformed into a body-tempering being.

Even if Ye Li kills Ao Ying, who is in the Body Tempering Realm now, she can still be resurrected in the future once the effects of the Reverse Age Original Sand wear off and she returns to the Boundless Realm.

The difference between beings in the Boundless Realm and those below it is immeasurable!

Even if Ye Lizhen had murderous intent, he couldn't kill them all without using special methods!

So Ye Li brought Ao Ying along not because he was afraid she would die, but because he was worried that she might actually be paired with some sea beast while she was still in the Body Tempering Realm.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh ————

In an instant, Ye Li's spiritual senses were greatly awakened.

Based on a premonition from the unseen world.

Ye Li could vaguely sense that there were two beings in the East Sea Dragon Palace who were connected to him.

"Two of them—are they Senior Sister and Martial Uncle? Martial Uncle is indeed still alive."

As Ye Li was thinking this, he discovered that the two entities were actually in completely opposite directions.

In one of the directions, Ye Li was surprised to find that it was somewhere outside the Dragon Palace.

"Let's go find our martial uncle first!"

Ye Li pondered this, then followed his inexplicable premonition: "Go find Martial Aunt Fuyao—no, Martial Aunt's real name should be Shen Qinglian!"

With that thought in mind, Ye Li immediately followed the guidance of his spiritual sense, simultaneously activating the [Gathering of Fortune] to ignite his luck, and carrying the constantly struggling Ao Ying, he traversed the time-distorted ruins of the Dragon Palace.

At this moment, the entire Dragon Palace has been transformed into a bizarre and fantastical ruin, with cave dwellings from different historical periods existing simultaneously.

In some places, the power of time still remains, and it is very likely that one can go back in time once inside.

Ye Li walked slowly, stopping occasionally, carefully avoiding the areas most severely eroded by time.

Although a certificate is valid for life, who knows what might be inside those places? It's still not worth taking the risk.

"Hey, human brat, let me go!"

"Say something! Otherwise, I'll really get angry!"

"You bastard, believe me or not, I'll get back to my peak and teach you a lesson!"

Ao Ying was trapped between Ye Li's waists, struggling incessantly, which annoyed Ye Li, who said directly, "If you keep making trouble, believe me, I'll marry you off!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Ying immediately shrank back, her tone uncertain as she said, "Your martial aunt and I have been best friends for hundreds of years, you can't—"

As she spoke, Ao Ying found that her rational mind was telling her not to be afraid, but her emotions were telling her, what if?

Although he was previously at the Boundless level, he now only has the Body Tempering cultivation level. In addition, the hormonal influence from his childhood makes his emotions more volatile and difficult to control.

This made Ao Ying feel even more attached to Ye Li, her half-clan member, while she was still afraid.

This isn't Stockholm syndrome; it's simply that the effects of Ye Li's "Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique" are too strong. Coupled with the current harsh and extremely dangerous environment, Ao Ying's bloodline subconsciously treats him as a member of the same race, and she can't help but feel affection for him.

"How dare I! How could I possibly do something like that—inhaling the scent of this human like a crazed dragon, then making a blissful expression?!"

Ao Ying roared like a dragon in her heart. Although her body told her that she really wanted to cling to it, she knew that once she did it, she would never be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the sea eye when she returned to the Grandmaster level.

Moreover, Ye Li is Ao Li's husband, and Long Zun is my older brother. I am his sister-in-law!

That jerk! He doesn't care about my dignity as his senior at all, he actually threatened to spank his sister-in-law!

Okay, once it turns back to normal, it'll be my turn as the elder to give it a good spanking and humiliate it back!

Ao Ying's heart was in turmoil, but Ye Li completely ignored this drama queen and headed towards the predetermined route.

As his spiritual guidance became clearer, he quickened his pace and traversed through the many caves, until a bright and open space suddenly appeared before him.

Ahead lay a cluster of palaces, weathered by time, neither new nor old.

It is described as being neither new nor old because the main buildings are still in the original style of the Dragon Palace, while the other half has regressed to an ancient building from who knows how many years ago. The two are forcibly pieced together, like a collage of time.

And among these buildings, a familiar figure stood in the distance with his back to him.

The person was dressed in a plain white dress, with a slender figure and black hair cascading down to his waist. He was looking up at the dragon palace that seemed to flow backwards from ancient times, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Uncle-Master!"

Ye Li quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab the other person's wrist to check on their safety.

Along with the actions, Ye Li's thoughts also flowed freely:

My martial uncle doesn't possess the Dragon Clan's secret technique for fixing time. Even if it did exist at this moment, the erosion of time has caused his cultivation level to regress back to the Innate Realm.

My uncle from the innate stage probably doesn't even recognize me, so I'll need to explain myself.

Thinking this, Ye Li grabbed the wrist of the woman in white in front of him, making her turn around alertly at the sound, so that Ye Li could see her face.

Her appearance was three times more youthful than Ye Li knew, but her temperament, compared to her original aloofness, was more sorrowful, making people feel sorry for her.

Shen Qinglian's aloofness was a calmness born of reflection, like the gentle moonlight, while the woman before him was filled with sorrow.

How should one address a martial uncle from hundreds of years ago? Qinglian —

As Ye Li was pondering how to begin, the cold, aloof girl's wary gaze fell upon his appearance, and he froze in shock.

He paused in his struggle, then uttered a word that Ye Li couldn't believe: "Junior brother?"

"Huh?" Ye Li was slightly taken aback.

The next moment, she felt a soft fragrance in her arms and burst into tears.

"Wait—what's going on?"

A strange feeling welled up in Ye Li's heart as he looked at the girl clinging to him, while Ao Ying, at his waist, also stared at him with an eerie gaze.

Ye Li.

"Something's wrong! I've got the wrong person!"

In Ye Li's memory, the person who could use this word was not Shen Qinglian but — Shen Fuyao?

Ye Li froze, letting the girl in his arms cry, and activated his senses to perceive the outside world.

Beyond the Dragon Palace, which lies far away from him, there is another being with whom he has an intimate relationship.

If the person in my arms is my senior sister, then my martial uncle must be outside the Dragon Palace? My palm strike was so powerful, could it have knocked my martial uncle out of the Dragon Palace?

Leaving aside Ye Li's strangeness.

Shen Fuyao, nestled in Ye Li's arms, paid no attention to any of that, believing herself to be in a dream world and unable to recognize reality.

Her memories, flowing backward through the reversed flow of the original sand, traced back to a few days after Ye Li used the Karmic Calamity Blade.

In Shen Fuyao's memory, Ye Li's talent had been completely wasted, and his fate was unknown.

She herself arrived in this unknown and mysterious place in an instant, where she met Ye Li.

In Shen Fuyao's eyes, she must have been thinking too much after Ye Li's disappearance, which led to the dream.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Shen Fuyao clutched Ye Li's clothes, tears streaming down her face, as she expressed her guilt: "If it weren't for me, Junior Brother, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble. I even thought of deceiving you before—"

Shen Fuyao clung to Ye Li's clothes, repeatedly expressing her guilt, almost wanting to melt into Ye Li's arms.

Looking at the sobbing girl in his arms, Ye Li didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only awkwardly say, "Senior sister, I didn't mean to blame you—"

Before he could even speak, Ye Li felt a delicate fragrance brush against his face.

Shen Fuyao's fair and delicate arms were already wrapped around Ye Li's arm, and her cheek was pressed against Ye Li's lips.

"Since it's a dream, it doesn't matter what we do."

As Shen Fuyao thought this, she looked at Ye Li, who was instinctively resisting, and activated the internal energy field to separate the two of them.

Ye Li didn't even have time to dodge before he felt the sweet, refreshing sensation, like a mountain spring, flowing towards him.

"Senior Sister?"

Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Palace, a fifteen-year-old girl sat on a reef with a grim expression.

Looking at the drastically changed environment around her, she felt displeased.

[The Mind is Clear] is telling itself that something extremely terrible is happening!
