Open up and break into another world

“Hmph! For now, I'll just slap him ten times to show a little something!” Xu Ming put away his cheat. “When I become rich in the future, I'll slap him until he doubts his very existence!”

After using “Remote Slapping” to abuse Li Xiujie, Xu Ming felt incomparably refreshed.

“Lü Qing!” Xu Ming shouted towards the sky within the World Ring, “How much longer until we reach Yan Yan Divine Mountain?”

“It'll be a while!” The World Ring belonged to Lü Qing; she naturally controlled every movement within it. Hearing Xu Ming's shout, she said, “It'll probably take another half a month!”

“So far…” Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Yan Divine Mountain and Golden Crow City were not located at opposite ends of Yan Yan Continent but were both relatively close to the continent's center. Even so, with Lü Qing's speed as a God Emperor, traversing this distance still required more than half a month; this showed just how vast Yan Yan Continent was, and how vast the God Domain was!

One should know that the size of the God Domain's seven continents was far smaller than the two great seas! And Yan Yan Continent was considered one of the smaller ones among the seven continents!

The vastness of the God Domain was unimaginable!

Suddenly, Xu Ming asked, “Lü Qing, do you know of Saint Emperor City?”

“Saint Emperor City?” Lü Qing raised an eyebrow. “Of course, I know it!”

“Could you briefly introduce it to me?” Xu Ming's heart trembled.

The main reason Xu Ming came to the God Domain was to go to Saint Emperor City and find Yin Ran!

And now, Xu Ming could finally learn some information about Saint Emperor City.

“Saint Emperor City… In the God Domain, it is a Divine City with an extremely special status!” Lü Qing said, “Because Saint Emperor City was jointly built by several 'Peak Existences'; all other Divine Cities, regardless of whether they are Lower Divine Cities, Middle Divine Cities, Upper Divine Cities, or even Prefecture Cities, are all subject to the control of Saint Emperor City!”

“Ah!?” Xu Ming was shocked—he really hadn't expected Saint Emperor City to have such a high status in the God Domain, actually governing all the Divine Cities in the entire God Domain!

At the same time, Xu Ming vaguely felt immense pressure and thought to himself, “Yin Ran told me before that she has a very high status within Saint Emperor City; and when Yin Ran was taken away, I heard that her father was some kind of 'City Lord'. Could it be… Yin Ran's father is the City Lord of Saint Emperor City?”

Xu Ming wasn't 100% sure.

Moreover, because he didn't have enough cheat points, he couldn't directly investigate the secrets within Saint Emperor City.

“If Yin Ran's father really is the City Lord of Saint Emperor City, then how high would her status be in the God Domain…” The more Xu Ming thought about it, the more alarmed he became. “If I want to see Yin Ran, or even openly marry her, I'm afraid I still have a long way to go!”

However, no matter how high Yin Ran's status was in the God Domain, it couldn't change one fact—she was Xu Ming's woman!

Saint Emperor City…

Xu Ming would definitely go there!

But before heading to Saint Emperor City, Xu Ming had to strengthen himself as quickly as possible; and Yan Yan Divine Mountain was a very good platform to improve his strength!

At this moment, Lü Qing said again, “Although Saint Emperor City's status is special, it can only manage those Divine Cities! A place like my Yan Yan Divine Mountain is not subject to the control of Saint Emperor City at all!”

“To be able to control the Divine Cities of the entire God Domain is really amazing!” Xu Ming exclaimed.

“Amazing?” Lü Qing sneered, “No matter how amazing it is, it's not because of the Saint Emperor City Lord's ability, but the ability of those 'Peak Existences' behind Saint Emperor City! But then again, for Peak Existences, Divine Cities and the like are actually meaningless!”

“Uh…” Xu Ming didn't quite understand.

Anyway, for the current Xu Ming, both Saint Emperor City and Yan Yan Divine Mountain were very awesome!

“Then… where is Saint Emperor City located?” Xu Ming wanted to understand a bit first.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Yin Ran was wearing a cyan dress today.

The cyan robe was loose, but it was difficult to hide the alluring temptation on Yin Ran's body.

Yin Ran's skin was still as crystal clear as warm jade, and her eyes were still as clear and bright as springs; her appearance was the most perfect work of heaven!

However, Yin Ran's temperament was no longer as cold as before; deep in her eyes, there was a hint of longing hidden.

Yin Ran's cultivation was still a demigod; moreover, compared to when she left Xu Ming last time, she had made almost no progress!

Yes, no progress!

It wasn't that Yin Ran didn't want to cultivate, but… her physique was too special, and once she cultivated to become a god, it would attract a great disaster!

A disaster that would be extremely great for the entire Saint Emperor City!

Therefore, Yin Ran had never put cultivation in her heart; in fact, she would deliberately not cultivate, in order to prevent herself from becoming a god!

“I wonder… if Xu Ming has already attained godhood…” Yin Ran murmured to herself.

Immediately, Yin Ran smiled self-deprecatingly—how long had she been away from Xu Ming!

When she left, Xu Ming's cultivation was only at the Dao Lord level! In Yin Ran's opinion, even if Xu Ming's talent was monstrous, it was impossible for him to attain godhood in just a decade or two!

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a mighty aura walked over; it was Yin Ran's father, and also the City Lord of Saint Emperor City!

“Xiao Ran, let's talk about your matter of seeking a husband!” The Saint Emperor City Lord said with a gentle smile.

“I don't want to marry!” Yin Ran said with a pout.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” The Saint Emperor City Lord's voice sank slightly, “Your physique is special, only after you marry can you cultivate in peace, without worrying about that…”

“I won't marry!” Yin Ran's temperament became cold again, “If I can't cultivate, then I can't cultivate! At worst, I won't cultivate or become a god in the future, and then nothing will happen!”

“If you don't become a god, you won't even be able to have eternal life!” The Saint Emperor City Lord shouted.

Although he had many treasures to prolong life, without being a true god, no matter how much he prolonged life, life would slowly pass away.

Unless Yin Ran was placed in a place like “Eternal Silence Grotto Heaven”, allowing her to fall into permanent sleep, then the loss of vitality would be slowed to an extreme; but if she was permanently asleep, what difference would there be from being dead?

The Saint Emperor City Lord absolutely could not allow his daughter to not even be able to achieve eternal life!

“Anyway, I won't marry! If you want to marry, you go marry!” Yin Ran left directly in a huff.

Yin Ran felt extremely wronged in her heart—she knew that no matter how much she resisted, her father would tie her up and marry her off within a thousand years! And she couldn't resist at all!—She could use treasures to secretly sneak out of Saint Emperor City once; but there would never be a second chance to sneak away!

“A thousand years…” In Yin Ran's opinion, this time was too short!

In her opinion, it would be difficult for Xu Ming to even become a god within a thousand years, let alone arrive at Saint Emperor City; as for wanting to compete with other opponents and finally marry her, it was even more of a fantasy!

How much Yin Ran wished she could wait for Xu Ming, but she was very rational—the time was too short! It was impossible to wait!

Unknowingly, Yin Ran walked to the entrance of the Void Sky Realm.

Within Saint Emperor City, there were several Void Sky Realms. There was one in the City Lord's Mansion alone.

“Let's go see the 'Combat Shadows' in the Void Sky Realm to relax!” Yin Ran walked directly into the Void Sky Realm.

The Void Sky Realm was not just a place for combat sparring, it also had many other functions. For example, in the God Domain, some wonderful battles would be recorded by the surrounding gods with the “Water Curtain Technique”, and then uploaded to the Void Sky Realm for the gods of the entire God Domain to watch.

Yin Ran didn't cultivate, and wasn't even a god; so she entered the Void Sky Realm mainly to watch combat shadows and the like.

“Hmm?” After Yin Ran walked into the Void Sky Realm, among the dense and numerous combat shadows, she surprisingly glimpsed two words—Xu Ming!

“Xu Ming!?” Yin Ran's heart trembled wildly, “How is that possible! How long has it been, how could Xu Ming have come to the God Domain? Moreover, even if he came to the God Domain, he must be the weakest one-star god; how could there be wonderful combat shadows uploaded to the Void Sky Realm?”

Yin Ran quickly understood that the name “Xu Ming” seen here must be someone else!—After all, the God Domain was vast, and there were too many people with the same name and surname! It was not strange that others were also called Xu Ming!

Although Yin Ran clearly knew that this “Xu Ming” could not be the “Xu Ming” in her heart, she still couldn't help but choose to watch this combat shadow.
