Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"You really don't believe me?"

Xia Jin's smile deepened as she watched the two women shake their heads in unison.

"Very well, this time I will let you see for yourselves just how powerful I am now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jin hugged the two women tightly, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy instantly enveloped Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji.

The next second, the two women felt a blur before their eyes, and the ground beneath their feet rapidly moved away. The violent spatial changes made them dizzy for a moment, and they subconsciously grabbed Xia Jin's arm tightly.

When they saw the scene before them again, a look of shock flashed in their eyes at the same time.

No one knows when they left the Eastern Xuan Continent, left the Great Xia Dynasty, and left the land where they had lived for countless years.

At this moment, they were suspended in the endless void, and the small world where the Great Xia was located was rapidly shrinking beneath their feet.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a fingernail.

"Have we already left that little world we were in?" Leng Yuexi subconsciously squeezed Xia Jin's arm hard.

Su Xuanji, standing to the side, did the same.

After all, even though the two of them had reached the Divine Realm, they had never dared to imagine that they could so easily leave the world they inhabited.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they know they can't.

Because every time they approached the edge of the small world, a powerful, suffocating repulsive force prevented them from leaving.

At that moment, in the blink of an eye, Xia Jin led them across the barriers of the entire world and rushed out without any hindrance.

The difference is so vast that it cannot be summarized in a single level.

Xia Jin looked at the undisguised shock on the two women's faces, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes, but she didn't rush to explain. Instead, she put her arms around them with interest, letting them slowly process what was happening before them.

In the void, all around was darkness, with only one or two stars occasionally twinkling with faint starlight.

Gradually, all sorts of strange and unusual celestial bodies began to appear around them.

Some are entirely crimson, with lava-like patterns flowing across their surfaces; some are pitch black, like a drop of ink; and some are covered by a thick layer of ice, radiating a cold light.

These planets vary in size, but without exception, they all exude an aura of desolation and death.

There was no sign of life, as if this universe, apart from the small world where the Great Xia had just been, was a dead land.

Occasionally, in the far distance, one or two blurry figures can be seen flashing by.

Those figures were extremely fast, but they seemed to have sensed the presence of Xia Jin and her two companions, so they kept their distance and none of them dared to approach.

Su Xuanji couldn't help but sigh, "After Yuexi and I entered the Divine Realm, we also tried to break through the world barrier to see what the outside world of this small world was like. But every time we got close to the edge, we felt an extremely strong restrictive force, as if the whole world was suppressing us and not allowing us to leave."

"This is the first time we've seen the scenery outside this world. Indeed, you only realize how ignorant you were after you've seen it."

"You don't need to underestimate yourselves! Leaving your little world isn't actually that difficult," Xia Jin chuckled.

"You find it difficult because, in the end, you two are only at the initial stage of the Divine Realm."

"The gap between the first and ninth levels of the Divine Realm is several times greater than the gap between a mortal and a terrestrial immortal."

"It is extremely difficult and very easy to perish if you want to leave your small world and venture into the outside world as soon as you enter the Divine Realm. The restrictive force you feel is the barrier set up by your world to protect you 'young birds'."

"However, once your cultivation reaches the fifth level of the Divine Realm, this restrictive force will naturally disappear."

Fifth level of the Divine Realm.

Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji exchanged a glance, secretly noting down this threshold in their hearts.

They were only at the first level of the Divine Realm, still quite a distance from the fifth level, but having a clear goal made them feel more at ease.

Xia Jin moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had already led the two women far away from the small world where the Eastern Xuan Continent was located.

There are many different kinds of planets floating in the void, some of which are enormous, hundreds or thousands of times larger than the Eastern Xuan Continent; others are only a few dozen feet in size.

Suddenly, Xia Jin's gaze swept around, a half-smile appearing on his lips. He casually pointed to a huge meteorite hundreds of miles away.

The meteorite was dark gray in color, with a pitted and uneven surface. It floated silently in the void, looking no different from the desolate celestial bodies around it.

"Look over there," Xia Jin said with a smile.

Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji followed his gaze and saw the inconspicuous giant meteorite.

Su Xuanji frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "That meteorite? Isn't it just an ordinary rock?"

Xia Jin didn't answer directly, but instead gave Su Xuanji a mischievous look: "Ordinary? Why don't you try attacking that meteorite? Maybe the result will surprise you!"

"Hmph!! I don't believe it! Watch how I split it in two!!" Su Xuanji raised an eyebrow, took a few steps forward from Xia Jin's embrace, then took a deep breath, and her spiritual power surged wildly within her body.

Behind her, a giant illusory blue lotus slowly bloomed.

"cut!"

A sword aura hundreds of feet high, resembling a blue lotus, roared from her fingertips, carrying with it a flurry of falling petals as it slashed fiercely down at the meteorite.

"Come, let me see. What's so special about a mere meteorite?" Su Xuanji was extremely confident in her sword strike.

After she entered the Divine Realm, the power of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique increased more than tenfold. With her current strength, this sword strike could cleave not only a meteorite, but also the ancient mountains on the Eastern Xuan Continent that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

However, the next moment, her eyelashes trembled involuntarily.

With a loud bang, the Azure Lotus Sword Qi slammed into the meteorite.

However, the expected scene of the meteorite being cleaved in two by a single sword strike did not occur. The terrifying sword energy, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, seemed to have hit an invisible wall the moment it touched the surface of the meteorite, and was actually blocked.

"No...impossible! My sword strike didn't even cause the slightest damage to that meteorite?"

Su Xuanji's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

"No, Sister Xuanji, it's not about the meteorite!!" Leng Yuexi's expression changed.

Her gaze was fixed on the meteorite; for a fleeting moment, she seemed to have seen something.

Just as Su Xuanji's sword energy struck the meteorite, an extremely faint golden light flashed across the meteorite's surface.

While the two women were still in shock, a deafening roar suddenly exploded in the void.

"What exactly was hidden inside that meteorite?"

Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji felt a ringing in their ears, and the spiritual energy in their bodies was slightly disordered by the roar.

With that roar, the debris and dust on the surface of the giant meteorite slowly peeled away, revealing a metallic-looking shell.

A monster slowly crawled out from inside the meteorite.

It was a colossal creature hundreds of meters tall, its entire body covered in dark golden scales.

"Such a huge demonic beast... a pangolin?! Its aura is probably even greater than that of the black dragon and the fire phoenix!!" A hint of fear flashed in Su Xuanji's eyes, and she subconsciously took a step back, only to be pulled into Xia Jin's arms.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, there's nothing to worry about!!"
