Ye Tian Yun stepped out of the first and separated from the other disciples.
He wanted to head back to his cultivation abode in the Inner Court of the Seventh Peak.
After disguising himself back into Fang Chen in an abandoned alleyway, Ye Tian Yun headed for the chain bridge.
"I wonder what's Zheng Xiang's progress nowadays?" Ye Tian Yun was curious about him.
Zheng Xiang was one of the very few acquaintances of Ye Tian Yun ever in the Lower Heavens.
'I wonder if his clan is really safe now?'
As per the information he had on Zheng Xiang, Zheng Xiang was one of the earlier rivals of Fang Chen and Xiao Ming, but he suddenly disappeared with his clan just before the Grand Spirit Hunt.
'At first, I thought he died because his clan got embroiled in the secret mission… but now that I know this was all a cycle… hmmm….'
Ye Tian Yun immediately asked Wang Yao in his consciousness, "Would you have killed everyone else in the city after killing me?"
Wang Yao was stumped at this sudden question, but after some thought, he replied, "No. There was no need. I had limited time in my hand, and the more I interfered, the heavier Heavenly Constraints became. So I had no plans of killing the rest of the people in the city."
Ye Tian Yun frowned as he got on the chain bridge towards the seventh peak.
'If we consider that I died in that battle, and Wang Yao had no plans to kill the remaining people of the city… doesn't that mean he did not destroy the Zheng Clan in the original timeline too?'
'Hmm… that means there's a high chance the Zheng Clan's survival is not related to the incident at all? Or maybe it's just me overthinking.'
Ye Tian Yun didn't focus much on the matter and turned his attention to the ravine.
He remembered the Sword Stele where he had cultivated and increased his cultivation and also stabilized his Sword Domain.
'Once Jiang Yun betrays, and the Gracious Sword Sect falls, I will definitely be the first to reap the most benefits. The high-tier Spirit Vein is a waste in anyone else's hands.'
Grand Spirit Hunt - the biggest event in the Lower Heavens was going to be a big turning point for all the clans and sects of the Lower Heavens.
The Gracious Sword Sect will face the biggest brunt, and this will eventually lead to its downfall.
Ye Tian Yun had no intentions to change the outcome of this event.
WIthout Fang Chen, the Gracious Sword Sect was going to be leaderless.
'Fang Chen took only eight months after entering the sect to become one of the foremost people in the whole sect and held absolute power in his hand.'
The main reason behind all this was the relation between Sect Leader Su and Fang Chen.
Now that Ye Tian Yun was in Fang Chen's disguise, it wasn't wrong to say that Sect Leader Su will most probably focus on grooming him into a peak cultivator of his generation.
'But I don't need anything from it.'
What Ye Tian Yun needed was to get out of the sect.
After the three weeks deadline is over, Butler Liu would come to fetch Ye Tian Yun.
And once they are done with their objective, Butler Liu will head back to the Middle Heavens, while Ye Tian Yun will head towards the Capital City of the Xin Kingdom.
'That place is where I can get at least two more Token!'
And if I plan everything out, I might even have my hands on another Token.
In simple words, there were a total of Three Tokens present in the Xin Kingdom Capital City!
'I should prepare myself in the meantime.'
'I only have three months before Grand Spirit Hunt begins! Let's gear up!'
With these thoughts, Ye Tian Yun entered the Inner Court of the Seventh Peak and headed towards the Sixth Floor.
His cultivation abode was located on this floor.
After getting in the room, Ye Tian Yun first had a good bath and wore neat robes.
Then he cleaned the room and sat down to cultivate.
Taking a deep breath, the first thing Ye Tian Yun did was to calm his mind, thoughts, and soul.
'Fuuuuuu....'
He then slowly put his focus on the Emblem Of Time.
Snap!
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun heard a snap and opened his eyes.
In the next moment, he found himself back in the Strange Space.
This was similar to, if not the same, the place where he had earlier gotten stuck for about ten months!
'I wonder how long this time will take….'
Ye Tian Yun closed his eyes, and he found himself back in the cultivation abode in the next moment.
'Hm? I came back?'
In confusion, Ye Tian Yun put his focus on the Emblem Of Time once again, and after a few moments, when he opened his eyes, Ye Tian Yun found himself sitting crosslegged in the strange white space.
'Is the time also the same?' Ye Tian Yun didn't wish to waste time finding it by himself, so he asked Wang Yao.
Wang Yao thought for a moment and said, "I had a feeling that your Emblem Of Time's ability is to enter this cultivation space where the time speed is fast compared to the time speed outside this space."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Something like Time Dilation?"
"Yeah," Wang Yao nodded his head, "I could revert the time by a few seconds; this allowed me to change the outcome of the immediate past."
"I have later on comprehended many of the previous Emblem Holders' ability. From the cases I have seen, there's a high chance that no matter how much time you spend in this place, only half of it is gone in the actual world."
"For example, two days spend here would only mean one day has gone in the actual world."
