Chapter 399: Coming Out!

Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes and his lips curved into a slight smile.

'Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment!'

In just mere six months, he had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm!

'This… this is simply amazing.'

It had only been about ten months since he had entered this strange space, and he was able to increase his cultivation realm by twelve levels!

This was unprecedented!

'Not even my father will believe me if I tell him about this.'

Such a fast upgrade in cultivation… Ye Tian Yun was sure even the Emblem System would fail in achieving this humongous task.

'I wonder what is going on in the real world?'

Even though he had increased his cultivation by a lot and was very satisfied with the progress he made, the curiosity to know the state of the martial world was itching him every second.

'It's time to get out.'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and called out his acquaintance.

'Wang Yao.'

"Hm?" Wang Yao's voice resounded in his ears, "Oh, you finished cultivation? Wait… damn! Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment! Crazy!"

Ye Tian Yun replied with a smug smile, "Well, anything less was unacceptable for me."

Wang Yao nodded, "Is there anything you want to ask, or should we prepare for the next step?"

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "I have one last thing that's bugging me."

"Oh? Do ask."

Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes while asking, "When I met your future self, you revealed that you had killed Shi Yan and gotten the Emblem Of Chaos from him."

Wang Yao lightly nodded his head, "Ah, yes, I remember that. Do you want to know why you didn't get the Emblem Of Chaos after killing me?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes. Since you possessed the two emblems, I should have gotten both of them after killing you. But how come I didn't?"

Wang Yao replied, "The reason is pretty simple. Every Emblem has its own abilities. The Emblem Of Time may be the most unique Emblem of all, but the Emblem Of Chaos isn't far behind from it. This Emblem actually has its own consciousness."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

Wang Yao nodded, "Earlier, the only reason why I had it was because I had suppressed it through my cultivation. But with the increasing Heavenly Constraints around me, it was already slipping from my grasp. You killing me just fast-forwarded the result, and the Emblem Of Chaos escaped."

"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun asked, "It escaped for a new host? The new host will be…"

"Shi Yan."

"Shi Yan."

Both of them spoke in unison.

Wang Yao smiled, "Indeed. That bastard."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "If I kill him in the near future, won't the Emblem Of Chaos escape once again?"

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes, it will. Why do you think the System always advised me not to kill or harm Shi Yan? It was because it would lose the Emblem Of Chaos inside him."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "That's fair enough."

Wang Yao then asked, "So, are you ready to go out?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Of course, it's about damn time."

"Ready to meet your wife, aye?"

"Shut up…"

Wang Yao ignored him and continued, "Well, try concentrating on the Emblem Of Time now. With your higher cultivation, you should be able to get out of this place. But remember one thing, you won't be able to come back here."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I won't be able to come back…"

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes. I don't know the exact details, but I also entered a similar space when I first got the Emblem Of Time, but mine was different. However, I never got the chance of getting back to it, no matter how hard I tried."

Ye Tian Yun asked, "I won't be able to breakthrough anymore here, so this place is not useful for me. Maybe if I had the pill to form the Core, then I would have stayed here for a few more years and increased my cultivation to the peak of Half Saint."

"And then I would have gone out and pinched my enemies to oblivion."

Wang Yao smiled when he heard Ye Tian Yun's words.

"It's best you first focus on what's happening outside."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

'It's been ten months… lots of opportunities missed…. I wonder what the state of the outside world is.'

Wang Yao gave a mysterious smile when he heard this.

"Alright, let's prepare."

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and sat cross-legged.

Right now, the only goal in his mind was to focus on sensing the Emblem Of Time and use it to get out of this space.

The Emblem Of Time, as its name suggests, works on the concept of time.

However, it's not easy to grasp, and even talents like Ye Tian Yun might need years before fully understanding it.

Like Wang Yao, who took forever to comprehend other secrets of this Emblem, was already the Heavenly Emperor by the time he learned the way to get into the past.

Just as he was trying to sense the Emblem Of Time, a familiar churning feeling began to well up in his chest.

Ye Tian Yun frowned.

"Don't lose your focus."  Wang Yao chimed in his consciousness.

Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded and continued to concentrate.

Suddenly, just as Ye Tian Yun took his next breath, he frowned.

'Something's burning?'

He opened his eyes and found himself in the ruined Silver Mist City.

'I am out!'

He smiled and stood up.

But in the next moment, his expression morphed into that of confusion.

'What? The Silver Mist City is still burning?'

How come no one cleaned this place?

It was as if nothing had changed.

Ye Tian Yun turned to look around, and this time his confusion turned into pure shock!

Because in front of him were two unconscious people - Jun Xie and Qin Wentian!

'What the fuck is going on?'

'They are lying here for ten months!?'

'Where's Yuan Shuchun!?'

Ye Tian Yun frowned in confusion.

Just then - 

*BOOM!*

A loud explosion was heard from a nearby location.

Ye Tian Yun took out a small knife and threw it at Qin Wentian's neck, and then coming closer to Jun Xie, he picked him on his shoulder and headed towards the source of the explosion.

Behind him, the sword pierced through Qin Wentian's throat, instantly killing him, and slowly his body dissolved into a puddle of dirt.
