A woman was standing atop a hill and smiled after listening to the incoming voice transmission.
Not far away, a young woman with long black hair, wearing a white and yellow dress, was practicing with her sword, and her movements were like dancing.
Although the young woman's face looks ordinary, she has an attractive and sexy figure. Her big breasts swayed around every time she moved, and her long legs looked smooth.
The woman then turned and called out to the young woman. "Xiao Chen, you can stop practicing first."
"Eh?" Xiao Chen was surprised to hear that; she approached the woman and asked. "Why are you asking me to stop practicing, Big Sis Zhongying?"
Although Bai Zhongying was her Master, she asked Xiao Chen not to call her as Master but Big Sister, for she felt that being referred to as Master made her feel old.
"I want to go to the Imperial City to see Zhixian, and you must come with me." Bai Zhongyin explained to her.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment and then exclaimed. "Really? Is Big Sis Zhixian in this continent now?"
"Yes." Bai Zhongying nodded to her. "Big Sis Ling contacted and told me that Zhixian followed her husband to this continent, and she is now in the Imperial Capital."
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded after hearing that, for she knew that Bai Zhixian had never been close to any man before, but now Bai Zhongying told her that she already had a husband.
*Flick*
"Ouch!" Xiao Chen immediately rubbed her forehead.
Bai Zhongying chuckled and explained to her again. "Zhixian met that man a few months ago in the southern continent, and she fell in love with him at first sight. Moreover, that man is Yinyue's husband as well."
"What!?" Xiao Chen let out a scream of shock upon hearing that. "Are you kidding me? How could Big Sis Zhixian and Big Sis Yinyue be willing to marry the same man?"
"I'm not kidding you." Bai Zhongying shook her head at Xiao Chen. "Their situation is unique, but I can't explain the details. However, I have met that man, and he is powerful; even my cultivation can increase faster thanks to his pills."
"Hmm?" Xiao Chen raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "What's that man's name? Is he really that strong?"
"His name is Xia Tian, and he comes from the southern continent." Bai Zhongying then looked into the distance. "Honestly, I don't know his true strength yet, but I know that he is not an ordinary man, and I am not sure if you can beat him in one-on-one fight."
Xiao Chen frowned upon hearing that, and it was the first time she had heard Bai Zhongying not believe her abilities. "Is he also a swordsman like us?"
"Yes." Bai Zhongying nodded to her. "Xia Tian's sword energy is powerful, but I've never witnessed him use his sword techniques, so I can't tell you about his exact strength."
"I see." Xiao Chen then said. "In that case, let us immediately go to the Imperial Capital, Big Sis Zhongying. If Xia Tian is as powerful as you say, I would like to challenge him to a one-on-one fight."
Bai Zhongyin smiled upon hearing her disciple's words, for Xiao Chen was one of the top talents in the Holy Central Continent, and she had always been driven to fight with cultivators stronger than her.
Bai Zhongying then took out her flying artifact; they boarded it and flew away from the hill.

Meanwhile, Xia Tian, who was asleep, suddenly woke up in a dark place. However, in front of him, there was a light sphere that illuminated the entire area.
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows upon seeing that, but he felt that the place was completely different from where he had met his half-soul before.
After thinking for a while, Xia Tian entered the light sphere, and the area inside took him by surprise, for the place was filled with all kinds of weapons. Moreover, all the weapons looked extremely ancient, and he could not recognize the materials used to make them.
"What exactly is this place? I've been to the sword graveyard before, but this place is completely different." Xia Tian tried to touch one of the weapons, but his hand went right through it. "So this place isn't real, huh?"
Since he couldn't touch those weapons, Xia Tian decided to enter a deeper area, and the next area was filled with armor; all of them were as ancient as those weapons.
Xia Tian kept walking as he watched the armor. "Although everything looks so ancient, their grade is much higher than Qingfeng."
After that, Xia Tian passed through several other rooms with much other ancient equipment. Soon, he arrived at a spacious room, but nothing was in it.
"Hmm? Was my trip here in vain?" Xia Tian muttered to himself as he looked around the room.
While thinking about that, Xia Tian suddenly felt an intense pressure pressing down on him and immediately looked up.
However, Xia Tian immediately frowned, and his eyes focused on the figure of a man hanging above; even his body was bound by so many chains, and many spell papers were attached to them.
Xia Tian flew up to the man, and his expression became completely shocked after seeing his face. "How is this possible?"
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes and looked at Xia Tian with pitch-black eyes, but then he smiled faintly. "Fate is toying with your life, too, huh?"
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Tian asked with a frown.
The man said to him again. "However, you are luckier than me because you have so many people who faithfully support you."
"Well, that's true; they always support me faithfully." Xia Tian nodded and asked him back. "Who exactly are you? Why are you locked up in this place?"
"Haha." The man actually laughed at Xia Tian's question. "Do you still need to ask for my identity? You've seen my face, so you should recognize me by now, right?"
Xia Tian took a deep breath and nodded to him, but he still couldn't believe it, for the situation in front of him was too bizarre.
The man narrowed his eyes. "Although this is only your subconscious, I can feel my sword is in your hands now."
"Your sword?" Xia Tian frowned even more, silently thought, and soon said. "Asura Demon Sword?"
"Ha ha ha." The man laughed heartily after Xia Tian said that. "That's right, my Asura Demon Sword is in your hands, and it was trying to control you before."
"I didn't expect that you are the Asura Demon, let alone you are still alive today." Xia Tian said in a heavy tone. Even though he tried to stay calm to face him, he also felt extremely wary of him.
"Of course, I'm still alive, but I can't leave this place, especially with all this stuff tying me up." The man sighed heavily and spoke to him again. "Honestly, I never thought I would become the Asura Demon, but that damn Fate turned me into one."
"Huh?" Xia Tian was shocked at the Asura Demon's words. "What do you mean by that?"
The Asura Demon sighed and answered Xia Tian. "Everything that happened in our lives was the work of Fate, and she did everything just for her own pleasure."
"She?" Xia Tian asked with a raised eyebrow. "You mean Fate is a woman?"
"No." The Asura Demon shook his head at Xia Tian. "I don't know Fate's true form, but I met her once, and she used my wife's form to turn me into the Asura Demon."
Xia Tian stared at the Asura Demon dumbfounded. He had lived for so long, but he had never known that Fate had a form, and now he was telling him that Fate had met her.
The Asura Demon then warned Xia Tian. "If the woman you love deeply appears in front of you one day, then you must be extremely careful of her, or you will suffer the same fate as me."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding. "Anyway, can you tell me what really happened to you?"
"Why are you curious about that?" The Asura Demon asked him back.
Xia Tian sighed softly and told him about the Oracle's prophecy, which made the Asura Demon laugh out loud.
"Ha ha ha!" The Asura Demon continued to laugh, making Xia Tian unable to help but shake his head. "That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! If a great calamity is threatening the universe, the source is the Fate!"
"Hmm?" Xia Tian did not understand the Asura Demon's words.
The Asura Demon then explained. "Only Fate is omnipotent in this universe, and she can do whatever she wants, even to destroy it."
"If she's so omnipotent, why didn't she kill you?" Xia Tian asked in confusion.
The Asura Demon chuckled. "Like I said before, Fate did everything for her pleasure."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding, finally realizing a little about Fate's purpose and the Oracle's prophecy.
Suddenly, Xia Tian's subconscious was pulled away from him, and he saw the Asura Demon's lips move and say something to him, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
Soon, Xia Tian's subconscious disappeared from that place, and the Asura Demon sighed heavily. "We will meet again in the future to decide our fate."
