Chapter 405: The Cliché Beauty Sparks a Conflict Plot

Billions upon billions of spacetime dimensions, each a complete great thousand world. The grandeur of this city was enough to shock any cultivator.

Even Fang Ming could faintly sense several auras emanating from the city, auras that he could only contend with for a moment even with all his might.

These were cultivators at the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal level.

Each Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal was at least an Unsurpassed Giant. The peak cultivators of the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal realm who constructed the four origin worlds far surpassed the Unsurpassed Giants.

They existed in a state much weaker than Quasi-Immortal Emperors but stronger than Immortal King Unsurpassed Giants.

This city's defensive power was already formidable. Now, with numerous Great Enlightenment Immortals gathered here due to power struggles within factional disputes, its defenses were further enhanced. If Fang Ming were an enemy, he would have no choice but to turn back immediately.

However, this city was currently guarded by the Jie Sect faction.

As Fang Ming flew in, several immensely powerful divine senses scanned him. But upon encountering the token of Elder Li in Fang Ming's hand, they instantly recognized him as an ally and quickly retracted.

As for the black-clothed woman, Wu Jingman, because she was a rogue cultivator and was following Fang Ming, several powerful divine senses scanned her briefly before quickly returning.

Jade Dragon Pass, this city, naturally allowed rogue cultivators to enter, as long as enemy forces did not.

After the black-clothed woman and Fang Ming entered the city, they saw layers upon layers of spacetime dimensions everywhere they looked.

In every direction, upwards, downwards, left, and right, there were numerous spacetime dimensions, countless great thousand worlds stretching infinitely to the ends of spacetime.

Without guidance, even a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal would likely get lost here.

After making this judgment in his mind,

Fang Ming sent out a trace of his divine sense to search the infinite spacetime, his thoughts illuminating all things.

He pushed aside the layers of spacetime dimensions and entered the deepest spacetime within the city.

As Fang Ming entered, he happened to see a bustling street with many cultivators moving about.

Sensing the arrival of Fang Ming and the black-clothed woman, some cultivators' expressions shifted as they detected the unusual aura of the two, likely from the outside.

The vast majority of cultivators remained silent, glancing at them before returning to their own affairs.

Only a few cultivators in the Initial Profound realm showed surprise, staring at Fang Ming and the black-clothed woman and engaging in hushed discussions.

Then, they openly approached.

Fang Ming: "..."

Fang Ming then turned his gaze to the black-clothed woman, Wu Jingman, and transmitted his voice, "What is the relationship between those few and the Four Heroes of Xiancheng? Are they from the same faction?"

The Four Heroes of Xiancheng were the four Daoists Fang Ming had killed.

Fang Ming had never been to this city before, yet as soon as he entered, several people surrounded him.

In such a situation, Fang Ming naturally suspected that killing those four Daoists had caused trouble.

Otherwise, it would be too abnormal.

The black-clothed woman, Wu Jingman, shook her head and transmitted her voice, "Senior, I recognize the aura of the faction the Four Heroes of Xiancheng belonged to. These few are not from the same faction, and they should have no relation to each other."

"I've heard of these few when I was cultivating on Heavenly Pillar Mountain. They are also rogue cultivators and have not joined any faction."

Fang Ming frowned, finding it strange.

If it wasn't related to those four Daoists, then who was it related to?

He then recalled that the black-clothed woman was being pursued by those four Daoists, partly due to her beauty.

He couldn't help but frown inwardly. Although the black-clothed woman was extremely beautiful, she shouldn't be attracting the covetous gazes of several Initial Profound realm cultivators, should she?

This was neither scientific nor mystical.

Were cultivators that desperate?

Could it be for dual cultivation, like a cauldron?

That would make more sense.

Then, Fang Ming heard the voices of those who had surrounded them.

"This beauty, her appearance is too exquisite. I have never seen such a peerlessly beautiful woman in my life. She is truly the ultimate cauldron!"

"Having relations with her will definitely lead to a great increase in cultivation. With this cauldron, my promotion to Great Enlightenment True Immortal will be ten times, a hundred times easier, and even stepping onto the path of Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal might be possible!"

"A beauty of this caliber, once obtained, is the best treasure, the greatest reward. We can completely pack up and return to Heavenly Pillar Mountain, without having to fight here and painstakingly acquire cultivation resources."

A few sentences emerged.

Now, he was one hundred percent certain that the conflict was caused by beauty.

Fang Ming was lamenting that beauty had always been a source of trouble, as the saying went. Bringing a black-clothed woman had caused such a conflict, and he would have to step in and kill these few again.

Was this hero saving the beauty trope too cliché?

Suddenly, Fang Ming noticed that the black-clothed woman's eyes were extremely strange as she looked at him, as if she had something embarrassing to say but dared not.

The black-clothed woman, noticing Fang Ming's gaze, couldn't help but say, "Senior, they are not talking about me."

Not talking about you, then who are they talking about?

Fang Ming felt a sense of foreboding.

Then, he saw the gazes of those few Initial Profound realm cultivators clearly directed at him, not at the black-clothed woman.

"Brother, but this beauty... seems to be a man."

"Shut up! This beauty is so stunningly beautiful, what does it matter if she's a man or a woman? Brother will take it all!"

"Indeed! When I looked at him before, I felt as if I were seeing the embodiment of the Great Dao of Beauty! As everyone knows, only the Five Elements Great Dao has origin laws; other Great Daos have no origin laws, and cultivating other Dao laws leads to no further progress and the inability to comprehend the Initial Profound realm."

"But upon seeing this young man, I actually felt a possibility of comprehending the Initial Profound realm of Beauty. This is too incredible! This represents the possibility of constructing an origin world of Beauty!"

"So, origin laws beyond the Five Elements actually exist! Before today, I would never have believed such a world-shattering, unbelievable thing, but now I do!"

The leader of these few Initial Profound realm cultivators was named Heavenly Barbarian Sword Master.

In Heavenly Barbarian Sword Master's eyes, the young man in silver-white robes, Fang Ming, exuded infinite charm in every movement, as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated on him.

Countless temperaments were layered upon him, and different people saw different temperaments.

Heavenly Barbarian Sword Master saw the noble, arrogant, and deeply proud temperament emanating from the young man.

This temperament captivated him, and he couldn't help but be drawn to the young man's beauty, regarding the young man as his possession.
