Yun Yang could empathize with Ling Xiaozui\'s feelings.

Even without his status and background, if a person who had been at the top of the Tianxuan Continent and commanding the scene for so long were to refuse the fate of mediocrity once he got to the Bound of Universe, he had to find a source of influential support and depend on it.

Maybe one could be an ordinary disciple of a school and slowly make his way up the ladder; maybe one could attach himself to a noble family as a serving man - yet, what was the difference in that from being a simple home servant?

Furthermore, there was the status of being one who came from a place that God despised.

It was awful!

Such was the case. Forget the fact that Ling Xiaozui was reluctant to go, even Yun Yang was not willing to as well.

Nonetheless, there was no way forward if they remained where they were.

This was a dead end with no other solution in sight!

"Bound of Universe… How big is it?" Yun Yang mused.

"Very, very big - barely describable with words!" Ling Xiaozui chuckled flatly. "I\'ve snuck in before by chance, using a gem. Fortunately, what I wanted to know wasn\'t exactly confidential in the Bound of Universe. It was only pure bad luck that my prized possession was destroyed when my identity was exposed and I fell out of the void passage during an ambush."

"It\'s actually quite simple if we want to go to Bound of Universe again now. As long as you concentrate all of your cultivation base to trigger the domain sense, the crack in space will automatically be activated and you can enter the Bound of Universe through this crack. However, this method easily allows the people from the Bound of Universe to find out our origins and background. Once our identities are exposed… we\'re basically the lowest caste - a caste that hails from where God despises!"

Dugu Chou sighed too.

"No way… If this is the case, how did Lei Dongtian come over the other day? He was so proud of his cultivation base, proud of the fact that although he wasn\'t the best, he was still one of the proficient experts."

Yun Yang asked with no small amount of surprise, "Lei Dongtian\'s cultivation base was indeed impressive then, but now… it can only be considered meager. How could he travel back and forth freely? There must be a reason behind…"

There was also Yun Yang\'s sixth brother, Supreme Thunder, who came from the Bound of Universe. His cultivation base was worse than what was required, but he had, nonetheless, come to the Tianxuan Continent. How could there not be any reason for this?

Ling Xiaozui said in a puzzled tone, "There must be some special method… If one could travel between the Bound of Universe and Tianxuan Continent freely when their cultivation base is lower than ours, I\'d never believe it - there must be many restraining conditions!"

"Oh…" Yun Yang mused.

Perhaps this could explain why Lei Dongtian had not returned after leaving. What could the reason actually be?

"Speaking of cultivation base…" Ling Xiaozui looked at both Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi while saying, "We two old men have worked hard, experiencing countless life and death threats, before we managed to break through God\'s Shackles by luck. The two of you young ones, though - how did it happen?"

Dugu Chou looked perturbed as well as he said, "That\'s correct. Situations like those that the two of you have experienced are unheard of…"

"Previously, I was thinking perhaps Yun Yang had gone through a rebirth due to the Residence of Nine Supremes. Looking at it now, Lady Ji\'s cultivation base reached God\'s Shackles earlier. The depth of your cultivation base now may be higher than both of us old men… This is very puzzling."

As he spoke, he grabbed Yun Yang\'s hand to check his meridians, sending out his refined mystical Qi to check Yun Yang\'s body. Yun Yang was not peeved at all, making no move to reject the intrusion. He was very puzzled about his current state as well.

However, Dugu Chou pulled back abruptly in the midst of his inspection. He raised his head, watching Yun Yang like he had seen a ghost. "You - you… How many chakras have been awakened in you? Have you, in truth, been gifted with a mysterious physique?"

Yun Yang scratched his head. "This junior is truly unaware of this. This junior had only seven awakened chakras initially, but through many fated encounters and the incident this time, I\'ve come to the state that I\'m in now. May I ask how many chakras are awakened in both seniors?"

He gazed towards Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou.

Dugu Chou was silent with an irked face, but Ling Xiaozui openly replied, "I have fifteen now. Let me see your…"

As he spoke, he began checking Yun Yang\'s meridians as well. Similarly, before his mystical Qi could make a cycle through Yun Yang\'s meridians, he retracted his hand with a sudden jolt. His head lifted in shock, eyes staring right at Yun Yang, and his breathing was somewhat labored. "You… All are awakened?"

He turned to look at Dugu Chou and the latter nodded reluctantly.

The two experts were speechless.

They had made half a cycle, but they could already tell that there were over a hundred chakras in Yun Yang, at the very least. If they had completed the cycle around his body, what could the final count be?

How many chakras could possibly exist in one person?

Dugu Chou looked upset as he said, "I have sixteen. It took me over five hundred and seventy years. Since a hundred and twenty years ago, there hasn\'t been any progress…"

Ji Lingxi extended her arm with even more interest, saying, "Please see how many do I have awakened - if I have more than Yun Yang!"

Ling Xiaozui helped the lady and twitched like he was being electrocuted. His eyes threatened to fall out of his sockets. "Yours are fully awakened as well? You have even more than Yun Yang! How is this even possible?"

"What?" Dugu Chou stood up in shock and grabbed Ji Lingxi\'s hand to check.

Then, he slumped down on his chair; a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"How can such a thing happen in this world? Oh, God…"

The two experts were flummoxed.

Ji Lingxi spoke up feebly, "I don\'t know what has happened to Yun Yang, but - anyway - my chakras have been a mess since I was born. It\'s countless, and it was decided a long time ago that my cultivation journey wouldn\'t go far… My family hasn\'t been fond of me since… It\'s only recently that everything has improved after a few nights of good slumber."

Things were still manageable before she revealed the reality of her situation. Once she did, Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou immediately felt like breaking down.

\'Do you mean your chakras were already visible when you were born? They were awakened with some sleep?\'

\'We\'ve cultivated all our lives and it can\'t compare to the simple event of your birth…\'

\'How flashy! You can ascend straight into immortality then - why flaunt your abilities at talentless people like us?\'

\'Pardon?\'

The two Unrivaled Experts were baffled by the current situation before them. They felt immensely maligned as well. Such a feeling was truly a first for them.

It was simply unfair!

\'If you two had gone through grueling cultivation and lots of other things before so many chakras had been awakened, we wouldn\'t feel as bad!\'

\'Awakened since birth… What the heck? How is this possible?\'

\'This is what cheating looks like, isn\'t it?\'

\'The God\'s Shackles that had impeded everyone doesn\'t even exist with the both of you!\'

Compared to the speechlessness of the elders, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi were ecstatic, anticipatory, even.

"If so… doesn\'t that mean that our cultivation base is already at the same standard? More so, mine would be highest - I improved further yesterday…" Ji Lingxi was eager. "Why don\'t we try it out?"
