Chapter 175: Invincible In This World
Lu Tian stood on top of a mountain of the Martial Department. He held his hands behind his back and stared at Guanxuan Academy in the distance. There was a small smile playing on his lips.
Now, the two strongest clans in Guanxuan Universe were supporting him. In essence, his position was secured. Even the Committee would not be able to stop him.
It has been thirty million years since the Academy had a new master. Now, he was going to assume that position.
The Head Military Official walked towards Lu Tian and whispered, “Your era is about to begin!’
Lu Tian nodded. He was not bashful at all. As the Chosen One, he was destined to be invincible.
The Head Military Official added, “Although you have the support of the Yue Clan and the Gu Clan, there is one more place we need to go to get their support.”
Lu Tian looked at the Head Military Official, and the Head Military Official said, “The Demon Domain!”
The Demon Domain! Lu Tian started to frown.
The Demon Clan had a low profile inside the Academy. It wasn’t because they were weak. On the contrary, they were very, very strong.
The reason why they had low presence in the Academy was because they were self-governing, and most of them lived in the Demon Domain. They rarely interacted with outsiders. However, the Academy also oversaw them.
This was the arrangement because if the Demon Clan and humans lived together, conflicts could easily happen.
Therefore, the Demon Clan and humans lived separately, but they had interactions. Every ten years, the younger generation of the Demon Clan and the humans would spar in a battle.
The Head Military Official said, “Inside the Demon Domain, there are a few hundred thousand demon clans. We cannot get the support of the entire Demon Clan but we only need a few of them to support us. That would be enough!”
As he said this, he smiled, “We will return their support by supporting them to become the king of the Demon Clan in the future. I believe no one will turn down this offer.”
Lu Tian muttered, “The Heavenly Dragon Clan…”
The Head Military Official said, “Don’t bother about them anymore! When you become king, you can look at their expressions. That will be entertaining.”
Lu Tian smirked. “Indeed.”
The Head Military Official nodded. “Alright! Let’s head to the Demon Domain!”
A thought jumped into his mind, and he asked, “Teacher, are the Yue Clan and the Gu Clan truly supportive of us?”
The Head Military Official laughed, “They have no reason to trick us unless the true descendant of the Sword Master appears. However, is that possible?”
Lu Tian nodded. Very soon, the two of them teleported away.
……
In the Sword Tomb in Sword Sect.
Ye Guan had spent the past three days here training. During this time, he had been learning from the sword intent of his ancestors.
He would create his own path by learning from others.
Regardless of whether it was cultivation or swordsmanship, he could not be overly objective and disregard all outside influence. He had to pool wisdom from those before him and learn from them. This would broaden his mindset and allow him to go further.
Outside the Sword Tomb, Chen Guanzi was staring at Ye Guan in silence.
Cao Bai was standing beside him.
Cao Bai asked in a deep voice, “First Senior Brother, I feel like there are people around us, but I went around to check, and I did not find anyone. Am I mistaken? Or are they an extremely formidable stealth technique?”
Chen Guanzi raised his head and looked at the sky in silence.
Cao Bai noticed Chen Guanzi’s expression, and his facial muscles tightened. He asked, “First Senior Brother, is there really someone who is watching us?”
Chen Guanzi nodded.
“How dare they!”
A cold look passed by Cao Bai’s eyes, and he shouted, “What do they want? Do they want to kill Junior Brother Ye Guan?”
Chen Guanzi remained silent.
He could sense that there were people watching them. Furthermore, they were abnormally strong!
Cao Bai’s voice deepened, and he said, “First Senior Brother, we must inform our elders and seniors in the Xuzhen World.”
Chen Guanzi nodded. “I have already notified them.”
Cao Bai nodded, and he continued to stare at the sky with worry.
Chen Guanzi said, “Don’t bother about them. I will keep watch here.”
Cao Bai nodded.
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly opened his eyes.
Buzz!
A sword hum rang out with a shrill sound in the Sword Tomb. It shot into the sky, and the earth vibrated. Around Ye Guan, sword intent that was flowing like streams of water returned to his sword.
The Sword Tomb grew calm again.
Cao Bai was surprised by this scene, and he stammered, “W-What?”
Chen Guanzi stared at Ye Guan in the distance, but he remained silent.
Ye Guan stood up slowly. He was deep in thought now.
Little Pagoda asked, “How do you feel?”
Ye Guan smiled but remained silent.
Little Pagoda snapped, “Stop pretending, tell me!”
Ye Guan grinned. “Not too bad.”
Little Pagoda asked, “What do you mean by not too bad?”
After pondering for a while, Ye Guan said, “I feel good. I learned the Sword Dao from the seniors here, and I find them really great.”
Little Pagoda asked, “And then?”
Ye Guan said, “But I think that my Sword Dao is better.”
Little Pagoda stayed silent, and Ye Guan laughed, “I comprehended a lot, and I learned a lot.”
The mysterious voice said, “Little Pagoda, tell him that he should not let others influence him. He should…”
Suddenly, Ye Guan said, “I feel like I can learn other’s Dao and even become a Martial God from that. However, I must maintain my own Dao because that is my core. Therefore, after learning the Sword Dao of the seniors here, I am more determined to solidify my own Sword Dao!”
He paused for a while before continuing, “If I am not invincible in my life, I will eventually die. If one person between me and my enemy has to die, then it better be my enemy.”
Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.
“Ha ha!” The mysterious voice burst out laughing, “Incredible, incredible! His character will make him invincible!”
Little Pagoda asked, “Has he become a Great Sword Sovereign?”
The mysterious voice scolded, “You fool!”
Little Pagoda was speechless, and the mysterious voice asked, “Do you know what is the most terrifying thing?”
Little Pagoda said, “Just get straight to the point and stop winding around. My head will hurt if you take too many turns. Don’t you know that my mind is very simple?”
After a while, the mysterious voice said, “The most terrifying thing is when a person is able to remain grounded after experiencing glory and fame instead of being blinded by the riches in front of him.”
Little Pagoda said, “ Yes, you're saying that one should remain true to themselves even after experiencing glory.”
The mysterious voice asked, “Oh, you read books, too?”
Little Pagoda said, “That response was instinctive!”
The mysterious voice was at a loss for words.
Little Pagoda asked, “Has he become a Great Sword Sovereign?”
The mysterious voice said, “I think he's only one step away!”
Little Pagoda frowned. “One step away?”
The mysterious voice said, “Yes! I think he can make a breakthrough whenever he wants, but he simply doesn't want to.”
Little Pagoda was confused, and he asked, “Why?”
The mysterious voice thought for a while before saying, “This lad is a complicated person. Who knows what he is thinking?”
“I agree.” Little Pagoda quickly added, “And it's annoying how complicated he is!”
The mysterious voice didn't know what to say.
Just then, Ye Guan walked to Chen Guanzi and Cao Bai. He smiled and greeted, “First Senior Brother!”
Chen Guanzi nodded but did not say anything. He turned and left.
Ye Guan was surprised by his behavior, but Cao Bai smiled and explained, “First Senior Brother has always been like that; he is not fond of talking, but he has been talking a lot recently because of you!”
Ye Guan said, “First Senior Brother is awesome!”
Cao Bai nodded. “Yes! When we entered the Sword Sect, he guided us all along. To us disciples of the Sword Sect, he is the one we respect the most.”
A thought jumped into his mind, and he suddenly said, “Junior Brother Ye, Representative Ye has sent someone for you. She's waiting for you here.”
Ye Guan was surprised, and he asked, “Representative Ye? Ye Guanzhi?”
Cao Bai nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Guan hurriedly asked, “Where is she?”
Cao Bai said, “In the guest house.”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “Senior Brother, please lead me there.”
Senior Brother! Cao Bai laughed and said, “Let’s go!”
The two of them hopped onto a sword and vanished into the sky.
In the guest hall, Ye Guan saw an old lady there. She stood up and immediately said, “Young Lord Ye, I am Guanzhi’s helper. I am here under her orders. She wants to meet you.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Alright!”
He also wanted to see Ye Guanzhi.
However, Cao Bai suddenly said, “No way!”
Ye Guan and Madame Li looked at Cao Bai, and Cao Bai said, “It's not appropriate at the moment.”
Madame Li frowned and asked, “Why?”
Ye Guan was surprised too, and Cao Bai explained, “This is a special time. If you leave the Sword Sect now, we…”
Ye Guan asked, “Is someone watching me?”
Cao Bai nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Guan frowned.
Madame Li’s expression also turned cold. She asked, “What do they want?”
Cao Bai shook his head. “Regardless, Junior Brother Ye is safest if he remains in the Sword Sect.”
Ye Guan thought about it before he smiled and said, “Senior Brother Cao, don’t worry! They will not do anything to me now, and they have no reason to do so unless the Chosen One is not confident of beating me at all.”
Cao Bai pondered for a while and decided that Ye Guan was right. He nodded and said, “I will accompany you to the South Garden.”
Ye Guan smiled and assured, “No need for that, don’t worry. If I truly meet any danger, I can protect myself.”
After a while, Cao Bai nodded and said, “Be careful.”
Ye Guan turned towards Madame Li and said, “Senior, let’s go!”
Madame Li nodded, and the two turned around and left.
They headed straight to South Garden immediately after they left the Sword Sect.
Inside the pagoda, Little Pagoda suddenly said, “The auras that are watching him are too strong. It is not normal!”
The mysterious voice said, “I don’t sense any bad intentions from them, and they don’t seem to be watching him. They are probably trying to protect him!”
Little Pagoda’s voice deepened, and he said, “Have they discovered his identity? That can't be! I hid it well!”
The mysterious voice asked, “Are you sure you hid it well?”
Little Pagoda said, “I think I did, but what do you think?”
The mysterious voice was at a loss for words.
Beside Ye Guan, Madame Li surveyed Ye Guan and sighed to herself. She had to admit that the young man was not just talented; he also had an excellent character and an incredible disposition.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Senior, how is Lady Guanzhi in South Garden?”
Madame Li shook her head and sighed, “She's still under house arrest.”
Ye Guan suddenly turned to Madame Li.
Madame Li turned to look at Ye Guan as well.
Ye Guan asked, “Madame Li, where is the Committee?”
Madame Li was stunned. “What do you want to do?”
Ye Guan said, “I want to make an Imperial Appeal!”
An Imperial Appeal!
Madame Li stared at Ye Guan silently.
Ye Guan calmly said, “If no one wants to seek justice for Lady Guanzhi, I will do it myself.”
Madame Li looked at Ye Guan with a complicated expression. She sighed to herself and muttered, “My lady... he is a good man indeed.”
