Chapter 184: As Long As You Are Okay
There was still one month left until the battle between Lu Tian and Ye Guan, but many people had already gathered at the Main Guanxuan Academy. Who would want to miss the upcoming battle that would literally change the world?
Although the Guanxuan Academy hadn’t advertised the battle, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was actively doing so. Of course, they were marketing Lu Tian and trying to increase his popularity, and Lu Tian’s fame soared like a fiery arrow.
Lu Tian was undoubtedly the most famous individual throughout the Guanxuan Universe. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had also been shouting that he was the Chosen One. They purposely linked him to the Sword Master, so many people suspected that Lu Tian was the Sword Master’s son.
It has been thirty million years since the Sword Master truly appeared in the Guanxuan Universe, and anyone would be excited to know that the Sword Master’s son had appeared.
Ye Guan was a Quasi-Great Sword Sovereign, but he was an ant compared to the Chosen One.
The Sword Master was like a supreme god in everyone’s eyes, and it extended to the Chosen One as well. The battle between the Chosen One and Ye Guan was the most anticipated battle in the history of the Guanxuan Universe.
Meanwhile, Academy Chief Song Fu of Nanzhou’s Guanxuan Academy had long arranged for Ye Xiao and the Ye Clan to be brought to the Guanxuan Academy. They knew what was about to happen in the Main Guanxuan Academy, as the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was actively promoting it.
Ye Guan was about to fight the Chosen One, but Song Fu and the others still didn’t hesitate to support Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was a student of Nanzhou’s Guanxuan Academy. If Ye Guan won, Nanzhou’s Guanxuan Academy could brag about it forever.
The entire Nanzhou was rooting for Ye Guan, and Nanzhou’s Guanxuan Academy treated Ye Guan as if he were a deity.
Ye Xiao and Nalan Ming were leisurely strolling down the lakeside of one of the mountains behind Nanzhou’s Guanxuan Academy.
The Nalan Clan’s status in Nanzhou had taken off, and it was all thanks to the clan’s relationship with Ye Guan. The story of what the Nalan Clan had done for Ye Guan had spread around like a legend.
Ye Guan was just a cripple back then, but the Nalan Clan didn’t choose to break off the engagement. The Nalan Clan had become a household name for loyalty and commitment.
Ye Xiao suddenly marveled, “That young man has truly gone a long way...”
Nalan Ming nodded. “I knew that he had a bright future, but I never expected that he would be able to go so far. He has truly surprised everyone.”
Ye Xiao shook his head with a laugh and said, “Indeed.”
Nalan Ming asked, “Elder Ye, just what is Ye Guan’s background?”
Ye Xiao shrugged and replied, “I don’t know either. He was a baby who suddenly appeared at our doorstep one day. I don’t know anything else.”
Nalan Ming remarked, “There’s definitely more than what meets the eye.”
Ye Xiao nodded, and his expression fell. Of course, he knew that Ye Guan would eventually leave the Ye Clan.
Nalan Ming smiled and said, “You shouldn’t worry about it.”
Ye Xiao smiled as well and explained, “I’m fine. If he could go even further by leaving the Ye Clan, I’d be happy to let him leave.”
Nalan Ming nodded and turned to the starry skies.
“Little Jia… she really found the right man,” he remarked.
…
A woman walked briskly down a street somewhere on the Upper Realm.
The woman was none other than Fei Banqing.
After learning about the battle between Ye Guan and the Chosen One, she decisively headed for the Main Guanxuan Academy. It was torture waiting for news in the distant Nanzhou. She wanted to see him, even from afar.
Swoosh!
An old man abruptly appeared in front of her.
Fei Banqing frowned and said, “Profound Sky Clan!”
The old man smiled and said, “Fei Banqing, I’m surprised to see you here on the Upper Realm.”
Fei Banqing silently glared at the old man.
The old man snickered and said, “When Ye Guan defeated An Mu of Qingzhou, the Profound Sky Clan could only stand back and avoid him. Who would have known that he would provoke the Chosen One? His days are obviously numbered.”
Swoosh!
The powerhouses of the Profound Sky Clan descended and surrounded Fei Banqing.
Fei Banqing’s expression darkened.
The old man sneered and mocked, “Fei Banqing, you’ll die here today.”
Swoosh!
An old man wearing a black shirt suddenly appeared in front of Fei Banqing.
Everyone was startled to see the old man.
The Sect Leader of the Profound Sky Clan was just about to speak when the old man wearing a black shirt waved his sleeve.
A gust of wind blew past everyone, and the powerhouses of the Profound Sky Clan were reduced to ashes.
Fei Banqing’s heart leaped up to her throat at the terrifying sight.
The old man wearing a black shirt stared at Fei Banqing and asked, “Are you heading to the Main Guanxuan Academy?”
Fei Banginq nodded. She stared warily at the old man wearing a black shirt before asking, “Who are you?”
The old man replied, “I’m with the Young Master, and I am here to protect you.”
Fei Banqing was startled. “Who is your Young Master?”
Rather than replying, the old man flicked his sleeve.
Rumble!
Spacetime was torn apart, and a spacetime tunnel appeared in front of them.
Fei Banqing’s eyes narrowed. What was that?
The old man explained, “This spacetime tunnel will lead you to the Main Guanxuan Academy. Head in, and you’ll be there.”
Fei Banqing glared at the old man and repeated. “Who is your Young Master?”
The old man went silent and dragged her into the spacetime tunnel.
The two disappeared into the spacetime tunnel.
Meanwhile, the Sect Leader of the Profound Sky Clan was rumored to have abruptly died in peace.
…
Zhang Yuntian and the elders of the Lingxu Blessed Land were gathered in a large hall. Everyone wore grim expressions, as the Lingxu Blessed Land was currently in a tough spot.
The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had blacklisted them, so they couldn’t use the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s services. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had also declared them as enemies and had issued bounties on them.
Their heads now fetched a hefty sum once delivered to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, which was the exact reason the Lingxu Blessed Land isolated themselves from the outside world upon escorting Ye Guan to the Sword Sect.
A bounty from the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was terrifying, as the pavilion was rich and generous.
There was still a month to go until the battle between Ye Guan and Lu Tian.
Their fates would be decided one month later. They would live if Ye Guan won, but if Ye Guan lost, the Lingxu Blessed Land would vanish from the face of the earth. The Lingxu Blessed Land had truly placed its existence on the line.
Zhang Yuntian suddenly laughed, “Everyone, we’ve chosen to support Young Lord Ye, so we will support him until the end.”
“That’s right! And he’s invincible!” shouted the Grand Elder.
The elders soon echoed him. Ye Guan was still far from invincible, but they had to think of him as invincible, or they would find it difficult to handle the mounting pressure.
……
The elders of Time Paradise were gathered in a hall.
Nanli Yin was sitting in the highest seat. Nanli Yin was calm, while the Grand Elder and the Second Elder next to her were beaming with joy.
The elders were speechless as they stared at the three. The three knew that they were like ants on a hot pan due to the stress they were under, yet the three still refused to reveal any details.
Honestly, Nanli Yin was the most anxious among everyone here.
After all, the upcoming battle would determine Time Paradise’s survival.
If Ye Guan lost, they were doomed. Who could withstand the fury of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the Guanxuan Academy? She believed in Ye Guan, she couldn’t help but worry about the matter since it involved the lives of her entire clan.
However, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder weren’t worried in the slightest.
The Grand Elder suddenly laughed and said, “Come on, don’t be so serious. Cheer up, everyone!”
The expressions of the elders darkened. Fuck off!
…..
Chen Guanzi was standing by the entrance of the Sword Sect’s Sword Hall. Cao Bai was standing next to him.
Chen Guanzi was staring quietly at the distant horizon
Cao Bai suddenly asked, “Senior Brother, what do you think about Ye Guan’s chances of winning?”
Chen Guanzi calmly replied, “Winning and losing is normal, but everything has to be fair. Those daring enough to employ dirty tricks on that fateful day will die.”
“Of course!” Cao Bai nodded. He glanced at somewhere with a cold gaze. “I don’t think they’re daring enough to do such a thing.”
Chen Guanzi said, “We can’t be so sure.”
Chen Guanzi’s words froze Cao Bai and rendered him silent.
Meanwhile, it had been twenty-nine days since Ye Guan entered the cultivation ground of the Sword Sect. Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the plains. He could feel the energy of both heaven and earth floating about him.
The energy was known as Heaven and Earth energy. A Heaven Law Realm cultivator was capable of controlling such energy, and Ye Guan had to be able to do the same for him to become a Heaven Law Realm cultivator.
Soon, the Heaven and Earth energy around him thickened.
Ye Guan wasn’t having any difficulties raising his cultivation base. He had the Universe Beholdment Skill, and he had also received the inheritances of the Zhang Clan’s ancestors back at the Lingxu Blessed Land.
The only reason Ye Guan’s physical realm cultivation base was so low was the fact that he wanted to pursue a complete understanding of the next realm before making a breakthrough into it. He didn’t want to make breakthroughs for the sake of it alone.
And that was exactly why his rate of progress was slow but stable.
The stability of Ye Guan’s foundation was unmatched.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Heaven and Earth energy converged on him. The multicolored elements surrounded him, and Ye Guan suddenly clenched his fist.
Crackle!
A lightning bolt appeared in his palm. He flicked his sleeve and sent it flying.
Boom!
Space shattered the moment the lightning bolt exploded like a firework.
Ye Guan slowly stood up.
Rumble!
A powerful aura gushed out of him.
He gestured with his hand, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth vanished. He was now in the Heaven Law Realm.
Ye Guan breathed in deeply and looked around. He smiled in satisfaction before turning around to leave.
Ye Guan was shocked to find a young woman waiting for him in the Sword Sect.
A silver-haired woman dressed in a snow-white long skirt was waiting for him, and she was none other than Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan smiled. “Long time no see!”
Ye Guan walked up to her and muttered, “Lady Ji Xuan…”
Ji Xuan said, “I’m going to the Xuzhen World.”
Surprised, Ye Guan asked, “The Xuzhen World?”
“I am going there with my tutor.” Ji Xuan nodded. She paused for a while before continuing. “Of course, I’m going after your battle with Lu Tian tomorrow.”
Ye Guan was silent.
Ji Xuan suddenly waved her hand in front of his face.
“What are you thinking about?”
Ye Guan stared directly at her and muttered, “Lady Ji Xuan, I’m sorry…”
Ji Xuan looked down. A while later, she looked up at Ye Guan again and grinned. “You idiot, you don’t have to apologize to me. I’m treating you this way because I like you. I’ll be happy if you reciprocate my feelings, but it’s fine even if you can’t reciprocate my feelings. It’s fine as long as you’re okay and doing well.”
Ye Guan lowered his head and went silent.
“I’m going off now,” said Ji Xuan. She turned around and left without looking back.
Her nose soured, and she didn’t dare to look back as a tear dripped down her cheek.
She thought that she could finally face him bravely, but her tears still fell uncontrollably when she was faced with the harsh reality.
