Chapter 216: The Sword Master Was No More!

Transcendence!

Everyone cast emotional and excited gazes on the Sword Master.

As The Sword Master’s Sword Intent slowly dissipated, his energy became more and more frightening. The immense power placed pressure on the nearby universes.

The Divine Spirits wore grim looks as they stared at the Sword Master.

The Sword Master was going to make a breakthrough?

The Divine Spirits were shocked.

“Impossible!” Ruler An glared at Ye Xuan and pointed out. “He’s not making a breakthrough… he’s simply no longer suppressing himself.”

The Sword Master was no longer suppressing himself.

The Divine Spirits frowned as they looked at Ruler An.

Ruler An clenched her fists with a somber look. “It turns out that he has been suppressing himself all these years.”

“Why would he do that?” asked one of the Divine Spirits.

Ruler An quietly shook her head, making the Divine Spirits feel even more confused.

Ye Xuan's energy grew larger and larger to the point that the nearby universes appeared tiny in comparison to him.

Ye Guan asked, “Father, why did you get rid of your sword intent?”

Ye Xuan smiled. He ruffled Ye Guan’s head and said, “Guanxuan Universe no longer needs to believe in a god. The denizens of the Guanxuan Universe should believe in themselves. It’s the same for you. Remember, you are your own god.”

Ye Guan was silent. He somewhat understood what Ye Xuan was saying.

The Sword Master has been protecting the Guanxuan Universe, and he has become akin to a god to them. However, the Sword Master had become an obstacle to the Guanxuan Universe’s development.

While he was protecting the Guanxuan Universe, he became everyone’s jailer, preventing them from transcending the gods and reaching the Beyond God Realm.

He got rid of the World Sword Aura to tell the Guanxuan Universe that they no longer had to have faith in him. They should start having faith in themselves. Without a god to rely on, anyone can transcend gods and reach the Beyond God Realm.

That’s it! However, I’m sure Father knows that it’s extremely difficult to have faith in oneself and develop without relying on backers, so he must have been unable to ignore the Guanxuan Universe until…

Ye Guan’s train of thought came to a halt. He cast a complicated gaze at Ye Xuan. So he decided to take advantage of me with that thought in mind. My duty is to protect the Guanxuan Universe and lead everyone to the Beyond God Realm.

From today onward, the Sword Master will no longer care about them. They will have to take care of themselves.

Ye Xuan chuckled upon seeing Ye Guan’s weird expression. It seemed that his son had seen through his scheme. As expected of his son, he was indeed a clever young man.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “I’ve been protecting this universe over the past thirty million years. Now, it’s your time to protect and lead them, understand?”

Ye Guan hesitated before asking, “Can you not have another child?”

This is a huge trap! Inherit the family’s assets? That’s nonsense! I can already see a miserable life ahead of me. Goddamn it! I want to become stronger by myself! I don’t want to be tied down. I don’t want to be paranoid about my enemies all the time.

Ye Guan was flustered. Father’s going to hand things over to me, but is it even a burden that I can carry?

Ye Xuan chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry, I took the same path back then. Your grandfather told me that young men should suffer and work harder while they’re young.

“I really thought that he was just spouting nonsense, but his words finally made sense to me when I became a father.”

Ye Guan didn’t know what to say. What the heck is this nonsense? How can a father be like this?

The awe-inspiring image he had of his father crumbled at once.

No way! Ye Guan immediately calmed himself down. He couldn’t allow himself to get fooled like this. Otherwise, the True Universe would definitely crush him.

Ye Guan turned to look at Qin Guan. He pondered for a while before saying, “When I was young, the kids back in Ancient Desolate City always laughed at me for being an orphan… sigh.”

Qin Guan was aware that her son was intentionally tugging at her heartstrings, but she still felt a dull ache in her heart. She grabbed Ye Guan’s hand and said softly, “You do have to walk your own path, and we cannot help you with it.

”However, there will be enough money for you to spend.”

Ye Guan went silent. I guess it’s fine to suffer a bit as long as there’s enough money.

Rumble!

The spacetime next to Ye Xuan split open, and a woman walked out of the rift.

The woman was clad in a pristine white dress, and she was stunning.

The cultivators of the Guanxuan Academy recognized her, and they immediately bowed toward her. She was none other than Empress Qingqiu, after all.

Qingqiu walked up to Ye Xuan and smiled. “Hello, Brother!”

Ye Xuan smiled at Qingqiu and said, “Brat, you actually transcended?”

Qingqiu smiled and pouted. “I told you that I would be in the same realm as you.”

Ye Xuan boisterously laughed.

Qingqiu suddenly turned to look at Ye Guan.

She examined Ye Guan while Ye Guan hurriedly exclaimed, “Greetings, Aunt!”

Qingqiu smiled at Ye Guan and asked, “Why are you cultivating the sword?”

Ye Guan did not hesitate to reply, “To become invincible.”

The Invincible Sword Dao? Curiosity fleeted across Qingqiu’s eyes as she asked, “Do you know what it means to be invincible?”

Ye Guan stared intently at Qingqiu before saying, “Invincibility means that no one can kill me, and those I wish to kill will die.”

Ye Xuan was surprised by Ye Guan’s response.

Qingqiu went silent. She transmitted her voice to Ye Xuan using Profound Sound Transmission.

“Don’t let her do anything in front of him,” she said.

Qingqiu was talking about Qing’er.

Ye Guan had actually chosen to embark on the supreme Sword Dao—the Invincible Sword Dao. They couldn’t let Ye Guan witness Qing’er’s true power. Otherwise, Ye Guan’s Sword Dao might crack.

The Invincible Sword Dao demanded invincibility, so did that mean Ye Guan had to kill Qing'er? It was an absurd idea to even think about. In fact, no one had really dared to think about killing her.

If they were in the same generation, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Ye Guan’s Sword Dao could easily stay on the path to invincibility. However, Plain-Skirt Qing’er was currently at her peak, and Ye Guan couldn’t possibly defeat her.

Ye Guan’s Sword Dao was a supreme and extreme sword dao, so his sword had to be invincible.

But what if Ye Guan met a truly invincible being?

Qingqiu reckoned that Ye Guan would start doubting himself if that were to happen.

Aside from surprise, Ye Xuan also stared at Ye Guan with delight.

It seemed that Ye Guan had inherited his style many years ago. He was also a monstrous talent with great ambitions. Ye Guan was truly his son. A paternity test was unnecessary.

Qingqiu turned to Ye Xuan and asked softly, “Are you really going?”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

He turned to look somewhere and smiled. “Farewells truly are difficult.”

Ye Guan hurriedly said, “Why don’t you stay for a bit longer?”

He still felt like protecting the universe by himself was too much for him to bear.

He simply wanted to be unfettered and become even stronger in his own way.

Ye Xuan smiled at Ye Guan and said, “It seems that I said it too casually.”

Ye Guan’s expression darkened.

“I’ve been holding out for millions of years,” said Ye Xuan. “I’ve gotten a bit tired now. It’s time for me to pass the baton to the younger generation.”

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, “But I’m still really young, Father. The family business and responsibility are too big for me to handle, and I don’t think I’m qualified for them.”

“Well…” Ye Xuan trailed off and winked. “That’s your problem to solve, isn’t it?”

Ye Guan was stunned. Is he human? Why is he so ruthless?

Ye Xuan’s smile faded as he said softly, “Our universe is not as advanced as the True Universe. It will be a tough road, but I believe in you. I believe that one day, you will lead the elites of the Guanxuan Universe against the True Universe.”

Ye Guan was silent.

Ye Xuan boisterously laughed.

He swept his gaze across everyone before saying, “Goodbye.”

With that, he looked up into the starry sky and chuckled. “True God, shall we duke it out once more?”

Rumble!

The starry skies seemed to split open as a horrifying aura enveloped everyone.

Despair. Everyone felt nothing but utter despair in the face of such a terrifying aura.

They felt not even a trace of desire to resist it.

Ye Guan’s expression grew stern. What a horrifying aura! I’ve never felt anything like this. Is this the power of the[1] True God?

The mysterious voice in the tiny pagoda said, “What you’re feeling is just a remnant breeze of her aura that had unintentionally seeped out of her. The True God of the True World is strong enough to destroy the entire Guanxuan Universe by herself.

“In fact, a single sentence from her is enough to kill the cultivators here.”

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted. “A single sentence?”

“Yes,” said the mysterious voice before adding, “She has devoured a hundred thousand universes and has overcome hundreds of thousands of tribulations. Every tribulation lasts for thousands of years, but she has never failed to withstand them.

“She has cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulation Physique, and she even severed Great Daoist Brush Master’s Karma, suppressing him. She even stopped Great Daoist Brush Master’s Brush Aura from approaching the True Universe.”

The mysterious voice paused briefly before continuing. “What’s more horrifying is the fact that she stood against an entire universe’s tribulation by herself, and she even subdued it, which allowed the True Universe to truly shatter the boundary and dominate the other universes.

“This allowed the True Universe to suppress an extremely powerful and horrifying ancient clan in this universe, the Heaven Seizing Clan.”

The mysterious voice added, “The Guanxuan Universe is just one of the many universes that she ended up suppressing.”

Ye Guan asked somberly, “Is she good or bad?”

The mysterious voice said, “She’s undoubtedly evil outside the True Universe, but she’s a great being in the eyes of the True Universe’s denizens. She’s the True God of all Divine Spirits, and the Divine Spirits are willing to sacrifice their lives for her.”

Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”

Ye Xuan turned to look at Ye Guan with a smile. “I will help you fight the most powerful one. You can deal with the rest.”

Ye Guan blinked and asked, “Can you just help me deal with them all?”

“Hahaha.” Ye Xuan laughed and said, “Dream on. Let me tell you this—you should really be happy to meet me. If you were in my shoes, it would have taken you hundreds of years to even know your father’s identity, not to mention meeting him.”

Ye Guan was silent. It seemed that his father and his grandfather didn’t really get along.

Ye Xuan continued. “Your grandfather was stingy with me while he pampered and spoiled my sister generously. I’m better than him. I treat you and your sister the same. Your older sister has grown pretty well, so you better work even harder.”

Ye Guan’s brows furrowed. Older sister? I have an older sister?! Where the heck is she?

Ye Xuan swept his gaze across the starry skies.

He smiled before holding Qingqiu’s hand.

“The Sword Master is no more!” he exclaimed before laughing boisterously with Qingqiu and Qin Guan next to him. He took off into the sky and disappeared into the distant horizon.

The Sword Master was no more…

It was the definitive end of the Sword Master’s era!

1. It seems that there’s only one True God in the True World ?
