Chapter 366: Boundless Club
Great Daoist Brush Master!
Ye Guan remained silent. He had crossed paths with the Great Daoist Brush Master a few times, and he had a good impression of the latter. He didn't come at Ye Guan with the ferocity of Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao or the Eternal Sovereign.
In fact, he seemed pretty easygoing.
Of course, such people are often the most terrifying.
After contemplating for a while, Ye Guan said, "I can't evaluate him right now."
Mu Niannian looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you talking about the Great Daoist Brush Master?"
Ye Guan nodded and said seriously, "The Great Dao he advocates is bad for all living beings but beneficial to the vast expanse. If all living beings continue to take without restraint, the universe will sooner or later not be able to bear it. In the end, if the vast expanse is destroyed, all living beings will die along with it.
"However, I would resist him as well. After all, it involves my own vested interests."
Mu Niannian nodded with a smile and pointed out. "You haven't answered my question. If you were to become the new king of an era, what would you do?"
Ye Guan thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know."
He was the king of the Guanxuan Universe, but Nalan Jia and Li Banzhi were the defacto leaders of the Guanxuan Universe. He had no idea how to manage an entire universe, so he had never really considered what kind of path he would take if he were to become the king of the vast expanse.
Of course, he agreed with Mu Niannian's words that it was about time he started thinking about it.
Mu Niannian smiled and said, "It's okay; there's no rush."
"Aunt Mu, aren't you the Chief of the Guanxuan Academy's Heavenly Dao?"
"Yes, I am." Mu Niannian nodded, "Why did you ask? Do you want to know what I think of the Great Daoist Brush Master's methods?"
Ye Guan nodded and said, "Yes."
Mu Niannian looked up at the starry sky and chuckled. "I want order and rules. With order and roles, the vast expanse can develop in a sustainable way, and everyone's lifespan will eventually become even longer in time."
Ye Guan stared deeply at Mu Niannian, but he remained silent. He understood what she was saying. She supported the Great Daoist Brush Master's actions, and it made sense, as without the Great Daoist Brush Master, the vast expanse would have been on its last legs long ago.
"The Great Daoist Brush Master's order is still around. The True God had decided to use his system, and the Guanxuan Universe followed suit," Mu Niannian said.
"Yes, I noticed that." Ye Guan nodded.
Mu Niannian made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and asked, "What do you think of the True God?"
Ye Guan shook his head, "I am not familiar enough with her to respond to that."
Mu Niannian smiled. "Fair enough."
Just then, Erya suddenly said, "Little Guan, have you ever been to the Milky Way?"
Ye Guan shook his head and replied, "No."
"Next time, come with us," said Erya, "I'll treat you to that wine from Year 82!"
Ye Guan was puzzled. Year 82?
"And there is an abundance of girls dancing in revealing outfits there. They're pretty good dancers, too," Erya added.
Little White nodded vigorously and even waved her tiny claws.
Mu Niannian shook her head with a smile. These two troublemakers truly loved the Milky Way.
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "Revealing outfits?"
Erya nodded, "I think the Milky Way is a good place to train. I'll bring you to those places, so you just have to come with us to the Milky Way."
Ye Guan looked confused. "Those places?"
Erya smirked, but she didn't say anything in response.
Ye Guan was speechless. Those places? Could it be... He made a sidelong glance at Erya, suspecting that An Nanjing had forbidden her from going there. She was most likely persuading him to go, hoping that she could go with him.
The Milky Way!
Ye Guan was looking forward to his journey there, as it was the hometown of his mother, aunt, and his father. Strictly speaking, he was also from the Milky Way.
Sensing that Ye Guan was intrigued, Erya seized the opportunity and said, "You'll become much more powerful if you train at the Milky Way."
Ye Guan looked at Erya and asked, "How so?"
Erya earnestly said, "The Milky Way is a world of temptations, and it is easy to temper your heart there. With your talent, your sword cultivation realm will definitely improve by leaps and bounds if you head there.
"The Great Daoist Brush Master used to be at the Milky Way. Little White and I even know where he lived. He once lived in Qianzhou, and it's a place with an abundance of treasures!"
Erya glanced at Little White and signaled at her with her eyes.
Little White shook her head innocently, indicating that Erya was lying. However, she immediately realized her mistake and nodded.
Erya rolled her eyes in frustration.
Ye Guan stared deeply at Erya and Little White. These two troublemakers were definitely up to something! Ye Guan suddenly turned to Mu Niannian upon recalling something.
"Aunt Mu, have you ever been to the Milky Way?" he asked.
Mu Niannian shook her head and replied, "No, but I might go there soon. I heard it's a fun place."
"I guess I'll go there too once there's a chance to do so." Ye Guan laughed.
"Remember to bring us along. We'll take you to the Boundless Club!" Erya chimed in.
Boundless Club? Ye Guan looked at Erya, puzzled.
Erya eagerly said, "Bring us along, and you'll have a lot of fun. Otherwise..."
She clenched her hands, making her intentions quite clear.
Little White also waved her tiny claws.
Ye Guan chuckled and said, "Sure, we'll go together when the time comes!"
"That's my grandson!" Erya exclaimed with a grin.
Ye Guan almost keeled over upon hearing that.
Mu Niannian's shoulders started quivering, but no sound could be heard from her. Clearly, she was desperately suppressing her laughter upon seeing Ye Guan's face which looked as dark as the bottom of a kettle.
Before long, the three arrived at a silent starry region. Mu Niannian gazed into the distance. There was a magnificent-looking ancient gate that spanned a few kilometers across the starry sky.
Ye Guan asked, "Is that it?"
Mu Niannian nodded.
The trio approached the gate, finding a corpse lying in front of it.
Mu Niannian briefly examined the corpse and said, "Probably a gatekeeper who got taken out."
Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, "Didn't they say that the Eternal Sovereign is here?"
"Yes, he's here." Mu Niannian said with a smile, "Scared?"
Ye Guan laughed heartily and replied, "I'm not even scared of my aunt, so why would I be scared of him?"
Mu Niannian blinked and said, "Since you're not scared, then I'm not scared. When the time comes, you can have a one-on-one with the Eternal Sovereign. Erya, Little White, and I will cheer for you. What do you think? You're not afraid, right?"
Ye Guan's expression froze. Does she really want me to challenge the Eternal Sovereign by himself when I'm still too weak? Yes, I'm not scared of him, but it doesn't mean that I can defeat him!
Mu Niannian chuckled at Ye Guan's dark expression and said, "Let's go!"
She led Erya and Ye Guan into the massive gate.
...
Moments later, the trio appeared in the middle of a sea.
Ye Guan looked around and found that the sea seemed endless. He saw a tiny dot in the distance and squinted his eyes—it was an island, and there was a sword floating above it.
"You're looking at the Supreme Sword Sect," Mu Niannian said."
Ye Guan nodded.
Just then, Little White suddenly waved her tiny claws.
Ye Guan looked at Little White in puzzlement.
Rumble!
Ye Guan had yet to even start deducing what she was doing when the sea around them abruptly boiled over, and a golden light emerged from the depths. The golden light turned into a beam of light that landed gently in front of Little White.
The golden light dispersed, and a golden ring appeared.
The ring was emitting a mysterious light; clearly, it was an extraordinary item.
Little White inspected the golden ring and pointed at it with her tiny claw. The golden ring vibrated violently and burst into a column of golden light that took to the sky. The golden ring then expanded and reached several hundred thousand times its original size to seemingly tower over everything!
Ye Guan felt an extremely oppressive force boring down on him, and he felt as though he was being suppressed by a domain. Ye Guan was shocked, and he looked at the golden ring with a solemn gaze. It had to be an unranked divine item.
Little White waved her tiny claws, and the golden ring returned to her. She put it away with a massive grin.
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment and muttered, "Little White, that golden ring..."
Little White pointed at herself with her tiny claw.
Ye Guan looked at Erya.
Erya calmly said, "That ring belongs to her."
Ye Guan fell silent. This is absurd! It hadn't even been that long since they arrived here, but Little White had already gotten herself an unranked divine item!
Little White's ability to seek treasures had also caught Ye Guan by surprise, and he was stupefied to see more and more divine items jumping out of the sea to land in front of her.
T-this is incredible! Ye Guan was in awe.
Mu Niannian chuckled and said, "Let's go!"
Ye Guan stared deeply at Little White. He had to find a way to borrow some of her divine items, especially that ancient copper shield. Soon, they arrived in front of the island in the distance earlier.
The island housed a huge mountain with hundreds of palaces on its summit.
Every palace had a sword floating above it.
Supreme Sword Sect!
Ye Guan's expression became a bit solemn. He could feel a terrifying sword intent on the island before him. The sword intent was an amalgamation of the sword intents of the ancient swords in front of him.
Their masters had been too powerful, so the sword intent of their masters had managed to withstand the passage of time to remain effective even after millions of years.
"The Supreme Sword Sect is quite extraordinary," Mu Niannian said.
Ye Guan nodded. "Indeed."
"Let's go inside," Mu Niannian said with a smile. The three walked up the green stone steps in front of them, and they soon found themselves heading toward a grand hall.
The Supreme Sword Sect was huge, and the green stone steps were a few hundred meters tall. Each step was several meters wide, and there were ancient statues on both sides of each step, standing like guards. Every ancient statue had a sword on its back.
Ye Guan took his time looking around.
The entire Supreme Sword Sect was magnificent, but it was desolate.
Soon, the trio arrived in front of the grand hall. The doors of the grand hall were tightly closed, and he was about to open the doors when he suddenly stopped. He turned toward Mu Niannian, obviously asking for her opinion.
Mu Niannian smiled and remained silent.
Ye Guan's face turned serious; there might be danger ahead.
Just then, a bellow echoed from the great hall, "Get lost!"
Buzz!
A terrifying sword intent swept toward the trio.
Ye Guan was astonished. Mu Niannian waved her sleeve, and a sword intent shot out to hit the oncoming sword intent.
"Hmm?" the voice from the great hall sounded surprised, "A swordsman?"
"We've heard that the swordsmanship of the Supreme Sword Sect was the peak swordsmanship during the Divine Dao Civilization's era. I've brought my junior here with me, and he's here to ask you for pointers. We want to see whether what we've heard was a mere rumor or not," Mu Niannian said with a smile.
Ye Guan stared in confusion at Mu Niannian.
Mu Niannian blinked and said, "Go and act arrogant."
Ye Guan hesitated, but he quickly made up his mind and turned to the great hall.
"I'm invincible! And I'm here to prove that once again! Come at me!" he roared.
