Chapter 520: Swear On My Father's Name

When Ye Guan left the tiny pagoda, he saw the Boundless Master standing in front of him. The Boundless Master looked to the right. Ye Guan followed his gaze and saw a spacetime rift that had been torn apart.

Evidently, the Boundless Master had torn it up.

"Let's go!" said the Boundless Master. He disappeared into thin air, whisking away Ye Guan with him. Soon, they appeared above a seemingly boundless sea that stretched infinitely into the horizon.

Ye Guan asked, "Where are we?"

The Boundless Master shook his head and admitted, "I don't know."

"Where is the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"Someone is holding him back."

"Is it the Clan Leader of the Past Clan?"

The Boundless Master nodded.

Ye Guan fell silent. It seemed like the Great Daoist Brush Master was in trouble.

The Boundless Master said, "He can't help you openly; he can only plan things out for you."

"I see..." Ye Guan muttered, nodding.

The Boundless Master disappeared together with Ye Guan, and they reappeared in the deep sea. They dove for a few kilometers more until they found themselves in the middle of an abyss.

Ye Guan tried to use his divine sense to examine what was within the abyss, but his divine sense was blocked by an invisible force as soon as it neared the abyss. Ye Guan frowned and turned to look at the Boundless Master.

The Boundless Master shook his head. "I don't know what's going on either; he just told me to bring you here."

Ye Guan asked, "Shall we go in together to have a look?"

The Boundless Master shook his head once more. "You'd best check by yourself."

Ye Guan was stunned.

"I still have many things to do," said the Boundless Master in a solemn tone of voice, "Take care."

With that, the Boundless Master turned around and left.

Ye Guan remained frozen in place. What's going on?

The Boundless Master didn't hesitate to leave, rendering Ye Guan speechless.

This underwater abyss must be dangerous! Should I go in right away? There's no way I'm going in right away!

Ye Guan decided to wait until Ye Qingqing had recovered completely. After all, she was recuperating in the tiny pagoda, which meant her wounds would heal quickly because of the time difference.

Ye Guan observed the abyss deeply and found that it stretched for thousands of meters and was completely pitch-black inside. It was extremely terrifying.

Ye Guan tried to probe it again with his divine sense, but a mysterious force blocked his divine sense as soon as it got close enough to the abyss, just like earlier.

Ye Guan frowned and went silent.

Half an hour later, Ye Qingqing appeared next to Ye Guan. She frowned as soon as she clapped her eyes on the underwater abyss.

Ye Guan asked, "Aunt, have you discovered anything?"

"There's a dangerous aura lurking inside," Ye Qingqing replied.

A dangerous aura? Ye Guan's expression changed, feeling somewhat puzzled. It doesn't seem likely that the Great Daoist Brush Master would deceive me,

"Come on, let's go and take a look," Ye Qingqing suggested.

Ye Guan nodded.

The two of them hopped onto their swords and transformed into streaks of light, flying directly into the abyss. The moment they entered the abyss, Ye Guan's expression became solemn as he felt a terrifying pressure churning from the depths.

Ye Qingqing reassured, "Don't worry."

"Okay," Ye Guan said with a nod. The pressure became even stronger the farther they descended, but it had become intermittent for some reason.

Ao Qianqian suddenly warned, "Be careful..."

Ye Guan nodded quietly.

An unknown amount of time later, the two had to slow down as the pressure acting on them had become exceedingly heavy.

Ye Guan's face had become darker, but he continued nonetheless.

A minute later, Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing came to a halt.

An ink-like colossal beast was walking around in circles at the bottom of the abyss.

The colossal beast was a turtle, and it had a carapace that spanned tens of thousands of meters in length and width. Ye Guan didn't even have to deduce to know that its carapace had to be incredibly tough.

However, Ye Guan was slightly puzzled. Is this a pet that the Great Daoist Brush Master had arranged for me?

Just then, a tremor ran across the turtle, and the ocean nearby abruptly boiled. It raised its head slowly and looked at both Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing. Its gaze lingered on Ye Qingqing for a moment before turning to stare at Ye Guan.

The turtle's brows furrowed upon seeing Ye Guan.

Ye Guan bowed slightly and greeted, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Who sent you here?" the turtle asked, "Was it the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"Yes."

"What can I do for you?"

Ye Guan realized it just then—the turtle was the reinforcement that the Great Daoist Brush Master had arranged for him!

"I want you to ensure my safety," Ye Guan said before hurriedly adding, "For a hundred years!"

A hundred years? The turtle frowned. "That's all?"

"Senior, I have some enemies and their strength is not to be underestimated."

The turtle replied indifferently, "Is that so?"

"Yes," Ye Guan said.

The turtle sneered, "Oh? Did the Great Daoist Brush Master not tell you who I am before he sent you here?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No."

The turtle said proudly, "I am the Primordial Turtle Ancestor!"

"Wow!" Ye Guan exclaimed with eyes wide open in disbelief. "Senior, you're the legendary Primordial Turtle Ancestor?"

Ye Qingqing glanced at Ye Guan and used Profound Sound Transmission to ask, "Do you know him?"

"No," Ye Guan replied.

The corners of Ye Qingqing's lips twitched.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor was quite pleased to see the disbelief on Ye Guan's face. "There's no need for me to protect you for a hundred years. Just tell me who your enemies are, and I'll deal with them for you."

Ye Guan nodded and replied, "They've been chasing after me, senior. I think they'll soon arrive here."

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor replied, "That's perfect."

Ye Guan stared at the Primordial Turtle Ancestor with admiration in his eyes. "Senior, you're unparalleled even throughout the Time River's deep history, right?"

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor thought about it for a while before saying, "I wouldn't dare to claim that I'm invincible, but you're right; I hardly have any worthy opponents."

Ye Guan fell silent. What nonsense! You basically just admitted to being invincible!

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor suddenly felt puzzled and said, "I didn't expect that the Great Daoist Brush Master would ask me to help him with something so easy. It's a bit unlike him."

"Why do you say that, Senior?" Ye Guan asked, "Did you owe him a huge favor?"

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor nodded and explained, "I lost a bet to him, so I ended up owing him a favor. He said he'd ask me to help him with something in the future."

Ye Guan remarked, "I see."

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor looked at Ye Qingqing and said, "This girl standing next to you is pretty strong."

Ye Guan smiled slightly. "Yes, and she's my aunt."

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor nodded. "As for you... you're quite weak."

Ye Guan's expression froze. This turtle is terrible at talking to people.

"Where's the Great Daoist Brush Master?" asked the Primordial Turtle Ancestor.

"He's busy at the moment, but he'll come over when he's done," Ye Guan replied.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor was about to say something when a terrifying pressure descended from above.

Ye Guan's eyelid twitched. These guys are seriously really fast!

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor's eyes flashed coldly. "Let's go!"

The sea churned, and towering waves were born instantly, creating an extremely terrifying scene. With the Primordial Turtle Ancestor's help, it only took them a few moments to exit the underwater abyss and reach the surface.

Guzhen and thousands of Time Reversers were waiting for them on the surface. Of course, the supreme elites of the Ancient Clan were there as well along with five Sovereigns.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor was stunned. Clearly, he didn't expect that so many people were chasing after Ye Guan.

"Senior, these are the people who have been chasing after me."

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor was bewildered. "So many people are chasing after you?"

"Yes," Ye Guan said with a nod.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor glanced at Ye Guan without saying a word, and he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He thought that there would only be one or two individuals chasing after Ye Guan, so he was truly surprised to see so many supreme elites.

There was something wrong here.

Ye Guan was silent. At this point, all he could do was trust the Primordial Turtle Ancestor.

Meanwhile, Guzhen and the Time Reversers frowned upon seeing the Primordial Turtle Ancestor. They didn't expect that the legendary Primordial Turtle Ancestor would come up to the surface with Ye Guan. Is he Ye Guan's ally?

Guzhen's expression turned grim.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign suddenly asked, "Primordial Turtle Ancestor, how are you related to Ye Guan?"

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor replied, "Why are you chasing after him?"

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign replied, "He's a supporter of the Virtuous Dao."

A supporter of the Virtuous Dao? The Primordial Turtle Ancestor nodded. He remained calm at the revelation, as he knew that the Great Daoist Brush Master was a supporter of the Virtuous Dao as well. In other words, it wasn't a surprise that Ye Guan was on the same side as the Great Daoist Brush Master.

After a moment of silence, the Primordial Turtle Ancestor looked at Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and said, "Will you give me some face and let this go for once?"

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign shook his head and said, "Primordial Turtle Ancestor, do you know who's backing us up?"

"What did you say?" A fierce light appeared in the Primordial Turtle Ancestor's eyes. "Are you threatening me?"

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign calmly replied, "Primordial Turtle Ancestor, we have no enmity with you. I just want to tell you that the Past Clan stands behind us. In other words, our backer is the Clan Leader of the Past Clan!"

The Clan Leader of the Past Clan! The Primordial Turtle Ancestor's expression changed drastically. Evidently, the Clan Leader of the Past Clan was one of the few people he couldn't defeat!

Ye Guan's face fell at the sight, and he believed that the turtle would make a run for it after hearing the white-robed woman's title. With that in mind, Ye Guan hurriedly said, "Senior, the Clan Leader of the Past Clan isn't that big of a deal. She's evenly matched with the Great Daoist Brush Master!"

The Heavenly Yuan Emperor frowned and asked, "Are you sure about that?"

Ye Guan replied seriously, "In addition to having a complete grasp of the Dao, the Great Daoist Brush Master has transcended it as well, so how could he possibly be weak? He's invincible!"

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor sounded hesitant as he asked, "Really?"

"Ye—" Ye Guan started.

"Ye Guan!" However, the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign interrupted sternly, "How dare you say such words? Where has your conscience gone?!"

"I saw them fight, and it was truly an even match. I can swear on my father's name."

Everyone had no idea what to say at Ye Guan's declaration.
