I Have A Sword

Chapter 623: Come Out And Fight

Chapter 623: Come Out And Fight

Because Xuan Yin's reaction seemed genuine, Ye Guan reluctantly put away the Ancestral Origins. He naturally wouldn't refuse Xuan Yin's goodwill, but he also wouldn't place too much importance on it. He knew very well that the other party was being friendly because he was powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been treated so nicely. It might have even been impossible for him to speak to her.

This was no different in the secular world, where a poor person visiting their relatives would always be looked down upon no matter what gift they brought. On the other hand, if a wealthy person visited relatives, their relatives would still be delighted even if they came empty-handed.

This world was similar to the secular one in that regard. The weaker one was, the more realistic they had to be. That being said, it was great that they could be so cordial now.

Xuan Yin smiled upon seeing Ye Guan put away the Ancestral Origin strands.

"Young Master Ye, if you need anything, feel free to contact me at any time," she said.

Ye Guan nodded, "Okay."

Still smiling, Xuan Yin turned and left.

Once she was gone, Ye Guan looked up at the sky. He opened his palm, and a Sword Intent appeared in his hand. The next moment, he transformed into a sword light and soared into the air to continue cultivating.

Using the power of the seal to hone himself had yielded significant results. With his current strength several times stronger than before, he could now easily kill a Heavenly Emperor despite still being an Imperial Sovereign himself. He could even do it while withstanding the pressure of the First God's seal. Without the seal's interference, he'd absolutely annihilate a Heavenly Emperor.

However, since he hadn't fought an Ancient Sovereign yet, he still wasn't sure how he'd fare against them.

His goal now was simple: to continuously refine his swordsmanship and Sword Intent, especially his Invincible Sword Intent, by going against the power of the seal. Since his Invincible Sword Intent had transformed, he could continue strengthening it. He also wanted to see how far his Invincible Sword Intent could advance.

Ye An, Ao Qianqian, and Mu Yuan had been advancing rapidly as well. Ye An, in particular, had terrifying talent. She had already even reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and was now preparing to break through to the Ancient Sovereign Realm!

Ao Qianqian had also been progressing quite quickly, having also reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Ye Guan felt somewhat ashamed.

However, if he were to focus solely on advancing his realm, reaching the Heavenly Sovereign realm wouldn't be difficult for him. After all, he now had Ancestral Veins and an ample supply of Ancestral Origins. Moreover, the cultivation techniques he practiced were among the best in the world. However, his goal was to strengthen his Sword Dao and Sword Intent, not reach higher realms.

He had once neglected the advancement of his Sword Dao and Sword Intent because he was too focused on pursuing greater realms, causing both areas to stagnate.

Now, he intended to hone his Sword Dao and Sword Intent to the extreme!

Hence, amidst the mountains, Ye Guan soared into the sky time and time again...

Training in this place was akin to training under heavy loads. Ye Guan's Sword Dao and Sword Intent advanced rapidly, especially his Invincible Sword Intent. The Sword Intent he casually condensed now possessed the power to destroy a part of the world.

As a result, although his realm was not as high as Ye An's, in a real fight, Ye An would not have the advantage against him.

...

Outside First God Paradise.

After receiving information from Mo Qiao and the others, Mo Tiandu and his companions breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Clan Master of the Wu Clan was willing to help, things would become much simpler.

"I want to personally visit the Time River," Chen Yu said.

Mo Tiandu turned to Chen Yu, who added, "I want to see how formidable the forces behind this Ye Guan really are."

Mo Tiandu's brows furrowed slightly. "Is that really necessary?"

Chen Yu's gaze turned cold. "I refuse to let my people's death be in vain."

Mo Tiandu was about to speak when Qin Yuan suddenly interjected, "Although the Clan Master of the Wu Clan has agreed to help, there's no guarantee that they'll capture Ye Guan. It's certainly better for you to visit the Time River, Brother Chen. If you can capture someone from Ye Guan's clan, then Ye Guan will have no choice but to surrender."

After a moment of silence, Mo Tiandu said, "Brother Chen, I agree that it would be best for you to personally investigate Ye Guan's family. However, we have to be very careful. You should bring strong individuals with you."

Chen Yu nodded. "Don't forget to inform me of any developments on your end."

Mo Tiandu smiled. "You can rest assured about that. We won't act alone."

Chen Yu nodded again before leading the Chen Clan's strong cultivators away.

On the other side, the Left and Right Bishops of the Divine Academy also paid attention to the First God Paradise. The Divine Academy was the only force that the four major clans had allowed to come here.

The Left Bishop's looked torn. "I never expected that Ye Guan would actually get the inheritance of the First God..."

The Divine Academy revered the First God.

The Right Bishop glanced at Mo Tiandu and the others in the distance, then shook his head. "The four major clans probably won't give up easily..."

When the Left Bishop hesitated to reply, the Right Bishop glanced over. "Are you also hoping to get a piece of the pie?"

The Left Bishop nodded.

The Right Bishop shook his head.

"Foolish," he said, puzzling the Left Bishop.

He then turned to the First God Paradise. "Do you really think the First God would choose someone ordinary? Everyone sees the benefits, but they fail to see the risks. No, it would be more accurate to say that they subconsciously ignore them. The temptation of the First God's inheritance is simply too great and overwhelming."

"So we're not getting involved in this?" the Left Bishop asked.

"No."

The Left Bishop sighed bitterly.

"Let's go," the Right Bishop said. He then turned.

However, instead of following him, the Left Bishop stood his ground. In response, the Right Bishop just sighed softly and left quietly.

...

In the Time River.

Accompanied by ten Chen Clan cultivators who were at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, Chen Yu led the way.

After entering the Time River, Chen Yu lightly stomped with his right foot. "Show yourself, Lord of Time."

Boom!

The Time River around them instantly roiled. Not far from Chen Yu and the others, the Lord of Time appeared.

Chen Yu stared at the Lord of Time. "Do you know Ye Guan?"

The Lord of Time paused for a moment, then replied, "I do."

"Where is his family?"

"In the Dark Emperor World."

"Lead the way."

After a moment's hesitation, the Lord of Time asked, "May I inquire about the purpose of your visit to the Dark Emperor World?"

Chen Yu gave the Lord of Time a glance. "No, you may not."

Instead of insisting, he simply guided Chen Yu's group to the Dark Emperor World in silence. Although he was curious, he didn't dare ask too much due to how powerful Chen Yu was.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination. As soon as they entered, Qin Guan appeared before them.

The Lord of Time quickly bowed. "Greetings, Lady Qin."

Qin Guan nodded. "Who are these people?"

"They said they wanted to meet the family members of Young Master Ye..."

Qin Guan looked at Chen Yu, who was leading the group. "Hmm?"

Chen Yu met her gaze. "And you are?"

Qin Guan smiled. "I am Ye Guan's biological mother."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly. "That's good to know."

He immediately extended his right arm forward and sent a terrifying force surging toward Qin Guan.

The Lord of Time immediately turned pale and almost collapsed to the ground.

Damn it! These guys are here to fight!

A mysterious power blocked Chen Yu's attack, preventing it from advancing.

Chen Yu's brows furrowed. "You're quite skilled..."

As he was about to strike again, a long spear pierced through the air from afar.

Swish! Chen Yu's expression changed slightly as he threw a punch.

Boom!

The spear had pushed him back nearly a thousand meters!

When he finally managed to stop, he looked up and saw a woman standing beside Qin Guan, holding a long spear.

Countless powerful auras suddenly rose around them as well. Within the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of cultivators had surrounded them. Chen Yu was stunned.

Most of these cultivators had reached the Imperial Sovereign Realm. More surprisingly, quite a few had broken into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Countless more cultivators rushed over.

Now that Qin Guan had unified the Time River, almost all the top cultivators had started serving the Yang family. They had no other choice. Her offer was simply too good to pass on.

The Time River was not like the Old Era. The scarcity of Ancestral Origin strands in this place limited the lifespan of even the strong, which in turn made the Ancestral Origin strands controlled by Qin Guan exceptionally precious. That was why all the old elite-level experts were willing to join the Guanxuan Academy and serve Qin Guan.

The presence of so many powerful beings petrified Chen Yu and the others. They couldn't understand how Ye Guan's family could be so terrifying...

Qin Guan chuckled lightly. "I heard you're planning to gang up on my son?"

The spies of the Guanxuan Academy, who had long since assimilated themselves with the people from the Old Era, had been keeping her updated.

Chen Yu glanced at the people behind Qin Guan and chuckled lightly. "Do you think you're impressive just because you have the superiority in numbers?"

He opened his hand, revealing a token. "Do you know what this is?"

"Threats don't work on us. If you have any trump cards, feel free to use them."

After staring at Qin Guan for a moment, Chen Yu activated the token.

Boom!

A divine beam shot up from the token. Within the light, a phantom then slowly appeared. A terrifying aura enveloped the area and weighed everyone down with pressure as heavy as countless mountains.

Shocked, the expressions of the strong cultivators on Qin Guan's side turned extremely solemn. Traces of fear showed in their eyes.

The Shadow of the God then condensed into a middle-aged man wearing a divine robe. He looked down at everyone below.

The divine being turned to Chen Yu, his expression filled with indifference. "A group of ants, and you need me?"

Chen Yu bowed, not daring to speak.

Qin Guan smiled. Just as she was about to speak, An Nanjing said, "Let me handle this."

Qin Guan glanced at her. "You want to fight?"

An Nanjing shook her head, which puzzled Qin Guan.

"I want to call someone," An Nanjing answered. She then looked up. "Come out and fight."

Swoosh!

A ray of sword light descended from the sky. A man wearing a green robe slowly walked out from within it.
