I Have A Sword

Chapter 655: God Clan

Chapter 655: God Clan

Old Zhao's expression fell. "It must be those four Dao Generals."

"Let's chat somewhere else. Do not resist," Ye Guan said.

Before Old Zhao could react, a golden light enveloped him, and a mysterious power teleported him away. He was about to resist, but hearing what Ye Guan said made him hesitantly decide against it.

Very quickly, he was absorbed into the tiny pagoda.

Ye Guan hopped on his sword and disappeared into the vast mountain range.

The tiny pagoda stunned Old Zhao at first. After a while, he began to look solemn. His heart sank.

Time flows differently here!

The difference in the flow of time between this place and the outside world was simply terrifying!

Ten years in the tower was equivalent to just one day in the outside world? What kind of logic was this?

At that moment, Old Zhao realized that he had greatly underestimated the young swordsman. Even the Dao Market did not possess such divine treasures! If the outside world knew about the presence of this divine treasure, everyone would be shaken.

Soon, Ye Guan appeared in front of him.

"Young Master Ye," Old Zhao hurriedly said.

Ye Guan smiled. "You said earlier that you wanted to serve me?"

Old Zhao nodded.

"Just because of the Qi Clan?"

"You could say that," Old Zhao replied.

Ye Guan stared blankly at him. Old Zhao fell silent as well, waiting for Ye Guan to make his decision. He knew that this young man would be able to discern if his words were true or not.

"You're welcome to join the Guanxuan Academy," Ye Guan then said.

Puzzled, Old Zhao asked, "The Guanxuan Academy?"

"Yes."

"I haven't heard of this organization before."

"You'll learn about it soon enough."

If everything had gone according to plan, then his mother should be entering the Old Era with her people soon.

Old Zhao quietly glanced at Ye Guan. He knew that this young man had to be from a hidden major clan. Moreover, from what he could infer, the clan was likely very, very powerful.

"Tell me more about the Dao Market."

Breaking out of his thoughts, Old Zhao replied, "The first master of the Dao Market was known as Gu Yinhe. He comes from a place known as the Milky Way."

"Milky Way?"

Old Zhao nodded. "You know about it?"

"Yes."

The mention of the Milky Way reminded him of two people. He naturally would not forget that there were two women there who were waiting for him. He needed to find some time to go back! To be honest, he quite liked the Milky Way.

Old Zhao continued, "After he established the Dao Market, under his leadership, it gradually grew and became the largest merchant guild in the world. The Dao Market is quite extraordinary. Quite a lot of powerful forces have invested in it, a term our founder coined."

"The term 'invest'?"

"Yes. It's because of this that the Dao Market holds a very special position that no one dares to provoke."

"Tell me about the various major organizations in the world."

Old Zhao looked at Ye Guan, somewhat puzzled. It seemed like Ye Guan did not know much about the major powers in the world, which was unexpected.

Without thinking too much about it, Old Zhao answered, "Among the worlds, the most powerful forces are divided into three factions: the God Clan, the Zhen Clan, and the Ancient Wilderness' Desolate Demon Clan. The First God came from the God Clan."

Ye Guan was momentarily stunned. "The First God is from the God Clan?"

Old Zhao nodded. "Yes. However, for some reason back then, he left the God Clan and went to the Old Era, creating a whole new universe and era... If the God Clan had the First God's assistance back then, they would have undoubtedly become the most powerful organization. Unfortunately, their parties seemed to have had internal conflicts. They never did manage to establish a friendly relationship with each other."

Ye Guan did not expect that the First God came from the God Clan.

Old Zhao continued, "The God Clan has always been powerful. Even now, only the Zhen Clan and the Desolate Demon Clan can contend with them to some extent. The Daoist Temple was a top-tier organization as well when the First God was still around. It even stood on equal grounds with the three factions. He himself was unmatched, too.

"His inheritance is highly coveted because he managed to reach a hundred percent divinity back then. To this day, he's still the only one who has been able to achieve such a feat."

Ye Guan asked, "That means more people are coming to cause trouble for me, doesn't it?"

Old Zhao nodded. "Yes. His inheritance might be able to help someone reach one hundred percent divinity, after all."

Ye Guan fell silent. The cultivators in the Divine Dao Realm made him realize that the more divinity one possessed, the stronger they were. However, his path was of humanity, not divinity. Did that mean that he had to create a whole new cultivation realm for himself?

He could feel a headache coming.

"Young Master Ye, are you worried?" Old Zhao asked.

Ye Guan snapped back to reality. "Worried? Why would I be?"

"Well, you've just learned that powerful people are out to hunt you down."

"Ah. Well, no, not really."

Old Zhao was surprised. He didn't expect such a reply.

Ye Guan then asked, "What about the Temple of the Gods? How do they compare to other forces?"

Old Zhao answered, "They are plagued by internal strife. Hence, their strength can only be considered to be slightly above average. Ever since the First God self-destructed, the Temple of the Gods fell into turmoil, and those self-proclaimed Gods..."

He shook his head with a faint, mocking smile.

Ye Guan chuckled. "You seemed a bit displeased with them proclaiming themselves as Gods."

"I was. When the First God proclaimed himself a God, no one had any objections. After all, he was the only cultivator in the Divine Dao Realm to have achieved one hundred percent divinity. All those so-called Gods do is prop up their chairs within their circle. Outside of it, nobody pays them any mind. Still, I have to admit that Xuanzong is indeed pretty strong."

"The First God's student?"

"Yes, he is one of the two strongest students of the First God..."

Seemingly recalling something, Old Zhao glanced at Ye Guan. Despite being the First God's successor, Ye Guan seemed quite unfamiliar with the Temple of the Gods.

Did this young man just spring out of nowhere?

"Tell me more about the Desolate Demon Clan."

"The Ancient Wilderness is the Sacred Land of all demonic beasts," Old Zhao began.

"Sacred Land?"

"Yes. That place is full of Ancestral Veins and legendary Sacred Springs, which can greatly enhance the bloodline and physique of the demon race. It is precisely because of this that the strength of the Desolate Demon Clan is so terrifying. It's also worth mentioning that the Mountain Sea World was once a part of the Ancient Wilderness too. However, due to unknown reasons, it eventually separated from them."

"That's right," Shen Ye suddenly chimed in. "Our Mountain Sea World used to be part of the Ancient Wilderness, but that was a very long time ago."

"Why did it break away from the Ancient Wilderness, then?" Ye Guan asked.

Shen Ye explained, "Just like there are internal conflicts in the human race, the demon race also had theirs. The internal strife within the Desolate Demon Clan made a demon king from the Mountain Sea World leave with his followers. However, due to the Sacred Springs in the Ancient Wilderness, the development of the Mountain Sea World's demonic beasts could not keep up. Over time, many powerful demonic beasts returned to the Ancient Wilderness, causing the power of the Mountain Sea World to decline..."

Shen Ye then sighed softly. The Mountain Sea World used to be glorious. It was a pity that its resources could not compare to the Ancient Wilderness', which caused its development to slow down and eventually fall far behind.

"Senior, have you ever thought of returning to the Ancient Wilderness?"

Shen Ye smiled but remained silent.

"If Brother Shen Ye wants to return, the Ancient Wilderness will surely welcome him with open arms," Old Zhao commented. "However, they may not necessarily accept the Mountain Sea World itself. After all, the Ancient Wilderness considers them as traitors."

Old Zhao was shocked when he first met Shen Ye. He did not expect that such a powerful demonic beast from the Mountain Sea World would choose to follow Young Master Ye. Even though the strength of the Mountain Sea World was far inferior to that of the Ancient Wilderness, Shen Ye was by no means weak. Even in the Ancient Wilderness, he would still be considered very powerful.

Shen Ye nodded slightly. "The Ancient Wilderness indeed views us in a negative light, but it doesn't matter. As long as we can coexist peacefully, it's fine."

He then looked at Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, you are not in a good situation right now. The temptation of the First God's inheritance is too strong since it can help its owner attain one hundred percent divinity. Many powerful organizations are definitely eyeing them..."

"I understand. However, I am not going to fight them alone," Ye Guan replied.

Old Zhao and Shen Ye looked puzzled.

Ye Guan was about to say something when he suddenly frowned. "So fast!"

Then, he left the tiny pagoda. As soon as he left, four terrifying divine senses locked onto him.
