Chapter 797: Aunt, Lend Me Your Sword

Upon hearing Taia Nan's words, Ye Guan shook his head with a smile, feeling a little speechless. However, upon reflection, it made sense. He claimed to come from a Tier One civilization, and his cultivation base was low, so it was natural for others to see him as an easy target.

"Young Lord Ye, I originally intended to bring you back to the Asura Civilization, but I just received news from the clan leader that something big is about to happen back home, so I can't take you back. We also have to rush back home," Taia Nan said.

Ye Guan asked, "The Xuan Clan and the Asura Clan?"

Taia Nan said, "Yes."

Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, "Then, you guys should head back first."

Taia Nan pondered for a moment before saying, "We can escort you to the Bi'an World first. The Guyan Civilization will not be able to reach you there."

"The Bi'an World?"

"It is a special place; it is the home of an unparalleled expert who doesn't belong to any civilization. Young Master Ye, you should stay there for the meantime."

"Sure," Ye Guan agreed after thinking about it for a while. What he needed now was some time.

Taia Nan said, "Young Master Ye, please follow me."

Then, he turned and shattered the spacetime in front of him before disappearing into the distance. Ye Guan transformed into a sword light and vanished into the depths of the star field.

Inside the ruins of the Arcanist Civilization down below, a mysterious figure looked away from Ye Guan and frowned.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from a blood-red coffin. "He's not simple at all. Are you sure you want Old Jiu to go after him?"

The mysterious person chuckled. "It is precisely because he's extraordinary that I asked Old Jiu to follow him."

"That sword back then is no ordinary item."

"Do you think he comes from another Tier Four civilization?"

The mysterious voice didn't reply.

The mysterious figure shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Absolutely impossible."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's all because of his cultivation base. If he was truly from a Tier Four civilization, he would've been much stronger than he is right now. Clearly, the civilization he belongs to has not yet achieved the ability to pass on their Dao techniques. They can only cultivate step by step...

"Even if he does come from a Tier Four civilization, wouldn't that be even better? He would make a perfect dowry for our Arcanist Civilization."

The voice replied, "Back then, we were destroyed because we underestimated the Tianxing Civilization..."

The smile on the mysterious person's face vanished. "All these years, I have been studying the patterns of the Tianxing Civilisation's destruction. This star field was already destroyed by them once, so they will not search this area again... At least for the next ten billion years, they will not revisit this place.

"Ten billion years is more than enough for our Arcanist Civilization. As long as the Tianxing Civilization does not intervene, we will be able to become invincible."

The Tianxing Civilization—the most powerful known civilization throughout the vast expanse.

Back when the Arcanist Civilization was at its peak, they thought they could rival the Tianxing Civilization. However, they were obliterated by a single Tianxing Flame. Just a single lick of flame!

The entire Arcanist Civilization was utterly helpless in the face of that single Tianxing Flame. If he hadn't led some members of his civilization to escape swiftly, the entire civilization would have been completely eradicated.

Over the years, he had been hiding with nine blood-red coffins and countless stone statues, all while using supreme Arcanist techniques to deduce the patterns of the Tianxing Civilisation's destruction.

Finally, he discovered that the Tianxing Civilization wouldn't revisit a starry region with a civilization they had already destroyed. They wouldn't visit that civilization until at least ten billion years later.

As long as the Tianxing Civilization was absent, there was no other civilization in their corner of the universe that could pose a threat to them. Even if the young swordsman were truly from an unknown Tier Four civilization, he wasn't afraid of the former.

The Arcanist Civilization was not just any ordinary Tier Four civilization as well; they were reputed to be on the verge of becoming a Tier Five civilization. Moreover, the Arcanist Civilization had destroyed two other Tier Four civilizations during their glory days. In his eyes, the Arcanist Civilization was second only to the Tianxing Civilization!

A mysterious voice from the coffin asked, "How much longer do we need?"

The mysterious person replied, "The plan has been laid out. It's almost time."

Then, he turned and left, leaving the silent expanse of space to descend into an eerie silence.

Under Taia Nan's lead, Ye Guan soon arrived at an unfamiliar stretch of starry sky. Several thousand feet ahead lay a river of stars, where the sky had a dark silvery hue to it, exuding a strange aura.

Ye Guan looked at the starry river and frowned. "What's this?"

Taia Nan said in a deep voice, "That's Bi'an River. It's said to be made from the tears of a peerless master from a long time ago..."

"Tears?" Ye Guan asked, taken aback. "Senior, are you sure?"

Taia Nan chuckled awkwardly. "I'm not entirely certain. I only know that this place is very special. Over the years, while our Asura Civilization has conquered many other civilizations, we've never had any thoughts of conquering this place."

"Why not?"

"Because we've been beaten before. Back then, our Asura Civilization visited this place. The strongest warrior of our civilization fought against someone here... and lost. Since then, our civilization has completely abandoned any thought of conquering this place. This isn't a civilization per se; it's just home to that one peerless master who has no intentions of being conquered. Thus, both our Asura Civilization and the Junlin Civilization decided to coexist peacefully in this place instead."

Ye Guan was about to say something when a small boat suddenly appeared on the Bi'an River in the distance. An elderly woman with white hair was rowing the boat.

Taia Nan explained, "To enter Bi'an City, you must take this boat. Otherwise, you cannot enter the city."

Ye Guan looked up and saw that there were on visible barriers in this part of the starry sky.

Taia Nan laughed and said, "The person on that boat is the guardian of this place. She is as strong as someone who has opened a unique path."

Ye Guan was surprised. He gazed at the elderly woman, who looked frail and gentle, not at all like a powerful cultivator. He had misjudged her!

His expression gradually grew serious. The outside world was truly dangerous, filled with countless unknown entities. Someday, he hoped to explore the ruins with his aunt and his grandfather and experience the thrill of speedrunning through ancient sites. The thought brought a smile to his face. He was genuinely looking forward to it.

At that moment, the boat slowly arrived in front of Ye Guan and the rest.

Taia Nan opened his palm, and a ring floated toward the elderly woman. Ye Guan glanced at it and saw that the ring contained two strands of Ancestral Veins.

The elderly woman accepted the ring without a word.

Taia Nan turned to Ye Guan and said, "Young Lord Ye, this is as far as we can take you."

Ye Guan took out a storage ring and was about to give it to Taia Nan, but Taia Nan smiled and said, "No need for that. Farewell, Young Lord Ye."

With that, he and his group turned and disappeared into the starry sky.

Ye Guan put away the storage ring and shook his head with a smile. He realized he owed Taia Nan many favors this time.

He retracted his thoughts and boarded the boat. The elderly woman silently rowed the boat into the distance.

Along the way, the elderly woman did not speak, merely rowing quietly.

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, is it true that the Bi'an River is made from the tears of that peerless master?"

The elderly woman looked at him and said, "If you say another word, I'll throw you into the river."

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, Yi Nian appeared beside him, making him even more speechless, as Yi Nian could indeed leave and enter the tiny pagoda freely. She did not need his permission at all, and neither did she need Little Pagoda's permission.

Little Pagoda was equally speechless as well. The two of them had no idea how she was doing it. When they asked her about it, she had responded with a dismissive remark, like, "Isn't it easy?"

Anyway, Ye Guan had long gotten used to her strange antics and had been thinking of them as Yi Nian-esque antics.

Yi Nian walked up to him and extended a hand toward him with a sweet smile.

Ye Guan smiled back at her and handed her a stick of candied hawthorn. Yi Nian's smile widened as she accepted it. Then, she opened her palm, and a chicken appeared.

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can't roast chicken right now."

"Why not?" Yi Nian asked.

Ye Guan glanced sideways at the elderly woman and said, "We're on someone else's boat."

Yi Nian also turned to look at the elderly woman, who was already looking at her.

Yi Nian licked her candied hawthorn and asked, "We can't roast chicken on someone else's boat?"

The elderly woman stared at Yi Nian without a word. She couldn't see through the young woman before her!

Yi Nian was also staring at the elderly woman, showing a bit of defiance.

Seeing the little girl standing up to her, the elderly woman smiled sinisterly and said, "Interesting. What If I don't allow you to roast chicken on my boat?"

Yi Nian stared at the elderly woman without a word, but within Ye Guan's body, the sealed Tianxing Flame began to tremble slightly.

Ye Guan grabbed Yi Nian's hand. Yi Nian turned to look at him, and Ye Guan smiled, saying, "This is someone else's boat; if they don't allow us to do something, we shouldn't do it. We must respect others, understand?"

Yi Nian thought about it for a few moments before she nodded.

Ye Guan ruffled her hair and said, "Once we get ashore, I'll roast two, no, three chickens for you."

Yi Nian's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly, causing Ye Guan to laugh heartily.

Seeing the two of them backing down, the elderly woman had a look of disdain on her face.

Very quickly, the boat reached the shore. Ye Guan held Yi Nian's hand and stepped off the boat. Just then, the elderly woman snapped, "Darned young people."

Ye Guan turned to look at her. The elderly woman glanced at Yi Nian and said, "Bringing such an ill-mannered little brat out is asking for her to get beaten to death, you know that?'

Ye Guan vanished from his spot, and a flash of sword light appeared.

Bam!

The elderly woman was knocked back dozens of feet.

Rumble!

A red glow erupted from within Ye Guan, and his figure was instantly covered in blood. He stared at the elderly woman with his eyes bloodshot and snarled, "Old hag, I showed you respect, but you thought my display of respect was an expression of fear instead?!"

Ye Guan stretched his hand out into the sky and roared, "Aunt, lend me your sword!"

Swoosh!

A sword came flying straight down from the sky.

It was the Path Sword!

However, the sword did not land in Ye Guan's hands. It went straight toward the elderly woman's head and pierced it, immobilizing her.

"Huh?" An aged voice echoed from Bi'an City.

The next moment, the Path Sword flew out again and hovered above Bi'an City.

"Feeling indignant?" A cold voice asked.

"Hahaha. Indignant? " The voice from Bi'an City chuckled and said, "Indeed, I'm feeling indignant!"
