I Have A Sword

Chapter 825: You Wont Die In The Next Three Thousand Years

Chapter 825: You Won't Die In The Next Three Thousand Years

An eighty percent chance of dying against her?

Ye Qing blinked. The smart thing to do now would be to change the topic. "Senior, I want to know more about Opening a Unique Path. Is it really that great?"

"Experts who have opened a unique path beyond the Great Dao are far beyond your reach. You have no hope of standing up against them, much less fight them. Those who have opened up a unique path and are capable of suppressing their divinity using their humanity are even more terrifying, such as the Clan Leader of the Past Clan."

Ye Qing said in a heavy voice, "I guess I really still have a lot of work to do."

"Are you striving to become stronger in the hopes that you'll catch up to him?"

"I hope that one day I can stand beside Brother Ye Guan and tell him that I've become stronger. I know it'll be difficult, but I'll give it my best!" Ye Qing exclaimed with a light of determination in his eyes.

The Great Daoist Brush Master was silent for a few moments before he nodded slightly and said, "I believe in you. Anyway, now that you've achieved something decent. You can finally go out and do some combat training."

Ye Qing's interest was piqued. "Where should I go?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master swung his sleeve, and a teleportation array appeared under Ye Qing's feet.

Before Ye Qing could react, the teleportation array whisked him away.

When Ye Qing was no longer around, a man appeared next to the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The man was wearing a beast fur coat, and his long hair draped over his shoulders. There was a bottle of wine in his hand, and if Ye Guan were here, he'd recognize him immediately, as he was none other than the Boundless Master.

The Boundless Master took a swig of the wine in his hand and said, "That mysterious organization is about to make a move."

"I knew this was going to happen," the Great Daoist Brush Master replied, "The Evil Dao in the True Universe has been suppressed many times. It has grown incredibly powerful, and its potential is equally as terrifying as its strength. They won't give up on it. They'll definitely do everything to rescue that Evil Dao and unleash the Universe Tribulation."

The Boundless Master asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Watch," the Great Daoist Brush Master replied nonchalantly.

The Boundless Master frowned.

The Great Daoist Brush Master added, "We can only watch."

"Ye Qing is a good kid," the Boundless Master said sternly.

"Are you worried that I might take advantage of him?"

"You're not that kind of person."

"Precisely because he's good that we should lend him a hand. Not everyone is like that maniac Yang Ye or that woman, capable of defying the heavens and overturning everything with their own strength."

"Sometimes, I can't quite figure you out, but I know that even though you have many schemes, you're not a bad person. That's why I'm willing to stick with you."

The Great Daoist Brush Master laughed heartily.

The Boundless Master asked, "Will I eventually die?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master fell silent.

The Boundless Master smiled and said, "Give me a hint."

The Great Daoist Brush Master opened his hand toward him and said, "Give me something good."

The Boundless Master threw his bottle of wine toward the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master took a whiff of it before he shook his head and said, "This is the fine wine from that little island nation... I don't drink this stuff. Try another one."

He threw the wine bottle into the distance.

The Boundless Master pouted, and then he took out another bottle of wine and handed it over to the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master took a sip of it and closed his eyes slowly, saying, "As long as you choose the right side, you're not going to die in the next three thousand years."

The Boundless Master immediately laughed out loud, and then he took out a new bottle of wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls of it.

Then, he realized something and asked, "What about after three thousand years?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master did not say anything. Instead, he took another sip of the wine in his hand.

The snow at the peak became heavier, blotting out the sun.

A sword light descended, and a shadowy figure emerged from it. It was Xuan Yin.

The spacetime in front of him was ripped open, and Evil Granny walked out of the spacetime rift.

There was another shadowy figure and a red figure behind Evil Granny.

Evil Granny frowned and asked, "You failed again?"

Xuan Yin said, "That young man is from the True Universe."

"What?!" Evil Granny exclaimed. Her eyes turned cold, and the temperatures nearby dropped to sub zero.

Evil Granny glared at Xuan Yin with eyes filled with killing intent. "He's from the True Universe?"

Xuan Yin nodded. "Yes. In fact, he's somehow related to True God."

Evil Granny narrowed her eyes. "I guess he's indeed extraordinary."

"He has formidable strength and is accompanied by eight blood corpses, who are all half-step Path Creation Realm experts. I exchanged thousands of moves against them, but I still couldn't defeat them.

"However, I did manage to seriously injure the boy. Unfortunately, he managed to escape."

Evil Granny asked, "You fought against eight and managed to injure one?"

"Yes. Although those eight blood corpses are a half-step to the Path Creation Realm, they aren't actually that strong. As for the young swordsman, his cultivation base is too low, and his combat power is mediocre at best, not worth mentioning at all. If it hadn't been for his special sword, he would have died long ago."

After a moment of silence, Evil Granny said, "Xuan Yang, Cang Yue, you two handle this. Capture the young man alive if you can."

The shadowy figure and the red figure behind her bowed slightly and vanished.

Evil Granny looked at Xuan Yin and said, "Go to the Hongyuan Civilization and have them prepare what we need."

Xuan Yin hesitated. "If they refuse..."

Evil Granny snorted coldly. "They wouldn't dare to refuse."

Xuan Yin dared not reply. He bowed slightly and left quietly.

Left all alone, Evil Granny's eyes narrowed, and a cold gleam flashed through them as she muttered, "The True Universe..."

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Guan suddenly appeared in a certain star field.

His face turned pale as soon as he emerged from the spacetime tunnel.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Guan took out a pill and swallowed it. After a while, his complexion improved slightly. He looked down at himself and saw tiny cracks all over his flesh.

Ye Guan smiled when he saw the cracks disappearing at a rate visible to the naked eye. It was a sign that his fleshly body had improved yet again.

Zhou Yuan appeared next to Ye Guan and looked around. "Are we there yet?"

Zhou Yuan was a bit uncertain about the location of the mysterious civilization's ruins. After all, it had been a long time since the ruler of the Arcanist Civilization visited this place.

"The coordinates are pointing to this place," Ye Guan replied and looked around. They were in an unknown star field, and there were planets floating around nearby, but there were no signs of life in any of them.

It seemed that they were in a barren star field.

Ye Guan looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Give me some time to remember it. It's been such a long time, after all."

"No rush," replied Ye Guan with a smile. Then, he summoned Yi Nian.

Yi Nian cast a look of resentment at Ye Guan upon being dragged out of the pagoda.

Ye Guan saw that and laughed heartily before taking out a lamb to roast.

"Young Master Ye, give me a moment to look around this place," Zhou Yuan said. With that, he transformed into a beam of blood-red light that disappeared into the distant end of the star field.

Yi Nian sat across from Ye Guan, staring intently at the lamb in his hands with eyes glowing in anticipation.

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. What a foodie.

Soon, the lamb Ye Guan became a beautiful golden brown lamb. He sprinkled some seasoning over it, making it smell even more fragrant.

He tore off a lamb leg and handed it to Yi Nian.

Yi Nian wasted no time and grabbed it before eating it with relish.

Ye Guan said, "No rush, no one is going to take that away from you."

Yi Nian looked up at him and grinned. Then, she continued with her meal.

Ye Guan chuckled and tore off a lamb leg for himself. He took a bite and found it both tender and flavourful. His cooking skills had improved.

He looked up at the distant end of the star field, and he suddenly thought of the Milky Way. He wondered how those two girls were doing right now. It was about time for him to go back and see them.

Just then, Yi Nian sat down next to him. The lamb leg in her hand had been devoured, so she tore off another one. Then, she tore off a chunk of meat and held it up to Ye Guan's mouth.

Ye Guan smiled and opened his mouth to eat it.

Yi Nian grinned in delight before continuing with her meal.

Witnessing Yi Nian's delighted look, Ye Guan couldn't help but ask, "Yi Nian, do you have any dreams?"

Yi Nian thought for a moment before replying, "I want to quit my job, raise some lamb and eat them."

Ye Guan laughed heartily. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll quit your job. If I can't handle it when the time comes, I'll bring my aunt to help you."

Yi Nian hesitated briefly before saying, "She's very dangerous."

"It's okay, you're one of us. She won't harm you."

"Okay, okay..."

Just as Ye Guan was about to say something, Zhou Yuan suddenly appeared in front of him and solemnly said, "Young Lord Ye, I've found it."

Ye Guan quickly stood up and asked, "Where is it?"

Zhou Yuan pointed to the distance. "A hundred thousand kilometers ahead."

Ye Guan immediately said, "Let's go."

"No, wait..." Zhou Yuan said, shaking his head.

Ye Guan looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan's expression was solemn as he said, "There are many powerful auras around the ruins. It seems that someone else has discovered the place as well."

Ye Guan's face darkened.

"However, they haven't been able to break through the arrays that the Arcanist Civilization has left behind," Zhou Yuan added.

Ye Guan asked, "Are those auras strong?"

"Yes," Zhou Yuan said, nodding. "There are a few half-step Path Creation Realm experts, but they're hiding and are clearly wary of each other."

Ye Guan thought for a moment and then asked, "Can you break the array?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head. "The ruler of the Arcanist Civilization can break through it, but I'm not that skilled when it comes to divine spells. However, the sword in your hand should be able to break the array."

Ye Guan looked down at the Qingxuan Sword and replied, "This sword can break that array, but a huge commotion is bound to happen if I were to do that."

Zhou Yuan frowned.

"Let's wait for now," Ye Guan said. He could break through the array and enter the ruins, but he'd attract the attention of the powerful experts who had come here for the opportunity to plunder the ruins.

Of course, Ye Guan wasn't really afraid of experts from ordinary civilizations. He was mainly worried about that mysterious organization, as he was certain that they wouldn't let him go.

All of a sudden, Zhou Yuan's expression changed drastically. "Many experts are heading this way. Protect him!"

The seven blood corpses emerged from the tiny pagoda and surrounded Ye Guan in the blink of an eye.
