I Have A Sword

"Spar?" Little Pagoda asked in a deep voice, "And you're going to use the Qingxuan Sword?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Little Pagoda was silent for a moment before saying, "If you're dissatisfied about anything with me, just say it. I can change."

"..."

Swoosh!

Ao Qianqian suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. As always, her white robes were as pristine and pure as snow.

Seeing the indifference in Ye Guan's eyes, Ao Qianqian was immediately worried as she called out, "Little Guan!"

Ye Guan ignored Ao Qianqian and put away the Qingxuan Sword. Then, he closed his eyes.

Ao Qianqian became even more worried upon getting ignored. She reached out to hold Ye Guan's hand, but an invisible sword intent pushed her away.

Little Pagoda suddenly said, "Little mistress, don't get too close to him right now. There's something wrong with this punk."

Ao Qianqian nodded and closed her eyes. They were one, so she could feel Ye Guan's emotions whenever she wanted to do so.

Soon, Ao Qianqian's face changed dramatically.

Divinity! Humanity!

Ao Qianqian could clearly feel that Ye Guan's divinity had completely suppressed his humanity.

There was a bizarre voice and thought in Ye Guan's mind. The voice and thought of Divinity!

Ao Qianqian was stupefied. There was something wrong with Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's humanity and divinity were fighting each other. To be precise, his divinity was suppressing his humanity, but his humanity was resisting—desperately resisting.

Ao Qianqian became extremely worried. She wanted Ye Guan to achieve pure divinity, but Ye Guan was not mentally prepared yet. His humanity was too weak compared to his divine side. If he were to achieve pure divinity now, his humanity would be suppressed permanently.

Ye Guan was struggling and resisting the temptation before him. If one were to describe Ye Guan's internal strife, it would be like this. Imagine a prim and proper individual in the secular world suddenly becoming rich, with his wealth going from nothing to billions. He had just passed by a massage parlor; would he go in or not? If he ended up going in, would he really just get a massage?

The unattainable goddess was willing to give him a massage and even more if he wanted her to do more.

In simple terms, divinity represented desire—endless desire.

If Ye Guan wanted, he could achieve pure full divinity, and his strength would reach a terrifying level.

The scariest aspect of Ye Guan was his swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship would improve by leaps and bounds as well.

The sword intent that had pushed Ao Qianqian away was actually protecting its master.

Obviously, His Invincible Sword Intent also hoped that Ye Guan could let go of his human side and achieve pure divinity.

Realizing that Ye Guan's humanity was weakening by the second, Ao Qianqian threw all caution to the wind and charged at Ye Guan.

She wanted to merge with Ye Guan!

Swoosh!

A terrifying wave of sword intent swept toward her, pushing her away.

"How presumptuous!" Ao Qianqian was furious.

She flipped her hand and pressed down. Ao Qianqian's powerful dragon might suppressed the Invincible Sword Intent.

Just as she was about to merge with Ye Guan again, however, Ye Guan's two powerful bloodline forces burst out of him, sending her flying.

Ao Qianqian was stunned. Even Ye Guan's bloodlines had decided to make a move!

Little Pagoda's voice was trembling as he said, "The little master’s divinity has completely suppressed his humanity."

Both divinity and humanity were part of Ye Guan himself; the two bloodlines move meant that Ye Guan's humanity had been dominated by his divinity.

A pure full divinity swordsman! Little Pagoda was surprised and shocked. Had this guy really achieved pure full divinity?

Just then, Ye Guan opened his eyes; his eyes contained no emotions, and they were as cold as millennium-old ice.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan then disappeared from the tiny pagoda.

Left all alone, Ao Qianqian seemed like she had lost her soul.

A stranger! Ye Guan seemed like a stranger to her earlier.

Little Pagoda said, "Little mistress, don't worry too much about it. He's not an ordinary person. He can't possibly become an emotionless cultivation machine."

Ao Qianqian woke up from her trance and pointed out. "His humanity voluntarily gave up all resistance just now!"

Little Pagoda said in a deep voice, "He might have done it intentionally."

Ao Qianqian calmed down and said, "I trust him."

Full divinity was not scary, but pure full divinity was extremely scary.

Anything pure was terrifying, and if Ye Guan's humanity became strong enough to suppress his divinity... Ao Qianqian couldn't even imagine that sight.

However, Ao Qianqian felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

As soon as Ye Guan left the tiny pagoda, Zhou Fan appeared in front of him.

Ye Guan's hair had turned white, stunning Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan hurried toward Ye Guan, but before she could get close to him, she was blocked by an invisible sword intent.

Zhou Fan was shocked. "Little Guan..."

Ye Guan looked at Zhou Fan and frowned. "Lady Zhou, please behave yourself."

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.

Zhou Fan was confused.

Rumble!

The spacetime nearby trembled, and a black-clad youth walked out of the rift along with a lady in white.

They were the Ninth Hall Master and Zhan Xue.

The two were accompanied by twelve experts with sabers.

The black-clad youth looked at Ye Guan and frowned. "Pure full divinity..."

Hearing the black-clad youth, Zhou Fan was stunned, and she looked at Ye Guan in shock. Clearly, she was taken aback by the fact that Ye Guan had achieved pure full divinity.

Ye Guan turned to look at the black-clad youth and asked, "Are you from the Evil Dao Alliance?"

The black-clad youth nodded and said, "I am Ninth Hall Master, Li Han."

Ye Guan nodded slightly, "Brother Li, shall we talk privately?"

Brother Li?

The black-clad youth was slightly taken aback. Do we know each other?

Zhan Xue glanced at Ye Guan with a slight frown. The Young Master of the Guanyuan Universe seemed a bit different from the information that they had gathered.

Li Han looked at Ye Guan and said, "Sure."

Ye Guan nodded slightly and hopped onto his sword before disappearing into the distance.

Li Han also trembled and disappeared not far away.

Zhan Xue looked at Zhou Fan and asked, "Did he just achieve full divinity?"

Zhou Fan nodded.

Zhan Xue calmly remarked, "Then he shouldn't have any feelings for both men and women anymore."

Zhou Fan frowned.

Zhan Xue said, "The Great Zhou is a Tier Four civilization, so you should know what pure full divinity means."

"Pfft!" Zhou Fan laughed. "You're underestimating him."

Zhan Xue frowned.

Zhou Fan didn't say anything more. She looked into the distant starry sky with her lips curling slightly into a smile.

***

Ye Guan and Li Han walked side by side in the depths of the starry sky.

They seemed to be of similar age based on their appearances alone. However, one of them wielded a saber while the other a sword.

However, Ye Guan was holding the Ink Sword rather than the Qingxuan Sword.

Li Han glanced at the endless stars in the deep sky and said curtly, "Speak."

Ye Guan said, "Shall we talk first or fight first?"

Li Han withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan said, "You're a saber cultivator, and I'm a sword cultivator. Don't you think we should avoid beating around the bush?"

Li Han said, "Give me a reason to speak to you."

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Tianxing Flame appeared.

The epitome of composure, Li Han, was finally astonished, and the saber in his hand quivered violently.

Li Han gently pressed his thumb on the hilt, and the saber went quiet.

Li Han looked at Ye Guan and said, "You're not from the Tianxing Civilization."

"What makes you say that?" Ye Guan asked.

Li Han calmly replied, "I've made contact with the Tianxing Civilization."

Ye Guan frowned.

"Someone has suppressed that Tianxing Flame. Was it the Tenth Hall Master's murderer?"

"Yes."

"Impressive."

Li Han had to admit that he was truly shocked.

Killing the Tenth Hall Master wasn't that shocking for him, as he could do it, too.

However, suppressing the Tianxing Flame was just outrageous.

He was well aware of the terrifying power of the Tianxing Flame.

The reason the Tianxing Flame was so terrifying was due to the fact that it was capable of suppressing the dimension around its target.

Li Han was aware of it, as his clan had faced the Tianxing Flame head-on before.

Li Han was shocked—extremely shocked.

Ye Guan put away the Tianxing Flame and said, "What is the Evil Dao Alliance's goal? Is it the True Universe's universe tribulation?"

"That tribulation has been suppressed millions of times by now, and it is no longer the same universe tribulation that we know. Rescuing it is a direct order from the Second Hall Master."

Ye Guan frowned and asked, "The Second Hall Master?"

"That's right." Li Han nodded.

Ye Guan said, "Is the First Hall Master the strongest hall master?"

Li Han shook his head. "I don't know."

Ye Guan was puzzled.

Li Han said, "I haven't met the First Hall Master, so I can't say for sure."

Ye Guan said in a deep voice, "You haven't met the First Hall Master?"

"Yeah," Li Han said, nodding. "It is said that the First Hall Master is an Evil Dao, but I really don't know."

"The Second Hall Master is in the Ascension World right now, and he has been trapped in a certain heaven for quite a while now. Once he's free, he will personally go to the True Universe."

Ye Guan was silent for a while before saying, "Why is the Evil Dao Alliance targeting me?"

"We investigated that, and we discovered that it's a certain Evil Dao's selfish reasons. At first, they thought you were just an ant, so they wanted to crush you. However, they found out that they had underestimated you and discovered your connection with the True God, so the conflict escalated from then on..."

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "What about you?"

"I can make many choices," Li Han replied.

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I understand."

"Shall we spar?" Li Han asked. He felt that the young man before him was a bit arrogant and needed to be put in his place.

Ye Guan nodded. "All right."

Li Han was about to make a move when Ye Guan asked, "How about a wager?"

Li Han looked at Ye Guan. "What wager?"

Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing a storage ring. "Two thousand Ancestral Veins."

Two thousand Ancestral Veins!

Li Han stared at Ye Guan and asked, "No calling for help?"

Ye Guan nodded. "No calling for help."

Li Han opened his palm, revealing a storage ring with exactly two thousand Ancestral Veins inside of it. As the Ninth Hall Master, he had accumulated a ton of resources over the years.

Ye Guan threw his storage ring to Li Han. "Keep it. If I win, you give me those two rings. If I lose, you get those rings."

Surprised by Ye Guan's gesture of faith, Li Han nodded and replied, "All right."

"I just made a breakthrough, and my cultivation base is unstable. I can't make any big moves right now."

"Then how do we spar?" Li Han frowned.

Ye Guan calmly suggested, "How about this? We let your saber and my sword fight. They will represent us, and we're not going to intervene."

Li Han looked at the Ink Sword in Ye Guan's hand and nodded. "Sure."

Li Han opened his palm, and his saber flew a thousand meters away. Then, he looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan nodded slightly and waved his sleeve, sending a sword flying into the distance.

However, it wasn't the Ink Sword in his hand.

Little Pagoda was speechless at the sight of it.
