Chapter 232: This Sword Is A God!
Chapter 232: This Sword Is A God!
Ye Guan finally understood why An Nanjing brought him here. An Nanjing brought him here to watch the upcoming spectacular match rather than to inherit a sword inheritance.
Ye Guan was hyped. Fighting the True God? This would be an exciting battle, and he would surely gain some insight from the battle.
More and more people gathered. Most of them were talented cultivators in their own right, but there were also powerful lurkers in the dark. It seemed that the members of the older generation also wanted to witness the upcoming battle.
The Eternal Sword Master was still sitting down cross-legged. There was nothing spectacular about his aura, and many people couldn’t sense his presence at all. It felt as if he had melted into the world and had become a part of the scenery.
The Eternal Sword Master sensed Ye Guan looking at him.
He looked up, and his gaze landed on Ye Guan.
The crowd turned to look at Ye Guan as well.
Ye Guan was stunned. He didn’t expect to suddenly become the center of attention.
The Eternal Sword Master said, “Come here.”
The crowd was astonished.
Ye Guan hesitated briefly before approaching the Eternal Sword Master.
Ye Guan cupped his fist and greeted, “Greetings, Senior!”
The young woman in a white skirt behind the Eternal Sword Master cast a confused gaze on Ye Guan.
The Eternal Sword Master examined Ye Guan from top to bottom before asking, “Do you have a teacher?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
A look of disappointment fleeted across the Eternal Sword Master’s eyes.
Meanwhile, the crowd grew wary of Ye Guan.
Was the Eternal Sword Master fond of this young man?
What was that look in the Eternal Sword Master’s eyes just now? Was it disappointment?
Meanwhile, Si Tongtian was ecstatic. His big brother was incredible! Not only had Ye Guan been acknowledged by his ancestor, but the Eternal Sword Master had acknowledged him as well.
Ye Guan had to be a heaven-defying monstrous talent!
The young woman in a white skirt clenched her fists as her expression turned ugly.
The Eternal Sword Master felt reluctant to give up as he asked, “Are you willing to change teachers?”
Everyone was stunned. Change teachers? What the hell? What was the Eternal Sword Master doing?
Ye Guan was also shocked. He didn’t expect such a suggestion from the Eternal Sword Master.
The young woman in a white skirt was furious, and she glared hatefully at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan thought for a while before saying, “Thank you for looking highly upon me, Senior, but I have no intentions of changing teachers.”
The crowd was stupefied. Did he just reject the Eternal Sword Master?
Was he a fool? The middle-aged man was the Eternal Sword Master, and he was a supreme elite in this world! How could he reject the Eternal Sword Master?!
Some people felt like running toward Ye Guan and beating him up.
Si Tongtian ran over to Ye Guan’s side. In a shaky voice, he said, “Big Brother, h-he’s the Eternal Sword Master…”
Ye Guan smiled but stayed silent.
The young woman in a white skirt stared at Ye Guan in surprise.
The Eternal Sword Master looked at Ye Guan for a while. Then, he smiled and asked, “Who is your teacher?”
Ye Guan answered, “Plain-Skirt Destiny!”
The Eternal Sword Master was confused. He had never heard of that name before, and he wanted to ask more questions, but he realized that it wasn’t strange for a few swordsmen to live a low-key life.
The Eternal Sword Master stared at Ye Guan with a complicated expression.
He was truly surprised to see such a young Great Sword Sovereign. Furthermore, his sword intent was blossoming as well, which meant that he was only one step away from the Mortal Sword Realm.
The young man seemed to be a martial arts cultivator as well, and the fact that he managed to cultivate his sword dao and his martial arts to such a level meant that he was a heaven-defying monstrous talent.
What a pity! The Eternal Sword Master sighed to himself.
Just then, the skies above split open, and a beam of sword light pervaded the air.
The beam of sword light landed not too far away from the Eternal Sword Master, and when the light dispersed, a young man carrying a sword on his back was revealed.
“Shi Cang!” exclaimed someone in the crowd.
Shi Cang was the youngest Great Sword Sovereign of the Eternal World, and he had become a Great Sword Sovereign at the young age of nineteen. He had achieved this feat two months earlier than the Eternal Sword Master, and he was considered the greatest sword genius throughout the Eternal World’s history.
Shi Cang quickly walked over to the Eternal Sword Master and bowed. “Teacher!”
The Eternal Sword Master carefully examined Shi Cang and nodded. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
Shi Cang was silent.
The Eternal Sword Master spread open his palm, and a storage ring floated over to Shi Cang.
The Eternal Sword Master explained, “From today onward, you are the Sect Master of the Eternal Sword Sect. I trust you’ll lead the sect well.”
Shi Cang accepted the storage ring and held it tightly without saying a word.
The Eternal Sword Master turned toward the young woman in a white skirt.
“Come here.”
The young woman in a white skirt quietly walked over.
There was a complicated look in the Eternal Sword Master’s eyes as he said, “You are as talented as your brother, and you’re more hardworking than him. However, your character has to be excellent as well for you to succeed.
“You have to avoid trouble as much as possible once I’m gone, and I hope that you won’t drag the Eternal Sword Sect down.”
The young woman in a white skirt became even more unhappy.
The Eternal Sword Master sighed inwardly.
He turned toward Ye Guan and said, “Young man, I have a favor to ask.”
Ye Guan was silent, but he really wanted to say—We’re not close, so how come you’re asking me a favor? Can you please not?
The Eternal Sword Master seemed to have seen through Ye Guan’s thoughts. He opened his palm, and a sword that was as thin as a piece of paper appeared in his hand. The sword was without a sword hilt, and it was so thin it seemed transparent.
It gave off not even a single undulation of aura, and even though Ye Guan could see it in the Eternal Sword Master’s hand, it still felt like it wasn’t there at all.
The Eternal Sword Master smiled and said, “This sword’s name is Invisible Immortal, and it’s an Immortality-grade sword. There must be a reason behind our meeting today, so I want to give this to you for the sake of our meeting.”
Swoosh!
The Eternal Sword Master sent the sword flying toward Ye Guan.
An Immortality-grade sword! The crowd stared deeply at Ye Guan.
Immortality-grade artifacts were incredibly rare outside the True Universe.
Ye Guan thought about it and asked, “Senior, what do you want me to do?”
The Eternal Sword Master said, “Please spar with her.”
Ye Guan was stunned.
The young woman in a white skirt turned to Ye Guan and said, “Bring it on.”
“Just that?” Ye Guan asked.
“Just don’t hold back,” added the Eternal Sword Master.
The young woman in a white skirt interrupted and said, “He’s a Great Sword Sovereign, but his physical realm is too low. He’s not my match.”
Ye Guan looked at her and asked, “Can we start?”
The young woman in a white skirt replied, “Sure.”
Swoosh!
A dazzling sword light briefly pervaded the skies.
The young woman in a white skirt’s pupils constricted.
However, a sword appeared a few inches away from her forehead before she could even make a move.
Everyone was flabbergasted. Shi Chang stared wide-eyed at Ye Guan. Ignoring the looks that he was getting, Ye Guan stored away the Invisible Immortal and said gratefully, “Thank you, Senior.”
The Eternal Sword Master stared at Ye Guan with both nervousness and excitement. He had asked Ye Guan for such a favor because he wanted to gauge Ye Guan’s prowess. However, it seemed that he had still underestimated the young man.
The young woman in a white skirt suddenly asked, “Can we fight again?”
She clearly felt unwilling to let the matter go just like that.
Ye Guan glanced at her and said blandly, “You would have already died if we were fighting each other to the death just now.”
The young woman in a white skirt stared at Ye Guan silently.
Ye Guan added, “I know that you’re unhappy. You couldn’t react to my speed, after all.”
“Shut up!” the young woman in a white skirt snapped and said, “Let’s fight again.”
Swoosh!
A brilliant sword light briefly blinded everyone. The young woman in a white skirt stared wide-eyed as a sword appeared a few inches away from her throat. Ye Guan’s sword was too fast for her to react.
“How come you have such a bad temper when you’re so weak?” asked Ye Guan. He then turned to the Eternal Sword Master and cupped his fist before turning around and walking away.
The young woman in a white skirt was extremely upset. She glared hatefully at Ye Guan.
“Let’s—” she started.
However, the Eternal Sword Master snapped, “Shut up!”
The young woman in a white skirt turned toward the Eternal Sword Master in astonishment.
The Eternal Sword Master shook his head and sighed. “Shi Yuan, I am extremely disappointed in you.”
The young woman in a white skirt clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth.
The Eternal Sword Master slowly stood up. He looked at the woman pinned to the pillar with a sorrowful gaze. “I should have chosen to accompany you back then. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”
With that, the Eternal Sword Master looked up and cackled.
“True God!” he roared, “Let’s fight!”
The Eternal Sword Master waved his sleeve, and the Eternal Sword on the floor jumped to life. It streaked across the air and tore every inch of space in its way as it carved a spacetime rift emboldened by the Great Dao.
A golden pillar of light burst out of the rift.
All eyes were transfixed on the golden pillar of light.
Would the True God really appear just because of a challenge?
The Eternal Sword Master stared intently at the golden pillar of light.
Just then, a voice emerged from the golden pillar of light.
“Fight the True God? Are you even qualified to challenge the True God? If you had made a move during that battle where your wife died, the True God might have remembered you, but now? You’re not even qualified to challenge the True God.”
Swoosh!
A sword emerged from the golden pillar of light!
Boom!
Spacetime itself started to crumble as the sword gracefully streaked across the air.
Most of the crowd were forced to kneel in the face of the sword’s domineering aura. They trembled violently and felt completely helpless in the face of its might. They despaired, and they didn’t dare to resist.
The sword was like a god, and they could only surrender to it.
However, Ye Guan remained steadfast as he stared carefully at the sword.
He felt like he was facing the boundless universe, and he was just an insignificant grain of sand. He gripped his sword tightly as he shivered uncontrollably. His fleshy body was being torn apart, and his bones creaked beneath the pressure. contemporary romance
Even his soul was being tormented.
However, his will remained strong!
Ye Guan became more determined than ever.
He knew that he had no chance against the sword, and he had no choice but to admit that he was weaker than it. However, Ye Guan was not afraid. He was not going to surrender to it. He would not surrender even in the face of death.
The sword’s domineering and oppressive aura was tearing his fleshly body apart, fracturing his bones, and threatening to annihilate his soul, but he wouldn’t kneel to it.
The pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
The powerful sword might made Ye Guan’s knees feel weak.
Ye Guan grunted as he clenched his fists.
Boom!
His skin burst open along with his flesh, and blood spurted haphazardly in all directions. Ye Guan’s fleshly body was no more. However, Ye Guan was still glaring at the sword, even in his soul form.
“Bring it on!” he roared and stomped powerfully with his right foot before turning into a beam of sword light that made a beeline for the sword.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan’s sword light remained sharp, and his sword intent reached elite levels. His sword intent and sword force were on the cusp of making a breakthrough into the Mortal Sword Realm.
Everyone was stunned to see Ye Guan transform into a beam of sword light. The Eternal Sword Master was flabbergasted as well. Wasn’t he supposed to be the one challenging the True God?
A sword light forcefully blocked Ye Guan’s way.
Little Pagoda yelled, “What are you doing?! This isn’t your battle!”
Little Pagoda’s roar snapped Ye Guan back to his senses. His expression was ugly as he looked down at himself. He had actually lost control of himself. What should he do? Should he continue? If he dared to do so, he would be beaten to death!
However, it would be embarrassing if he were to back down at this point.
Ye Guan suddenly took out the tiny pagoda and shouted, “Master Pagoda, let’s go together!”
With that, he turned into a beam of sword light once more while holding out the tiny pagoda in front of him.
Whatever! I don’t care anymore. Let’s just do it, Master Pagoda can take ninety percent of the blow for me.
Ye Guan rushed toward the golden pillar of light with a sword in hand and the tiny pagoda in his outstretched right hand.
Boom!
A powerful wave of energy burst out of the golden pillar of light.
A human being and a tiny pagoda were sent flying away as if they were kites with their strings cut.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck! You troublemaker! You little bastard! Are you even human?! You… You’re worse than your father…!”
