Chapter 234: Exceeding All Expectations!
Si Tongtian led Ye Guan into a spacetime tunnel. Their destination wasn’t the All World City but the Yuan World, where Si Tongtian was from. A teleportation array was necessary for them to reach the All World City. Without a teleportation array, they would be unable to reach the All World City, even if they were to fly there for a year.
It was simply too far away.
The worlds were so distant from each other that one had to use a teleportation array to get to the other worlds. Fortunately, the Yuan World had a teleportation array connected to the All World City.
Si Tongtian cast a curious gaze on Ye Guan before asking, “Big Brother, are you really just a Minor Tribulation Realm cultivator?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Si Tongtian said seriously, “Big Brother, how come your cultivation base is too low? I bear no ill will, but it’s extremely difficult to get into the All Worlds List.”
Ye Guan looked at Si Tongtian and asked, “Really?”
Si Tongtian nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “Tell me more.”
Si Tongtian sounded serious as he said, “The All Worlds List only has ten slots, and it ranks the heaven-defying monstrous talents throughout the All Worlds. Those on the All Worlds List are monsters. The Yuan World where I’m from has billions of inhabitants, yet not a single one of us has made it onto the list.”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Who created the All Worlds List?”
“The All World City created it,” said Si Tongtian, “The All World City is a special place, as it does not belong to any world or heaven. The founder of the city is an incredibly powerful supreme elite, and her esteemed name is True Selflessness[1].
“She’s so powerful that she actually established her own Dao, which is outside the three thousand Great Daos. She calls her Dao the Dao of Selflessness[2]. She even fought the Jin Guards of the True Universe by herself and survived the entire ordeal.”
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed.
“She fought the True Universe by herself?” he asked.
Si Tongtian nodded and said, “Yes, and she also fought the Adjudication Sword Master in the Dark World for almost a month. No one knows the outcome of their battle, but everyone knows that she founded the All World City after the battle, and the Divine Spirits of the True Universe have never been able to intrude upon the All World City.”
Ye Guan was quiet. The Adjudication Sword Master.
Ye Guan had no idea of just how powerful True Selflessness was, but he knew just how powerful the Adjudication Sword Master was. The latter had taught him a lesson, after all.
The Adjudication Sword Master had sent only a single sword, but it contained a sword might so powerful that it made Ye Guan feel despair.
The fact that True Selflessness managed to fight him for almost a month was a testament to her prowess.
Ye Guan froze upon recalling something.contemporary romance
“Senior, are you familiar with True Selflessness?” he asked.
The mysterious voice replied, “Yes.”
Ye Guan rushed to ask, “Can you tell me about her?”
“All I can say is that she has a nickname, and it’s Forget Invincibility…” said the mysterious voice, refusing to elaborate.
Ye Guan wanted to continue asking, but the mysterious voice beat him to the chase. “I think you should just attempt to take first place. Once you succeed, you’ll have a chance to acquire her inheritance.
“You can ignore the inheritance of others, but when it comes to her inheritance, you must try to seize it once you have the chance to do so.”
Ye Guan was confused. “Why?”
The mysterious voice said, “You’ll know when the time comes.”
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled, but he didn’t ask any more questions.
Soon, they reached the Yuan World.
Si Tongtian said, “Big Brother, let’s go to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
The Immortal Treasures Pavilion? Ye Guan was stunned.
“The Immortal Treasures Pavilion?” he asked.
Si Tongtian nodded and said, “That’s right. Have you not heard of them?”
Ye Guan blinked and asked, “The Immortal Treasures Pavilion exists here?”
“Of course,” said Si Tongtian with a smile, “The Immortal Treasures Pavilion is the strongest private entity throughout the All Worlds. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve heard of the Guanxuan Universe, am I right?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Of course.”
“The Guanxuan Universe is one of the four large universes, and they’re pretty impressive. Their Sword Master is the only person who has successfully infiltrated the deepest recesses of the True Universe. I also heard that the Sword Master killed hundreds of thousands of Divine Spirits back then.
”He was drenched in blood, and his killing intent enveloped the True Universe for thousands of years, at the very least after that fateful day,” said Si Tongtian. He then sighed in admiration and exclaimed, “He’s such an impressive swordsman!”
Ye Guan directed a soft gaze at Si Tongtian. He was starting to grow fond of the latter.
Si Tongtian asked, “Big Brother, where are you from?”
Ye Guan smiled and admitted. “I’m from the Guanxuan Universe.”
“Oh!” Si Tongtian was dumbfounded. “You’re from the Guanxuan Universe?”
Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”
Si Tongtian examined Ye Guan from top to bottom. He sounded flabbergasted as he said, “No wonder you’re so strong. You’re actually from one of the four large universes…”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “You seem like you admire the Sword Master.”
“Of course.” Si Tongtian nodded, and he said, “Anyone out there will become filled with awe once the Sword Master is mentioned. The Guanxuan Universe is the only universe that doesn’t have to offer tributes to the Guanxuan Universe, after all.
“It’s the only universe daring enough to fight the True Universe.”
Si Tongtian stared deeply at Ye Guan. He sounded serious as he said, “I have to say, you really are brave, Big Brother. I’m not sure if you know, but I remember the Guanxuan Universe being really united many years ago.
”A summons from the Guanxuan Committee was enough to summon every cultivator throughout the Guanxuan Universe to fight against the True Universe.”
Ye Guan clenched his fists in silence.
“A heaven-defying monstrous talent has apparently appeared in the Guanxuan Universe, Big Brother,” Si Tongtian said, “His name is Ye Guan, and he’s the son of the Sword Master. Have you heard of him?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Yup!”
Si Tongtian was curious. “How is he?”
Ye Guan said seriously, “There has never been anyone like him in the past, and there may not be anyone like him in the future. His abilities are unprecedented… he exceeds all expectations!”
Little Pagoda: “...”
Si Tongtian whispered, “As expected of the Sword Master’s son. However, his presence means that the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe will go to war once again. For sure, it’s going to be a brutal war.”
Brutal war. Ye Guan nodded. He was about to speak when Si Tongtian said, “Big Brother, we’re here!”
Ye Guan set his thoughts aside and looked ahead.
An Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch stood not too far away from them.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Have the Immortal Treasure Pavilions always existed in All Worlds?”
Si Tongtian smiled and said, “That’s right. Anyway, we were talking about the Guanxuan Universe earlier, right? I forgot to mention Pavilion Master Qin. Pavilion Master Qin is a very, very, very powerful supreme elite.
”In addition to her prowess as a cultivator, she’s also a top entrepreneur. I mean, she founded the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and turned it into one of the biggest private entities throughout the All Worlds.”
Ye Guan was pleasantly surprised, and he revealed a gentle smile.
He truly had no idea, nor did he expect that his family’s Immortal Treasures Pavilion existed throughout the All Worlds as well. He was convinced that their family business only existed in the Guanxuan Universe.
It seemed that he had truly underestimated his family’s business.
Si Tongtian suddenly smiled and said, “Leave things to me once we enter, Big Brother. I still have some influence here. I’ll talk to Manager Li, and she’ll definitely give us a discount.”
Ye Guan opened his mouth to speak, but a beautiful woman emerged from the pavilion to greet them before he could start talking.
Si Tongtian cupped his fist and said, “Manager Li, did you come here to meet us?”
Manager Li ignored Si Tongtian and headed straight for Ye Guan.
She bowed deeply, and she used Profound Sound Transmission to speak. “This one’s name is Li Fei. Greetings, Young Master.”
Si Tongtian was stunned to see Manager Li bowing to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan stared in bewilderment at Li Fei before asking, “You know me?”
Li Fei hurriedly nodded. “The Young Mistress sent your portrait to every branch of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion throughout the All Worlds.”
Little Jia. Ye Guan smiled softly. Little Jia was indeed meticulous at handling matters.
There would have been a slaughter if a misunderstanding had occurred.
“We would like to go to the All World City; please help us arrange our trip,” said Ye Guan.
Li Fei bowed deeply once more before saying, “Please give me a moment, Young Master. Fifteen minutes will do.”
With that, Li Fei turned around and left.
Si Tongtian stared at Ye Guan in stupefaction. “Big Brother, you…”
Ye Guan smiled. “I’m a Premium Member of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
Si Tongtian asked, “Premium member?”
Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”
Si Tongtian sounded serious as he asked, “Big Brother, are you from a very rich family?”
Ye Guan’s smile deepened as he responded, “We’re just slightly richer than the average family.”
Si Tongtain shook his head and smiled. He was about to speak when a middle-aged man approached them. Si Tongtian’s expression changed upon seeing the middle-aged man.
“Father? What are you doing here?” he asked.
Ye Guan was silent.
The middle-aged man walked over to Si Tongtian and glared at him.
“Where did you go?” he asked.
Si Tongtian hurriedly said, “I went to see our ancestor.”
The middle-aged man was furious. “You went to bother our ancestor again?! Do you have nothing else to do, huh?! Our ancestor has left so long ago, so you should let him rest, you unfilial brat!”
The middle-aged man raised his hand to hit Si Tongtian. Si Tongtian’s expression changed, and he hurriedly hid behind Ye Guan.
The middle-aged man turned to Ye Guan and asked, “Who are you?”
Si Tongtian chimed in, “I have just recently acknowledged him, but he’s my big brother.”
“You unfilial brat!” the middle-aged man roared, “How dare you make another useless friend?! I’m really going to kill you this time!”
Si Tongtian’s voice was trembling as he cried out, “I’m your only son, Father! If you kill me, you’ll lose your one and only son!”
Ye Guan didn’t know what to say.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man almost fainted out of fury. He raised his hand and was about to smack his son when he felt a shiver down his spine.
The middle-aged man was startled.
He turned around and saw ten men in black staring at him with narrowed eyes.
The men in black belonged to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
The middle-aged man was stupefied.
What was the Immortal Treasures Pavilion trying to do here?
Li Fei walked out and glanced at the middle-aged man.
“Master Si, if you want to hit your son, go ahead, but you shouldn’t try to hit those uninvolved.”
Master Si glanced at Li Fei before turning to look at Ye Guan. His expression quickly grew solemn. He was so angry at his useless son that he had failed to examine the young man in front of him. His fury had abated somewhat, and he finally realized that the young man before him was anything but ordinary.
Ye Guan smiled before turning to Si Tongtian.
“Brother Tongtian, thank you for leading the way. I will be heading to the All World City by myself. We should say goodbye to each other here.”
Si Tongtian hesitated before nodding. However, Master Si chimed in, “Your big brother is going to the All World City, and you’re not even going to send him off personally?”
Si Tongtian froze in astonishment.
Master Si smiled. He sounded gentle as he said, “It must be your big brother’s first visit to the All World City. I’m sure he’s unfamiliar with many things there, so you should go ahead and go with him. Guide him around.”
“Father, what’s up with the sudden change of attitude? How come you’re so gentle all of a sudden?” Shi Tongtian asked. He looked hesitant as he continued. “Are you suffering from a head injury or something? Should we go see a doctor?”
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
