Ye Xuan was speechless.
He had not expected his old man to show up!
It was truly rare!
He had almost forgotten how long his father had been missing!
Of course, at this moment, he was curious, wondering why his father had suddenly appeared here!
Nearby, the middle-aged man turned to look at the man in the green robe. He sized him up, then smiled and said, “You’re his father?”
The man in the green robe nodded. “I’m his father, haha…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The middle-aged man studied the green-robed swordsman, then said, “You’re a sword cultivator?”
The man in the green robe nodded. “Yes!”
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly. “Don’t say I’m bullying the weak. I’ll let you have three strikes!”
With that, he placed his right hand behind his back, his robe fluttering without wind, exuding the aura of a formidable expert!
Three strikes!
Ye Xuan glanced at the middle-aged man. “Do you want to reconsider?”
The middle-aged man pointed at himself. “Third Knowledge Realm! Kid, have you ever seen a Third Knowledge Realm expert?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Carry on, I won’t interrupt!”
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, then turned to the green-robed man. Just as he was about to speak, a sword suddenly pressed against his forehead!
The middle-aged man’s expression froze!
The green-robed man looked at him, smiling. “You lose!”
The middle-aged man stared hard at the green-robed man. “You… you ambushed me!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
The green-robed man opened his palm, and the sword at the middle-aged man’s forehead vanished. He smiled and said, “I’m about to strike!”
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his right hand. “I concede!”
The green-robed man was stunned.
The middle-aged man clasped his fists. “My apologies for the disturbance!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the depths of the starry sky.
He fled!
The green-robed man glanced at the departing figure, shook his head with a smile, then turned to Ye Xuan, grinning. “Surprised to see your old man? Shocked?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Father, if you have something to say, just send a message. Why come in person?”
The green-robed man blinked. “What, you don’t want to see me?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Not exactly!”
He could not speak his true thoughts. After all, his father sometimes acted less than human!
The green-robed man laughed heartily, then said, “Come, let’s walk!”
Ye Xuan sighed helplessly.
At that moment, Qin Guan nearby suddenly said, “Hello, Uncle Yang!”
The green-robed man glanced at Qin Guan, smiling. “Girl, here’s a little something for you!”
With a flick of his finger, a pitch-black storage ring landed in front of Qin Guan. Her eyes lit up as she saw it, and she quickly tucked it away, giving a slight bow. “Thank you, Uncle Yang!”
The green-robed man smiled. “Join us father and son for a walk!”
Qin Guan nodded. “Alright!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the green-robed man. “Father, there’s another person here!”
The green-robed man sized up Ye Xuan, then said, “Your strength has grown a lot. Not bad!”
Ye Xuan looked at him. “That’s it?”
The green-robed man smiled. “Your father came all this way to see you. Isn’t that affection worth more than material things?”
Ye Xuan pursed his lips, his expression full of disdain.
The green-robed man laughed. “Guess why I came to see you this time?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
The green-robed man smiled. “We’re heading to a very distant place! So, I came to see you before leaving!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “A very distant place?”
The green-robed man nodded slightly. “Yes! It’s quite far this time! So, I came to check on you before we go!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Where are you going?”
The green-robed man smiled. “A world of illusion and truth!”
A world of illusion and truth!
Ye Xuan was about to ask more, but the green-robed man said, “Don’t ask! When your strength is sufficient, you’ll find out naturally!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Alright!”
The green-robed man glanced around, then said, “This parting, who knows when we’ll meet again!”
He looked at Ye Xuan, smiling. “Come, let’s spar!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly. “Are you just looking to beat me up?”
The green-robed man glared at him. “Is that how you see your father?”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, silent, but his meaning was clear!
The green-robed man smiled. “Draw your sword!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then flicked his thumb. The Qingxuan Sword shot out, its light flashing as it slashed toward the green-robed man!
With this strike, the sword intent of the mortal realm filled the heavens and earth.
At that moment, the green-robed man pointed with two fingers.
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword was pinned in place by this single point, unable to move, its sword intent completely vanishing!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The green-robed man smiled. “Any thoughts?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “You’re powerful!”
Nearby, the woman in the purple dress shook her head with a smile.
The green-robed man glared at Ye Xuan. “Don’t flatter me. Your father doesn’t fall for that!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly. “Father, what thoughts could I have? That you’re too strong? That I’m too weak? That’s the truth! What else could I possibly think?”
The green-robed man thought for a moment, then said, “Fair enough!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Father, if you’re going to some universe of illusion and truth, just go! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
The green-robed man shook his head. “No way! I have to give you some guidance. Otherwise, they’ll keep saying I’m not a proper father! Today, I must show you some fatherly love!”
Fatherly love?
Ye Xuan was speechless. Had his father been drinking?
The green-robed man sized up Ye Xuan, then said, “You’ve chosen the path of order. I walked that path once too, drawing faith from all living beings. I must say, it’s a solid path, but I think you have a flaw!”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “What flaw?”
The green-robed man thought for a moment, then said, “Haven’t figured it out yet. Hold on!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly!
He nearly lost it and wanted to lash out!
But then he remembered this was his own father, so he let it go!
Killing one’s father would not sound good!
The green-robed man suddenly smiled. “Sword Domain!”
Sword Domain!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, about to speak, when the green-robed man opened his palm. The sword spirit suddenly flew out from Ye Xuan’s body, landing steadily in his hand. He held the sword horizontally, and in an instant, a mysterious force enveloped the area.
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Sword Domain?”
The green-robed man nodded. “Yes! You have the sword intent of the mortal realm. You can absolutely create an Order Sword Domain, forming a domain with order, like my All-Beings Sword Domain back then. Of course, your Order Sword Domain would be stronger than mine was, since your faith power far surpasses what I had. But you haven’t fully utilised this faith power!”
Ye Xuan asked solemnly, “How do I do it?”
The green-robed man smiled slightly. “Simple. Use your faith power to form a powerful domain. Within your domain, you are the master, the everything! Of course, that’s just the basic domain. To become stronger, you need to borrow momentum!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Borrow momentum?”
The green-robed man nodded. “Yes! Borrowing momentum comes in many forms, like borrowing the momentum of people, of heaven and earth, or of the cosmic stars!”
Ye Xuan fell silent!
At that moment, he thought of the old ancestor of the Zhen Clan!
That ancestor had borrowed the momentum of a million cosmic stars, a force so powerful that Ye Xuan could not resist it now!
The green-robed man smiled. “Do you know what’s the strongest momentum to borrow?”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “The momentum of the cosmic stars!”
The green-robed man shook his head. “Wrong!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Then what?”
The green-robed man smiled. “The momentum of people!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “The faith power of all living beings?”
The green-robed man shook his head.
Ye Xuan looked at him. “Father, can we have a straightforward talk?”
The green-robed man laughed heartily, then pointed at himself.
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Borrow your momentum?”
The green-robed man nodded. “When borrowing momentum, you naturally borrow from the strongest. Compared to all living beings or the cosmic stars, your father is stronger, no?”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “So, when I fight in the future, I’ll borrow your momentum?”
The green-robed man shook his head. “No way!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
The green-robed man smiled. “You have to take it step by step. If you borrowed my momentum now, even if I were willing, you couldn’t handle it. Not only you, but an entire universe couldn’t handle it. Put it this way: if I lent you my momentum, one swing of your sword would erase tens of millions of universes around you. Understand?”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “So, you were just talking nonsense?”
The green-robed man glared at him, then said, “You kid, always looking for shortcuts! I’m telling you, that’s no good! Your father climbed step by step back then! You need to learn from me, got it?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Father, is this Sword Domain really that powerful?”
The green-robed man laughed heartily. “Powerful or not, ask Little Tower!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Ask Little Tower?”
The green-robed man nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan asked in his mind, “Little Tower, speak!”
Little Tower remained silent!
Ye Xuan looked at the green-robed man, who said calmly, “Little Tower, why so quiet now? That’s not like you!”
Little Tower hesitated, then said, “Master, I… can I not say?”
The green-robed man said calmly, “You don’t have to say. You know me, I never hold grudges! Right?”
Ye Xuan’s expression grew odd. Why was he suddenly threatening?
At that moment, Little Tower sighed softly. “Little Master, you don’t know, but Master’s All-Beings Sword Domain back then was insanely powerful! Because that one strike… it directly shattered Sister Destiny’s physical body!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
The green-robed man suddenly shouted, “Little Tower, that’s ancient history! Why bring it up? Don’t you know your master is a low-key person? Honestly…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Tower sighed in its heart. “Good grief! Stuck with this father and son duo…”
