Sword heart clarity, human sword unity!
In the shadows, some big shots also recognised the special state Ye Guan had entered at this moment!
These big shots were all immensely shocked!
Quasi Great Sword Emperor!
A Sword Emperor was already a heaven-defying talent!
Reaching Great Sword Emperor!
That was a peerless monster!
With potential to enter the Millennium List!
Millennium List!
A list created by the Literary Institute of Guanxuan Academy. This list recorded all geniuses and monsters from the Human Sword Master era to now, plus some special figures.
To date, the list held only one hundred people!
All who entered were monsters among monsters, geniuses among geniuses!
Arguably the most prestigious list in the current Guanxuan Universe!
Entering meant being a monster even across thirty million years of history, not just this era!
Of course, it depended on how long Ye Guan took to reach Great Sword Emperor!
If less than Ye Yu, he could enter the Millennium List. If twenty years, likely little chance!
But even so, very monstrous!
In shadows, many were now shocked by Ye Guan!
Far away, Zhang Longhu retreated repeatedly. Finally,
Boom!
With an explosive sound, the golden armour on Zhang Longhu shattered. In that shattering instant, a sword pressed against his brow!
Around, utter silence!
Defeated!
At this time, a black-robed elder suddenly appeared not far before Ye Guan. The elder hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, please show mercy!”
Ye Guan ignored the black-robed elder. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at distant Zhang Longhu. Right hand lightly waved. The sword at Zhang Longhu’s brow dissipated.
Zhang Longhu paused.
Ye Guan said calmly, “You let me win!”
Zhang Longhu looked at Ye Guan, expression complex. “Congratulations!”
Ye Guan puzzled. “Congratulations?”
Zhang Longhu said gravely, “Do you not know you just entered ‘sword heart clarity, human sword unity’ realm?”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Sword heart clarity, human sword unity realm? What is that?”
Zhang Longhu was utterly speechless!
Damn!
Are you toying with me?
Ye Guan said earnestly, “I truly do not know. Just now, in an instant, heart gained insight. Entered a profound state. As for this ‘sword heart clarity, human sword unity’ realm you mention, I have never heard of it!”
Zhang Longhu looked at Ye Guan. Seeing his sincere expression, no feigning, he asked, “You must have a master, right?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, but my master is rarely present.”
Zhang Longhu silent.
Your master rarely present, yet you reached this level!
Simply impressive!
Zhang Longhu sighed softly. He had to admit, somewhat struck!
In others’ eyes, he too was a rare genius this era. He considered himself one. But now, he felt ordinary!
No most monstrous, only more monstrous!
At this time, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Please explain this ‘sword heart clarity, human sword unity’ realm!”
Zhang Longhu collected thoughts, then said, “It is a sword dao realm. Heart sword intent communion, sword intent unity. Sword in hand or not, person present or not, matters little. Those entering this realm are quasi Great Sword Emperors!”
Quasi Great Sword Emperor!
Ye Guan pondered moments, nodding slightly. “I understand!”
Zhang Longhu looked at Ye Guan, expression complex. “Young Master Ye, this battle, I lost!”
Admit defeat!
Zhang Longhu naturally could afford to lose!
As cultivators, most taboo inability to accept loss. Those harbouring resentment after defeat, seeking later revenge, were most contemptible.
Also what he despised most!
A man must win gracefully and lose gracefully.
Ye Guan glanced at Zhang Longhu. “Brother Zhang, I wish to ask a question, but fear presumption…”
Zhang Longhu laughed. “Brother Ye, too polite! Not dare presume teaching. If anything unclear, ask freely!”
Ye Guan nodded. “The martial skills Brother Zhang displayed earlier were extraordinary. Each punch and move carried immense momentum. Slight misstep, I would be pulverised… Dare ask, are those legendary emperor-tier martial skills?”
Hearing Ye Guan say this, Zhang Longhu’s face bloomed with brilliant smile. “Yes! Emperor-tier martial skills of my Spiritual Void Divine Land. I cultivated from youth, fusing my own ideas… Brother Ye finds them strong?”
Ye Guan nodded earnestly. “Extremely strong! Especially Brother Zhang’s ‘Mountain Splitter’ divine fist. That punch unleashed, fist not arrived, yet I felt torrential momentum, disrupting my breath…”
With that, he shook his head, sighing. “Worthy of the world’s foremost divine land, Spiritual Void Divine Land. Hearing not as seeing. Today meeting Brother Zhang truly taught me people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens! In future, if opportunity, I must visit Spiritual Void Divine Land personally, experience this foremost divine land!”
Ye Guan’s words made the Spiritual Void Divine Land elder beside smile, inwardly delighted!
Face!
Though Spiritual Void Divine Land lost!
But Spiritual Void Divine Land had face!
See!
Such a young quasi Great Sword Emperor held respect for Spiritual Void Divine Land, even wishing to visit… Recall, after defeating Cao Bai, Ye Guan said no such thing!
Beside, hearing Ye Guan’s words, Zhang Longhu was inwardly delighted. He said, “Brother Ye, if you come to Spiritual Void Divine Land someday, I personally guide you through all its scenic beauties!”
Ye Guan laughed. “Then spar again!”
Zhang Longhu laughed heartily. “Absolutely!”
At this moment, the two felt mutual appreciation!
At this time, Ye Guan suddenly coughed violently, appearing extremely weak.
Zhang Longhu hurriedly concerned. “Brother Ye, you?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Earlier battling Brother Zhang, your fist momentum too strong. My internal organs all shaken…”
Hearing this, Zhang Longhu grew somewhat embarrassed. “Brother Ye, battling you, I dared not hold back. So, this…”
Ye Guan smiled. “No matter!”
With that, he glanced around, worry flashing in eyes!
This scene caught by Zhang Longhu. He immediately said, “Brother Ye, I escort you three days!”
Three days!
Hearing Zhang Longhu, the Spiritual Void Divine Land elder beside paused, about to speak. But glancing at Ye Guan, he hesitated, ultimately not stopping.
This youth worth befriending!
Forming good karma not bad!
Three days!
Spiritual Void Divine Land could afford and had face for it!
Hearing Zhang Longhu, Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Brother Zhang, would this trouble you and Spiritual Void Divine Land…”
Zhang Longhu shook his head. “Brother Ye, worry not. Three days mere. Our Spiritual Void Divine Land can manage!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Then thank you!”
Zhang Longhu laughed. “Rest and heal!”
Ye Guan nodded, cupping fists to Zhang Longhu and the Spiritual Void Divine Land elder. “Thank you!”
The Spiritual Void Divine Land elder nodded slightly. “Polite! Young friend, heal quickly first!”
Ye Guan nodded, then returned to the cosmic vessel.
Ji Xuan watched Ye Guan. “All right?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Fine!”
With that, he sat cross-legged, beginning to heal!
Elsewhere, Zhang Longhu surveyed around, then said, “Everyone, our Spiritual Void Divine Land escorts Brother Ye three days. These three days, if any wish to kill Brother Ye, come find me first!”
Around, utter silence!
Sword Sect hard to provoke!
Spiritual Void Divine Land actually hard too!
Crowd somewhat speechless and depressed!
Damn!
Are you not all Guanxuan Academy? How one by one escorting this Ye Guan?
Playing games?
Zhang Longhu approached the elder, gravely. “Great Elder…”
The Great Elder nodded slightly. “No harm! Three days, Spiritual Void Divine Land can bear!”
His expression somewhat grave!
Zhang Longhu instantly relieved!
Alone, he could not bear!
For he knew this time came even more terrifying people!
Even several super aristocratic families and super sects sent people!
His, Zhang Longhu’s, face not that great!
This needed Spiritual Void Divine Land to bear!
The Great Elder glanced at distant Ye Guan on cosmic vessel, earnestly. “This person truly monstrous. Backer absolutely extraordinary! Forming good karma entirely feasible!”
Zhang Longhu nodded. He hesitated, then said, “The academy…”
The Great Elder softly. “His Qingzhou trip surely for that strand of sword qi left by Human Sword Master. If he truly summons Human Sword Master, then, do you think Human Sword Master would favour An family?”
Zhang Longhu gravely. “Hard to say!”
The Great Elder nodded. “Indeed hard. After all, An family and Human Sword Master ties extraordinary! But, I think we can gamble. If Human Sword Master truly impartial?”
Zhang Longhu silent.
Indeed!
If Human Sword Master acknowledged Ye Guan, deeming him right, then Guanxuan Academy immediately revoke warrant against Ye Guan!
Aristocratic factions, sect factions, all kneel!
Of course, another possibility: Ye Guan never reaches Qingzhou!
Spiritual Void Divine Land gambling!
The Great Elder glanced at distant Ye Guan. He gambled because Ye Guan worth it, giving Spiritual Void Divine Land face!
Respect me one chi!
I respect you one zhang!
People mutual!
If after victory Ye Guan slaughtered all or showed no mercy, Spiritual Void Divine Land naturally would not act thus!
On cosmic vessel.
At this time, Little Tower suddenly said, “Little guy, quite scheming!”
Clearly referring to Ye Guan’s earlier actions!
Ye Guan pondered, then said, “Tower Master, this wrong!”
Little Tower puzzled. “How?”
Ye Guan softly. “Ancient saying: Gentlemen judge deeds not hearts. Judging hearts, no gentlemen. My actions gave Brother Zhang face, gave Spiritual Void Divine Land face, sparing them embarrassment, preserving divine land’s centuries-old face. This deed good or evil?”
Little Tower silent.
Ye Guan continued, “Though I had selfish intent, my actions brought no harm to Spiritual Void Divine Land or Brother Zhang. On contrary, everyone stopped at point, turning enmity to friendship. They preserved divine land face. I lost an enemy, gained a friend. Good or bad?”
Little Tower silent.
Ye Guan added, “If judging selfish intent, I have. Brother Zhang and that elder likely too! Judging hearts, all villains?”
With that, he shook his head. “If having evil thoughts once makes one villain, how many good people in world?”
Little Tower speechless.
…
When I wash feet, occasionally evil thoughts arise. Am I villain?
