Attaining Martial God through the sword path?
One had to admit, the small tower was a bit stunned!
It had followed two generations of chosen ones. Both were absolutely peerless geniuses, extremely rare in the world. This included the former young master. Although he later became the Backer King, his early talent was genuinely outstanding, one of the rarest existences in the world.
The first generation chosen one needed no further mention!
He attained the dao through slaughter and reached the peak!
Both generations of chosen ones had also cultivated other paths at the same time, but in the end, aside from the sword path, all other paths were abandoned. Especially the second young master, he played around in an extraordinary way!
Yet in the end, they all gave up! Only the sword path remained!
That was why it was extremely, extremely worried!
What it feared most was that Ye Guan would cultivate too diversely. Not only would he fail to master the martial path, he might even delay his sword path!
Attaining Martial God through the sword path?
It sounded incredibly impressive, but it was still very concerned. If this went wrong, both sides could truly end up neglected. Being jack-of-all-trades and master of none would be meaningless.
At that moment, the white-skirted woman in the distance slowly turned around. She looked at Ye Guan. Upon seeing him, she was slightly stunned. “You are not a descendant of the An family!”
An family!
Hearing this, Ye Guan’s expression immediately became guarded.
This was that Martial God of the An family!
Damn it!
She wouldn’t kill him, would she?
Ye Guan’s right hand slowly tightened. His heart was filled with extreme caution. The Sword of the Path was already primed and ready!
Just then, the white-skirted woman seemed to notice something. Her eyes narrowed slightly. Her figure flashed and she appeared directly in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan’s expression changed drastically. He tried to move, but a terrifying force instantly enveloped him!
In this moment, he felt as if his acupoints had been sealed. He could not move at all!
Ye Guan was greatly shocked. He hurriedly said, “Senior, my Tower Master is here! He’s very powerful!”
The small tower immediately flared up. Damn it, don’t brag about me! I can’t handle that kind of pressure!
After staring at Ye Guan for a moment, a trace of complexity flashed through the white-skirted woman’s eyes. With a wave of her sleeve, the martial momentum enveloping Ye Guan vanished completely.
Ye Guan felt relieved, but he remained highly vigilant.
At this point, the white-skirted woman suddenly asked softly, “Are you alone?”
Ye Guan quickly replied, “There’s also my Tower Master! He’s very powerful. Invincible under three swords, and above three swords, it’s one-for-one!”
Tower Master: “……”
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “You’re scared now? Why weren’t you scared when you were bragging!”
The small tower remained silent. Right now, it just wanted to play dead.
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, a smile appeared on the white-skirted woman’s face. “Is that what your Tower Master told you?”
Ye Guan nodded. He glanced at the white-skirted woman and said softly, “Senior, do you know my Tower Master?”
The white-skirted woman nodded. “I know him!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Now he suspected that the Tower Master wasn’t just bragging. He was actually really powerful!
From now on, he had to properly flatter the Tower Master. Whenever he encountered something he couldn’t handle, he would let the Tower Master carry it for him!
Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, the white-skirted woman suddenly pointed a finger at the space between his eyebrows!
Boom!
Ye Guan’s eyes widened instantly. In that moment, countless pieces of information surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
At this instant, Ye Guan seemed to traverse through time and space. He saw all the battles the white-skirted woman had fought in the past, all kinds of great wars…
Shocking!
Ye Guan was completely shocked!
So fighting could be done like this!
Martial God!
An almost invincible existence in close combat!
The Martial God inheritance!
A long while later, the white-skirted woman withdrew her finger. She looked at Ye Guan and said softly, “You have already comprehended the Martial God will. This inheritance can help you comprehend the Martial God consciousness. As long as you grasp the Martial God consciousness, you will be invincible in close combat!”
Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes and said softly, “Senior, do you know who I am?”
The white-skirted woman nodded. “I know!”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “I am an enemy of your An family. The people of the An family hunted me down, and then… they are finished now!”
The white-skirted woman gave a slight nod. “It’s good that you’re fine!”
Ye Guan was stunned.
What kind of words were those?
The white-skirted woman said, “I’m leaving!”
With that, her body suddenly became illusory!
Ye Guan hurriedly asked, “Senior, can I be considered a Martial God now?”
The white-skirted woman asked in return, “What do you think?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “I shouldn’t care about this so-called title. That spirit and energy are what I should pursue!”
The white-skirted woman smiled. “It’s not about pursuing it, but about maintaining it, because you already have it! What you lack now is actual combat. Those battles are all in your mind. You need to use combat to digest them, and from there create a martial path that belongs only to you.”
As she spoke, she gently tapped Ye Guan’s forehead. “Remember, in the early stage, consciousness is the most important. In the middle stage, pure power and pure speed are the most important!”
Ye Guan asked, “What about the late stage?”
The white-skirted woman smiled slightly. “We’ll talk about the late stage later!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Alright!”
The white-skirted woman nodded. “Keep going!”
With that, she disappeared completely!
The surroundings suddenly became illusory. The next moment, Ye Guan appeared back inside the teleportation array channel!
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. He kept recalling those Martial God battles!
At this point, the small tower suddenly reminded him, “You are a sword cultivator!”
It was still afraid that Ye Guan would go astray!
Ye Guan nodded. “I know! Tower Master is worried that if I cultivate too diversely, I won’t succeed in either, right?”
The small tower said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan said softly, “But I feel that the sword path and the martial path don’t seem that different!”
The small tower fell silent.
Ye Guan smiled. “They can complement each other. My speed is very fast, but my combat awareness is slightly lacking. The Martial God consciousness can make up for that. In truth, whether it’s the martial path or the sword path, the ultimate goal is probably to defeat the opponent. Since that’s the case, in my view, any path that can defeat the enemy is a good path!”
The small tower said nothing. It could not refute!
Ye Guan said softly, “Right now, I just hope to fight, to fuse my sword path with the martial path, and create a unique combat style that belongs only to me. I want to pursue my own path, unrestricted by conventions. Anything that can be used by me is my path, Ye Guan’s path!”
At this moment, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “I think his talent is a bit excessive!”
The small tower quickly nodded in agreement.
The mysterious voice said softly, “He might truly be the perfect inheritor of his parents’ cultivation talent. With this talent and this mindset, I really believe that one day in the future, he could reach the level of four swords!”
The small tower said gravely, “We still need to keep a close watch! He’s very outstanding, but after all, he’s young. So we need to let him suffer a bit more of the hardships of the world, so he doesn’t ruin his own mindset and go astray. Yes, let him suffer. As long as he doesn’t die, it’s fine!”
The mysterious voice said gravely, “Small tower, this carries a bit of personal grudge!”
The small tower: “……”
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly stood up. He looked into the distance. A white light had appeared there!
They had arrived!
South Province!
I’m back!
Soon, Ye Guan passed through the white light. He arrived on top of a teleportation array!
The teleportation array base of Xianbao Pavilion!
The moment Ye Guan appeared, an old man appeared in front of him. The old man looked at Ye Guan, was stunned for a moment, then shocked. “You’re Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan nodded.
The old man’s expression immediately became solemn!
He was from Xianbao Pavilion, so naturally he knew many things. Now that Ye Guan had admitted it, he could not help but become wary!
But Ye Guan ignored him. He rose on his sword and disappeared into the horizon!
Ye Guan did not go straight back to Huanggu City. Instead, he went to the mountain behind Huanggu City. Looking at that mountain, Ye Guan waved his sleeve. A flying sword suddenly shot out!
Sizzle!
A hundred-zhang sword beam descended from the sky!
Boom!
That mountain was directly split in two!
Seeing this scene, Ye Guan chuckled foolishly a couple of times, then turned and left!
The small tower: “…..”
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the gates of Huanggu City. Looking at the familiar Huanggu City before him, a smile appeared on Ye Guan’s face!
Everything was so familiar!
At that moment, a man at the city gate suddenly said, “Ye… Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan looked at the man and smiled. “You know me?”
“Ye Guan!”
The man suddenly became excited. He turned and ran, shouting crazily as he went, “Ye Guan is back! Ye Guan is back!”
In an instant, the entire city was shocked. Countless people surged toward the city gate!
Seeing this scene, Ye Guan was stunned.
The people rushing over were all extremely excited and thrilled!
Back when Ye Guan won first place in the martial examination, the entire South Province had boiled over. It could be said that Ye Guan had become the hero of all South Province!
For a thousand years!
South Province had always been at the bottom. Everyone had been holding in this breath for nearly a millennium!
Now that Ye Guan had taken first place, South Province could finally exhale!
Any genius youth from South Province who went out also gained great face.
First place in the martial examination!
This was not only Ye Guan’s personal honour. It was the honour of the entire South Province. Especially now, in the eyes of all South Province, Ye Guan was practically a god-like existence.
“Ye Guan!”
In the crowd, countless people shouted in unison.
Looking at the people in the field, Ye Guan gave a slight smile. He suddenly moved his mind. He rose on his sword, performed several three-hundred-and-sixty-degree spins in the air, and finally left gracefully amid the envious and shocked gazes of the crowd!
Inside the small tower, the small tower suddenly laughed. “In the end, he’s still just a young man! A bit flashy!”
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the Ye clan. At this moment, the entire Ye clan had already gathered at the entrance.
Leading them was Ye Xiao!
Seeing Ye Guan approach, everyone in the Ye clan erupted.
A brilliant smile also appeared on Ye Xiao’s face!
Sword Emperor!
Although South Province was backward, thanks to the academy and Xianbao Pavilion, some news still spread.
For example, the fact that Ye Guan was a Sword Emperor!
Ye Xiao and the others were naturally overjoyed. A Sword Emperor! The Ye family had actually produced a Sword Emperor! The ancestors’ graves must be smoking green!
Although Ye Guan was not from the main line of the Ye family, in the eyes of the Ye clan, Ye Guan was a member of the Ye family!
Ye Guan quickly walked up to Ye Xiao and gave a slight bow. “Clan Head!”
Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed Ye Guan’s arm and directly pulled him toward the inside of the Ye clan. The crowd parted to make way.
Ye Xiao led Ye Guan straight to the Ye family ancestral hall, while the others stood outside.
Ye Xiao lit a stick of incense, then turned to look at Ye Guan. “I now announce that you are the clan head of the Ye family!”
Clan head!
Hearing this, Ye Guan was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly said, “Clan Head…”
Ye Xiao shook his head. “I know what you mean. I also know you don’t have time to manage the Ye family. Don’t worry. I’ll continue to manage the Ye family affairs. You just focus on your own matters!”
Ye Guan said gravely, “Clan Head, this matter is a bit complicated!”
Right now, he absolutely could not become the clan head of the Ye family. If he did, it was very likely to bring disaster to the entire Ye family!
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, Ye Xiao said softly, “Is it because of some outside reasons?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Clan Head, this matter is not urgent for now!”
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded. “As you say!”
Ye Guan immediately felt relieved.
Ye Guan took out a storage ring and gave it to Ye Xiao. “Clan Head, inside this storage ring are ten million gold crystals, some true dragon corpses, and some other treasures. Please keep them to distribute to the Ye clan disciples!”
Ye Xiao did not refuse. He accepted the storage ring. He looked at Ye Guan. “When are you leaving?”
Ye Guan said, “Soon!”
Ye Xiao was stunned. “So fast?”
Ye Guan nodded.
He could not stay long in the Ye clan, lest he implicate them and cause them to be targeted as well!
Besides that, there were still three months until the battle with the chosen one. Right now, he needed to find a place to cultivate. South Province clearly did not have such a place.
He had to go to the Xuan Tower in the Xuan Realm!
However, the Xuan Realm was controlled by Xianbao Pavilion, so he was not sure if he could enter through other means!
In any case, he had to try first!
If it really didn’t work, he would just have to play a little thug!
Ye Xiao said softly, “Stay one night before you go!”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright!”
At this point, Ye Xiao suddenly said, “Bring the clan register!”
Under everyone’s gaze, the second elder quickly handed over the Ye family clan register. Ye Xiao opened the clan register. After looking for a long time, he found Ye Guan’s name. Then, in front of everyone, with a grand stroke, he directly erased Ye Guan’s name!
Ye Guan’s expression changed greatly. “Clan Head!”
At this moment, the second elder took out another clan register. The great elder opened it. It was blank!
Ye Xiao took up the brush with a grand stroke. On the first line of the first page, he wrote boldly: Ye Guan!
Starting a new clan register?
Everyone was stunned!
Ye Xiao held the clan register in his hand and said calmly, “From today onward, our Ye family will use this clan register as the main one!”
Ye Guan: “……”
At this moment, the small tower suddenly said, “Impressive… Even his father and grandfather never received this kind of treatment…”
…
Night fell.
Ye Guan lay on the stone steps in front of his courtyard, gazing at the starry sky. The sound of insects chirped constantly around him.
Ye Guan said softly, “Tower Master, is the chosen one the person selected by the Great Dao Pen?”
The small tower said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan asked, “I remember you said before that the Great Dao Pen owner is very strong, right?”
The small tower said, “Just ask the important part directly!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Between the Great Dao Pen owner and you, who is stronger?”
The small tower was just about to speak when the mysterious voice suddenly said, “Are you sure you want to show off like this?”
The small tower immediately fell silent.
Just as Ye Guan was about to press further, a somewhat resentful voice suddenly came from the side. “You came back and didn’t even come to find me. Have you already forgotten about me?”
…
“Brother Shen!”
“Mm!”
As Shen Changqing walked along the road, whenever he met acquaintances, they would greet each other or nod.
But no matter who it was.
Everyone’s face showed no extra expression, as if they were indifferent to everything.
Shen Changqing was already used to this.
Because this was the Demon Suppression Division, an organisation responsible for maintaining the stability of Great Qin. Its main duty was to kill demons and strange creatures, though of course there were also some side businesses.
It could be said that every person in the Demon Suppression Division had their hands stained with a great deal of blood.
When a person has seen too much life and death, they become indifferent to many things.
When Shen Changqing first arrived in this world, he found it hard to adjust. But over time, he gradually got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is very large.
Those who can remain in the Demon Suppression Division are either powerful experts or people with the potential to become experts.
Shen Changqing belonged to the latter.
Within the Demon Suppression Division, there are two professions: Guardian Envoy and Demon Subduer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest rank of Demon Subduer,
and advances step by step, with the hope of eventually becoming a Guardian Envoy.
Shen Changqing’s predecessor was a trainee Demon Subduer in the Demon Suppression Division, the lowest rank among Demon Subduers.
Having inherited the predecessor’s memories,
he was already very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn’t take long before Shen Changqing stopped in front of a pavilion.
Unlike the other places in the Demon Suppression Division that were filled with killing intent, this pavilion stood out like a crane among chickens. Amid the bloody atmosphere of the Demon Suppression Division, it presented an unusual sense of tranquility.
At this moment the pavilion doors were wide open, and people occasionally came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.
Upon entering the pavilion,
the atmosphere changed abruptly.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood rushed towards him, making him instinctively frown, but he quickly relaxed again.
The bloody smell that clings to everyone in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to wash away completely.
