Without further chatting with Tower Master, he took out An Mu’s storage ring.
Inside the storage ring were twenty thousand gold crystals, while the remaining items, including his inner core, had already been sold to Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Now, he possessed a total of five hundred and seventy thousand gold crystals.
This was all his assets.
For the short term, it was temporarily sufficient.
He had not sold the two dragons. Tower Master’s suggestion was for him to eat them to strengthen his body. He thought it made sense.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes, took out some gold crystals, and began absorbing them.
Cultivation.
Whenever he had time, he would cultivate.
He dared not slack off for even a moment.
This time, his goal was to reach the Void Breaking Realm.
The Void Breaking Realm was no longer simply controlling spacetime, but one could shatter spacetime and perform long-distance spacetime teleportation.
With a single thought, one could reach thousands of zhang away.
Experts of this level could take someone’s head from thousands of zhang away. Their strength was immensely powerful.
Above the Void Breaking Realm was the Void Annihilation Realm. Experts of this level could cause large-scale explosions in space. If paired with powerful martial techniques or divine abilities, with a wave of the hand, they could easily destroy a massive city with a million inhabitants.
Experts of this level had abilities that were beginning to become increasingly abnormal.
After an unknown period, Ye Guan had absorbed one thousand gold crystals. Just as he was about to continue cultivating, a white light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ye Guan quickly stood up. He had arrived.
Soon, he passed through that white light, and everything before his eyes became blurry.
Shortly after, he felt himself come to a stop.
He slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, he was in a teleportation array. Not far in front of him stood a hunchbacked elder.
The elder glanced at Ye Guan but said nothing.
Ye Guan stepped down from the teleportation array, then said, “Senior, how do I get to the Undying Emperor Clan?”
He knew there was little hope in going to the Undying Emperor Clan this time, but he still wanted to try.
The elder pointed to a teleportation array on the right, then said, “Two thousand gold crystals.”
Two thousand.
Ye Guan felt a pang of reluctance, but he said nothing more. He took out two thousand gold crystals and handed them to the elder.
After the elder put away the storage ring, Ye Guan entered the teleportation array. The next moment, he vanished from the spot.
…
Soon, Ye Guan arrived amid the clouds. Not far in front of him stood a stone stele with three large characters: Undying Realm.
Ye Guan walked towards the stone stele. At that moment, an elder suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ye Guan clasped his fists and bowed slightly. “I am Ye Guan. I request to see the Clan Leader of the Undying Emperor Clan. Please…”
The elder suddenly interrupted Ye Guan. “You are Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan was slightly stunned, then said, “Senior, do you know me?”
The elder stared at Ye Guan. “What are you doing at my Undying Emperor Clan?”
Ye Guan said gravely, “I can compete for the Great Dao destiny on behalf of the Undying Emperor Clan.”
The elder chuckled lightly. “Competing for Great Dao destiny is false. Seeking protection from my Undying Emperor Clan is the real reason, right?”
Ye Guan remained silent.
The elder shook his head. “First place in a lower realm martial examination, what does that count for? This is Middle Earth Divine Continent. And for competing in the Great Dao destiny, do you know what kind of monsters participate?”
As he spoke, he smiled lightly. “Moreover, my Undying Emperor Clan has a good relationship with the True Dragon Clan. We will not turn against the True Dragon Clan for you. Also, my Undying Emperor Clan has super geniuses and does not need you at all. Understand?”
Ye Guan was silent for a moment, then nodded. “I understand.”
With that, he turned and left.
Watching Ye Guan depart, the elder sneered. “Getting first in a lower realm martial examination, and he doesn’t know his own worth. Utterly ridiculous.”
With that, he turned and left.
…
Ye Guan returned to the initial teleportation site. Seeing Ye Guan, the array-guarding elder was stunned.
Ye Guan walked up to the array-guarding elder, then said, “Senior, how do I get to the Li Clan?”
The Li Clan.
One of the six great aristocratic families in Middle Earth Divine Continent. The ancestor of this Li Clan, Li Banzhi, was extraordinary. She was an Inner Cabinet Elder in the Guanxuan Academy Main Academy.
The Inner Cabinet was the true core circle of power in Guanxuan Academy, with overwhelming authority.
Unfortunately, even though Li Banzhi was an Inner Cabinet Elder, she had to abide by the rules set by Guanxuan Academy and could not directly bring the Li Clan into the Guanxuan Academy Main Academy. However, she alone could bring endless benefits to the Li Clan.
If the Undying Emperor Clan did not have that connection with the Sword Master of Humanity, the Li Clan would undoubtedly be first.
This was why he chose to go to the Li Clan, because the Li Clan did not fear the True Dragon Clan.
Therefore, he selected the Li Clan.
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, the hunchbacked elder said calmly, “The Li Clan is in the Half Realm. To teleport there, it costs one thousand two hundred gold crystals.”
One thousand two hundred gold crystals.
It had to be said, the prices and consumption in this great world were different.
Too expensive.
Without further thought, Ye Guan took out one thousand two hundred gold crystals and handed them to the hunchbacked elder. The hunchbacked elder glanced at them, then said, “Follow me.”
As he spoke, he led Ye Guan to another teleportation array area. He pointed to one of the arrays. “Enter.”
Ye Guan nodded, then walked into the teleportation array.
Boom.
The teleportation array activated, and Ye Guan vanished from the spot.
Not long after, he appeared amid the clouds. Dozens of zhang in front of him stood a thousand-zhang stone stele.
Half Realm.
Ye Guan walked towards that stone stele. Before he got close, a powerful divine sense directly enveloped him.
Feeling this powerful aura, Ye Guan’s expression instantly became solemn.
So strong.
This was likely a top expert above the Void Annihilation Realm.
At that moment, an elder suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan.
The elder stared at Ye Guan. “Who are you?”
Ye Guan clasped his fists. “I am Ye Guan…”
“Ye Guan.”
The elder narrowed his eyes and directly interrupted Ye Guan. “You are that Ye Guan.”
Ye Guan was slightly stunned. “Senior, do you know me?”
The elder stared at Ye Guan. “You not only killed a dragon from the True Dragon Clan, but also killed An Mu from the An family in Qingzhou.”
Ye Guan nodded.
The elder sized up Ye Guan, then said, “You come to my Li Clan wanting to join?”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Yes.”
The elder smiled. “What can you bring to my Li Clan?”
Ye Guan said gravely, “Compete for the Great Dao destiny.”
The elder was stunned.
Ye Guan looked directly at the elder, his gaze firm.
The elder was silent for a moment, then said, “Wait here.”
As he spoke, he turned and left.
Ye Guan glanced into the distance and slowly closed his eyes.
…
Li Clan, Assembly Hall.
The elder stood respectfully. Not far in front of him stood a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was the current Clan Leader of the Li Clan, Li Yungang.
After a moment of silence, Li Yungang said, “How is this person’s strength?”
The elder said gravely, “He is a sword cultivator who can kill a young true dragon. His strength is naturally outstanding. His talent is undoubtedly exceptional.”
Li Yungang was silent for a long time, then shook his head. “No.”
The elder looked at Li Yungang. “Is the Clan Leader worried about the True Dragon Clan? I think, as long as this young man is outstanding enough, my Li Clan can completely confront the True Dragon Clan for him. Anyway, with Ancestor Banzhi there, my Li Clan has no need to fear the True Dragon Clan.”
Li Yungang shook his head. “It’s not just the True Dragon Clan. There’s also the An family. He killed An Mu and went to extremes. The An family will surely seek revenge. And the two Martial Gods of the An family…”
As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. “If in the future the An family retaliates against him, what should my Li Clan do then? Abandon him? At that time, my Li Clan would surely become a laughingstock to the world. If we do not abandon him, do we have to become enemies with the two Martial Gods of the An family for his sake?”
The elder fell silent.
The two Martial Gods of the An family.
Although the Li family had Li Banzhi, wanting to contend with these two Martial Gods was naturally impossible.
Li Yungang sighed softly. “Let him go.”
The elder hesitated, then said, “I observe that this person’s demeanor is extraordinary. In the future…”
Li Yungang shook his head. “My Li family cannot accept this karma.”
The elder sighed softly and turned to leave.
…
In front of the stone stele.
The elder looked at Ye Guan with a complex expression. “Young Master Ye, I am very sorry.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I understand.”
As he spoke, he clasped his fists, then turned and left.
Watching Ye Guan depart, the elder shook his head slightly and said softly, “Perhaps this matter should be reported to Ancestor Banzhi.”
As he spoke, he gave a self-mocking smile. “Ancestor Banzhi holds a high position in the Inner Cabinet, with busy daily affairs. How can we bother her with such a trivial matter?”
With that, he turned and left.
Outside.
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan opened his palm, and a jade pendant appeared in his hand.
This jade pendant was given to him by that mysterious woman he met in the lower realm starry sky. She told him that after arriving in Middle Earth Divine Continent, he could go to the Divine Clan to find her.
Actually, he was somewhat hesitant.
Because from what he understood, the Divine Clan had never competed for destiny.
In this generation, it seemed they had no intention of participating either.
If he went to them, he could not bring them any benefits. On the contrary, he might drag them down.
Moreover, when she gave him the jade pendant back then, it might have just been a polite gesture. For him to go find her like this, and then ask her to help confront the True Dragon Clan and the An family…
Even he felt it was a bit excessive.
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “Go try the Divine Spear Clan. If it doesn’t work, then go to the Divine Clan.”
Ye Guan was somewhat curious. “The Divine Spear Clan?”
Little Tower said, “Yes. I know one of their ancestors. That ancestor of theirs was exceptionally intelligent. Her descendants should not be lacking either.”
Ye Guan became even more curious. “Tower Master, you even know their ancestor.”
Little Tower said, “Let’s go.”
Ye Guan nodded, then entered the teleportation array and returned to the original teleportation area.
Seeing Ye Guan appear, the hunchbacked elder glanced at him. Ye Guan said, “To the Li Clan.”
Wait, no: “Off with the tribe!” – That’s Li Clan? Wait, earlier Li Clan was Li clan, now Departure from the tribe – that’s different, probably Shen Ge Clan or Li Clan? In context, it’s Shenge Tribe, which is Divine Spear Clan, but written as Departure from the tribe? Wait, perhaps Departure is for Li or Li, but in story it’s Shenge Tribe, and clan leader Departing from the Clouds, so Li Clan as in Departure.
The hunchbacked elder extended his right hand.
Ye Guan took out a storage ring and placed it in the hunchbacked elder’s hand. The hunchbacked elder pointed to a teleportation array not far away. “Enter.”
Ye Guan nodded and entered the teleportation array.
After entering the teleportation array, Ye Guan was in the teleportation channel.
Ye Guan said gravely, “Tower Master, has Immortal Treasure Pavilion established teleportation arrays across all heavens and myriad realms?”
Little Tower said, “Yes.”
Ye Guan exclaimed, “They make so much money this way. Just this teleportation array, they must earn an unknown amount every day.”
Little Tower blurted out, “It’s all your…”
As it spoke, it suddenly stopped.
Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. “All my what?”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then said, “What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. They have industries across all heavens and myriad realms. The revenue from teleportation arrays really isn’t much.”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Hearing you say that, I almost want to rob them.”
Little Tower: “…”
Shortly after, Ye Guan arrived amid the clouds. He looked up into the distance. Not far away stood a thousand-zhang stone stele.
On the stone stele were two large characters: Li Realm.
Ye Guan walked to the stone stele. As soon as he reached it, a powerful divine sense directly locked onto him.
Ye Guan’s heart tightened.
Such a powerful aura.
At that moment, a black-robed elder appeared in front of him. The black-robed elder glanced at him. “What is the matter?”
Ye Guan clasped his fists. “I am Ye Guan, coming here…”
“Ye Guan.”
The black-robed elder narrowed his eyes. “You are that Ye Guan from the lower realm.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”
The black-robed elder stared at Ye Guan. “You come here wanting to join my Divine Spear Clan?”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Yes.”
The black-robed elder said, “Wait.”
With that, he turned and left.
In place, Ye Guan remained silent.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Don’t worry. If they don’t agree, I will personally step in. Their ancestor will surely give me face.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I believe you, Tower Master.”
At that moment, the distant sky suddenly tore open. The next instant, a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering force suddenly surged in.
Boom.
The entire spacetime boiled.
Ye Guan was stunned. The next moment, his pupils contracted sharply as he saw a true dragon appear at the horizon.
The True Dragon Clan.
At that moment, more than a dozen powerful Divine Spear Clan experts suddenly appeared around.
Surrounded.
Ye Guan’s expression instantly became extremely grim.
This Divine Spear Clan had actually notified the True Dragon Clan.
At that moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. The newcomer was the current Clan Leader of the Divine Spear Clan, Li Yun.
Li Yun stared at Ye Guan with a mocking expression. “You actually want to join my Divine Spear Clan. What were you thinking? Would my Divine Spear Clan offend the True Dragon Clan and the An family for you? Truly laughable. But it’s good too. I can use you to do a favor for the True Dragon Clan and the An family.”
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. It faced Li Yun and said domineeringly, “Have your ancestor Li Ge come out to see me.”
Li Yun glanced at Little Tower, frowned slightly. “What kind of trash are you, worthy to see my Li family ancestor?”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Guan: “…”
