Great sword immortal!
Ao Tian was not lying. A great sword immortal was nothing the True Dragon Clan feared. A great sword immortal might be somewhat troublesome, but great sword immortals were not invincible. The True Dragon Clan had full capability to confront one. One must know that the True Dragon Clan was a branch of the ancient heavenly dragons from the main branch of the Guanxuan Academy. They had backing!
Opposite Ao Tian, Chen Diao fell silent, pondering inwardly.
According to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s investigation, the person behind Ye Guan might not be as simple as just a great sword immortal. The intelligence system of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion could rival that of the Guanxuan Academy. Yet even they could uncover nothing. This matter was far from simple.
Ao Tian suddenly said, “Manager Chen, I hear you have recently encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation. This item might help you!”
As he spoke, he spread his palm, and a thumb-sized golden inner core appeared before Chen Diao!
Seeing this inner core, Chen Diao’s pupils contracted sharply.
Dragon core!
Chen Diao was silent for a long, long time before accepting the inner core. “Clan Leader Ao Tian, please wait a moment!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ao Tian slowly closed his eyes.
In the inner hall, Chen Diao entered a secret chamber. He took out a special scroll and wrote the two words “Ye Guan”.
At that moment, a black-clothed figure appeared before Chen Diao!
Chen Diao handed the scroll to the black-clothed person.
The black-clothed person said calmly, “Why investigate this person?”
Chen Diao replied calmly, “Confidential!”
The black-clothed person was silent for a moment before saying, “Present your manager’s seal!”
Chen Diao frowned slightly. “Is that necessary?”
The black-clothed person said nothing.
Chen Diao was silent for a moment before taking out his manager’s seal and stamping it on the scroll.
The black-clothed person turned and left!
Chen Diao was silent for a long while. A chill flashed in his eyes. “Gamble!”
Gamble!
In truth, he did not wish to get involved in this muddy water. After all, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had a rule: no participation in any worldly disputes.
However, what the True Dragon Clan offered was truly too much!
A dragon core plus hundreds of thousands of gold crystals!
He could not refuse this temptation!
Wealth and honour come from risk!
The karma of a great sword immortal was something he, Chen Diao, could bear!
In the outer hall, after Ao Tian waited about a quarter of an hour, Chen Diao suddenly hurried to him and said urgently, “Clan Leader Ao Tian, return to your clan quickly!”
Ao Tian frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
Chen Diao stared at Ao Tian. “He has gone to your True Dragon Realm again!”
Hearing this, Ao Tian’s pupils contracted sharply!
The powerhouses of the True Dragon Clan were all out searching for Ye Guan. That meant the True Dragon Realm was currently defenceless against top experts!
Ao Tian’s expression became extremely grim. He said ferociously, “Is he looking down on my True Dragon Clan?”
With those words, he turned and left!
Chen Diao hurriedly said, “Use the teleportation array!”
Hearing this, Ao Tian immediately flew towards the teleportation array.
After Ao Tian left, Chen Diao looked at the distant horizon, a trace of worry in his eyes.
…
True Dragon Realm!
When Ye Guan arrived in the True Dragon Realm again, just as before, there were no top powerhouses in the True Dragon Realm!
Little Tower suddenly said, “Head to the right!”
Ye Guan paused for a moment, then turned and sped to the right!
Soon, after passing a high mountain, he arrived on a vast plain. At a glance, the plain stretched endlessly. On this plain, massive true dragons could be seen.
However, these true dragons emitted no aura!
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Is this the dragon graveyard of the True Dragon Clan?”
Little Tower said, “A thousand zhang ahead, quickly!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan flashed and vanished from the spot!
A thousand zhang away, Ye Guan stopped. Before him was a true dragon. This true dragon was incredibly massive, nearly ten thousand zhang long. Moreover, this dragon had two dragon heads!
Standing before this true dragon, Ye Guan was like an ant before a human, utterly insignificant.
Ye Guan exclaimed in admiration, “Tower Master, this dragon is huge! And it has two heads!”
Little Tower said, “This should be an ancestor of the True Dragon Clan, having reached the peak of the Imperial Tier. However, it has already fallen. But for you now, its entire body is treasure.”
Ye Guan said gravely, “Tower Master, my storage ring cannot hold this fellow!”
Little Tower said, “I can hold it!”
Joy surged in Ye Guan’s heart. “You can open your world now?”
Little Tower said, “Temporarily, yes. However, it cannot stay open for long!”
Ye Guan felt some disappointment.
The world inside Little Tower was a holy ground for cultivation!
It was truly a pity that it could not be used constantly!
At that moment, a golden light suddenly enveloped the true dragon. In an instant, the true dragon was collected into Little Tower.
Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, Little Tower suddenly said, “Leave quickly!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan immediately turned. His figure trembled, and he soared into the sky on his sword!
“Where do you think you are going!”
At that moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the horizon.
Ye Guan turned to look. A gigantic dragon was charging towards him at terrifying speed!
Ao Tian!
Ye Guan was puzzled. How had Ao Tian arrived so quickly?
Without further thought, he flashed on his sword, shuttling through spacetime and vanishing at the horizon.
Behind him, Ao Tian roared furiously. He opened his mouth and sprayed a golden light.
Boom!
The sky was directly shattered!
In the distance, Ye Guan suddenly spread his palm. The Path Sword flew out and slashed.
Rip!
A streak of sword light directly cleaved the golden light.
Boom!
The golden light was shattered!
In the next moment, the Path Sword soared into the sky, then returned to Ye Guan’s hand in a beautiful arc. In the blink of an eye, Ye Guan flew away on his sword, vanishing at the distant horizon.
Seeing this, Ao Tian froze in place!
Ye Guan had broken his dragon flame with a single sword?
One must know that his realm was three levels higher than Ye Guan’s. Moreover, he was a dragon. His combat power far exceeded that of humans at the same level!
The sword!
Ao Tian’s expression suddenly became extremely grim.
If an ordinary weapon encountered his dragon flame, it would directly turn to ash. His dragon flame not only possessed immense power but also extreme corrosiveness. Yet that sword could ignore his dragon flame!
Furthermore, previously, those dragons of the clan had been easily slain by Ye Guan. No ordinary weapon could so easily breach the powerful physical bodies of the dragon clan!
Not simple!
After calming down, Ao Tian felt this matter growing increasingly complicated!
Behind this Ye Guan, it might not be as simple as just one great sword immortal!
Moreover, he could no longer allow Ye Guan to lead him by the nose!
Thus, Ao Tian chose not to pursue!
At that moment, a powerhouse of the True Dragon Clan suddenly appeared before Ao Tian. His expression was extremely grim. “That Ye Guan stole the corpse of Ancestor Ao Hu…”
Ao Tian’s expression remained calm, without anger!
At this time, he needed to stay clear-headed!
After a long while, Ao Tian suddenly said, “Invite the clan leader of the Divine Spear Clan, Li Yun, to come!”
That true dragon powerhouse nodded. “Good!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ao Tian looked at the distant horizon and said softly, “No matter who is behind you, my True Dragon Clan will turn them into dead people!”
…
In some unknown mountains, Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the ground. Before him, a large pot of dragon meat was stewing!
It was the meat of that Imperial Tier dragon!
Dragon meat was actually quite delicious. Moreover, he discovered that after eating this dragon meat, his physical strength increased!
During this period of eating dragon meat daily, he found his strength had multiplied several times compared to before!
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “Later, you can bathe in dragon blood. That blood also has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
After eating the dragon meat, he immediately took out a bathtub and poured the blood of that Imperial Tier true dragon into it!
Ye Guan stripped off all his clothes and jumped into the bathtub!
Boom!
The moment he entered, he felt his entire body become scorching hot. However, he could endure it!
Ye Guan lay in the bathtub, slowly closing his eyes!
For now, dragon blood and dragon meat were the best things for strengthening the body! Even more effective than some miraculous pills!
Though he was a sword cultivator, he pursued speed. If his physical body could be greatly enhanced, it would also greatly benefit his speed.
Ye Guan recalled Ao Tian’s dragon flame earlier. His expression was grave!
Though he had broken the opponent’s dragon flame, he did not feel his strength was already enough to rival him. Breaking the dragon flame was entirely due to the Path Sword!
At this thought, with a thought from Ye Guan, the Path Sword floated before him.
Looking at the Path Sword, Ye Guan’s expression was solemn, lost in thought.
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “What is it?”
Ye Guan said softly, “Tower Master, this sword is too strong!”
Little Tower said, “Is that not good?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “It is not bad. I fear becoming dependent on this sword!”
Little Tower fell silent.
Ye Guan said softly, “This sword has elevated my strength to a level not my own. If I frequently use this sword, I will surely develop dependence. Over time, I will ruin myself. Moreover, if one day I lose this sword, my strength will revert to its original state, and I will become a cripple!”
Little Tower was silent for a moment before sighing softly. “I am gratified that you think this way!”
Once, there had been such a genius. That genius’s talent and mindset were no less than Ye Guan’s. Unfortunately, he had later gone somewhat astray.
Truly, sometimes power was not true power. It was false power. Just like Ye Guan now, easily slaying true dragons of the True Dragon Clan owed much to the Path Sword.
Ye Guan continued, “However, at this moment, I must use this sword. Without it, I cannot contend with the True Dragon Clan! Therefore, I can only use it in life-and-death moments. At other times, I will avoid using it if possible.”
Little Tower smiled. “That works!”
Ye Guan took a deep breath, then put away the Path Sword. He pondered inwardly:
The True Dragon Clan would certainly not let this go!
Having suffered twice, the True Dragon Clan would surely learn their lesson and no longer give him any opportunities!
Next, his situation would become increasingly difficult!
If he were Ao Tian, what would he do?
Moments later, Ye Guan opened his eyes. If he were Ao Tian, he would no longer engage in guerrilla warfare but make it so he had nowhere to escape!
The Ye Clan!
The Dao Gate!
At this thought, Ye Guan’s expression darkened.
The True Dragon Clan would certainly target the Ye Clan!
Because the Dao Monk master was not easy to bully, but the Ye Clan was different!
Previously, the True Dragon Clan might have cared about face and not acted against the Ye Clan. But now it was different. The True Dragon Clan had already lost all face. Would they still care about it?
At this thought, Ye Guan immediately stood up. He headed straight for the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. To return to the lower realm, he had to go to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and use their teleportation array!
…
In some vast mountain range, the area was desolate, with only endless mountains!
Deep in these mountains, a sudden change occurred. The ground within thousands of miles trembled. Then, countless earth powers converged towards a certain spot.
On a flat ground, a man sat cross-legged, hands on his knees. The endless earth powers converged towards him, ultimately absorbed completely!
Between his brows was a small golden character “Fa”.
If a knowledgeable person were here, they would surely be shocked!
Because this “Fa” character was the Earth Law!
In the heavens and earth, there were nine laws, also called the Nine Laws, constraining the powers of heaven and earth. Each law possessed extremely terrifying power. If all nine laws could be gathered, it could even open the legendary Gate of Laws…
And this man was none other than Ye Qing, who had ascended from the lower realm!
After a long while, Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, two beams of terrifying golden light shot from his eyes. In an instant, the ground before him exploded, creating a massive ravine hundreds of zhang deep.
Ye Qing took a deep breath, excited. “Master, I have fully mastered this Earth Law!”
An aged voice suddenly rang out. “Good! Let us go to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. We will seek the next law!”
Ye Qing nodded. “Good!”
With that, he stood up, tapped his foot lightly, and instantly turned into a golden light, vanishing into the distance.
Soon, he arrived in nearby Yuan City.
On the street, Ye Qing suddenly turned his head. Not far away, a voice said, “This Ye Guan is truly remarkable. Not only did he slay dozens of true dragons in a row, but he also seized all the dragon eggs of the True Dragon Clan… And he is only at the Space Shattering Realm. Outrageous!”
“That is nothing! I hear he went to the True Dragon Clan a second time and directly seized the ancestral dragon remains of the True Dragon Clan. Tsk tsk, the True Dragon Clan has lost all face!”
“Hmph! Doing this may seem satisfying! But great disaster looms. I hear the powerhouses of the True Dragon Clan have already headed to the lower realm. They must be targeting that Ye Clan!”
Hearing this, Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed!
The Ye Clan!
Without any nonsense, Ye Qing strode quickly towards the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
At that moment, the aged voice suddenly rang out. “You wish to return to the lower realm?”
Ye Qing said gravely, “Yes!”
The aged voice was silent for a moment before saying, “In truth, with your talent, your future will be very bright. Now, clashing to the death with the True Dragon Clan over the Ye Clan is truly unwise.”
Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes, clenching his fists. “Master, I am a member of the Ye Clan. The Ye Clan is now in peril. How can I stand by and watch? Cultivation is cultivation. Everyone has different purposes. My purpose is to revitalise the Ye Clan and lead it to become a great clan in these heavens and earth.”
The aged voice said, “You are not the young master of the Ye Clan. That Ye Guan is…”
Ye Qing said calmly, “Previously, his strength surpassed mine, so he was young master. I accepted it, so I assisted him. If in the future my strength surpasses his, I will be young master. I believe Brother Ye Guan would accept it and assist me.”
As he spoke, he paused, then added, “Moreover, he and I are brothers. Whoever is young master is the same!”
