In front of An Ya, the old man lowered his head and dared not speak.
He was just an employee. He felt that Ye Guan was not simple, so he had cautiously offered a small suggestion.
Since she would not listen, he could only think, whatever you say is right, your An family is number one in the world, your An family is the greatest!
An Ya suddenly sat down. She picked up the teacup beside her, took a gentle sip, then said calmly, “You may leave!”
The old man bowed respectfully and withdrew.
At that moment, a woman suddenly walked out from the side!
An Daoxin!
Seeing An Daoxin, the icy expression on An Ya’s face immediately softened considerably.
An Daoxin sat down nearby and said calmly, “We did underestimate him a little! I never expected that he would actually become a Great Sword Immortal!”
An Ya nodded. “This person’s talent is truly rare. If the main academy discovers him and takes him to the main academy, it will be difficult to kill him then! Moreover, once this person reaches the main academy, with the cultivation resources there and his talent, it is not impossible for him to reach half-step Sword Sovereign!”
Sword Sovereign!
All trace of disdain vanished from An Daoxin’s eyes!
Let alone a Sword Sovereign, even a half-step Sword Sovereign carried weight that the An family could not ignore.
Because a genius monster of this level would surely be carefully nurtured by the main academy. At that time, the An family would truly find it hard to make a move!
After all, the main academy was not like the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
An Daoxin suddenly said, “Have the Academy advance the start of the Great Dao fortune contest!”
An Ya looked at An Daoxin. An Daoxin said calmly, “If we send people to kill him now, even if we succeed, we will invite criticism and gossip. Therefore, killing him during the fortune contest is the best timing.”
An Ya stared at An Daoxin. “Are you confident?”
An Daoxin smiled lightly. “Even if he is a Great Sword Immortal, I have absolute certainty!”
An Ya was stunned. “Absolute?”
An Daoxin nodded. “Absolute!”
An Ya asked, “Where does this absolute certainty come from?”
An Daoxin smiled faintly. She walked to the side, suddenly spread her right hand downward. In the next moment, the entire ground began to tremble violently. Immediately after, countless earth-coloured thunderbolts emerged from the earth. These earth-coloured thunderbolts danced wildly like silver snakes, emitting an extremely terrifying and powerful aura!
“Earth Divine Thunder!”
An Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said excitedly, “Daoxin, you have actually reached the Dharma Calamity realm! When did this happen?”
An Daoxin smiled. “Not long ago!”
A smile appeared on An Ya’s face. “It’s settled! However……”
At this point, she paused, then continued, “We still cannot be careless or underestimate the enemy.”
Dharma Calamity realm!
Ye Guan was currently only in the Space Shattering realm, and above Space Shattering was Void Annihilation realm, then Earth Dharma realm, then Heavenly Calamity realm, followed by Minor Calamity realm, then Great Calamity realm, and finally Dharma Calamity realm!
An Daoxin was a full six realms higher than Ye Guan!
Six realms!
What could Ye Guan use to compete with An Daoxin?
An Daoxin said calmly, “Family Head, rest assured. As long as he dares to participate in the Great Dao fortune contest, he will undoubtedly die! Because I am not alone. This time, several monsters competing for the Great Dao fortune are my friends! Before coming here, I have already communicated with them. This time, they will all stand on my side.”
As she spoke, she smiled lightly. “What does this era compete in? Family background, backing, connections! In family background, our An family has endured for tens of millions of years, produced two Martial Gods, and had extraordinary relationships with two people of destiny. This foundation, apart from those few super aristocratic families in the main academy, who can compare with us? Even those few super aristocratic families would not dare to take our An family lightly!”
At this point, she sneered. “In backing? Our An family has two Martial Gods. In connections? In the entire Guanxuan Universe today, which aristocratic family or power does not give our An family some face? What does he have to compare with us?”
Sense of superiority?
No!
In An Daoxin’s view, this was not a sense of superiority. This was a sense of honour! The innate sense of honour that every member of the An family possessed.
The An family had produced two Martial Gods. This honour was worth every An family member being proud of.
An Ya suddenly said, “To be safe, we must have this Great Dao fortune contest start earlier. Fortunately, the timing of previous Great Dao fortune contests has always had some flexibility. Changing it this time will not raise too many questions from outsiders!”
An Daoxin nodded. “That Head Gu can be considered one of us aristocratic families. We can speak with him. Of course, we can also have the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan pressure him.”
An Ya suddenly asked, “What is the attitude of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan this time?”
An Daoxin sneered coldly. “If not for their concern about Chief Ye, they would have long since rushed to the Zhongtu Divine Continent to tear that Ye Guan to pieces!”
Chief Ye!
At these words, An Ya’s face instantly darkened!
It was this very Chief Ye who had shown no face to the An family that day. She not only killed an An family elder but also directly removed the previous An family head. What infuriated them most was that this Chief Ye directly stripped the An family of their student quotas for entering the main academy!
This was simply fatal!
At this moment, An Ya suddenly said, “This Chief Ye is not just targeting our An family. She is targeting all aristocratic families. Family Head, rest assured. Now those few major families in the main academy have already begun suppressing her!”
An Ya’s expression was impassive. “This person’s heart is like that of a venomous scorpion. Why do those few major families in the main academy allow her to live in this world?”
An Daoxin said gravely, “Family Head, be cautious with your words!”
An Ya had never been to the main academy and did not know the deterrent power of this Chief Ye there!
Even those few super aristocratic families had to be polite when facing this Chief Ye.
As for making a move against her?
That was something they could only think about!
Not to mention anything else, her master was currently the head of the Literary Academy, with a large group of super great Confucian cultivators under her. These people usually studied scholarship and rarely got involved in academy affairs, but if anyone dared to touch Ye Guanzhi, these great Confucian cultivators would absolutely not agree!
Moreover, not to mention that the Chief of the Scholarly Sages Academy was a Great Confucian Sage!
In addition, Chief Qingqiu was Ye Guanzhi’s senior sister!
She could be suppressed, but she could not be killed!
After a moment of silence, An Ya said, “Are we just going to let her target our aristocratic families like this?”
An Daoxin shook her head. “Of course not. The reason those aristocratic families are helping our An family this time is precisely to suppress this Chief Ye! This time, it is no longer just a dispute between our An family and Ye Guan. It is a dispute between the aristocratic family group and the academy faction represented by Chief Ye.”
An Ya nodded slightly. “I understand!”
Although she was the An family head, she was not qualified to go to the main Guanxuan Academy. Therefore, she knew far less than An Daoxin!
An Ya continued, “This time, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan has also sent a genius to the Zhongtu Divine Continent!”
An Ya was slightly stunned. “They have sent someone too?”
An Ya nodded. “It is an extremely monstrous genius from the younger generation of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan. The purpose of his coming this time is to join me in slaying this Ye Guan.”
An Ya smiled. “That is excellent!”
An Daoxin said, “Family Head, you should personally make a trip to the Zhongtu Divine Continent and have that Head Gu arrange it. Advance the start of the Great Dao fortune contest. The sooner the better, to avoid any complications!”
An Ya nodded and stood up. “I will go now!”
With that, she turned and vanished on the spot.
In place, An Daoxin was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly. “This time, that Chief Ye will not come to protect you!”
…
Inside the Xuan Tower.
At this point, Ye Guan had reached fifty-five times spatial pressure.
It had to be said that the higher one went, the more terrifying the difficulty became. Even for him, when he had just entered this fifty-five times space, he had nearly failed to withstand it!
That spatial pressure was as if several great mountains were pressing on his body, nearly suffocating him!
And so, after enduring for about half an hour, Ye Guan began to move! As usual, at the beginning, it was very slow, very slow. Gradually, his speed began to increase, and faster and faster!
About half a day later, Ye Guan’s speed gradually returned to normal. At this moment, his face was pale as paper, and his spirit was stretched taut like a fully drawn bowstring.
The spatial pressure here was truly too terrifying!
Persist!
Ye Guan gritted his teeth tightly. In his mind, there was only one belief: persist!
He knew that giving up would be very simple. If he let go now, he could immediately become very relaxed.
But he also knew that if he let go, he would have failed this trial!
Moreover, if he encountered similar difficulties in the future, the thought of giving up would rise again!
Persist!
Persist a little longer!
Ye Guan slowly swung the sword in his hand. His qi sword was already distorted and deformed under the powerful spatial pressure, extremely alarming.
And so, another two hours passed. At this moment, his speed was no different from outside.
Success!
Ye Guan put down the qi sword in his hand. The moment his hand relaxed, the qi sword immediately shattered, then dissipated bit by bit!
If it had not been held by Ye Guan, this qi sword would have shattered long ago!
The reason it had not shattered was entirely supported by Ye Guan’s will.
Even Ye Guan himself had not noticed that his will had quietly undergone a tremendous change.
On the ground, Ye Guan lay down, his eyes slightly closed.
Because after succeeding, the spatial pressure in the field had vanished. Now, he felt very relaxed, unprecedentedly relaxed, even with a feeling of rebirth.
He knew that he had once again broken through his limits!
Not only had he broken through his limits in speed, but he had also broken through his limits in will!
Young people should:
Never give up!
Never accept defeat!
At this moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “How do you feel?”
Ye Guan grinned. “Very refreshing!”
It had to be said, he truly felt very refreshing at this moment.
Little Tower said, “Do you want to break through your realm? If your realm breaks through, your divine soul power will become much stronger, and your overall strength will receive a huge boost!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Not for now!”
Little Tower was puzzled. “Why?”
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. “I want to break through in battle!”
Battle!
Little Tower fell silent.
It had actually not told Ye Guan that as long as he had one true battle, he could directly step into true Sword Sovereign!
What he lacked now was actually a world-shaking battle that could allow him to prove Sword Sovereign!
At this moment, Ye Guan suddenly said softly, “If I encounter that Liu Bing again, I am confident I could instantly kill him!”
Little Tower smiled. “What if you encounter that Miss Ye Guanzhi?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
After a moment, Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. “Tower Lord, I feel I am still not strong enough! I must cultivate! I must cultivate hard!”
Little Tower was speechless.
Damn it!
This guy could not take any criticism. Any criticism made him want to cultivate.
It really wanted to say, little one, you are actually already very, very strong!
But on second thought, it decided against it!
Having a sense of crisis was not a bad thing!
Just then, the space in front of him trembled slightly. In the next moment, Qin Feng’s voice came through!
After a moment, Ye Guan suddenly sat up. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand slowly clenched!
The Great Dao fortune contest had been brought forward!
It would begin in just one month!
One month later!
Ye Guan said gravely, “Tower Lord, the finals have been advanced! I cannot lie low anymore!”
Little Tower: “……”
