The Three Swords!
Little Ai glanced at Qin Guan, hesitating as if she wanted to say something.
Qin Guan smiled, “Are you thinking I could cultivate myself?”
Little Ai nodded.
Qin Guan shook her head, “I don’t like cultivating. The path of cultivation is too lonely, too dull. I want to do many meaningful things in my limited life!”
Little Ai suddenly asked, “Will Master die?”
Qin Guan gave her a look, “Who can live forever?”
Little Ai fell silent.
Qin Guan looked up at the depths of the starry sky, saying softly, “Little Xuan should be almost done!”
Boom!
At that moment, a massive sound echoed from the depths of the starry sky above Kyoto, followed by a violent tremor in the sky.
Seeing this, Qin Guan’s lips curved slightly, “Looks like he did it!”
Buzz!
A sword hum suddenly resounded from the starry depths. The next moment, a sword light landed in front of Qin Guan and Little Ai!
As the sword light dissipated, Ye Xuan appeared before the two women!
Qin Guan sized up Ye Xuan and smiled, “You did it?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
He had now cultivated an elemental physique. While he couldn’t be immune to all elemental forces in the world, most elemental forces could no longer harm him.
Moreover, he had mastered Elder Li’s special technique: the Indestructible Diamond Body!
When activated, his physical body would reach a terrifying level of strength.
Qin Guan looked at him, “Want to test it?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Sure!”
Qin Guan patted his shoulder, then rode her sword into the sky. Ye Xuan followed closely. Soon, they arrived in a desolate star field.
Qin Guan glanced around, then opened her palm, revealing a star bomb.
Seeing it, Ye Xuan’s expression shifted slightly.
Qin Guan smiled, “No resisting!”
With that, she released the star bomb, which flew straight at Ye Xuan!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he could only trust Elder Li!
Boom!
Suddenly, the desolate star field trembled violently as a mushroom cloud shot into the sky, piercing the deepest reaches of the stars.
Waves of energy surged outward!
After a long time, the surroundings calmed. Ye Xuan appeared before Qin Guan, completely unscathed!
Seeing this, Qin Guan was slightly stunned, then smiled, “Let’s try again!”
She opened her palm, and a blood-red bomb appeared.
Little Boy!
Seeing it, Ye Xuan’s expression froze. He hesitated, then said, “Do we have to test like this?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes! Only if you can withstand this bomb will it mean your body surpasses Mingxin and the others.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, “Bring it on!”
Without hesitation, Qin Guan ignited the Little Boy.
Whoosh!
A blood-red light flashed across the field.
In the distance, Ye Xuan stared at the Little Boy, hands clenched, undeniably nervous. This was his first time using Elder Li’s technique, and he wasn’t sure how reliable his body was!
But he had seen the Little Boy’s power firsthand!
In front of a God Tribulation Realm cultivator, it was nothing but dust!
As he thought, a terrifying force erupted before him.
Boom!
A massive mushroom cloud soared into the sky, instantly reducing the visible star field to ashes.
After a long, long time, the shockwaves dissipated. A sword light flashed through the field!
Rip!
A tearing sound echoed!
Ye Xuan appeared before Qin Guan in the distance, still unscathed, though his clothes were completely gone!
Ye Xuan exclaimed excitedly, “I’m fine! Haha!”
Qin Guan pointed at him, “Maybe put some clothes on first?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze, and he hurriedly dressed.
Qin Guan glanced at a certain part of him, then shrugged, looking unimpressed.
Once dressed, Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, thrilled, “I withstood it!”
Qin Guan nodded, “Very good! Your body is now nearly impervious to damage!”
She glanced around, continuing, “Now, it’s time to break through your realm!”
Realm!
Ye Xuan was stunned, then asked, “How do I do that?”
Qin Guan opened her palm, revealing a sword—the one she had poured money into!
Looking at Ye Xuan, she said, “You can absorb swords, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Qin Guan smiled, “Are you ready?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You want me to absorb your money-infused sword?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “If I absorb it, what will you use?”
Qin Guan waved her right hand, and tens of thousands of swords appeared in the field!
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Qin Guan laughed, “Come on, let’s begin!”
With that, she pointed, and the tens of thousands of swords turned into sword lights, rushing toward Ye Xuan!
Each sword unleashed its most terrifying power!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan said no more. He spread his arms, letting the swords merge into his body!
Boom, boom, boom…
Soon, Ye Xuan was completely engulfed by sword lights.
Boom!
Suddenly, terrifying auras erupted from within him!
Qin Guan called out, “Activate the array!”
Boom!
In Kyoto below, nearly a million swords shot into the sky, their lights soaring toward the heavens, converging above Ye Xuan’s head before piercing into him one by one!
And it didn’t stop there. From Kyoto’s powerful sword array, after releasing a million swords, a colossal sword nearly ten thousand zhang long rose up!
When this giant sword entered Ye Xuan’s body, he looked up sharply, feeling like he was going mad!
Terrifying forces flooded into him. If his body hadn’t been strengthened, he’d have burst!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Absorb!”
Ye Xuan frantically absorbed the swords’ power!
Below, the sword array kept running, with money-infused swords continuously shooting upward, gathering above Ye Xuan.
In Kyoto, countless people looked into the starry depths, bewildered.
What was going on?
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan’s voice trembled, “Miss Qin, I can’t hold on much longer!”
Qin Guan looked at him, “Hold on. You’re at the limit of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Realm. Break through this threshold, and you’ll reach the God Tribulation Realm!”
Ye Xuan clenched his fists, trembling, “I feel like my body’s going to explode!”
Qin Guan said gravely, “You must remember one thing: you won’t die!”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then asked, “Why not?”
Qin Guan said, “You’re the Chosen One. You won’t die, no matter what! You might suffer, but until the next Chosen One appears, you won’t die. So don’t be afraid, don’t waver. One word: do it! Got it?”
Ye Xuan’s voice shook, “You… you’re not tricking me, are you?”
Qin Guan smiled, “What do you think?”
Ye Xuan said, “I trust you!”
With that, he clenched his fists tightly, roaring, “Come on! Make it even more intense! I won’t die!”
Qin Guan turned to the array below, “Keep activating the array!”
Below, the sword array continued, with sword lights shooting up relentlessly.
In a short time, tens of millions of swords had flown out!
And Ye Xuan had absorbed them all.
He felt like he was about to explode, but he wasn’t afraid, wasn’t timid.
One thought filled his mind: I’m the Chosen One, I won’t die!
Ye Xuan burst into wild laughter, “Come on! More!”
Qin Guan nodded, “Good!”
She looked down, “Speed it up!”
With her command, the sword array below trembled violently, and the swords’ speed surged.
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan’s voice shook, “Maybe… slow down a bit?”
Qin Guan said seriously, “Don’t be afraid, you won’t die!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
This continued for days until, at one moment, a terrifying sword aura erupted from Ye Xuan’s body!
Boom!
Instantly, the surrounding swords shattered, and a fearsome aura swept through the field.
God Tribulation Realm!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and an intent sword appeared. He looked at it, eyes full of excitement!
At this moment, he felt invincible!
Qin Guan sized him up, then nodded, “Not bad!”
Ye Xuan suddenly turned and slashed out with a sword.
Rip!
A sword aura flashed by!
Where his eyes could see, the starry sky split into a bottomless chasm, as if his sword had cleaved the entire galaxy in two.
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, thrilled, “That’s awesome!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Pretty good!”
She turned, “Little Ai!”
With her call, a woman appeared before her—Little Ai.
Little Ai held a sword box and walked to Ye Xuan, handing it to him.
Ye Xuan looked at the box, gently tapping it with two fingers.
Buzz!
A sword hum echoed from within, and the next moment, the Qingxuan Sword appeared before him!
The Qingxuan Sword was now a deep cyan, its appearance largely unchanged, but it bore two eerie blood-red runes on both sides of the blade. Additionally, a crimson-gold rune adorned the hilt!
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, who smiled, “The runes on the blade represent two arrays. The front one is the Dao Law Array, containing over a million laws and principles. When you wield the Qingxuan Sword, you’re wielding the power of those million laws and principles. One light swing equals the power of ten Little Boys!”
Ye Xuan was stunned!
Qin Guan continued, “The back is the Three Lives Array, an offensive array, because the best defence is offence, so I didn’t give you a defensive array. When activated, it draws on the power of past, present, and future lives—not yours, but the nebulous lives of all beings, existing between heaven and earth. We’ve gathered these forces into the sword through the array for you to command!”
She smiled faintly, “If you wield these three forces, your previous techniques of Severing Past and Future will become even more unpredictable. This array was made just for you! With your sword skills, one word: uncanny! Elusive and deadly! You’re still alive, but your enemy’s already dead!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked at the hilt.
Qin Guan’s lips curved, “The array in the hilt…”
…
