The Strongest!
Ye Xuan was curious, “What kind of formation?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Myriad Swords Return!”
Ye Xuan froze.
Qin Guan laughed, “The hilt of this sword contains a hidden special space. Inside that space are billions of unique divine swords. Once you activate it, those billions of swords will burst out instantly!”
Her lips curled slightly, “Once unleashed, nothing survives!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Are there any side effects?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes! When the billion swords are released, to maximize their power, you need to control them with your mental strength and your Mortal Sword Intent. Doing so will be extremely taxing. I estimate that with your current mental strength and control over Mortal Sword Intent, you can only use it once every three days.”
Once every three days!
Ye Xuan nodded, “That’s enough!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Indeed! Also, you can normally nurture the swords in the formation with your Mortal Sword Intent. These swords can improve, but that depends on your sword intent!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Nurturing swords!”
Qin Guan nodded, “Exactly!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Good!”
Qin Guan turned to Xiao Ai, who opened her palm, revealing a pitch-black box. She handed it to Ye Xuan. Curious, he opened it to find a thin, cicada-wing-like armor inside.
The armor was extremely thin, entirely black, and appeared unremarkable at first glance.
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, who smiled, “This is a battle armor specially crafted for you, called the Guanxuan Armor!”
Guanxuan Armor!
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Qin Guan laughed heartily, “I made it, you wear it, so it’s called Guanxuan Armor. Any problem?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “None!”
Qin Guan nodded, “This armor uses over a million special materials, the most unique being Erya’s scales, still the toughest material in the universe and the most precious. Additionally, the armor contains tens of millions of defensive micro-formations. When attacked, these formations activate automatically to resist external forces.”
Tens of millions!
Ye Xuan was shocked. He hadn’t expected this small piece of armor to contain tens of millions of formations!
Qin Guan smiled, “With this, you hold the sharpest sword and the strongest shield. For now, it’ll be hard for you to die!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the Qingxuan Sword and Guanxuan Armor in his hands, his lips curling slightly, “I feel like I’m about to be invincible!”
Qin Guan laughed, “Getting a bit cocky, huh?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Yeah!”
Qin Guan said, “Put on the Guanxuan Armor!”
Ye Xuan nodded. He opened his palm, and the Guanxuan Armor flew into his hand. The next moment, it turned into a white light and merged into his brow!
Boom!
Instantly, countless tiny scales appeared on Ye Xuan’s body, each etched with countless invisible runes!
Not only that, the scales enveloped him completely, leaving no blind spots!
Yet, Ye Xuan felt no discomfort. The scales felt like his own skin, incredibly comfortable!
He looked at Qin Guan, “Can I test the Guanxuan Armor with my Qingxuan Sword?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Don’t!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Qin Guan smiled, “It’ll be a lose-lose situation!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
Qin Guan called out, “Chen Wu!”
An old man appeared—it was Chen Wu from the Martial Pavilion.
Chen Wu approached Ye Xuan, holding two scrolls. “Young Master Ye, these two scrolls represent two sword techniques. The first is your Instant Invincibility. We haven’t altered it but have devised a better cultivation method for you. By following our method, you can unleash its full power! The second technique was tailored for you per the Cabinet Master’s request. We know your Qingxuan Sword can traverse spacetime, so we created a special technique for you: Selfless!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “Selfless?”
Chen Wu nodded, “When you activate the Qingxuan Sword, it creates a special spacetime region with a million-mile diameter. Within this region, your spacetime traversal speed increases tenfold. In this scenario, it’s nearly impossible for enemies to hit you, while you can appear anywhere in an instant. This effectively suppresses your opponent’s speed while boosting yours.”
Ye Xuan’s expression grew serious.
The Qingxuan Sword could already traverse spacetime at high speed. If it could be ten times faster… wouldn’t that mean he could achieve a true instant kill?
This was incredible!
Chen Wu added, “Young Master Ye, both techniques come with specialized cultivation methods. Follow them, and you’ll achieve twice the results with half the effort!”
Ye Xuan took the scrolls, looked at Chen Wu, and said sincerely, “Thank you!”
Chen Wu smiled faintly and stepped aside.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan, “Go cultivate in the small tower! Hurry, we don’t have much time!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Has the Boundless Lord made a move?”
Qin Guan nodded, “A big move. The Guanxuan Universe is about to change. I’ve already sent all the powerhouses from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Wait for me!”
Without further ado, he entered the small tower.
In the field, Qin Guan’s expression grew slightly serious.
Xiao Ai looked at her, “Are you worried, Master?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes!”
She glanced around, then said softly, “Be extra cautious from now on… Activate Level 10 alert. Without my authorization, anyone approaching this place is to be obliterated!”
Xiao Ai nodded, “Understood!”
Qin Guan added, “Prepare more ammunition for me!”
Xiao Ai nodded slightly, “Alright!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Also, from now on, provide unconditional, unrestricted support to the Guanxuan Universe, including our entire intelligence network and teleportation arrays.”
Xiao Ai nodded, “Got it!”
Qin Guan turned to look into the depths of the starry sky, a trace of worry in her eyes.
The enemy!
This time, the enemy was different.
Because the Boundless Lord was once a Chosen One. What was a Chosen One?
Ye Xuan was a Chosen One!
And the Green Shirt Sword Master was a Chosen One!
Every Chosen One had a cheat!
What was the Boundless Lord’s cheat?
Qin Guan fell into deep thought.
At that moment, a phantom appeared—it was Dark Lord. He bowed deeply to Qin Guan, “Cabinet Master, something’s happening in the Guanxuan Universe!”
Qin Guan put away the small tower and said, “To the Guanxuan Universe!”
As if remembering something, she turned to Xiao Ai, “You stay and guard this place!”
Xiao Ai bowed slightly.
Qin Guan vanished on the spot.
…
Guanxuan Universe.
A day earlier, a strange vortex appeared directly above the Guanxuan Academy, causing the entire academy to go on high alert!
Inside the academy, Qingqiu looked up at the vortex, silent.
Beside her was Ding Shaoyao, with Shu Xian and Zhang Shi behind them.
Ding Shaoyao said softly, “The Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s spies say the Boundless Lord has withdrawn to the Ancient Qi Sect in the northern part of the Boundless Universe. This vortex likely comes from the mysterious Alien God Clan!”
Qingqiu nodded.
Ding Shaoyao’s eyes flashed with worry, “It seems the Boundless Lord plans to ally with foreign forces to oppose us!”
Qingqiu remained silent.
Ding Shaoyao turned to her, “If you regain your full strength, what happens?”
Qingqiu was silent for a moment, then said, “I’d be arranged.”
Ding Shaoyao frowned, “By the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Qingqiu nodded.
Ding Shaoyao was puzzled, “Doesn’t Tian Ming appear often? She…”
Qingqiu turned to her, “She’s different. She’s so special that even the Master of the Great Dao Pen wouldn’t dare arrange her lightly. But for the rest of us…”
She shook her head, “Our ultimate enemy might well be the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Ding Shaoyao’s eyes widened, “How is that possible?”
Qingqiu said softly, “Why not? The Master of the Great Dao Pen rules everything in this world, the source of all cause and effect. Now, more and more people are breaking free…”
She shook her head slightly, “If I regain my full strength, I won’t be able to stay by Brother’s side. Even those three had to compromise in the end.”
Ding Shaoyao said gravely, “Is he that strong?”
Qingqiu smiled faintly, “You’re not versed in the ways of cultivation, so it’s normal not to sense his terror!”
She looked up at the distant sky, “If not for that, would the Boundless Lord dare to challenge us?”
Ding Shaoyao was about to speak when the vortex in the sky trembled violently. Soon, waves of mysterious aura surged down from the black vortex.
Seeing this, Qingqiu’s brows furrowed slightly.
Ding Shaoyao’s expression grew serious as well!
Clearly, the enemy was coming!
At that moment, a tearing sound came from the black vortex, and a man floated out!
After emerging, he scanned his surroundings, smiling faintly, “Who is the Backer King?”
His lips curled, “I’m here to kill him!”
Below, Qingqiu suddenly pointed at herself, “That’s me!”
The man’s gaze landed on Qingqiu. The next moment, he grinned, “I’ll kill you!”
With that, his figure trembled, and he threw a punch at Qingqiu.
The next moment, Qingqiu soared into the sky!
Swish!
A flash of sword light, and the man’s head flew off!
Blood arced beautifully through the air!
After slaying the man with one strike, Qingqiu turned to the Boundless Lord in the depths of the starry sky, saying earnestly, “I didn’t break the agreement. You saw it! He attacked first. Our agreement didn’t say I can’t fight back, right?”
In the starry depths, the Boundless Lord was silent for a moment, then said, “If you choose to be shameless, I have nothing to say!”
Everyone: “…”
