Inside the box was a sword!
Ye Xuan recognised this sword!
The Sword Ancestor!
His father’s companion!
Back then, this sword had accompanied him for a time!
He never expected to find it here!
That was why he was so shocked!
What was going on?
Could his father have left it here?
With questions in his heart, Ye Xuan picked up the sword. He examined it closely and said, “Sword Spirit?”
No response!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, slowly closing his eyes. Moments later, the sword spirit in his hand began to tremble faintly!
There was a response!
Seeing this, Fei Yu, standing nearby, narrowed her eyes, her gaze flickering as if lost in thought.
At that moment, the sword spirit in Ye Xuan’s hand suddenly turned into a beam of sword light and entered his forehead.
Soon, a sword appeared in Ye Xuan’s sea of consciousness!
Moments later, Ye Xuan said solemnly in his mind, “Sword Spirit, why are you here?”
After a long silence, the sword spirit’s voice sounded in Ye Xuan’s mind, “Waiting for you!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Waiting for me?”
The sword spirit said, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Did my father tell you to wait for me here?”
The sword spirit replied, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “What did my father ask you to wait for me to do?”
The sword spirit said, “To guide your growth!”
Ye Xuan was confused, “How did my father know I would come here?”
The sword spirit said, “Don’t ask so many questions. From now on, you will train with me!”
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, “I think that won’t be necessary!”
The sword spirit said, “You…”
At that point, the sword spirit’s voice stopped abruptly. The next moment, she exclaimed in shock, “You’ve reached the No-Path Realm…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Yes!”
The sword spirit fell silent. She hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to have reached the No-Path Realm! That shouldn’t be possible!
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, “Sword Spirit, go back to my father! I don’t need your guidance or your company anymore!”
The sword spirit sighed softly, “Are you holding a grudge because of what I said to you back then?”
When she had left Ye Xuan, she had bluntly criticised him, so she thought he was resentful!
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Not at all. It’s just that I truly don’t need you with me now! For cultivation, I have the Great Path Pen. As for swords, I have the Qingxuan Sword. You staying with me really serves no purpose! Don’t you think?”
The sword spirit was silent.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, the sword spirit suddenly said, “Your bloodline! Don’t you want to break through with your bloodline?”
Bloodline!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly. Since his bloodline reached the Unyielding level, its power had not progressed further!
His bloodline was too unique, making further advancement incredibly difficult!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan said, “Can you help me break through my bloodline?”
The sword spirit replied, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Then stay with me!”
The sword spirit: “…”
At that moment, Fei Yu suddenly said, “That sword chose you?”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Fei Yu, nodding, “Yes!”
Fei Yu said solemnly, “Why did it choose you?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “It has an eye for heroes!”
Fei Yu was stunned!
Ye Xuan smiled, “You’re not going back on your word, are you?”
Fei Yu glared at Ye Xuan, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thank you!”
Fei Yu said solemnly, “Can you tell me why it chose you? I want the truth!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, “I know it!”
Know it!
Fei Yu was stunned and wanted to ask more, but Ye Xuan smiled, “As for why we know each other, I don’t feel like saying just yet. I’ll tell you when I’m ready, how about that?”
Fei Yu thought for a moment, then nodded, “Fine!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Didn’t you say there was a sword manual too?”
Fei Yu shook her head with a smile, “You’re really greedy!”
With that, she led Ye Xuan to a stone pillar, picked up a box from it, and opened it, “Here!”
Ye Xuan looked at the sword manual. He opened his palm, and the manual flew into his hand. After flipping through it, his brows furrowed slightly!
The sword manual!
It contained six powerful sword techniques!
However, for him now, these six techniques were somewhat inadequate!
At his current level, he barely used sword techniques anymore!
Any casual swing of his sword carried the might to destroy heaven and earth!
Fei Yu suddenly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s alright!”
With that, he put it away.
Fei Yu looked at Ye Xuan, “Just alright?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Yes!”
Fei Yu was silent.
This sword manual was a supreme martial art, created by an ancient giant over a lifetime, yet in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it was merely alright!
Ye Xuan suddenly looked at Xing Ling nearby and smiled, “Miss Xing Ling, you pick something too!”
Xing Ling nodded slightly and looked at Fei Yu, her lips curving slightly, “Master, pick for me!”
Fei Yu rolled her eyes at Xing Ling, “You little sly one…”
With that, she pointed to a stone pillar on the right.
Xing Ling hurriedly walked to the pillar, picked up an iron box, and opened it. Soon, a smile spread across her face, and she quickly put the box away!
After stowing the box, Xing Ling looked at Fei Yu and gave a sweet smile, “Thank you, Master!”
Fei Yu smiled, “Let’s go!”
Xing Ling nodded.
Moments later, the three left the Martial Tower. As they were about to depart, Ye Xuan suddenly turned his head. Hundreds of yards to the right stood a sinister ancient tower.
An evil aura emanated from within!
Sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Fei Yu’s expression grew extremely grave!
At that moment, her heart was filled with unparalleled shock!
She hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to sense the powerful presence within that ancient tower!
This guy might not be at the Divine Knowledge Realm!
Could he be at the Path Knowledge Realm?
Impossible!
Fei Yu quickly dismissed the thought!
Ye Xuan was too young. If he were at the Path Knowledge Realm, that would be too terrifying!
At that moment, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and said, “Teacher Fei Yu, what’s that ancient tower?”
Fei Yu snapped out of her thoughts and said solemnly, “The academy’s forbidden zone!”
Forbidden zone!
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said no more.
Fei Yu suddenly asked, “What did you sense?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “Nothing!”
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Fei Yu gave Ye Xuan a deep look but said nothing.
Back at the courtyard, Ye Xuan entered the study again!
He continued reading!
Right now, he was only interested in reading!
Especially ancient texts. Though they weren’t cultivation secrets, they recorded many fascinating events.
Now, he also understood more about the history of the Galaxy Realm. The Galaxy Realm’s history was short, only about a million years. In the beginning, it was just a small world until Gu Baiyue arrived, founded the Galaxy Academy, and renamed the place the Galaxy Realm. From then on, the Galaxy Realm began to grow stronger!
Besides the Galaxy Realm, Ye Xuan also learned about surrounding universes through some ancient texts, including Xing Ling’s Xing Clan!
In this region of the cosmos, families were divided into ranks: third-tier, second-tier, first-tier, and super-first-tier powers!
The Xing Clan was a first-tier power!
Notably, the Galaxy Academy was also first-tier, but this place was rather special because it had a super powerhouse, Gu Baiyue!
This mysterious cultivator from the Galaxy!
She had a glorious record: fighting five opponents alone!
One against five ancient giants, and most astonishingly, she won!
That battle made Gu Baiyue’s name resound across the heavens!
One against five!
Ye Xuan fell into deep thought!
This was over a hundred thousand years ago. Back then, Gu Baiyue could fight five at once. That was truly remarkable!
Even he, at the Path Knowledge Realm, couldn’t have done that!
Of course, now he could, but that was due to realm suppression. Let alone one against five, he could take on dozens!
But in the same realm, he still couldn’t do it!
Clearly, this Gu Baiyue was an exceptionally remarkable super powerhouse!
He couldn’t underestimate anyone!
Ye Xuan’s expression grew quite serious!
In this world, besides the Three Swords, there were surely many other remarkable individuals. Not to mention others, that rogue Boundless Lord—he still couldn’t beat him!
Besides, there were many mysterious super powerhouses!
Though he was already at the No-Path Realm, far above others, he hadn’t forgotten a certain rule: no one stays unbeatable for more than three days!
He still needed to keep a low profile!
No, rather, he needed to raise his realm further and ensure it didn’t fall below the level of the current map!
With that thought, Ye Xuan closed the ancient text and said, “Little Pen, come out and chat!”
After a moment of silence, the Great Path Pen said, “Chat about what?”
Ye Xuan asked, “What’s the realm after No-Path?”
The Great Path Pen said solemnly, “Are you going to keep advancing?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Though I’m already quite invincible now, I still feel a bit of a crisis. So, I want to keep improving!”
The Great Path Pen sighed softly, “You’re already very strong!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Far from enough! I need to keep advancing! Tell me, what’s the realm after No-Path?”
After a moment of silence, the Great Path Pen said, “The legendary Heavenly Path Realm, where you become your own Heavenly Path. In other words, you are your own master. At this level, if the master is likened to a mortal emperor, a Heavenly Path Realm powerhouse is like a regional lord, one appointed by the master. To reach the Heavenly Path Realm, you must have the master’s approval. Without it, it’s impossible to reach that realm. Those who aim for the Heavenly Path Realm must pass the master’s numerous trials to prove themselves!”
It gave a mocking laugh, “Those who keep shouting about defying the heavens are just fools. The more they shout, the less likely they are to advance!”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “If I want to reach the Heavenly Path Realm, do I need your master’s approval too?”
In an instant, the Great Path Pen fell silent.
Would the master agree?
Under normal circumstances, definitely not!
But if this guy called for his sister…
The master…
…
