To be honest, it really was possible!
All along the way, the owner of the Dao Brush had dug quite a few pits for him!
Not mentioning the distant past, just recently there were the divine spirits and now this Universe Spirit!
Was this fellow insane?
Why did he keep targeting only him?
Did he have to play it like this?
Qin Guan also shook her head with a laugh.
She had realised that the owner of the Dao Brush probably wanted to oppose the Universe Spirit too, but was simply unable to do anything about it!
Let Destiny fight it?
The owner of the Dao Brush definitely would not dare!
Destiny would never give him any face!
The only option was Ye Xuan!
Only through Ye Xuan could anyone confront those divine spirits and this Universe Spirit!
And facts had proved that the owner of the Dao Brush had succeeded!
For Ye Xuan’s sake, Destiny had finally gone and beaten the Universe Spirit into submission!
Ye Xuan suddenly shook his head. “I feel like he’s screwed me over!”
Qin Guan laughed. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “If anything happens to me, I’m definitely dragging him down with me!”
At that moment, the little tower suddenly spoke. “Little Master, the owner of the Dao Brush already appeared countless ages ago! You can ask Little Brush about what happened in the previous cycle!”
Little Brush immediately replied, “I only appeared in this civilisation. I really don’t know anything about before!”
The little tower said gravely, “Little Master, I seriously suspect Little Brush is a spy sent by the owner of the Dao Brush. You really have to be careful of it. If it betrays you at a critical moment, we’ll be in big trouble!”
Little Brush said, “Little Tower, can you stop settling personal scores?”
Little Tower replied, “I think you’re the one with treacherous intentions!”
Little Brush shot back, “You’re the treacherous one!”
The little tower was about to say more when Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “Stop arguing over this!”
With that, he looked at the Daoist temple. “Let’s go inside and take a look!”
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan walked into the temple. The interior was still very spacious. There were more than a dozen smaller temples inside, as well as one extremely majestic Daoist pagoda that stood a full thousand zhang tall.
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan entered a grand hall. Inside stood a statue of the owner of the Dao Brush!
Ye Xuan glanced at the statue’s right hand. It was empty. There was no Dao Brush!
Clearly, Little Brush had not lied!
In the statues and portraits he had seen before, the owner of the Dao Brush always held the Dao Brush!
At this point, Qin Guan walked over to the incense table. On it sat a black box!
Just as she was about to open it, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Let me!”
Qin Guan looked at him. Ye Xuan smiled. “Nobody can kill me!”
With that, he opened the box directly. Inside lay a pitch-black storage ring.
Ye Xuan picked it up and sent his divine sense inside. Soon he froze. Within the ring were actually several million Spirit Origin crystals!
Several million Spirit Origin crystals!
He had to admit, this was truly an enormous fortune!
One had to realise that condensing even a single Spirit Origin crystal might require the vital essence of countless powerhouses, unless it came from a supreme expert!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “What does the owner of the Dao Brush mean by this?”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “He probably knew we would come here and left it specially for us!”
As she spoke, she smoothly took the storage ring from Ye Xuan’s hand and slipped it into her own little pouch.
The motion was fluid and natural!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
You just took it like that?
Speechless!
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “You know I really need money. Don’t worry, the money is still yours. I’m just keeping it safe for you!”
Ye Xuan stayed silent.
Qin Guan immediately changed the subject. “Anyway, with this money we can do a lot of things!”
Spirit Origin crystals!
These counted as the highest-level currency in the current Guanxuan Universe!
Several million of them was truly a huge amount. Even those divine spirits would probably struggle to produce so many!
Ye Xuan glanced at the statue of the owner of the Dao Brush but said nothing.
Qin Guan continued, “Actually, all the signs show that the owner of the Dao Brush is protecting this universe. He also wants to oppose the divine spirits and this Universe Spirit. For us, that is already enough!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Indeed!”
Qin Guan added, “Let’s look around elsewhere. See if he left anything else!”
Ye Xuan nodded. The two left the hall. After walking around for a while, they finally arrived at a scripture pavilion. The moment they entered, both of them froze!
The pavilion was packed densely with ancient texts!
Ye Xuan casually picked up a scroll. After reading for a short while, he said softly, “They all record the civilisation from back then!”
Qin Guan nodded. “It seems the owner of the Dao Brush wanted future generations to know the history that once existed!”
Ye Xuan nodded. After a moment, he collected every single ancient text. These could be stored in the Guanxuan Academy for people to read!
At that moment, the little elf suddenly asked, “You like these kinds of books?”
Ye Xuan looked at her. The little elf smiled. “I know another place that also has lots of books like these. That place is quite special. It was the most powerful sect on this continent back then!”
Ye Xuan was rather surprised. “The most powerful sect?”
The little elf nodded. “Yes! During the great battle, the powerhouses of that sect fought the most tragically. They self-detonated one after another to attack the Universe Spirit, but unfortunately none of them managed to harm it!”
Ye Xuan said, “Take us there!”
The little elf nodded. “Okay!”
With that, she flew outside!
As they left the Daoist temple, Ye Xuan turned back for one last look. He felt rather emotional!
The Dao Sect!
Back in its day, it must have been incomparably glorious. Not just the Dao Sect, all the forces on this continent back then must have been glorious too. Yet after a hundred billion years, everything had turned to dust in history!
One day the Academy would probably end up the same, right?
At that thought, Ye Xuan’s gaze suddenly became a little lost.
What could truly endure forever?
Perhaps only the Dao!
Even after countless cycles of annihilation, the Dao still existed between heaven and earth!
Not an individual’s Dao, but the Dao of this universe!
People, all things, even this Universe Spirit, might merely be passing travellers in the vast cosmos!
If one wished not to be buried by history!
There was only one path!
Break into godhood!
Reach the same height as Qing’er and the others!
With that thought, Ye Xuan’s fists slowly clenched.
Since he had already cultivated to this point, if he did not break into godhood, what meaning was there?
Just then, Qin Guan suddenly said, “Looking at all this, are you thinking that one day the Academy might end up the same way?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Qin Guan smiled. “No need to think so far ahead. Just do what our generation needs to do! As for the future, that is for later generations to handle!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “That’s true too. Each generation handles its own affairs, just like my old man. He only does what his generation needs to do!”
Qin Guan nodded. “Exactly. So don’t worry too much!”
At that moment, the little elf suddenly pointed into the distance. “Look over there!”
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan looked. At the very end of the horizon, a ferocious beast was roaring furiously.
Ye Xuan turned to the little elf. She said gravely, “It’s the Universe Spirit’s pet!”
With that, she had already retreated behind Ye Xuan and Qin Guan, then gently pushed Ye Xuan’s arm. “You go! I’ll cheer for you!”
Ye Xuan’s face instantly darkened.
