I Have A Sword

Chapter 222: The True God Is Invincible Without The Three Swords

On Mount Unyielding, Ye Gugan suddenly came to a stop. He opened his palm, and the Path Sword appeared. The Path Sword was quivering, and Ye Guan was surprised to find that its tremors were becoming stronger over time.

There’s something wrong! Ye Guan hurriedly asked, “Master Pagoda, what’s going on?”

Little Pagoda didn’t reply. He asked the mysterious voice, “W-What’s going on?”

The mysterious voice replied, “I think… I think the Three Swords are fighting each other.”

“What?!” Little Pagoda was flustered. “Why are they fighting now of all times? What are we going to do with the True God if they continue fighting? My goodness…”

The mysterious voice was silent.

Little Pagoda asked nervously, “No... Master and Plain-Skirt Sister were holding it in because of the Young Master. However, the Young Master has already taken that step, so there’s no need for them to hold back, but… what about the True God?”

The mysterious voice’s reply came a bit late as she said, “The True God is invincible in the True Universe. The Sword Master is incredible, but the True God is in the True Universe. She also has many Cosmic Spirits whom she can summon anytime she wishes. I really can’t predict what’s going to happen from now on.”

Little Pagoda asked, “How strong is the True God?”

The mysterious voice answered, “I only know that if the Three Swords fought each other, neither the True God nor the Sword Master would be able to kill each other. Even if he can kill the True God, he won’t dare—no, he can’t kill her. The True God is still trying to conquer the universe as well…”

The mysterious voice paused for a while before continuing. “Two great battles are unfolding, and Ye Guan will soon be in trouble.”

Little Pagoda fell into deep thought. The strongest people he knew were fighting each other because of internal strife, and the Sword Master was inadvertently dragged into the fight.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan had to face the entire True Universe…

Little Pagoda finally understood why its Old Master sent the Yang Family members here. There was a high chance that the Old Master saw it coming—an internal strife between the Three Swords erupting into a massive fight to the death!

Yes, a fight to the death! They weren’t messing around. Goodness!

Little Pagoda was panicking.

Ye Guan had no one to rely on anymore.

Ye Guan asked once again, “Master Pagoda, what’s going on?”

Little Pagoda was silent, and the mysterious voice hurriedly said, “Hide it from him in the meantime.”

Little Pagoda finally answered Ye Guan after a moment of silence.

“Nothing. Don’t overthink it,” he said.

Ye Guan frowned. He could feel that Little Pagoda was lying to him.

He looked at the trembling Path Sword and soon stored it away.

He has to become even stronger as soon as possible. Little Pagoda muttered, “Little one, you have to work hard. You have to work really, really hard…”

Little Pagoda had been calm and composed until now. What could Great Daoist Brush Master and the True God do under the deterrence of the Three Swords?

However, the Three Swords ended up fighting each other.

Little Pagoda couldn’t stay calm anymore.

After a while, Ye Guan said, “Master Pagoda, I’ll keep working hard!”

He was about to dash toward the summit once more when a young man suddenly stopped him. The young man looked at Ye Guan carefully. He hesitated for a while before asking, “What are you doing?”

Puzzled, Ye Guan replied, “Cultivating.”

The young man stared at Ye Guan and asked, “You’re supposed to try and comprehend the Everlasting Will at the summit of the mountain, and when it appears, you’re supposed to temper your will.

“If you continue what you’re doing, you’re going to kill all of us.”

Ye Guan replied, “I’m done comprehending it.”

The young man was stunned by the revelation.

“You’re done?” he asked.

Ye Guan nodded.

The young man stared intently at Ye Guan before asking, “What have you comprehended? Can you share it with me?”

Ye Guan sounded serious as he replied, “It’s not much. I just realized that there’s no point in just thoughts. You have to act on your thoughts. Thoughts are the foundation, but executing that thought is the key—”

Ye Guan suddenly thought of something, and he approached the young man. A sword appeared in his hand behind him, and he stared at the young man cautiously before asking, “Are you from the True Universe?”

Ye Guan had to be cautious, and he had no plans of keeping his enemies close to him.

The young man suddenly grew alert upon realizing that Ye Guan had suddenly become hostile to him. He retreated a few meters away and said, “I’m not from the True Universe. “I’m from the Xuan World, and it’s one of the many worlds out there.””

Ye Guan frowned and asked, “The Xuan World?”

“Indeed,” said the young man with a nod.

“How about you?” the young man asked, “Where are you from?”

“I’m from the Guanxuan Universe!” Ye Guan replied.

A universe?! The young man jumped in surprise, and he muttered, “The Guanxuan Universe…”

Ye Guan nodded in confirmation.

The young man frowned.

Ye Guan saw that and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The young man calmly explained, “The True Universe has only acknowledged four universes so far, and only those four universes are qualified to call themselves a universe. They’re the Panwu Universe, the Wujian Universe, the Heaven Seizing Universe, and finally, the Guanxuan Universe.

Ye Guan frowned and asked, “Just four universes?”

The young man nodded. He looked at Ye Guan curiously and asked, “You have no idea?”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “This is news to me.”

The young man was visibly confused. “What I just told you is common knowledge; how come you don’t know them? I’m sure you have a great family background considering your level of strength.”

Ye Guan cupped his fist and said, “Please enlighten me.”

The young man stared at Ye Guan and said, “The largest universe is the True Universe and below them are the four universes. There are too many worlds unaffiliated with the four universes and the True Universe that it’s impossible to count them.

”However, there are quite a few notable ones, and they’re called Ten Worlds and Ten Heavens.”

Ye Guan frowned and asked, “How come there are only a few universes?”

“No, it’s not that there are only a few universes,” The young man shook his head and explained, “A group of worlds has to be recognized by the True Universe for them to be called a universe. I actually know of a few worlds that are bigger than the Guanxuan Universe.

”Anyway, your universe has had quite a few outstanding talents, such as the Sword Master. The Sword Master fought his way to the deepest reaches of the True Universe and instantly grew famous. His feat made the True Universe acknowledge the Guanxuan Universe as a universe rather than just a world.”

The Sword Master! Ye Guan couldn’t help but smile.

He felt gratified to know that his father had many admirers. It wasn’t strange as families often took pride in having great generals among them.

Of course, Ye Guan knew his father’s glory belonged to his father alone. Ye Guan respected his father, and he was proud of the latter. However, he wouldn’t claim his father’s glory for himself. He would obtain his own glory.

“Ah!” the young man exclaimed before saying, “The Guanxuan Universe is the only universe exempted from paying tribute to the True Universe.”

Ye Guan frowned and asked, “Tribute?”

The young man smiled bitterly and said, “You probably don’t know since your universe doesn’t have to pay, but the subordinate worlds have to pay tribute to the True Universe. Otherwise, the True Universe would send an army to make us pay.

”From what I heard, the True Universe has done the same thing to the Guanxuan Universe a few times before, but the Guanxuan Universe remained steadfast. You grew up in an incredible place!”

Ye Guan went silent as he recalled the swords in the Sword Sect’s tomb. Those swords represented the death of a swordsman. Of course, the Sword Sect wasn’t the only organization that had been fighting for the Guanxuan Universe.

Everyone else loyal to the Guanxuan Universe gave their lives up for it.

The weight on Ye Guan’s shoulders suddenly felt heavier than before.

The young man suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”

Ye Guan shrugged and replied, “Ye Guan.”

The young man cupped his fist and said, “My name is Lian Shuang, and I’m from the Immortal Imperial City of the Xuan World.”

Ye Guan asked curiously, “How long have you been here?”

Lian Shuang admitted, “Three years!”

Three years! Ye Guan nodded slightly. He didn’t have three years to spend here.

Lian Shuang hesitated briefly before asking, “Brother Ye, can I ask you for more details about what you comprehended so far…”

Lian Shuang knew that he was overstepping the boundary, but he felt like Ye Guan was kind enough to share what he had comprehended so far.

Of course, he would just apologize if Ye Guan wasn’t willing to share, but if Ye Guan decided to share his comprehension with him, it would be an immense help.

A cultivator had to seek their own path to the summit of cultivation, but they could also take inspiration from others. Of course, they had to act wisely and remain when they had to learn from others.

Ye Guan smiled and explained, “The Unyielding Sovereign was once an exceptional elite, and his will remains strong despite the passage of time. He must have been an assertive and domineering individual, so he must not be fond of scaredy-cats.

”While facing his will, we have to be respectful, but we cannot be afraid of his will. In other words, we have to fight his will rather than spend our days climbing the mountain while pondering over basically nothing.

Ye Guan made sure to speak loudly. He decided to answer everyone rather than just Lian Shuang. Everyone fell into deep thought. They understood what Ye Guan was talking about, and they soon realized that Ye Guan was right.

It was meaningless to ponder over things, and it was pointless to look at the Unyielding Sovereign as a god. Would the Unyielding Sovereign take a liking to someone desperately trying to lick his boots? Definitely not!

Historically, bootlickers had never really achieved anything, and who would be fond of a bootlicker?

Lian Shuang clenched his fists along with everyone else. Their gazes changed subtly as they stared at the summit.

Ye Guan could see the determination and eagerness in his eyes. He looked at the crowd but remained silent.

Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “Why did you tell everyone what you understood? Are you not afraid that they’ll steal the Unyielding Bones from you?”

Ye Guan chuckled, “They’re talents from myriad worlds out there. I’m hoping to be on good terms with them. My father and grandfather’s friends are supporting me, but I cannot rely on them forever.

”I have to think about establishing a good network aside from just cultivating all day. It’ll be great if I manage to make some friends out of the people here.”

Little Pagoda sighed to himself, “He really is completely different from his father and grandfather…”

“You’re right,” said the mysterious voice.

“It feels like your words have enlightened me.” Lian Shuang chuckled. He shook his head and turned toward the top of the mountain. His expression was complicated as he said, “Indeed, it would be foolish to expect a different result without changing the approach.”

Ye Guan smiled and said, “Brother Lian, I might be mistaken. There are so many varieties of the Great Dao, and there are a myriad paths to the summit.”

“Brother Ye, you’re right,” said Lian Shuang. “Still, I want to change my approach.”

“Why don’t we do it together?” Ye Guan asked.

“Let’s go!” Lian Shuang grinned.

“Can I join in?” asked someone else.

Ye Guan turned around and saw a man not far away.

The man was wearing a black robe. He had sharp features and a refined demeanor. The black-robed man introduced himself and said, “I’m Zong Shou, and I’m from the Zong Clan of the Zong World.”

Ye Guan asked, “You want to join us?”

Zong Shou nodded. “If you two are fine with it, I’m willing to take on the Everlasting Will with the two of you.”

Ye Guan smiled. “Come and join us.”

Zong Shou looked at Ye Guan and nodded. Ye Guan turned toward the others and asked, “Is there anyone else willing to join us?”

There was silence from the crowd until a young man stepped forward.

He looked at Ye Guan and said, “Count me in.”

Ye Guan nodded. “All right!”

The others hurriedly stepped in to join the group until all hundred and twenty people became a part of the group.

Someone suddenly asked, “How are we going to split the Unyielding Bones?”

Everyone frowned. How could the Unyielding Bones be split?

Everyone turned to Ye Guan for guidance.

Ye Guan said, “Aren’t we counting the chickens here before they hatch? We still haven’t succeeded.”

No one spoke a word.

Ye Guan continued. “We should work together against the Everlasting Will. If we succeed and reach the summit, we can sit down and discuss it properly. By then, we’ll accept the opinion of the majority. What do you guys think?”

They looked at each other and nodded.

Ye Guan smiled, “Since everyone has agreed, let’s begin! I’ll go first!”

He stomped with his right foot and turned into a beam of sword light that shot toward the summit.

Lian Shuang burst out laughing before taking off to chase after Ye Guan.

Zong Shou followed soon afterward. His figure trembled, and he turned into a spear light flew toward the summit like a meteor. The woman marred by a birthmark followed after him.

The others didn’t hesitate anymore.

They rushed straight for the Everlasting Will with Ye Guan leading them.

Ye Guan rushed toward the summit with a sword in hand.

Soon, a loud explosion echoed.

The Everlasting Will was here!

Boom!

The wave of Everlasting Will had become even stronger than before.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t hold back as he thrust forward with his sword. Fifteen swords manifested at once as Ye Guan rushed to meet the oncoming wave of the Everlasting Will.

Without Ao Qianqian’s support, his current limit was fifteen swords.

Crack!

His swords were shattered; they stood no chance against the Everlasting Will. He plunged into the sea of blood along with the others. None of them managed to resist the Everlasting Will as they crashed into the sea of blood one after another.
