I Have A Sword

Chapter 231: Fight The True God Today

Ye Guan was walking toward the mountain when Little Pagoda suddenly said, “I thought you were going to kill him.”

Surprised, Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, why did you think so?”

Little Pagoda was silent. Why? Your father and grandfather would have done so!

Ye Guan fell into deep thought. After a while, he muttered, “Actually, I said those words to him, but they are also for myself. Power is everything in this world, but we should always try to stay humble.”

The mysterious voice asked, “Why do you say so?”

“I saw myself in that young man.” Ye Guan answered.

“You saw yourself in him?” The mysterious voice wondered.

“I’m starting to get ahead of myself!” Ye Guan exclaimed. He looked up at the sky in deep thought and muttered, “I’m extremely famous despite my age. My father is the Sword Master, while my mother is the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

“I myself have become the King of the Guanxuan Universe after ascending the throne. I’m getting proud of myself, and it’s easy for me to lose track of myself once I become too prideful. My words to that young man earlier were a reminder to myself.”

The mysterious voice silently listened as Ye Guan continued. “Power and money can easily allow anyone to become excessively proud. I have both power and money, and that is exactly why I have to know my place.”

“A swordsman cultivates their heart and mental state,” said the mysterious voice. “Controlling yourself in this way is imposing a limit on yourself. Your sword might get affected at this rate.”

Ye Guan smiled and explained, “I’m imposing a limit not on myself but on my bad habit. Evil and pride are vices born from excess. Those walking on the sword dao do not have to follow their heart and do whatever it says.

“I’ll feel better if I were to do whatever my heart says, but if I were to do that while I’m weak, won’t that mean creating enemies for myself?”

Ye Guan paused for a while before he added, “I almost wanted to kill that young man. He wasn’t a match for me at all, so I could have easily killed him in one hit.

”However, I’m sure his family would definitely chase after me to avenge him if I had killed him earlier. My father is the Sword Master, and my mother is the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. My family background means I don’t have to be afraid of them, but…”

Ye Guan chuckled slightly and continued. “I will end up becoming over-reliant on others. I’ll get addicted to relying on my parents for help, and I’ll lose track of my goals. I’ll eventually become a wastrel, and I’ll no longer be the person I am today.”

Hum!

The Path Sword in Ye Guan let out a vibrant sword hum. His figure exuded a powerful sword intent. He wasn’t going through a breakthrough, but his sword intent had just become even more powerful.

The mysterious voice praised, “I’m glad that you think that way.”

Ye Guan sighed deeply and said, “I can do whatever I want once I’ve become as strong as my plain-skirt aunt. However, I’m not as strong as her, so I have to be lowkey. I have to rein my temper in, as I’m too weak for any outbursts.

”Otherwise, I’ll just become a laughingstock!”

“Is that what you realized after seeing the young man’s attitude earlier?”

Ye Guan nodded and said, “He must have a great family background, which is exactly the reason he was prideful. I’m the same as him. In fact, I am no longer intimidated by Divine Sovereigns after that fight against the True Universe.

“Why? It’s all because I know that my father, relatives, and seniors will protect me. If they weren’t there to protect me, how could I possibly dare to even stand up against a Divine Sovereign?

“I’ll definitely suffer a terrible beating as a consequence of such insolence. To make matters worse, there’s no way I can even retaliate against a Divine Sovereign.”

The mysterious voice said, “Cultivators cultivate their hearts and minds. We eradicate evil and stick to our core beliefs. The most difficult aspect to cultivate is the heart and mind. A slight misstep, and you’ll end up tumbling down a cliff.

“I’m glad you are able to remain clear-headed and unprejudiced. It’s difficult, but you must keep on doing it. Do as I say, and you’ll have an easier time once you’ve started cultivating your heart.”

“Cultivating my heart?” asked Ye Guan.

The mysterious voice chuckled and explained, “It’s a cultivation pathway I made. When the time comes, will you be willing to learn it from me?”

Ye Guan immediately answered, “Of course!”

Little Pagoda asked, “Are you really going to teach him?”

The mysterious voice calmly replied, “Are you not curious about the state of his heart?”

“Tell me,” Little Pagoda said.

The mysterious voice chuckled and replied, “He’s already qualified to cultivate his heart. I thought that he would need a while to qualify, but he truly is a prodigy. I didn’t expect him to qualify so soon!”

“Well, what can I say…” Little Pagoda snickered and said, “I raised him, after all.”

The mysterious voice was at a loss for words. Silence blanketed the two in the tiny pagoda before the mysterious voice shattered it by saying, “He’s really suitable for the heart state I’ve made, as he’s capable of such deep self-reflection.”

Little Pagoda hesitated briefly before saying, “He’s already cultivating both the sword and martial arts!”

“What’s wrong with making him cultivate his heart?”

Little Pagoda couldn’t answer the mysterious voice.

Right then, Ye Guan suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw the young man chasing after him. Ye Guan looked at him and asked, “What is it?”

The young man smiled and said, “Big Brother, I’ve come to apologize!”

Ye Guan frowned slightly as he wondered, “Apologize?”

The young man nodded and hurriedly said, “Yes, I was ignorant and foolish. I unknowingly offended you, so I hope that you’ll forgive me!”

Ye Guan stared carefully at the young man.

“Don’t worry about it anymore,” he said before turning around to walk away.

The young man hesitated for a while before running toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan stared at him and asked, “What do you want?”

The young man smirked and asked, “Big Brother, is this your first time here?”

Ye Guan nodded and said, “Yes!”

The young man quickly said, “I’m familiar with this area, and I can guide you here.”

After some thought, Ye Guan asked, “What is your name?”

The young man replied, “My name is Si Tongtian, and I’m from the Si Family of the Yuan World!”

The Yuan World? Ye Guan shook his head. It was his first time hearing of the Yuan World. It seemed that there were truly a myriad of worlds out there. He just had to visit and familiarize himself with them.

Si Tongtian asked, “Big Brother, where are you going?”

Ye Guan looked straight in the direction of the deepest part of the Holy Burial Mountain before saying, “I’m going to the deepest part of this place.”

Si Tongtian was surprised, and he stammered, “T-the deepest part?”

Ye Guan confirmed with a nod.

Si Tongtian’s voice deepened as he asked, “Big Brother, did you come here for the Eternal Sword Master’s inheritance?”

Ye Guan asked, “Who is the Eternal Sword Master?”

“You don’t know?” Si Tongtian exclaimed in disbelief.

“Nope!” Ye Guan shook his head.

Si Tongtian explained, “The strongest world among the All Worlds is the Eternal World. The Eternal Sword Master is from the Eternal World, and he’s the most talented as well as the strongest swordsman throughout the history of that world.”

Ye Guan asked, “Is he dead?”

Si Tongtian shook his head and said, “No. He’s different from the other supreme elite cultivators here. He’s still alive. He came here on his own accord, but no one knows why he made such a decision.”

Ye Guan nodded. An Nanjing was probably referring to the Eternal Sword Master earlier.

Si Tongtian asked, “Big Brother, are you going to visit the Eternal Sword Master?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”

“I will bring you to him.” Si Tongtian offered.

Ye Guan nodded. “Sure.”

On the way there, Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Senior, are you familiar with the Eternal Sword Master?”

The mysterious voice said, “Yes.”

Ye Guan asked, “Is he strong?”

“You will find out for yourself later,” said the mysterious voice.

Ye Guan was silent. He had many questions in his heart.

Did he really need a sword inheritance? He believed that he truly didn’t need one.

His plain-skirt aunt had already given him a sword inheritance, and he could also easily ask Mu Tiandao, as well as the elite cultivators of the Sword Sect, for questions related to sword cultivation. Despite that, An Nanjing still sent him here.

In other words, there had to be another reason why An Nanjing had decided to do such a thing.

Ye Guan set aside his thoughts and picked up the pace.

Ye Guan and Si Tongtian passed through many mountains before they arrived at the deepest part of the Holy Burial Mountain.

More than ten thousand people had gathered on the plains before them. A thirty-meter-tall stone pillar stood about a kilometer away from the group of cultivators, and a woman was pinned to the stone pillar.

The woman was wearing a long red skirt, and her long hair draped over her waist. She was looking up at the sky.

A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged below the woman.

The middle-aged man’s eyes were closed, and his hands were on his knees. A five-centimeter-wide sword lay next to him. A red sash was wrapped around the hilt of the sword, and there was a handful of hair hanging from the red sash.

The middle-aged man was the Eternal Sword Master!

Si Tongtian stared with a look of awe at the sword and explained, “That’s the legendary Eternal Sword right there. It’s ranked first throughout the All Worlds and ranked third throughout the All Worlds and acknowledged universes.

“Only the Adjudication Sword of the Adjudication Sword Master and the Qingxuan Sword of the Guanxuan Universe’s Sword Master are stronger than the Eternal Sword.”

Ye Guan frowned slightly and inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, how come the Path Sword is missing from the rankings?”

Little Pagoda answered, “The Path Sword is indifferent to such rankings.”

Ye Guan’s expression soured.

Little Pagoda had become really bad at lying.

Ye Guan’s gaze fell on the middle-aged man wearing a fiery red robe. His outfit matched the girl on the pillar.

Ye Guan soon realized that they were wearing wedding outfits.

More than a hundred swordsmen stood behind the Eternal Sword Master.

A young woman stood at the helm of the swordsmen. The young woman was wearing a long skirt that was as white as snow, and her long hair lay next to her cheeks, accentuated by her side bangs.

The young woman’s eyes were cold as she stood in front of twelve Great Sword Sovereigns and many Sword Sovereigns.

Ye Guan was astonished. He had to admit that the Eternal Sword Master was truly the strongest swordsman throughout the All Worlds. More and more people gathered, and they were obviously interested in the sword inheritance.

The Eternal Sword Master suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around and asked calmly, “Has Shi Cang arrived yet?”

The young woman wearing a white skirt looked at the Eternal Sword Master.

Her eyes were filled with anger as she asked, “Am I that bad?”

The Eternal Sword Master shook his head. “Not at all.”

The young woman glared at the Eternal Sword Master and asked. “Is it because I’m a girl that you don’t want me to inherit the Eternal Sword Sect?”

“No,” the Eternal Sword Master said, “He’s simply more suitable than you.”

The young woman wearing a white skirt clenched her fists and snapped, “I’ve worked hard as well, but you’ve never acknowledged me!”

The Eternal Sword Master closed his eyes again. He didn’t say anything as the young woman wearing a white skirt glared at him in silence.

The mysterious voice inside Ye Guan suddenly exclaimed, “The Eternal Sword Master is finally going to take that step!”

Ye Guan curiously asked, “What step?”

“He’s going to fight the True God today!”

Fight the True God? Ye Guan was stunned. The Eternal Sword Master is going to fight the True God today?!
