I Have A Sword

Chapter 237: Can I Ask Aunt For Help?

The Thousand Illusions World was no more, but many people were unaware of it.

It wasn’t strange as every world was massive, so they were separated by a vast expanse. Still, news of the Thousand Illusions World’s disappearance would soon spread like wildfire.

…

Ye Guan continued on his way down the bridge while seemingly in deep thought.

He had just come out of an illusion domain, but why was his plain-skirt aunt in the illusion domain?

Was there something wrong with his mind?

Ye Guan frowned. He had read quite a few ancient books, and he knew that some Divine Mages had a penchant for digging out other people’s deepest weaknesses. Ye Guan didn’t think that his Dao was invincible. He believed that everyone had their own weaknesses, but was his weakness really his plain-skirt aunt?

Ye Guan was silent. How strong was his plain-skirt aunt?

It was a burning question in his mind for quite a while now, but he still had no answers. His Master Pagoda had never really provided him with an answer and was even hiding the truth from him. Why?

Ye Guan closed his eyes. Was Master Pagoda worried that his mind would get affected if he learned the full extent of Plain-Skirt Aunt’s prowess?

His eyes flung open, and his right hand gripped the Path Sword tightly.

Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “What are you thinking so deeply about?”

He was starting to be afraid of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was so smart that Little Pagoda couldn’t handle him anymore.

Ye Guan chuckled. “Nothing.”

Little Pagoda’s voice sounded deep as he said, “Don’t let your thoughts wander. Your current task is to take first place in the All Worlds List, do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand,” said Ye Guan with a chuckle.

Little Pagoda went quiet, but he muttered Inside the tiny pagoda, “He must have figured something out.”

“Don’t worry,” assured the mysterious voice. “His mind isn’t that weak.”

Little Pagoda sighed and said, “I hope so!”

Just then, a phantom appeared not too far away from Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at the phantom and found that it was holding a sword.

It seemed that the phantom was the real trial here.

Swoosh!

A beam of sword light streaked across the starry skies, and it reached Ye Guan in the blink of an eye.

Ye Guan remained calm. He only unsheathed his sword when the phantom’s sword was only ten centimeters away from him.

Instant Death Strike!

His sword was faster, and it split the phantom into two.

Ye Guan put his sword away and continued on his way.

He suddenly looked up when he recalled what his Master Pagoda had once said about his plain-skirt aunt’s prowess. His plain-skirt aunt could apparently kill a billion Divine Sovereigns by herself.

Could it be that Master Pagoda was serious at the time?

However, a billion Divine Sovereigns was just…

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. If Master Pagoda wasn’t lying, a billion Divine Sovereigns were mere ants in front of his plain-skirt aunt!

After a while, Ye Guan emerged from his thoughts and started laughing.

Little Pagoda was flustered, and he asked, “What’s so funny?”

“Thank you, Master Pagoda,” Ye Guan said.

Puzzled, Little Pagoda asked, “Why?”

Ye Guan answered, “Don’t worry about me, Master Pagoda. It is true that I’ve chosen to embark on the Invincible Sword Dao, but I acknowledge that I’m not the only one who is going to become invincible.

”I can be invincible, while others can be invincible as well, so you shouldn’t worry about me. Plain-Skirt Aunt’s true strength won’t make me falter.”

Little Pagoda was silent.

Ye Guan sounded serious as he continued. “Furthermore, I won’t compare myself to Father and Plain-Skirt Aunt. It would be foolish of me to compare myself to them, considering my meager strength. I should only compare myself to those born in the same generation as me.”

Little Pagoda chuckled and praised, “It’s great that you think of it that way.”

Ye Guan smiled and asked, “Does that mean I can ask Aunt for help in the future?”

Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.

Ye Guan burst out laughing and explained, “Master Pagoda, I really won’t rely on my backers if I can help it. I’m working hard to become even stronger, and I’m simply hoping for a fair playing field.

“Moreover, I don’t really think that I can handle the supreme elites of the True Universe or even just the Adjudication Sword Master, so I’ll only call for backup if they were to come for me.

“I think it’d be foolish of me to try and fight them by myself. I’m too weak, after all.”

Hearing that, Little Pagoda chuckled and said, “Sure, but you can only ask for her help if what you just told me were to happen.”

Ye Guan grinned and looked into the distance.

He would rely on himself as much as possible. Let’s keep working hard.

Ye Guan picked up the pace, and he quickly crossed the Galactic Bridge. A massive arena, which seemed to be a hundred thousand meters wide at first impression, was at the end of the Galactic Bridge.

It was a grand and majestic arena surrounded by ten huge statues.

There were eight statues of men and two statues of women. Ye Guan glanced at them and instantly realized that the statue had to be in the likeness of those on the All Worlds List at the moment.

In other words, these ten young men and women were the strongest members of the younger generation throughout the All Worlds.

Ye Guan was overjoyed at the sight. He could already feel that he would reap a ton of rewards once he was done challenging them.

Ye Guan’s figure flashed, and he reappeared in the middle of the Galactic Arena.

Just then, an old man appeared in front of Ye Guan.

“You have to pay a hundred thousand divine spiritual crystals for each challenge.”

Ye Guan nodded and sent a storage ring toward the old man.

Ye Guan truly didn’t care about money at the moment.

Money was no longer his priority.

The old man stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “You have to start from the bottom and make your way up to the top. If you manage to succeed, the statue will transform into your likeness. Your name will also appear in the Guanxuan Report, and everyone will know that you’ve made it onto the All Worlds List.”

“I understand.” Ye Guan nodded

The old man glanced at Ye Guan once more, but he didn’t say anything before turning around to leave.

Ye Guan closed his eyes. He had never really had a challenging battle against a youngster born in the same generation as him since he became a Great Sword Sovereign, and he had been craving such a battle for the longest time now.

Just then, the spacetime ahead of him split open, and a young man in a white shirt appeared.

The young man was exuding the aura of a True Realm cultivator.

Ye Guan stared at the young man with narrowed eyes. The young man seemed to be not even twenty years of age just yet, but he was already in the True Realm. In addition, he was at the bottom of the All Worlds List.

The talents on the All Worlds List were more powerful than he initially thought.

The young man glanced at Ye Guan. He opened his palm, and a powerful flame blossomed above his hand.

Boom!

The surrounding temperature rose sharply.

“You must be Ye Guan, the one who placed a huge bounty on himself,” said the young man.

Ye Guan nodded.

“Come, let me see just how powerful you are,” said the young man.

However, Ye Guan didn’t immediately make a move. He stared carefully at the young man.

Crackle!

The spacetime in front of the young man was torn open, and a sword emerged from the rift.

The young man’s eyes narrowed, and his eyes flashed in a serious light.

He waved his hand and created a shield made out of fire.

Wham!

The fire shield shattered upon contact with Ye Guan’s sword, and the young man flew at least a hundred meters away. The young man twisted his figure in mid-air and forcibly stabilized himself when a sword appeared right in front of him.

The young man flinched in surprise. He didn’t dare to underestimate his opponent as he pressed both of his palms forward. A mysterious energy burst out of the young man.

A fire domain! Ye Guan’s sword slowed down until it stopped moving.

However, Ye Guan brandished twenty swords and attacked the young man’s fire domain in the same spot at the same time.

Boom!

The fire domain cracked open, and the young man’s pupils constricted. He placed his palms together, and a powerful conflagration burst out of him. The flames quickly took on the form of a hundred-meter-tall giant, which rushed toward Ye Guan at the young man’s command.

Bam!

The fire giant suppressed Ye Guan’s sword, and it forced Ye Guan to retreat at least a hundred meters away.

Ye Guan eventually stopped retreating, but rather than taking a moment to compose himself. He stomped with his right foot, and his figure blurred. He turned into a beam of sword light with a sword in hand.

Instant Death Strike!

Ye Guan moved at his maximum speed as twelve swords orbited him. Ye Guan was moving so fast that he had to have plotted the trajectory of his movement while retreating.

Ye Guan took out a total of twenty-five swords. He couldn’t use more than twenty-five swords at the same time, so the twenty-five swords represented a bottleneck in Ye Guan’s progress.

Ye Guan’s swords tore the fire giant into shreds, and the young man was sent flying a few hundred meters away from the resulting backlash. By the time he stopped, twelve swords appeared just a few meters away from him.

It seemed that Ye Guan had no plans of giving the young man any time to breathe.

The young man flinched in fright, but he clenched his fists and threw his head back before roaring at the oncoming swords.

Boom!

A beam of fire rushed out of the young man’s mouth, and the flames engulfed Ye Guan’s swords. However, the young man still had to retreat, as Ye Guan had more sleeves in his arsenal.

Unfortunately, he could no longer retreat as a sword appeared a few inches away from his glabella.

The young man glared at Ye Guan as a fireball burned fiercely above his palm.

Ye Guan stared quietly at the young man. Moments later, Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and the sword pointing at the young man’s glabella returned to his hand.

“I admit defeat,” said the young man.

Ye Guan quietly turned to the old man wearing a black shirt.

“I want to fight the next one,” he said.

The old man wearing a black shirt calmly said, “Two hundred thousand divine spiritual crystals.”

Ye Guan threw a storage ring at the old man wearing a black shirt. The old man wearing a black shirt accepted the storage ring and stored it away.

The old man wearing a black shirt glanced at the young man and said, “You can fight him again if you want; it’s your privilege as a defender.”

The young man glanced at Ye Guan before shaking his head.

“I can’t beat him,” he said. Ye Guan had overwhelmed him so thoroughly that he couldn’t find a way to defeat Ye Guan. In other words, he was no match for Ye Guan, so he could only admit defeat.

“I understand,” said the old man wearing a black shirt. He then turned toward Ye Guan and said, “Give me a moment.”

“Sure.” Ye Guan nodded.

With that, he sat down cross-legged and ate a spiritual pill to recover.

The young man suddenly called out, “Young Lord Ye!”

Ye Guan opened his eyes and stared at the young man.

The young man said, “Be careful.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Guan asked with a frown.

The young man stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “Many elites throughout the All Worlds are converging here, so I suggest you keep your guard up.”

“I understand, thank you,” said Ye Guan with a nod.

The young man went silent and turned around to leave.

However, Ye Guan interrupted the young man by asking, “How may I address you?”

The young man cast a doubtful gaze on Ye Guan, but he said, “My name is Gong Qingcheng.”

“I’ll call you Brother Gong, then.” Ye Guan said, “Thank you!”

“You’re welcome!” said Gong Qingcheng.

With that, he turned around and vanished.

Ye Guan closed his eyes once more.

Crackle!

A rift in space appeared not too far away from Ye Guan, and a young man walked out of the rift. The young man was ranked ninth on the All Worlds List, and he was wearing a black robe with a saber in his hands.

A powerful saber aura was wafting out of the young man, and the young man wasted no time as his saber energy rushed toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan jumped up to his feet and turned into a beam of sword light.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as the young man’s saber energy shattered upon colliding with Ye Guan’s sword.

Seeing that, the young man hesitated no longer.

He charged at Ye Guan and swung his saber.

Rip!

The young man’s saber annihilated every inch of spacetime that dared to stand in its way as it made a beeline for Ye Guan. It was a bold, wild, and extremely domineering saber attack. The young man’s speed wasn’t that bad as well.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he didn’t hesitate to use all of his twenty-five swords.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A cacophony of explosions rocketed across the Galactic Arena as both parties charged at each other and sent each other flying away. Ye Guan split his twenty-five swords into two teams and manipulated the other group telekinetically.

Clang!

Sparks flew as metal clashed against metal the moment the young man swung his saber diagonally in an effort to send Ye Guan’s twelve swords flying away.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan’s sword contained too much energy for the young man to withstand unscathed, and he flew at least a hundred meters away at the moment of collision. By the time he stopped, Ye Guan’s sword was flying toward him once more.

The young man raised his saber in front of his chest to defend himself.

Clang!

The young man was sent flying once again, and a sword was already flying toward him before he could even recover. The young man used both of his hands to raise his saber in front of him.

A shrill noise echoed as saber lights filled the young man’s saber.

Boom!

The oncoming sword came to a halt in the face of the saber lights, but a rift in space manifested next to the young man and out came twelve flying swords.

The young man’s pupils constricted, and he said, “I admit defeat.”

The young man had no choice but to admit defeat. He had just blocked Ye Guan’s sword, so he couldn’t possibly fend off twelve swords at the same time, especially when each of those swords was more powerful than the previous.

Ye Guan retreated, and the swords returned to him.

The young man stared intently at Ye Guan before saying, “Your swords were really fast!”

“Your saber was powerful as well,” said Ye Guan with a smile.

“Thank you for sparing my life,” said the young man.

Ye Guan nodded, but he didn’t say anything else.

He had come here for a spar rather than for a life-and-death battle.

“You should leave,” said the young man.

Ye Guan raised an eyebrow, but the young man looked serious as he stared at Ye Guan. He made a sidelong glance at the old man wearing a black shirt not too far away from them, but in the end, he left without saying another word.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He was about to ask another question, but the young man interrupted him by saying, “Take care now.”

The young man’s figure blurred, and he vanished from Ye Guan’s sight.

Crackle!

The spacetime around Ye Guan vibrated violently as seven people appeared in the arena. Ye Guan glanced at the statues around the arena and went silent.

All seven newcomers were part of the All Worlds List, and every member of the All Worlds List had come here aside from the first placer.

Ye Guan turned toward the old man wearing a black shirt and asked, “Are they allowed to fight me at the same time?”

The old man wearing a black shirt nodded. “That’s right.”

Ye Guan frowned. “Is that in the rules?”

The old man wearing a black shirt didn’t avoid Ye Guan’s gaze as he said, “Yes, and the rules have changed just now. Is there any problem?”

Ye Guan chuckled and asked, “Do you represent the All Worlds?”

The old man wearing a black shirt glared coldly at Ye Guan and said, “Of course.”
