Chapter 284: Ye Xuan!
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
This is bad. The mysterious voice was getting more and more violent.
The mysterious voice said, “Go to the Time World; the Time Mirror is there, and you should get it.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Senior, please lead the way."
A radiant light burst out of Ye Guan and took to the skies. The skies overhead were torn apart. Ye Guan wasted not even a second as he hopped onto his sword and rushed toward the rift in the skies. A spacetime tunnel was beyond the rift.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a small tree with emerald green leaves appeared in his hand. Ye Guan asked, "Senior, what can the Divine Tree of Nature do?"
He had never really scrutinized the Divine Tree of Nature, so he had no idea what it could do.
The mysterious voice responded, "In the past, the Expeditionary Army was far more powerful than the Wujian Universe's myriad clans. However, the Expedition Army had struggled during that war. Do you know why?"
Ye Guan asked, "Is it because of this Divine Tree of Nature?"
"Exactly," the mysterious voice said, "The Divine Tree of Nature has a special ability. It can heal a large group of people at once, and it'll heal you back to your feet as long as you still have even a breath in you.”
“Mass heal?” Ye Guan asked.
The mysterious voice nodded. “Yes, and it is an unranked divine item."
Curious, Ye Guan asked, “Unranked? Why? Is it because it's blasphemy to categorize it into a rank?”
The mysterious voice chuckled slightly and said, “I guess you can put it that way. There are only a few unranked divine items in the All Worlds and the True Universe The Wujian Universe only has one, and it's the Divine Tree of Nature."
Ye Guan nodded. He looked down at the Divine Tree of Nature in his hand and examined it closely. With a thought, countless green light orbs seeped out of him, making him feel comfortable all over.
Ye Guan clenched his right hand.
Boom!
A terrifying force flooded out of him, and the spacetime tunnel he was in quivered violently as if it were on the cusp of shattering. Ye Guan was startled, and he immediately stopped it with a thought.
At this moment, the mysterious voice exclaimed, "Force of Nature!"
Ye Guan was puzzled, "Force of Nature?"
"Yes," said the mysterious voice before explaining, "The Divine Tree of Nature's Force of Nature is considered to be one of the primitive forces of the Wujian Universe.
"I heard that Sovereign Qing had apparently used the Force of Nature as the foundation of his Dao, and he made a name for himself by becoming a titled Sovereign under the support of the Wujian Universe's myriad clans."
"But he still lost to your big sister!" Ye Guan pointed out.
The mysterious voice smiled and said, "Sovereign Qing was really strong. My big sister is the only one capable of defeating him consistently. However, someone else has been racking up win streaks against him aside from my big sister!"
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "Who?"
The mysterious voice replied, "Take a guess."
"Could it be you? Senior?" Ye Guan replied.
"Bingo!" the mysterious voice burst out into laughter and said, "You're really smart!"
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
"What? Do you not think that I'm strong?" asked the mysterious voice.
"Well, the Adjudication Sword Master didn't seem to be afraid of you," Ye Guan replied after a brief pondering.
The mysterious voice chuckled and said, "It was just her bad temper talking. She's headstrong even against Big Sister, not just me. She's not particularly bright, and her temper is the worst, but she's extremely loyal.
"She's also always ready to take the lead during critical junctures."
Ye Guan asked, "Are there any unranked divine items in the True Universe?"
The mysterious voice replied, "There are a few."
Ye Guan asked, "What are they?"
“My big sister has an incredibly powerful unranked divine item, and it's called the Mirror of Dao Reversal. Its special ability allows one to reverse the Dao Origin,” the mysterious voice answered.
Ye Guan asked, “What's the Dao Origin?”
“It's the origin of a Great Dao.”
Ye Guan asked, “What's the origin of a Great Dao?”
"We should just stop talking if you're going to ask me stupid questions," the mysterious voice replied, "There's no point otherwise."
Ye Guan chuckled bitterly. He wasn't playing around like what the mysterious voice thought. He truly had no idea what the mysterious voice was talking about. He went silent, and a deafening silence descended upon the two.
Soon, the mysterious voice broke the silence by saying, “Simply put, the Great Dao is everything, and everything is the Great Dao. Life, aging, illness, death, the ebb and flow of tides, and the setting and rising of the sun—all these serve as the foundation of the world. It is the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is everywhere.”
Ye Guan sounded solemn as he said, "The Great Daoist Brush Master can wield the Great Dao, right?"
"Yes," the mysterious voice replied, "Your predecessors can do it, too.”
Ye Guan fell silent. After a while, he asked, "Can the Great Dao be destroyed?"
"Yes, the Great Dao can be extinguished by destroying everything," the mysterious voice answered.
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled to himself.
The mysterious voice noticed something off and asked, "Why ask?"
"I'm just going to destroy everything if I get too tired," Ye Guan replied.
The mysterious voice went silent.
Little Pagoda hesitated slightly before saying, "I don't think that's a good idea."
The mysterious voice also said, "Living is a form of cultivation. The process is arduous, but it's quite interesting."
Ye Guan chuckled at that and pointed out. "Senior, I can tell that you still treasure your relationship with the Adjudication Sword Master and the True God. Considering that I'm at odds with them, why are you following me?"
"It's because I want to help my big sister," the mysterious voice replied.
Ye Guan went quiet. He fell into deep contemplation, but he soon emerged and asked in a solemn voice, "You're not going to betray me one day, right?"
The mysterious voice chuckled and asked, "Why? Are you afraid?"
Ye Guan boisterously laughed. "An esteemed person betraying me? Impossible!"
He secretly transmitted his voice to Little Pagoda. "Master Pagoda, keep a close eye on her. There's no harm in being cautious."
"She heard it," Little Pagoda spoke in a deep voice, "You shouldn't have used profound energy to transmit your voice to me."
Ye Guan's expression stiffened. Awkward!
The mysterious voice chortled and said, "Just you wait! I'm going to stab you when you least expect it. Do you want to get stabbed in the front or in the rear? What—-"
The mysterious voice abruptly fell silent. She noticed something weird with the words that she had said, so she decisively cut herself off mid-sentence.
Fortunately, Ye Guan didn't dwell on it too much. He simply shook his head and smiled. Soon, he closed his eyes to examine the Divine Tree of Nature's Force of Nature.
He had to admit that the so-called Force of Nature was an extremely powerful type of energy. It seemed limitless as well, and since it was from the Divine Tree of Nature, he didn't have to enter a state of meditation to make use of it.
Ye Guan's prowess increased drastically, thanks to the Divine Tree of Nature. Ye Guan even reckoned that with the Path Sword, the Divine Tree of Nature, and the Sword Master's Dao Imprint, only Great Sovereigns could match up to him.
He didn't dare to say that he was invincible. He felt like he was still not strong enough to beat his older sister, who was already a Time Immortal Realm cultivator.
The vast expanse also housed a myriad of talents, so Ye Guan couldn't say that he was invincible until he was certain that he was truly unrivaled. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to be complacent against his opponents.
Swoosh!
A dazzling white light appeared in the distance. Ye Guan was thrilled to see the dazzling white light, as it meant that he was approaching his destination. He was so excited that he couldn't hold back and rushed toward the dazzling white light.
When he emerged, he found himself on the summit of a mountain. He looked around in awe of the breathtaking scenery before him. A seemingly endless chain of mountains intertwined with each other was shrouded in both clouds and mist.
He had arrived in the Time World.
Ye Guan asked, “Senior, where's the Time Mirror?”
"I don't know," the mysterious voice replied.
Ye Guan was at a loss for words.
And that was when Little Pagoda chimed in, "Just go straight ahead. I can feel its unique energy undulation.”
Ye Guan nodded and hopped onto his sword. He sliced through the crowd and disappeared into the depths of the mountain chain.
Under Little Pagoda's guidance, Ye Guan soon found himself at the foot of a massive mountain. A river was flowing next to the mountain, and there was an ancient stone stele by the river that read—Time River!
Quite a few people had gathered here, and they were extremely powerful. In fact, some of them were Time Immortal Realm cultivators, and there were also a few Divine Spirits. Clearly, they were here for the Time Mirror.
Ye Guan examined the seemingly endless Time River before him and asked, “Master Pagoda, can you sense the Time Mirror?”
Little Pagoda's voice sounded solemn as he said, “I can sense its time energy, but I can’t pinpoint where it's coming from.”
Ye Guan nodded.
He hurled a strand of his divine sense toward the Time River, but the Time River rejected his divine sense.
Ye Guan was astonished.
"The Time River has accumulated too much time energy to the extent that a cultivator's divine sense can no longer penetrate it," the mysterious voice explained.
Ye Guan asked, “Do you have any idea about what I should do, Senior?”
“No,” replied the mysterious voice.
Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled.
The mysterious voice definitely knew how to find the Time Mirror; she just wanted him to look for it by himself.
Just then, a wooden raft floated over to the riverbank. A young woman wearing what looked like ethnic clothes was on the wooden raft. Her figure was slender, and she was extremely beautiful. A wooden stick was in her hand, and she was using it to paddle her way to the riverbank.
All eyes fell on her; she was just too beautiful to ignore.
Of course, Ye Guan was no exception. The young woman looked ordinary, but he didn't dare to think that she was just an ordinary young woman.
The young woman swept her gaze across the people next to the river and smiled. “I assume everyone is here for the Time Mirror?”
A young man in a white shirt stepped forward and chuckled. “I was here for the Time Mirror. I changed my mind after seeing you. The Time Mirror does not matter to me anymore—obtaining your heart has become my top priority."
Everyone burst out laughing at the young man in a white shirt's words.
However, Ye Guan took a few steps backward at the sight rather than laughing with the others.
Meanwhile, the young woman chuckled and said, “The members of the Miao Clan don't marry out."
The young man in a white shirt said, “Rules are meant to be broken, and I don't think people should lock themselves in a cage that they call rules. Everyone should live the life they want to live.”
"I don't like you," the young woman said while blinking innocently.
The young man in a white shirt chuckled and asked, “Who do you like, then?”
The young woman turned and pointed her finger at Ye Guan.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Guan. The young woman smiled shyly, appearing all embarrassed. However, Ye Guan stared at the young woman with narrowed eyes. The young woman was targeting him.
Just then, the young man in a white shirt turned toward Ye Guan. He examined Ye Guan from top to bottom before asking, “Friend, how may I address you?”
Ye Guan ignored the young man in a white shirt and walked over to the young woman. He had to admit that the young woman was stunning, and she looked more beautiful the longer he stared at her.
However, Ye Guan remained undeterred as he asked, “Do you know me?”
The young woman blinked shyly and replied, “No, but I like you because you're too handsome.”
Ye Guan shook his head and said, “I have a wife.”
The young woman lowered her head and fidgeted with her hands.
“I don’t mind being a mistress…” she muttered.
Everyone erupted into an uproar.
Ye Guan stared deeply at the young woman and said, “I have two wives."
"I don't mind…" replied the young woman.
The onlookers were thoroughly dumbfounded. Isn't it illegal for you to act like this just because you're handsome?!
However, the onlookers soon realized something strange. The onlookers were powerful cultivators in their own right, and the fact that they managed to reach their current cultivation realms meant that they had a good head between their shoulders.
They quickly realized that something was off about the young woman.
The young woman was sowing discord among them. Upon realizing that, the onlookers cast wary gazes in the young woman's way.
“Miss, there's no point in just being handsome. You have to be powerful as well," said the young man in a white shirt. He turned toward Ye Guan and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm the Young Clan Leader of the Luo World's Sky Clan.
"My name is Luo'er, and my father is Luo Feng, a Half-step Great Sovereign."
Quite a few cultivators standing close to Luo'er hurriedly distanced themselves from him. Foreigners had to be mindful and wary of everything around them. The young woman was clearly trying to sow discord, but Luo’er couldn't see it.
Thus, the onlookers judged him to be a foolish young man.
The cultivators around him steered clear of him to avoid inviting trouble upon themselves.
Ye Guan stared deeply at Luo’er, but he didn't say anything in response.
“I'm not trying to boast here. My father is a Half-step Great Sovereign, but the Luo Clan has always kept a low profile—” Luo'er stopped mid-sentence to ask, "Can you tell me your father's name?"
Ye Guan calmly replied, “Ye Xuan.”
Luo’er frowned and asked, “What about his cultivation base?”
Ye Guan replied, “He doesn't have a cultivation base.”
"Oh, you mean he's useless?" Luo’er jeered almost immediately.
