I Have A Sword

Chapter 320: That Place Too?

Ye Guan had to admit that he was truly tempted.

It couldn't be helped as it was a chance to immediately become a Great Sovereign!

If someone were to hand over such an opportunity to him, he would accept it with relish, as it meant instantly completing his aunt's task for him. In addition, what could their enemies outside do to them once he became a Great Sovereign?

The Great Sovereigns outside would become mere ants before him. No, it wouldn't be just Great Sovereigns. Ye Guan reckoned that he might become strong enough to stand a chance against his aunt.

Hearing Ye Guan's words, the woman in white shook her head. "No."

Perplexed, Ye Guan asked, "Why?"

The woman in white smiled and said frankly, "I don't want the inheritance of my Starry Sea Sect to become someone else's dowry.”

The Starry Sea Sect's inheritance would be valuable to just about anyone out there aside from the young swordsman in front of him.

The Starry Sea Sect's inheritance would be easily overshadowed by the young man's Dao. In fact, Ye Guan would eventually forget that it even existed. To put it simply, Ye Guan was too exceptional for the Starry Sea Sect's inheritance.

However, Nangong Xue was different. With the help of the young swordsman, Nangong Xua would be able to bring out the full potential of the Starry Sea Sect's inheritance. She might even succeed in reviving the sect.

Ye Guan was rendered speechless by the woman in white's words.

The woman in white's smile deepened as she added, "Well, she's your woman, so is there even any difference if I give her the inheritance?"

Nangong Xue blushed and lowered her head slightly.

"Master, I'm not his woman..." she muttered.

The woman in white chuckled. Her gaze remained on Ye Guan as she instructed, "Go and stand guard for us, will you?"

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, how long will it take?"

"At least two hours," she replied calmly.

Ye Guan smiled and nodded. "Alright."

With that, he turned around and left.

The woman in white shifted her attention to Nangong Xue.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, "Do you know his background?"

Nangong Xue shook her head. There was a veil of mystery surrounding Ye Guan's origins.

The woman in white sighed softly, and a complex look suffused her face.

Nangong Xue clenched her hands as she muttered, "His background..."

The woman in white said in a low voice, "He has an extraordinary background. His destiny has been obfuscated by someone, and I only know of two people capable of doing such a thing. One of them is the Eternal Sovereign, the Great Sovereign who was invincible among his peers. The second one is the Great Daoist Brush Master."

Nangong Xue quietly absorbed the revelation, but her trembling hands revealed her emotions.

The woman in white said, "He's destined for greatness. If you want to stand next to him and be of help to him, you must become much stronger than you are at the moment. Otherwise, you'll just become an ornament. You'll fade into obscurity once he becomes even stronger."

Nangong Xue sighed deeply, and she confessed with a tinge of bitterness. "I can feel that he... he doesn't harbor a deep affection for me, or perhaps, none at all. It seems more like he's reluctant to reject me. I think that's why he still keeps me by his side."

The woman in white walked up to Nangong Xue and said, "Silly girl. I want you to remember that when it comes to dealing with men, you shouldn't be too passionate. Haven't you heard the saying about how what's easily acquired is often undervalued?

"You should focus on becoming even stronger at the moment and building your own tower of independence. Don't be too attached to him. Strive not just for self-reliance but for the ability to support him!"

Nangong Xue's gaze was filled with uncertainty as she asked. "What if he ends up not liking me at all?"

The woman in white shook her head and smiled gently. "Silly girl, whether he likes you or not is his business. Your feelings for him are your own feelings. He's not obligated to reciprocate your feelings. The world doesn't move according to your whims and desires."

Nangong Xue went silent at that remark and nodded after a long while. "I see..."

"And that's why you have to focus on becoming even stronger right now!" The woman in white exclaimed and chuckled, "Women shouldn't lose what makes them unique once they develop deep feelings for a man. We must not lose ourselves, our independence, and our personality. Otherwise, we'd only be inviting the mocking of others, and they'd look down on us."

Nangong Xue nodded. "I understand."

The woman in white smiled and said, "Once you've become a Great Sovereign, you should spar with him and give him a good beating."

Nangong Xue was puzzled. "Why?"

The woman in white explained, "A female Great Sovereign is incredibly attractive. The majority of men have this certain, twisted fixation about conquering women who are stronger than them. You have to ignite that kind of desire in him, do you understand?"

Nangong Xue blinked and exclaimed, "Master, you really know a lot!"

The woman in white laughed heartily and said, "I know quite a few techniques as well, and I'll teach you some of them later!"

Nangong Xue's curiosity was piqued. "What techniques?"

The woman in white blinked mischievously.

She leaned in to whisper a few words into Nangong Xue's ear.

"Ah!" Nangong Xue's face flushed a deep crimson. She immediately covered her face with both her hands and stammered, "T-that place can be used, too? T-t-that's…"

The woman in white let out a peal of boisterous laughter. "Of course, it can be done using that place as well..."

She whispered a few more words into Nangong Xue's ear.

Nangong Xue quivered incessantly out of embarrassment. She grabbed the woman in white's hand and stopped her from talking.

"Master, I-I-It's too much for me. Can we just start?"

The woman in white laughed heartily and exclaimed, "Sure!"

The woman in white waved her sleeve, and the spacetime inside the great hall shattered. The woman in white opened her palm and shouted, "Go!"

Boom!

A divine mirror soared into the sky and hovered in the starry sky.

The woman in white opened her palm once more and shouted, "Come!"

Boom!

The divine mirror trembled violently, causing the starry sky to quake. A powerful stellar force burst out of the divine mirror and transformed into a pillar of stellar light that descended and converged on Nangong Xue's head.

Boom!

Nangong Xue quivered vigorously as a powerful aura burst out of her.

The woman in white suddenly leaned and placed a finger on Nangong Xue’s glabella. A stellar imprint appeared on Nangong Xue's glabella, and the stellar energy from the pillar of stellar light surged toward her glabella.

Nangong Xue's eyes widened.

Her aura surged crazily—she was about to become a Great Sovereign.

Ye Guan's expression was grim as he stared at the unfolding sight. It was his first time witnessing an inheritance that included a cultivation base increase. Ye Guan was sure that it would have drawbacks, but it didn't mean that it was all bad.

Ye Guan turned toward the distant horizon upon seemingly sensing something. The dark clouds in the distance were trembling, and thunderous booms echoed incessantly from within the expansive clouds.

Ye Guan's expression changed drastically. The lightning calamities and tribulations were being stirred into action?

Dozens of lightning bolts burst out of the dark clouds and made a beeline for the woman in white and Nangong Xue.

Ye Guan didn't hesitate to charge at the oncoming lightning bolts, but the woman in white interrupted him by saying, "These lightning bolts are beyond what you can handle. Allow me to take care of them."

The woman in white waved her left hand. Stellar energy surged from her palm and created a wall in front of her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning bolts struck the wall, and it trembled violently. The woman in white's gaze turned to the group of Xue Clan members in the distance, and she shouted at Ye Guan, "I want you to hold them back for two hours!"

Ye Guan turned toward Xue Feng and the Xue Clan members. Xue Feng and his group were staring at the woman in white and Nangong Xue.

They instantly understood what was happening—Nangong Xue was in the middle of receiving an inheritance.

An old man next to Xue Feng spoke solemnly, "What should we do?"

The woman in white was definitely a supreme elite, so they didn't dare to make any rash movements. Xue Feng stared deeply at the woman in white and said, "She's too busy transmitting her inheritance to Nangong Xue and defending the two of them against the lightning calamities and tribulation."

The old man next to Xue Feng made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and asked, "Are we going to eliminate him first, then?"

Xue Feng shook his head and said, "We're going to kill Nangong Xue and the woman in white before anything else. We can't let Nangong Xue receive that inheritance!"

With that, he stomped and rushed toward the woman in white.

The elites behind Xue Feng followed closely behind Xue Feng.

They also understood that Nangong Xue's strength would soar once she had received the complete inheritance of the woman in white, and they also stood no chance against the woman in white.

Of course, there was another reason behind their decision.

They wanted the divine mirror above the woman in white. In other words, killing the woman in white meant obtaining a divine item from a secret realm!

However, Ye Guan suddenly appeared in front of Xue Feng.

Xue Feng's expression turned ugly.

"Get lost!" he roared and flicked his sleeve.

A powerful wave of energy rushed toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was but a paltry True Immortal Realm ant in Xue Feng's eyes, and he was unwilling to take an ant seriously.

Ye Guan responded by thrusting his sword toward Xue Feng; it was an attack emblazoned with the Sword Dao! However, Ye Guan wasn't done just yet. He changed his grip on the sword and slashed out—Heavenrend!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Xue Feng flew hundreds of meters away from Ye Guan after taking the latter's attack. He was left dumbfounded when he finally landed on the ground. He wasn't the only one—every Xue Clan elite was shocked.

Xue Feng was a Great Sovereign, and Ye Guan was just a True Immortal Realm cultivator. However, he actually managed to send Xue Feng flying with his attacks?! What was going on here?

The Xue Clan elites were struck with unparalleled astonishment.

Xue Feng stared at Ye Guan and muttered in disbelief, "That move—"

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed from afar. Everyone turned and found that Nangong Xue was emitting a terrifying aura.

The Divine Sovereign Realm! Nangong Xue had just made a breakthrough into the Divine Sovereign Realm from the Time Immortal Realm, but her aura was still surging crazily with seemingly no signs of abating.

Xue Feng's expression darkened. At this rate, Nangong Xue would soon become a Great Sovereign!

A horrifying killing intent blossomed in Xue Feng's eyes.

He glared at Ye Guan and roared, "Kill him first! Let's attack him together!"

Xue Feng and the Xue Clan elites wasted no time and rushed toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled sinisterly in the face of so many elites.

He took a step forward, and—

Boom!

His fleshly body erupted in a terrifying conflagration!
