Chapter 324: Defeat My Father And Grandfather
Left Councilor Feng Qi shook her head and said seriously, “Cijing, she destroyed the Heaven Seizing World and killed a Great Time Sovereign in one move. Her strength…”
Left Councilor Feng Qi didn't complete her sentence, but the Adjudication Sword Master saw through what she was trying to say—the Adjudication Sword Master wasn't the plain-skirt lady's match.
The True Universe wasn't daring enough to underestimate the plain-skirt lady. The True Universe wasn't as foolish as the Heaven Seizing Clan. Since the plain skirt lady annihilated the Heaven Seizing World, they started analyzing the breadth of her strength.
They came to the conclusion that the plain-skirt lady was far stronger than they could imagine, which meant that most of them weren't her match.
The Adjudication Sword Master was calm as she responded, “I know that she's strong, but I'm not afraid of her. Anyway, I really have to beat Ye Guan up.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi laughed while shaking her head. Yan Cijing disliked Ye Guan, but Feng Qi had no idea why. She was immensely curious about the reason, as she was well aware that not just any people could provoke Yan Cijing's irritable personality.
In addition, it seemed that Yan Cijing was slightly obsessed with Ye Guan.
Left Councilor Feng Qi took a moment to compose herself before saying, “We should pick up the pace and head to the Holy Sect.”
With that, the two of them vanished into thin air.
…
Chaotic Star City was the biggest and liveliest city throughout the Chaotic Star World.
The city was built by both the Martial Sect and the Holy Sect, and both powers managed the city together.
Ye Guan headed straight for the biggest merchant organization in Chaotic Star City—the Yunhai Merchant Guild.
The beautiful young woman skimmed through the list Ye Guan had given her. After a long while, she said, sounding serious, “Young Lord, the items you've listed here are precious spiritual treasures, and they're very expensive…”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “Name it.”
The young woman looked up at Ye Guan. Upon realizing that Ye Guan was serious, the young woman skimmed through the list once more and said, "All of these items will cost you at least five hundred million spiritual cores.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Okay.”
The young woman was astounded, and she said, “Five hundred million spiritual cores.”
Clearly, she was worried that Ye Guan had misheard her.
Ye Guan nodded once more and said, “Yes, you said five hundred million spiritual cores. How long will it take you to acquire the items on this list?”
The young woman stared deeply into Ye Guan’s eyes. Moments later, she said, “If you're willing to pay an additional one hundred million spiritual cores, I can find everything you need in three days. Otherwise, it'll take us at least half a month.”
An additional payment? Ye Guan frowned slightly.
The young woman saw that and explained with a smile, “I am not lying to you, Young Lord. Every single item on this list is precious, and we don't even have some of the items here. We have to procure them from somewhere, and it's also going to be express delivery to consolidate your orders. Unfortunately, we'll have to pay a premium for that."
Ye Guan replied, “Sure, I understand.”
The young woman stood up and said. “Young Lord, we will need you to pay a deposit because the money involved is much too large for us to complete our end of the deal unsecured.”
Ye Guan asked, “How much?”
The young woman replied, “Three hundred million spiritual cores.”
So the deposit is half of the total amount due… Ye Guan opened his palm, and a storage ring flew toward the young woman. The young woman examined it briefly before saying, “Young Lord, please give me a moment.”
With that, she turned around and left to enter another room.
A gray-robed old man was in the room, and the young woman rushed toward the former. Excitement was apparent on her visage as she whispered something into the gray-robed old man's ears.
The gray-robed old man was thrilled. “Really?!”
The young woman smiled and handed over the storage ring in her hands.
“Take a look at it!" she exclaimed.
The gray-robed old man smiled upon seeing what was inside the storage ring.
“We've got ourselves a fat sheep! It's been a while since we got one, and we finally have one!” the gray-robed old man exclaimed. However, he suddenly frowned upon thinking of something. "The fact that he has six hundred million spiritual cores in his possession means that his background must be extraordinary.
"Are you sure about this, Manager Qin?"
The young woman, Manager Qin, replied with a smile, “I've examined him. He's just a paltry True Immortal Realm cultivator. He's probably from a rich family, and he's probably one of those arrogant young masters who are rich but dumb, so I think we can harvest him.”
"What’s wrong?” asked the mysterious lady.
Ye Guan asked solemnly, “Senior, how old was your sister when she created the Unbeatable Fist Art?”
The mysterious lady said, “Eighteen.”
Ye Guan chuckled bitterly and said, “I've been thinking that I'm an extraordinary talent, but it seems that I pale in comparison to the true supreme elites. I can't even make something similar to this Unbeatable Fist Art right now, let alone make something like this when I was just eighteen."
Little Pagoda turned to the mysterious lady and asked, "Wait, really?"
The mysterious lady admitted, “I lied.”
Little Pagoda had no idea what to say.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan stood up with eyes full of determination. “Aunt once told me that reaching for the heavens despite knowing its true height is the hallmarks of true courage.”
Ye Guan closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
“One day, I'll be a top cultivator and become one of the universes' peaks. I'll one day defeat my father and grandfather!”
Boom!
Ye Guan's sword intent responded to his fierce will and burst out of him, splitting the world in the tiny pagoda into two.
The mysterious lady gasped, “Ephemeral Transcendence Realm!”
Ye Guan had just transcended ephemerality to reach the Ephemeral Transcendence Realm!
The mysterious lady's expression was complicated; she truly didn't expect that Ye Guan would be able to make a breakthrough from the Ephemeral Realm to the Ephemeral Transcendence Realm using one of her big sister's books.
Ye Guan's terrifyingly high comprehension was comparable to only one person out of the many people the mysterious lady was familiar with, and that one person was none other than her big sister—the True God!
Little Pagoda asked, “Why did you not say that you'll one day defeat your aunt?”
Ye Guan said solemnly, “I was scared that she might beat me up!”
Little Pagoda couldn't retort to that.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a sword intent appeared. The sword intent had undergone an enormous transformation, and Ye Guan was no longer afraid of Xue Feng, even if the two of them were to fight right now.
Well, Xue Feng was just a Great Sovereign.
Ye Guan really wanted to fight a Great Time Sovereign. Yes, a fight! He wanted a fight.
Ye Guan decided to stay in the world inside the tiny pagoda for a bit longer to stabilize his cultivation base. Once he was done stabilizing his cultivation realm, he finally went out and discovered that three entire days had passed.
The items he had ordered had to be here by now, and he would soon be able to strengthen his puppet until it reached the same level of strength as a Great Sovereign Realm cultivator.
Just then, frantic footsteps echoed outside the room.
Soon, a gray-robed old man walked into the room. His gaze quickly landed on Ye Guan, and he walked up to the latter to say, “Young Lord, I have bad news for you.”
Ye Guan was confused. “Bad news?”
The gray-robed old man nodded and said in a deep voice, "The woman who was in charge of purchasing your items has decided to run away with your money."
Ye Guan stared quietly at the gray-robed old man.
The gray-robed old man sighed softly and said, "It was my fault."
Ye Guan didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "What happened to my items?"
The gray-robed old man shook his head and said, "We can't procure them…"
Ye Guan nodded and said, "Then, give me back my money!"
The gray-robed old man looked puzzled as he asked, "Money?"
Ye Guan's gaze deepened as he stared at the gray-robed old man, "I gave her six hundred million spiritual cores for her to procure the items that I require as soon as possible."
"You gave her so much money?!" The gray-robed old man exclaimed in alarm, “I'm sorry for your loss, Young Lord.”
Ye Guan was silent as he stared at the gray-robed old man.
The gray-robed old man sighed and explained, “Young Lord, I do not wish to hide things from you, but the woman who had run away with your money was an emergency last-minute replacement staff of our Yunhai Merchant Guild. She's also just a part-timer, so what she did has nothing to do with our Yunhai Merchant Guild. Our merchant guild is deeply sorry for your profound loss.”
