I Have A Sword

Chapter 155: Get Accepted by My Clan

Chapter 155: Get Accepted by My Clan

Ye Guan silently stared at the end of the spacetime tunnel. The Guanxuan Universe.

Ye Guan knew that the real battle would begin once he arrived in the Guanxuan Universe. However, he had a plan. His plan was to make a big deal of everything, as the factions against him would have no choice but to prioritize their reputation.

The more attention he received, the fairer his fight with the Chosen One would be.

Wanyan Gu asked, “How confident are you in your fight against the Chosen One?”

Ye Guan said, “A hundred percent!”

Wanyan Gu was astonished. “A hundred percent?!”

Ye Guan nodded. “A hundred percent.”

Wanyan Gu stared at Ye Guan. “Do you have no idea who you are up against? You’re going to fight the Chosen One! The Guanxuan Academy has been showering him with all of its resources.

”I’ve heard that his tutor is the Head Military Official of the Martial Department, and he was one of the participants of the Xuzhen Great War. The Chosen One is also being supported by the Milky Way Clan and the Future Clan.

”I don’t think I have to explain to you what that means. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion has also decided to take his side. Can you really say that you’re still a hundred percent confident knowing how many backers he has? You…”

Ye Guan chuckled and asked, “How many percent do you want me to say?”

Wanyan Gu froze and went silent.

Ye Guan said softly, “What do you think is going to happen to me if I lose?”

Wanyan Gu said solemnly, “You’ll die.”

Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”

Wanyan Gu continued. “What has that got to do with you being a hundred percent confident against the Chosen One?”

Ye Guan smiled, “The Chosen One must have a solid family background, not to mention the support of so many factions and organizations. However, do you really think that I have no backer?”

Wanyan Gu looked at Ye Guan and asked, “Do you have any backers?”

Ye Guan exclaimed, “Master Pagoda!”

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.

Wanyan Gu’s brows wrinkled. “Master Pagoda? A pagoda? Really?”

Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”

Wanyan Gu’s expression darkened as she said, “No offense, but do you really think that your Master Pagoda can compare to the Guanxuan Academy, Immortal Treasures Pavilion, the Milky Way Clan, and the Future Clan? Not to mention the aristocratic faction and the great clan faction.”

Ye Guan said earnestly, “Master Pagoda is a low-profile individual, but I know that he’s an extremely powerful powerhouse. I truly believe that he’ll stun the entire Guanxuan Universe the moment he reveals his true might.”

“Pfft!” Little Pagoda burst out laughing. “Hahaha!”

The mysterious voice pointed out. “He’s digging your grave for you.”

Little Pagoda said, “Don’t you think your opinion of him is a tad bit too negative? He’s a naughty brat, but he’s still an honest individual. I don’t think it’s healthy for you to always assume that he’s doing something wicked.”

The mysterious voice was speechless.

Meanwhile, Wanyan Gu’s brows furrowed. Master Pagoda? I’ve never heard of that name, but he must be an incredible powerhouse. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to nurture someone like Ye Guan.

Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Am I right, Master Pagoda?”

“Indeed.” Little Pagoda smiled and said, “One should always strive to be low profile, do you understand?”

“I understand.” Ye Guan nodded. ”Master Pagoda, I will carve your words on my heart.”

Little Pagoda’s smile deepened, and he said, “I’ll give you a cultivation method once we’ve arrived at the Guanxuan Universe. The density of spiritual energy in the Guanxuan Universe is enough for you to cultivate it.”

Ye Guan blinked, but he quickly composed himself and asked, “What is its name?”

Little Pagoda grinned. “Universe Beholdment.”

Universe Beholdment. Ye Guan was about to speak, but Little Pagoda added, “I made it.”

“Didn’t Great Daoist Brush Master create that cultivation method?” asked the mysterious voice.

“What?” Little Pagoda calmly asked, “Is it illegal to brag?”

The mysterious voice was rendered speechless.

“Master Pagoda!” Ye Guan called out and said, “Can you give it to me right now? I want to familiarize myself with it so I can start cultivating it the moment we arrive at the Guanxuan Universe.”

Little Pagoda thought about it before saying, “Okay.”

Boom!

A deluge of information flooded Ye Guan’s mind. Universe Beholdment.

“The way of heaven is to compensate for equilibrium; the way of man is to consume…”

Ye Guan’s expression soon turned serious. How horrifying! He truly didn’t expect that Little Pagoda had such a terrifying cultivation method. It was definitely better than most cultivation methods out there.

Honestly, Ye Guan couldn’t believe that Little Pagoda had created such an excellent cultivation method. After all, he had already learned to take Little Pagoda’s words with a grain of salt.

Ye Guan eventually exclaimed, “I have truly underestimated you, Master Pagoda! The fact that you managed to create such a terrifying cultivation means that you must have been a formidable powerhouse even during that era thirty million years ago, am I right?”

Little Pagoda chuckled and said, “Formidable might be an overstatement, but even the cream of the crop among powerhouses had to pay respect to me. In fact, even the Elders of the Guanxuan Academy had to greet—”

“Are you sure you want to tell him that?” interrupted the mysterious voice.

Little Pagoda immediately fell silent. I almost fell for it. Damn it, I really can’t say anything to this little bastard, and I also can’t let him feel too relaxed, or he’ll start coming up with his own theories.

Little Pagoda thought about it before continuing. “Times have changed. You have to be strong in your own right to survive. In other words, you have to work hard. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“I understand.” Ye Guan nodded and said, “I guess you’re afraid that I will stagnate and slack off the moment I discover my origins, and it must be the reason you’re actively avoiding my questions. As the old saying goes, heaven will send one on great missions, but one must go through all sorts of hardships first… I understand!”

Little Pagoda was speechless. I really don’t know what to say now that he said that.

Ye Guan went silent to ponder over the complexities of the Universe Beholdment.

He finally had another cultivation method to use. The quality of one’s cultivation method would decide the quality of one’s profound energy as well as the size of one’s profound energy reservoir.

Ye Guan was confident that Universe Beholdment would help him patch up his greatest and most glaring weakness. Moreover, Ye Guan also felt like he was about to make a breakthrough. The feeling first appeared after he fought the Martial Goddess.

The feeling of overflowing. It was not that he did not have to do anything to allow the water to flow in a certain way. He had to keep working hard to guide the water to flow in a specific direction. If he did not do anything, he was just waiting to die.

The feeling was akin to an overflowing container, and Ye Guan had been managing the surplus of profound energy in a certain way and in a specific direction. Otherwise, he would have died from a deviation long ago.

Ye Guan took less than two hours to comprehend the gist of Universe Beholdment. He took a moment to compose himself before he started cultivating.

Boom!

The surrounding spiritual energy was cleanly sucked into him the moment he circulated the Universe Beholdment cultivation method.

Ye Guan was stunned.

Wanyan Gu was shocked, and she hurriedly said, “The spiritual energy in the air here is there to maintain the array’s integrity. This spacetime tunnel will collapse if you absorb all the spiritual energy in here.”

Ye Guan chuckled sheepishly and stopped cultivating.

“What was that cultivation method? “Wanyan Gu looked at Ye Guan and asked, “That was so scary!”

Ye Guan smiled and said, “My Master Pagoda made it.”

Wanyan Gu stared deeply into Ye Guan’s eyes, and she sounded serious as she asked, “Does your Master Pagoda need more disciples? I’m available, so can I apply to become his disciple?”

Ye Guan. “...”

Little Pagoda. “...”

Three days later, Ye Guan saw a ray of light in the distance. They were soon enveloped by the light, and the two found themselves in a valley. They looked around and realized that they were surrounded by thousands of teleportation arrays

“What a dense spiritual energy!” Ye Guan exclaimed in awe. The spiritual energy here was at least ten times denser than the spiritual energy on the Zhongtu Divine Continent. It felt like the entire universe was a cultivation ground for all cultivators.

“Are we going to the Academy right away?” asked Wanyan Gu.

Ye Guan shook his head and replied, “No, I’m going to Lingxu Cave.”

Wanyan Gu was confused. “What are you going to do there?”

Ye Guan smiled. He didn’t answer Wanyan Gu’s question. Instead, he gazed deeply at her and said, “I can make my way by myself here, Lady Wanyan. Thank you for staying with me until the end. As for my debt… I’ll pay you back once I get accepted by my original clan. Is that okay?”

Wanyan Gu hesitated before asking, “Is your father poor?”

Ye Guan pondered briefly. “I think he earns just the right amount of money.”

Wanyan Gu stared intently at Ye Guan. “I’ll visit you in your clan one day, so you better not say that you don’t owe me anything by then.”

Ye Guan smiled and said, “I’ll definitely pay you back.”

Wanyan Gu nodded. “I’m from the Guanxuan Mercenary Group. If you need anything, find me there.”

Ye Guan said, “Till we meet again.”

“Till we meet again,” said Wanyan Gu with a nod.

Ye Guan cupped his fist toward Wanyan Gu before hopping onto his sword and disappearing into the horizon.

Wanyan Gu stared at the horizon and muttered, “He’s a monstrous talent with a great personality, but it’s a pity… it truly is a shame that his background isn’t that great.”

Wanyan Gu sighed, and she smiled bitterly upon recalling Ye Guan’s words. “Once he gets accepted by his original clan… it seems that I won't be getting my money back.”

Lingxu Blessed Land was one of the blessed lands of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, so it wasn't that difficult for Ye Guan to find out where the Lingxu Blessed Land was located. Ye Guan hopped in his space ship and embarked on a journey to the Lingxu Blessed Land.

He had no choice but to use his space ship, as he was still on the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s blacklist.

Ye Guan soon arrived at the foot of Mount Lingxu,

Ye Guan walked over to an old man and said, “Senior, can you please inform Brother Longhu that Ye Guan has come to visit him?”

“Ye Guan?” The old man froze and asked, “Are you that Ye Guan from the Zhongtu Divine Continent?”

Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”

“Give me a moment,” said the old man before he disappeared into thin air.

Fifteen minutes later, the powerhouses and elders of the Lingxu Blessed Land gathered at Lingxu Palace. The leader of Lingxu Blessed Land—Zhang Yuntian—stood at the helm.

Zhang Longhu and the old man who had gone with Zhang Longhu to the Zhongtu Divine Continent stood next to Zhang Yuntian.

“Ye Guan is here,” said Zhang Yuntian. He didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, prompting everyone to look at each other.

Soon, an elder said, “He does not get along with the Chosen One like water and fire. If we treat him well, we’ll offend the Chosen One. Our Lingxu Blessed Land will be in danger if we offend the Chosen One.”

A middle-aged man nodded and said, “The influential figures, organizations, clans, and families in the Guanxuan Universe have decided to stand on the Chosen One’s side.

”The Immortal Treasures Pavilion, the Future Clan, the Milky Way Clan, and even the Head Military Official of the Guanxuan Academy’s Martial Department have also decided to stand next to the Chosen One.”

“In other words, we have to draw a clear line between us and Ye Guan. It is imperative that we keep our Lingxu Blessed Land away from trouble.”

Another elder spoke, “Ye Guan is talented, but he cannot possibly compare to the Chosen One. The Academy and the Chosen One are obviously treating him as a stepping stone for the sake of the Chosen One’s growth.

”We don’t want anyone to misunderstand that we are connected with Ye Guan in any way lest the Chosen One decide to attack us.”

The remaining elders nodded to express their agreement.

Zhang Yuntian turned to look at the Grand Elder next to him.

“Grand Elder, you met him, right? What do you think of him?”

The Grand Elder was silent for quite a while before replying, “He’s a monstrous talent with a kind and sincere heart. I’m sure he’ll achieve great things in the future.” The Grand Elder stood up and added, “I’ll go ahead and welcome him myself.”

The Grand Elder’s decision to welcome Ye Guan was akin to a lightning bolt from out of the blue, freezing everyone where they stood and rendering them speechless.
