I Have a Sword - Chapter 670: Invincibility Is an Understatement

Destroy them? The Sword Master was surprised by the lady in a plain skirt’s suggestion.

“I’m ready anytime,” said the lady in a plain skirt.

“Let’s not rush; let’s wait and see.”

“Of course.”

“Qing’er, just how powerful are you?” asked the Sword Master out of curiosity.

Brushing her hair aside, Qing’er calmly replied, “To claim invincibility would be modest.”

The Sword Master was at a loss for words.

And that was when Qing’er turned to him and asked, “Do you believe me?”

“I do.”

A smile tugged at Qing’er’s lips.

Gazing at the starry sky, the Sword Master murmured, “That boy seems to have gathered quite a few enemies.”

They had been observing Ye Guan from the shadows for quite a while now, and they noticed that his enemies were multiplying and growing even stronger as time went on.

He felt slightly worried about Ye Guan, but he knew that he had to move on eventually.

The Sword Master grabbed the lady in a plain skirt’s hand and said, “We’ll leave once everything here is settled.”

Qing’er nodded in agreement.

***

Returning to the world inside the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan immediately sat down and closed his eyes deep in concentration.

The recent battle had given him many insights.

One of those insights was the fact that he had to increase his mastery over Space Overlap and Heavenrend Quickdraw.

Without the aid of the Qingxuan Sword, they were too weak against a Divine Dao Realm elite with sixty percent divinity.

Ye Guan had unknowingly his sword techniques, as he was too focused on his sword cultivation realm and cultivation base.

Fortunately, his sword techniques were growth-type techniques that could become even stronger with practice.

Therefore, Ye Guan decided to make them become even stronger.

Space Overlap allowed Ye Guan to perform sword moves in independent bubbles of spacetime, and it was all about accumulating attacks in every independent space and then overlapping them in reality to generate a devastating, explosive attack.

Ye Guan could easily perform two Space Overlaps at once, and he wanted to master more than just two Space Overlaps.

If I can consistently perform three Space Overlaps at once, or even more… With determination, Ye Guan started polishing his sword techniques. Ye Guan diligently refined his swordsmanship, relying solely on his Invincible Sword Intent without the help of his bloodline or any external tools.

Shockingly, he discovered that his Invincible Sword Intent had improved significantly after the recent fight.

Meanwhile, Erya and Little White mentored Ao Qianqian.

Combat was the lesson of the day.

Erya imparted a wealth of combat techniques, drawing from her extensive experience in battle and her tutelage under Martial God An. She had much experience in battles and was a master of strength manipulation.

Ao Qianqian’s strength improved by leaps and bounds, and she soon found herself standing at the peak of the Ancient Sovereign Realm.

She was just a step away from the Human Dao Realm.

Moreover, Little White gave Ao Qianqian a ton of divine treasures until she was covered in divine treasures from head to toe.

If Ye Guan fought Ao Qianqian with her array of divine treasures, even Ye Guan would stand a chance against her unless he wielded the Qingxuan Sword.

One day, Ao Qianqian turned to Erya before her and asked, “Senior Erya, are you holding back your true strength?”

During their sparring sessions, Ao Qianqian noticed something peculiar about Erya’s strength. Against outsiders, her strength seemed inconsistent, but she’d become extremely powerful against allies.

Licking her hawthorn candy, Erya calmly replied, “No.”

Ao Qianqian couldn’t help but feel suspicious about it.

After a moment of contemplation, Erya asked, “Do you think this world needs order?”

“Yes.”

Throughout their journey, they stumbled upon many places where the elites ruled, but chaos prevailed.

Erya shook her head. “I don’t think an order really matters in the grand scheme of things. I’m too strong for anyone to bully me, and anyone daring enough to bully me will not be affected by any order.”

“There are still people capable of bullying you?”

“Yes, but there are only a couple of them.”

Ao Qianqian was silent for a while before changing the topic. “But Little Guan wants to establish an order…”

“I know.”

“Why are you helping him if you don’t really think that an order matters that much?”

“Because he’s family!”

Ao Qianqian was stunned.

“Of course, we help our own,” Erya said in a matter-of-factly way.

Ao Qianqian smiled. The Yang family was kind toward her and Xiao Guan.

After a moment of contemplation, Erya said, “Actually, it’s the weak who needs an order. Those strong embody order in itself. Take Little Guan’s father, grandfather, and aunt, for example. The existence of an order does not matter to them, and even if there’s an order, they’ll remain unaffected by it.”

“Then why do they want Little Guan to establish an order?”

“It’s his training.”

“Training?”

“Don’t you think Little Guan needs more training?”

Ao Qianqian muttered, “He does…”

Erya licked her hawthorn candy again before saying, “Being in a family like his family is both a blessing and a curse. His ancestors are incredibly strong, so he’s destined to never lead an easy life. Moreover, they have high expectations of him, hoping he’ll carve out a completely new path.”

“A completely new path?”

Erya nodded. “Humanity.”

“I see. When one reaches the Divine Dao Realm, one must start cultivating divinity. But Little Guan…”

“He can’t cultivate divinity. Someone will come to tell him more about it when the time comes.”

Ao Qianqian was curious. “Who is it?”

Leaning closer, Erya whispered into Ao Qianqian’s ear.

Ao Qianqian was astonished. “That’s unexpected…”

Erya nodded knowingly, and Ao Qianqian fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

“At first, Little Guan was impatient and was always in a rush to become even stronger. However, he’s grown more steady recently. Unfortunately, he has to walk down a brand-new path once he reaches the Heaven Dao Realm. Only then can he truly start on his own journey…” Erya trailed off and stared at Ao Qianqian. “How come you two haven’t consummated your marriage yet?”

Ao Qianqian was caught off guard by Erya’s question, and her cheeks instantly flushed red with embarrassment.

“Your bond with him will grow deeper, and you’ll become even stronger as well just by consummating your marriage with him. It’s all because of his three bloodlines; you can borrow them to improve your own bloodline.”

Ao Qianqian looked down and muttered, “Let’s… talk about that next time…”

Honestly, Ao Qianqian was too shy to bring up the topic herself, and Ye Guan had been so preoccupied with battles and training lately that he had no time to do that.

“Should I feed him an aphrodisiac?” Erya asked nonchalantly.

Ao Qianqian blinked in astonishment. However, she fiercely resisted the idea, forcing Erya to drop it.

Erya actually wanted to feed Ye Guan an aphrodisiac for fun.

Knowing that Erya was capable of doing just about anything, Ao Qianqian made Erya promise that she wouldn’t drug Ye Guan.

In the end, Ao Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief when Erya finally gave up.

Feeding him with an aphrodisiac. Ao Qianqian shook her head and chuckled. For some reason, it actually sounded fun.

“Let’s go to the Human Dao Realm!” Erya exclaimed.

Ao Qianqian snapped out of her thoughts and nodded in agreement.

And just like that, she continued cultivating under Erya and Little White’s guidance.

***

The Northern Sealing Divine General stood respectfully in a grand hall located within the Northern Qi Mountains of the Ancient Wilderness.

A middle-aged man clad in a wide robe was sitting not too far away from him. The middle-aged man was exuding a commanding presence.

He was none other than the Northern Demon King, one of the four demon kings of the Ancient Wilderness.

The Northern Demon King stared deeply at the Northern Sealing Divine General and asked, “Did you lose?”

“Yes, he wielded a divine sword that effortlessly pierced through my defenses…”

The Northern Sealing Divine General couldn’t help but feel frustrated. He was definitely going to become a laughingstock from now on after suffering a defeat at the hands of a cultivator with such a low cultivation base.

however, he had no choice but to retreat, so he decided to return and report the truth. The young man was indeed extraordinary. Ye Guan undoubtedly had a remarkable background.

An ordinary family couldn’t possibly produce such a monstrous genius.

The Northern Demon King rose slowly and said, “It must’ve been left behind by the First God.”

The Northern Sealing Divine General fell silent. The First God was truly remarkable, and he reigned supreme even over the Ancient Wilderness at the time.

There was no denying it. A cultivator with a hundred percent divinity was simply outrageous.

And now, all they could ascertain was that Ye Guan was the inheritor of the First God’s legacy.

The Northern Sealing Divine General suddenly said, “Tell Shen Ye to come here.”

An old man withdrew, and Shen Ye was soon inside the grand hall.

Shen Ye’s expression was complex as he stared at the Northern Demon King seated in the grand hall. He bowed slightly and waited for the latter’s words.

The Northern Demon King stared deeply at Shen Ye and said, “You’ve spent some time with Ye Guan. I want you to tell me more about him.”

Shen Ye’s expression immediately turned grave, realizing that the Ancient Wilderness was planning to take action against Ye Guan.

The Northern Sealing Divine General also looked at Shen Ye. He was curious about Ye Guan as well.

Shen Ye sounded solemn as he said, “I don’t know his true origins, but he’s no ordinary individual. He’s accompanied by an Evil Beast and a Spirit Progenitor…”

Shen Ye glanced at the Northern Demon King. He shared these details in hopes of dissuading the Ancient Wilderness from targeting Ye Guan.

Although he was now part of the Ancient Wilderness, he still didn’t want to be enemies with Ye Guan.

Setting aside their past friendship, he also had a gut feeling that the Ancient Wilderness could not necessarily defeat Ye Guan.

The Northern Demon King suddenly asked, “Does Ye Guan possess a black ancient book?”

Shen Ye hesitated briefly before nodding quietly.

“Rumors say that it’s a journal left behind by the First God, and it contains a cultivation method for each level of divinity. It also contains a cultivation method to reach a hundred percent divinity…” the Northern Demon King trailed off. His eyes narrowed as he stood up and said, “It seems that I must visit him personally.”
