I Have A Sword

Chapter 678: Plain Skirt's Divinity

Honestly, Ye Guan felt a bit embarrassed, especially when the lady before him mentioned those two words so calmly. However, he had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense. In this world, many people know that certain actions are wrong but still commit them. Why? Desire. Greed. Who can restrain their own desires and greed? Can I?

Ye Guan sighed inwardly.

The lady suddenly said, "Your family elder must be an extraordinary person. However, the goal they've set for you is extremely distant, far beyond your current reach. But it's good that you have the wisdom to understand you shouldn't aim too high too soon and instead take things step by step. That's commendable."

Ye Guan smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, senior."

The lady looked at Ye Guan, "At first, I thought you would keep slashing away indefinitely, but you eventually recognized reality and faced it. That was somewhat unexpected."

Ye Guan said, "I came here to seek opportunities and also to train myself. I must thank you, senior, for showing mercy."

The lady suddenly asked, "I heard from the people outside, from the God Clan, that you possess First God's legacy?"

Ye Guan nodded, "Yes."

The lady looked at Ye Guan, "Does that include the journal?"

Ye Guan smiled, "Yes."

The lady seemed hesitant to speak.

Ye Guan suddenly said, "Senior, would you like to see it?"

The lady stared at Ye Guan without speaking.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the black ancient book slowly floated toward the lady, "Senior, you can take a look."

The lady didn't take the black ancient book. She continued to stare at Ye Guan, "Do you know what this is?"

Ye Guan nodded, "First God's journal."

The lady shook her head slightly, "You don't understand what I'm talking about."

Ye Guan smiled. "I heard that it contains the method to attain hundred percent divinity."

The lady stared at Ye Guan, "Then why do you let me see it?"

Ye Guan thought for a moment and then said, "With your strength, senior, taking this item from me, let alone killing me, would be an easy task. But you didn't do that. If someone shows me respect, I will show them even greater respect. It's just a journal. If you want to read it, please go ahead."

The lady looked at Ye Guan for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "I find myself liking you, young man."

Ye Guan smiled without speaking.

The lady gazed at the journal in front of her. After a long time, a complex emotion flickered in her eyes. She lightly tapped the journal with two fingers, and it flew back to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was a bit surprised.

The lady smiled, "The way lies in your heart, there's no need to seek it outside."

Ye Guan fell silent.

The lady continued, "First God was a remarkable person, but unfortunately, he was troubled by love..."

Ye Guan was curious, "Troubled by love?"

The lady smiled, "You don't know?"

Ye Guan shook his head, "Apart from passing on his legacy, First God didn't tell me anything else."

The lady smiled, "He was in love with a lady from the Primordial Spirit Land. That lady was the Primordial Spirit Maiden, the most beautiful lady of our era."

Ye Guan asked, puzzled, "More beautiful than you, senior?"

The lady laughed heartily, "When you put away your sword, you don't seem like a swordsman at all. By the way, do you have many wives?"

Ye Guan was speechless.

The lady laughed, "It's understandable. With your handsome looks, great talent, eloquence, and invincible family background, you must have many wives."

Ye Guan smiled awkwardly, then said, "Please tell me about the Primordial Spirit Land, senior."

The lady asked back, "You don't know about the Primordial Spirit Land?"

Ye Guan shook his head, "No."

The lady seemed puzzled, "With your family background, it's impossible you don't know about the Primordial Spirit Land..."

Ye Guan smiled, "The elders in my family are mostly low-key and rarely appear in public."

Whether it was his father, his Plain Skirt Aunt, his grandfather, or the Unfettered Swordsman, they were not interested in lower-level affairs. Only extremely powerful opponents could catch their attention.

The lady nodded slightly, "I see...The Primordial Spirit Land is a special place. There is a race called the Primordial Spirit Clan. They are a very unique group, and their cultivation method is different from ours. However, all paths lead to the same destination. Ultimately, they also cultivate divinity."

Ye Guan asked, "Who is stronger, the Primordial Spirits or the God Clan?"

The lady smiled, "If First God were in the God Clan, then the God Clan would be stronger. But now, the Primordial Spirit Land is much stronger, by a significant margin."

Ye Guan fell silent.

The woman smiled, "Back then, First God and that Primordial Spirit Maiden were like an immortal couple."

Ye Guan was astonished, "They ended up together?"

The woman nodded, "Yes, they did. And they even had a child..."

At this point, she looked at Ye Guan. Ye Guan quickly waved his hand, "Senior, don't look at me. It is definitely not me."

The woman laughed, "Why not?"

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment and then said, "If he had such an idea, he wouldn't have lived that long."

His father has his Plain Skirt Aunt and his grandfather. They were not to be trifled with! His past life must be spotless.

The woman gave Ye Guan a meaningful look. She didn't think this young man was exaggerating.

So young, so monstrously talented—even in the Primordial Spirit Land, he would undoubtedly be an ultimate genius among the younger generation. Such a talented individual could only be nurtured by a super powerful force, and only such a force could protect him.

Ye Guan was curious, "If they were together, why did First God still suffer from emotional turmoil?"

The woman smiled, "Why don't you take a guess?"

Ye Guan said solemnly, "The woman eventually chose the path of pure divinity..."

The woman nodded, "Yes, the woman pursued divinity. Initially, she still had her humanity, but in the end, to achieve pure divinity, she eradicated what little humanity she had left..."

She shook her head slightly, "Actually, the woman's talent was not inferior to First God's, but First God underestimated her determination to pursue the Great Dao. In the end, they drifted apart and became strangers."

Ye Guan sighed inwardly.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why First God chose to release himself.

The person he loved turned into a stranger. If it were him, he couldn't accept it either.

Thinking of this, Ye Guan suddenly became curious and asked internally, "Master Pagoda, is my Plain Skirt Aunt at ninety percent divinity?"

The Little Pagoda replied, "Yes."

Ye Guan asked solemnly, "Is her ninety percent divinity the same as others'?"

The Little Pagoda was silent.

Ye Guan smiled bitterly, "Master Pagoda, I've come this far, what do you still need to hide from me?"

The Little Pagoda said softly, "Her divinity is different from others because she can suppress divinity with humanity...Do you know how terrifying that is?"

Ye Guan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

The Little Pagoda explained, "You can understand it this way: she is truly herself. The so-called humanity and divinity have no influence on her. In her presence, both divinity and humanity are mere slaves...While others are cultivating divinity and humanity, she is enslaving them...No, that's not right...I don't know how to describe her. From my understanding, she has transcended all recognition. No one but herself knows the extent of her power."

Ye Guan remained silent. Beyond all comprehension.

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. Plain Skirt Aunt was simply outrageous.

The Little Pagoda continued, "However, I can confirm that her divinity isn't the purest."

Ye Guan asked, "My father?"

The Little Pagoda replied, "Yes, your father holds a weight in her heart that surpasses everything. It's fortunate. If your aunt truly had no attachments, it would be extremely dangerous. You must know, back then she was the ultimate BOSS."

Ye Guan was puzzled, "Boss?"

The Little Pagoda said calmly, "The biggest villain."

Ye Guan hesitated and then said, "No way, Plain Skirt Aunt is very nice."

The Little Pagoda said calmly, "She is now. Back then, she nearly wiped out your family."

Ye Guan was speechless.

The Little Pagoda sighed deeply. It had to admit, thinking back to those days still made it shudder. That woman had appeared with an invincible demeanor, pressuring the old master so much he could barely breathe. Even the invincible Unfettered Swordsman couldn't deal with her.

Moreover, in that battle, the Yang family had almost been annihilated.

The Little Pagoda continued, "Don't dwell on your aunt's realm issues. The more you think about it, the more pressure you'll feel, and you won't understand it. When you meet her in the future, you can ask her. However, I doubt she'll tell you anything."

Ye Guan was puzzled, "Why not?"

The Little Pagoda said, "Would you discuss realm issues with an ant?"

Ye Guan was silent.

The Little Pagoda said, "Don't be offended. I speak frankly."

Ye Guan smiled, "How could I be? By the way, Master Pagoda, what about Aunt Ye Qingqing? Has she always been so temperamental?"

The Little Pagoda immediately replied, "Yes, she was always wild, extremely wild, with a very volatile temper..."

At this point, it seemed to realize something and stopped talking.

At this moment, Ye Guan suddenly opened his palm, revealing a crystal ball. Ye Guan calmly said, "Master Pagoda, this is called a recorder. My mother invented it. It can record images and sounds for a period of time. I recorded everything you just said."

The Little Pagoda was speechless.

Ye Guan said seriously, "Talking behind someone's back isn't very nice."

The Little Pagoda was silent for a moment, then said, "It's a bit underhanded for you to do this..."

Ye Guan said seriously, "It's not great to badmouth people either."

The Little Pagoda said, "I apologize for what I said before. You're not an ant. In fact, you're quite strong now..."

Ye Guan laughed heartily, crushed the crystal ball, and said with a smile, "Master Pagoda, I know how much you've helped and cared for me all these years. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

The Little Pagoda interrupted him, "Just get to the point. Don't talk like that. It scares me!"

Ye Guan was dumbfounded...
