I Have A Sword

The Path Sword flew out, and the entire Ancient Wilderness witnessed the descent of a sword.

Boom!

The entire Ancient Wilderness was consumed by a world-ending explosion.

The God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness were no more.

Two attacks were all it took for the God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness to no longer exist.

Upon sensing the destruction of the Ancient Wilderness, the two Demon Kings slumped to the ground.

The Ancient Wilderness no longer existed.

Meanwhile, the Demon God remained eerily still in the shadows.

Madam Chu's gaze was unwittingly transfixed on the lady in the plain skirt, and her emotions were as tumultuous as a stormy sea.

"I refuse to believe that you have ninety percent divinity!" Shen Hao exclaimed; he was still on his knees.

All eyes landed on him, and he closed his eyes slowly.

Soon, his spectral form was set ablaze.

What is he doing? The onlookers were confused.

However, the supreme elites of the God Clan were thrilled.

Shen Hao had decided to summon his true body.

As Shen Hao's true form ignited, an ominous aura began to spread, permeating the vast expanse.

Heads turned upward in unison, and they saw a middle-aged man emerging from the starry skies.

The newcomer was none other than Shen Hao, and he had come here in his true body.

The expressions of those present changed the moment they clapped their eyes on Shen Hao's true body.

Unlike the lady in the plain skirt, Shen Hao's aura was imposing. It pressed down on the hearts of all of them like a myriad of towering mountains; they could hardly breathe.

Madam Chu's gaze bore into Shen Hao as she cried out, "He's close to ninety percent divinity!"

Although Shen Hao had yet to reach ninety percent divinity, his aura told everyone that he was on the cusp of reaching ninety percent divinity.

Shen Hao's aura also told everyone that he was invincible against those below ninety percent divinity.

Madam Chu's gaze settled on the lady in the plain skirt, and she wondered. Is she truly at ninety percent divinity?

Madam Chu wasn't the only one staring at the lady in the plain skirt; everyone else was staring at her as well.

Shen Hao's gaze bore into her as he said, "I refuse to believe that you are ninety percent divine."

Hearing that, the lady in the plain skirt extended a single finger. Then, she brought it down gently and said, "Kneel."

Boom!

Before anyone could react, Shen Hao fell to his knees.

The battlefield became silent, and everyone was frozen in disbelief.

He just knelt down like that? Everyone stared at Shen Hao in utter confusion.

Madam Chu's figure trembled like an aspen tree as she stared at the lady in the plain skirt.

She had some doubts earlier, but she was very certain now. The plain skirt lady was definitely a top-tier supreme elite at ninety percent divinity.

Meanwhile, the supreme elites of the God Clan looked like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

It's over. It's all over. Any ray of hope that they had been harboring upon seeing Shen Hao's true body was immediately extinguished.

The plain-skirt lady was indeed the real deal. She was truly ninety percent divine.

Shen Hao looked up at the lady in the plain skirt, and his expression filled with bewilderment as he said, "Are you truly at ninety percent divinity?"

"Ninety percent divinity?" the lady in the plain skirt's face remained indifferent, but her eyes were filled with disdain at Shen Hao's remark. "What does that garbage even mean?"

The lady in the plain skirt flicked her sleeve.

Boom!

The supreme elites of the God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness were erased, becoming nothingness in the blink of an eye.

The battlefield became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Just then, the lady in the plain skirt's gaze landed on Madam Chu. Sensing her gaze, Madam Chu's expression changed abruptly, and she hurriedly said, "W-we're were just spectators! We have no ill will toward Young Master Ye."

The lady in the plain skirt shifted her focus to Ye Guan and said, "The path ahead... you must tread it by yourself."

Ye Guan asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving?"

"We wish to go somewhere."

"All right."

The Sword Master turned to Ye Guan just then and opened his palm, revealing the Qingxuan Sword. After a moment of contemplation, he handed it to Ye Guan. "Take it."

Ye Guan was about to refuse, but the Sword Master added, "You may not need it, but you must have it."

"Okay," Ye Guan said after a brief moment of contemplation. He accepted the Qingxuan Sword and put it away.

The Sword Master smiled slightly and said, "We're leaving now."

"Wait!" Ye Guan exclaimed upon recalling something. He stared at the lady in the plain skirt next to him and asked, "Aunt, I have a concern."

The lady in the plain skirt stared wordlessly at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was puzzled. What's up with that stare?

The little pagoda chimed in for the rescue, "She's afraid that you might ask dumb questions."

Ye Guan froze; he had no idea what to say.

Fortunately, the lady in the plain skirt finally spoke up, saying, "Go ahead, ask."

"Aunt, I've learned to manipulate the special spacetime energy that you left behind. Can you give me some guidance as to what I'm supposed to do next?"

Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing a sword. The sword contained a powerful spacetime energy.

The lady in the plain skirt glanced at the sword but remained silent, making Ye Guan feel a bit uneasy.

"That's one of the many ways of using that, but how about you try integrating that spacetime energy into your sword domain?”

Ye Guan was taken aback. "Is that even possible?"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan nodded and said, "Okay."

All of a sudden, the lady in the plain skirt opened her palm, and the sword in Ye Guan's hand flew into her palm.

She stared at the sword made out of sword intent and said, "It's fine to borrow this spacetime energy, but you must understand that this power does not truly belong to you. Therefore, you must learn to create time and space..."

"Create time and space?"

"Feel it, grasp its essence, and finally, innovate... You should be able to do that."

"I understand."

Imitate first, and then I'll innovate, Ye Guan thought.

"Good luck," the lady in the plain skirt said, nodding. Then, she opened her palm, and roughly a hundred storage rings floated over to Ye Guan.

These were her spoils of war. She couldn't care less about these storage rings, so she decided to give them to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was stunned to see so many storage rings.

The lady in the plain skirt said nothing and walked away with the man in white.

Staring at their departing figures, Ye Guan couldn't help but ask, "Will we meet again?"

The lady in the plain skirt didn't look back and simply nodded in response.

A smile tugged at Ye Guan's lips.

Swoosh!

The lady in the plain skirt and the man in white disappeared into the distant starry sky.

Ye Guan felt a bit lost at their departure. The time we spend together whenever we meet has always been so short. Fortunately, we will meet again.

Just then, Zhen Tian and his clan members approached Ye Guan.

Zhen Tian was smiling slightly as he asked, "Who were those two just now?"

"They're my father and my aunt," Ye Guan replied.

Zhen Tian nodded. He wanted to ask something else, but he thought better of it. Since the other party was keeping a low profile, it was best not to ask such questions.

"From now on, the territories of the Ancient Wilderness and the God Clan belong to the Zhen Clan."

The lady in the plain skirt had wiped out the God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness; their subsidiary star fields and worlds were still in existence. In fact, the majority of their territories were still intact and available for the taking.

Zhen Tian couldn't help but feel excited at Ye Guan's remark, but he had always been a rational man, so he quickly calmed down. After hesitating for a while, Zhen Tian said, "We should split them evenly between us; they have far too many territories for us to take all by ourselves."

Zhen Tian knew that it would be too much if the Zhen Clan were to swallow up everything.

Ye Guan was the one who had brought upon the destruction of the God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness rather than the Zhen Clan.

They couldn't be too greedy!

"Senior, my family runs an academy," Ye Guan said, "I would like to invite the Zhen Clan to join our academy. Of course, the Zhen Clan will still be the Zhen Clan..."

Zhen Tian was quiet.

"Senior, don't worry. The Zhen Clan will still be allies of our Guanxuan Academy, even if you decide against joining us. Of course, I'm not going to force the Zhen Clan to join us."

"I can't make this big of a decision by myself. Allow me to go back and discuss it with my clan members."

"Of course."

The two of them chatted for a while longer, mainly about Guanxuan Academy and the establishment of a new order.

Eventually, Ye Guan left, and Zhen Tian stared at Ye Guan's departing figure with a complex gaze.

Just then, an elder of the Zhen Clan said, "Clan Leader, our Zhen Clan cannot join that Guanxuan Academy. Won't we become subjects of that Guanxuan Academy if we end up joining them? That is unacceptable."

Zhen Tian shook his head slightly and said, "Young Master Ye has said that he's not going to force us, but a huge problem will pop up with that decision. It's the issue of connection. The current young generation of our clan has a connection with Young Master Ye, so it's easy for us to talk terms with him, but what about the next generation? What if Young Master Ye no longer holds power?"

The crowd fell silent.

Zhen Tian added in a low voice, "We have to look at the bigger picture. If we don't join his Guanxuan Academy, there will be two forces here in the future, and there will certainly be many conflicts between us. Of course, as long as we and Young Master Ye are here, those conflicts will certainly be minor issues. However, what do you think would happen once we're no longer here? Our Zhen Clan will certainly give birth to an idiot or two, and they could easily ruin everything..."

The faces of the Zhen Clan's supreme elites darkened.

Ninety percent divinity!

A top-tier supreme elite with ninety percent divinity was the Guanxuan Academy's backer.

The Zhen Clan was already inferior to the Guanxuan Academy based on that alone.

However, they still found it hard to join the Guanxuan Academy. It was just a difficult pill to swallow.

Just then, Zhen Tian added, "Actually, we don't need to be so worried. We should always be looking at the bigger picture in the wisest maner. Think about it, is this Young Master Ye's goal just the Old Era?"

The crowd was stunned.

"If we jump onto his ship and follow him, who knows how far we can go?"
