I Have A Sword

Chapter 98: Bury Me With Her

Ye Guan sat on the ground with an ashen look.

There’s something strange here. Why is it starting earlier than planned?

He got up and left. He decided to ask Qin Feng about the situation.

Ye Guan headed for the teleportation hub of the Profound World. The teleportation hub of the Profound World housed many teleportation arrays connected to the nodes of many worlds. Of course, they were expensive.

Ye Guan felt a stinging pain in his chest upon thinking about how much money he had spent climbing the tower. Overall, he had spent a whopping three million gold spiritual crystals.

He still had twenty-seven million gold spiritual crystals. It seemed a lot, but it wasn’t that many spiritual crystals in the grand scheme.

Ye Guan’s gold spiritual crystal consumption rate was absurd. He had to consume a few million gold spiritual crystals just to cultivate.

Fortunately, he had been eating dragon meat whenever he got hungry while cultivating. Otherwise, his rate of progress would have been slower.

Dragon meat was much more effective than elixirs. Dragon meat and dragon blood were great supplements that strengthened his physique as well, and he was sure that other cultivators would have done the same if they were in his shoes.

An hour later, Ye Guan arrived at the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

Qin Feng came out to greet him. “Come with me.”

Qin Feng led Ye Guan into a room. Ye Guan looked at him and asked, “Am I the reason why the Destiny Contest is commencing earlier than scheduled?”

Qin Feng nodded, confirming Ye Guan’s suspicion.

Ye Guan stayed silent, and Qin Feng explained, “I received news that the Clan Leader of the An Clan, An Ya, personally went to the Guanxuan Academy of the Zhongtu Divine Continent to talk with Academy Chief Gu.

”Their objective is obvious. They don’t want to give you time to become even stronger. They want to kill you as soon as possible.” contemporary romance

Ye Guan nodded. “I see.”

Qin Feng stared at Ye Guan and continued. “I received another piece of news. A monstrous talent of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan has arrived in the Zhongtu Divine Continent. The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan sent him here to kill you.”

Ye Guan pondered over Qin Feng’s words for quite a while before asking, “How about the An Clan?”

Qin Feng answered, “The An Clan’s representative is An Daoxin. She’s one of the most monstrous talents in the history of the An Clan. She’s an even better talent than An Mu. She has been cultivating in the Main Guanxuan Academy since she was young, and she’s insanely powerful as well.”

Qin Feng paused for a while before continuing. “She has many friends as well because of the An Clan’s deep history and influence. Her friends are all from the great clans, and they’re also the representatives of their own clans. In other words, her friends will probably become your enemies.”

Ye Guan fell silent.

Qin Feng’s voice deepened as he said, “Brother Ye, I suggest that you don’t participate in the upcoming Great Dao Destiny Contest.

“You should head to the Main Guanxuan Academy. You will definitely be accepted there with your talent and prowess. You’ll be under Representative Ye’s protection, and the An Clan will not dare to touch you there.”

Ye Guan asked, “What do you think the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan will do if I follow your suggestion?”

Qin Feng’s expression fell. The An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan would then be able to send their powerhouses to hunt Ye Guan down.

They could easily force him out of the Main Guanxuan Academy under the excuse of a mission to ambush him outside the academy.

Ye Guan chuckled and explained, “I think the best decision I can take here is to join the Destiny Contest and win. By then, I’m sure they won’t dare to make a move against me.

”The Main Guanxuan Academy also wouldn’t allow the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan to take revenge on me for fear of ruining their long-established reputation.”

Qin Feng pondered over Ye Guan’s words for a while before saying, “Brother Ye, you’re right! I failed to consider that possibility. Anyway, are you confident?”

Ye Guan stared deeply at Qin Feng and replied, “I am confident.”

Qin Feng was taken aback by Ye Guan’s straightforward answer. “Brother Ye, do you have any idea just how monstrous the talents you will have to face in the upcoming Destiny Contest?”

Ye Guan nodded. “I have my own presumptions.”

“Brother Ye, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, but they’re extreme talents,” said Qin Feng, and his gaze deepened as he continued. “Every contestant is from a great clan.

”An Daoxin has access to unparalleled resources and a great knowledge base as a student of the Main Guanxuan Academy, but she’s not the only monstrous talent.

“Dongli Mo of the Undying Clan is even more of a monster than her. His Undying Bloodline means that it is nigh impossible to defeat him. His Dao Protector is also a cream of the crop elite from thirty million years ago.”

Qin Feng stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “The contestants have their own powerful Dao Protectors. Do you have any idea what Dao Protectors do?”

Ye Guan nodded.

“I’ve heard of Dao Protectors before, but I really don’t know what they do,” he said.

Ye Guan knew that his Dao Protector was Plain-Skirt Sister, but it had been a long time since he last saw her.

“A Dao Protector does exactly what their title says. They protect someone else’s Dao. The road of cultivation is filled with dangers, and even the most extreme talent out there can die if they have no Dao Protectors.

“Accidents are bound to happen, after all. Dao Protectors exist to help you overcome those accidents,” said Qin Feng.

Ye Guan fell silent, and he asked inwardly, “Is he telling the truth, Master Pagoda?”

Little Pagoda answered, “Yes!”

Ye Guan calmly asked, “Master Pagoda, didn’t you say that Plain-Skirt Sister is a Great Sword Immortal? I’m already a Half-step Sword Sovereign. Does that mean I’ve become stronger than Plain-Skirt Sister?”

Little Pagoda fell silent.

Ye Guan boisterously laughed. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Master Pagoda? I’ve become stronger than her, right?”

Little Pagoda sighed lightly and replied, “Actually, I was lying to you.”

Ye Guan nodded. “I guessed as much. Can you tell me the truth now?”

Little Pagoda answered, “Actually, your plain-skirt sister isn’t a Great Sword Immortal. She’s… she’s a Great Sword Sovereign!”

Ye Guan frowned and doubted him. “Are you still lying to me, Master Pagoda?”

Little Pagoda retorted, “Why would I lie to you at this point?”

Ye Guan went silent.

Little Pagoda continued. “Actually, you shouldn’t think about it for now. Focus on yourself and cultivate even harder, do you understand?”

Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”

Ye Guan decided not to probe any further.

After all, his plain-skirt sister’s cultivation base was less important than his own strength. He had to become stronger in his own right, and he had always believed that one’s own strength was more important than anything else.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng said, “Brother Ye, the An Clan is scheming against you. They know that you’re going to compete in the upcoming Destiny Contest. I reckon that they’re planning on killing you during the contest. If you were to die during the contest, they would be able to avoid the criticism of the people.”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, but I don’t have any other choice. I have to compete.”

Ye Guan had another important reason to join the Destiny Contest.

If he got first place, the Undying Clan would definitely allow him to borrow the Qingxuan Sword. The influence and prestige that the Champion of the Destiny Contest carried were enough to attract the Undying Clan’s attention.

In addition, it wasn’t like he would run away with the sword. He would only borrow it.

Still, Ye Guan had to show that he was worthy of the Undying Clan’s attention.

Qin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that Ye Guan was finally going to die.

Of course, Ye Guan could also become the Champion of the Destiny Contest, but could he really do such a thing? His competitors are monstrous talents in their own right with better and more robust family backgrounds.

Qin Feng honestly believed that it was possible, but it would be extremely difficult.

“Brother Qin, do you have any detailed information about my competitors?”

Qin Feng went silent.

Ye Guan chuckled awkwardly. “If you’re going to be in trouble by telling me, you don’t have to tell me…”

Qin Feng shook his head and explained, “It’s not an issue. You’ll know them once the contest starts anyway. It should be fine for me to tell you earlier.”

Ye Guan cupped his fists together. “Thank you!”

Qin Feng explained, “There are five monstrous talents that you have to keep an eye on among the many participants of the Destiny Contest.

”The first monstrous talent is Fan Qing of the Five Dimensions Universe. His Dao Protector is Mu Tiandao, who was arguably the fourth strongest cultivator thirty million years ago.

“He’s the Department Chief of the Main Guanxuan Academy’s Heavenly Dao Department.”

“Master Pagoda,” Ye Guan asked inwardly, “How strong is Mu Tiandao?”

Little Pagoda replied, “He’s extremely powerful.”

Ye Guan nodded slightly and urged Qin Feng to continue speaking with his gaze.

Qin Feng continued. “The second monstrous talent is Yao Mang from the demon race. He’s famous for his born Ancient Desolate Physique and his pair of holy eyes. I’m not too sure, but his Dao Protector is probably Department Chief Erya.

”Deparment Chief Erya is the Department Head of the Demon Department. Anyway, he’s an exceptional talent in his own right. I’ve also heard rumors that Department Chief Erya personally went to the Demon Realm to become his Dao Protector.”

“Master Pagoda,” asked Ye Guan, “How strong is Department Chief Erya?”

Little Pagoda replied, “She’s very strong.”

Ye Guan nodded, but he didn’t say anything in response.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng continued. “The third monstrous talent is definitely your enemy. She’s An Daoxin, and everyone has high expectations of her. They think that she’s going to become the third martial goddess of the An Clan. She’s also on the gifted list of the Main Guanxuan Academy.”

Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Gifted list? Is she on the same gifted list as Liu Bing?”

Qin Feng replied, “Yes, Liu Bing is on the Divine Martial List as well along with An Daoxin. However, she’s ranked ninth, while Liu Bing is currently ranked thirty.”

“Master Pagoda, how strong are the martial goddesses of the An Clan?”

“They’re very strong,” said Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan fell silent.

Qin Feng continued, “The fourth monstrous talent is Dongli Mo of the Undying Clan. He’s widely acclaimed to be the strongest talent of the Undying Clan after the Sword Master’s era. His Undying Bloodline is extremely pure, so it’s impossible to kill him unless his death is instantaneous. He’s nigh immortal, and…”

Qin Feng paused before continuing. “I heard that he awakened the Mad Demon Bloodline of the Undying Bloodline. The Mad Demon Bloodline is the Sword Master’s bloodline. Needless to say, it’s a supreme bloodline. His Dao Protector is also an elite cultivator from thirty million years ago.”

“Master Pagoda,” asked Ye Guan, “How strong is the Mad Demon Bloodline?”

Little Pagoda belatedly answered, “It’s an extremely strong bloodline.”

Ye Guan wordlessly nodded.

“The last monstrous talent that you have to keep an eye on is even more monstrous than the talents I’ve mentioned so far,” said Qin Feng. “He’s from Milky Way, and he’s the Chosen One of this generation!”

“The Chosen One?” asked Ye Guan.

Qin Feng nodded. “I’m sure you know the Sword Master. The Sword Master was the Chosen One of his generation.”

“How do people know that someone is the Chosen One of a generation?”

Qin Feng stared deeply at Ye Guan and explained, “Great Daoist Brush Master announces the Chosen One’s identity for the world to hear.

”A Chosen One is an individual born with the Great Dao Destiny, and they are invincible among their peers.

”The martial goddesses of the An Clan are strong, right? However, they’re still weaker than the Chosen Ones of their generation.”

Qin Feng paused for a while before continuing. “His true name is unknown, but everyone knows that he’s the Chosen One of this generation.

”His Dao Protector is Great Daoist Brush Master, who is widely acclaimed to be the master of this universe’s destiny. The Chosen One is like the main character of a story—unrivaled among his peers!”

“Master Pagoda,” asked Ye Guan, “How strong is Great Daoist Brush Master?”

Little Pagoda’s voice sounded grim as he replied, ‘“He’s extremely powerful!”

Ye Guan nodded slightly before asking, “Master Pagoda, my Dao Protector is Plain-Skirt Sister, right?”

Little Pagoda confirmed. “Indeed.”

Ye Guan was about to ask Little Pagoda a question, but Qin Feng spoke, “Do you have a Dao Protector, Brother Ye?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”

Qin Feng’s curiosity was piqued. “Are they strong?”

Ye Guan asked inwardly, “Master Pagoda, how is Plain-Skirt Sister compared to the elites I mentioned earlier?”

“There’s no practical way to compare her to them,” replied Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan’s head drooped. He was silent for quite a while before he hopelessly muttered, “If I die in the upcoming Destiny Contest, please bury me together with Little Jia, Master Pagoda. Thank you in advance.”

Little Pagoda was shocked speechless.
