Chapter 218: Into The Bridal Room!
Everyone was looking at Ye Guan. They all knew that before long, the top talents from True Universe would arrive at Guanxuan Universe to look for Ye Guan. Ye Guan needed time to become even stronger. They were willing to help Ye Guan buy some time.
Ye Guan looked at everyone without saying anything, but he was moved.
An Nanjing said, “Let’s go to the All Spirit Region.”
Ye Guan looked at An Nanjing. “The All Spirit Region?”
An Nanjing nodded and explained, “The Cosmic Spirits of many major universes decided to create a special world for the sake of dealing with the True God of the True Universe. What they created is what we call the All Spirit Region.
“It is a world filled with special cultivation grounds such as Mount Unyielding. You can reach the Mortal Sword Realm, refine the Unyielding Bones, and forge the Everlasting Will there. Of course, you can also cultivate your Mad Demon Bloodline there.”
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. “Mortal Sword Realm? Unyielding Bones? Everlasting Will?”
An Nanjing nodded slightly, “The Mortal Sword Realm is what lies beyond the Great Sword Sovereign Realm.”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “How do I compare to the young talents of the True Universe?”
An Nanjing stared at Ye Guan and said, “Below average.”
Ye Guan’s eyes squinted. “Below average?”
Everyone was shocked. Ye Guan was unparalleled among the young talents of the Guanxuan Universe. However, Ye Guan was actually considered below average when compared to the young talents of the True Universe?
“Remember Ruler An?” asked An Nanjing.
Ye Guan nodded.
An Nanjing calmly said, “She’s only twenty years old this year.”
Ye Guan’s fists clenched. Twenty years old? And the title Ruler was conferred on her despite her young age?
Ye Guan was beyond flabbergasted.
He truly didn’t expect that Ruler An was only twenty years old.
“And she’s not the most talented individual in the True Universe.” An Nanjing continued and said, “The True God once had numerous universes under her belt, and she didn’t monopolize the resources from those universes but gave them to her people. It’s the reason the True Universe is significantly stronger than any other universe.”
An Nanjing paused for a moment before saying, “Moreover, your mother is the only denizen of the Guanxuan Universe with a spiritual core. However, cultivators in the True Universe cultivate using spiritual cores.” Ye Guan’s expression went solemn along with everyone else. They knew that there was a difference in power between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe, but they were surprised to learn that the gap was actually so big.
They had never really paid attention to the True Universe because they knew that the Sword Master was there for them. However, the Sword Master was no more, so they had to learn more about the True Universe.
Unfortunately, the truth that they heard from An Nanjing was something they truly couldn’t quite grasp.
An Nanjing stopped talking. She hesitated briefly, but she eventually remained silent.
Ye Guan looked at An Nanjing.
He was about to speak when the mysterious voice in the tiny pagoda said, “I’ll tell you. The True Universe is several times more powerful than what Martial Goddess An made it out to be. The denizens of the True Universe look upon talent highly. The way they groom their talents is nothing like you can imagine.
”As long as you are talented enough and are willing to work hard, you will not need to worry about anything related to cultivation resources. Basically, you don’t have to spend money to cultivate there.”
The mysterious voice paused before continuing, “Your family background doesn’t matter, nor does your financial standing. I remember this particular Divine Sovereign in the True Universe. He didn’t have a monstrous talent, but he worked extremely hard.
”He relied on the free cultivation manuals and spiritual cores to cultivate. Eventually, he managed to cross the Ancient Path and became a Divine Sovereign. There are many people like him in the True Universe.”
Ye Guan asked somberly, “Free? Cultivation manuals are free?”
The mysterious voice responded, “Yes. You’ll also get a monthly stipend of spiritual cores once you reach a certain level.”
Ye Guan was silent.
The mysterious voice spoke softly, “The True Universe has become a terrifying behemoth. The prowess of their young talents is to be reckoned with.
“A universe’s overall strength cannot be measured by just looking at its top cultivators alone; one must look at its young talents as well.
“As far as I can remember, only two powers throughout the universes can compare to the True Universe. One of them is one of the strongest clans throughout the universes, the Heaven Seizing Clan.”
Ye Guan was curious, “The Heaven Seizing Clan?”
The mysterious voice replied, “Yes. An ancient clan that has existed for over a billion years. They have a scary, special bloodline called the Heaven Seizing Bloodline. Your mother’s special bloodline and your Mad Demon Bloodline can contend against the Heaven Seizing Bloodline.”
Ye Guan was confused, and he asked, “Senior, I have another bloodline in me?”
The mysterious voice replied, “Yes.” Ye Guan asked, “What is it?”
The mysterious voice answered, “You will know in the future.”
Ye Guan was silent.
The mysterious voice continued, “Anyway, those with the Divine Dao Bloodline running through their veins were formidable as well, and there was a rumor about how the Divine Dao Bloodline is closer to the creator of the universes.
“It is also apparently older than the Dao itself. Great Daoist Brush Master has the Divine Dao Bloodline, but the holders of the Divine Dao Bloodline were ruthlessly suppressed by the True God of the True Universe. The elites of the Divine Dao Bloodline vanished without a trace since then.”
Little Pagoda’s curiosity was piqued. “Did Great Daoist Brush Master fight anyone else aside from Sister Destiny?”
The mysterious voice calmly asked, “Are you sure you want to know the answer to that Little Pagoda?”
“...” Little Pagoda.
The mysterious voice continued, “You’re unparalleled among the younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe, but your opponent is the entire True Universe, and it is the strongest power throughout the universes. You cannot afford to underestimate the True Universe.”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”
Unparalleled among the younger generation? Ye Guan shook his head. I’m just average—no, even below average in the True Universe. I want to become the strongest young talent in the universes.
Ye Guan turned to An Nanjing and said, “Senior, I’ll go to the All Spirit Region with you.”
He decided to cultivate as ravenously as possible!
An Nanjing nodded. “All right.”
Ye Guan asked, “When are we leaving?”
An Nanjing responded, “Tomorrow.”
“Okay,” said Ye Guan with a nod.
“I suggest you deal with your personal affairs before we leave,” said An Nanjing before turning around to leave.
Lady Tianxiu glanced at Ye Guan before leaving as well.
Ye Guan took a deep breath before turning to look at Nalan Jia. Nalan Jia smiled silently. Ye Guan approached her and grabbed her hand before walking toward the Xuzhen Holy Hall.
Everyone looked at the two of them, especially the people from the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Qin Guan didn’t say anything, but they all knew that Nalan Jia was now their Pavilion Master.
The Nalan Clan members were overjoyed.
The Nalan Clan had just become a top clan in the Guanxuan Universe.
In addition to being the Queen of the Guanxuan Academy, Nalan Jia was also the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. In other words, the Nalan Clan would inevitably rise in power.
Nalan Ming frowned upon witnessing the delight of his clan members, but he raised his guard at the same time. Disasters were often preceded by strong emotions. Nalan Ming knew that he had to make sure that his clan members wouldn’t grow arrogant because of their new identities.
Ye Xiao also raised his guard. The Ye Clan was starting to overflow with pride. This was absolutely normal, as they had always viewed Ye Guan as their fellow clan member. Ye Guan had just become the King of the Guanxuan Academy, so the Ye Clan would inevitably rise up the ranks.
Ye Xiao and Nalan Ming exchanged worried looks.
They could already feel a headache coming just at the thought of trying to make sure that their clan members wouldn’t become too arrogant.
After Ye Guan and Nalan Jia’s departure, the cultivators of the Guanxuan Universe slowly dispersed to return to their homes.
Li Banzhi looked up without saying anything. Perhaps he would never come back.
Li Banzhi was silent for a long while before she shook her head with a smile. She then turned around and left. The Guanxuan Universe’s new king was here, so it was time for her to retire.
In the distance, Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan and Nalan Jia as they left.
She stared at them for a while before turning around to leave.
Ao Qianqian’s expression was complicated as she stared at them.
Was she going to give up? Ao Qianqian felt indignant to give up just like that.
Meanwhile, Nanling Yiyi smiled quietly at the pair before leaving.
She didn’t want to think too much about it. Otherwise, her heart would hurt a lot.
Fei Banqing smiled while staring at Nalan Jia and Ye Guan. The two were finally reunited. Fei Banqing gazed at them for quite a while before turning around to leave.
…
Ye Guan quietly held Nalan Jia’s hand as they walked away.
Nalan Jia remarked, “This feels like a dream.”
Ye Guan smiled and nodded. He sighed. Everything that happened recently also felt like a dream to him. The Sword Master turned out to be his father, while the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion turned out to be his mother.
He didn’t even dare to think about being close to them, yet they were actually his parents.
Nalan Jia suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan stopped and looked at her.
“What is it?” he asked.
Nalan Jia grinned as she lightly stroked his face.
“You’ve suffered, haven’t you?”
Ye Guan held her hand stroking his cheek and smiled, “It’s fine!”
Nalan Jia took out the cloth sachet that Qin Guan gave to her.
“I think the Immortal Treasures Pavilion should belong to you—”
Ye Guan interrupted her. “Are there going to be any difference?”
Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan. She didn’t say anything, but she felt warm.
Ye Guan pulled Nalan Jia with him, and the pair continued walking away.
“Mother is really smart. There must be a reason she gave you the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.” Nalan Jia thought about it before nodding. “I agree.”
Ye Guan suddenly said, “According to our betrothal, we should have been married long ago.”
Nalan Jia paused as she turned to look at the man in front of her.
“Married?” she asked with a smile.
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, married.”
Nalan Jia blinked and asked, “What comes next after marriage?”
Ye Guan thought about it before saying, “If we go by tradition, it’s about time we spend a night in the bridal room.”
Nalan Jia’s face flushed. However, she revealed a cheeky smile and said, “Actually, we can sleep together before marriage.”
“I don’t think…” Ye Guan trailed off out of hesitation before continuing. “I don’t think that’s appropriate, but… I think that works, too!”
Nalan Jia’s blush intensified, and she pinched Ye Guan’s palm.
“How come you’re thinking about something in times like these?”
A fiery passion burned in Ye Guan’s heart at the sight of the adorable yet flirtatious Nalan Jia.
“Should we… give it a try? I’m ready to go anytime.”
“I hope you haven’t forgotten the two of us here…” said Little Pagoda.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
