Chapter 244: Please Head Back Immediately
After a long while, Ye Guan looked away. He shook his head and smiled. It was only after he left the Guanxuan Universe that he realized his insignificance. He truly had to work even harder for him to amount to anything!
His father was powerful, but his father’s strength didn't belong to Ye Guan but to his father.
The same was true for his aunt and grandfather.
Ye Guan could only call himself powerful once he actually became powerful in his own right.
He was the weakest member of his family, and he couldn’t quite accept it.
He had to work even harder to become even stronger.
Ba Wan suddenly tugged on his sleeve and muttered, “The village…”
Ye Guan hurriedly looked at the hovering tiny pagoda.
“Master Pagoda,” he said.
The tiny pagoda trembled, and a golden ray shot out of him.
Moments later, the village appeared.
Ba Wan rushed to the village. Ye Guan followed her, and he soon heard Ba Wan’s sorrowful cry.
Ye Guan was stunned, and he saw Ba Wan sobbing on an old cow.
The old cow’s dead?
Ye Guan saw a bloody patch on the cow’s head. Ye Guan was silent.
The old cow was unlucky enough to get hit by debris before they could get to the village.
Ba Wan’s cries were heartbreaking as she sobbed on the old cow.
Ye Guan hesitated at the sight.
In the end, he walked up next to her and said, “Don’t be too sad.”
Ba Wan wiped her tears away and asked, “Does beef taste better when boiled or grilled?”
Ye Guan’s eyes widened in shock.
The old cow: “...”
Ye Guan was convinced that Ba Wan truly loved the old cow, so he was caught off guard when it turned out that Ba Wan had been wanting to eat the old cow all this while.
Ye Guan proceeded to butcher the old cow, and Ba Wan kept on crying as she chewed on the old cow’s meat. “My cow… it was already so old, but it died in such a painful way—Mmhmm. It tastes great.”
Ye Guan picked up another slice of beef and nodded. “Brother cow, have a safe journey to the afterlife.”
The old cow: “...”
Soon, the two finished their meal, and Ba Wan buried the old cow’s bones.
Ye Guan looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go with me?”
Ba Wan turned to look at Ye Guan. She seemed to be in a daze as she asked, “Go?”
Ye Guan nodded and explained, “I mean, the outside world.”
Ba Wan hesitated before saying, “I’ve never left this place.”
Ye Guan smiled and asked, “Are you not curious about the outside world?”
“What will happen to my meals?” asked Ba Wan.
“You can eat all you can outside!” Ye Guan proudly declared.
Ba Wan hurriedly slung her large bowl on her shoulder.
“Let’s go!” she said.
Ye Guan chuckled and exclaimed, “All right, let’s go!”
With that, Ye Guan led Ba Wan, and the two eventually made it out of the small world where the village was located.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Ba Wan, where are your parents?”
Ba Wan chewed on a piece of dragon meat as she asked, “I don’t have any parents.”
Ye Guan frowned. “You don’t have any parents?”
Ba Wan nodded. “I grew up in the village, and none of them knew the identity of my parents. All they know is that I suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village one day, and every household in the village worked hard to feed me.
”However, they suddenly didn’t want to feed me anymore.”
Ye Guan stared deeply at Ba Wan and was convinced that her background was extraordinary.
Ba Wan suddenly said, “You weren’t the first cultivator to have arrived at the village. There were others before you, and they coveted that fist art.”
Ye Guan looked at Ba Wan and asked, “Why did you not bring them to that cave?”
Ba Wan remained calm as she replied, “Aren’t outsiders supposed to treat their hosts to a meal if they want to receive any help? How can I help them when they didn’t offer me anything to eat?”
Ye Guan had nothing to say to that.
“Why did you save my village?” asked Ba Wan.
Ye Guan smiled and said, “It’s because we’re friends….”
Friends. Ba Wan stared deeply at Ye Guan for quite a while before asking, “How much dragon meat do you have? Is there enough for me to eat?”
Ye Guan laughed and said, “Yep. You’ll definitely have enough dragon meat to eat!”
Ba Wan sounded serious as she admitted, “I drove several families into bankruptcy through eating.”
“Don’t worry.” Ye Guan chuckled and said, “You can’t bankrupt me through meals alone.”
Ba Wan was confused. “Why not?”
Ye Guan smiled and explained, “My mother has a lot of money.”
Ba Wan blinked and replied, “Okay. From now on, your mother is my mother.”
Ye Guan almost fell to the ground, and his smile faded as he was rendered speechless.
Ye Guan soon brought Ba Wan to the All World City. Ba Wan looked around curiously. It was her first time seeing so many people, and everything was interesting to her.
Ye Guan bought her a lot of things, and Ba Wan was all smiles throughout their shopping trip. Soon, Ye Guan brought Ba Wan to a clothing store. He looked around and found a dark blue dress. “I want this.”
The lady boss looked at Ye Guan. She could tell from Ye Guan’s demeanor that he was someone of noble blood. Realizing that a valuable guest had arrived, she quickly took the dark blue dress and presented it to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan handed the dark blue skirt over to Ba Wan and smiled. “Wear this.”
Ba Wan’s plain clothes were beyond saving after their brief battle against a Great Sovereign.
Ba Wan looked at the dress in surprise and asked, “Is this for me?”
Ye Guan smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
Ba Wan hesitated before saying softly, “I don’t have any money.”
A village elder had told her that money was necessary to get anything outside.
“I have money,” said Ye Guan, “Don’t worry; just hurry up and change.”
Ba Wan hesitated, but she eventually nodded and said, “Okay.”
With that, she took the dress with her into one of the changing rooms.
Meanwhile, the lady boss hesitated before saying, “Young Lord, that was what we call the Flowing Fairy Skirt, and a powerful defensive array was embroidered on it to defend the wearer from attacks. It does come at a steep price.”
Ye Guan asked, “How much?”
The lady said somberly, “Three hundred thousand immortal spiritual crystals.”
Three hundred thousand! Ye Guan was a bit shocked, but he still opened his palm. A storage ring floated over to the lady boss, and the storage ring contained exactly three hundred thousand immortal spiritual crystals.
“Go help her change,” said Ye Guan to the lady boss.
The lady boss nodded frantically with a smile. “Yes, yes, yes! Leave it to me!”
The lady boss then stored the storage ring away and ran over to the changing room.
Moments later, Ba Wan walked out of the changing room.
Ye Guan’s eyes lit up because Ba Wan seemed to have undergone a complete change.
Her looks alone weren’t particularly stunning or eye-catching at first impression, but she was easy on the eyes. Her clear, big eyes also made everyone feel as though they were staring into a pristine lake.
Ba Wan looked more demure upon changing into a dress.
Ye Guan walked up to Ba Wan and smiled before asking, “What’s wrong?”
Ba Wan blinked and asked, “Can we eat now?”
Ye Guan was startled, but he grinned and said, “Sure!”
He proceeded to buy a few more dresses for Ba Wan before bringing her out of the store. The two approached a noodle shop. Ye Guan believed that Ba Wan had to eat a variety of dishes rather than just meat every day, and he also felt obligated to make her taste dishes that she had never tried before.
Ba Wan annihilated eight bowls of rice in the blink of an eye, and not even a single drop of soup remained in her bowls, stunning everyone.
Rumble!
The spacetime rift abruptly appeared overhead, and a golden ray of light shot out of the rift, surprising the entire city. The golden ray of light meant that the newcomer was most likely a Divine Spirit from the True Universe.
Ye Guan looked up and saw a young man in white looking down at the city.
“I’m here to fight!” he shouted. His voice echoed throughout the entire All World City.
Ye Guan placed a storage ring on the counter and said, “Boss, please keep cooking noodles for this lady. Keep doing it until she’s full.”
With that, Ye Guan stood up.
Ba Wan grabbed his arm and looked at him.
“Are you going to fight?” she asked.
Ye Guan nodded and smiled. “Yes.”
Ba Wan stared deeply at Ye Guan before saying, “Let me help you.”
Ye Guan grinned. “Just leave it to me!”
Ye Guan’s motive for bringing Ba Wan out of that tiny world wasn’t to turn her into his fighter. He truly wanted to show her the outside world. Perhaps she would have a brighter future here.
Ye Guan turned around and hopped onto his sword.
Ba Wan continued to annihilate bowls of noodles while staring intently at the young man in white in annoyance.
Ye Guan appeared in front of the young man in white.
The young man in white stared at Ye Guan and said, “The True Universe has declared that it’s going to fight using its younger generation against the members of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation.
”Don’t worry, we won’t bully you, and we won’t gang up on you as well.”
Ye Guan nodded and asked, “Are we going to fight now?”
“Sure,” said the young man in white. He stepped out, and an overwhelming energy enveloped Ye Guan. It turned out that the young man in white was an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.
The young man in white’s domain was both massive and powerful. He was just in his twenties, but he could already control such a powerful domain. In other words, he had to be a prodigy even in the True Universe.
However, he shouldn’t have come here. The True God Hall had already announced Ye Guan’s true prowess, and everyone in the True Universe was definitely aware that only the top twenty on the True Martial List were qualified to fight Ye Guan.
The young man in white wasn’t in the top twenty, but he was on the list!
Of course, the young man in white was aware of Ye Guan’s true prowess, but the bounty was simply too alluring for him to ignore. A billion spiritual cores meant a million true core crystals! It was an offer that the young man in white couldn’t quite resist.
Naturally, the young man in white man had another motive in mind.
He wanted clout.
Killing Ye Guan meant he wiping away the humiliation that the True Universe had suffered under the hands of the Sword Master many years ago. It had been millions of years since then, but the True Universe and its denizens were still resentful.
The main reason the True Universe had been fighting the Guanxuan Universe over the past thirty million years was in an effort to annihilate the Guanxuan Universe and wash away the humiliation that it had suffered on that fateful day.
Unfortunately, the Sword Master was so strong that only the True God could fight him.
However, what about his son? The young man in white grinned at the thought.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan abruptly vanished.
Boom!
He unleashed thirty swords at once, and they were all empowered by his Invincible Sword Intent.
The thirty swords combined forces and shattered the young man in white’s domain.
The young man in white’s eyes narrowed, and he was about to make another move, but he was sent flying under everyone’s pensive gazes. The young man in white’s fleshly body disintegrated as he streaked across the skies.
Shockingly, even his soul was starting to disintegrate into nothingness.
The young man in white perished in just one sword move from Ye Guan, rendering everyone speechless in disbelief.
However, the young man’s disintegrating soul was reformed under the effects of dimensional suppression. A Divine Spirit from a higher dimension couldn’t die in a low-dimensional world, and it was primarily because Divine Spirits would often descend on a low-dimensional world without their true bodies.
Ye Guan’s brows furrowed. He was aware of just how difficult it was to kill Divine Spirits, and Divine Spirits could only truly die at the Xuzhen Battlefield, and it was all thanks to the effects of the Sky-Connecting Pagoda.
The young man in white’s soul soon recovered.
He looked down at Ye Guan and sneered, “You can’t kill me.”
“Do you want me to try?” asked Ye Guan.
The young man guffawed and shouted, “Bring it on!”
Ye Guan nodded and vanished.
The young man in white was confident that he wouldn’t die, so he didn’t even defend himself. Divine Spirits could only die in the Xuzhen Battlefield or against supreme elites like a Great Sovereign or cultivators with peculiar innate abilities.
Ye Guan reappeared in front of the young man in white with another sword in hand—the Path Sword.
The young man in white’s heart was gripped by an intense sense of foreboding upon seeing the sword, but it was too late for him to dodge.
Shwik!
The Path Sword pierced the young man in white’s glabella.
Boom!
The young man in white’s soul quivered violently. His expression distorted in fury, and he stammered, “Y-y-you… you killed my true body!”
“That’s right,” Ye Guan said coldly, “Dumbass!”
“...”
The young man in white vanished and perished through and through.
Ye Guan looked down at his Path Sword with a grim look.
The Path Sword was seriously overpowered.
All of a sudden, Ye Guan seemed to have recalled something as he turned to look at Ba Wan. Thirty large empty bowls had piled up in front of Ba Wan, but it seemed that she still had room for some more noodles.
She’s still eating?! Ye Guan was astonished.
Ba Wan was still eating while staring at Ye Guan up above.
Ye Guan could only shake his head and smile.
Rumble!
A deep rumbling echoed as the spacetime in front of Ye Guan was torn open. An old man walked out of the rift in space and bowed deeply to Ye Guan before saying, “Young Master, something happened at the Xuzhen Battlefield. Please head back immediately!”
Ye Guan’s face immediately fell at the old man’s words.
