Chapter 220: Ask Your Grandfather for His Bones


    He wants to take my head?


    At the entrance to the Xuzhen Holy Hall, a cold glint shed past Ye Guan’s eyes. He was about to make a move when a ck light surged to the skies and appeared right before the spear-wielding young man.


    Ye Qing was here!


    He looked at the spear-wielding young man and chuckled. “I’ll fight you.”


    The spear-wielding young man replied, “You’re not Ye Guan.”


    “I’m his brother,” said Ye Qing. “You can fight him after killing me.”


    “Sure!” said the spear-wielding young man before disappearing.


    Boom!


    Spacetime ruptured, and a cold sh appeared right before Ye Qing.


    Ye Qing roared withughter. “Come at me!”


    He turned into a bolt of lightning that flew toward the spear-wielding young man.


    Crackle!


    The surrounding spacetime was torn apart as a fierce battle unfolded.


    In front of the Xuzhen Holy Hall, An Nanjing suddenly said to Ye Guan, “Let’s go!”


    Ye Guan was silent as he stood unmoving.


    An Nanjing said, ”Your brother is strong, and you don’t have to worry about him.”


    Ye Guan nodded slightly.


    He looked at Nn Jia and said, “Little Jia, I’ll entrust this ce to you.”


    Nn Jia nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”


    With that, Ye Guan disappeared with An Nanjing.


    This wasn’t the time for romance.


    He wanted to spend some time with Nn Jia in the bridal room, but it would have to wait. Of course, Ye Guan was nning on returning as soon as possible. He wanted to have a few little Guans and turn Little Pagoda into their babysitter!


    Nn Jia clenched her fists.


    Li Banzhi suddenly walked up to Nn Jia. She looked at her and bowed slightly before handing over a letter.


    It was a letter of resignation!


    Nn Jia looked down at it silently.


    Li Banzhi was smiling, but she was silent as well.


    Nn Jia suddenly bowed deeply toward Li Banzhi and said, “Aunt Zhi, did Little Guan and I do something wrong? Did we make you mad?”


    Li Banzhi shook her head andughed. “No, it’s nothing like that. I’m just… a bit tired.”


    Nn Jia grabbed Li Banzhi’s hand and said, “Aunt Zhi, I know that a facade in front of you is just inviting humiliation upon myself, so I’ll be direct. We really need your help at the moment.”


    The Guanxuan Universe was tinypared to the True Universe, but it still consisted of countless smaller worlds. The Guanxuan Universe was filled with billions of living beings!


    Li Banzhi definitely yed a huge role in the Guanxuan Universe’s steady growth over the past thirty million years. The Guanxuan Universe would undoubtedly suffer if she were to resign at such a critical time period.


    Furthermore, Nn Jia had just taken over the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the Guanxuan Academy, and she needed the support of talents like Li Banzhi.


    Li Banzhi quietly stared at Nn Jia.


    Nn Jia tightened her grip on Li Banzhi’s hand and said softly, “Aunt Zhi, I won’t stop you if you really want to resign, but you have to promise me something. Can you please officiate my wedding with Little Guan, and can you please not leave until then?”


    Li Banzhi shook her head and chuckled.


    “You cunningss,” she remarked.


    “I still have a lot to learn from you, Aunt Zhi,” said Nn Jia with a grin. “Let’s go and talk in the hall.”


    With that, the twodies walked into the Xuzhen Holy Hall.


    …


    Ye Guan and An Nanjing traversed space at breakneck speeds.


    Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Senior, have you ever been to the True Universe?”


    “Yes,” An Nanjing replied with a nod.


    Ye Guan didn’t ask any more questions. He didn’t want to think of too many things at the moment. He wanted to prioritize bing even stronger, so he had to think of how to do that before anything else.


    After all, he only had a year to be even stronger.


    An Nanjing suddenly asked, “You’re a Martial God?”


    Ye Guan nodded and replied, “Yes!”


    An Nanjing nodded slightly and said, “I can help you be even stronger as a Martial God.”


    Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.


    “That sounds great!” said Ye Guan with a smile. He was confident that he could be an elite swordsman and an elite Martial God at the same time.


    A white pir of light suddenly came into view. The two entered the white pir of light and found themselves in what looked like a wastnd.


    A mountain covered in corpses stood in the distance, and the white bones that covered the mountain seemed as dense as a forest. One could also hear miserable wails from the summit of the mountain.


    The entire mountain was crimson in color, and there was a sea of blood at the foot of the mountain.


    Ye Guan’s expression turned heavy at the grotesque sight.


    An Nanjing nced at the mountain peak and said softly, “An Unyielding Sovereign is buried on the summit of that mountain. He’s from the Unyielding Universe. He led his n members to fight the gods of a few universes, and he seeded. He was actually the first individual to have killed a god despite being a mortal.


    “Afterward, he fought the True Universe. All by himself, he killed hundreds of Divine Sovereigns and about ten Cosmic Spirits. Finally, the True God of the True Universe intervened. They fought each other ten times, and the Unyielding Sovereign lost to the True God every time.


    ”However, he refused to admit defeat. Astonishingly, he was enlightened during their eleventh battle. His bones turned into Unyielding Bones, and his will became an Evesting Will.”


    An Nanjing went quiet afterward.


    Ye Guan hurriedly asked, “What happened next?”


    An Nanjing calmly continued, “The True God killed him. His bones were divided into a hundred and eight pieces, and his will was suppressed for eternity. He was doomed to never reincarnate.”


    Ye Guan wiped away the beads of cold sweat that had formed on his forehead. I think I’m just going to let Father fight a True God…


    Ye Guan suddenly thought of something as he asked, “Master Pagoda, can you fight a True God[1]?”


    “Stop talking nonsense and just focus on cultivating!” Little Pagoda eximed. Fuck, this bastard is evil!


    An Nanjing flicked Ye Guan’s forehead and said, “Listen to me; don’t get distracted.”


    Ye Guan chuckled sheepishly and replied, “All right…”


    An Nanjing continued. “The Unyielding Sovereign’s Unyielding Bones were divided into a hundred and eight pieces, and they are priceless treasures. Owning one means that bing a Divine Sovereign will no longer be a dream. One can also use it to be enlightened and achieve divinity.”


    Ye Guan frowned slightly in confusion, and he asked, “Be enlightened and achieve divinity? Does that mean bing a True God?”


    An Nanjing shook her head and said, “It means bing a Void God, which is the realm above Divine Sovereign. Great Daoist Brush Master was the one who created the system that allowed cultivators to be Void Gods.


    ”A cultivator has to condense their own divine spirits to be a Void God, and Void Gods are second only to Cosmic Spirits like the Yin Spirit we encountered not too long ago.”


    Ye Guan asked, “Are Cosmic Spirits strong?”


    An Nanjing stared deeply at Ye Guan.


    Ye Guan hesitated briefly before saying, “The Yin Spirit you mentioned couldn’t take even a single blow from my father!”


    An Nanjing remained silent.


    Ye Guan chuckled sheepishly and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”


    “No.” An Nanjing shook her head and said, “The next time you see that Yin Spirit again, you should fight her yourself.”


    Ye Guan was speechless.


    “You should just go,” said An Nanjing.


    Ye Guan turned his attention to the mountain peak and said, “If I make it all the way up there, will I be able to get an Unyielding Bone?”


    “Apparently, yes,” An Nanjing replied, “However, I’m not sure of the specifics.”


    Ye Guan’s expression darkened.


    An Nanjing said, “Hurry up and go.”


    “Alright.” Ye Guan nodded. He then turned and started toward Mount Unyielding.


    “Wait!” An Nanjing cried out.


    Ye Guan turned around and stared at An Nanjing.


    “No cheating,” said An Nanjing.


    Cheating? Ye Guan frowned and asked, “How can I even cheat?”


    An Nanjing said, “Just don’t use that sword.”


    Ye Guan froze and went silent. Eventually, he took out the Path Sword.


    “Are you talking about this sword?” he asked.


    An Nanjing nodded.


    Ye Guan pondered briefly before asking, “Senior, is my sword stronger than the Unyielding Sovereign?”


    An Nanjing stared at Ye Guan and said solemnly, “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to beat you up!”


    Ye Guan’s expression stiffened, and he immediately turned around to leave. He felt like An Nanjing wasn’t joking. She would really beat him up if he were to dy any longer.


    Little Pagoda chuckled. It seemed An Nanjing was the only one capable of dealing with the little bastard. Ye Guan was humble, but he was a cunning little bastard who would always ask Little Pagoda about Destiny’s strength whenever possible.


    Ye Guan hadn’t called for backup so far, but it was highly likely that he would get addicted to doing so if he were to call for reinforcements now.


    Little Pagoda couldn’t let that happen. Ye Guan had to go through more hardships!


    Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, the Unyielding Sovereign is powerful, but he failed to defeat a True God. Meanwhile, Father could fight a True God one-on-one. Does that mean that he’s stronger than the Unyielding Sovereign?”


    Little Pagoda asked, “What are you trying to say here?”


    Ye Guan sounded solemn as he asked, “Can you give me a few of my father’s bones? I just need two; that’s it!”


    Little Pagoda’s voice was trembling as he cursed, “Fuck, don’t you dare say that to anyone else… the thought of asking him for his bones alone is just terrifying…”


    Ye Guan was speechless.


    Meanwhile, Little Pagoda’s back was drenched in cold sweat. What’s wrong with this little bastard?! Howe he’s more terrifying than his father? His father never had such terrifying thoughts!


    However, Little Pagoda seemed to have recalled something as he said, “Actually, your grandfather is extremely powerful as well.”


    Ye Guan frowned and asked, “My grandfather?”


    “Yes,” Little Pagoda said, “You should ask him for his bones; I’m sure he’s going to give you a bone or two.”


    “Are you trying to dig a hole for him?” asked the mysterious voice.


    Little Pagoda replied, “This little bastard deserves it.”


    The mysterious voice said, “I suggest you stop with your foolish schemes. He’s a better schemer than you, so you’re definitely going to lose in the long run.”


    Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.


    Ye Guan silently pondered over Master Pagoda’s thoughts.


    Soon, Ye Guan found himself standing in front of the sea of blood.


    The rust in the air assaulted his nostrils.


    However, he felt excited for some reason, making Ye Guan feel slightly afraid of himself. He knew that he had the Mad Demon Bloodline, which Ye Guan considered to be an aberrant bloodline that made him feel excited during ughters.


    The Mad Demon Bloodline was terrifying, and Ye Guan couldn’t help but think whether his grandfather was really a good person or not.


    Of course, he had no ns of expressing his thoughts.


    His grandfather’s people were extremely powerful, after all.


    Retracting his thoughts, Ye Guan took a closer look at the sea of blood in front of him. His figure shed, and lightning erupted beneath his feet. Momentster, he appeared at the foot of the mountain.


    A pile of skeletons stood in front of him.


    Ye Guan looked up and saw a few blurry figures walking toward the summit. Ye Guan had no ns of using Sword Travel to reach the summit. He reckoned that there had to be a reason why people were going up the summit on foot.


    Ye Guan found a small trail and started his ascend.


    His senses were on high alert. An Unyielding Bones was definitely going to be difficult to obtain, so he had to remain cautious at all times.


    Ye Guan surreptitiously observed the people near the summit. He realized that they were approaching the summit with extreme caution. They would even asionally stare at the summit for quite a while.


    Why? Ye Guan frowned. The summit had to be dangerous. He swept his gaze across the mountain and found that there were about a hundred people climbing the mountain, and they all looked really young.


    Ye Guan walked for a while before eventually picking up the pace.


    However, a roar abruptly reverberated from the summit. The roar was filled with endless misery, pain, and scorn. At the same time, a terrifying will burst out of the summit in a powerful shockwave.


    The expressions of those on the mountain instantly changed. They hurriedly retrieved their powerful spiritual artifacts to resist the oing shockwave.


    It was a wave of Evesting Will! Ye Guan’s expression changed drastically at the sight. He wanted to take the tiny pagoda out, but Little Pagoda interrupted him and said, “Do you want me to take the impact for you?”


    Ye Guan nodded like a chicken pecking rice.


    “Fat chance!” eximed Little Pagoda before going quiet.


    Ye Guan had no idea what to say.


    1. There seem to be multiple True Gods. I think True God is just a cultivation realm. ?
