I Have A Sword

Chapter 647: I Cant Afford It

Chapter 647: I Can't Afford It

The Sword Intent dissipated.

Ye Guan was shocked. He did not expect the lady's power to dissipate his Invincible Sword Intent. He had fought against god-level cultivators before, but none of them could destroy it. Meanwhile, the lady before him had just effortlessly made it vanish.

The lady quickly retracted her hand, looking at Ye Guan apologetically.

Suppressing his astonishment, Ye Guan curiously asked, "What kind of power do you have?"

She shook her head slightly. "I don't know."

Ye Guan frowned. The lady turned to the vast sea in the distance, her gaze gradually becoming distant.

With no memories at all, her life felt meaningless.

"Don't overthink it. Your memories must have been sealed by some special power. When the time comes, I'll take you to meet the person who once protected you. They should know your origins. Once we figure that out, restoring your memories shouldn't be difficult."

The lady nodded slightly. "Hmm."

Ye Guan glanced at her and then turned and left.

The lady looked down at the mysterious mark on her arm, emitting a faint, golden light...

...

Since he had to wait for Ao Qianqian to break through, Ye Guan decided not to leave the Little Pagoda. He couldn't afford to be careless when facing those gods. After all, they were all powerful Divine Dao Realm cultivators, and he didn't know the extent of their divinity yet. Therefore, he couldn't afford to be careless or underestimate them.

Ye Guan found a flat plain and sat down cross-legged. He then slowly closed his eyes and focused, immersing himself in training.

The recent battles had made him feel that he was close to a breakthrough. Others would have had as much trouble breaking through after reaching the Imperial Realm as reaching the sky, but he was different. Since he had eight Ancestral Veins, he had no issues with resources.

Moreover, he had always practiced whenever circumstances allowed it, and his focus was still on the way of the sword. Nevertheless, the power that the woman had just shown him reminded him that his Invincible Sword Intent was not truly invincible yet. There was still power that could break it, so he couldn't afford to be complacent when facing enemies.

Ye Guan released his Invincible Sword Intent, which surged like a torrent into the sky. Following his will, the Invincible Sword Intent transformed into thousands of Sword Intents, swirling and circling above his head in a magnificent display.

Right after, he made them condense into a single sword. With a point of his finger, the sword pierced into him, and when he pointed outward, thousands of swords surged out from the space in front of him.

Space Overlap!

Boom!

In an instant, the whole world within the Little Pagoda trembled violently, seemingly experiencing an earthquake. However, because Plain Skirt Destiny had blessed this space, he could not destroy it with his current power.

At that moment, he heard a voice from behind him.

"Young friend, your sword technique is truly impressive."

Ye Guan turned, finding Shen Ye walking toward him.

Ye Guan smiled faintly. "It is nothing to be proud of."

With a serious expression, Shen Ye said, "Even those of the Divine Dao Realm will not dare to underestimate the power of your sword. If it were combined with that divine sword..."

He looked even more serious. Having used Ye Guan's Qingxuan Sword before, he knew how overpowered it was.

Ye Guan smiled once more. Truth be told, he was also curious. How powerful could he be if he used the Qingxuan Sword to unleash techniques like the Heavenrend Quickdraw and Space Overlap?

"Next time you fight, you can call me," Lin Daimei said.

When Ye Guan looked at her, she continued, "I can help you in battle now."

"Indeed, we should fight soon!" Ye Guan murmured.

Lin Daimei had done nothing but practice alone in the Little Pagoda. Hence, she had gotten little to no actual combat experience. This would not do. Without real battles, swordsmen would be nothing but showpieces. If this kept up, the moment she encountered a true enemy, she would suffer greatly.

Ye Guan's words made Lin Daimei excited. Despite having practiced for so long, she had only sparred with Guo Dan and the others so far, which proved meaningless to her. After all, except for Guo Dan, who could withstand a bit of beating, the other children were too weak to be her match.

At that moment, Erya walked over with Little White. She was still wearing her white T-shirt, ripped jeans, and a pair of white sneakers, looking somewhat rebellious.

Erya licked her candied haw and glanced at Lin Daimei. "Your new disciple?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Something like that."

"Your disciples are our grandchildren."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Lin Daimei's eyes lit up when she saw Little White. She ran to Erya and asked, "Can I hug her?"

Little White blinked, then stretched out her little paw in refusal.

Unfortunately, Little White's reaction only made Lin Daimei like her even more. She turned to Ye Guan. "Master, can you buy me one like this?"

Ye Guan quickly shook his head. "I can't afford it."

He was certainly wealthy, but even he couldn't afford a Spirit Progenitor.

Erya glanced at Lin Daimei. "Do you want to play with us?"

Lin Daimei nodded eagerly.

Erya looked at Ye Guan. "Let her!"

However, Ye Guan shook his head once more. "She has to go to the academy to study."

In all honesty, he knew that Lin Daimei wasn't a good person. If she followed Erya and Little White, she would definitely turn into a female bandit in the future.

Erya looked at Lin Daimei with pity. For her, nothing could be as boring as studying, and only those with no prospects would voluntarily do it.

Turning to Ye Guan, she asked, "When are we going to rob someone?"

Noticing Ye Guan's shocked expression, she quickly corrected herself. "I mean, when are we going to fight?"

Ye Guan was about to speak when he sensed a powerful aura emanating from afar.

The three turned toward it, finding the space at the end of the sky trembling violently/ Powerful auras continuously spread from that area as well.

The scene made Ye Guan smile in delight.

Ao Qianqian had broken through!

She had reached the Ancestral Realm!
