I Have A Sword
Chapter 666: I Really Wanted to Save You

After leaving the Dao Market, Ye Guan found himself in a vast expanse of starry sky. He gazed at the endless stars in the distance with some curiosity. "Senior Mu Yuan, how strong are the Yin Yang Twin Beasts?"

He hadn't attempted to subdue the Yin Yang Twin Beasts yet because he felt his own strength wasn't sufficient. Now, however, he felt that he was almost there. Hence, he had grown quite curious about them.

"They have both reached the Divine Dao Realm. It's been a long time since I encountered them, so I don't know how much divinity they possess now," Mu Yuan answered.

"Have you and the two god-generals also reached the Divine Dao Realm?"

Mu Yuan smiled. "Yes, thanks to your assistance."

Ever since they started following Ye Guan, the three had been practicing in the tiny pagoda. In the Little Pagoda, ten years of cultivation was equivalent to just one day outside, and they had unlimited access to Ancestral Veins and Origin strands. Thanks to those factors, they had been making rapid progress.

Mu Yuan truly felt immensely fortunate to have chosen to follow Ye Guan. Reaching the Divine Dao Realm would have been extremely difficult without his help.

Ye Guan smiled back. The fact that Mu Yuan and the two god-generals had improved their strength was naturally a good thing for him, as they were his capable lieutenants.

As if remembering something, Mu Yuan suddenly said, "The Divine Painting has also reached the Divine Dao Realm."

Ye Guan was momentarily stunned. He opened his hand, and the Divine Painting appeared on his palm. He had almost forgotten about it.

Ever since he had acquired the Qingxuan Sword, he hadn't been very interested in other divine artifacts. The Divine Painting was now trembling slightly with excitement.

In fact, it had been just one step away from the Divine Dao Realm back then. Unfortunately, that one step had proven to be incredibly difficult. Moreover, at the time, its status in the Divine Temple was not very high. Consequently, it had hardly any resources at its disposal since most of its resources were controlled by the Divine Seal. This was the main reason for its slow progress.

However, ever since it started following Ye Guan, it found its new master to be incredibly generous. Not only did he allow it to cultivate in the Little Pagoda, but he also provided it with free access to Ancestral Veins and Origin strands. Most importantly, he didn't make it do any work! This made it feel somewhat embarrassed.

It was becoming increasingly apparent to the Divine Painting that the Divine Seal was simply a big fool. If the Divine Seal were willing to stay here, given its talent and uniqueness, it would have surely reached new heights by now.

Feeling the excitement of the Divine Painting, Ye Guan smiled. "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Master," the Divine Painting eagerly replied.

Ye Guan smiled. He then took out the black ancient book that the First God had left behind. The Divine Painting had mentioned before that it was the First God's notes, but Ye Guan felt it was not that simple. Unfortunately, he had killed Dao Ran too quickly back then and hadn't asked what it was.

"Young Master Ye, are you wondering what that thing actually is?" Mu Yuan asked.

Ye Guan nodded.

"Whatever's written in there may reveal how to achieve a hundred percent divinity."

Ye Guan frowned. Only the First God had reached the legendary hundred percent divinity so far.

Mu Yuan continued, "Young Master Ye, the God Clan may be able to decipher the words written in there..."

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He initially wanted to visit this God Clan, but they said he was not qualified. Hence, he couldn't take this thing to the God Clan to inquire.

Instead of thinking too much about it, Ye Guan put away the black ancient book. He had no interest in how to achieve a hundred percent divinity anyway since he was not walking the path of divinity.

However, he was somewhat worried. His deviation from divinity made him wonder what path he should take after reaching the Divine Dao Realm. That had been his long-standing problem.

Ye Guan shook his head, temporarily putting aside these thoughts. He had to focus on the present.

"Senior Mu Yuan, how much longer?" he asked as he looked up at the distant starry sky.

"We are almost there," Mu Yuan replied.

Ye Guan nodded slightly. Picking up the pace, he turned into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

Not long after, he reached a completely silent area. He glanced around and noticed that the starlight here was dim, making it seem like a pool of still water. It was anything but ordinary.

Ye Guan spread his divine sense like a net. Soon, he frowned. A thousand meters away, his divine sense was blocked by an invisible force.

He looked toward the distance but found nothing.

"Young Master Ye, the legendary Yin Yang World is just up ahead now," Mu Yuan said.

"Is that where the Yin Yang Twin Beasts are?" Ye Guan asked.

"Yes."

"Do you think they will acknowledge me?"

Mu Yuan smiled bitterly. "I don't know, but if they are willing to help you, it will be a great assistance to you."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. He certainly needed extra hands now. One couldn't rely on their family for everything!

Of course, relying on his family did feel pretty good too.

Ye Guan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He now truly understood his old man back in the day. Born into such a family, it was hard not to become a king of reliance!

Soon, he entered the Yin Yang World, immediately sensing two extremely powerful auras. A phantom then appeared in front of him. It seemed to be shrouded in some kind of power, very blurry and indistinct.

The phantom just stared at Ye Guan.

Not long after, Mu Yuan appeared next to Ye Guan. He respectfully clasped his fists and said, "This is Young Master Ye, the inheritor of the First God."

"Do you have the Divine Seal?" the phantom asked.

Mu Yuan's expression turned somewhat ugly. After all, the Divine Seal had already been taken away. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "We have the Divine Painting."

The phantom frowned. "What is the Divine Painting?"

The Divine Painting was dumbfounded.

Mu Yuan felt embarrassed. Unsure of what to do, he turned to Ye Guan.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guan took out the black ancient book.

In response, the phantom slowly balled its hands into fists. Ye Guan just watched in silence.

After a while, the phantom finally opened its palms again. "Let me see."

However, Ye Guan shook his head. At such a close distance, the other party would definitely be able to see clearly.

The phantom stared at Ye Guan, the atmosphere suddenly growing tense.

Feeling as though something was amiss, Mu Yuan turned somewhat gloomy. Why did the Yin Yang Twin Beasts seem to want to rob him?

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yuan reiterated, "Twin Beast, this young man truly is the inheritor of the First God. Let's not ruin the harmony."

Considering how strong Ye Guan was, he could easily handle the beast, especially if he had that terrifying divine sword in his hand. Moreover, Ye Guan also had the girl Erya within him. If Mu Yuan's calculation was right, Erya could definitely handle the Beast in front of them as if it were nothing.

"Ruin the harmony?" the beast sneered. "Are you joking, Mu Yuan? You randomly pick someone and claim they are the inheritor, then expect us to follow him? Are you sure your brain isn't malfunctioning?"

Mu Yuan's expression darkened.

Ye Guan shook his head slightly, then turned to Mu Yuan. "Let's go."

Mu Yuan nodded. "Yes."

At that moment, he finally realized that those who once followed the First God, be they human or beast, only respected the First God. They didn't recognize Ye Guan at all. Despite knowing that Ye Guan was the true inheritor of the First God, they still wouldn't acknowledge him.

From their perspective, Ye Guan was not qualified to inherit the First God's legacy. After all, they themselves were the most qualified ones to inherit it since they were once his followers.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He was being too naive. However, he also felt somewhat resentful. Although Ye Guan was not as strong as the First God right now, the future achievements of this young man clearly would not be inferior to the First God. Of course, he wouldn't voice these thoughts because he knew that those so-called gods would definitely look down on them.

Mu Yuan turned and followed Ye Guan away.

Ye Guan didn't feel disappointed at all. Rather, he remained indifferent. He couldn't care less about the beasts in the Mountain Sea World or the Twin Beasts in front of him. If they were willing to follow him, then he'd gladly welcome them. If they weren't, it didn't matter.

I have to improve!

"Wait," the phantom suddenly said.

Ye Guan turned around. "What is it?"

"Leave that ancient scroll."

Mu Yuan's face immediately turned ugly. "Twin Beast, that was left to Ye Guan by the First God, you—"

The phantom coldly glanced at Mu Yuan. "Silence!"

Mu Yuan angrily retorted, "Have you gone mad? He is the chosen inheritor of the First God. Have you not considered the First God's wishes before you start taking his belongings?"

The phantom stared coldly at Mu Yuan. "If you don't pipe down, I'll eat you alive later!"

"Bastard!" Mu Yuan cursed angrily. "You brainless beast, do you think I'm insulting you? I'm trying to save you, you son of a—"

"How dare you!"

Furious, the phantom waved his sleeve. A terrifying aura with forty percent divinity swept toward Mu Yuan, causing the entire starry sky to boil.

In the instant the phantom attacked, Ye Guan suddenly waved his sleeve, and the Qingxuan Sword flew out.

Boom!

The phantom was instantly knocked back thousands of meters. As it stopped, a crack echoed.

The phantom looked up at Ye Guan in disbelief. "What? How can that sword break my vessel?"

Ye Guan glanced at the phantom indifferently. He then turned into a streak of sword light and disappeared.

Seeing Ye Guan take action, Mu Yuan shook his head and sighed. "I really wanted to save you!"
