YM778.TV Chapter 236: Where Do You Live?
His voice was trembling as he muttered, “Young Master, this…”
“Do it!” said Ye Guan.
Gu Ming hesitated. He gnashed his teeth and said, “I understand.”
With that, Gu Ming left to carry out Ye Guan’s orders.
Meanwhile, the white-haired old man was shocked.
Did he just put a bounty on his own head? Is he really the Sword Master’s son? Why does it seem like he has a few screws loose?
A billion spiritual cores was an unimaginable amount to most cultivators. Not to mention the All Worlds, but there were only a few Divine Spirits with a bounty of a billion spiritual cores on their heads.
Was he in a hurry to die?
Ye Guan put the Path Sword away and turned toward the white-haired old man.
“Sir, I have no intention of offending the Governor’s Mansion, and I simply made the appropriate move against a threat.
”The Nan Clan sent people to kill me, so I think it was only right for me to retaliate. Of course, my target is only the Nan Clan. I won’t go and bury everyone else along with them.”
With that, Ye Guan turned around and left.
The white-haired old man hovered in silence.
Ye Guan’s expression was stone cold, and his eyes were cold.
Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “What happened to your temper?”
Little Pagoda had always known Ye Guan as a meticulous young man who rarely made drastic decisions, so he found Ye Guan’s sudden change in attitude to be quite extreme.
Ye Guan said, “I was wrong.”
“Wrong?” Little Pagoda asked.
Ye Guan explained, “I wanted to be kind, but not everyone wants to be kind.”
He looked up at the skies with narrowed eyes and added, “The entire True Universe has set its sights on me, right? I’m sure a hundred million spiritual cores aren’t enough for those who are truly powerful, but what about a billion?
“I really want them to come and kill me.”
Little Pagoda was silent.
Little Pagod had long grasped Ye Guan’s attitude, and he knew that Ye Guan was kind. He was also lenient most of the time, and he loved making friends, but deep inside, Ye Guan was still quite similar to his father and grandfather.
They all had a few screws loose!
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “He has another motive. He’s trying to lure his enemies to him so that his friends at the Xuzhen Battlefield can take a breather from all the fighting.”
Little Pagoda said, “I know! But he’s—”
“It’s the right move,” said the mysterious voice.
“What do you mean?” Little Pagoda asked.
The mysterious voice explained, “He has just gotten rid of the small fry, and I think the small fry are ninety-nine percent of his enemies. The bounty is so high that I’m sure the small fry are intimidated, so who do you think would come for him now?”
Little Pagoda was quiet.
The mysterious voice continued. “It’ll definitely be elite cultivators.”
Little Pagoda remained silent. Moments later, he jumped in surprise and exclaimed, “I got it! He’s trying to make an example out of elite cultivators to dissuade others from coming for him.”
...
The news about the bounty on Ye Guan’s head spread like wildfire throughout the All Worlds, and it was all thanks to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s help.
One billion! Everyone was shocked not just by the exorbitant bounty but because of the fact that Ye Guan himself had put such a bounty on himself. Was he crazy?
Furthermore, the bounty reward would also come from the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s coffers, so it was basically guaranteed. In other words, they would definitely receive the bounty in full if they somehow managed to kill Ye Guan.
Many people were thrilled and excited at the thought of having so much money.
A billion spiritual cores were enough to support many talents throughout multiple generations.
Upon reaching a certain realm, immortal spiritual crystals and golden spiritual crystals would no longer be useful. The primary currency of cultivators in that realm onward were spiritual cores, and spiritual cores were enough to nurture a supreme elite. Unfortunately, spiritual cores were a finite resource outside the True Universe.
In addition, most of the worlds that were a part of the All Worlds had long submitted to the True Universe. None of them dared to challenge the True Universe like what the Guanxuan Universe had done.
Spiritual cores were extremely rare, but the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had them. People were confident that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had at least a billion spiritual cores in their coffers.
The Immortal Treasures Pavilion was the richest organization outside the True Universe. The people of the All Worlds trusted the Immortal Treasures Pavilion more than the True Universe, as they didn’t have to submit to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
Ye Guan’s head was now worth a billion and a hundred million spiritual cores.
Many powers were moved upon hearing of such an amount.
However, most of them decided to sit back and watch in the meantime. Ye Guan was from the Guanxuan Universe, and he was also the son of the Sword Master. In other words, it wouldn’t be that difficult to deduce what the Sword Master would do to them if they somehow managed to kill his son.
What was money if they were dead?
Of course, many people decided to make a move. The bounty was too high for them to ignore, and they thought that the Sword Master didn’t have the luxury to worry about his son, as he was fighting the True God at the moment.
…
Meanwhile, Si Tongtian rushed to Ye Guan the moment the latter went to the Immortal Treasures Pavillion.
Si Tongtian flicked a storage ring toward Ye Guan and said, “Big Brother, it’s a big haul! There are at least ten million divine spiritual crystals in there!”
Divine crystals were the highest form of spiritual crystals, and they were second only to spiritual cores.
A divine spiritual crystal was worth a hundred immortal spiritual crystals.
Ye Guan accepted the storage ring.
He turned to Gu Ming and asked, “How do I challenge the All Worlds List?”
Ye Guan wanted to grow stronger. Most of the worlds within the All Worlds were probably afraid of him, but the True Universe was different. Ye Guan was sure that the denizens of the True Universe would go all-out just to kill him.
Time was tight, and he wanted to become stronger as fast as possible. His first goal was to become unparalleled among his peers, and he figured that the best way to go about that was taking first place in the All Worlds List.
“You just have to go to the Galactic Arena,” said Gu Ming.
Ye Guan frowned and asked, “The Galactic Arena?”
Gu Ming nodded. “Yes! It’s located at a patch of the starry skies above the All World City, but candidates will have to pass a test first before they can actually become challengers.”
“What test is that?” Ye Guan asked.
Gu Ming explained, “Candidates must cross the Galactic Bridge. A candidate will only become a challenger after crossing the Galactic Bridge. It’s a test that will filter out the true diamonds amidst the sand.
“It won’t be a good thing to let everyone challenge those on the All Worlds List. If that were allowed, those on the list would be too busy to do anything else.”
“That makes sense.” Ye Guan nodded and said, “All right, let’s go to the Galactic Bridge.”
“Follow me, Young Master,” said Gu Ming.
Ye Guan nodded and followed Gu Ming to the starry skies above the All World City along with Si Tongtian.
Ye Guan looked around upon arriving at the starry skies above All World City and found the faint silhouette of what looked like an arena in the distance.
Gu Ming’s voice deepened as he said, “Young Master, you’ll be able to challenge those on the All Worlds List once you’ve crossed this bridge.”
Ye Guan nodded and headed toward the bridge.
The moment he stepped on it, the spacetime in front of him was torn open.
A woman appeared at the end of the bridge.
She was none other than his plain-skirt sister!
Ye Guan was stunned.
A multitude of Great Daos were falling behind the woman. It was a scene similar to what Ye Guan had seen when he first saw her.
Ye Guan frowned deeply. What is going on?
“Oh, no!” the mysterious voice in the tiny pagoda cried out, “Someone’s trying to mess with his mind!”
Little Pagoda asked, “What do you mean?”
The mysterious voice explained, “He’s currently inside an illusion domain. Someone cast a divine spell to peer into his heart and find out what he fears the most. I-I really didn’t expect that he’s still afraid of the scenery he saw when he met her. Damn it!
“He must have memorized every detail of that incident, and that is exactly why this illusion domain is extremely detailed. Unfortunately, he’s smart, and he knows how to extrapolate, so I’m sure he’s starting to understand the full extent of her power.”
The mysterious voice still had something to say, but the plain-skirt sister ahead of Ye Guan turned to look at Ye Guan.
Silence descended between the two before it was shattered by Plain-Skirt Sister making a move and attacking Ye Guan with a sword thrust.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. An illusion? Someone’s trying to mess with my mind!
Ye Guan’s mind cleared up. Plain-Skirt Sister stared at him with a cold gaze as she drew closer. Right before her sword was about to hit Ye Guan, Ye Guan abruptly vanished into thin air.
The Path Sword was in his hand when he reappeared.
He could tell that the matter wasn’t as simple as he thought. Plain-Skirt Sister was stunned, and she chose to retreat. Her figure blurred as she reappeared three hundred meters away from Ye Guan.
She blinked at Ye Guan in disbelief.
“You’re not afraid of her?” she asked.
Ye Guan stared at her and said, “She’s my master, and why would I be afraid of my master?”
Plain-Skirt Sister cast a wary gaze on Ye Guan, but she didn’t make another move.
Her figure blurred, and she disappeared.
Ye Guan blinked, and he suddenly found himself on the Galactic Bridge.
Ye Guan looked around and frowned. He knew that people would come for him, but he didn’t expect them to come so quickly. After a while, Ye Guan started walking down the bridge.
Meanwhile, a lady was staring warily at Ye Guan somewhere in the starry skies above the All Worlds City. She was clad in a fiery red dress, but her eyes were cold as she examined Ye Guan while seemingly in deep thought.
“It is truly unexpected that your Sword Dao inheritance did not come from the Sword Master but from a woman wearing a plain skirt. This is interesting…” she muttered.
The lady turned around to leave, but the spacetime ahead of her was abruptly torn open. A powerful sword energy made a beeline for her and arrived just a few inches away from her throat in the blink of an eye.
The lady’s pupils constricted, and she inhaled sharply in shock.
A cold voice echoed, saying, “How bold of you to impersonate me.”
The lady’s heart jumped to her throat, and she asked, “Who are you?”
Rip!
A rift in space manifested in front of the lady, and she saw a woman wearing a blood-red skirt beyond the spacetime rift. It seemed like there was an ongoing battle beyond the spacetime rift, and it was a scene that could only be described as apocalyptic.
Amidst the destruction and chaos, the woman wearing a blood-red skirt stared indifferently at the lady.
The woman wearing a blood-red skirt had just opened a rift in spacetime in front of the lady, even though the two of them were millions of galaxies away!
Fear gripped the lady’s heart as she was subjected to the cold gaze of the woman wearing a blood-red skirt. The lady hurriedly apologized, “I’m an elder of the Thousand Illusions Sects in the Thousand Illusions Worlds, and I apologize for impersonating you.”
The Thousand Illusions World was ranked fourth in the All Worlds, and the Thousand Illusions Sect was the strongest organization in the Thousand Illusions World. It was also the only organization in the Thousand Illusions World that had quite a bit of influence beyond the Thousand Illusions World.
The lady had decided to announce her identity in hopes that the woman wearing a blood-red skirt would spare her life. After all, there couldn’t possibly be anyone out there daring enough to disrespect the Thousand Illusions Sect.
The gaze of the woman wearing a blood-red skirt became even colder. She waved her sleeve, and an indescribably powerful sword energy streaked across the starry skies.
A sword of epic proportions struck the Thousand Illusions World, and the collision produced an explosion so powerful that the Thousand Illusions World was reduced to ashes.
The Thousand Illusions World was no more.
