What was the meaning of this?

He quickly calmed down, but his expression was ugly. The Sword Master had borrowed money from him, but the little bastard just now had straight up robbed him!

The current generation has truly gotten better compared to the previous one!

Of course, he wasn\'t in the right state of mind to even care about his stolen storage ring. Right now, his priority was to try and escape.

A ray of sword light was still pinning him down. He couldn\'t move, and he wouldn\'t dare to do so, even if he could move. The sword light belonged to that woman, so if he dared to move recklessly, she might snuff out his soul with a snap of her fingers.

She had decided to protect two generations of the Yang Family! The Yu Spirit sighed to himself. He reminisced about the time the Sword Master had threatened him, and he thought about what had just happened to him. He smiled bitterly.

The Yang Family was truly despicable. First, they lied to him, and now, they had just robbed him! To make matters worse, the Yu Spirit had no idea where to go to seek justice for himself.

After a long, long time, he looked up and said, “Your Excellency, I\'m good friends with your brother…”

…

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was running as fast as he could with Nangong Xue. He was excited and nervous at the same time. How could he not when the storage ring he had just stolen contained three billion spiritual cores?

To be exact, it was almost three billion spiritual cores! It was a massive sum, and he truly didn\'t expect that the man just now would turn out to be such a rich individual. In addition to spiritual cores, there were more than a hundred bottles of precious elixirs, the lowest grade among them were Divine-grade elixirs.

There were also more than ten divine treasures. Of course, they couldn\'t be compared to unranked divine treasures such as the Sword Master\'s Dao Imprint and the Time Mirror, but they were still extremely valuable.

What a rich man! Ye Guan couldn\'t help but sigh. There was indeed a huge gap between the rich and the poor in this world. The rich were super rich, and the poor were super poor.

Meanwhile, Nangong Xue was allowing Ye Guan to lead her away by the hand. She cast a curious gaze upon Ye Guan. She was truly convinced that he was a rogue cultivator, but Ye Guan clearly wasn\'t a rogue cultivator. In fact, his origins had to be extraordinary.

The mysteries around Ye Guan made Nangong Xue feel like uncovering them.

Ye Guan soon arrived before a great hall. He looked up and saw a plaque that said—Shangqing Sect. The great hall looked old, and the effects of the ruthless passage of time on the great hall could be seen even from the outside.

Ye Guan and Nangong Xue started walking toward the great hall, but Nangong Xue suddenly said, “Young Lord Ye…”

Ye Guan looked at her with a confused look. She lowered her head slightly, and her ears turned red as she muttered, “Can you let go of my hand now?”

Startled, Ye Guan quickly let go of her hand. He had been in a hurry to escape, so he had inadvertently grabbed her hand. He was thrilled to have discovered the Shangqing Sect\'s great hall, and he got so excited that he had forgotten the fact that he was still holding Nangong Xue\'s hand.

He felt embarrassed, and he hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

Nangong Xue laughed and said, “It’s fine. Anyway, shall we head inside and take a look?”

Ye Guan sighed in relief and said, “Sure.”

The two walked into the great hall, and they were immediately struck by a musty smell along with a cloud of dust. Ye Guan waved his sleeve lightly, and the dust in the great hall was swept away.

He looked around and found that the great hall was desolate and empty. The great hall didn\'t have anything at all aside from the statue of an old man. The old man was wearing a Daoist robe, and he had a head full of white hair with a stern expression. A horsetail whisk was in his hand, and his gaze was fixed on something.

Ye Guan approached the statue and bowed deeply. One had to be respectful toward elders in secret realms. Miracles could happen so long as one showed respect and a great example of this unfolded before Ye Guan.

The statue before them trembled slightly, and an old man walked out of it.

Nangong Xue approached Ye Guan with a cautious look.

Ye Guan was wary as well. Respect was one thing, but he still had to be cautious.

The old man\'s gaze landed on Ye Guan. He frowned and said, “You…”

"You\'ve been obfuscated from Heaven\'s Will. Your fate has become unpredictable and unreadable," said the old man with narrowed eyes.

Ye Guan was silent. The perpetrator was probably his father or his aunt.

The old man\'s eyes gleamed sharply as he said, “Your origins are not ordinary.”

“Senior, are you perhaps the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect?”

“Indeed.”

“To be honest, we\'ve come here for an opportunity from you. If you feel that we\'re not too bad, why don’t you give us some good—why don\'t you give us an opportunity?”

The old man was slightly taken aback. He soon laughed heartily and said, “You\'re so straightforward that I don\'t even know what to say.”

Nangong Xue looked at Ye Guan and smiled dryly. Young Lord Ye is so amusing.

Ye Guan chuckled. He felt that it was better to be honest and straightforward rather than beat around the bush. He was here to ask for something, and he thought that beating around the bush would just be a waste of time.

The old man examined Ye Guan from top to bottom before saying, “You’re so young, but you\'ve already established your own Sword Dao, and it is quite resolute as well, which is rare. My Shangqing Sect’s inheritance won\'t be of much use to you.”

Ye Guan felt like he was about to have a headache, but he had no plans of giving up just like that, so he said, “Senior, I encountered a puppet before I entered this place. That puppet was really strong. Was it refined by the Shangqing Sect?”

The old man smiled and said, “You must be talking about the Ancient Divine Puppet. It was indeed created by the Shangqing Sect. Why? Are you interested in the methods to refine one?”

Ye Guan hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes!”

However, the old man shook his head and explained, “I can indeed give you the refinement method, but you won\'t be able to refine an Ancient Divine Puppet of that grade.”

“Why?”

“Do you know how much money is needed to refine such an Ancient Divine Puppet?”

Money? Ye Guan blinked and asked, “Are they expensive?”

The old man nodded and answered, “Yes. The puppet you\'ve encountered is at the peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm, but its actual prowess is closer to the Great Sovereign Realm, which makes it a Half-step Great Sovereign. A certain array is necessary to refine such a puppet, and it\'s an array that requires billions of spiritual cores. The necessary precious spiritual materials are expensive as well, and you might need to fork out at least three billion spiritual cores for them.

"In total, I estimate that five billion spiritual cores are required to refine an Ancient Divine Puppet of that grade.

Five billion spiritual cores? Ye Guan was shocked. He was rich, but he didn\'t think it was a good idea to spend that much money to refine something.

Nangong Xue was shocked as well. Their Nangong Clan was a great clan in the Chaotic Star World, but five billion spiritual cores was an amount that their clan still couldn\'t readily muster.

The old man added, “If you want to refine a Great Sovereign Realm puppet, you would have to spend at least ten billion spiritual cores. Even during our glory days, we only managed to refine two Great Sovereign, and we had to ask for every sect member\'s contribution.

“Of course, even though we paid a huge price for it, it was really strong. An Ancient Divine Puppet in the Great Sovereign Realm is at the same level as a Great Time Sovereign, but its true prowess far exceeds that of a Great Time Sovereign.”

Ye Guan asked, “Senior, can you teach me how to refine a Divine Puppet?”

The refinement method would be useless in someone else\'s hands, but it was a different story in Ye Guan\'s hands. Yes, it was expensive, but he was rich! Of course, he wasn\'t rich enough to refine such puppets in bulk, but he believed he could make a few of them at the very least.

His reasoning for insisting on learning the refinement method was that he had to be prepared for the upcoming full-blown war between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe. If he made ample preparations today, fewer people in the Guanxuan Universe\'s camp would die in the future.

Where was he going to find money? Well, his mother had plenty!

However, the old man was puzzled. "As I said, refining an Ancient Divine Puppet is going to be expensive. Are you sure you still want to learn it?"

"Yes, Senior!" Ye Guan nodded and said, “I would really appreciate it if you taught me how to refine an Ancient Divine Puppet.”

The old man pondered briefly before saying, “Well, I can teach you, but you have to promise me something.”

“Please tell me what it is,” Ye Guan replied. He knew that there was no free lunch in this world.

The old man stared at him and said sternly, “Well, it’s nothing too complicated. I just want you to find the Shangqing Sect a worthy successor. I only require two prerequisites from the successor candidates.

"First of all, they must be extremely talented. Of course, their character has to be great as well, and they must also be willing to revive the Shangqing Sect. Anyway, the second prerequisite is that they must be close to you—they must be extremely close to you!"

Ye Guan was baffled. “Why must they be close to me?”

The old man laughed, but he didn\'t say anything in response.

The second he laid his eyes on Ye Guan, he instantly discovered that he was a young man with extraordinary origins. Someone had obfuscated him from Heaven’s Will for him, and throughout history, he knew of only two people capable of such a thing—the Great Daoist Brush Master and the one who had created an entire civilization of their own.

However, the young man had not even a trace of destiny aura on him, so he couldn\'t possibly be the Chosen One. The second individual was the one who had created the Eternal Civilization, the Eternal Sovereign. He was known as the First Sovereign, and he was also the most powerful Great Sovereign who had ever existed.

However, those two had nothing to do with the young man, which scared him since it meant that there was another extremely powerful existence even stronger than the Eternal Sovereign and the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Most importantly, they had a special relationship with the young man.

His plans were simple. The Shangqing Sect\'s revival would only succeed if it had a powerful enough backer. The young swordsman was the perfect backer he could ever ask for.

There were two reasons he didn\'t tell Ye Guan to become the successor of the Shangqing Sect—Ye Guan\'s beliefs and faiths had already been established, which was evidenced by his Sword Dao. In other words, the Shangqing Sect’s inheritance wouldn\'t be that useful to him.

Secondly, he was afraid that the Shangqing Sect’s inheritance wouldn\'t be able to keep up with Ye Guan. If Ye Guan received the inheritance and ended up forgetting about it, it would be too much of a waste. Thus, the old man had no choice but to settle for less. He decided to make Ye Guan pick someone extremely close to him.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the old man and saw that the latter had no intention of explaining. He didn\'t bother to pry any further and merely answered, “Sure.”

The Shangqing Sect has to be a really powerful sect, anyway. Their inheritance wouldn\'t be that useful to Ye Guan, but it might be useful to Ye Qing and the others.

With that in mind, he decided to make Ye Qing revive the Shangqing Sect. Ye Guan thought about it and came to the conclusion that it wouldn\'t be bad to become a Sect Master for fun.

“Perfect!” said the old man with a smile. He opened his hand, and two storage rings flew toward Ye Guan. The old man explained, “One of them contains the refinement method of an Ancient Divine Puppet, while the other contains the Shangqing Sect’s inheritance as well as all of the resources needed to revive it…”

The old man\'s gaze was laced with worry as he stared at Ye Guan. This little bastard won\'t just take all these for himself, right?
