I Have A Sword-Chapter 1400: Cold And Aloof

Hearing Mu Xuanxu's words, Ye Guan immediately grabbed his arm and said seriously, "Brother Mu, let's not talk about women. I'm not that kind of person."

Mu Xuanxu realized he had misspoken and was about to apologize when Ye Guan added, "I'm willing to join the Old Lands. Um, do you have the cold and aloof type?"

Mu Xuanxu was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha! Brother Ye, I see that we are kindred spirits!"

Ye Guan also laughed. After a moment, he turned serious and asked, "Brother Mu, can I really join the Old Lands?"

Mu Xuanxu's smile gradually faded, and he nodded slightly. "Of course, we are eager for talent. With your abilities, if you join us, you'll definitely be valued and nurtured."

Ye Guan didn't respond immediately. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. His eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of tea is this?"

Mu Xuanxu glanced at the cup and smiled. "This is what we call Spiritual Dao Tea, and it's brewed from the leaves of the Spirit Void Tree endemic to the Old Lands.

It contains Supreme Emperor Origin Essences, fire-attribute spiritual energy, and several other types of spiritual energy. Drinking it can enhance one's cultivation. Of course, for people at our level, the increase is negligible."

Ye Guan chuckled and shook his head. "If something like this were to appear in my world, it would spark a bloody war."

Saying that, he took another sip.

Mu Xuanxu asked, "Brother Ye, have you made up your mind?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Guan smiled. "Alright."

Mu Xuanxu laughed heartily. "Welcome! On behalf of the Old Lands, I welcome you."

Ye Guan looked at him and smiled. "From now on, I'll be counting on your guidance, Brother Mu."

"We're on the same side now, we should support each other!"

"Brother Mu, I'd like to ask you about someone."

"Who?"

Ye Guan opened his palm and gently swept it across the table. Immediately, an image of the red-robed lady appeared on the tabletop.

Mu Xuanxu stared at the image and frowned before saying, "I've never seen her before."

Ye Guan replied, "She should have quite a high status in the Old Lands."

Mu Xuanxu still shook his head. "I really haven't seen her before."

Ye Guan's expression darkened. This lady was either not from the Old Lands, or her status in the Old Lands was so high that ordinary people had no chance of meeting her.

Clearly, it was the latter.

Jingzhao! Right now, his biggest concern was Diyi Jingzhao. If she were with that lady, her safety was definitely not an issue, but that lady was bound to stir up trouble.

He shook his head slightly, setting aside his thoughts. His top priority now was to improve his strength. Otherwise, even if he somehow found that lady, he wouldn't be able to do anything about her.

Besides that, he also needed to find Supreme Emperor Essence Origin Veins.

The rate at which Little Pagoda consumed spiritual energy was terrifying.

For places like the Ten Desolate Universe, Forbidden Wildlands, and Other Shore Civilization, they had never seen Supreme Emperor Origin Essences, but now, the tiny pagoda was filled with them.

It was like a man who had been single for thirty years suddenly got a girlfriend. How could he not go crazy with excitement?

Of course, Ye Guan benefited from it as well. He noticed a significant increase in his faith power. In fact, he no longer even needed to cultivate. Billions of living beings were cultivating for him.

The stronger they became, the stronger his faith power grew, but he remained extremely cautious. This kind of power could easily become an addiction, and his instincts told him that if he became dependent on it, he would go astray.

Ye Guan looked at Mu Xuanxu and asked, "Brother Mu, is there a place in the Old Lands that is suitable for cultivation?"

Mu Xuanxu didn't even need to think before answering, "The Holy Martial Tower."

Ye Guan was intrigued. "What kind of place is that?"

Mu Xuanxu explained, "It's a special cultivation ground created by the three civilizations. It has nine levels, each representing a different level of combat strength. The higher you go, the stronger the opponents will become.

"The winner becomes the gatekeeper, and if they can hold their position for over a month, they'll receive immortal source crystals as a reward. Those crystals can be used for cultivation or exchanged for money, making it a popular place for cultivation fanatics."

Ye Guan's interest was immediately piqued. "Can I go there, too?"

"Of course," Mu Xuanxu answered.

"I'd like to give it a try."

"Brother Ye, are you short on money?"

"Extremely."

Mu Xuanxu opened his palm, and a storage ring flew toward Ye Guan. "There's a Pure-grade Supreme Emperor Origin Essence Vein in there."

Ye Guan was stunned.

Mu Xuanxu added, "Take it and use it. You can pay me back when you're wealthy."

Ye Guan quickly said, "Brother Mu, I can't accept this. I—"

"There's no need to feel awkward. Now that you've joined the Old Lands, you're one of us... Oh, and the Holy Martial Tower is in the southern part of the city. You can go there any time. I need to take care of some matters, but I'll find you later."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

Mu Xuanxu stood up and disappeared.

Ye Guan looked at the storage ring on the table.

Little Pagoda suddenly said, "That guy was really nice."

Ye Guan chuckled. "True."

He put away the storage ring and left the tavern, heading straight for the Holy Martial Tower.

After walking for a while, he asked, "Master Pagoda, do we still have any Cloud Recorders?"

Little Pagoda replied, "We do. Why? Do you want to record your fights?"

Ye Guan simply smiled without answering. Moments later, he disappeared into the distance.

Before long, he arrived at the Holy Martial Tower.

The tower was nine stories tall and was luxuriously built. Since it was a joint venture by the three civilizations, anyone from those civilizations could freely enter to train. Outsiders weren't allowed, of course.

Ye Guan had yet to obtain the Old Lands' identification document, which meant that he was still considered an outsider. If he wanted to train here, he had to pay ten thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals.

He initially thought he was wealthy, even in the Old Lands. However, it turned out that he was still broke.

Still, he paid the ten thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals.

If he could hold his ground for a month on the third level, he would make a profit of fifty thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals, and if he could hold out on the ninth level, he would earn two hundred thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals and ten thousand immortal source crystals.

Immortal source crystals were far more valuable than pure-grade emperor crystals. One immortal source crystal could be exchanged for around twenty Pure-grade emperor crystals.

If he could hold out for two months, his earnings would increase by thirty percent. The bonus would stack indefinitely as well!

Ye Guan couldn't help but smile. This was a gold mine.

After paying the fee, he headed straight to the first level. The moment he entered, he found himself in a vast, empty world. It was an endless expanse of nothingness with an incredibly stable spacetime.

Before long, a man appeared in front of him. He was a Supreme Emperor!

The man stared at Ye Guan and smirked. "An outsider?" freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

The man's smirk widened. "An outsider dares to challenge this place?"

Ye Guan's gaze flickered to the storage ring on the man's hand, and then he fell silent. When he entered, he forgot to check the rules. He wasn't sure if he could rob people here.

Let's give it a try! Ye Guan looked at the man. "Can we start?"

The man chuckled. "Any time."

"Shall we just stop at first contact?" asked Ye Guan.

"Hahaha!" The man burst into laughter. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Come on."

Before he could even finish speaking, a sword was already pressed against his forehead, and his laughter was cut off instantly. He was defeated in a flash!

The man stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Ye Guan, however, frowned in dissatisfaction. "The way you were acting, I thought you were stronger. You scared me into using twenty percent of my power..."

He took the man's storage ring and tossed it into his tiny pagoda.

The man was at a complete loss for words.

Ye Guan stared at him and said, "Only thirty thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals? Damn, you're broke broke."

The man's face darkened immediately. Damn it! This is too much!

If it hadn't been for the sword pressing against his forehead, he would have already cursed. However, Ye Guan didn't bother with him anymore and moved on to the next level.

"Fuck!" the man cursed in frustration, feeling utterly humiliated. After calming down, a wave of fear washed over him. In this place, killing was allowed, which meant that Ye Guan had actually spared his life.

The man let out a deep sigh and tried to think of the lost storage ring as paying a price to avoid death.

***

On the second floor, Ye Guan waited for a moment before a man appeared in front of him.

The man glanced at him, and the next instant, his body turned illusory. Shadows filled the space, and in a flash, countless afterimages filled the sky. Everything around Ye Guan was sliced into countless fragments.

Ye Guan slashed out with his sword.

Schwing!

With a single slash, the afterimages shattered instantly.

The man appeared before Ye Guan, and his right hand was frozen mid-attack. A sword was pressed against his forehead, and he looked slightly pale.

Ye Guan calmly removed the man's storage ring, and then he left.

"Master Pagoda, am I underestimating my own strength?"

Little Pagoda replied, "Seems like it."

"Should I go have some fun?"

"Don't go courting death."

"True. Better focus on growing stronger first. I need to make more money..."

Then, he stepped onto the third floor. The moment he entered, a man in white robes appeared before him. The man stared at him and casually asked, "Are you a swordsman?"

Ye Guan nodded, but his gaze had already locked onto the storage ring on the man's finger.

The white-robed man chuckled. "You want my storage ring?"

Ye Guan looked at him silently.

The white-robed man smiled. "Then come and take it."

Schwing!

Before his words could stop echoing in the air, Ye Guan's sword was already pressed to his forehead. The smile on his face froze.

Ye Guan took off the white-robed man's storage ring. Then, he walked to the side and murmured, "Why are the Supreme Emperors in the Old Lands so weak? I barely used twenty percent of my strength."

Less than fifteen minutes later, Ye Guan reached the eighth floor, managing to get past the other floors with relative ease.

His sword was a Supreme Emperor, and he was a Supreme Emperor himself as well. Moreover, he had already merged with his Dao, which meant his true combat power was among the absolute top-tier in the Old Lands.

On top of that, he wielded the Qingxuan Sword, so no one was a match for him. Right now, his only concern was that his opponents could gang up on him.

Upon reaching the eighth floor, he didn't have to wait long. Spacetime trembled, writhing like ripples on water. Immediately afterward, a man in full-body mecha armor stepped out.

He was a powerhouse from the Eternal Civilization!

The man locked eyes with Ye Guan and threw a punch!

Boom!

A mechanical armored fist as large as a mountain made a beeline for Ye Guan!

Ye Guan thrust his sword forward.

Bam! Schwing!

The armored fist cracked open, but Ye Guan was also forced back nearly a hundred meters away. He stared at the man's mecha armor, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

At the same time, the man eyed Ye Guan's sword in disbelief.

A moment later, both their gazes turned hungry with greed. One wanted the mecha armor, while the other wanted the Qingxuan Sword!

Just then, the man in the mecha armor shot into the air, arms outstretched. His suit began to shift and writhe, transforming into thousands of pitch-black cannons, each with a barrel several meters wide.

The cannons hovered around him, and there were over ten thousand of them!

The man glared at Ye Guan, and his face was flushed red with excitement as he roared, "Fire!"
