Chapter 293: She’s Pregnant With The Yang Family’s Descendants
An idiot! Left Councilor Feng burst out into laughter. The Adjudication Sword Master's temper was as bad as ever. She truly wouldn't bother about giving face to those she dislikes.
However, she wasn't wrong—Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was acting like an idiot right now.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao glared at the Adjudication Sword Master before saying, “You know that we stand a better chance if we work together, right?"
The Adjudication Sword Master’s face was full of disdain as she said, “Do you really think that you’re worthy of working with us? You bastard!”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s face soured, and his aura surged wildly, causing the spacetime around him to tremble violently.
The Adjudication Sword Master frowned and said, “You seem really proud that my big sister didn’t manage to kill you back then. I'm really wondering how you've become so shameless and arrogant when you barely survived.
"You kept on relying on the Gate of Reincarnation to reincarnate, and you've even devoured the bloodline of your own descendants for the sake of becoming even stronger. You're just a beast. Do you really think that the True Universe will hold hands with a savage beast? Stop dreaming while you're awake, and fuck off!"
“Impudent!” Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao yelled and sent a punch toward the Adjudication Sword Master.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao's powerful fist imprint obliterated the surrounding spacetime. However, the Adjudication Sword Master remained calm as she slashed out with her sword.
The fist imprint shattered, and an indescribably powerful sword energy swept through the air and toward Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao, sending him flying at least a few kilometers away.
When he finally stopped, he glanced sideways at his right arm only to see it covered in slash wounds. He was shocked. He didn't expect that the Adjudication Sword Master had become so strong.
The Adjudication Sword Master glared coldly at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao.
“Kill him!” she roared before transforming into a beam of sword light that rushed toward Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao. Meanwhile, Left Councilor Feng Qi and Martial Chancellor Wu Qi rushed to flank Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s expression changed drastically. He turned and decisively carved a spacetime rift into the spacetime boundary. His figure blurred, and he disappeared into the spacetime rift before the attacks could even land.
The Adjudication Sword Master snarled, “Bastard!”
Left Councilor Feng Qi said, “This is his tenth cycle of reincarnation. If he manages to overcome the restraints that come with being a Reincarnated Cultivator, his strength…”
The Adjudication Sword Master’s gaze turned even colder as she muttered, “That man has no bottom line. He’s a bastard through and through.”
With that, she turned around to leave.
Left Councilor Feng Qi and Martial Chancellor Wu Qi glanced at each other and smiled. The Adjudication Sword Master was as irritable as ever.
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi suddenly said, “I’m more worried about the Guanxuan Universe compared to the Heaven Seizing Universe.”
The Guanxuan Universe!
The smile on Left Councilor Feng Qi’s lips vanished upon hearing that, and she nodded lightly in agreement with Martial Chancellor Wu Qi's words. The Guanxuan Universe's threat level was higher compared to the Heaven Seizing Universe.
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi added, “Ye Guan is going to fight the Adjudication Sword Master in a year's time. Does he stand a chance of winning? What do you think?”
Left Councilor Feng Qi shook her head and replied, “No, he's going to lose.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Ye Guan is indeed a monstrous talent, but the Adjudication Sword Master’s talent is comparable to his talent. In addition, the Adjudication Sword Master is better than him when it comes to the Sword Dao, and she's also older than him.
"Considering those variables in mind, it's impossible for him to win after just a year of cultivating," Left Councilor Feng Qi explained.
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi nodded and said, “I agree.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi continued. “He'll also find it harder and harder to make breakthroughs as he becomes even stronger. His rate of improvement at the moment is stupendously fast, but it's all because his cultivation base is too low.
"I don't think he's going to become a Great Sovereign in just a year, and even if he somehow managed to become one, the Adjudication Sword Master's strength far exceeds Great Sovereigns.
“However, I don’t think Ye Guan is an idiot. He was daring enough to challenge the Adjudication Sword Master a year later, so I believe he has a trump card up his sleeves.”
Martial Chancellor Wu QI nodded and said, “Indeed. We must not be careless when it comes to Ye Guan. I’ve already sent people to keep a close eye on him.”
Left Councilor Feng Qi looked up at the starry skies.
“We're truly in the middle of troubling times…” she muttered. Then, she turned to look at Martial Chancellor Wu Qi and said, “I want you to recall a part of the Expedition Army.”
Martial Chancellor Wu Qi nodded and said, “All right.”
Moments later, the two left the Heaven Seizing Universe.
The first thing Ye Guan did upon returning to the Guanxuan Universe was handing Ao Qianqian over to Erya and Little White. Little White could help Ao Qianqian recover her fleshly body, while Erya could strengthen it.
This time, Erya and Little White were going to work in tandem to reconstruct Ao Qianqian’s fleshly body.
Afterward, Ye Guan visited the Guanxuan Universe's cultivation ground in the starry skies and sat down cross-legged in mid-air. He was still exuding a faint crimson light that made him look menacing.
Ye Guan frowned upon realizing that his Mad Demon Bloodline had become a bit restless upon devouring the Heaven Seizing Bloodline. It seemed like it wanted to do something by itself, and Ye Guan's face darkened at the realization.
My bloodline is in its rebellious phase!
His bloodline belonged to him, but it had its own thoughts and ideas. It seemed like it didn't care about Ye Guan at all. Ye Guan was convinced that his own bloodline had its temper and tendencies as if it were a sentient being.
"Don't overthink it," the mysterious lady said, “Focus on soothing your Mad Demon Bloodline.”
Ye Guan nodded and retracted his thoughts as he began to suppress his Mad Demon Bloodline slowly. However, the bloodline actually got even more energetic and was starting to resist him as he attempted to calm it down.
Ye Guan was frustrated to no end, and he eventually took out the Path Sword.
“Little Path, deal with it!”
Little Path obediently turned into a ray of sword light and entered Ye Guan.
The Mad Demon Bloodline instantly calmed down.
Ye Guan shook his head and laughed. It seemed Mad Demon Bloodline was afraid of the Path Sword. It made sense as the Path Sword was a sword of its word. It would really do what it wanted to do, so one couldn't mess around with it.
His Mad Demon Bloodline was as bold and as daring as the Path Sword, but it still wouldn't kill its master. It depended on Ye Guan, after all. It needed Ye Guan to become even stronger, and its strength depended on Ye Guan's madness.
Ye Guan took a deep breath and opened his palm.
The tiny pagoda appeared in his palm, and Ye Guan called out, “Lady Yu Suiyue!”
Yu Suiyue manifested in front of him with a smile.
“What can I do for you?” she asked.
Ye Guan replied in a serious tone, “I need you to find someone for me.”
Yu Suiyue frowned, asking, “Find someone?”
“Yes.” Ye Guan nodded. Inwardly, he asked, “Senior, how do I go about doing this?”
The mysterious lady replied, “You still have Ba Wan’s bowl, right?”
Ye Guan nodded and took it out.
The mysterious lady said, “Make her bring you to the Time River. You have to go there with her.”
Ye Guan looked at Yu Suiyue, and she merely nodded before waving her sleeve.
The scenery peeled away, and Ye Guan was shocked upon realizing that he had inexplicably entered the Time River in the blink of an eye.
The Time River depicted events that had already happened, and Ye Guan could see them flashing like lightning before him. Aside from what had already happened, Ye Guan could also see what was happening at the moment.
However, he failed to catch even a glimpse of the future.
Regardless, he was amazed. It turned out that the Time River was like a diary that had recovered everything that happened so far since time immemorial.
The mysterious lady suddenly said, “Do you still remember what I told you about how one has to undergo the baptism of time to become a Great Time Sovereign?
"I think Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao's motive for stealing the Time Mirror was to create more Great Time Sovereigns. It is simply too difficult for an Ordinary Great Sovereign to become a Great Time Sovereign without external help.
"The Time Mirror is the greatest external help out there if one wants to become a Great Time Sovereign, as the Time Mirror can grant anyone entry to the Path of Time.
"The Path of Time is the best place to cultivate if one wants to comprehend the profundities of time. In other words, becoming a Great Time Sovereign wouldn't be that difficult anymore with the help of the Time Mirror."
Ye Guan nodded slightly and asked, “What do we need to do to find Ba Wan?”
A ray of radiant light abruptly emerged from Ye Guan, and it soon converged to create the figure of a mysterious lady. The mysterious lady looked around until her eyes landed on a mote of light on the Time River.
Ye Guan saw countless fragmented scenes within the mote of light.
The fragmented scenes depicted the day when Ba Wan chose to self-destruct!
Ye Guan clenched his fists upon seeing Ba Wan in those scenes.
The mysterious lady opened her palms, and a mysterious energy floated toward the mote of light. The mote of light was enveloped by the mysterious energy, and multiple motes of light manifested next to the mote of light.
Ye Guan felt a little nervous at the sight.
The mysterious lady closed and opened her palms, and those motes of light converged. There were fragmented scenes in every mote of light; every scene looked blurry, even seemingly illusory.
More and more motes of light converged, and that was when something strange occurred. A mysterious strand of energy emerged and flew toward the converging motes of light.
The motes of light were shattered, and the entire Time River trembled violently.
Ye Guan was knocked backward, and blood trickled down the corner of his lips.
A mysterious force tugged at him, and when it disappeared, Ye Guan felt as if his head was made out of lead. He felt dizzy as well. Fortunately, the vertigo soon vanished, and he could finally look around properly.
He looked up and saw a pallid Yu Suiyue. Her eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. Clearly, the mysterious force had done something to her as well.
Ye Guan's eyes fell on the mysterious lady.
“Senior, what happened?” he asked.
The mysterious lady's reply came a bit late as she said, “Someone’s protecting her.”
Ye Guan frowned and asked again, “Someone’s protecting Ba Wan?”
Ye Guan froze and went silent. The True God was protecting Ba Wan!
The mysterious lady sighed and said, “It seems like Big Sister has been protecting Ba Wan behind the scenes every time she loses her memories and has to start over from scratch.”
Ye Guan could tell from how she sounded that her feelings were complicated.
"Does that mean we won't be able to find where Ba Wan is in her next life?" Ye Guan asked.
"She didn't reincarnate; she just has to cultivate from scratch, so her current life isn't considered her next life," the mysterious lady said with a sigh.
“Is there anything else we can do?” Ye Guan asked.
"No," the mysterious lady said with a shake of her head before explaining, "My big sister has obfuscated the already inscrutable threads of fate connected to Ba Wan, and I'm not strong enough to unravel what she had done."
Ye Guan clenched his fists, seemingly in deep thought.
"Don't overthink it, and don't be rash," the mysterious lady said before adding, “I also think that Cijing knows where she is."
Ye Guan frowned and asked, “The Adjudication Sword Master?”
“Yes," the mysterious lady nodded before explaining, "They're sisters related by blood, so she definitely knows where Ba Wan is at the moment."
“Do you really think that she's going to tell me?"
“I don’t think so. I think she wants to kill you more than anything."
Ye Guan pondered for a while before asking, “Senior, am I really out of options?”
The mysterious lady nodded.
Ye Guan nodded and opened his palm.
Ba Wan’s bowl appeared in his hand, and he looked down at it without a word.
Little Pagoda asked, “Are you giving up?”
Ye Guan suddenly raised his head and shouted, “Father! We're talking about your future daughter-in-law. Are you really not going to care?”
He's not answering! Ye Guan remained unperturbed as he yelled, “Grandfather! We're talking about your future daughter-in-law here! Are you really not going to care?!”
Still no answer… Ye Guan went silent. Moments later, he shouted, “She’s pregnant! The Yang Family's descend—“
Two explosions reverberated as two powerful auras appeared from out of nowhere…
Everyone was rendered speechless.
