I Have A Sword-Chapter 571: Let Me Hold Onto You

Wanting to know who emerged victorious, everyone turned their attention to the Sword Domain as it shattered.

Ye Guan's heart tightened. He felt somewhat nervous. Even though he was confident in Qingqiu's abilities, her opponent was Clan Leader Jing.

That woman was even more terrifying than the Evil Dao.

Under everyone's gaze... Qingqiu slowly walked out from the sea of sword lights.

Ye Guan heaved a sigh of relief.

Qingqiu smiled at all of them. "Have we killed them all?"

Qin Guan nodded. Almost everyone from the Past Clan had been killed except for the few who had managed to escape. It was a decisive victory.

Qingqiu turned to Ye Guan. "Let's have a chat."

Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."

As the two walked away from the rest, Qin Guan just silently glanced at them.

Having walked for quite a while already, Ye Guan was about to say something when Qingqiu suddenly coughed and blood started to flow from the corner of her lips.

Ye Guan's expression drastically darkened. "Aunt..."

Qingqiu smiled faintly. "I won't die."

"I..." Ye Guan trailed off, his voice trembling.

He thought that Qingqiu had won the battle against Clan Leader Jing, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Qingqiu held onto Ye Guan's arm. "Let me hold onto you for a moment."

Ye Guan went completely numb. He could tell that she was very weak.

She's this injured? Is the leader of the Past Clan that terrifying?

Hesitantly, he asked, "Aunt, Clan Leader Jing..."

Qingqiu sighed. "She's very strong. I wasn't a match for her at all."

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

Pretending to look a little nervous, she added, "You don't think that I'm weak, do you?"

"Why would I think of you that way? Don't say things like that, Aunt. I..."

"I'm just kidding."

Ye Guan nodded with a heavy heart. First, it was the Evil Dao, and now, there was the white-robed lady. He was really starting to feel the pressure.

Qingqiu glanced at him. "Now that the matter in the Time River has been resolved, the next thing you need to do is take over it. it looks like you don't have to handle these matters on your own, though, so what are your plans?"

"I need to become stronger."

"Let me introduce you to a place."

"Where?"

"The Divine Academy."

The Divine Academy?"

"Yes."

"I've never heard of it."

"It's in the Old Era."

"From billions of years ago?"

"Yes. The Divine Academy was founded by the First God, who was from the Temple of the Gods. During his era, the dawn of the universe, chaos reigned and many beings did not yet understand how to cultivate. He established the academy specifically to teach all beings the path of cultivation. That's why it also became known as the origin of the Dao and civilization."

"This Divine Academy and the Temple of the Gods..."

"Yes, they are related, but the Gods from the Temple of the Gods cannot interfere with them because it is quite special. Even now, the Gods who are still around dare not provoke them."

"Does Aunt want me to study at this Academy?"

Qingqiu nodded. "With your current strength and resources, it's better to study at home than outside. After all, you are surrounded by top-tier experts. However, that place is different. Back then, the First God created three Daos—the Human Dao, the Heavenly Dao, and the Divine Dao, which all surpassed the Great Dao itself. No, more accurately, they transcend the Great Dao itself. Back when the Great Dao was in the Divine Academy, it was just a mediocre existence."

Ye Guan asked, "He created three Daos on his own?"

"Yes," Qingqiu replied with a smile.

"Aunt, I heard from the Great Daoist Brush Master that the Great Dao was also created by the First God..."

"The Great Dao was indeed created by him, and this Great Dao was also a form of order. It was fine at the beginning, but after the fall of the First God, the Temple of the Gods plunged into chaos. With no one to restrain the Great Dao, she started to develop her own thoughts, which is only natural. Be it humans, gods, or even the Great Dao itself, we all have our own desires."

"Is there anyone in the Divine Academy who can control the Great Dao?"

Qingqiu chuckled and ruffled his hair gently. "Remember, don't place your hopes on others. Once you start relying on someone, you'll have to keep relying on them in the future. Moreover, relying on yourself is always better than relying on others, understand?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."

Qingqiu grinned. "Head to the Divine Academy with your sister in three days."

"Big Sis also wants to go?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

"When you get there, you should take a look at their divine records. Many of those records were left behind by the First God himself. They not only describe some historical events back then but also contain records of other civilizations. It will be helpful for your cultivation."

"Okay," Ye Guan replied. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Aunt, what about the leader of the Past Clan?"

Qingqiu blinked. "She left."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "She just left like that?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"She's probably busy."

Ye Guan's expression froze.

Qingqiu laughed. "You only have three days left. Make sure you say your goodbyes."

Ye Guan slightly nodded before he turned to leave. As she watched him leave, she wiped the blood from the corner of her lips before shaking her head with a smile.

At that moment, three women—Ye Qingqing and her two companions—slowly walked out from behind her.

The four Destinies had gathered.

Ye Qingqing coldly gazed at Ye Guan, who was already quite a distance away. "That woman is playing dirty tricks. Should we continue keeping her around?"

Qingqiu smiled. "The little lad needs a little bit more pressure. We can pave the way for him, but he has to walk it himself. Otherwise, he won't be able to bear the weight of the universe in the future."

Ye Qingqing said, "I don't understand why you want him to bear the weight of this universe. Why do we care?"

Qingqiu chuckled lightly, "If there had been order in our era, Brother would not have died at the hands of the Heavenly Dao..."

Ye Qingqing's expression instantly turned cold. The other two Destinies' faces also soured.

Strength was often forged under pressure. During good times when people were well-fed, how many would actually risk their lives to rebel? If there had been order in the world back then, the invincible Destiny would not have been created.

"I want to go to the Divine Academy as well," Ye Qingqing suddenly said.

Slaughter added, "Me too. Let's go take a look."

White Skirt Destiny blinked. "If all of you are going, then I'm going too."

...

When Ye Guan walked up to Qin Guan, she smiled and asked, "What did your aunt tell you?"

"She wants me and Big Sis to go to the Divine Academy."

The Divine Academy?

Qin Guan frowned.

Upon seeing her reaction, he asked, "Mother, do you know anything about the Divine Academy?"

"A little. The Old Era is our next target."

"Our next target?"

"Yes. Since that place has numerous ties to the Temple of the Gods, we're targeting them next. However, for now, we need to proceed slowly because we've just wiped out the Past Sect. I need to consolidate the entire Time River and All Worlds."

"That's true."

Now that the Guanxuan Universe had taken down the Past Clan, they needed to take over the entire Time River. Conquering a kingdom was difficult, but governing it was even harder.

Qin Guan grinned. "When you go to the Divine Academy, you can also help see how things are over there. Once I've dealt with matters here, I'll bring my people over."

"Okay."

Since they were going to establish a new order, the first step they had to take was naturally to unify the universe.

Qin Guan chuckled. "Go and see Little Jia and the others."

Ye Guan nodded.

After he left, Qin Guan remained silent for a while. She then called, "An You."

A figure dressed in black appeared behind her.

"Head over to the Old Era as well," Qin Guan calmly ordered.

An You bowed in respect before leaving.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia took a stroll among the stars.

Along the way, Nalan Jia stayed silent.

Feeling guilty, Ye Guan reached out and held her hand. Ever since they got married, they had spent more time apart than together.

"Little Jia, how about going to the Divine Academy with me?"

"Really?" Nalan Jia asked.

"Yes."

Nalan Jia looked at him for a few moments before smiling. "No, it's okay."

"I'm serious."

"I know."

Ye Guan was about to say something when Nalan Jia inched closer to him and whispered something in his ear. Right after, his eyes widened.
