I Have a Sword

It wasn't out of a random whim that Ye Guan had decided to retrace his steps. It was all because he had realized that his Order Sword Intent became even more refined upon withstanding the terrifying will.

Ye Guan was thrilled by the discovery. He hadn't expected it, so the unexpected discovery brought him immense joy.

This time around, Ye Guan performed much better than before. While the process was still arduous, his mindset toward it had changed entirely.

He slowly made his way toward the Supreme Law Heart. After what seemed like ages, he reached the heart but didn't take it. Instead, he turned back and returned to his original position.

He started walking once again.

Ye Guan's Order Sword Intent grew more and more refined and powerful under the will's relentless tempering.

At first, it took Ye Guan an hour to cross a distance of a kilometer to reach the Supreme Law Heart, but on his second time around, it took him only thirty minutes.

A man in a white robe and a woman in a pale blue robe quietly stared at Ye Guan.

The white-robed man frowned. "Is he just... training here endlessly?"

"Zuo Xi, are we really going to just sit here and watch him train?" asked the white-robed man while staring at the pale blue-robed woman.

Zuo Xi was the best member of the Divine Law Academy's younger generation.

Zuo Xi's thoughts were inscrutable as she stared at Ye Guan. She was puzzled, too, but her instincts told her that there was something unusual about Ye Guan.

In the face of Zuo Xi's silence, the white-robed man coldly said, "I'm not just going to sit here and let him have all the fun."

With that, he started walking toward Ye Guan.

"Meng Zhao, wait!" Zuo Xi exclaimed.

Meng Zhao!

He was the most talented member of the Titan Clan's younger generation. He was their young clan leader as well.

Meng Zhao turned to her with a firm face. "Waiting isn't my style."

With that, he dashed toward the core region as if he were an arrow that had just been unleashed from a bow. He moved swiftly, but as soon as he was under the influence of the terrifying distant will, he slowed down significantly.

Meng Zhao's eyes narrowed as he let out a roar and stomped forward. Yet, he slowed down once again. His movements became torturously slow. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was trembling like an aspen tree under the pressure.

Just then, Ye Guan walked past him.

Ye Guan glanced at him calmly before walking away at a measured pace. He looked as if he were on a leisurely walk.

Meng Zhao's face darkened at the sight. He refused to be overshadowed and roared again, unleashing all his power to press forward. He was just a few steps away from the Supreme Law Heart, but he could no longer go any farther.

The pressure was just too overwhelming for him to withstand.

Meng Zhao could only watch in disbelief as Ye Guan effortlessly reached the Supreme Law Heart. However, instead of taking it away, Ye Guan turned around and soared into the air before returning to his starting point.

Then, he wasted no time and started walking all over again!

Meng Zhao felt utterly humiliated. Gritting his teeth, he clenched his fists and trudged forward again. Each step was even more agonizing, but he pressed on.

An unknown amount of time later, Meng Zhao watched as Ye Guan walked past him once again.

Ye Guan glanced calmly at Meng Zhao before continuing his stroll. Then, like what he had done the first time around, he turned around and retreated a thousand meters away instead of taking away the Supreme Law Heart.

It seemed as if he were… playing.

Meng Zhao was furious. Feeling humiliated, he gnashed his teeth and pressed forward.

Finally, he made it to the Supreme Law Heart. Overjoyed, he reached out to claim it without hesitation. As soon as his hand touched the Supreme Law Heart, however, a mysterious force erupted from it.

Meng Zhao's pupils shrank.

Boom!

The force blasted him thousands of meters away. When he finally stopped, he was covered in wounds with blood spilling everywhere. At that moment, the heart's will coalesced into a massive hand that swept toward him like a wave.

Meng Zhao's face changed drastically. Ignoring his injuries, he stood and tapped his forehead. Instantly, he grew to dozens of meters tall, transforming into a towering titan.

With a roar, he raised his arms to block the massive hand.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Meng Zhao spat out several mouthfuls of blood, but he managed to withstand the attack.

Just then, he looked up and saw Ye Guan grab the Supreme Law Heart before leaving.

"Damn it!"

Furious, Meng Zhao spat another mouthful of blood.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was already gone.

The massive hand turned to chase Ye Guan, leaving Meng Zhao panting with his body on the verge of collapse. If the hand managed to hit him a second time, his fleshly body would be destroyed.

Meng Zhao steadied himself and was about to chase after Ye Guan when Zuo Xi's voice rang out. "Do you really think you can defeat him now?"

Meng Zhao's face twisted with rage, but he fell silent.

Zuo Xi opened her palm, and a green light emerged, entering Meng Zhao's body. In mere moments, Meng Zhao's injuries healed completely.

"A Divine Healing Art!" Meng Zhao exclaimed, astonished.

Zuo Xi gazed into the distance. "He's stronger than we had anticipated. If we fight him head-on, we'll lose. We need to team up with the others here."

Meng Zhao hesitated. "You mean... them?"

Zuo Xi said nothing.

Meng Zhao frowned. "Teaming up with them is like making a deal with the devil..."

Zuo Xi calmly asked, "Do you have a better idea, then?"

Meng Zhao stayed silent.

"Let's go," Zuo Xi said, disappearing in a single step.

Meng Zhao hesitated briefly before following her.

***

Meanwhile, Ye Guan ran at full speed, clutching the Supreme Law Heart. He put away the heart into the tiny pagoda upon sensing the massive hand chasing after him.

"Are you for real?!" Little Pagoda exclaimed.

When the Supreme Law Heart disappeared, the coalesced will immediately lost its target. It froze and stayed in place for a moment before it started dissipating.

Ye Guan stopped and turned to look at the masterless will in the distance. A few moments later, his eyes gleamed with an idea in mind.

Little Pagoda noticed that and asked, "Are you cooking something up?"

Ye Guan stared at the will and grinned. "Master Pagoda, it's a masterless will. If I were to subdue it..."

"Hey, what are you trying to do?!"

Ye Guan didn't respond. Instead, he rushed to the will. The will instinctively resisted, but Ye Guan dragged it into the tiny pagoda.

Inside the pagoda, he placed the will in a vast desert. Gazing at it, he murmured, "The power of that will is probably less than one-tenth of when its owner is still around."

Little Pagoda remarked, "It is indeed masterless, but it won't submit to you that easily. What's your plan?"

"Hehe." Ye Guan chuckled. "Its survival depends on that Supreme Law Heart, so…"

Swoosh!

His figure flickered, and he transformed into a streak of sword light that soon arrived on a distant island. The Supreme Law Heart was floating quietly in the middle of that island.

Little Pagoda asked, "Are you planning on devouring the Supreme Law Heart?"

Ye Guan didn't reply and simply stared at the Supreme Law Heart. He could sense a powerful energy emanating from it.

The Supreme Law!

The core of the heart's power was the Supreme Law.

He couldn't deny it—Fan Zhaodi's words had greatly tempted him. If he could truly transform the Guanxuan Laws into a cultivation method, people would surely cultivate it to become even stronger.

Most importantly, they would do so of their own volition.

Voluntary acceptance and forced compliance were two different things.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan stepped forward and walked up to the Supreme Law Heart.

He placed his hand on it, and in an instant, he felt an incredibly terrifying power. It seemed boundless and infinite, like the vast, unfathomable vast expanse itself.

Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes.

"Hesitating?" asked Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan nodded. "Master Pagoda, her words are tempting. I want to do it, but to achieve that, I need to study the Supreme Law first.

"However, I know that she definitely has ulterior motives. If I proceed, I'll gain greater power, and I'll be able to improve the Guanxuan Laws. Unfortunately, it also means falling into her trap, and I still don't know her true goals."

Little Pagoda responded, "There's no such thing as a perfect solution in this world. If you want to gain something, you have to pay. Don't overthink it. Just go for it. Whatever happens, your aunt and I will back you up."
