Chapter 350: Going to Meet the Plain Skirt Lady
The Adjudication Sword Master said, “Then why not live a simple life?”
"Who\'s going to protect the True Universe?” Cishu retorted.
The Adjudication Sword Master stared deeply at Cishu before turning around to leave. She stopped at the door just before taking a step outside and said, “Cishu, regardless of your intentions, Big Sister will definitely not approve of what you guys are doing.”
With that, the Adjudication Sword Master left the stone hut.
Left all alone, Cishu was quiet for a long while. Eventually, she picked up the large bowl and started smiling while looking down at it. However, she suddenly got upset, and her expression was soon clouded by extreme conflict.
It seemed that even she could no longer tell if she was even doing the right thing.
...
The Adjudication Sword Master stumbled across Cirou outside the stone hut, and her gaze immediately turned cold upon seeing the latter.
“Don’t look at me like that, you brainless woman,” Cirou said.
The Adjudication Sword Master asked, “The Eternal Civilisation is about to launch an attack on the Guanxuan Universe. Are you happy now?”
"Cijing, do you really think that you and that little bastard are compatible?" Cirou asked.
The Adjudication Sword Master didn\'t say anything, but she tightened her grip on her sword.
Cirou stared at her and demanded, “Tell me!”
The Adjudication Master looked at Cirou and muttered, “I know that we\'re not compatible. Still, I can\'t bear to see him get bullied by others!”
With that, she transformed into a ray of light that disappeared into the horizon.
Left all alone, Cirou could only stomp angrily and curse, “Fuck!”
Cishu walked out of the stone hut upon hearing the commotion, and she was just in time to see Cirou curse one more, “That brainless woman really only knows violence and how to fight!”
Cishu remarked, “I’m slightly envious of her, though.”
Cirou frowned and asked, "Do you still like him?”
Instead of replying, Cishu turned around to leave.
Cirou’s face darkened. "Don’t you guys dare make me suffer a double whammy after we’ve paid such a huge price to get this far! Fuck!”
...
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed through the desolate starry sky somewhere in the Guanxuan Universe.
A figure was flying away at incredible speeds, and he inadvertently collided with a meteoroid. Fresh blood trickled down his lips. He wiped it away and looked at his chest. A fist-shaped dent was in his chest.
Erya licked her candied hawthorn and shouted, “Again!”
Ye Guan nodded lightly before rushing toward her once again.
Boom!
However, the outcome remained the same.
Fighting Erya was just asking for a beating. Ye Guan couldn\'t retaliate at all, and the most terrifying part was that even though his sword had managed to hit her in the head, it felt like he had struck an iron pillar rather than a head.
Erya’s fleshly body was insanely strong!
Ye Guan composed himself and charged out once more.
Just like that, he would get blasted away again and again, but he would always pick himself up and charge at Erya once more. Of course, Ye Guan was getting stronger; his fleshly body was becoming more and more durable with every beating.
Thanks to the Divine Tree of Nature, he could recover quickly regardless of the severity of his injuries. The Divine Tree of Nature had made this training session with Erya possible. If it weren\'t for the Divine Tree of Nature, Ye Guan would have been crippled long ago.
Just like that, Ye Guan trained non-stop with Erya every single day. He decided not to care about matters regarding the Guanxuan Academy and passed most of his responsibilities onto Nalan Jia and the academy chiefs.
Meanwhile, the Guanxuan Academy was getting ready for battle.
The Eternal Civilisation would attack them soon.
In the True God Hall, Nalan Jia and Li Banzhi sat opposite each other.
Nalan Jia took out a secret note and read out the information written on it. “Known strong cultivators of the Eternal Civilisation: Twelve Great Destiny Sovereigns, a hundred Great Time Sovereigns, two hundred Ordinary Great Sovereigns, more than ten thousand Divine Sovereigns, and thousands of Great Sorcerers...”
“In terms of overall strength, we\'re still at a disadvantage.”
After saying that, Nalan Jia turned to Li Banzhi.
Li Banzhi remarked in a low voice, “That’s not our biggest problem. Our biggest problem is the Eternal Sovereign. Only Martial Goddess An is strong enough to fight him. Even then, her chance of winning isn\'t that high.”
Li Banzhi then shook her head and continued. “He\'s also extremely arrogant. He doesn\'t take us seriously, but since he wants to obtain Little Guan’s Divine Tree of Nature. We must fight him no matter what.”
The Guanxuan Universe didn\'t have any other choice but to fight.
Nalan Jia nodded and said, “So be it.”
Li Banzhi looked at her and said, “How\'s your progress with the items in the cloth sachet?”
Nalan Jia smiled and replied, “I’ve learned how to use the majority of them.”
Li Banzhi nodded in approval and said, “Great.”
The items that Qin Guan had left behind in the cloth sachet couldn\'t be underestimated. Back then, she had used those items to slaughter the Divine Spirits of the True Universe.
“I’m more worried about the True Universe," Nalan Jia expressed, "The True Universe will definitely be waiting to reap the benefits. I’m worried that they\'d attack us the moment we\'ve repelled the Eternal Civilization.”
Li Banzhi frowned. She had the same sentiment as Nalan Jia.
Nalan Jia stood up. She walked over to the window and muttered, “The burden of protecting the Guanxuan Universe is truly a heavy mantle to carry.”
Li Banzhi chuckled and said, “Well, there’s nothing else you can do. Everyone else doesn’t want to do your job, so who\'s going to protect the Guanxuan Universe if the two of you no longer want to protect it?"
Nalan Jia shook her head and chuckled.
Li Banzhi walked up to her and grabbed her hands. She then smiled and said, “Don’t be too worried. His father, aunt, and grandfather will definitely not stand by and watch as the Guanxuan Universe is annihilated."
Nalan Jia nodded lightly and said, “Little Guan and I will try our best to keep the Guanxuan Universe safe.”
She grabbed the cloth sachet hanging by her waist and added, “Mother left some things here that I was supposed to use against the True Universe. It seems that I\'ll be able to try them on the Eternal Civilization."
Li Banzhi felt anticipation rising in her heart as she stared at the cloth sachet.
She started wondering as to what Qin Guan had left behind.
...
Chaotic Star World—no, the Eternal World.
Under Jingchen’s orders, the powerhouses of the Eternal Civilisation gathered at the former Martial Sect. The Martial Sect and the Holy Sect had been taken over by the Eternal Sovereign.
The Martial Sect and the Holy Sect didn\'t object.
After all, they once belonged to the Eternal Civilisation, just that they were a minor power at the time.
Throughout the entire Eternal World, Sovereign Xue of the Starry Sea Sect was the only outlier. She had refrained from joining the Eternal Civilization, but the Eternal Civilization couldn\'t care less about her.
She was a Great Destiny Sovereign, but it didn\'t matter to the Eternal Civilization.
Jingchen took out a secret note and started reading it. After a few moments, he looked at the old man wearing daoist robes and said, “Zhan Shi, the Guanxuan Academy is much stronger than we initially thought.”
He handed over the secret note to Zhan Shi.
Zhan Shi accepted it and skimmed through it before saying, “Their strongest powerhouses are Martial Goddess An and a few others. As long as we keep them occupied, the rest of our people can massacre the others.”
Jingchen nodded. The Guanxuan Universe had many supreme elites, but their common troops couldn\'t compare to the common troops of the Eternal Civilization.
Zhan Shi continued. “You must remember the two swordsmen I had mentioned. They\'re stronger than Great Destiny Sovereigns, so you must not underestimate them.”
Jingchen nodded and said, “I will not.”
Zhan Shi put the secret note down and said, “Overall, we\'re stronger than them."
“There\'s someone else that we can\'t afford to underestimate,” someone from the Holy Sect chimed in.
Zhan Shi and Jingchen looked at the man who had just spoken with their eyebrows raised, gesturing for him to continue. The same man said in a low voice, “Not long ago, Ye Guan came to the Chaotic Star World with another swordswoman wearing a plain skirt, and she killed a Great Destiny Sovereign with just a glance.”
Just a glance?! Zhan Shi and Jingchen immediately frowned.
Jingchen asked, “Are you sure?”
The man nodded and said, “Yes, I\'m not lying. I can\'t possibly lie because the person she killed was the Sect Master of our Holy Sect.”
Jingchen was quiet for a few moments before saying, “Is it possible that she used some kind of strange method to kill your Sect Master? Perhaps a method you won\'t recognize.”
The man became a little hesitant. He started doubting himself because killing a Great Destiny Sovereign with a mere glance was just outrageous. However, one thing was for sure—the plain-skirt lady was extremely terrifying!
Jingchen saw the man\'s hesitation and was convinced that the so-called plain-skirt lady had to have employed a trick unknown to the Holy Sect. The man was a Great Sovereign, but he was just an Ordinary Great Sovereign.
He had also been living in a backwater world, so his experience and knowledge had to be inferior to the elites of the Eternal Civilization.
"Regardless of the trick she must have used, we can\'t underestimate that plain-skirt lady," Zhan Shi said.
Jingchen nodded. “Yes, she must be very strong because she managed to make quick work of a Great Destiny Sovereign. The only issue is that we are not aware of the depths of her strength."
"Well, that\'s not an issue at all." Zhan Shi smiled and said, “ust get a Great Destiny Sovereign to fight her, and we’ll know.”
Zhan Shi turned to the man from the Holy Sect and asked, “Do you know where she went?”
The man replied in a low voice, “She said that she\'s going to travel the vast expanse and that her first stop is Milky Way.”
"All right," Zhan Shi said, “Let’s send someone over to Milky Way, then.”
He swept his gaze across the Great Destiny Sovereigns in the hall and asked, “Who wants to go?”
Sovereign Mang instantly stood up. “I’ll go. I want to see if she can really kill a Great Destiny Sovereign with a mere glance.”
“You cannot be reckless!” Zhan Shi reminded sternly.
"Of course, I won\'t be reckless." Sovereign Mang grinned and said, "I\'ll escape the moment I start losing. I don\'t think she can stop me if I want to escape."
Zhan Shi nodded. Sovereign Mang was one of the strongest Great Destiny Sovereigns in their roster. Not many people could stop him and kill him if he wanted to escape from a battlefield.
“See you later, then!” Sovereign Mang exclaimed before transforming into a multi-colored beam of light that disappeared into the starry sky.
