I Have a Sword

Zhan Qing smiled and walked up to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. "Chaotic Ancient Emperor, I know you left a trace of your soul here. Come out."

There was a moment of silence.

Then, the statue trembled slightly, and a phantom floated out of it.

It was the phantom of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

He looked at Ye Guan and then at Zhan Qing. "Tianxing."

"Indeed," Zhan Qing replied with a smile.

"What do you want?"

Zhan Qing looked at Ye Guan and said, "Little one, show him your sword. He's not going to come out without that sword of yours!"

Ye Guan glanced at the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and hesitated. Then, he decided to open his palm, revealing the Qingxuan Sword. The Qingxuan Sword floated toward the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor stared at the Qingxuan Sword. Gradually, a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes. After a long while, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor asked, "Who forged this sword for you?"

"A relative."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor stared deeply at Ye Guan.

"Chaotic Ancient Emperor, he might be your clan's only chance," Zhan Qing said.

"I don't trust you people from the Tianxing Civilization."

"The Tianxing Civilization has been devouring low-tier civilizations to break past our own limits and reach greater heights. However, the Tianxing Civilization is currently suffering from internal strife. We are severely weakened.

"Our top priority is to deal with the Great Sorcerer Clan and the Evil Dao Alliance."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor asked Ye Guan, "Are you also enemies with the Evil Dao Alliance and the Great Sorcerer Clan?"

"Yes."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor fell silent again.

"Elder, are you familiar with them?" Ye Guan asked out of curiosity.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor nodded and responded, "The Great Sorcerer Clan and my Chaotic Ancient Clan are from the Chaotic Ancient Era. Their strength was only second to ours back then.

"However, my Chaotic Ancient Clan ended up facing a formidable enemy that had joined forces with many other clans against us."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor stared at Ye Guan before continuing, "The Great Sorcerer Clan also had many powerful allies. Besides that, their founding ancestor once made contact with a Tier Six Civilization.

"I've always suspected that their sudden mobilization of the clans to attack my Chaotic Ancient Clan was done under the encouragement of that Tier Six Civilization." řἈɴƟВΕṣ

Ye Guan was a bit puzzled as he asked, "How come that Tier Six civilization did not confront you guys directly?"

"I don't know why," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor said, shaking his head. "But I suspect that there was more than one Tier Six Civilization. There must have been some agreement between them. What I am certain of is that they absolutely do not allow any other civilizations to become a Tier Six Civilization.

"My Chaotic Ancient Clan was on the verge of breaking through our own limits to become a Tier Six Civilization. Thus, my Chaotic Ancient Clan suffered that catastrophe."

"So my assumption was correct," Zhan Qing mumbled.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor turned to Zhan Qing and said, "You mentioned earlier that your Tianxing Civilization is also in a crisis and that the Great Sorcerer Clan is targeting you. I don't think they'll target your civilization for no reason."

"Could it be that the Tianxing Civilization has developed too quickly over the years?" Zhan Qing muttered with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Why is the Evil Dao Alliance targeting you?" the Chaotic Ancient Emperor asked Ye Guan.

Ye Guan then briefly explained his grievances with the Evil Dao Alliance.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor frowned deeply. "The Evil Dao Ancestor is being suppressed?"

"Yes."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's face changed. "The Evil Dao Ancestor is known for constantly reincarnating and cultivating anew; every reincarnation, she gathers overwhelming strength. I once crossed paths with her…"

"What happened?" Ye Guan asked hurriedly.

"I was no match for her. At that time, she had reincarnated only a few thousand times. Her strength is certainly much greater now."

Ye Guan fell silent.

"Her goal is to fuse the tribulations of countless universe regions and obliterate all living beings, allowing herself to reach brand-new heights. If she accomplishes that, then her strength will be equivalent to an entire Tier Six Civilization."

Ye Guan scoffed, "That's wishful thinking!"

Zhan Qing and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor remained silent.

Ye Guan then asked, "What about the First Hall Master?"

"She's stronger than the Evil Dao Ancestor. Moreover, her origins are very mysterious. Back then, I tried to investigate her background, but she had warned me to stop. Since I had no conflict of interest with the Evil Dao Alliance, I decided to heed her warning."

Ye Guan remained silent. Stronger than the Evil Dao Ancestor? Could she be Clan Leader Jing?

Among the opponents that Ye Guan had faced over the years, there were two opponents that stood out to him—the Great Daoist Brush Master and Clan Leader Jing.

However, Ye Guan felt like Clan Leader Jing wasn't the First Hall Master. Ugh! What a headache!

Ye Guan looked at the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and pointed out. "Elder, you mentioned that the Founding Ancestor of the Great Sorcerer Clan once had contact with a Tier Six Civilization."

"Yes."

"What is the name of that Tier Six Civilization?"

"I don't know," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor said, shaking his head. "However, you must be extremely cautious now that you are at odds with them."

"I understand." Ye Guan nodded.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor stared at Ye Guan, seemingly hesitating to say something.

Zhan Qing noticed that and smiled. "Chaotic Ancient Emperor, given the current plight of the Chaotic Ancient Clan, why not take one more gamble?"

A gamble!

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor immediately understood what Zhan Qing meant.

The Chaotic Ancient Clan had already fallen. If he wanted his clan to rise again, they would need someone's help, or it was simply an impossible ordeal. In addition, why would anyone help without good reason?

One had to risk capital to earn some profits.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor looked at Ye Guan once more and pondered whether Ye Guan was worthy of his trust. He couldn't be completely sure of it.

If they ended up winning the gamble, the Chaotic Ancient Clan would rise again, but if they lost, the Chaotic Ancient Clan would completely disappear.

Zhan Qing smiled and remarked, "If your Chaotic Ancient Clan were at its peak, I'd understand your hesitation. But given its current state, why are you hesitating? There's nothing to lose, anyway."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor looked at the Qingxuan Sword in front of him and laughed. "Haha. That's true."

Then, he asked Ye Guan, "How should I address you?"

"Ye Guan."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor nodded. "Young Master Ye, my Chaotic Ancient Clan's glory days have passed, but if you don't mind, we're willing to serve you."

"Will the elites of your Chaotic Ancient Clan be willing to follow my orders?"

"Rest assured, they will absolutely obey your words."

"Alright."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor smiled confidently and looked outside. He opened his palms and gently pressed them down. "Arise."

Boom!

A powerful aura rushed out of the graveyard, pervading the skies.

The tombstones shattered, and tens of thousands of elites emerged from the graveyard. Their auras were incredibly strong, comparable to the strongest cultivators of the Tianxing Civilization.

Four experts emerged from bloody monuments, exuding an incomparably formidable presence. Clad in dark-gold battle armor, they held long spears as they stood at the helm of everyone else.

When the elites reached the hall, they all knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Clan Leader!"

Their voices reverberated like thunder.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor turned to Ye Guan and spread his palm to reveal a gold seal that slowly floated over to the latter. Then, he addressed the people, saying, "From this moment on, treat Young Master Ye as you would treat me. You are to follow his commands.

"Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."

The elites were taken aback, and they looked at Ye Guan with puzzled expressions.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor furrowed his brows and questioned, "Did you not hear me?"

The elites were shocked, and they quickly turned to Ye Guan, bowing respectfully toward him. "Greetings, Young Master Ye."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor had a godlike presence in the clan. It wasn't just a matter of following Ye Guan's orders, as they wouldn't hesitate even if he had commanded them to take their own lives.

Ye Guan glanced at the Chaotic Ancient Clan members, and then he turned to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. "Elder, you should know that we are soon going to fight the Great Sorcerer Clan."

"Hahaha!" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor laughed. "My Chaotic Ancient Clan has been wanting to avenge our grievances. In the upcoming battle with the Great Sorcerer Clan, we will lead the charge!"

The Great Sorcerer Clan!

The clan members revealed killing intent and hostility at the mention of the Great Sorcerer Clan.

Back then, the Great Sorcerer Clan were subordinates of the Chaotic Ancient Clan, but they were the first to stab the Chaotic Ancient Clan in the back. In addition, many Chaotic Ancient Clan members had fallen at the hands of the Great Sorcerer Clan.

They wanted a bloody revenge!

"Great." Ye Guan nodded. He needed a group of experts to assist him. After the Tianxing Civilization's civil war, the Tianxing Civilization was left only with a handful of capable fighters, such as Jing Chu and Yi Nian.

With the help of these Chaotic Ancient Clan warriors, Ye Guan could finally confront the Evil Dao Alliance and the Great Sorcerer Clan!

Just then, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor opened his palm, and a storage ring floated slowly to Ye Guan.

"What is this?" asked Ye Guan.

"The ring contains all the divine items and the Eternal Veins of my Chaotic Ancient Clan. Inside is the Chaotic Ancient Divine Armor, which is one of our three great treasures. You can use it."

Ye Guan didn't refuse and accepted the ring. "Elder, aside from these clan members, does the Chaotic Ancient Civilization have other clan members? If so, I will certainly take care of them.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor smiled. "Of course, and they are currently living in a special spacetime region. I hope you'll take good care of them when the time comes."

"I definitely will."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor looked at Ye Guan with a wide smile, recognizing that the young man had genuine, kind intentions. Then, he opened his palm once more to reveal a thick ancient book. He handed it to Ye Guan and explained, "This is the Book of Time. My Chaotic Ancient Clan compiled it through years of collective efforts researching the concept of time.

"We were about to make a breakthrough, but we faced a disaster back then. I present this book to you. With it, you will have a clearer understanding of our vast expanse, and it should significantly enhance your strength, especially in the realm of spacetime manipulation."
