BXBX NOVEL Chapter 807: Proper Way
Chapter 807: Proper Way
The Asura Clan had tried hard to keep it under wraps, but Xin Yu was a high-ranking member of the Asura Civilization, so she was aware of the details.
The Asura Clan\'s super genius of the previous generation was named Asura Cang, and he was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
Unfortunately, he was part of a branch rather than part of the main clan. As a result, Asura Cang was ruthlessly suppressed rather than, and he ultimately died under mysterious circumstances.
At the time, there was nothing Xin Yu could do, even though she had heard of Asura Cang. Moreover, the Supreme Scholar Academy couldn\'t interfere in the private affairs of the three great clans.
Asura Han, who was another super genius, had a similar fate as Asura Cang. Tragically, she wasn\'t from the main clan as well, so she was bullied, and her mother was indirectly killed by the Asura Clan.
The main clan\'s reluctance to share power had doomed the branch family to tragedy. If the Asura Clan leaders—Asura Xiao and Asura Jing—were just a tad bit wiser, the clan could have thrived for thousands of years with such formidable talents.
Xin Yu sighed and shook her head before turning around to leave.

Ye Guan slowly traversed through a starry region next to the Unfettered Swordsman.
Glancing at his uncle, Ye Guan smiled slightly. He couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of his uncle, who had been living a carefree life of seeking nothing but death—a pure pursuit of desire.
The Unfettered Swordsman smiled and remarked, "Your strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
Ye Guan smiled wryly. "But compared to you all—"
The Unfettered Swordsman interrupted, "Why compare yourself to others?"
Ye Guan was taken aback.
The Unfettered Swordsman added, "The higher mountain is not next to you but inside your heart. If your heart has no boundaries, then no boundary can ever stop you."
Ye Guan fell silent, his hands slowly clenching into fists.
"But honestly... being true to oneself is really difficult." The Unfettered Swordsman paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, it\'s easy for us, but for you? Haha.
"Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
The Unfettered Swordsman chuckled and said, "Let\'s not talk about such grand principles. After all, you\'re not supposed to learn them from others; you must comprehend them yourself. The blood corpse I just killed was somewhat unusual—unusual for you..."
Ye Guan felt his scalp going numb. Has Uncle always been talking like this?
Little Pagoda dared not comment.
The Unfettered Swordsman glanced to the right and said, "The road ahead is rough, but you must walk it yourself. Otherwise, you will not improve nor be enlightened to its profundities."
With that, he patted Ye Guan on the shoulder and smiled. "You need to pick up the pace."
Ye Guan was puzzled, but the Unfettered Swordsman went silent as he disappeared into the depths of the starry sky in a ray of sword light.
He left just like that? Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. His uncle left as suddenly as he had appeared. What a carefree Uncle.
Ye Guan looked down at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. He had to admit that he was surprised by Xuan Ce\'s arrogance upon obtaining the Qingxuan Sword.
Invincible? In truth, Ye Guan would feel the same way whenever he was wielding the Qingxuan Sword.
Humans ought to avoid possessing wealth or power beyond their own wisdom and strength. When one\'s mind and strength were lacking, anything in excess would become a great curse rather than a blessing.
At this moment, Xin Yu and Taia Tian suddenly appeared a short distance in front of Ye Guan.
Xin Yu approached Ye Guan and smiled. "Shall we talk?"
Ye Guan nodded. "I was thinking of the same thing."
The three of them went to the Supreme Scholar Academy, where Xin Yu lived.
In an ancient pavilion in the starry sky, Ye Guan, Taia Tian, and Xin Yu sat around a table.
Xin Yu poured tea for Ye Guan and Taia Tian. Then, she looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "Can you tell us more about your civilization, Young Master Ye?"
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I come from a place called the Guanxuan Universe..."
He then gave an overview of his Guanxuan Civilization, including why he had come to this part of the vast expanse.
Xin Yu muttered, "The Forest Civilization..."
Taia Tian said, "We discovered them, actually. The Asura Guards made contact with them. They claimed to be a Tier Three civilization, but they were quite weak. Later, they actually ran away, and the Asura Guards were dispatched to look for them. I had no idea that they\'re from the same universe region as you, Young Master Ye."
Xin Yu looked at Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, do you plan to bring the Guanxuan Civilization here?"
Ye Guan shook his head. "Right now, the Guanxuan Universe is too weak to come here. However, it won\'t be long before we reach the level of a Tier Three civilization."
The Guanxuan Universe was developing rapidly. Qin Guan was also supporting them financially, so it was only a matter of time before the Guanxuan Civilization became a Tier Three civilization.
Xin Yu and Taia Tian exchanged glances.
Xin Yu hesitated briefly before saying, "Young Master Ye, our Asura Civilization is willing to form an alliance with the Guanxuan Civilization and engage in cultural and economic trade. What do you think?"
Ye Guan smiled. "Sure."
Xin Yu and Taia Tian grinned upon hearing Ye Guan\'s response.
Ye Guan was from a Tier One civilization, but both Xin Yu and Taia Tian never thought of the Guanxuan Civilization as a Tier One civilization. Disregarding everything else, Ye Guan\'s sword alone was enough to dominate a Tier Three civilization.
If Ye Guan was just a bit stronger, he could hold his own against an entire Tier Four civilization.
Of course, they weren\'t entirely sure, as they had yet to counter another Tier Four civilization, so they couldn\'t make accurate deductions.
Xin Yu said, "Young Master Ye, give us the coordinates of your civilization, and we\'ll send our representatives right away."
"Sure." Ye Guan nodded. He took out a transmission talisman and handed it to Xin Yu. "You can contact my sister, Little Ai. She is currently responsible for foreign affairs."
Xin Yu took the talisman and smiled. "Alright, I\'ll contact your sister."
Ye Guan was about to speak when Taia Nan suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Taia Nan said in a deep voice, "The Arcanist Civilization has decided to make a big move."
Taia Tian frowned, asking, "What do you mean?"
Taia Nan replied, "They\'ve blasted a message throughout this universe region, saying that they\'re looking for three inheritors to pass on their civilization\'s legacy.
"We\'ve received news about how the other civilizations are sending their representatives over as we speak, but I think there\'s something fishy here."
Xin Yu remarked, "There is definitely something wrong with the Arcanist Civilization."
Ye Guan nodded in agreement. They had given him a blood-red coffin that contained a blood corpse. Fortunately, he was cautious enough not to put it into the tiny pagoda. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ye Guan\'s gaze turned cold. They likely wanted the blood corpse in the blood-red coffin to possess him, but they hadn\'t anticipated the presence of Yi Nian, who had deterred the blood corpse from attempting to possess Ye Guan.
How malicious.
Of course, Ye Guan wasn\'t afraid of the blood corpse. What a joke. He had the Qingxuan Sword with him, so why would he be afraid of a soul?
Taia Tian suddenly suggested, "Should we go there and take a look?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Let\'s go see what they\'re up to."
Xin Yu stood up and paced back and forth. After a while, she remarked, "I don\'t think they\'re looking for inheritors. Otherwise, they wouldn\'t have missed out on Young Master Ye. I suspect there\'s a major conspiracy here."
A conspiracy? Ye Guan thought before asking, "Are they trying to revive their civilization?"
Taia Tian frowned.
Xin Yu turned to Ye Guan and replied, "It\'s highly possible."
Ye Guan\'s eyes narrowed.
Xin Yu and Taia Tian\'s expressions grew solemn. There were no Tier Four civilizations in this universe region. If a Tier Four civilization were to appear here, it would be catastrophic for the existing civilizations in this universe region.
The Asura Civilization would be in danger, too!
After all, the Asura Civilization could only be considered a pseudo-Tier Four civilization, not a true Tier Four civilization.
"We need to prepare for the worst," Xin Yu said deeply.
Taia Tian nodded and replied, "There\'s no way their intentions are good. Our Asura Civilization and the Junlin Civilization are the strongest civilizations in this universe region. The Junlin Civilization will surely be in danger if we\'re in danger, so how about I reach out to them?"
"Great idea," Xin Yu said, "Contact the Junlin Civilization, and I\'ll go back to those ruins with Young Master Ye. From this moment onward, I want you to recall all of the Asura Civilization\'s external forces and place the entire civilization on the highest alert level."
"Got it," Taia Tian said. He then stood up and stared at Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, I\'ll take my leave first."
With that, he disappeared into thin air.
Xin Yu\'s eyes revealed deep concern.
"If there were no internal strife among us, we would have..." Xin Yu trailed off. Then, she revealed a self-deprecating smile. The Xuan Clan and the Asura Clan are beyond saving. If those two clans were still around, Ye Guan would never establish an alliance with the Asura Civilization. The losses would be greater if they were still around!
Xin Yu withdrew her thoughts and looked at Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, shall we head to those ruins now?"
Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Miss Xin Yu, I\'m quite curious about your Supreme Scholar Academy. Are you focused purely on academic research, or..."
"You should not underestimate our Supreme Scholar Academy, Young Master Ye," Xin Yu replied with a smile. "While we primarily engage in academic research, we also have a powerful armed force. Our army is quite formidable."
Ye Guan smiled slightly. "I see."
"Young Master Ye, do you have any sisters?" Xin Yu asked.
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, I do."
Xin Yu blinked and asked, "Would you mind having one more? We can become sworn siblings! I can be your sworn elder sister... in a proper way, of course!"
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
