Chapter 838: Once A Tier Five Civilization

The Shui Clan was once considered a Tier Five civilization.

They had fallen, but there were countless monstrous geniuses within the clan. However, the Shui Clan still hadn\'t been able to revive itself, even though it had been many generations since then.

Ye Guan was suddenly curious. "Senior Qiu Ling, can you tell me more about the Evil Dao Alliance? I know very little about them."

Qiuling collected his thoughts and replied, "Actually, I don\'t know much about them, either. I only became aware of them because we faced them back then. At the time, there was a Universe Tribulation in this universe region. We decided to talk to them in hopes of delaying the Universe Tribulation."

Ye Guan probed further, "And then?"

Qiu Ling spoke in a solemn tone of voice, "Initially, the negotiations didn\'t go smoothly. Later on, we took advantage of our most powerful sacred character and fought them. The fight ended without a clear victor.

"After that, our high priest intervened and talked to them. I don\'t know whether they fought or not, but they eventually agreed to postpone the Universe Tribulation of this universe region."

Qiu Ling paused for a moment before continuing, "I\'m sure you don\'t know the strength of our high priest, so let me confess something. Our high priest was the one who sealed me in that black pagoda."

Ye Guan was shocked by the revelation. The fact that the High Priest of the Shui Clan managed to suppress someone like Qiu Ling meant that she was extremely powerful.

"The fact that the High Priest had to intervene meant the Evil Dao Alliance was powerful enough to warrant that intervention. Of course, the decline of our Shui Clan is a part of that. If it had happened during our glory days..." Qiu Ling sighed softly with eyes filled with a sense of desolation.

Ye Guan remained silent, but his expression was solemn.

The Evil Dao Alliance!

He certainly hadn\'t forgotten what the old woman from the Evil Dao Alliance had told him when she questioned him about Sister Zhen.

They were aware of the True God\'s existence.

At first, he was just worried, but now, it had become certain that the Evil Dao Alliance was a threat to Sister Zhen.

Eventually, Ye Guan would have to face the Evil Dao of the True Universe along with the Evil Dao Alliance!

Ye Guan had promised Sister Zhen that he\'d rescue her by himself, which meant that he had to rely only on himself.

Ye Guan clenched his fists.

Gu Ze suddenly said, "Brat, I\'m curious. How did you end up in conflict with the Evil Dao Alliance?"

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. "It’s a long story."

Gu Ze smirked mischievously, clearly finding Ye Guan\'s predicament to be quite amusing.

Qiu Ling chimed in, "Young friend, what is the origin of this sword of yours?"

Gu Ze immediately became interested. The sword was intriguing.

Ye Guan replied, "To be honest, this sword was crafted by my aunt."

Little Pagoda corrected Ye Guan, "It was crafted for your father."

Ye Guan retorted, "My father\'s items are my items as well? Isn\'t that the case?"

Little Pagoda remained silent.

“What realm is your aunt in?" Gu Ze asked.

"I don\'t know."

"You don\'t know?"

"All I know is that she doesn\'t cultivate realms."

Gu Ze and Qiu Ling exchanged astonished glances.

Ye Guan took out the brush and asked, "Seniors, I would like to reactivate the ancient character. How do I do that?"

"There are two ways," Qiu Ling said, “The first way is to ask a Spirit Progenitor to do it for you. The second way is to let it absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy. Without that brush, the second way will not work. It will actually work technically, but you have to absorb the spiritual energy of countless worlds. Fortunately, you have that brush, so you should be able to reactivate the character with just a chunk of your Ancestral Veins.”

“Where did this brush come from?”

“Our high priest was once using that brush, so I guess it came from her.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes.”

“This high priest of yours... must be really strong,” Ye Guan replied solemnly.

Qiu Ling chuckled and said with pride, “Indeed.”

Ye Guan smiled. "Senior Qiu Ling, it seems that you don’t resent the high priest even though she suppressed you."

"I was suppressed because I made a mistake. It was my own fault."

"It\'s time to go," Gu Ze chimed in.

Ye Guan was puzzled, "Where are you two going?"

Gu Ze smiled. "We\'re going out to look for our Shui Clan."

“Do you know where they are?"

"We have an idea, but we\'re not sure whether they\'re still there or not. If they\'re no longer there, we\'ll continue our search. We still have to go back home, after all."

Qiu Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Once we leave, we are likely to never return. Yet, I still owe you a promise..."

Ye Guan smiled and said, "It\'s okay."

However, Qiu Ling shook his head and opened his palm, revealing a fruit. The fruit was green and was emitting a faint green light.

As soon as it appeared, a delightful fragrance filled the entire world, bringing a sense of tranquility and comfort to everyone.

Clearly, it was an extraordinary fruit.

Qiu Ling handed the fruit over to Ye Guan. "This is yours now."

Gu Ze burst out into laughter and remarked, "You\'re quite generous. To give away a Dao Fruit just like that..."

A glance was enough for Ye Guan to know that the fruit was extraordinary, but he still shook his head and declined politely. "Senior Qiu Ling, I helped you break the seal, and you allowed me to obtain treasures from the tower. We\'re even long ago, so please keep this fruit with you."

"Rest assured, I always keep my word," Qiu Ling said, "I promised to help you out in a fight, and I will never go back on that promise. You\'re clearly an extraordinary individual, so I believe we\'ll meet again someday.

"As for this Dao Fruit, consider it a token of my appreciation, so please accept it."

Ye Guan was about to say something, but Qiu Ling smiled and added, "You\'re a swordsman, after all. Stop beating around the bush."

"Haha." Ye Guan chuckled. "All right, I\'ll take it, then!"

Ye Guan waved his hand, and the Dao Fruit disappeared.

Gu Ze laughed and said, "Kid, a Dao Fruit isn\'t an ordinary fruit. It was bestowed by our high priest to us a long time ago, and it\'s filled with the terrifying power of the Great Dao. Consume it, and your cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. If you use it with the ancient character, the Dao Fruit will become even better."

Ye Guan hurriedly asked, "How do I use them together?"

Gu Ze explained, "It\'s simple. Awaken the ancient character and let it grow into a tree again. Make a hole in that tree and consume this fruit inside of it. The synergistic effect between the two is equivalent to a thousand years of arduous cultivation."

"That\'s not going to happen," Qiu Ling said, shaking his head, "His foundation is extremely solid, so it won\'t be that exaggerated. Of course, it will still be great."

Gu Ze sized up Ye Guan and nodded slightly. "Indeed. Although your cultivation base is low, you have an incredibly strong foundation. Your swordsmanship is particularly strong, which is rare for someone your age. In other words, this fruit will help you greatly, but your cultivation base won\'t increase by leaps and bounds."

"It\'s fine," Ye Guan said, smiling. "Thank you, seniors."

"This has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, thank him," Gu Ze said, glancing at Qiu Ling.

Ye Guan smiled back but didn\'t say anything.

"We\'ll surely meet again someday," Qiu Ling said. He then cupped his fist and disappeared.

Gu Ze was about to leave as well, but he seemed to have thought of something because he stopped in his tracks. Moments later, he turned to face Ye Guan and opened his palm, revealing another Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit flew toward Ye Guan, leaving him astonished.

Gu Ze chuckled and explained, "Don\'t overthink it. I just don\'t want to owe anyone any favors. Back then, you helped me break the seal, so I\'m giving you this fruit. Consider us even now."

With that said, Gu Ze turned around and disappeared into the distant end of the star field.

Ye Guan looked down at the two fruits in his hand and smiled. He then returned to the tiny pagoda.

Meanwhile, Gu Ze and Qiu Ling traversed the void, heading toward the depths of the vast expanse.

Qiu Ling suddenly remarked, "That young man was extraordinary."

"Of course, Captain Obvious," Gu Ze replied indifferently, "If he were just a simple young man, I would kill him and take everything he had."

"The owner of that sword is far stronger than both of us combined," Qiu Ling remarked.

Gu Ze nodded slightly and glanced at Qiu Ling. "Were you trying to establish a good relationship with him?"

Qiu Ling smiled. "Didn\'t you do the same?"

"You\'re not just doing it for yourself; you\'re doing it for the Shui Clan as well."

"As I said, didn\'t you do the same?" Qiu Ling asked back with a smile on his face.

Gu Ze looked up at the vast array of stars and murmured, "We left that sacred character with him. I hope the results are great."

They left that sacred character with Ye Guan and gifted him Dao Fruits for one simple reason—to establish goodwill for the Shui Clan.

Perhaps the Tianxing Civilization would spare other civilizations, but they\'d never spare the Shui Civilization.

The Tianxing Civilization would never stop chasing after the Shui Civilization.

Actually, they weren\'t expecting much. They simply wanted to establish a good relationship with Ye Guan for the Shui Clan\'s sake.

They weren\'t really expecting that goodwill to bear fruit in the future.

Their plan was to cross that bridge once they were there.

"So we\'re going home..." Qiu Ling muttered.

Gu Ze grinned. "Yeah, we\'re going home."

With that, the two picked up the pace and disappeared into the vast expanse.

***

After entering the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan found himself in a large clearing. He placed the brush on the ground and surrounded it with Ancestral Veins.

Ye Guan looked at the brush and said, "Absorb it."

After a moment of silence, the brush trembled. The next moment, a massive amount of spiritual energy surged toward it like a tidal wave.

Ye Guan watched the brush before him in silence.

Ancestral Veins were precious, but becoming even stronger was of paramount significant to him right now. The appearance of the Evil Dao Alliance meant that he was running out of time.

His goal was to reach full divinity, reach the Path Creation Realm, and then return to the True Universe to save Sister Zhen!

The brush quivered as it absorbed the spiritual energy from the Ancestral Veins.

Soon, a sapling appeared in front of Ye Guan, and it was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
