"A-Attack!" The Elders eventually snapped out of it and shouted before rushing at Yuan.

When the disciples saw the Elders moving, they had no choice but to follow.

Thus, everyone from the Seven Profound Swords began attacking Yuan, who merely shook his head in silence.

[God of War's Astral Art]

A large figure wielding a massive blade appeared behind Yuan, and despite it being larger than before, it wasn't even at half of its full strength.

"W-What kind of technique is that?!" The disciples screamed in horror as they hastily halted their movements.

However, they were already in attack range, so all Yuan had to do was swing his sword.

"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Yuan exclaimed as he swung his sword.

A powerful force that seemed to be strong enough to sweep away even mountains clashed against the disciples, and without any resistance, the Seven Profound Swords' disciples were sent flying like swatted flies.

In a single attack, over half of their disciples were gone.

This shook the cores of those watching.

Yuan turned to look at his avatar and mumbled, "Even 20 percent is still a little too strong, huh…"

His soul strength has grown so much in such a short amount of time that he was having trouble controlling it.

After devastating the Seven Profound Swords, Yuan spoke again, "If you wish to continue, attack me again. However, I will make sure that none of you survive the next strike."

The disciples that survived the attack trembled on the spot, and their already lacking motivation disappeared completely.

The Elders from the Li Family and the Gu Family exchanged glances with each other.

After a moment of silence, they approached Yuan and gave him a courteous bow.

"Junior, do you happen to be someone from 'up there'?" The Li Family's elder asked him with a nervous face.

Yuan smiled inwardly when he realized that they had mistaken him as someone who came from the upper heavens under the Celestial Emperor's request.

Though, one cannot blame them for making this mistake, as it would only make sense for someone as young as Yuan to utterly destroy the Seven Profound Swords without any effort.

"What are you going to do if I am from 'up there'?" Yuan asked them without the slightest change to his expression.

"Forgive us for not recognizing your identity sooner, Young Master. The Gu Family will no longer participate in this event. If you wish, we can even assist you in securing the treasure." The Gu Family's Elder bowed to him again.

"You think the Young Master needs your help? What an unnecessary offer. He can secure the treasure by himself." The Li Family's Elder sneered.

The Gu Family's Elder gritted his teeth after hearing such words. The two families were never on good terms in the beginning, so this kind of bickering happens often.

Meanwhile, the other people there were amazed to see how quickly the Li Family and Gu Family changed their attitude.

"Just what is that person's identity for the Seven Legacy Families to be so respectful towards him?"

"Does 'up there' mean he's from the upper heavens? Why would someone like that be down here?"

"Although it's not common nowadays, people from the upper heavens used to come down here regularly solely to explore the Nameless Emperor's Tomb."

"Look at his uniform. Isn't that the Jade Sword Manor's uniform for esteemed guests?"

Tian Yanyu and Tian Suyin were left speechless after hearing the peoples' conversation. They had their suspicions that Yuan was someone from the upper heavens due to his unfathomable talent and strength, but this only made things more confusing for them.

Why would someone from the upper heavens help them to such an extent? Does his ancestor really owe their ancestor a debt, or is he helping them for a different reason?

'Regardless of his reasons, I'm glad he's on our side…' Tian Yanyu sighed inwardly, as she cannot imagine having someone like Yuan as an enemy.

When the Li Family and the Gu Family stepped back, nobody else dared to approach Yuan. As for Huang Lee, who'd barely managed to survive the attack, snuck away with his disciples in the midst of the commotion.

While he waited for the treasure to unseal itself, Yuan sat on the stage and closed his eyes.

"He's cultivating out in the open like this? Is he bold or insane? Even if he's powerful, to act so defenseless before so many people… What a mad lad."

"Arrogant bastard…"

Despite Yuan cultivating out in the open, nobody there actually dared to attack him.

About two hours later, news of another treasure appearing not far away began spreading, and those at Yuan's location immediately scrambled to the new location for obvious reasons.

Shortly after the news reached their location, everyone including the Jade Sword Manor left the scene, leaving Yuan alone with the treasure, which is unheard of within the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.

"Why didn't you leave with your sect?" Yuan stopped his cultivation to ask Tian Yanyu, who'd stayed behind even after her sect left to fight for the next treasure.

"I just didn't want to leave you alone." She calmly said.

"How about you?" Yuan turned to look at Tian Suyin, who also stayed behind for whatever reason.

"You think I'm going to leave my daughter alone with someone as suspicious as you?" She sneered.

Yuan merely smiled at her remarks.

"By the way, can I ask you a question?" Tian Yanyu suddenly asked.

"Sure."

"Are you really from… 'up there'?" She asked him with a somewhat nervous expression.

"You mean the upper heavens? Nope."

"What?! But you…"

"I know. I lied." He shrugged.

Tian Yanyu was speechless.

"I'm glad they didn't question you further…"

Suddenly, the treasure in the air began pulsating with powerful ripples.

"Does this mean it's unsealing?" Yuan asked.

"Yes."

The very next moment, the barrier protecting the sword shattered, and the sword began descending towards the ground.

However, Yuan didn't move even after the sword was lying on the ground.

"What are you waiting for?" Tian Suyin asked him with raised eyebrows.

"I have no use for it. You can have it," he calmly said, causing her eyes to widen with shock.
