I Have a Sword

When Ye Guan and Yi Nian emerged from the spacetime tunnel, they found themselves on an island.

Looking around, they saw towering mountains that pierced the sky like sharp swords. The mountains were bizarre; sometimes, they'd be there only to vanish in the blink of an eye.

Ye Guan, intrigued by the scene, asked, "Where are we?"

"This is the Tianxing Sea." Yi Nian replied.

Ye Guan turned to Yi Nian. "The Tianxing Sea?"

Yi Nian smiled. "Yes, we haven't actually left the Tianxing Divine World. My teacher is smart. She knows that the most dangerous place is often the safest place out there."

Ye Guan smiled. "Indeed."

The High Goddess Tianyun was incredibly wise. If they had left the Tianxing Civilization and had gone elsewhere, the Tianxing Civilization wouldn't find it hard to find them. Thus, staying in the most dangerous place was the safest option.

The Tianxing Civilization would never expect that they hadn't left at all!

"Follow me," said Yi Nian. She grabbed Ye Guan's hand, and they leaped into the air, landing on a sharp mountain peak. They looked into the distance, where mountains seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see.

Yi Nian said, "Teacher used to cultivate here. Only she and a few of us core disciples can come here. Since my teacher brought us here, she likely wants you to cultivate here. There's a special cultivation grounds nearby. Let's go!"

With that, Yi Nian pulled Ye Guan's hand, and they flew across numerous peaks, eventually arriving on another island.

Clearly familiar with the place, Yi Nian introduced it to Ye Guan.

"Look, that hot spring over there is where Jing An and I used to bathe. She always liked to touch me, and I liked to touch her. Hers is perky and elastic, though smaller than our teacher's. Our teacher's—they feel great!"

Ye Guan was speechless.

Yi Nian seemed to love this place, as even a simple rock inspired her to tell a story.

She talked the most about Jing An and High Goddess Tianyun.

Son, they found a cave. It was a natural karst cave, with countless crystals hanging from the ceiling like stalactites. The walls were embedded with colorful, mysterious crystals, creating a dazzling and majestic sight.

To Ye Guan's shock, he discovered that the crystals were Eternal Crystals! There were tens of thousands of Eternal Crystals embedded in the walls, and the cave was pretty expansive.

No wonder the spiritual energy here was dozens of times more concentrated than outside. In a place like this, even a pig could become immortal.

Yi Nian led Ye Guan deeper into the cave, and they soon arrived in a spacious area. There was a small tree not far ahead, and it was about ten feet tall. It had a purple-blue trunk and leaves as translucent as jade.

Purple-blue mist swirled around it as well.

Upon seeing the tree, Ye Guan's expression became serious. The spiritual energy around the tree was at least ten thousand times more concentrated than in other areas!

Yi Nian muttered, "You're staring at the Tianxing Life Tree."

Ye Guan looked at her. "Is that the tree that bears those fruits?"

Yi Nian smiled. "It's just a branch from the real Tianxing Life Tree. Many years ago, the Tianxing Ruler rewarded my teacher with that branch due to her great contributions to the Tianxing Civilization.

"My teacher has been nurturing it for hundreds of thousands of years, and it has finally grown into this small tree."

Hundreds of thousands of years! Ye Guan was shocked. No wonder the cave was filled with Eternal Crystals—they were all used to cultivate this branch of the Tianxing Life Tree.

Yi Nian suddenly said, "Let's move it into your pagoda"

"What?" Ye Guan was taken aback.

Yi Nian smiled. "We'll put it in the pagoda to cultivate it even further. After we're done using it, we can get a bigger one for my teacher."

Ye Guan hesitated and asked, "Is that okay?"

Yi Nian nodded. "Of course. We're just moving it to a different place; we're not claiming it for ourselves."

After pondering over it for a brief moment, Ye Guan agreed. "That makes sense."

With a wave of his sleeve, the entire cave was transported into his tiny pagoda.

Looking around the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan was shocked to see the Tianxing Life Tree trembling violently. The next moment, the Immortal Dao trees on the island trembled as well, and the Dao Fruits on them fell, transforming into beams of light that were absorbed by the Tianxing Life Tree.

Ye Guan was stunned. That three just devoured hundreds of Dao Fruits!

Yi Nian was also surprised.

The Tianxing Life Tree trembled and grew dozens of inches taller.

Ye Guan and Yi Nian exchanged glances.

"What's going to happen if it keeps growing?" asked Ye Guan.

Yi Nian thought for a moment. "It will likely bear a fruit."

Ye Guan blinked. "A fruit… that gives birth?"

Yi Nian nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan was speechless. I raise you, and you give me a fruit with a child inside. Isn't that kind of absurd?

"Actually, it can bear two kinds of fruit. One has a child inside, and the other can be eaten."

Ye Guan looked at her. "It can be eaten?"

Yi Nian nodded. "Yes, it's just like eggs—some are for hatching chicks, and others are to be eaten."

Ye Guan smiled at that and asked, "What happens if you eat the edible kind?"

"You'll get a mouthful of its decadent sweetness. It's like candied hawthorn."

Ye Guan's face turned black. "I meant, does it boost your power?"

"Hahaha." Yi Nian giggled. "Of course, it boosts your power by about one era."

"One era?" Ye Guan was astonished. "Ten million years?!"

Yi Nian nodded.

Ye Guan was deeply moved. Ten million years of cultivation!

One fruit could make him so strong that he'd be able to crush both his father and grandfather!

Yi Nian added, "But it's extremely rare. I once ate one with Jing An, but that was many years ago. Even my teacher will find it hard to obtain such a fruit."

Yi Nian pulled out a candied hawthorn and licked it, adding, "It actually tastes like candied hawthorn."

Hearing that, Ye Guan finally understood why Yi Nian and Jing An loved candied hawthorn!

A candied hawthorn tasted the same as that fruit—sour and sweet!

Yi Nian gazed at the Tianxing Life Tree with eager anticipation. "I really hope we get to try it again."

Ye Guan gently patted Yi Nian's head and softly said, "I'll take care of this tree, and if it bears edible fruit, I'll give it all to you."

"Deal," said Yi Nian with shining eyes. Then, she added, "Let's share it with Jing An and with our teacher, too."

Ye Guan smiled. "Sure."

Just then, Yi Nian recalled something and handed Ye Guan a crystal-clear box.

"Here, take this."

Ye Guan was curious. "What is it?"

"It's a treasure I borrowed from my teacher. It's called the Spacetime Reincarnation Box," Yi Nian said and explained, "Cultivate inside it, and you can experience hundreds of lifetimes to temper your Dao heart. It also contains my teacher's insights; her insights will surely be helpful to you."

Yi Nian also handed over a scroll and said with a sweet smile. "This scroll contains my own theories about the pagoda's spacetime. Learn it, and you'll be able to sever thirty million years' worth of lifespan with the Qingxuan Sword.

"I was going to research it further, but it has gotten quite difficult now. I can still manage it, though, so it's fine."

Just then, Ye Guan grabbed Yi Nian's hand and said, "Thank you."

Yi Nian smiled gently. "No need to thank me. Couples should always help each other, right?"

Ye Guan laughed heartily, ruffling Yi Nian's hair. "Let's roast lamb!"

Yi Nian's eyes lit up, and she nodded enthusiastically at that.

Ye Guan smiled and began roasting a lamb.

Watching Yi Nian drool in anticipation, Ye Guan felt warm in his heart.

Whether it was Yi Nian or Jing An, they were both simple girls with simple desires.

Soon, the lamb was ready.

Ye Guan sat with Yi Nian and ate. Then, he realized that his roasting skills had improved yet again. Maybe I'll open a roasted lamb shop in the Milky Way someday…

The thought made Ye Guan chuckle. He looked at Yi Nian and wiped away the oil on her mouth. "One day, I'll take you to a place called the Milky Way. It is a place full of delicacies and delights."

Yi Nian blinked. "Like what?"

Ye Guan thought for a moment and replied, "Now that I think about it. Pork is pretty tasty, too."

A distant pig felt a shiver run down its spine.

Yi Nian was intrigued. "Pork?"

"Hahaha." Ye Guan laughed. "I'll give you a taste of it by then."

Yi Nian nodded eagerly. "Okay!"

Once they were done eating, Ye Guan took out the Spacetime Reincarnation Box and asked, "How do I use this?"

Yi Nian pointed to a button on the box.

Ye Guan pressed it, and a beam of purple light engulfed Ye Guan, whisking him away.

Yi Nian held the box and walked over to the Tianxing Life Tree, placing it on the tree. The Tianxing Life Tree's spiritual energy immediately flowed into the box.

Yi Nian laid it down in front of the tree. She sat down with her chin resting in her hands. She looked absentmindedly at the Spacetime Reincarnation Box and whispered, "Master Pagoda, I want to have a child with Ye Guan. Can you help us raise the child?"

Little Pagoda had no idea what to say.
