Ye Guchen walked out of his residence. The sky was shining brightly.
But what brought the sunlight was not the sun, but an ancient sword. The name of the sword was [Celestial Emperor]!
After inheriting Ye Guchen's memories, he naturally knew that in this world, there was a list.
The Ancient Sword Records!
The Ancient Sword Records were divided into the Heaven and Earth Lists.
The Heaven Lists recorded 36 divine swords that were born from heaven and earth. They were truly heaven and earth as furnaces, and nature as workmanship. Each sword had the power to overturn the universe and cut off Yin and Yang.
On the other hand, there were seventy-two divine swords recorded on the Earth Board. These divine swords were either forged by Divine Craftsmen or nurtured by Ancient Sword Emperors. Their power might be slightly inferior to the Heaven Board's Famed Swords, but they were definitely rare divine weapons.
The Ancient Sword Records and the Heaven and Earth Lists were the ultimate dream of all sword cultivators!
Ye Guchen raised his head and looked at the Ancient Sword [Celestial Emperor] that hung in the sky.
In the Ancient Sword Records' Heaven Lists, [Celestial Emperor] was ranked 14th.
It could be imagined that to be able to replace the sun and moon, illuminating the earth, it was enough to show the vast power of the Ancient Sword Records.
Unfortunately …
Ye Guchen shook his head. It was too early for him to think about this.
Although there was a rumor in the South Sky Region that if anyone could obtain the [Celestial Emperor] sword, they would be able to sit on the throne of the Celestial Emperor, overlooking all living beings, and become an ancient great emperor.
But so far, no one had been able to do it.
There was no lack of peerless experts who wanted to obtain the [Celestial Emperor], but in the end, without exception, they all died.
But Ye Guchen suspected that the mysterious Thunder Tribulation Sword in his dantian was related to the Ancient Sword Records.
Perhaps only the Ancient Sword Records, and the Heaven Lists' famous sword, had such supreme power that it could bring one's soul into this world.
But this was only Ye Guchen's illusory guess. It was useless for him to think about it now.
Not long after, Ye Guchen arrived at the Xia Family's Spiritual Medicine Hall.
Ordinary herbs were useless to Ye Guchen now. Only Spiritual Medicine could nourish and recover Ye Guchen's declining body.
In front of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, there were many disciples of the Xia Family who had come to purchase Spiritual Medicine.
Within the Xia Family, all kinds of cultivation methods, martial arts, secret techniques, and elixirs could only be exchanged with Contribution Points.
Previously, although Ye Guchen was not a member of the Xia Family, he had been fostered in the Xia Family. Furthermore, Ye Guchen's extraordinary talent had allowed Ye Guchen's life in the Xia Family to be smooth sailing and he was respected by many disciples of the Xia Family.
But now, after being slandered by Xia Yubing and Gu Shaoyang, Ye Guchen's reputation became unbearably bad, and everyone loathed and despised him.
"Eh, it's actually Ye Guchen. That brat actually dares to come out?"
"That's right. He actually dares to walk around in our Xia Family's territory. Does he not know how much our Xia Family hates him?"
"That's right. If it wasn't for his ugly aunt, our Xia family would have kicked him out long ago."
Ye Guchen's expression did not change in the slightest as he faced the whispers of the surrounding Xia Family disciples.
Although he looked like a seventeen-year-old youth, he had experienced the hardships of the world in his heart.
There were many things that he did not care about.
Ye Guchen stepped into the Spiritual Medicine Hall. The attendant at the entrance glanced at Ye Guchen with a trace of astonishment in his eyes, as if he was wondering why Ye Guchen had come here.
But immediately, the astonishment in the attendant's eyes turned into indifference.
Looking at the attendant in front of him, who used to follow him around and flatter him, Ye Guchen shook his head lightly.
He had come to the Spiritual Medicine Hall mainly to find three types of elixirs.
The Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit, the Yang Yuan Grass, and the Connecting Meridian Flower.
The Yang Yuan Grass and the Connecting Meridian Flower were still okay as they were both low grade elixirs. But the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit was a middle grade elixir. Although there was only a difference of one grade, the difference in value was like heaven and earth.
However, according to Ye Guchen's previous memories, there was still a Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit in the Xia Family's Spiritual Medicine Hall.
The Yang Yuan Grass and the Connecting Meridian Flower cost five hundred clan contribution points, while the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit cost one thousand five hundred clan contribution points.
Fortunately, Ye Guchen had previously been a Heaven's Pride and had brought many benefits to the Xia Family. He had even guided a group of Xia Family disciples to participate in various martial arts competitions, treasure hunts and so on, accumulating a large number of contribution points.
Soon, Ye Guchen had found the Yang Yuan Grass and the Connecting Meridian Flower. Finally, Ye Guchen saw the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit on the second floor of the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
Just as Ye Guchen was about to take the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit, another slender hand beat him to it.
Ye Guchen's eyes narrowed as he looked over.
It was a young girl dressed in a bright red slim-fit outfit. Her face was delicate and her body was well developed, her breasts full and perky.
She held the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit in one hand and looked at Ye Guchen playfully.
On the second floor of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, there were also many Xia Family disciples present. When they saw Ye Guchen and the young girl, they all revealed looks of anticipation.
"It's Xia Ying 'er. She actually found fault with Ye Guchen. Didn't she always admire Ye Guchen?"
"Maybe. After all, Ye Guchen was indeed a dragon among men. Many of the young girls in the Xia Family secretly fell in love with him. Fortunately, his disguise was exposed. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have been deceived by him."
Looking at the young girl who had taken the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit, Ye Guchen searched his mind.
Xia Ying 'er.
Among the younger generation of the Xia Family, she was considered to be one of the most talented. She was only sixteen years old and her cultivation was at the third level of the Essence Stage. Moreover, she was a third grade genius.
In the Xia Family, which had a large population and many disciples, there were only three people with such talent.
"What use does this Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit have for you?" Ye Guchen asked indifferently.
Xia Yinger was no stranger to Ye Gu Chen. He had once brought her to the Cloud Valley Mountain Range to hunt for demonic beasts under Xia Yinger's pleas. She had used the demonic cores and bones as materials to forge a sword.
At that time, Xia Ying 'er even called Ye Guchen Big Brother Ye.
As for now …
"Oh, you don't have to worry about what use it has for me. Ye Guchen, don't tell me you want to use this Spiritual Medicine to restore your cultivation?" Xia Ying 'er's eyes flashed with mockery.
"That's right. It's best if you have your cultivation crippled, so that you won't commit any more crimes in the future. If not for Miss Xia Yu Bing being in seclusion to cultivate the North River Sword King's inheritance, she would have personally expelled Ye Guchen from the Xia Family."
Xia Ying 'er's words attracted the agreement of the surrounding Xia Family disciples.
Ye Guchen frowned slightly. It seemed that it was indeed difficult for him to do anything in the Xia Family.
However …
He still had to obtain what he should obtain and fight for what he should fight for.
He still had thousands of contribution points that he had yet to use up, so how could he waste them?
"So, you don't need the Blood Spirit Vermillion Fruit, but … you don't want to give it to me?" Ye Guchen asked.
"So what? What can you do about it?" Xia Ying 'er raised her full breasts and made a provocative look.
"Hmm, she's trying to provoke me. Is she waiting for me to make the first move?" Ye Guchen thought to himself.
In his memories, there was an aunt who took care of him and had a high cultivation. This was also the reason why the Xia Family had never forcefully expelled Ye Guchen.
But on the other hand, if Ye Guchen was the one who initiated the trouble, then the Xia Family would have sufficient reason to expel Ye Guchen.
Xia Ying 'er was merely the fuse that ignited the fire.
But would Ye Guchen back down?
Of course not.
Whether it was the former Sword Demon or the current young Sword Master, neither would.
"Give it to me!"
Ye Guchen dashed towards Xia Ying 'er.
Xia Ying 'er's face lit up, thinking that Ye Guchen had fallen for her trick. She immediately shouted, "Ye Guchen, how dare you attack me first. Fellow Xia Family disciples, be my witnesses. Don't blame me if you're injured or crippled!"
"Of course, how dare he attack Cousin Ying 'er!"
"Yeah, is Ye Guchen stupid? His cultivation is crippled and he's only in the Body Refining Realm. How dare he attack Ying 'er, who is an expert in the Essence Realm?"
Body Refining Realm was to temper the body's blood and Qi, while Essence Realm was to condense the blood and Qi into Essence Realm. Whether it was strength, speed, or reflexes, it far exceeded the Body Refining Realm in every aspect.
Every realm was like a mountain. This saying was true.
Xia Ying 'er tapped her feet lightly. Not only did she not retreat, she instead charged towards Ye Guchen.
If it was before, she would not have the guts to attack Ye Guchen even if she was threatened with a knife. However, it was different now. Ye Guchen's cultivation had fallen to the Body Refining Realm. In Xia Ying 'er's eyes, he was no longer a threat.
Xia Ying 'er pointed her finger forward. Her Essence Realm condensed in her finger, producing a whooshing sound.
The Xia Family's middle level Postnatal finger technique, Wind Spirit Finger.
If a Qi Refining Realm Grandmaster used it, it would produce a strong gust of wind.
However, even if Xia Ying 'er was only in the Essence Realm, her Wind Spirit Finger was still impressive.
Just as the spectating Xia Family disciples were waiting for Ye Guchen to be severely injured by the Wind Spirit Finger, Ye Guchen's figure suddenly changed.
His footsteps were like a weeping willow swaying with the wind. When the Wind Spirit Finger was only a few inches away from Ye Guchen's chest, Ye Guchen's figure swayed like a willow and dodged it.
"What kind of movement technique is that?!"
Xia Ying 'er was surprised. She was familiar with Ye Guchen, but she had never seen Ye Guchen use such a movement technique before.
Xia Ying 'er naturally did not know that this was not the Xia Family's movement technique, nor was it Ye Guchen's original movement technique. It was a movement technique from Sword Demon Dugu Wubai's previous life, Willow Catkin Wind!
In his previous life, Dugu Wubai had not only mastered the Way of the Sword, but also the Way of the Sword.
Willow Catkin Wind movement technique was just one of the many movement techniques he had.
After dodging Xia Ying 'er's Wind Spirit Finger, Ye Guchen's figure flashed and he pointed out with two fingers.
It was a martial technique from his previous life, Sharp Spirit Finger!
Xia Ying 'er's Wind Spirit Finger was instantly suppressed by the Sharp Spirit Finger.
"Not good!"
Ye Guchen's grasp of the situation was too terrifying. From dodging the Wind Spirit Finger to using the Sharp Spirit Finger, it only took a breath.
However, Xia Ying 'er was an expert of the Essence Realm. Her delicate body trembled and a violent force spread out, directly pushing Ye Guchen away. Then, the Origin Ring on her finger flashed and a fiery-red sword pierced towards Ye Guchen.
"Is this the strength of the Essence Realm?"
Ye Guchen was pushed back by the attack. The blood and Qi in his body churned, but the scarlet sword had already arrived.
Ye Guchen vaguely remembered that Xia Ying 'er had begged him to kill a Fire Cloud Spiritual Fox and use its Demon Core to forge the Fire Cloud Sword.
He had never thought that the sword that he had forged for her would be used to kill him.
How ironic!
Even Ye Guchen would not be able to do as he pleased with the cultivation of the Profound Origin Realm and the Fire Cloud Sword, a low-grade spiritual weapon.
He wiped the Origin Ring on his finger and a sharp sword full of cracks appeared out of thin air.
It was Ye Guchen's sword, the High Level Spiritual Weapon, the Soaring Cloud Sword.
Unfortunately, the Soaring Cloud Sword was seriously damaged in the fight with Gu Shaoyang and was almost scrapped.
Ye Guchen did not have time to get a new sword, so he could only use it for the time being.
With the sword in his hand, Ye Guchen seemed to have changed. His thin and weak body seemed to have become tall and strong in an instant.
"Ye Guchen …" The disciples of the Xia Family were surprised. At the same time, they sighed in their hearts. He was indeed worthy of the title of Sword Master. Even though his halo had fallen, he still had such power.
"Hmph, pretending. I'm not afraid of you!" Xia Ying 'er's heart was beating like a drum, but she was still very tough on the surface.
Her Fire Cloud Sword broke through the air and turned into ten sword shadows, like a cloud of fire.
It was one of the three Xiantian Sword Arts of the Xia Family, the Thousand Shadows Sword Art.
"Let's test the sword arts of this world first," Ye Guchen thought to himself. He also attacked with the Soaring Cloud Sword in his hand.
The Soaring Cloud Sword in his hand suddenly turned and stabbed out. The sharp Qi cut through the air and made a sharp whistle.
It was not a Xiantian sword art, nor was it an acquired sword art. It was the most ordinary and ungraded Piercing Moon Sword Art.
"Haha, I thought he was going to use some ultimate move. It's just the Piercing Moon Sword Art!"
Not only did Xia Ying 'er show disdain, but the disciples of the Xia Family also shook their heads and laughed.
The difference in power between an ungraded sword art and an ungraded sword art was too big.
Not to mention the difference between the Body Refining Realm and the Essence Realm.
This kind of collision was no surprise to the onlookers.
Clang!
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, a figure fell back heavily and spat out a mouthful of blood. As expected, it was Ye Guchen.
"Ha, as expected, the former Sword Sect's Ye Guchen was defeated by Miss Ying 'er." The surrounding onlookers laughed and said.
Ye Guchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand and smiled faintly.
"Ah … Ye Guchen, I'm going to kill you!" Xia Ying 'er screamed shrilly, piercing the eardrums of the onlookers.
"Cousin Xia Ying 'er, what's wrong?" The onlookers looked over and their gazes froze.
