Chapter 368: Be Humble

Was he about to lose?

Ye Guan wasn’t sure, but he knew that losing meant more than just giving up the Dao Imprint. It also meant that he would have another powerful enemy—the entire Supreme Sword Sect!

Six Great Destiny Sovereigns were already standing around the white-haired old man. Furthermore, the white-haired old man was emitting energy fluctuations stronger than most Great Destiny Sovereigns.

In other words, the Supreme Sword Sect had to be on par with the Eternal Civilization.

More and more formidable swordsmen gathered around the white-haired old man. Seven Great Destiny Sovereigns arrived, and there were more than twenty Ordinary Great Sovereigns. The weakest among them were Divine Sovereigns!

One had to be a Divine Sovereign at the very least to withstand being sealed for millions of years. Soon, more than a thousand Divine Sovereigns arrived, and they were all swordsmen.

The white-haired old man smiled at Ye Guan and opened his palm.

The Dao Imprint returned to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan grinned. I won!

The white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. He smiled and asked, "Young friend, were you not afraid that I'll steal your Dao Imprint?"

Ye Guan laughed and said, "Senior, you're not that kind of person." L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

The white-haired old man looked at Ye Guan and asked, "How can you be so sure?"

Ye Guan replied, "You would rather die than submit, so how can someone like you do something so disgraceful?"

"Hahaha!" the white-haired old man laughed heartily and said, "Young friend, it is truly unfortunate that you've already chosen your Sword Dao. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking you in as my direct disciple and letting you become the Sect Master of the Supreme Sword Sect."

Ye Guan smiled without saying anything.

The white-haired old man opened his palm, and an ancient scroll floated over to Ye Guan. "Young friend, this scroll contains the core sword art inheritance of my sect. I hope it will be of help to your swordsmanship."

He could tell that Ye Guan wanted the sword art inheritance not because he wanted to become the Sect Master of the Supreme Sword Sect. He simply wanted to learn its complexities and hopefully integrate it into his own swordsmanship.

Ye Guan put the ancient scroll away and cupped his fist. "Thank you, senior."

The white-haired old man was truly impressed, but he also found it a pity. He was pleasantly surprised to see such a talented young man, but it was a pity that the young man had already found his Sword Dao.

From his years of experience, a swordsman finding their own Sword Dao at a young age usually meant that the swordsman in question already had a master. In Ye Guan's case, he definitely had a master and a strong one at that.

"I'm taking my leave, then, Senior," Ye Guan said with a cupped fist.

"Wait!" The white-haired old man opened his palm once again. A sword case flew out from a distant hall and landed gently in the white-haired old man's hand. He handed the sword case to Ye Guan and said, "It's yours, young friend."

Ye Guan observed the sword case. The sword case's color seemed as dark as the abyss, and it was covered in countless tiny, inscrutable runes. Every single stroke that made up the runes exuded a dim golden glow that squirmed as though it was alive.

Two tiny characters were inscribed on the sword case—Divine Evil.

"Senior?" Ye Guan said, sounding dumbfounded.

The white-haired old man laughed heartily and said, "You don't have to be so formal to me. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Big Brother!"

Big Brother! Ye Guan was stunned, and he wasn't the only one. The Supreme Sword Sect elites were surprised as well.

The old man's eyes flashed coldly as he muttered, "He's related to the Great Daoist Brush Master—"

"Fool!" Nan Yuntian roared. He swept his gaze across the Great Destiny Sovereigns in front of him and saw that everyone's expression had turned cold. He glared at them and continued. "Let’s ignore the possibility that he's related to the Great Daoist Brush Master, but does it really matter if he is a relative of the Great Daoist Brush Master?

"Are we going to kill him because of something he couldn't control, or are we going to kill the Great Daoist Brush Master himself?"

Everyone didn't speak.

Nan Yuntian sighed and said, "Even when we were at our peak, we were too weak to fight against the Great Daoist Brush Master. How do you think we would fare against him right now?"

Everyone was gloomy at the harsh reality. The Supreme Sword Sect truly believed that they could go toe-to-toe with the master of the Great Dao Brush and went all out against him. However, reality was cruel to them.

Nan Yuntian continued. "I suggest we stay humble even if he's a relative of the Great Daoist Brush Master. We are too weak to act arrogantly. Fortunately, he doesn't have any trace of the Divine Dao Destiny Aura on him, so I don't think he's related to the Great Daoist Brush Master.

"However, it is indeed intriguing how he has the Dao Imprint, even though he has no traces of Divine Dao Destiny Aura."

Just then, a middle-aged man next to him said, "His identity isn't so simple. The two people next to him just now were strong enough to make me feel a sense of crisis. In addition, the white-furred animal we saw earlier was a Spirit Progenitor."

A Spirit Progenitor?!

Everyone’s expression changed. A Spirit Progenitor was extremely rare, and they were highly sought after regardless of the era.

Nan Yuntian nodded. His expression was complicated as he swept his gaze across the members of the Supreme Sword Sect standing in front of him. "The times have changed! Our sect can have our pride and confidence, but we must be smart. I know what you're thinking. I'm sure you feel proud now that you've been unsealed.

"Without the Great Daoist Brush Master, you must be thinking that you're impossible to beat, right?"

The crowd was quiet, but Nan Yuntian's words had hit the mark.

During the era of the Divine Dao Civilization, they were among the most formidable powerhouses. Now that they had broken free from the seal and the Great Daoist Brush Master was no more, who was strong enough to defeat them?

Nan Yuntian sneered at them and said, "Why did the Supreme Sword Sect meet that disaster back then? It was because of our arrogance. Our arrogance made us lose sight of ourselves. It has been millions of years since then, but we're still going to meet the same disaster if we remain arrogant."

With that, he turned to look at the depths of the starry sky and muttered, "Every generation is full of talents, and I don't want you to underestimate the people of this era. Right now, we have to develop quietly and steadily, all the while building great connections with decent people."

The middle-aged man nodded lightly and said, "Sect Master's words are wise. Do you have high expectations for that young man?"

"The young man's background must be extraordinary, and in addition to his monstrous strength and heaven-defying talent, he's also smart with exceedingly high comprehension." Nan Yuntian smiled and said, "He's also courageous to the extent that he even dared to gamble with that Dao Imprint. He's far from ordinary, and it is our sect's great fortune to have established friendly ties with him!"

"Are we gambling as well?" the middle-aged man asked.

Nan Yuntian nodded and explained, "The Supreme Sword Sect has just been unsealed, and our foundations aren't exactly stable just yet. To ensure stable development, we need allies. I like the young man's character, and I'm willing to form a good relationship with him. As for that Eternal Sovereign..."

Nan Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "He was acting like was superior to us from the very beginning as if he was bestowing favors upon us. I will not pledge allegiance to him even if it means getting sealed once again."

The elites of the Supreme Sword Sect nodded one after another.

Their opinion of Ye Guan was incomparably better compared to their opinion of the Eternal Sovereign.

Ye Guan truly respected the Supreme Sword Sect.

He had unsealed them without asking for their subservience in return. He was a good person!

"From now on..." Nan Yuntian trailed off. He swept his gaze across the elites of the Supreme Sword Sect and said, "Don't allow our disciples to leave the sect in the meantime. You must restrain them and prevent them from causing trouble outside. We've just broken the seal on the sect, so we're unfamiliar with this era. A slight mistake can lead to a great disaster.

"Restrain them well! Everyone should keep a low profile as well and be humble!"

Everyone nodded in understanding. They had already made a grave mistake, and if they refused to learn from their mistake, then it meant that they deserved the disaster that had befallen them.
