I Have A Sword

Chapter 677: Sword Intent Spirit

Inside the Black Death Realm, Ye Guan was furiously swinging his Intent Sword. With the activation of his two bloodlines and the fusion from Ao Qianqian, the power of his sword had reached a terrifying level. Each slash could tear the surrounding space apart, and in the blink of an eye, the space around him was riddled with countless white lights from the tears.

However, these rifts would quickly mend themselves, as if they had never been broken. Despite this, Ye Guan did not give up. He continued slashing for an entire day and night but still failed to completely shatter the space.

Realizing that he was becoming increasingly irritable, likely exacerbated by his Mad Demon Bloodline, Ye Guan forced himself to stop. The irritation he felt was growing stronger, causing him to gradually lose his rationality.

As he stopped, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence once more. Ye Guan sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. The power of his bloodlines surged around him, creating a fearsome aura. After a long while, the Mad Demon Bloodline power gradually calmed.

A considerable amount of time passed before Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were now completely restored to normal. He glanced around and shook his head with a smile. He hadn't expected this place to be so formidable. Even with all his trump cards, he couldn't overcome it.

Am I going to be trapped here forever?

Ye Guan frowned deeply.

Ao Qianqian suddenly suggested, "Try your Sword Domain."

His Sword Domain. Ye Guan was silent for a moment before nodding, "Alright."

He closed his eyes again, and his Sword Domain materialized around him. However, in the next instant, it was as if he had been struck by a heavy blow and forced to retreat repeatedly, blood spurting from his mouth.

Ye Guan was shocked.

Ao Qianqian quickly asked, "What happened?"

Ye Guan replied solemnly, "My Sword Domain shattered as soon as it appeared."

Ao Qianqian was puzzled, "Why did that happen?"

Ye Guan looked around and said, "This place must also be a domain, and my domain is not as powerful as theirs. Hence, it shattered as soon as I activated it."

He then slowly extended his right hand to sense the surroundings. Very soon, he realized this entire place was a Domain. He was in someone's Domain.

Who does this belong to? It is so powerful.

Ye Guan's face darkened. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful domain. This domain left him feeling helpless, and he knew that this was without the other party even making a move. If the other party did take action, he would be utterly defeated. Their strength far exceeded his.

With this realization, Ye Guan glanced around, a complex expression in his eyes. At this moment, he truly felt helpless and powerless because he knew that this domain was absolutely beyond his ability to break. Moreover, if his opponent made a move, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Though unwilling to accept it, this was the reality. Most of the time, no matter how hard you try, you can't achieve certain things. Reality is harsh and even if you give your all, you might end up with nothing.

Ye Guan suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, I'm not your match. I concede."

As soon as his voice fell, the Invincible Sword Intent within him suddenly surged out. These Sword Intents slowly floated outward.

Transformation of Sword Intent.

These Sword Intents floated outward like a tide, and in an instant, the surroundings became a sea of boiling Sword Intent. The intents were like tides.

Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. Gradually, those Sword Intents began to transform into swords, attacking all around.

Sword Intent Spirit!

In terms of realm, this was the Divine Dao Realm, meaning his Sword Intent had gained its own divinity...

In a certain part of the starry sky, two people were observing Ye Guan in the darkness.

They were the Sword Master and the Plain Skirt Lady.

The Sword Master stared at Ye Guan and softly said, "Divinity..."

The Plain Skirt Lady remained silent and did not intervene.

Without experiencing divinity, how can one understand humanity?

True humanity is being able to maintain one's human nature, one's true self, even after achieving divinity.

Without experiencing divinity, the so-called humanity is meaningless.

I once reached the pinnacle, but I willingly returned to the ordinary, not because I could only be ordinary, but because I chose to be.

The reason why First God once sought to achieve complete divinity was this: only by fully entering divinity and then returning to humanity could one be considered successful.

Unfortunately, he failed.

The Plain Skirt Lady stared at Ye Guan. Her face was expressionless but there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

She understood these principles.

However, Ye Guan might not understand them.

At this moment, it was necessary for Ye Guan to comprehend them on his own, to awaken by himself.

Only what you realize by yourself truly belongs to you.

...

Divinity!

When Ye Guan realized that his Sword Intent had actually developed divinity, he was stunned. This was unacceptable! He knew he could not cultivate divinity. He began to suppress his Sword Intent, but as soon as he tried, he felt it resisting him.

Resistance? Ye Guan was completely dumbfounded. What is going on? His Invincible Sword Intent had never resisted him before but now it was.

At first, Ye Guan was furious. How dare you resist me? It was like his son starting to rebel against him. Just as Ye Guan was about to forcibly suppress it, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

What right did he have to suppress his Sword Intent?

The Sword Intent was indeed like his own son. At this moment, it was like a son expressing his thoughts. When children grow up, they naturally have their own ideas. They can't live entirely according to their parents' wishes. With this realization, Ye Guan fell silent for a long time, then tried to communicate with the Invincible Sword Intent. Seeing that Ye Guan was no longer forcibly suppressing it, the Invincible Sword Intent gradually calmed down, then circled around him, as if trying to convey something.

After a long while, Ye Guan fell into deep thought. The Invincible Sword Intent was very happy! It liked this new feeling. After gaining divinity, it was no longer just Sword Intent. It had its own intelligence, almost like a new life. It did not need to rely completely on Ye Guan! Of course, it was born from Ye Guan's will and heart. Even if its realm was now higher than Ye Guan's, he could destroy it anytime he wanted. Without Ye Guan, there would be no Invincible Sword Intent. If Ye Guan's resolve crumbled, the Invincible Sword Intent would vanish instantly.

After communicating for a long time, Ye Guan softly said, "Divinity it is then...even after gaining divinity, I believe I will still be myself."

Upon receiving Ye Guan's approval, the Invincible Sword Intent suddenly sent beams of sword light skyward. In an instant, the surrounding space was torn apart, and countless beams of white light emerged.

Another breakthrough!

In the starry sky, an imperceptible smile appeared on the face of the Plain Skirt Lady. If Ye Guan had forcibly suppressed it, the Invincible Sword Intent wouldn't have caused much trouble, but Ye Guan would have taken many detours.

Humanity?

That's right. His goal was to pursue humanity but without experiencing divinity, humanity was meaningless.

At this moment, Ye Guan might not fully understand the principles, but he firmly believed that even if he gained divinity, he could still remain true to himself. His resolve grew stronger, which was also why his Sword Intent's power increased once more.

In the Black Death Realm, feeling the surging Invincible Sword Intent around him, Ye Guan's face showed a hint of a smile. At this moment, he finally understood why so many people pursued divinity—because divinity was so powerful! The Invincible Sword Intent had undergone a qualitative transformation, incomparable to before. The feeling of growing stronger was exhilarating, even for him.

"Congratulations."

A mysterious voice suddenly echoed in the area. Following this voice, a beam of white light descended in front of Ye Guan. Inside the white light was a door, and within the door sat a lady. She was dressed in a black robe, her long white hair draped over her shoulders, and her hands hidden within wide sleeves. At this moment, the lady was staring at him.

Ye Guan knew that the domain around him belonged to this lady. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Senior."

The lady looked at Ye Guan, "Your Sword Intent has reached the Divine Dao Realm. Why do you suppress it?"

Ye Guan thought for a moment, then replied, "The elders in my family have always told me that I should walk the path of humanity, not divinity."

The lady was silent for a long time, then asked, "What is the realm of your family elders?"

Ye Guan hesitated, then said, "They claim not to cultivate any realm."

The lady's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "They are creating their own path."

Ye Guan was puzzled, "What does it mean to create one's own path?"

The lady looked at Ye Guan, "It means having one's own way and cultivating oneself."

Ye Guan asked, "Hundred percent divinity?"

The lady chuckled and shook her head.

Ye Guan was confused.

The lady suddenly extended her finger and pointed at her own head, "Self, do you understand?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said, "By cultivating both divinity and humanity, I'm actually following others' paths, right?"

The lady was somewhat surprised by Ye Guan's insight.

Ye Guan continued, "But the elders in my family have said that no one has ever truly cultivated humanity."

The lady said, "Someone has tried, but no one has succeeded."

Ye Guan blinked, "Is it very difficult?"

The lady looked at Ye Guan, "Here's a simple example. Many people know something is wrong, yet they can't help but do it."

Ye Guan asked, "For instance?"

The lady calmly said, "For instance, self-indulgence."

Ye Guan was stunned.

The lady continued calmly, "Many ordinary people know that certain actions are wrong, but they can't help themselves because it feels good. If someone can restrain themselves, they essentially conquer their own divinity and return to humanity..."

She paused, looking at Ye Guan, "But very few people can achieve this. Do you think you..."

Ye Guan quickly interjected, "I don't do such things. Master Pagoda can vouch for me."

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.
