Chapter 67

Countless Fang families!

The small tower suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect Fang Yu's descendants to be so outstanding."

Hearing this, Ye Tianming was startled, "Ancestor Tower, do you know the ancestor of the Fang family?"

The small tower replied calmly, "He was fortunate enough to receive my guidance twice in the past."

Ye Tianming: "......."

At this moment, Fang Qian suddenly stepped forward, tiptoed, and gently patted Ye Tianming's shoulder, saying earnestly, "The Guanxuan Sword Master once told our ancestor not to let the younger generation lose hope. Ye Tianming, I can see at a glance that you have a great future ahead. Work hard, and the future of the young in this universe will depend on you."

After saying this, she turned and left gracefully.

Ye Tianming: "......."

Nanling Zhao smiled, "This Miss Qian is truly a remarkable person."

Ye Tianming nodded, and the two continued forward. Soon, they arrived at a courtyard. Fang Xiao was lying on a chair, holding a wine flask, humming an unknown tune, looking very comfortable.

Ye Tianming bowed respectfully.

At this moment, Fang Xiao turned to look at Nanling Zhao and Ye Tianming, smiling, "Feel free to sit down."

Neither of them sat down.

Fang Xiao said again, "Don't be so formal; there are no such strict rules here."

Only then did the two sit down beside him.

Fang Xiao looked at Ye Tianming, "Dharma Phase Realm?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes."

Fang Xiao smiled, "Was Xiao Bei killed by you?"

Ye Tianming nodded again.

Fang Xiao laughed, "Good job."

As he spoke, he took a big gulp of wine.

Ye Tianming said, "Senior, I know you did it for justice in this world, but I still want to thank you."

If it weren't for his help that day, he wouldn't have survived until now.

Fang Xiao shook his head, "Ye Tianming, do you really think you are just an ordinary person?"

Ye Tianming was a bit puzzled.

Fang Xiao smiled but didn't say anything more.

After leaving the Fang residence, Ye Tianming turned to look at it, seeing the cold and quiet Fang family mansion. He said softly, "The Fang family shouldn't be treated like this."

After saying this, he turned and left.

After parting ways with Nanling Zhao, Ye Tianming returned to his room. He extended his right hand out the window and slowly closed his eyes. Soon, he felt an endless amount of 'Dark Dharma.' He activated his cultivation technique, and countless 'Dark Dharma' surged toward him like a tide.

A moment later, Ye Tianming's body trembled, and he left the room, riding his sword into the starry sky. He looked down at the countless lights below, took a deep breath, and said, "Condense."

Boom!

In an instant, a Guanxuan divine dharma image condensed behind him, towering three hundred zhang tall!

Ye Tianming spread his hands, "Come."

Behind him, the Guanxuan divine dharma image also spread its hands. Instantly, countless 'Dark Dharma' surged from the heavens and earth.

The three hundred zhang dharma image began to rapidly expand. In a few breaths, it grew from three hundred zhang to five hundred zhang, and continued to expand wildly....

Six hundred zhang!

Seven hundred zhang!

Nine hundred zhang!

One thousand five hundred zhang!

When it reached one thousand five hundred zhang, Ye Tianming stopped. He turned to look at the dharma image behind him, a thousand zhang tall, completely black, like ink, majestic and awe-inspiring, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura.

Only those who reached the Immortal Realm could condense a thousand zhang dharma image!

But now, he was just in the Dharma Phase Realm, yet he could already condense a thousand zhang dharma image.

Ye Tianming took a deep breath, "Condense!"

The sound echoed, and in an instant, countless starlights from the far reaches of the starry sky surged straight toward him. Soon, another thousand zhang star dharma image rapidly condensed. The two dharma images overlapped, and two different auras continuously rippled through the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding space to ripple like water waves.

Two thousand zhang dharma images!

Ye Tianming's face was already pale, but he said again, "Condense!"

Boom!

Below, deep within the earth, countless earth vein forces surged toward him. In an instant, a thousand zhang earth vein dharma image condensed behind him.

Three dharma images overlapped!

At this moment, Ye Tianming's body was trembling. Soon, he hurriedly withdrew the three dharma images. As soon as they were withdrawn, he almost fell down.

Simultaneously condensing three dharma images was too strenuous for him at the moment.

His mental power was still insufficient!

The small tower suddenly said, "If you use the Extraordinary Divine Seal, you should be able to maintain the three dharma images for a while."

Ye Tianming nodded, "I know, but I want to be able to maintain the three dharma images and use the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique without the Extraordinary Divine Seal."

The small tower said solemnly, "You're playing a bit too big."

Ye Tianming said softly, "Ancestor Tower, I don't have much time left."

He didn't know how strong the disciples of the noble families and sects were, but he knew how strong his senior sister was. He was always using her as a hypothetical opponent.

Ye Tianming continued, "My opponents are all from those super noble families and sects. How can I be careless facing them? But now, time..."

The small tower suddenly said, "Why don't you enter the tower? The cultivation time inside is different from outside."

Ye Tianming said, "You didn't tell me about this before. I think it might harm you, so... Ancestor Tower, don't risk yourself for my cultivation. I can do it, really."

The small tower: "......."

Ye Tianming took a deep breath, "After the debate tomorrow, I'll go back and study the Extraordinary Divine Seal to see if I can improve my mental power and divine soul."

The small tower hesitated for a moment and then said, "It won't have a significant impact on me..."

Ye Tianming shook his head, "Ancestor Tower, don't comfort me. Don't you remember what you told me before? You are sealed and injured... If you open it now, it will definitely have a huge impact on you... But don't worry, when I have money in the future, I'll take you to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to find top experts to help you recover."

The small tower: "I......."

Ye Tianming returned to his room, washed up, and lay on the bed. He then took out the books he borrowed from the Great Dao Bookshop and read them seriously.

He read all night. When the sky began to turn light, he put away the book, got out of bed, and went to his senior sister's door. Just as he was about to knock, the door opened, and Fucang appeared in front of him.

Ye Tianming smiled, "Senior Sister."

Fucang nodded.

Ye Tianming glanced at Fucang, somewhat surprised, "Senior Sister, did you cultivate my technique?"

He sensed the energy of 'Dark Dharma' from Fucang.

Fucang nodded but didn't speak.

Ye Tianming knew she was cold and didn't like to talk, so he didn't ask more and said, "Let's go then."

Fucang nodded.

As soon as the senior brother and sister left the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, they encountered Li Zheng and Gu Qi.

Li Zheng smiled, "Brother Ye, Miss Fucang, we'll take you to the Guanxuan Debate Hall."

Ye Tianming nodded, "Okay."

The group left the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and headed straight for the Guanxuan Academy.

The Guanxuan Debate Competition was the second-largest competition in the Guanxuan Universe, only second to the Wan Zhou Grand Competition. Unlike the Wan Zhou Grand Competition, the Guanxuan Debate Competition was a literary competition, but the intensity was no less than a martial competition.

Because martial competitions test strength, while literary competitions test intelligence.

Everyone likes to see who lacks intelligence.

This Guanxuan Debate Competition was different from previous ones, as it was more grandiose this time because participants from the Ancient Epoch were joining.

The Ancient Epoch was a super-civilized universe, belonging to the Supreme Civilization, even higher than the Supreme Civilization.

If the Guanxuan Universe lost this time, it would lose face in the future.

They couldn't afford to lose no matter what!

Soon, Ye Tianming and the others arrived at the Guanxuan Debate Hall. The hall was already crowded with people, all eager to witness this exciting debate, especially with participants from the Ancient Epoch.

The people of the Guanxuan Universe were undoubtedly proud. Throughout all the universes, who could be more impressive than the Guanxuan Universe?

No one!

People from the Guanxuan Universe walked with a sense of superiority.

There was no way around it!

Everyone understood a truth: the Yang family was invincible!

To everyone, the participation of the Ancient Epoch civilization in the debate competition in the Guanxuan Universe was a self-inflicted humiliation.

Ye Tianming and the others pushed through the crowd and arrived at the hall. Just as they reached the hall, he suddenly turned to look to the right. About thirty zhang away, a statue stood, wearing a dark robe, but its face was indistinct.

No one was within thirty zhang of the statue.

Seeing Ye Tianming's gaze, Li Zheng said, "The statue of the Guanxuan Sword Master is the only one in the Guanxuan Universe."

The Guanxuan Sword Master, Ye Guan!

Fucang stared intently at the statue, lost in thought.

Ye Tianming walked toward the statue but was pulled back by Li Zheng. Ye Tianming turned to look at Li Zheng, who said solemnly, "You can't get close. If you approach without reason, you will be executed for the crime of defaming the Dean."

Ye Tianming frowned.

Gu Qi sneered, "Isn't it just to prevent people from lodging complaints with the Guanxuan Sword Master?"

Ye Tianming asked, "Lodge complaints?"

Gu Qi explained, "When the statue was first built, many people with grievances would go to the statue to lodge complaints... Later, they thought it was too detrimental, so they no longer allowed anyone to approach the statue of the Guanxuan Sword Master."

Ye Tianming said softly, "I see... They won't give the lower class any chance to appeal for injustice."

As he was about to walk toward the distant hall, suddenly, several divine senses enveloped him.

Ye Tianming was stunned.

Soon, Li Zheng and the others looked extremely uneasy. Gu Qi said angrily, "Damn it, they're afraid that Brother Ye will go to the Guanxuan Sword Master to lodge a complaint... Shit!!"
