Chapter 341: True Selflessness

One Heart, One Life!

It was an ancient spell that the True God created when they were still living in Stone Village. Once cast, two individuals would share one heart and one life. They would share life's sorrow and joy from then on.

The four of them had cast it onto each other back then, and it was a declaration of their determination to save each other from peril.

Cirou didn't expect that the Adjudication Sword Master would cast it onto Ye Guan. It had to be known that the four sisters had never cast it onto someone else other than themselves.

The Adjudication Sword Master and Ye Guan were now linked, and it would be like they were sharing one body. She helped Ye Guan absorb half of the damage!

Cirou was extremely furious. Has she gone completely insane?!

The Adjudication Sword Master frowned deeply, and her expression turned pale.

She had underestimated the power of the lightning bolts.

Cirou glared at her without saying a word. However, she had already secretly channeled the same ancient spell. Once the Adjudication Sword Master could no longer withstand the lightning tribulation, she would activate the One Heart, One Life spell that they had cast onto each other long ago to help her with the burden.

Just like that, Ye Guan and the Adjudication Sword Master remained steadfast as they dealt with the Lightning God Imprint. Ye Guan was having an easier time now that the Adjudication Sword Master had decided to absorb half of the damage for him.

Regardless, he didn't stay idle. Soon, he attempted to conquer the Lightning God Imprint. Half an hour later, the power of the lightning tribulation dissipated, and a faint lightning-shaped imprint appeared on Ye Guan's glabella.

It was the Lightning God Imprint!

The Adjudication Sword Master staggered back by about ten steps and almost fell to the ground.

Ye Guan took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Boom!This substance is firmly embedded in n0v*lbin★

A terrifying lightning force burst out of him and rattled the earth even thousands of meters away from him.

Ye Guan looked at his own hands. He then closed his eyes to feel the Lightning God Imprint's endless power from within him. Cirou was right; the Lightning God Imprint would constantly temper his sword and fleshly body.

Ye Guan suddenly recalled something and opened his eyes. Two bolts of lightning flashed in each of his eyes, and a burst of electricity exploded from him, making him look like the Lightning God.

Ye Guan's gaze landed on the weakened Adjudication Sword Master. he waved his sleeve, and a green ray of light flew toward her.

Ye Guan walked up to her.

The Adjudication Sword Master frowned and asked coldly, “What?”

“Thank you,” Ye Guan said softly.

The Adjudication Sword Master asked, “What are you thanking me for? I decided to save you so that I could kill you myself later."

Ye Guan's eyes flashed in a complicated light as he cast a deep gaze upon her.

The Adjudication Sword Master snapped at him, “What are you looking at?!”

“You’re nice to look at,” he said unconsciously and immediately froze upon realizing what he had just told her. What the hell did I just say?

The Adjudication Sword Master froze as well. Visibly taken aback, she hurriedly said, “You're courting death!"

She drew her sword and unleashed a sword attack on him. The sword attack started out fierce and powerful, but it got weaker and weaker as it approached Ye Guan. In the end, it became so slow that Ye Guan managed to dodge it without any issues.

Ye Guan smiled sheepishly and said, “Don't misunderstand... I was just being honest... You're really beautiful.”

Hearing that, the Adjudication Sword Master glared at him, but she didn't say anything nor make any moves.

Ye Guan was starting to feel a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he quickly changed the topic and turned to look at Cirou. “Lady Cirou, where is your big sister?”

"Why did Ba Wan sleep with me?" Ye Guan asked, sounding confused. "What was there for you guys to gain?"

At last, Ye Guan had finally blurted out the question that had baffled him the most.

Cirou blinked and asked back, “Why don’t you take a guess?”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “Just tell me the answer.”

“If you can’t guess it, I won’t tell you what it is. Just guess, and I'll tell you if you made the right guess,” Cirou said.

Ye Guan stared at her without saying anything.

Cirou smiled and pointed out. “You can't kill me.”

"How about my aunt?" Ye Guan asked.

Cirou’s smile stiffened, but she quickly recovered and said, “Who was it that said that he would no longer ask for his aunt's help? It hasn't even been that long since you made that declaration, but you're already going back on your word?”

Ye Guan gave her a thumbs up and said, “That was a great comeback.”

“I know you don’t want to be a pawn, but you no longer have a choice,” Cirou sighed and said, “Honestly, you're smart, but you're not cunning at all. If I were you, I would have feigned ignorance and pretended to fight the Eternal Sovereign along with the True Universe.

"Since my goal is to make you take on the Universe Tribulation, I would have definitely made the True Universe assist you, but now... the Guanxuan Universe’s help is all you're going to get against the Eternal Sovereign.”

Ye Guan retorted, “I wanted that to happen, too, but do you know why I chose not to proceed with it?”

Cirou asked curiously, “Why?”

Ye Guan looked straight into her eyes and said, “Because I have dignity, and I'm not willing to stoop so low.”

Cirou’s eyes narrowed.

Ye Guan said, “Lady Cirou, you're from the True Universe, and I'm from the Guanxuan Universe. In retrospect, it's not strange that you've plotted against me. I can only blame myself for falling into your trap, so I'm not angry at all.

"However, there's something I hope you won't hide from me. You know where Ba Wan is, right?”

Cirou nodded. “Yes.”

“I’d like to meet her,” Ye Guan said.

“Are you sure about that?”

“The matters between me and her must be settled eventually, don’t you think so?”

“I agree.”

“Is she still in Stone Village?”

Cirou shook her head and replied, “No, she’s right here.”

Boom!

The spacetime behind Cirou was abruptly torn open, and a young woman slowly walked out of the spacetime rift. She was an extremely beautiful young woman wearing a long skirt. Both her hands were behind her back, and her eyes exuded a domineering light reminiscent of invincibility.

The three sisters were as beautiful as each other, and it would be an understatement to say that their beauties were at mythical levels.

Ye Guan slowly walked up to Ba Wan.

Ba Wan stared calmly at him, and there wasn't a hint of turbulence in her placid eyes. It felt like she was staring at a complete stranger rather than at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at her for a long time before he smiled and said, “I’ve been thinking for a long time about what I would do and say once I meet you again. I've always been anxious about it, but now that I've seen you again. I finally realized it.

"The person I loved was the Ba Wan I met in that tiny village. The Ba Wan who was always excited to eat my meals, the Ba Wan who cried over an old cow, the Ba Wan whose stomach was seemingly an endless pit, and the Ba Wan who rushed into the True Universe to protect me with her life at stake...” Tears started falling from Ye Guan's eyes as he continued. “Now that I've seen you again, I'm finally convinced that she's never going to come back.

"She... that Ba Wan will... never come back.”
