Chapter 1403: The Boundless Club

Seeing the two Supreme Emperor Origin Essence Veins, Ye Guan quickly said, "Brother Mu, this is absolutely unacceptable! I may be short on money, but that's my own problem. You..."

Mu Xuanxu raised his hand to stop Ye Guan and smiled. "As I said, consider it a loan."

Ye Guan still wanted to refuse, but Mu Xuanxu added, "No, don't consider it a loan. Brother Ye, you're no ordinary person, so I guess you can say that this is an investment on my end."

Ye Guan sighed softly. "Brother Mu, you may end up losing this money."

"

Hahaha.

" Mu Xuanxu laughed heartily. "Then I'll gladly accept the loss."

Ye Guan smiled and didn't refuse anymore. Instead, he placed the two Supreme Emperor Origin Essence Veins into the Little Pagoda.

With these two Supreme Emperor Origin Essence Veins, the spiritual energy inside the pagoda could last for a while longer.

After traveling through dozens of starry regions, the two arrived in front of a dark planet. Around this planet, several mysterious auras were hidden. Ye Guan glanced at the dark planet. "The Xianfu Civilization is on that planet?"

Mu Xuanxu nodded, and his eyes were filled with excitement as he said, "The ruins of the Xianfu Civilization are famous for containing countless divine artifacts and treasures.

"Of course, there are dangers as well."

Ye Guan scanned the surroundings and asked, "Are those people in the shadows from the Three Great Civilizations?"

"Yes," Mu Xuanxu replied, "When this planet was discovered, our Three Great Civilizations took control of it. However, to avoid unnecessary conflicts, we agreed not to divide up the ruins but instead let the younger generations explore them.

"This way, large-scale battles are avoided, and our young cultivators can temper themselves."

Ye Guan nodded in understanding but said nothing.

Rumble!

Just then, rumbling noises echoed in the distance. Ye Guan turned to look and saw a spacetime rift. A man clad in a mecha armor burst out from the rift. His arrival sent shockwaves throughout the spacetime around him.

Ye Guan studied the mecha armor. It was pitch-black and had a smooth, mirror-like surface. It looked incredibly sleek, and at a glance, he could tell it was of a higher grade than the one Xiu Ling was wearing in the Holy Martial Tower.

Mu Xuanxu smiled and said, "Come, Brother Ye, let me introduce you. He's Brother Zhi Qi from the Eternal Civilization. He is one of the top talents of their younger generation.

"Brother Zhi Qi, this is Brother Ye. He is only a Supreme Emperor, but his true combat strength far surpasses that realm."

Ye Guan looked at Zhi Qi and smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhi Qi glanced at Ye Guan but ignored him. Instead, he turned to Mu Xuanxu and said, "Let's go."

Mu Xuanxu quickly smoothed things over. "Alright, let's go."

Under Mu Xuanxu's lead, the three of them proceeded forward. On the way, Mu Xuanxu sent Ye Guan a voice transmission via profound energy.

"Brother Ye, don't take it to heart. Brother Zhi Qi's personality is just like that... he's like that with strangers.

"Once you get to know him, you'll see that he's actually a good guy."

Ye Guan chuckled. "I don't mind."

Mu Xuanxu grinned. "That's good."

As they were about to enter the planet, Mu Xuanxu opened his palm, and two talismans floated up from his hand.

Ye Guan was surprised. "What are those?"

Mu Xuanxu smiled. "Anyone who enters must register. Plus, the number of times we can enter is limited. For example, I can only enter twice a year..."

Ye Guan's expression changed slightly. "Brother Mu, doesn't that mean you're giving me one of your entry chances?"

Mu Xuanxu nodded slightly. "Yes, but don't overthink it. I usually only enter once a year anyway."

Ye Guan's expression became somewhat complicated. "Brother Mu, I've owed you too many favors..."

"

Hahaha.

" Mu Xuanxu laughed. "This is nothing, no need to talk about favors. Let's go."

With that, he rushed toward the dark planet.

Zhi Qi followed closely behind.

Ye Guan glanced at the two before following them as well.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the peak of a mountain. Looking ahead, they saw an endless mountain range. There were thick, swirling black clouds above the mountains, forming a vortex that was exuding an oppressive aura.

Ye Guan glanced at Mu Xuanxu and saw his solemn face.

Ye Guan curiously asked, "The ruins are inside that vortex?"

Mu Xuanxu explained, "The entire planet has already been explored by the Three Great Civilizations except for what's inside that vortex. Based on our investigations, there is a powerful ancient clan inside, which was likely the ruling power of the Xianfu Civilization."

Ye Guan focused on the vortex. When he tried to extend his divine sense into it, a mysterious force blocked him, preventing him from probing inside.

Ye Guan was surprised.

"This is a bizarre place," Mu Xuanxu said, "The Three Great Civilizations declared that only Immortal Emperors can enter. Brother Ye, you're not at the Immortal Emperor Realm, but your true strength has already reached that realm..."

Zhi Qi suddenly said, "Let's go."

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and shot into the black vortex.

Mu Xuanxu glanced at Ye Guan. Ye Guan was about to follow when Mu Xuanxu suddenly opened his palm, revealing a storage ring. He handed it to Ye Guan and said, "Put on the armor inside before going in."

Ye Guan looked inside the ring and was shocked. "Isn't this an Immortal-rank mecha armor?"

Mu Xuanxu smiled. "Exactly."

Ye Guan was about to refuse, but Mu Xuanxu added, "Inside the vortex, there's a mysterious suppressive force. This Immortal-rank mecha armor is immune to that suppression, as it's made using technology.

"And just to be clear, I'm only lending it to you."

Hearing that, Ye Guan no longer refused. He accepted the armor and was about to put it on, but Mu Xuanxu said, "Put it on inside."

With that, he dragged Ye Guan forward and disappeared.

Soon, the two arrived at the vortex's edge. Ye Guan looked toward its depths, sensing a mysterious power fluctuating within.

Mu Xuanxu said, "Brother Ye, put it on."

Ye Guan nodded. He opened his palm, and the Immortal-rank mecha armor appeared. However, he wasn't sure how to equip it.

Mu Xuanxu saw that and chuckled. "I forgot, I need to sever my mental link with it first."

Closing his eyes, Mu Xuanxu concentrated, and soon, the mecha armor trembled.

Mu Xuanxu then said, "It's ready. Just drip a drop of your blood on its chest."

Ye Guan nodded, pricked his finger, and let a drop of blood fall onto the armor's chest. Instantly, the armor transformed into a streak of light and melted into his forehead.

Inside his sea of consciousness, a miniature version of the mecha armor appeared. With a mere thought on his end, the armor wrapped around him like a second skin.

Ye Guan clenched his fists and was shocked to feel a terrifying power surging through his entire being.

Mu Xuanxu smiled. "Brother Ye, how is it?"

Ye Guan remarked, "It's truly a divine artifact."

With this armor, his strength was doubted, so it was absolutely insane!

Mu Xuanxu laughed. "Let's go."

Ye Guan looked at Mu Xuanxu. "Aren't you going to wear armor?"

Mu Xuanxu chuckled. "I don't need it."

With that, he disappeared into the vortex's depths.

Ye Guan stared at Mu Xuanxu in the distance.

Little Pagoda said,

"That guy is just like Tian Chen..."

Tian Chen...

Ye Guan smiled slightly.

"I wonder how that guy is doing in the Milky Way. He must be at the Boundless Club right now. Hahaha!"

With that, he transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the distance.

As he passed through the depths of the vortex, he sensed a powerful suppressive force. However, due to his mecha armor, that force had no effect on him.

Before long, Ye Guan emerged from the vortex and reappeared in front of a gate. The gate was built from massive boulders, exuding an overwhelming aura. Two words were written above the gate, and they said, "Tianji Clan."

Ye Guan walked up to Mu Xuanxu and Zhi Qi.

Mu Xuanxu said in a deep voice, "There is an array and a Divine Guardian stationed at this gate. The Divine Guardian and the array are one, making it extremely terrifying. Many have come here, but most were stopped at this very point. The three of us must work together."

Ye Guan said, "Brother Mu, just give the orders."

Mu Xuanxu nodded, then said, "Brother Ye, you will restrain the array while Brother Zhi Qi and I deal with the Divine Guardian."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

"I will restrain the array!"Zhi Qi suddenly said.

Ye Guan looked at Zhi Qi. Clearly, this man didn't trust him or Mu Xuanxu.

Mu Xuanxu looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "I'm fine with anything."

Mu Xuanxu nodded. "Then Brother Ye and I will handle the Divine Guardian while Brother Zhi Qi will restrain the array."

With that, he stepped forward. As soon as he set foot on the stone steps, the sky trembled, and a massive light array manifested in the air. A towering Divine Guardian appeared in the middle of it and descended with its long saber.

"Brother Ye, move!" Mu Xuanxu shouted and rushed forward.

Ye Guan followed closely behind him.

Seeing that, Zhi Qi finally transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the array. He activated the power of his mecha armor and launched a relentless assault on the array.

As soon as Ye Guan clashed with the Divine Guardian, his expression changed drastically. The Divine Guardian was stronger than he had expected! Even with his mecha armor, he was sent flying nearly a thousand meters with a single strike.

If it hadn't been for the mecha armor, he would have been severely wounded.

Just as he came to a stop, Mu Xuanxu appeared beside him and asked, "Brother Ye, your sword is no ordinary weapon, isn't it?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Lend it to me." Mu Xuanxu extended his hand. "I need to use a powerful secret technique; an ordinary weapon won't be able to withstand it."

Without hesitation, Ye Guan handed over the Qingxuan Sword.

Mu Xuanxu gripped the Qingxuan Sword, transformed into a streak of sword light, and shot toward the Divine Guardian. The guardian raised its blade and slashed down fiercely at Mu Xuanxu.

However, Mu Xuanxu vanished like a ghost, causing the guardian's attack to miss.

Instead of continuing his attack, Mu Xuanxu suddenly appeared behind Zhi Qi. Without hesitation, he thrust the Qingxuan Sword toward Zhi Qi at breakneck speed.

"...!" Zhi Qi's soul nearly left his body in fright. He hastily retracted his mecha armor for defense, but his mecha armor was no match for the Qingxuan Sword.

The sword tore through it and pierced Zhi Qi's chest.

A mysterious force then obliterated Zhi Qi's soul!

It happened too fast; the turn of events happened as quickly as a flash of lightning.

By the time Ye Guan came to his senses, Zhi Qi was already dead.

Mu Xuanxu turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan gazed at Mu Xuanxu with a calm face. "Brother Mu, you wouldn't want to kill me, too, would you?"

Without saying anything, Mu Xuanxu gripped the Qingxuan Sword and plunged it into his own chest. The next moment, he erased his own soul, obliterating it.

Ye Guan stood there, stunned.

Boom!

Just then, more than a dozen terrifying auras appeared outside the vortex. In the blink of an eye, several powerful figures from the Eternal Civilization and the Old Lands rushed in.

When they saw the lifeless bodies of Mu Xuanxu and Zhi Qi, their faces instantly twisted with rage. Their gazes locked onto Ye Guan like countless swords poised to strike.
