Chapter 747: Knowledge Exchange

Ye Guan unleashed his sword intent nonstop, which was starting to undergo a qualitative transformation beneath the relentless tempering of the lightning region's lightning power.

Ye Guan's sword intent could finally withstand the lightning power.

However, he wasn't satisfied with merely holding his ground.

He pressed forward, and the deeper he went into the lightning region, the stronger the lightning power became.

Just like that, days turned into weeks.

After a month, Ye Guan's sword intent finally exhibited faint traces of lightning energy.

His sword intent, which had been exposed to the lightning power for an extended period of time, had unknowingly absorbed a significant amount of lightning energy.

Ye Guan was thrilled by the discovery, and he made his sword intent absorb more of the lightning energy. To his delight, it was effective.

The Tribulation of All Beings could be considered to be the most terrifying tribulation in the entire universe, as it originated from all beings and was meant to annihilate all beings.

It was a tribulation that all beings had to overcome, but it was the hardest tribulation to overcome.

Ye Guan absorbed more lightning power, and his sword intent soon glimmered with a sheen of lightning. It was in the middle of a qualitative transformation.

In addition, Ye Guan's cultivation base was also improving while he was fighting back against the lightning region's lightning power.

It was only a matter of time before he reached the Human Dao Realm.

Cirou smiled at the sight and remarked, "This place is an excellent cultivation ground."

Cizhen nodded. "You can all come here to cultivate in the future."

Cirou and Cishu looked at Cizhen at the same time.

Cizhen asked, "Why are you both looking at me like that?"

Cirou's voice was trembling as she asked, "A-are you saying that we can come here to keep you company?"

"Of course," Cizhen replied.

Cirou and Cishu were instantly delighted.

However, Cishu was suddenly worried. "The Evil Dao..."

Cizhen chuckled and said, "Just treat her like she doesn't exist."

Cirou and Cishu fell silent.

Ye Guan had no idea just how long he had been staying in the lightning region, but his sword intent was now surging around him like a tidal wave. Within the countless strands of sword intent, faint traces of powerful lightning could be seen. His sword intent could finally withstand the lightning power in this part of the lightning region, but he dared not take another step. The core region was up ahead, and it contained lightning that was far beyond what he could endure at the moment. In fact, his keen intuition was telling him that even a cultivator with ninety percent divinity would be too weak to withstand it.

After a long while, Ye Guan opened his eyes and opened his palm, revealing a strand of lightning-infused sword intent.

The stand of sword intent contained a terrifying power that brought a slight smile to his face.

Just then, he turned and approached the three women.

Cizhen smiled and said, "Congratulations, your sword intent has transformed once more."

Ye Guan said, "It's a pity that I can't absorb more of it."

The lightning power here was really strong, so there was a limit to how much of it he could absorb.

The Qingxuan Sword could absorb as much as it wanted, but that would be meaningless.

Cizhen said, "You can come here to cultivate every now and then."

Ye Guan blinked and asked, "Really?"

Cizhen nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan laughed heartily. "Great!"

He'd like to cultivate here, but more importantly, he wanted to visit Cizhen often.

Cizhen said, "I just heard from Cirou that you're planning on visiting other civilizations."

"Yes," said Ye Guan with a nod. "Do you know much about the other civilizations, Sister Zhen?"

Cizhen shook her head slightly and said, "Nope, I know nothing about them."

Ye Guan laughed and commented, "Sister Zhen, you really are such a homebody."

Cizhen laughed in agreement. She was more interested in writing books than in exploring other civilizations, and she was satisfied as long as no one was invading her True Universe.

"When was the last time you met the Great Daoist Brush Master? Have you met him recently?" Cizhen asked.

Ye Guan shook his head. "Nope."

Cizhen said, "You should meet him, as he can help you establish your new order."

The Great Daoist Brush Master?

Ye Guan shook his head and laughed bitterly, saying, "I have no idea where he is."

"I'll help you find him," said Cizhen. With that, she opened her palm and pressed down gently.

"Hey, hey, hey!" A startled voice echoed in a special independent spacetime somewhere. "What are you doing, True God?"

A spacetime rift was torn open right in front of them, and a middle-aged man walked out of the rift. The middle-aged man was none other than the Great Daoist Brush Master, and he looked quite displeased.

Cizhen said, "We need your help."

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned and asked, "With what?"

Cizhen looked at Ye Guan and said, "He plans to explore other civilizations..."

"Why do you even want to do that?" asked the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Ye Guan smiled and replied, "I just want to see and experience new things."

The Great Daoist Brush Master was silent for a while before saying, "My advice for you is to wait until you've gotten sufficiently stronger. As for exploring other civilizations, wait until you reach ninety percent divinity. Only a cultivator at that level will gain respect from other civilizations. Otherwise, I'm worried that they're just going to attack you right away."

Ye Guan asked seriously, "Senior, you're really strong, so I assume you know the vastness of the vast expanse. Is the vast expanse truly boundless?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master remained silent.

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Ye Guan looked intently at him and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head slightly and said, "That's a difficult question to answer, and it's all because the vast expanse is diverse and multifaceted. I can only say that, as of now, there is only one being who can transcend the vast expanse itself and look at it from another perspective..."

Ye Guan was curious. "Who's that?"

"Your aunt who likes to wear a plain skirt."

Ye Guan was stunned.

The Great Daoist Brush Master sighed and said, "How strong do you think I am?"

Might as well flatter him a bit,

Ye Guan thought before saying, "You're close to invincibility!"

The Great Daoist Brush Master laughed heartily and said, "

Hahaha,

you sure know how to flatter, eh? Although I'm not invincible, only a few people are capable of killing me. However, there are certain regions of the vast expanse that even I—despite my strength—cannot reach. Do you know why?"

"Is it because of the laws of the vast expanse?" Ye Guan asked.

"No, it's because I'm too slow!"

Ye Guan was stunned.

"Unbelievable, right?" the Great Daoist Brush Master asked.

Ye Guan nodded. "You should be able to cross countless star fields with a single thought..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master opened his palm, and an ant appeared in his hand.

"The myriad beings out there are like this ant. Do you really think that this ant knows just how vast its world is? How about the star fields out there and the universe? Does it know how big they are? What do you think?"

"So it's a matter of perspective...." Ye Guan muttered solemnly."

"That's right," the Great Daoist Brush Master said with a nod. "The ant's minuteness is a matter of perspective, and the same applies to the insignificance of humans. From a certain perspective, we're no different from this ant."

Ye Guan was silent.

The Great Daoist Brush Master asked, "As far as I know, your mother has received an invitation from another civilization. Is that right?"

Ye Guan was stunned. "How did you know?"

"Do you really think that I just sit around, doing nothing all day?"

Ye Guan. "..."

"What civilization has extended that invitation to your mother? Have you heard of them?"

"I think they're called the Gui Zhe Civilization."

"Do you want to how long it would take you to reach the Gui Zhe Civilization with your current strength? By the time you get there, the Gui Zhe Civilization might have already perished.

"Let's say that they're still alive, but it would still take you tens of billions of years to get there. Unfortunately, tens of billions of years is plenty of time for a Universe Tribulation to spawn, so there's a high chance that the Gui Zhe Civilization is gone by the time you reach its location."

"Then, why did they invite my mother to visit them?"

"It's all because your mother is strong."

Ye Guan fell silent.

"They invited your mother, but they aren't strong enough to escort her to their location. She simply received coordinates from them, and she decided to go there on her own."

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before muttering, "In a one-on-one fight... I think my mother is going to lose against you."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head and said, "You've grossly underestimated your mother."

"Is she really strong?" Ye Guan asked. He had never seen his mother in action.

The Great Daoist Brush Master sighed and asked back, "Is your mother that weak in your heart?"

Ye Guan did not know what to say.

The Great Daoist Brush Master asked again, "Do you know why your mother didn't take you with her?"

"Because I'm weak?"

"Exactly! She can go there, but you're too weak to go with her."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"Do you know what your mother is doing right now?" asked the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Ye Guan was puzzled. "What do you mean, senior?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master sighed and said, "I really can't believe that you don't know anything at all. Your mother is working on something significant. She's building a Universe Space Station to bridge the gap between different civilizations and facilitate the exchange of knowledge between countless civilizations. I have to admit that if she ends up succeeding, it would be an incredible sight."

Cirou asked, "The exchange of knowledge between different civilizations? Wouldn't that be quite dangerous?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master replied, "It

is

dangerous, but not for her family. The myriad of civilizations out there should be worried about her family. They can only hope to compete with the Yang Family. The Yang Family is full of powerful freaks, after all. And it's not just the original members that are freaks... even their spouses are formidable as well."

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at Cizhen.

Cizhen had no idea what to say.
