Chapter 983: Aunt, Destroy Them All

Chapter 983: Aunt, Destroy Them All

Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, Plain-Skirt Destiny frowned.

"Aunt, what's wrong?" asked Ye Guann.

Plain-Skirt Destiny didn't respond immediately. If the tiny pagoda was upgraded too much, it wouldn't be conducive to Ye Guan's growth. On the other hand, if it were too weak, it would be useless.

After some thought, she opened her palm, and the tiny pagoda appeared in her hand.

Little Pagoda immediately became excited. Here comes a power boost!

Plain-Skirt Destiny gently tapped on it with two fingers. The tiny pagoda trembled violently, and a flash of golden light bedazzled everyone. Then, Plain-Skirt Destiny handed it back to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan blinked. "That's it?"

Plain-Skirt Destiny nodded.

Ye Guan took the pagoda and examined it, then asked him, "Master Pagoda, how is the upgrade?"

Little Pagoda was just as confused as Ye Guan. "I don't know!"

Plain-Skirt Destiny explained, "I've modified it into a growth-type pagoda. From now on, it'll need to cultivate just like you. The more people you kill, the stronger it becomes. Of course, it can also grow by killing on its own."

Ye Guan's expression froze.

Little Pagoda was speechless.

A growth-type pagoda?

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly.

Master Pagoda and he could no longer take it easy. Clearly, his aunt intended for Master Pagoda to cultivate alongside him. Considering Master Pagoda's laidback personality, however, how was he even going to cultivate?

It seemed like their days ahead were going to be tough.

Little Pagoda felt bitter, but he dared not say anything.

Plain-Skirt Destiny said, "Let's go."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

She then looked at Yi Nian and asked, "Where's your home? Point me in the right direction."

Ye Guan's expression changed drastically, while both Yi Nian and Little Pagoda fell silent.

A few moments later, they left.

At that moment, a blindfolded swordsman appeared. He stood there in silence for a long time before he whispered, "Take care, junior brother."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Meanwhile, in the True Universe, somewhere within the Tribulation World...

"Ah!" someone roared. The voice belonged to the True Universe's Evil Dao!

The horrifying power of the Universe Tribulation churned, but they were ultimately suppressed by another power, crushing them completely.

"Ye Guan! Yang Family!" The roar resembled a raging beast, echoing endlessly throughout the Tribulation World.

Under Yi Nian's guidance, the group arrived at the Tianxing Civilization.

The arrival of Ye Guan, accompanied by Plain-Skirt Destiny, puzzled High Goddess Tianyun. She was, of course, a bit worried as well, as she could sense that this female swordsman had quite a temper. Still, there was nothing she could do to stop them, so she could only take things one step at a time.

The powerful figures of the Tianxing Civilization naturally recognized Ye Guan. When they saw him, their expressions turned grim, and their gazes were hostile.

Luckily, High Goddess Tianxuan had already given strict orders after her return—no one was to provoke Ye Guan, especially not the lady in the plain skirt.

Prime Minister Mu was dead, so the High Goddesses held the highest authority in the Tianxing Civilization, so no one dared to disobey High Goddess Tianxuan's command. However, the hostility towards Ye Guan remained.

Ye Guan, completely indifferent to the hatred in their eyes, swept his gaze over them one by one. Soon, he spotted a familiar face—the Hall Master of the Hall of Enforcement, Wuzhou.

Everyone was utterly baffled. What is he trying to do? Is he returning the Tianxing Life Tree?

Even High Goddess Tianyun looked puzzled.

Ye Guan held Yi Nian's hand. Then, he turned to High Goddess Tianyun and said, "Senior, I wish to marry Yi Nian. Please give us your blessing."

Yi Nian was stunned.

The faces of the Tianxing Civilization experts turned sour.

A complex light flashed in High Goddess Tianyun's eyes. She finally understood his intention. He was going to marry Yi Nian in front of the Tianxing Civilization experts.

Marriage with outsiders isn't allowed? Well, today, I'm going to marry one of you guys right in front of you!

High Goddess Tianyun felt conflicted, but she could not blame Ye Guan, as he was truly sincere during his first visit. Unfortunately, the Tianxing Civilization had disrespected him.

Today, he decided to bring his relative.

Unhappy? Step forward if you dare!

The Path Sword was still hovering above the Tianxing Civilization.

High Goddess Tianyun gathered her thoughts, walked over to Yi Nian, and gently took her hand. Yi Nian lowered her head slightly and softly said, "Teacher."

High Goddess Tianyun smiled. "Congratulations."

With that, she placed Yi Nian's hand in Ye Guan's hand. Looking at Ye Guan, she said, "I'm entrusting her to you now."

Ye Guan nodded.

High Goddess Tianyun glanced at the Tianxing Life Tree and was about to speak, but Ye Guan immediately put it away again. High Goddess Tianyun could only smile wryly.

She wanted to ask if he could return the tree to the Tianxing Civilization, but it seemed that there was no way he was going to do that. He clearly hadn't gotten over his anger just yet.

Ye Guan turned to his aunt and smiled. "Aunt, according to traditions, a betrothal gift is necessary."

A betrothal gift!

Plain-Skirt Destiny stared at Ye Guan without a word, making him feel a little nervous. Out of all of his aunts, he feared her and Ye Qingqing. When she wasn't angry, it was fine, but if she was angry, it'd be terrifying.

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked away and turned to High Goddess Tianyun. She opened her palm and squeezed it gently. In an instant, the space above them cracked open, and a mysterious scroll flew out, landing steadily in her hand.

The scroll flew over to the confused High Goddess Tianyun.

"What is this?"

Plain-Skirt Destiny explained, "If you can understand that scroll, your civilization's tier will go up."

High Goddess Tianyun was visibly moved. If anyone else had said that, she wouldn't believe them. After all, the Tianxing Civilization had been trying for generations to break through its current limits and reach a higher level, but it had yet to succeed.

Could a mere scroll do it? It sounded unbelievable, but when the lady in the plain skirt said it, she had no doubts, as she was far too powerful!

She wasn't the only one who heard her words. Everyone else from the Tianxing Civilization heard her too.

Elevate the tier of their civilization? Many of them were skeptical. Although she seemed incredibly powerful, the idea that she could help their civilization rise to a higher level seemed a bit too far-fetched.

High Goddess Tianyun cautiously accepted the scroll and asked, "Senior, what exactly is this?"

Plain-Skirt Destiny said calmly, "I have no interest in such low-level things. You can study it yourself."

High Goddess Tianyun was speechless.

She then turned to Ye Guan and said, "I'm leaving."

Ye Guan gave a slight bow. "Take care, Aunt."

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at the people from the Tianxing Civilization and then said to him, "Work hard. Don't waste your time hanging around in these beginner areas; it's pointless."

"And I have no interest in maps of low-tier civilizations, so you can just call your grandfather for that!"

With that, Plain-Skirt Destiny disappeared into thin air.

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.
