I Have A Sword-Chapter 1346: Must Bow Before An Emperor

As soon as Ye Guan arrived at the Di Clan, he heard some enchanting melodies. The music was grand and passionate; its melody was like a torrential flood, and the drumbeats were like rolling thunder.

When the music began, Ye Guan saw over a hundred women dressed in ethereal robes floating toward him from a distance. They gracefully arrived before him and began dancing on both sides.

Each of these women was clearly chosen with great care, and every single one of them had a stunning figure and breathtaking beauty. Their dance was also mesmerizing and soul-stirring.

Ye Guan frowned slightly. Was the Di Clan trying to put on a show?

At that moment, led by Di Ling, a group of powerful figures from the Di Clan came forward. They walked up to Ye Guan, then all knelt down respectfully and said in unison, "We welcome you, Emperor Guan!"

Ye Guan remained silent for a moment as he looked at the kneeling figures before him.

"Rise," he said.

Di Ling and the others slowly stood up, but Di Ling, who was at the forefront, remained slightly bent at the waist in a respectful posture. He said, "Emperor Guan, please enter the hall."

The people behind him hurriedly stepped aside, clearing a path. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ye Guan walked slowly toward the grand hall in the distance.

Di Ling and the others immediately followed, secretly observing Ye Guan along the way. When they confirmed that Ye Guan had truly lost his cultivation, a trace of disappointment flashed across their faces. The renowned Young Lord Ye had indeed lost his power.

However, their expressions remained respectful. They were betting that Ye Guan still had a hidden card to play!

Di Ling, in particular, was actually quite pleased. Though Ye Guan had lost his cultivation, his demeanor and confidence did not resemble that of a powerless man in the slightest.

Upon entering the grand hall, Ye Guan naturally took the seat where Di Ling previously sat. He gazed down upon everyone in the hall, and in that instant, an invisible pressure filled the space.

Di Ling, however, was ecstatic. Young Lord Ye didn't seem powerless at all—his invisible Supreme Emperor's aura still remained!

Ye Guan looked at Di Ling and said, "Di Ling, you should be well aware of what I am about to face."

Di Ling naturally understood what Ye Guan meant. He immediately responded respectfully, "Emperor Guan, my Di Clan is willing to share both glory and disgrace with you."

Share both glory and disgrace!

Ye Guan slowly stood up and walked to the entrance of the grand hall. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Though all hope seemed lost, he knew that in the vast universe, many powerful figures were secretly watching this land.

Di Ling suddenly said, "Emperor Guan, do you need time?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Right now, he did indeed need some time!

Di Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "My Di Clan is willing to buy some time for Emperor Guan."

Ye Guan turned to look at Di Ling. Di Ling said in a solemn tone, "My Di Clan is willing to open the Di Clan's Supreme Emperor Secret World to the public. It'll serve as bait for those spies."

Upon hearing Di Ling's words, the Di Clan experts in the hall were visibly shocked, looking at him in disbelief.

The Supreme Emperor Secret World!

It was the Di Clan's most prized asset. It contained the legacy of a Supreme Emperor, and anyone who obtained it would at the very least reach the Half-Step Beyond Dao Realm.

Moreover, their strength would far surpass ordinary Half-Step Beyond Dao experts.

In other words, the Supreme Emperor Secret World was the very foundation of the Di Clan's existence. Thanks to it, the Di Clan managed to ensure that they would have at least one half a step into the Beyond Dao Realm expert in every era.

However, they had actually decided to open it to the public?

Several elders of the DI Clan hesitated to speak. This was their most treasured legacy, and if they opened it to the public...

Ye Guan was a bit puzzled. "The Supreme Emperor Secret World?"

Di Ling nodded and explained, "Yes, it is the cultivation ground of our clan's Supreme Emperor. When he died, the world he resided in transformed into the Supreme Emperor Secret World."

Ye Guan was intrigued. "Why did he die?"

"We don't know." Di Ling's expression turned sorrowful. "We only know that after our ancestor's return from the outside, he began making preparations for his death. Shortly after, he perished..."

A Supreme Emperor had perished! Ye Guan frowned.

He had reached the level of a Supreme Emperor before, so he was well aware of how terrifyingly powerful they were. A being of such caliber, if unwilling to die, should logically be extremely difficult to kill.

Ye Guan retracted his thoughts and looked at Di Ling. "This Supreme Emperor Secret World is the core of your clan's existence. Are you really willing to open it?"

Di Ling bowed respectfully. "Our Di Clan is willing to live and die alongside you, Emperor Guan. Not just the Supreme Emperor Secret World, even if it means sacrificing our entire clan, we would not hesitate!"

Ye Guan looked at Di Ling for a long moment before saying, "I will not let your clan suffer a loss. Once I've restored my strength, your Di Clan may select one person to train under me."

Di Ling was ecstatic, and his voice trembled with excitement as he exclaimed, "Thank you, Emperor Guan!"

He had just gathered two pieces of information!

Ye Guan was going to recover his strength, and he was going to train one individual from the Di Clan! Once Ye Guan had recovered his strength, then the Di Clan would have someone as a disciple of a Supreme Emperor!

That status alone would be beyond imagination!

The Di Clan elders were all beaming with joy. If Ye Guan's strength was restored and one of their own became his disciple, it would be equivalent to having the most powerful backing in existence.

In the path of cultivation, having a powerful supporter was invaluable! And the man before them, if he recovered, would be the ultimate pillar of support!

Ye Guan looked up at the sky. He knew that the hidden forces had yet to make a move because they still had reservations.

Little Pagoda suddenly said, "If they do make a move..."

Ye Guan's expression remained indifferent. "Then they are courting death!"

Little Pagoda was silent.

News of the Di Clan opening the Supreme Emperor Secret World spread like wildfire.

The Supreme Emperor Secret World! Only Supreme Emperor Clans possessed such worlds, and they contained the legacies of Supreme Emperors!

A Supreme Emperor's legacy! Who could resist such temptation?

Back then, the DI Clan had retreated from the Ten Desolate Universe precisely because they feared that others would covet the Supreme Emperor Secret World, which was their very foundation.

The top experts of the Supreme Emperor Clans and the Immortal Clan were stunned. The Di Clan had actually chosen to open the Supreme Emperor Secret World to the public?! What was their goal?

Some hesitated, but others had already rushed inside.

For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If they could obtain a Supreme Emperor's inheritance or just a hint of guidance, their cultivation base was sure to skyrocket! As more and more people entered the Supreme Emperor Secret World, even the most reserved members from the Immortal Clan could no longer hold back.

***

Ye Guan had already left the Di Clan. Di Ling gazed at the Supreme Emperor's Secret World, watching as countless people rushed inside. A complex light flickered in his eyes.

The expressions of the Di Clan's powerhouses were equally complicated.

There wasn't any regret over using the Supreme Emperor's Secret World to buy time for Ye Guan. Rather, it was at this moment that they truly realized... the Di Clan had truly declined.

In its most glorious era, the Di Clan demanded the submission of everyone. Any clan or powerhouse that encountered members of the Di Clan would have to bow in respect.

When their Supreme Emperor fell, everything changed.

Di Ling clenched his hands tightly as he looked at the sky. "The Di Clan must survive our era."

***

Ye Guan also entered the secret world. He was not here for the so-called Supreme Emperor's inheritance but to meet the Supreme Emperor of the Di Clan.

Of course, he had made slight alterations to his appearance.

Upon entering the Supreme Emperor's Secret World, he suddenly discovered a mysterious law permeating the space. This mysterious power completely suppressed the cultivation and divine abilities of all who entered.

Ye Guan was intrigued. Just then, a voice came from behind him.

"The Supreme Emperor Law...truly lives up to its name."

Ye Guan turned around and saw a lady approaching from a short distance away. She wore a flowing pale purple robe, with a crimson jade belt around her waist. In her hand, she held a folding fan. She had an exceptionally beautiful face, and her bright smile carried a heroic air.

Ye Guan asked curiously, "The Supreme Emperor Law? What is that?"

The lady smiled as she explained, "The Supreme Emperor Law is a law that an emperor can condense upon ascending to the Supreme Emperor Realm.

"It suppresses all Daos and Laws of the world, so it is also known as the highest law in the world."

The Supreme Emperor Law!

Ye Guan suddenly understood. He recalled that he, too, had once been able to condense a new law. Unfortunately, before he could even show off, he lost his cultivation. What a headache!

The lady looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "I am Diyi You. How should I address you, Brother?"

Ye Guan snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. "Yang Guan."

The lady chuckled and said, "Come, let's go meet the Supreme Emperor of the Di Clan."

Ye Guan nodded.

The two of them walked away and soon saw a mountain. Countless people were making their way toward it. Ye Guan noticed that upon reaching the base of the mountain, the people would stop and kneel, bowing with utmost respect.

Ye Guan was puzzled. "What are they doing?"

Diyi You turned to Ye Guan, slightly surprised. "You don't know?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "I don't."

Diyi You smiled faintly. "It is the rule of this world, when one encounters a Supreme Emperor, one must bow."

One had to bow upon meeting a Supreme Emperor! Ye Guan was stunned. Does that count for Father and Grandfather, too?

He quickly shook his head. Ever since he scattered his cultivation base, this Mad Demon Bloodline had become more and more unhinged, constantly affecting his thoughts.

The Mad Demon Bloodline was dumbfounded.

Watching Ye Guan walk off into the distance, Diyi You's eyes flickered. "So he's the renowned Emperor Guan? My sister's fiancé... He really is pretty handsome."
