Chapter 4168: The Human Sword Seal, related to the inheritance of the Human Sword Ancestor

"Brother Ye, it seems that your journey in the Sword Clan has not been smooth sailing either."

Over here, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly at Ye Guchen.

"That's fine too. If there were no targets, I would find it boring," Ye Guchen said.

His swordsmanship requires continuous practice and refinement.

Without opponents or rivalries, life would be quite boring.

"As expected of Brother Ye." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled.

Ye Guchen was originally a cultivation and combat maniac.

If Jun Xiaoyao is a cheat king, a genius with extraordinary talent...

Then Ye Guchen is a true workaholic and a monster of involution.

“Alright, Brother Jun, let’s find a place to talk,” Ye Guchen said.

Afterwards, they also left the place.

They arrived at Ye Guchen's usual residence.

It looks very simple, a small thatched hut surrounded by mountains and forests.

However, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was extremely rich.

There were also spirit-gathering formations circulating on the ground.

Ye Guchen's talent was, after all, extraordinary, and the Sword Clan couldn't possibly disregard him entirely.

Besides, Sword Maniac is protecting them.

Qiu Muyu was quite sensible; knowing that Jun Xiaoyao had something to discuss with Ye Guchen, she simply withdrew temporarily.

Inside the small hut.

Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen sat facing each other.

There were only two cups of coarse tea on the table.

“My place is really quite simple,” Ye Guchen said.

His daily life revolves around nothing but spiritual practice.

All he did was practice swordsmanship.

Compared to the carefree lifestyle of Jun Xiaoyao, who frequently indulges in tea, massages, and baths.

They can be described as two opposite extremes.

"Brother Ye, you're being too polite," Jun Xiaoyao said.

The two then chatted for a while.

Jun Xiaoyao understood.

Ye Guchen was indeed targeted by factions such as the Chixiao lineage and the Wuji lineage within the Sword Clan.

Fortunately, he was protected by the powerful Sword Maniac.

In addition, Ye Guchen himself was no pushover.

Furthermore, his performance at Sword Emperor Mountain was second only to Jun Xiaoyao.

This earned him the admiration of many prominent figures within the Sword Clan.

Therefore, although the Chixiao lineage and the Wuji lineage disliked Ye Guchen very much.

But aside from resorting to some minor tricks, there's nothing they can do about him.

"In that case, it seems I've dragged Brother Ye down."

“After all, they’re targeting you because of our relationship,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

Ye Guchen shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Jun, what are you saying?"

"Back then in the Nine Tribulations Abyss, if it weren't for your help in reshaping my physical body, how could I have recovered so smoothly?"

"Besides, their targeting of me is probably not solely because of Brother Jun."

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with slight curiosity.

Seeing this, Ye Guchen raised his hand and took out something.

It was a broken, cyan sword seal, which looked very ancient, as if it had gone through an extremely long period of time.

Moreover, it was because Jun Xiaoyao had comprehended the Heavenly Heart of the Sword Dao.

He also sensed an indescribable aura of swordsmanship on this cyan sword seal.

Although it was faint, it was enough to make any sword cultivator feel a tremor in their heart.

“This is…” Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed.

"The Sword Seal of the Human World," Ye Guchen said.

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao immediately understood.

"This item is related to the Sword Ancestor of the Human Realm."

Ye Guchen nodded slightly and said, "This was given to me by Senior Sword Madman. He said it was something that the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor once obtained."

"I think the other sword clan factions should also know about this."

"They're targeting me, probably because they want to get their hands on this part of the Human Sword Seal."

"This item is so important, Brother Ye, you just told me about it like this?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Heh, half of my life was given to me by Brother Jun, so what's wrong with that?" Ye Guchen said nonchalantly.

Then, he also chatted with Jun Xiaoyao for a while.

This sword seal in the human realm is related to the core inheritance of the Sword Ancestor in the human realm.

However, this is only a part, not the complete sword seal.

If a complete Human Sword Seal can be found, the location of the Human Sword Ancestor's lineage can be discovered.

It can be said that every sword cultivator in the entire Cangmang region desires to obtain this inheritance.

The Sword Clan, of course, desired it even more.

Although he was once the ancestor of swordsmanship in the human world, he left behind many techniques and supernatural abilities in the sword clan.

However, his core legacy was not left in the Sword Clan.

Instead, they chose to seek out their destined partner in future generations.

“In that case, Brother Ye, your situation isn’t exactly safe,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

“Those factions are still part of the Sword Clan, so at least they won’t go too far.”

“But I think that in a place like the Nine Heavens River, someone might want to make a move,” Ye Guchen said.

After all, the Nine Heavens River is nine vast galaxies that stretch across the starry sky.

Within each celestial river, there are countless star fields and realms.

It also connects to many vast worlds and universes.

This is arguably the best place to start.

Ye Guchen, however, showed no concern whatsoever.

Instead, there was a hint of anticipation.

It was an expectation of being able to duel with a master swordsman.

Strictly speaking, Ye Guchen was curious about the inheritance of the Human Sword Ancestor, but he didn't have much greed for it.

Because he wants to walk his own path and prove his own way of the sword.

Even if he obtained the swordsmanship of the Human Sword Ancestor, it would only be a reference.

"Brother Ye truly lives up to his reputation as a sword fanatic."

“But I think that with Brother Ye’s swordsmanship, those so-called prodigies of the Sword Clan shouldn’t pose much of a threat to you,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

He could also sense Ye Guchen's cultivation aura.

Although it certainly can't compare to myself.

But he's not far from becoming a peak-level emperor.

You should know that Ye Guchen attained the Dao and became an Emperor during the Nine Tribulations Abyss, which is not long ago.

They were already giants, and were beginning to approach the pinnacle.

He is definitely an extraordinary person.

However, considering the causal relationship between Ye Guchen and the legendary swordsman, Dugu Sword God.

This speed doesn't seem surprising.

Moreover, sword cultivators are known for their combat prowess, and Ye Guchen's extraordinary talent gives him the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao was not worried about how many people could threaten Ye Guchen.

“If you are interested in the legacy of the Sword Ancestor of the Human Realm, I can give you this item,” Ye Guchen said casually.

If the rest of the Sword Clan heard him say this, they would be absolutely dumbfounded.

He just handed over the clues to the legacy of a legendary swordsman so easily?
This is something they couldn't obtain no matter how hard they tried.

Jun Xiaoyao was also taken aback, then shook his head and smiled.

"Brother Ye, you really have a big heart."

"But forget it. I'm not a sword cultivator, nor do I specialize in the way of the sword."

"It's a bit of a waste that the legacy of the Human Sword Ancestor has fallen into my hands."

Ye Guchen thought for a moment and nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, you are a member of the Jun family."

“That Sword God Jun Wentian is on par with the Sword Ancestor of the Mortal World. You can just inherit the legacy from your family.”

"However, if there is an opportunity in the future, Brother Jun, you must allow me to learn a thing or two from Senior Jun Wentian."

Jun Xiaoyao remained silent once again.

Ye Guchen can truly be called a sword fanatic.

"By the way, Brother Jun, you came to the Sword Clan to see me, surely not for the so-called Heavenly Dao Sword Valley matter?" (End of Chapter)
