However, to Jun Xiaoyao's surprise.
Ye Guchen's expression remained calm, without any fluctuations.
Logically speaking, upon learning that he was a wisp of soul from a super-strong Sword Dao Myth.
Most people would either be shocked or pleasantly surprised.
But Ye Guchen's expression was as usual.
He didn't show any joy because of his Karma with Dugu Sword God.
"Ye Guchen, in the midst of Reincarnation, you still returned."
"You will eventually fulfill Dugu Sword God's mission and once again become a new Sword Dao Myth!"
Wuming had high expectations for Ye Guchen.
In fact, if there were no accidents, Ye Guchen would definitely become the Pillar of the Sword Tomb in the future!
However, Ye Guchen shook his head slightly.
"I am just me, not anyone else."
"Not the Sword Demon of the past, Dugu Wubai."
"And certainly not the Sword Dao Myth, Dugu Sword God."
Ye Guchen's tone was very calm.
After severing the past and reshaping his true self.
Ye Guchen had clarified his Dao.
He wanted to walk his own Dao and establish his own Dao!
To break free from the shadows of all predecessors!
"This is not a conflict; you are still you, but you can also be Dugu Sword God."
"His sword is already in your hand, and his remains still lie in the deepest part of the Sword Tomb."
Wuming seemed to have anticipated Ye Guchen's reaction.
After all, he was a wisp of Dugu Sword God's soul.
And Dugu Sword God's personality was exactly like Ye Guchen's.
He didn't follow the paths of his predecessors, nor did he Cultivate their methods!
Ye Guchen's self-created Myriad Gods Tribulation was proof of his own Dao.
If Ye Guchen had joyfully accepted his identity as Dugu Sword God.
Then Wuming would have doubted whether Ye Guchen was truly Dugu Sword God's soul.
"Brother Ye, you can walk your own Dao, but you don't have to reject it."
"Integrating all Dao, Cultivating all methods, and finally comprehending the true meaning of oneself, this is also a method," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He vaguely felt that.
Ye Guchen might play a crucial role in the coming turmoil.
After all, there were truly few strong individuals who dared to stop the turmoil.
Most strong individuals chose to protect themselves.
Although Jun Xiaoyao wasn't a great hero who cared for all living beings every day.
He did have grudges with a number of restricted areas.
The Holy Spirit Ruins, Emperor's Fall Divine Mountain, and Beast Cave restricted areas were self-explanatory.
The Ancient Sacred Body's curse was probably also related to Chang Sheng Island.
He didn't believe that when the true turmoil arrived, those restricted areas would easily let him go.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to be a hero who saved all living beings.
But he himself was passively drawn into it.
So now, the more power, the better.
Ye Guchen should be capable of unleashing Dugu Sword God's power.
After hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Ye Guchen also nodded slightly.
This was indeed true.
Ye Guchen did have some admiration for Dugu Sword God.
"Alright, in that case, the matter is settled. Ye Guchen is naturally qualified to be a Sword Tomb successor, but…"
Wuming changed the subject and looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Although according to the rules of my Sword Tomb, there can only be one true successor per generation, this time we can make an exception."
"If Young Lord is willing, you can also become a successor of my Sword Tomb and enjoy the same treatment as Ye Guchen."
Wuming smiled slightly at this moment, looking very much like an old fox.
There was no need to say more about Ye Guchen; he was originally a wisp of Dugu Sword God's soul and had a deep Karma with the Sword Tomb, so becoming a successor was a matter of course.
But Jun Xiaoyao also made Wuming feel a bit of pity for his talent.
Although he didn't specialize in Sword Dao, his Sword Dao strength was far more terrifying than that of other Prodigy Sword Cultivators.
In fact, Wuming estimated that Jun Xiaoyao's talent in Sword Dao should not be weaker than Dugu Sword God's.
If Jun Xiaoyao specialized in Sword Dao, he would definitely be another Sword Dao Myth like Dugu Sword God.
But unfortunately, it seemed that Jun Xiaoyao didn't have a particular obsession with Sword Dao.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled politely upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Wuming."
"Although Junior also uses a sword as a weapon and Cultivates sword moves, I truly don't have a special obsession with Sword Dao."
"Far from Brother Ye, who is devoted to the sword and lives for the sword."
When Ye Guchen heard this, he looked at Jun Xiaoyao, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dark eyes.
What does it mean to be a true friend and opponent?
Respecting one's Sword Dao, that is what makes a true opponent and friend.
Although Jun Xiaoyao did not consider himself a Sword Cultivator, his respect for Sword Dao moved both Ye Guchen and Wuming.
"Haha, it seems I was being too demanding, but what a pity for such a fine piece of unpolished jade," Wuming laughed heartily.
Although it was a bit regrettable.
But truthfully, with Jun Xiaoyao's talent, he could probably reach the Peak no matter what Dao he Cultivated.
And he also knew that given Jun Xiaoyao's noble status, the identity of a Sword Tomb successor was indeed dispensable.
"Although Junior will not become a Sword Tomb successor, there's no problem with being affiliated with the Sword Tomb," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jun Xiaoyao also knew why Wuming wanted to win him over.
Besides his Prodigy Sword Dao talent.
There was probably another reason, which was the power of his Jun family behind him.
The Jun family was, after all, a Family that could awe the Nine Heavens.
If the Sword Tomb could connect with them, it would be more stable.
"Haha, that's even better. Young Lord also drew the sword, so you naturally have the right to be a member of the Sword Tomb," Wuming said with a smile.
With this additional connection with Jun Xiaoyao.
Perhaps in the future, the Sword Tomb could avoid some major storms.
The matter was thus settled.
Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao both became members of the Sword Tomb.
And Ye Guchen, in particular, became the Sword Tomb successor.
This news surprised those outside.
Their joining the Sword Tomb was not unexpected, as everyone had witnessed them drawing the sword from Heavenly Sword Peak.
But Ye Guchen ultimately becoming the Sword Tomb successor indeed exceeded many people's expectations.
"Oh, it wasn't Jun Xiaoyao, but Ye Guchen who became the Sword Tomb successor?"
"If it wasn't for Jun Xiaoyao's humility, then the only possibility is that Ye Guchen and the Sword Tomb have some Karma connection."
Ji Qingyi fell into contemplation.
It must be said that she was very astute and immediately guessed most of it.
She knew that Ye Guchen was indeed very strong.
But if they were to truly fight, he would definitely not be Jun Xiaoyao's opponent.
On the other side, Yan Rumeng thought the same way.
She also felt that there must be some reason behind it.
However, since Jun Xiaoyao had no objections, Yan Rumeng naturally wouldn't delve into it.
Situ Xue was also very happy to hear this news, happy for Ye Guchen.
The identity of a Sword Tomb successor was very significant.
It was equivalent to the Young Lord status of Reincarnation Sea or Emperor's Fall Divine Mountain.
Ye Guchen now had his own background and power in the Nine Heavens.
If Ye Guchen were to encounter Xuan Li, the Young Lord of Reincarnation Sea, now.
Xuan Li would definitely not be qualified to use his Young Lord status to suppress Ye Guchen again.
And just as Situ Xue was rejoicing for Ye Guchen.
A message from the Situ Family came through her Jade Slip.
After Situ Xue's Divine Thought scanned it.
Her face turned pale!
