Chapter 187: Your Generation Is Truly Blessed (2/2)

Though Xiao Qi has yet to clearly speak out the answer, being clued this far, how could he still not understand?

”Brilliant Sword Heart is an ancient heritage. In ancient times, the world is rich with spiritual energy and opportunities are everywhere. In that time, the cultivators were in high spirit. As long as their apt.i.tude wasn’t too bad, they would still triumphantly progress on the road of Immortal Cultivation. After all, the environment there was too good. Therefore, the methods that were born at the time often emphasize the blending with nature and making use of the environment. As for this Non-Phase Method… it is clearly a method born out of the inhospitable natural environment; at the time of its invention, the master must have been under a great pressure.”

If not so, how could ten years ago, when his Master first imparted him the method, she seriously told him that the most important thing in the Immortal Cultivation was to be strong enough!

”However, on exactly what matter it is, I’m also at a loss.”

Xiao Qi just shrugged her shoulders. ”Can’t guess it? There’re already so many obvious clues. Twenty years ago when I went on experiential learning together with your Master, even I, a simple and straightforward person, have seen a lot of them, yet you can’t see them? Although your Spirit Sword Sect is currently the weakest among the Five Unique of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, at least two hundred years ago, it couldn’t be said as withered. And more than one hundred years ago, it is known internally that the sect has a golden generation. A hundred or more gifted disciples were so dazzling with their brilliance. It was a second to none scene. The history of that time, perhaps internally, your Spirit Sword Sect won’t tell you about it, but for people who have lived long enough in the Immortal Cultivation World, most of them knew at least a bit.”

w.a.n.g Lu actually hasn’t heard much about this. In his ten years of cultivation, this was only the second time he descended the mountain for experiential learning, and the first time was just a short time. He hasn’t had enough high-level contacts and thus never really heard of the concept of golden generation.

However, at this point, he could probably guess the follow-up to that.

From a hundred or more people in that golden generation, only ten people of the Heavenly Sword Hall were left. Obviously, Spirit Sword Sect has suffered through an unusually tragic blow, which prevented them from saving nine out of ten of their genius disciples. The more frightening thing was… perhaps even the Masters and Sect Leader at the time have also paid with their lives.

For other sects, whether they were among the Five Unique or first-rate sect like Myriad Appearance Sect, in addition to those who posed as Sect Leaders or Elders, their sects probably have some hidden cultivators who practice in seclusion. They were usually several generations higher than the Sect Leader and the Elders. And more often, the number and strength of these supreme Elders were directly embodied in the sect heritage.

However, Spirit Sword Sect didn’t even have a single supreme Elder. Above Feng Yin, all were already within the ancestral hall, with not a single living person existing, which formed an exceptionally eye-grabbing fault.

Now, it seemed that it was all the result of that catastrophe.

And his Master w.a.n.g Wu, in order to survive during that catastrophe, invented the Non-Phase Method. When his Master said the most important thing in Immortal Cultivation was being strong enough, she wasn’t playing a hoodlum character, but rather words from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps in many people’s eyes, this set of method that covered only defense and survival seemed ridiculous. However, a century ago, when the golden generation almost entirely went extinct, w.a.n.g Wu with mediocre spirit root actually survived. Those talented geniuses were dead while the living w.a.n.g Wu could scourge the world. Which one was better here, one would know it in a glance.

Then, like what Xiao Qi said, his Master loved to stake it all in handling her affairs, it was not because she was hardworking and diligent but purely because, if she didn’t stake it all, it would spell a dead end for her.

In this way, his Master was sincerely a pitiful person… However, a pitiful person must have a hateful place. Of the ten Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, the remaining nine were straight people, and only her constantly stoop lower and lower; it was clear that this person has this innate tendency.

Thinking to this, he heard Xiao Qi sighing. ”Your current generation of Spirit Sword Sect disciples is truly blessed.”

w.a.n.g Lu furrowed his brows. When he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw Xiao Qi tensed up.

Before long, a feminine, icy, unpleasant voice came from behind.

”I’ve finally found you.”

Turning around, w.a.n.g Lu saw a gray-robed brown-faced man. The man seemed to be around thirty or forty years old, well into the middle-aged, yet his eyes seemed to exude the vicissitudes of life… Though w.a.n.g Lu couldn’t accurately judge his cultivation base with his eyesight, he knew that for a cultivator to appear not that young like that, the man should’ve been cultivating for more than hundred years.

The man, even with a smile on his face, did not have a trace of friendliness in him. Behind that man stood a pet.i.te girl dressed in a wide cloak and veiled face and head... However, the hood was topped up with the girl’s two pointy ears. Her stature and figure looked especially familiar.

She was exactly the peak Jindan Stage cat-eared girl that they saw a week ago.

Being caught up by Beast Master School people, w.a.n.g Lu frowned, and then the Sword of Mount Kun naturally appeared in his hand. His cultivation base was still not high, thus he simply couldn’t protect himself from the Jindan Stage expert. However, if coupled with his sword defense, even Jindan Stage expert needed to spend some time to break it.

And that time should be enough for Xiao Qi to open the escape door.

However, that browned faced man actually said, ”We have no malice.”
