Chapter 228: This Is A Serious Inquiry

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

On the Stellar Peak of Spirit Sword Mountain in the Blue River Region, Spirit Sword Sect Sect Leader Daoist Master Feng Yin and his disciple Zhu s.h.i.+yao were sitting opposite of each other in the bamboo room. The water vapor slowly rose from the two cups of tea that were placed between the two of them, in line with the tranquil atmosphere of bamboo room—were it not for the row of anxious Elders of Spirit Sword Hall who stood there.

Feeling uncomfortable after a long time being stared at by his Junior Brothers and Sisters, Feng Yin finally broke the silence, ”Why don’t you explain to us in details about your experiential learning in the Southern Heaven Region.”

”Yes.”

The always difficult to talk Zhu s.h.i.+yao calmly accepted the instruction. Then, the woman suddenly arose and brandished her sword. Her movement was like the pa.s.sing of clouds and the flowing of water. The room was suddenly lit up with pieces of stellar light. Numerous sharp sword qis swooped towards the Sect Leader; the sharp sword intent seemed to want to make mincemeat out of the target.

However, would a Deity Stage cultivator be easily hurt like that? When the stellar sword qis clashed against the Sect Leader’s body, they produced numerous brilliant sparks, yet they were unable to damage even the hem of the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader was motionless as he held up the cup and just slightly nodded.

”Mm, so that’s how it is. It was an unexpected result indeed.”

With that, Feng Yin became lost in thought. As for Zhu s.h.i.+yao, after she retrieved her sword, she took a breath, calmed herself down and then calmly sat down, lightly holding her own cup.

Calm restored to the interior of the bamboo room. After a long time...

”What the h.e.l.l! Can’t the two of you talk!”

The nearby Fifth Elder finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped forward a few steps and fiercely pounded the wooden table. ”You two want to show off how good your foreign language is!?”

Daoist Master Feng Yin was startled and immediately apologized, ”I forgot you don’t understand the language of the sword.”

For Feng Yin and Zhu s.h.i.+yao, this was the most convenient way to communicate. In fact, with the sword, a single sword strike could describe a thousand words, which was convenient and fast. And this was also in line with their ident.i.ty as sword cultivators.

It was just that, to be able to communicate with the sword, one has to have enough keen sense of the sword; in other words, one’s talent in the way of the sword must be extremely high. However, not all Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall could satisfy this condition.

”Well, I’ll just briefly talk about Yao’Er’s experience, as well as my a.n.a.lysis.” Daoist Master Feng Yin put down the cup of tea and pondered for a moment. ”Yao’Er’s experiential learning process was very simple. While other people entered through the main entrance of the tomb, working hard to pa.s.s through levels, Yao’Er found a path that directly brought her to the treasure room to take out the ancient sword and walk away.”

”What in the h.e.l.l is this?” Fifth Elder was inexplicably surprised. ”After untold hards.h.i.+ps from separation and parents, finally, the childhood sweetheart for twenty years managed to get married. However, when the groom enters the bridal chamber, he finds that the bride has actually been pregnant with someone else’s child?”

”If you must use vulgar language to explain it, then it’s like that…” Daoist Master Feng Yin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; he shook his head and said, ”After spending so much effort, the coalition force of Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect finally managed to rush into the treasure room. But, when they tried to get rid of Yao’Er, unfortunately, Yao’Er has already marked the ancient sword, and her sword momentum has reached its peak. Therefore, although they were many, they were exhausted after trying to break through three levels of ancient sword tomb in succession. Moreover, they lost their calm because of their anger in seeing Yao’Er with the sword, therefore, under Yao’Er’s sword, they were all full of flaws.”

”They failed to rob and got beaten instead. It’s really brutal.” Fifth Elder was happy about other people’s misfortune.

The youngest one, Hua Yun, asked, ”Wouldn’t there be a problem? After all, this is not a small loss.”

Feng Yin said, ”The sword tomb exploration depends on one’s own chance. Yao’Er didn’t use any despicable trick, so it can only be said that each has their own chance. The sword tomb on the Southern Heaven Region is an ancient tomb inherited from time immemorial. This time, it appeared because it was induced by the change in the world’s energy; from the void, it awoke to find a suitable successor. There are usually two ways to inherit this tomb, which is similar to our sect recruitment of disciples. The first is to meet the rigid standard: Age, malleability, Immortal Cultivation idea… it’s also to pa.s.s the test of many levels. As long as one can get pa.s.s the level checkpoints, one can take the corresponding treasure. The second is to have a fate with the tomb—one would gain direct approval to take the treasure without taking any of the tests. The first one is actually the necessary supplement of the second one. If the tomb couldn’t find a suitable successor, it could pa.s.s itself on to the others by opening up the test for other partic.i.p.ants.”

Fang He said, ”Which is the difference between Immortal Gathering and Elders looking for their disciples themselves.”

w.a.n.g Wu laughed. ”It’s trying to find the perfect lover, but when unable to, open oneself to a blind date?”
