“I heard you’ve taken the Sword Saint as your master, which I didn’t expect,” Zhou Xue said to Fang Wang, her tone slightly wistful. “I originally thought he would only bestow the Sword Monarch Order upon you.”
This kid always managed to surprise her.
Fang Wang nodded and said, “Although we haven’t been together long, his
Celestial Sword Intent is indeed powerful. Moreover, he passed on the Han Yu
Sword Qi. We should indeed call him master.”
Zhou Xue chuckled lightly and said, “I am naturally aware of the strength of his
Celestial Sword Intent. His reputation to the south overseas is immense, far greater than you’d imagine.”
Fang Wang asked in surprise, “If he is so powerful, why would there still be demons daring to pursue him?”
“The reason why the Sword Saint is known as such is not only because of his strength, but also because he does not kill. Having cultivated for six hundred years, he has never killed a single person or demon. This is also why I let you come here with peace of mind. Great Cultivators like the Sword Saint are rare in the world. The reason I had you conceal your identity was only because there are too many cultivators in Sword Heaven Marsh, and I feared it might cause trouble and affect your Spiritual Refinement. After all, the Sword Saint doesn’t have much time left and could pass away at any moment.”
Zhou Xue’s words brought the visage of the Sword Saint back into Fang Wang’s mind.
His master had never killed a person…
Fang Wang grew even more curious about the Sword Saint’s past.
“By the way, have you met Gu Tianxiong, the father of Gu Li?” Zhou Xue changed the subject and asked.
Fang Wang narrowed his eyes and asked, “Have I met him? Could this also be part of your calculations?”
Zhou Xue smiled and replied, “Gu Tianxiong likes making friends. If you came to Sword Heaven Marsh, it was likely you would meet him. However, he has a penchant for championing others, which is why the Gu Family was destroyed.
They offended the Great Demon King, which eventually led to their downfall. You get along well with Gu Li, and the Gu Family took the initiative to approach you, so go ahead and help them. It’ll save you from a lifetime of regret.”
When she uttered the word ‘regret’, her eyes became time-worn, as if recalling some past events.
Fang Wang secretly felt fortunate that Zhou Xue was his kinswoman. If she were an enemy, it would be terrifying. To know the future is truly fearsome, impossible to guard against.
“Sword Heaven Marsh is not bad. Develop it and turn it into a second residence for the Fang Family. Oh, and if the Sword Saint’s Sword Servants wish to follow you, feel free to accept them. If they’re too much trouble, Han Yu can take charge. ”
After saying this, Zhou Xue turned and walked along the lakeside.
Fang Wang quickly asked, “Where are you going?”
Without turning back, Zhou Xue said, “To give Han Yu a few instructions, then continue heading south to seek a treasure.”
This time, Fang Wang didn’t ask if he could accompany her. If Zhou Xue truly wished to bring him, she would have said so.
“Is she worried about me and came specifically to make sure I’m alright?” Fang Wang watched Zhou Xue’s retreating figure and silently reflected.
But the next second, he quickly dismissed the thought.
Too self-confident!
Isn’t this just a life illusion?
Fang Wang turned and walked toward the opposite side of the lake.
He planned to cultivate in Sword Heaven Marsh for a while, incidentally guiding Fang Hanyu and Song Jinyuan.
Song Jinyuan had been an orphan since childhood. With the Sword Saint’s death, he didn’t know where to go. Invited by Fang Hanyu to join the Fang Family, he hesitated for a while before agreeing, mainly because he wanted to follow Fang Wang. For the Fang Family, gaining a high-level cultivator in Profound Heart Realm was naturally a good thing.
Fang Wang returned to the head of the bridge to continue his cultivation, with Song Jinyuan and Xiao Zi sitting on either side of him, contemplating swords as they gazed at the lake.
Half an hour later, Fang Hanyu found Fang Wang and said that Zhou Xue had already left and that the next time they would meet would probably be at Great Abyss Gate.
Fang Wang just nodded slightly, not saying much.
Seeing this, Fang Hanyu sighed inwardly.
She has feelings, but he is indifferent!
In his view, Zhou Xue’s visit was clearly a special trip out of concern for Fang Wang, and her affection didn’t need to be stated explicitly.
Yet Fang Wang feigned ignorance, and Fang Hanyu wondered who was hidden in his heart.
Fang Hanyu watched Fang Wang’s back, lost in thought for a while before departing.
Although he received the inheritance of the Sword Saint’s Sword Qi, his mastery of the Sword Dao was not yet strong enough. He had been sparring and exchanging ideas with other Sword Servants lately.
The Sword Servants had followed the Sword Saint to Sword Heaven Marsh.
Even though the Sword Saint was gone, after witnessing Fang Wang’s Celestial Sword Intent, they regarded Fang Wang as the new Sword Saint and were willing to continue following him. Because of Fang Wang, they were also very friendly towards Fang Hanyu.
Zhou Xue’s arrival was just a minor interlude.
Aside from the Sword Servants, nearly a hundred Sword Cultivators hadn’t left, including Gu Tianxiong. They were all very interested in Fang Wang, wanting to see how he cultivated. Fang Wang didn’t let them down either, occasionally gathering everyone to teach them about Celestial Sword Intent. As for how much they could comprehend, it depended on their destiny, and his magnanimity further earned their respect.
Eight months later, Fang Wang made a breakthrough to the third layer of the Profound Heart Realm.
By now, the Sword Servants of Sword Heaven Marsh were completely convinced by Fang Hanyu. Relying on the Lifespirit Treasure bestowed by the Sword Saint, his aptitude for swordsmanship was incredibly high. In half a year’s time, he learned several exquisite sets of swordsmanship and now could easily wield the Sword Saint’s Sword Qi, sweeping away most cultivators at his level in the Profound Heart Realm with ease.
Under Fang Wang’s guidance, Song Jinyuan also gradually sensed the existence of the Celestial Sword Intent. Fully comprehending it was still difficult for him, but at least he had hope and wasn’t dispirited anymore.
He even harbored a wild thought in his heart.
That was, Fang Wang’s attainments in Celestial Sword Intent exceeded those of his master, the Sword Saint!
Having followed the Sword Saint for so many years, he had barely begun to glimpse the threshold, yet after half a year of cultivating with Fang Wang, he could feel a hint of it…
On this day.
