The Sword Saint is looking forward to seeing me?
Fang Wang was secretly surprised. He hesitated whether he should reveal his true identity or not, but then he recalled Zhou Xue’s words. Zhou Xue had advised him to hide his surname and stay low profile; there must be a reason for it.
On the way that followed, the man in yellow wouldn’t stop talking. At first, Fang Wang thought the man was intentionally giving him pointers, but later he realized the man was just grumbling.
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense had passed.
Under the guidance of the man in yellow. Fang Wang arrived at a pavilion by.
the lakeside. The lake in front of the pavilion was dense with lotuses, mist enshrouded the area, intermittently revealing and hiding itself, adding to the aura of a mystical realm.
“This lake area has a natural Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein buried deep underground, drawn to the surface by the Sword Saint using a Sword Array. You can conduct your Spiritual Refinement here, stay as long as you like.” Having said that, the man in yellow turned and left.
Fang Wang bowed with his hands clasped and then stepped onto the wooden platform by the lakeside. The platform in front of the pavilion was simple, with a broken bridge directly in front of it, resembling a sword thrust into the lotus-filled lake area.
Fang Wang didn’t enter the pavilion but walked onto the wooden bridge to admire the beautiful scenery before him.
The fog was thick, the scene ethereal and stunning. It couldn’t obscure the majestic posture of the mountains on the opposite bank. The lotus blossoms swayed slightly in the breeze, and occasionally, redfish would jump out of the water as though trying to break free from fate and leap up to become dragons.
Xiao Zi wormed out of Fang Wang’s embrace and climbed towards the pavilion behind them. Fang Wang didn’t stop Xiao Zi but sat down to meditate on the spot.
He had already used his divine sense to investigate the pavilion behind him; no one was there, nor were there any mice or bugs. There wasn’t a soul for miles around, and he was far away from the Sword Saint’s Sword Servants. Here it was quiet and undisturbed.
Taking in the scenery of Sword Heaven Marsh, Fang Wang suddenly found himself liking this place. There were no rules, no conflicts—it indeed was an ideal spot for cultivation. Perhaps this was why so many Sword Cultivators were willing to serve as Sword Servants.
Half an hour later, Fang Wang closed his eyes and began his practice.
To undertake Spiritual Refinement, he first had to sense the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein beneath the lake.
As he closed his eyes, day turned to night and the days passed, with the thick fog on the lake swirling quickly and the clouds in the sky churning dramatically. It was as if the world had pressed the fast-forward button.
In the blink of an eye.
A month had passed in a flash.
That afternoon, Xiao Zi lay on a lotus basking in the sun when it suddenly sensed something and looked up sharply, seeing spiritual energy from nature swirling towards Fang Wang, forming a visible whirlwind around him. “Is he really going to conduct Spiritual Refinement?”
Xiao Zi was secretly astonished, as it had thought Fang Wang was just fooling Gu Tianxiong, especially since Fang Wang already possessed two Lifespirit Treasures.
It hadn’t expected…
Three Lifespirit Treasures…
Xiao Zi recalled a legend it had seen in the Great Saint’s Grotto -Heaven, and hope shone in its eyes.
After a month, Fang Wang had finally sensed the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein. His Treasured Spirit Space began to tremble; he had finally found the feeling for Spiritual Refinement.
He was about to conduct Spiritual Refinement now!
Threads of Solaris True Fire exuded from his body, twirling around his form, rushing towards his crown and converging there.
Meanwhile.
Tens of miles away by another lakeside, Gu Tianxiong and several Sword Cultivators followed a young boy along a corridor; among them was unmistakably Fang Hanyu.
Fang Hanyu, blindfolded, walked at the very end of the group.
Gu Tianxiong, as jovial as ever, chatted cheerfully with the accompanying Sword Cultivators.
Fang Hanyu, however, was quietly admiring the lake scenery beside him, not saying a word.
As they rounded a corner of the corridor, a woman’s voice came from ahead: “Song Jinyuan, it’s time to come out and practice your sword. How long will you indulge in self-pity? Although the Sword Saint hasn’t said anything, his refusal to summon you is a clear sign of his displeasure.”
Gu Tianxiong and his companions fell silent and turned to look. They saw a simply dressed woman with long hair tied into a ponytail and two swords at her waist, exuding a spirited energy. She stood in front of a house, her brows tightly knit.
Seeing Gu Tianxiong and the others approach, she stepped forward to make way.
The boy nodded slightly at her and then brushed past.
The group walked past the front of the house, and before they were far away, a mocking voice came from inside: “Practice the sword? What’s the use? Sword Dao insight, Sword Dao’s heart—compared to the grade of a Lifespirit Treasure, they are nothing. The heavens have already set the rules for us…”
Song Jinyuan!
The Sword Saint’s direct disciple!
Hearing his words, the group said nothing and carried on their way.
After walking a hundred steps, one of the Sword Cultivators finally sighed and said, “When Song Jinyuan returned to Da Qi with the Sword Saint, he flaunted his might by sweeping through the disciples of the Nine Great Sects of the same realm with the sword in his hands—how dashing he was back then, but now he’s ended up like this… Alas!”
Another Sword Cultivator added, “It can’t be helped, the Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure. Lu Yuanjun, with just a medium-grade Earth Origin Spirit Treasure, has made a name for himself in the Da Qi Cultivation Realm, and can even battle across different levels of cultivation. By comparison, you can’t even imagine how strong a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure is.”
The other Sword Cultivators also sighed, the Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure had become well-known throughout the Da Qi Cultivation Realm. In the last two years, the name Fang Wang had become so prominent that cultivators felt as if his name was thunder echoing in their ears.
