626 Not All The Time (2/2)
A sigh could be heard just as he was about to stand up. At that moment, a fierce and old voice spoke into his ears.
”Are you unhappy?”
Feng Taiji's heart jumped, looking around in shock. However, there was no one to be seen.
Of course he was unwilling, how could he be happy to see others step on him with their feet?
”Your Senior Brother Leidong has left the Cloud World to go to the outer region. Is Feng Taiji willing to head to the outer region? Many worlds can help you train your sword path!”
Outer region?
Feng Taiji's pupils constricted. He took in a deep breath, changing from sitting to kneeling as he bowed down.
”Disciple is wiling, Senior please allow me!”
The voice no longer spoke into his ears and his expression returned back to normal.
His mind once again calmed down. He had placed down all honor and humiliation, everything he gained and lost. He subconsciously touched his waist.
Whatever a Sword Sect disciple wanted, as expected they could only ask for it from the sword.
At this moment, in the sky of the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat...
An old man retracted his gaze from the Sword Chasing Mountain.
”This kid has a good heart and as expected he didn't disappoint.”
The tone was filled with satisfaction but when the old man looked to the side, it was filled with contempt.
”Who knew that there would be a time when you would be at the losing end of a deal!”
There was no one around, just a sword. However, shaking the sword body and causing the metal to clang, the tone could also change.
”Since he joined our Sect than we will feel glory and humiliation together...”
It seemed like he didn't answer the question but the old man knew what he meant. His words were simply too inappropriate. If people in the Sect heard that, wasn't he afraid they would be unhappy?
He is lips curled up, ”Since you have already done the matter then you must naturally allow others to speak about it. This Feng Taiji is truly far weaker than this person!”
Other people might not know but he knew. Tanqiu from Common People Path and Zong Shou from Gantian Mountain were the same person.
Sword sect was just a step away from recruiting him. However at that time Feng Taiji merged spirit and martial arts, shocking the sects. Thus they made such a deal, what a pity!
Looking back at it a few years later, Zong Shou could fight Shui Lingbo, Yuan Wushang and the other four and not lose. On the other hand, Feng Taiji could only look on from the side, without the right to even join in.
It was right to say that it was a huge loss.
Apart from being really skilled in his sword techniques, one had to mention that Gantian Mountain was rising up.
Balancing the pros and cons, one could metaphorically illustrate the situation through the phrase 'to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel'.
At this moment there were already people grumbling within the Sword Sect. Although they didn't say it upfront, he knew that many people felt regretful about it.
”Even if it was wrong, it was my fault. That deal had nothing to do with Feng Taiji!”
The voice was firm, then the sword shadow flashed and sped into the void. Only leaving a voice, ”What matters isn't now but the long term. The cultivation path is long and far, who knows what will happen in the future. Zong Shou is decent but he has barriers from Heaven, now he only broke a human barrier. Whether he can break the next one is an unknown factor. Feng Taiji suffering this defeat might not be a good thing. As for you, before the Spiritual Wave arrives, everything will change. You guarding the Cloud World, you have to be even more careful!”
”I don't need you to say!”
The old man smiled and then shook his head. That was true, after the Spirit Realm, cultivation was measured in hundreds and thousands of years.
At this moment, the wins and losses didn't amount to much.
Thinking back to Zong Shou, who knows whether this kid could cross the Heaven Barrier?
He was already a Grade-8 Martial Cultivator and a Grade-9 Spirit Master. That pass was right in front of his eyes.

The aura was dark, Jueyu forcefully sucked in a breath. Walking from the Cloud World into the void outside of it.
He also totally tossed aside the chasing Spiritual Senses behind him.
Three days and nights of intense fighting, escaping, counter-attacking... Even someone as resilient as him felt exhausted as if about to fall asleep at any moment.
His current body was tough to look at; wounds everywhere and nearly falling apart. His veins and meridians were in chaos.
Jueyu bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up. Then, he rotated his remaining internal energy to heal his injuries.
However, following this, his eyes froze up as he looked at the dark void in the distance.
”Why are you in such a bad state?”
Along with the voice, a person stepped out, his face wearing a smile that deserved a beating as he looked over with a mocking expression.
Actually he himself wasn't in much of a better state, his body covered in wounds. However, it was a little better than Jueyu...
Jueyu took a look and felt that it was expected whilst also a little unexpected, ”You really went to Liao King palace?”
