Chapter 909 Yuan Borrows the Sword from His Ancestor's Name
In a wondrous spectacle beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, streams of light, like silk threads, were seen constantly moving through fragmented moments of time and space, connecting them little by little and restoring them to their original positions.
The chaotic 'past' is being restored, and...
It's reached the final stage.
"Holy Emperor Abyss..."
Within one of these time segments, perhaps due to the convergence of time and space, the 'past' and 'future' connect.
The sky and the edge of the world gradually became illusory, and the countless stars were swallowed up little by little.
In a somewhat dilapidated yet vibrant small town.
Zhang Yunlu stared at the young man standing in front of a small house not far in front of her.
Short hair, dark eyes, and a black trench coat.
He gazed at the night sky, looking at the bright full moon.
The moonlight was lonely.
Just by looking at him, one can almost feel the loneliness and melancholy in his heart.
"So he really was a time traveler..."
Zhang Yunlu glanced at the black trench coat he was wearing, which seemed out of place in this era, and thought to herself.
She had heard this saying when she was still in high school at Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School.
I didn't think much of it at the time.
"Ah~"
But then Yuan sighed and took out a small, square red box, which he then opened.
however……
But there was nothing inside.
He instinctively reached for the box in his hand, but quickly realized what he was doing and carefully put the small box away.
After looking around for a while, he finally picked up a small, chopstick-sized stick from a corner beside him.
He dusted it off.
Snapped!
He snapped his fingers, conjured a small flame, lit it, took a satisfying drag, and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"You can't even buy a cigarette in this godforsaken place."
Yuan muttered a complaint and walked to a stone table in front of the house, sitting down with a sense of helplessness.
He took out an old wooden box from the storage ring that Ning Wanzhu had given him.
This was a gift from the town's mayor.
It is said to be a 'treasure of the true immortals'.
Ostensibly, it was to thank Yuan for thwarting the scheme of the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect's body cultivators, but in reality...
It was all to bribe Yuan so that Yuan wouldn't reveal his collusion with that body cultivator.
"You fool, even if I beat you to death, you're still mine!"
This sudden remark left Zhang Yunlu, who was standing nearby, somewhat bewildered.
But Yuan can't even see Zhang Yunlu now, so he's even less likely to explain.
Then I saw him open the wooden box in his hand.
Take out a thread-bound book with a bright yellow cover that gleams faintly.
The pages are made of a somewhat flexible material that feels cool to the touch, indicating that the material used is quite special.
"Is it really a 'treasure of the immortals'?"
Extraordinary powers exist in this world.
Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and so on...
He himself even cultivated to the second level of Qi Refining during this period.
True Immortal Treasure...
That sounds pretty awesome!
Yuan, full of anticipation, turned to the first page.
But when he saw it clearly, his expression froze.
A shimmering light appeared, and several large characters and some symbols were neatly arranged on the upper half of the page—
The Universe in the Sleeve
If that were all, it wouldn't have stunned him.
What truly broke his composure was the symbol above those four words—
xiù lǐ qián kūn
???
No!
Is that correct?
They've even included the pinyin!
It's one thing that it has a sun and a moon, but it also uses simplified Chinese characters, which is tolerable.
But now they've even included pinyin! Is this really reasonable?!
Did I actually time travel or not?!
Don't tell me I traveled through time instead of the world!
Yuan cursed inwardly.
Zhang Yunlu, standing nearby, was even more puzzled.
It's just a secret manual of magical powers hidden in a sleeve. Although it's rare to see such a document written on paper, it shouldn't be presented like this, right?
And this is only the first page!
……
……
Although they are both time travelers.
And they all came from the same place.
But perhaps because of their different initial experiences, the two have very different mindsets.
As for Xu Xing, he also wanted to go home.
But the world needs him more.
Along the way, he witnessed the pain of his teachers and friends, and the expectations and prayers of countless people.
He cannot and will not leave.
At least not until everything has settled down.
For Yuan, this time travel was completely inexplicable.
His elderly parents are waiting for him to take care of them, and his sudden disappearance would worry his relatives and friends.
Furthermore, since he has no ties in this world, he naturally has no attachment to it.
Therefore, from the moment he arrived in the Tai Xuan Realm, he thought about going home every single moment.
but……
Wanting to go home is one thing, but whether or not you can go back is another.
At the second level of Qi Refining, he was just a nobody.
Even the previous thwarting of that body cultivator's conspiracy was only achieved with the help of a powerful figure from the Lingyin Pavilion.
Not to mention finding a way back.
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, he could only try to stand higher and go further.
……
……
The most brilliant person in a thousand years.
No one can deny this assessment.
In the more than a thousand years since the rise of cultivation in Yuan, all geniuses have paled in comparison.
In the later "Biography of the Holy Emperor", Yuan had never been defeated since he began his cultivation. He punched the prodigy of the Sword Sect and kicked the son of the True Immortal of the Supreme Dao Sect, making even the True Immortal take notice of him.
emm...
There are actually some errors and omissions.
When Yuan first started cultivating, he failed quite a few times.
As for beating up the Sword Sect's prodigy with his fists, kicking the son of a True Immortal with his feet, and making the True Immortal take notice...
That's something that can barely be considered true.
Huo is also a true immortal!
In short, after solving the problems in the 'newbie village' and obtaining the key item 'True Immortal Treasure'...
Yuan then began to search everywhere for the origin of the 'True Immortal Treasure' in his possession.
However, being only at the second level of Qi Refining, he only came into contact with Qi Refining cultivators.
The Tai Xuan Blood Calamity occurred more than three thousand years ago, and even Xu Xing's active period was more than a hundred years ago.
For advanced cultivators, this might be a vivid memory.
But for these cultivators who only reach the Qi Refining stage, that's truly a legendary thing.
After searching for a long time, he not only failed to get the answer he wanted, but was also hunted down many times by some cultivators with ulterior motives.
Finally, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he met Ning Wanzhu again and learned the truth from her.
The 'Treasure of True Immortals' in his hand came from the True Immortal Ancestor of the Sword Sect, also known as the Sword Ancestor.
The Sword Ancestor once unleashed a bloodbath that swept across the entire continent, and made some inexplicable moves in an attempt to change the whole world.
Ultimately, it ended in failure.
More than a hundred years ago, they completely disappeared...
Have they disappeared without a trace?
Could he have been murdered?
This was Yuan's first thought after hearing everything.
After all, what the Sword Ancestor was about to do clearly touched upon the interests of the vast majority of people.
Shot thirteen times in the back and then committing suicide—acute copper poisoning is nothing out of the ordinary.
However, as soon as he voiced his guess, Ning Wanzhu gave him a serious warning.
Basically, it's about how the Sword Ancestor is invincible in the world, and no one can harm him...
However, Yuan had never been in contact with high-level cultivators before, so he took Ning Wanzhu's words as a reminder.
It is not conducive to...
Ahem! In short, after Ning Wanzhu's explanation, Yuan finally confirmed that the Sword Sect's True Immortal Ancestor was also a transmigrator.
And there's a high chance they're from the same place.
For various reasons, he ultimately decided to avoid the Sword Sect.
It's very simple.
People from the same hometown don't necessarily have tears in their eyes when they meet.
It's always good to be cautious.
This mindset persisted until he returned to a state of emptiness.
He first learned more about Xu Xing in Tingyu Tower, and then learned about that distant and difficult era from Ning Wanzhu, one of his senior sisters.
Although the existence of the 'Cang Clan' was not mentioned, that was enough for Yuan.
There may be some ideological conflicts among true immortals.
But the principles they hold in their hearts are the same!
The Sword Ancestor was assassinated...
This speculation is utterly baseless.
The main reason is that after his cultivation reached the Void Returning stage, he finally realized that the gap between cultivators would become larger as they progressed.
Immortal.
He is the most powerful True Immortal recognized by the Tai Xuan Realm. Who has the ability to harm him?
And so, an idea was born in his mind—
The fox borrows the tiger's power.
In the years since he came to the Tai Xuan Realm, he has encountered too many things that he could not stand but was powerless to change.
Returning to Emptiness...
Although he could be called a 'great cultivator', in the eyes of those high-level cultivators in the current Tai Xuan Realm, he was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Trying to change the world by returning to the void is like an ant trying to move a planet.
But if you add the title of 'Sword Ancestor', then there's no problem at all.
It may be a bit risky, but it's worth it!
After he did this, the resistance he encountered when implementing certain measures was significantly reduced.
It's not that Yuan's methods were particularly clever.
In fact, many high-level cultivators saw through it and realized that he was likely bluffing.
but……
What if?
What if the Sword Ancestor really is standing behind him?
The Sword Ancestor won't let you go just because you beg for mercy; once you're caught, you're dead!
Nobody dares to gamble!
Those who dared to gamble were all killed during the 'Tai Xuan Blood Calamity'.
Even if it's fake.
This Yuan is so audacious that he dares to use the name of the 'Sword Ancestor'.
He should be allowed to deceive us.
Yuan's series of actions also caught the attention of one person—
惑！
……
……
"I thought we were already friends."
His tone was full of regret, even a hint of resentment.
"..."
sunny.
A teahouse in a small town, a window seat on the second floor.
Yuan and Ning Wanzhu sat facing each other.
Looking at the passerby who had already walked downstairs, completely unaware of what he had just said, Yuan's face turned extremely ugly.
"What exactly do you want to do!" he gritted his teeth.
A beautiful woman dressed in a traditional Chinese dress came to the table and served them tea and snacks.
It makes a sound that is completely inconsistent with its appearance.
"Didn't I say I just wanted to be friends with you?"
deep:"……"
You're so...
Is this how you make friends?!
They've been bothering me for half a year!
“Senior is a true immortal, while I am merely a Dao cultivator. I dare not befriend you.”
This is incredibly annoying.
It's been half a year now, and she keeps nagging in his ear every day, asking this and that.
He's almost having a nervous breakdown!
"So what if you're a true immortal?"
Then a gray-clad man with an ordinary appearance and a gentle demeanor walked up from the first floor and sat down next to him quite naturally.
Ning Wanzhu, who was opposite, was about to get up and bow when Huo waved his hand to stop her.
He picked up a pastry and smiled:
"What you are doing now is something that even my fellow Daoist couldn't accomplish."
Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"If it were just me, I definitely couldn't have done it."
He didn't say it explicitly.
Before this, he had also used this ambiguous approach to convince those high-level cultivators that he had the shadow of the Sword Ancestor behind him.
"There's no need to say these things in front of me," Huo said with a smile.
"My fellow Daoist is currently in seclusion to handle a very important matter, and it will be quite some time before he emerges."
"..."
Yuan remained silent for a while.
He already knew from Ning Wanzhu that the person in front of him was one of the Tai Xuan True Immortals.
The legendary progenitor of demonic cultivation!
"Weren't you injured by the Sword Ancestor back then? Yet... you don't seem to resent him?"
That's quite a bold question.
Even Ning Wanzhu, sitting opposite, felt a jolt of unease.
"Resent him?"
Huo didn't seem to care about Yuan's somewhat offensive question and put down the tea and snacks in his hands.
"I did something wrong, so what right do I have to blame him?"
"Besides, I'm not qualified."
interesting.
The relationships between these true immortals seem to be different from those in the legends.
After a pause, Yuan asked again:
"Why does the senior keep following me?"
His tone was exceptionally serious.
He genuinely couldn't understand it.
No matter what, he was a true immortal, yet he was entangled with himself for half a year over such an absurd reason.
Are you kidding me?!
"I've already told you, I just want to be friends with you," Huo said helplessly.
He was telling the truth, so why doesn't anyone believe him?
"..."
Yuan hesitated for two seconds, and in order to get rid of the temptation as soon as possible, he finally made the decision that he would regret for hundreds of years.
"Then I'll be friends with you, senior!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Ning Wanzhu across from him.
"But Wanzhu and I still have some things to take care of. Next time I'll talk to... uh..."
"Huo," Huo said with a smile, "that's my name."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Let's get together again next time."
"it is good."
Huo was surprisingly easy to talk to, which relieved Yuan, who quickly pulled Ning Wanzhu downstairs.
Huo sat by the window in the teahouse.
Watching the two disappear into the distance, he reached out, picked up the pastry he had just eaten, took a bite, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He had noticed Yuan a long time ago, after all, he even dared to use the name of his fellow Daoist.
This goes beyond simply being 'bold'.
Not only him, but I believe the other fellow Daoists are the same.
Since they last tried to stop their fellow Daoist from leaving seclusion, they haven't entered any deeper levels of seclusion, so it's impossible that they didn't notice Yuan.
But if that's really the case...
Why is there no reaction from the Sword Sect?
The vast majority of high-level cultivators' fear of Yuan stems largely from this.
Sword Master!
The Sword Ancestor's senior sister.
If Yuan is truly using the name of the Sword Ancestor, shouldn't the Sword Master have reacted completely?
Thinking it over, Huo withdrew his gaze and sighed softly:
"Has she tacitly agreed...?"
If we're talking about who understands Daoist Brother, Sword Master is second to none.
Sword Master did not stop them.
This means she felt that even if her Daoist brother hadn't gone into seclusion, she wouldn't mind Yuan using his name. (End of Chapter)
