BXBX NOVEL Chapter 273: Arrival.
Although the Myriad Sword Sect was a Major Sect overseas, their background was relatively shallow and their ranking was low. If it were not for Myriad Sword, who was an Earth Immortal, the Myriad Sword Sect wouldn’t have their current standing.
An Earth Immortal had a great influence on Major Sects.
An Earth Immortal might only able to survive for 1,000 years, but their legacy and inheritance would remain. Take the Sword Ancestor for example. He was fortunate enough to acquire such an opportunity left behind by Myriad Sword, advancing by leaps and bounds, before finally forming a Primordial Spirit.
Now, the Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master was busy preparing for the Sword Ancestor’s body possession. The atmosphere in the Sect gradually became tense. Many disciples did not know what to do, nor what happened.
“Have you heard? Several Ancestors, who went to the battlefield, have died!”
A disciple gossiped with a lowered voice.
When the fire of life of several Ancestors was extinguished, some disciples, who happened to pass by, saw it with their own eyes. However, since the Sect Master knew that the Sword Ancestor was about to wake up, he did not suppress the matter.
In the eyes of the Sect Master, the fall of several Ancestors was done by other Major Sects. Even if he suppressed the news, those Major Sects, who joined hands, would definitely spread it out.
Since this was the case, why bother hiding it?
On the contrary, the Sect Master didn’t care much. Not to mention the fall of a few Ancestors, even if the number of deaths was doubled, he wouldn’t mind it. Since, as long as the Sword Ancestor was present, the Myriad Sword Sect’s position overseas would remain firm.
As for when the news of the death of several Peak Legend Ancestors spread in the Myriad Sword Sect, the disciples were thrown into an uproar.
“What the hell is the battlefield? First its disciples, then Elders, and now even Ancestors died there? Is the battlefield a dragon’s lair?”
The disciples were terrified, and were very grateful that they didn’t go to the battlefield.
Although there was also fierce fights overseas, as long as one was careful, no one would dare to offend them.
However, the battlefield was different.
How long has it been? But there’s already so many Ancestors that had died!
“Hmph!”
“The Sword Ancestor is about to wake up. By that time, the Sect will rule the world!” Another disciple sneered.
In fact, this matter was deliberately made known by the Sect Master. The fall of several Ancestors was definitely an unprecedented blow to the Sect, so they need to increase the morale of the disciples.
What better way to make the disciple’s morale soar other than the Sword Ancestor’s awakening?
Even after more than 1,000 years, the reputation of the Sword Ancestor was still circulated among the disciples. In fact, it’s not only limited to the Myriad Sword Sect, but also many Major Sects. No one would ignore an existence like the Sword Ancestor.
A Peak Legend that had formed a Primordial Spirit, was definitely one of the most powerful people under the Earth Immortal Realm.
“The Sword Ancestor will awaken?”
“Senior Sword Ancestor is still alive?”
“Of course, the Sword Ancestor has formed a Primordial Spirit. He’s freed from the shackles of his body. Not to mention growing old with unfailing eyes and ears, he could easily survive for 1,000 or 2,000 years.”
The disciples were immediately excited upon hearing such news. The fear and anxiety that were initially caused by the death of the Ancestors, were suddenly gone.
“When the Sword Ancestor wakes up, we would have our revenge for the fallen Ancestors!”
“Yes, the Sword Ancestor will take care of those bastards.”
The disciples suddenly gained back their confidence.
The death of the Ancestors was indeed shocking, but the disciples’ belief in the Sword Ancestor was close to worship. In their opinion, as long as the Sword Ancestor took action, everything would be turned into powder.
Soon, the news of the Sword Ancestor’s awakening had spread all over the Sect. It had even reached the ears of other Major Sects and Rogue Martial Artists.
At this time, the Martial Arts community overseas were spiritedly discussing the topic.
Meanwhile, Su Qin was silently arriving overseas.
Su Qin was standing on a reed leaf and quickly traversed the waters.
Su Qin did not know where the Myriad Sword Sect was, nor how to get there.
Fortunately, Su Qin only needed to use the [Eyes of Truth] to lock onto Li Wan’s Internal Qi and move towards her direction.
“This [Lightweight Art] created by Bodhidharma is interesting. Without consuming True Essence nor Divine Sense, you can still get such extreme speed…”
Su Qin thought silently, while standing on the reed.
The Cultivation technique he was currently using was the [Lightweight Art – Reed Crossing the River] created by the Shaolin Temple Founder.
In the beginning, Su Qin did not bother looking into it. After all, as long as one stepped into the Legend Realm, they could fly through the skies or escape through the ground. How does riding a reed compare to the former?
But when Su Qin rushed overseas, he suddenly had a thought, and found a reed leaf, traveling across the endless seas with it.
The result made Su Qin quite happy.
The [Lightweight Art] completely depended on Su Qin’s strength, and does not consume the slightest amount of the usual fuel for techniques, like True Essence.
Although Su Qin could easily recover his True Essence if he flies, consumption and no consumption were two completely different things.
“It seems that I have underestimated this [Lightweight Art]. It uses and takes advantage of the natural abundance of the Water Element in the sea.”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
Not long after he had entered the Shaolin Temple, he Signed In at the Scripture Pavilion and obtained this [Lightweight Art], but Su Qin had never used it.
But then again, the Shaolin Temple was in the depths of the mainland. Not to mention the sea, even rivers were scarce. Moreover, the number of times Su Qin had left the Shaolin Temple before becoming an Arhat could be counted on one finger. All in all, he really had no use and did not have the conditions to use the [Lightweight Art].
“I’m almost there.”
“I can already feel the World’s Essence Qi gradually rising.” Su Qin had his hands behind his back as he glided across the water, each moment spanning dozens of hundreds of nautical miles. One island, after another, flashed by passed his eyes.
“No wonder there’s so many Legends, even Earth Immortals, overseas.”
“With such an environment, as long as one’s body is not inherently defective, it would only be a matter of time before one become a Grade 9 Martial Artist.”
Su Qin looked slightly emotional.
Even in the Tang Empire, where the vitality was beginning to recover, only three or four out of ten people would have the chance to become Martial Artists. As for the remaining six or seven, they would not be able to form Internal Strength in their lifetime.
“It is said that the overseas’ Cultivation environment, if compared to the prosperous era’s Cultivation environment, the former wouldn’t even compare to a remote corner of the latter…”
Su Qin thought silently in his heart.
“I should be close to the Myriad Sword Sect now.”
Su Qin had always been grasping Li Wan’s Internal Qi through the [Eyes of Truth], so he naturally knew.
“Since the establishment of the Myriad Sword Sect, only two people can threaten me.”
“One is the Earth Immortal Myriad Sword from more than 4,000 years ago.”
Su Qin looked solemn.
An Earth Immortal was already terrifying enough. Much more a Sword Dao Earth Immortal, which had high offensive capabilities.
Alas, in the eyes of Su Qin, this Sword Dao Martial Artist was the least threatening person.
After all, more than 4,000 years had passed. Even if Myriad Sword had great abilities, he would have succumbed of old age a long time ago.
“The second was the Sword Ancestor more than 1,900 years ago. Being able to form a Primordial Spirit, he was the most talented person in the Myriad Sword Sect in it’s later years.”
Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.
The Sword Ancestor was indeed a genius. Unfortunately, he still failed to break through the Earth Immortal bottleneck in the end.
It stands to reason that if an ordinary Peak Legend could survive for more than 1,000 years with a self-preserving technique, the Sword Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit should survive longer and reach close to 2,000 years.
In addition, when Su Qin was beheading the Ancestors of the Myriad Sword Sect, he heard that the Myriad Sword Sect took away Li Wan to awaken the Sword Ancestor and look for a vessel for his Primordial Spirit.
Hence, Su Qin was sure that the Sword Ancestor was most likely struggling at death’s door.
“It seems to that the Demon Buddha was indeed an amazing talent. When he first entered the Arhat Realm, he was able to create the [Demonic Will Split Propagation], despite his weak Divine Sense and survived for more than 900 years…”
Su Qin was surprised at the revelation.
He had a feeling that if it weren’t for Arhat Pao suppressing and sealing the Demon Buddha at all costs, the Shaolin Temple would have been destroyed long ago.
Not only that, but the entire continent would’ve probably fallen under the rule of the Demon Buddha.
While Su Qin was in his thoughts, auras of Martial Artists began to converge from all directions one after another.
The auras ranged from Middle and Upper Realm, to even the Legend Realm.
“What’s happening?”
Su Qin slightly frowned and his huge Divine Sense swept in all directions. After a while, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
“So it’s time for the Myriad Sword Sect to recruit disciples, eh?”
Su Qin stroked his chin.
During his scan, Su Qin discovered the purpose of this group of people that were moving towards the Myriad Sword Sect. It was for a recruitment.
In fact, it’s not only the Myriad Sword Sect that does this, as other Major Sects also needed to maintain fresh blood in their respective Sects. Hence, every once in a while, they would hold a recruitment for new disciples.
This also shows the prosperity of the overseas Martial Arts World.
After all, once one joined a certain Major Sect, one would not only be able to get guidance on their Cultivation, but also be protected by that Sect. Plus, there’s other benefits.
Suddenly, at this time, Su Qin slowly raised his head. He looked at a several hundred li-sized island ahead, and the nine faintly discernible sword-like peaks in the depths of it.
The Myriad Sword Sect!!!
