Chapter 320: Grandpa Wan Jian.
As the Ancestors and Legends shuddered from Su Qin’s terrifying strength, Su Qin had already returned to the Palace.
Emperor Li Sheng, Su Yueyun and others immediately surrounded him. However, they were hesitating on whether they should say anything, and instead just closely stared at Su Qin.
“If you have any questions, just ask.” Su Qin smiled warmly. After entering the Earth Immortal Realm, his every action was in harmony with the Heavens and Earth. Even if it held no aura, it could still make people’s hearts palpitate.
The stronger one’s strength, the clearer the experience for the other people.
“Third Brother, what appeared in front of us during that time was…” Emperor Li Sheng had finally mustered up the courage and cautiously asked.
“That’s my incarnation.” Su Qin replied calmly.
Before becoming an Earth Immortal, Su Qin needed to conceal the existence of his incarnation. After all, incarnations were only available to Earth Immortals.
But now, there was no longer a need for it.
“Incarnation…”
Emperor Li Sheng blinked.
“Don’t worry, the incarnation is still me, there is no difference.” Su Qin patiently explained.
“My Lord, has the Earth Immortal from the Thunder God Sect died completely?” Fei Yu asked tentatively, when he saw that no one asked any questions.
“Yes.” Su Qin slightly nodded.
After completely burning Lei Xuanzi into nothingness, Su Qin constantly rechecked the area. He even used the [Eyes of Truth] at the end, to further confirm that Lei Xuanzi’s Qi had completely been annihilated.
How could Su Qin not know about eradicating the roots, when it’s something that even the Martial Artists in the Lower Realms knew?
“That’s good.” Fei Yu and several other Legends breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, they were worried that Lei Xuanzi had escaped with his Primordial Spirit and would retaliate in the future. But now, it seemed that Su Qin had long since erased their worries.
“Third Uncle, you are really too strong. Even Grandpa Wan Jian can’t compare to you…” Li Wan said excitedly.
“Grandpa Wan Jian?”
Su Qin was slightly taken aback.
The next moment, Su Qin checked the Sword Intent in Li Wan’s body.
This was said to be one of the inheritances of Myriad Sword, and it was extremely precious.
When Su Qin brought Li Wan back, he also carefully checked the Sword Intent, but did not see anything. This Sword Intent was already extremely illusory. Even if it was parasitized in Li Wan’s body, it would only last for hundreds of years at most. Hundreds of years later, this Sword Intent would completely collapse.
However, at this moment, when Su Qin completely stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm and rechecked the Sword Intent, he discovered a scene that he had never seen before.
“Humph!”
A hint of coldness appeared on Su Qin’s face. He then raised his right hand and pressed down lightly.
In an instant, the Sword Intent in Li Wan’s body was forcibly pulled out by Su Qin.
The Sword Intent rolled over and over, before finally turning into a middle-aged man with an illusory figure, as well as sword-like eyes.
“Myriad Sword?”
[T/N: Wan Jian and Myriad Sword are basically the same, I’ll just use the two interchangeably depending on who’s speaking]
Su Qin looked at the illusory middle-aged man.
Although Su Qin had never seen Myriad Sword, he was certain that the illusory middle-aged man was the same one.
Further, apart from him, who else could exude such pure Sword Intent?
“The Master has long since fallen. I am, but a Sword Spirit left by the Master.” The illusory middle-aged man sighed and said truthfully.
The so-called Sword Spirit was something created by Sword Dao Earth Immortals by dividing a part of their Primordial Spirit and then refining them, just like one would to an artifact.
In a certain way, the Sword Spirit was an independent being, which had nothing to do with Myriad Sword. However, it may have inherited some of his memories and formed a brand new life.
Sword Spirits were not a race, but more like a spiritual life.
Of course, there were many ways to create a Sword Spirit. The most common one was that after a sword had experienced thousands of years, a spirit would naturally be born.
It’s just that this method would take too long, at least 10,000 years would need to pass before this could happen. Further, since the aura of the illusory middle-aged man came from the same source as Myriad Sword, it was only possible that Myriad Sword refined a part of his Primordial Spirit.
“Sword Spirit?”
Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed, but he believed most of it in his heart.
Logically speaking, Myriad Sword had already died of old age after 4,000 years, so how could he still live to this day?
If this was indeed a Sword Spirit, it would make sense.
A spiritual life could easily live for thousands of years.
“Why did Myriad Sword leave you here?” Su Qin asked calmly, with a calm expression on his face.
“The Master hopes to pass on his inheritance.” The illusory middle-aged man responded immediately. He was very cooperative.
After all, with Su Qin’s strength, even Myriad Sword more than 4,000 years ago would not be able to beat him, let alone a mere Sword Spirit?
Therefore, if a middle-aged man wanted to live, the only thing he could do was to answer any question from Su Qin.
“Pass down his inheritance?”
“Isn’t the Myriad Sword Sect the inheritance of Myriad Sword?”
Su Qin asked noncommittally.
“Myriad Sword Sect?”
The illusory middle-aged man shook his head and said: “The Myriad Sword Sect is not an inheritance left by the Master. It was founded by a descendant, who discovered his cave dwelling. That someone then learned a few techniques, then boasted that it was the Sect established by the Master.”
As the middle-aged man said this, a trace of contempt flashed on his face.
“So that’s how it is.”
Su Qin wore a thoughtful look hearing this.
This explains why the Myriad Sword Sect was so weak. Even their strongest person, the Sword Ancestor, had just formed his Primordial Spirit.
While Su Qin was talking with the Sword Spirit left by Myriad Sword, the people next to him were stunned.
The news that the illusory middle-aged man said was definitely a big secret in the overseas Martial Arts World.
Especially for Fei Yu. He never thought that the Myriad Sword Sect was not the inheritance sect left by Myriad Sword, but was only occupied by his descendants.
“It’s no wonder that the Witch King from the Witch Sect had ‘visited’ the Myriad Sword Sect 3,000 years ago. Perhaps at that time, the Witch King had already discovered that the Myriad Sword Sect was not a real inheritance sect of Myriad Sword and left, as he lost interest.”
One thought after another thought flashed in Fei Yu’s mind.
“Then I trust that you residing in Li Wan’s body is just to teach her the inheritance of Myriad Sword, right?”
Su Qin looked at the illusory middle-aged man with a half-smile.
“That’s right.”
The illusory middle-aged man looked solemn: “Although Wan’er’s talent is only to the extent of the Sword Heart Body, her understanding of the way of the sword is inconceivable. More than that of the Sword Ancestor!”
“That Sword Ancestor had studied for hundreds of years without getting started, but Wan’er not only did it much faster, but in just a few years, she has surpassed him…” The middle-aged man’s tone suddenly became frantic.
With Li Wan’s aptitude, if she followed the path, step by step and accepted the inheritance of Myriad Sword, in, at most, 400 years, she would be able to surpass the Sword Ancestor and tackle the Earth Immortal Realm.
As for whether or not she could step into the Earth Immortal Realm, no one could guarantee this. Even Myriad Sword entering the Earth Immortal Realm was a fluke, and it could not be replicated.
In fact, even in the last Prosperous Era, no one dared to say for certain that they would definitely become an Earth Immortal.
If one wanted to step into the Earth Immortal Realm, talent and understanding were important, but luck was also indispensable.
“Really?”
Su Qin’s Great domain spread along with his Primordial Spirit Strength. After confirming that the illusory middle-aged man did not lie, he continued: “Alright, the last question.”
“Please ask.”
The illusory middle-aged man continued: “As long as I know it, I will not hide anything…”
“Did Myriad Sword enter the Immortal Gate back then?” Su Qin’s eyes were deep, as he asked this.
In the last thousands of years overseas, every Earth Immortal would travel the world in their old age in search of the Immortal Gate and try to use its power to go further and live another life.
Myriad Sword should be no exception.
What Su Qin was curious about was whether Myriad Sword had ever entered the Myriad Sword in those days?
“Immortal Gate?”
The face of the illusory middle-aged man changed slightly.
