Chapter 218 - 218: Five Realms After the Fifth Realm, Observing the Bodhisattva’s Tonsure (2)
“Perhaps you won’t meet ever again.”
In the carriage, Old Imperial Uncle sighed and said to An Le.
An Le nodded when he heard this. He stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage. A white-robed man with the Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword at his waist and Storm Calming, which was hidden in the peachwood sheath, walked out.
There was a pavilion on the side of the mountain path in the distance.
In the Ancient Daoist Pavilion, the atmosphere was heavy.
A figure that seemed to be emitting a hazy aura like an immortal in the sky stood in the pavilion and looked at the rain in the sky in a daze.
The man was incomparably handsome and emitted an immortal aura. He was wearing a wide sleeve and carried two wine jugs.
An Le stepped into the pavilion, and Zhao Jiu retracted his gaze.
“Fortunately, I rushed a little faster. If I were any slower, I wouldn’t have been able to reach you. This pavilion is the furthest I can go.” Zhao Jiu said with a smile.
Then, he handed a pot of wine to An Le. The pot contained the old yellow wine from Yan Chun.
The two of them clinked wine jugs under the pavilion and began to drink freely.
Zhao Jiu didn’t say much. It was as if he was just here to drink with An Le.
A pot of turbid wine could bring joy to meeting each other, but it could also hurt parting.
Zhao Jiu waved his hand after bidding farewell. His clothes fluttered as he strolled in the endless rain. He twisted the rain in the sky and left like an immortal.
In the carriage, Zhao Huangting looked at the carefree Zhao Xianyou and couldn’t help but sigh.
As a sparrow in a cage, he was the most pitiful person.
The royal family was heartless, but they did not expect that the embarrassing Emperor of the Heavenly Profound Palace could be so heartless.
With this in mind, Old Imperial Uncle’s eyes became even more sorrowful. He seemed to have some feelings for the spark that Li You’an had mentioned. If there was a fire that could burn everything down and start all over again.. That seemed pretty good.
The carriage continued to move. This time, there was no obstruction. It swayed and collided with the wind and rain, disappearing on the official road.
In the carriage, Zhao Huangting smacked his lips and drank the old yellow wine from Yan Chun that Zhao Xianyou had sent over. The cold wine entered the old man’s throat, making him extremely enjoyable and intoxicated.
“Ordinary wine is better than the Imperial Palace’s Drunken Flowing Clouds.” Zhao Huangting smiled with emotion. An Le did not take back the wine pot, so he gave the wine to Old Imperial Uncle to drink.
Zhao Huangting didn’t stand on ceremony. Along the way, he probably didn’t have much chance to drink, so he drank less wine.
“Senior, are we going to Shu now?”
Lin Qingyin seemed to know something and said gently and elegantly.
Zhao Huangting took a small sip of wine. “The fourth son of the Lin family told you? Have you heard of the Shu Sword Pool Palace? That’s where we’re going.”
Lin Qingyin smiled lightly when she heard that. “Since ancient times, apart from the dynasty, there have been many martial arts factions in the Central Plains. These martial arts factions have carried the ten thousand years of inheritance of the Central Plains and are deeply rooted. Even Emperor Yuan Meng, who currently occupies the vast territory of the Central Plains north of the Blue Wave River, tacitly acknowledges the existence of these factions.” “The Shu Sword Pool Palace, the three Buddhist monasteries, the True Martial
Dao Sect and the Celestial Master, the Demon Race’s Kun Peng Mountain, the
Star Plucking Sect controlled by the peerless Imperial Preceptor of Dali, and the Hell Mansion that is now the national religion of West Liang…”
“These are the martial arts factions that have existed in the Central Plains for a long time. Even if the dynasty changes and the wind blows, they will still stand tall.”
After all, Lin Qingyin was a direct descendant of the Lin family, so she was naturally very knowledgeable. An Le, who had started cultivating halfway, could not compare to her.
An Le, who was about to observe the wisp of Molten Gold Age Qi absorbed from Attained Suzhu, immediately opened his eyes and listened curiously.
Zhao Huangting narrowed his eyes in admiration. “After leaving the city, we’ll face the martial world. In fact, the imperial court itself has its conflicts. It’s just a more elegant name.”
“Where there are people, there’s conflicts.”
“The Shu Sword Pool Palace has a long inheritance. Although it was almost erased once, it has been passed down until now. It’s naturally not ordinary. It’s a famous sword forging place in the world now.”
“Green Mountain needs to be sharpened. We must go to the Sword Pool Palace.”
Zhao Huangting said and looked at An Le with a solemn expression. “There’s a holy land in the Sword Pool Palace called the Sword Pool Lake. To all the sword cultivators in the world, it’s a supreme treasure land. This is also one of the reasons why I brought you there this time.”
“The foundation of a cultivator is extremely important. I have very high expectations of you. I hope that one day, you can break through the tenth realm that blocks the footsteps of countless cultivators and achieve true freedom and dissolution in the world.’
Zhao Huangting’s words were filled with emotion.
He saw his younger self in An Le. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Huangting wanted to nurture An Le and build a good foundation for him.
An Le could not help but be moved. He did not expect Old Imperial Uncle to have such high expectations of him.
“Since you can gain the favor of Green Mountain, I naturally have to raise my expectations of you.”
Zhao Huangting took a sip of wine and said with a smile, “If Green Mountain can be sharpened, the meaning is definitely different. It’s the key to breaking through to the tenth realm. In my life, I’ve gone to the Sword Pool Palace four times to sharpen Green Mountain, but I couldn’t. I know that it should be because I’m not fated, but this is the fifth time. I’ll bring you into Shu.”
“The only thing in this world that can enlighten Green Mountain is the Sword Pool Palace.”
“If you can’t sharpen your swords this time, you can only enter Shu yourself in the future.’
Zhao Huangting’s words made An Le silent.
“Kid An, you’re now at the double fourth realm and are about to come into contact with the fifth realm and break through to the sixth realm. Today, I’ll tell you about the Spirit Refinement and Body Tempering after the sixth realm.”
Outside the carriage, it was raining and misty..
