Chapter 25 Sympathetic Heart
“He, he did not say that he wanted to go to the Sunset Kingdom. If we knew his plans, we would definitely stop him. Even if I couldn’t stop it, I would follow him!” The tone of the Xuan Nyu Fairy was helpless.
“The Dreamless Ancestor once came back from the Heaven Realm, and he specially guided my swordsmanship. At that time, I was only a junior who just reached the Void Return Stage. Without his guidance, I would not be able to have today’s achievements.” Hunyuan Sword Immortal also sighed with memories.
“Seniors, from what I have just heard, there seemed to be some restrictions on going to the Sunset Kingdom?” Lyu Liang had understood the situation. His Master did not tell the place to these close people before going, and it seemed that this location was very unusual. A place that even an Almighty Immortal feared, how could the trip be comfortable and relaxing?
“Fine, you are the future pro-disciple of the elder brother, and you can get to know some secrets.” The founding father of Sword Character looked at Lyu Liang with kindness. “There are four major kingdoms in the Ghost Realm. Among them, Netherworld Kingdom, Illusion Kingdom, and the Rakshasa Kingdom are almost the same as the territories in the Mortal Realm. Only the Sunset Kingdom is said to be the place where it had the cave that belonged to the powerful figure that created the Ghost Realm. Normal people can’t find the entrance to the kingdom at all. Only the people of the Feng family can bring others in. It is said that there are many heaven and earth treasures, but the danger is lurking everywhere. Very few people can come out alive. Even an Almighty Immortal has once fallen into it, and nobody knew if he had died. Then, with the seclusion of the Feng family, there are even fewer people who can find and enter the Sunset Kingdom.”
“Why are the people from the Feng family reclusive? When did that happen?” Lyu Liang looked at him and then said firmly, “As long as I have perfect my skills, I will definitely go to the Sunset Kingdom to find my Master!”
“It seems that the elder big brother did accept a person worth of inheritance on his mantles.” The founding father of Sword Character nodded gratifiedly and then said again, “Now that I think about it, the Feng family’s reclusion started about 10,000 years ago, and the elder brother entered the Sunset Kingdom at about the same time. I don’t know if there is any connection.
“You are my brother’s pro-disciple. Now that elder brother is not here, I am willing to impart skills on behalf of him. After all, the “Xuanyuan Skill ” is completed by both of us. No one in this world is better than me to guide you. Are you willing?” Lyu Liang’s mind went blank directly hearing the words of the founding father of Sword Character! What a huge surprise!
Lyu Liang did think about it, but his best prediction was that he would follow Hunyuan Sword Immortal. After all, Hunyuan Sword Immortal had been guided by his Master, and Hunyuan Sword Immortal already had some accomplishments in swordsmanship. Judging from the few tricks that he had shown just now, he was more than enough to be the master of Lyu Liang!
However, he had never expected the founding father of Sword Character to receive him as a disciple! That was the top figure at the Almighty Immortal class! Was there a better chance than this?
“Dumb nerd! Why are you still in a daze! Go worship and thank the master now!” Shangguan Ying’s annoyed voice sounded, and that made Lyu Liang’s short-circuited head reconnect to the line.
Lyu Liang hesitated no more, lowered his head and bowed. “Master on top, please accept my worship!”
The three immortals at ancestor grade then took turns to ask Lyu Liang a few questions. Among them, the founding father of Sword Character was concerned about whether there were some clues left by the elder brother in the Virtual Land. The concern of the Xuan Nyu Fairy was everything related to Xuanli Feiwu, and Lyu Liang had to consider every answer before he replied. Hunyuan Sword Immortal touched Lyu Liang the most. He instantly began to point out some places on the swordsmanship that needed attention. His advice immediately gave Lyu Liang a feeling of enlightenment. With a good teacher’s guidance, everything was different!
After a while, the eyes of the founding father of Sword Character swept over everyone in front of him. He said sternly, “The words here today are only known to five of us, and we must never pass on the ears of others! The secrets of Lyu Liang should continue to remain hidden. From today onwards, he is an ordinary white-clothed disciple of my Sword Character Immortal Palace. As for how he entered the sect, it shall be said that because he made his feat in solving the conspiracy in the trial field. Therefore, an exception was made for him to enter. Hunyuan, do you understand?”
“Master, rest assured. I will personally arrange everything for my junior brother. Junior Brother, are you involved in other areas like alchemy, talisman, formation, and so on?” “Junior Brother” called by Hunyuan Sword Immortal almost made Lyu Liang flop onto the ground.
By generation, the call of “Junior Brother” by Hunyuan Sword Immortal was not a problem, and it was fine even if Lyu Liang answered him. However, Lyu Liang had some self-knowledge! Comparing to Hunyuan Sword Immortal’s cultivation and identity, how much value did Lyu Liang had? Others could give you a face, but you must not lose it yourself!
Immediately, Lyu Liang bowed to Hunyuan Sword Immortal with reverence and awe, and said firmly, “Chief Ancestor Senior, please don’t call me “Junior Brother”. Although I can answer to this name at my position, what morality or ability do I hold, what cultivation level do I have to take this call? I, Lyu Liang, is an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Palace, and I shall be treated that way. I hope your ancestors can grant my will!”
“A person being petted but not arrogant! I am more and more optimistic about you, don’t make my elder brother and I disappointed.” The more the founding father of Sword Character looked at Lyu Liang, the more pleased he felt, because he found that Lyu Liang’s character was too similar to him in the youth time. The same humility and courtesy, and the same understanding of advance and retreat.
“I am slightly involved in alchemy. I don’t know if there is a rather quiet place to offer me as a place to cultivate and rest.” Lyu Liang also understood that ordinary disciples must have the ordinary look of it. He must continue to be low-key, and it would be still best to avoid others’ eyes and ears.
“That’s the case, and you go to the Pill Division at the back of the mountain, there is hardly anyone there. I will arrange you into the idlest herb garden which will also help you in cultivation.” In the blink of an eye, Hunyuan Sword Immortal had already arranged everything for Lyu Liang.
“Well, that’s good. Lyu Liang, I have a volume of “Xuanyuan Skill” addendum, which I will teach you now. Inside the addendum, there are clear notes and instruction for the mind mantra and swordsmanship in the “Xuanyuan Skill”. You can read and understand now by yourself. When your mind mantra reaches the Foundation Stabilization Realm, and the swordsmanship is trained to the fourth style, then I will continue to teach you.” The founding father of Sword Character waved his hand, and a white jade floated in front of Lyu Liang. “This is the Messaging Jade. After the fulfillment of the demand or when there are special matters, you can message me through this jade, and I will come to you in person.”
“Thank you, Master!” Lyu Liang was overjoyed. He reached out and took the jade, and carefully put it into his arms. At the same time, he suddenly remembered that the Emperor Devil Pearl which contained the mother’s remnant soul was still in the hands of Shangguan Ying. He looked at her unconsciously and meet Shangguan Ying’s gaze.
Shangguan Ying instantly lowered her head again, without any accidents, and her face turned sheepish. This made Lyu Liang feel helpless. How was this fairy lady’s face so thin?
“Well, everything here has been settled. This place is temporarily closed. I will check it out another day by myself. And oh, there is still a Great Demon beast here...” The founding father of Sword Character suddenly remembered the blue-eyed giant tiger was still here for a long time. Likely, the tiger had almost heard everything, so he needed to figure out how to deal with it.
The giant tiger was already shivering because of fear. It was apparent that what it heard today was extremely secretive. Even if it didn’t want to hear, it had already known everything now. Except for being killed, there wasn’t any other ending it could think of. Just as it was still in a state of chaos, the words of the founding father of Sword Character instantly made it collapse desperately. Even if it had the idea of asking for mercy, it did not dare to expect it.
A trace of sympathy flashed through Lyu Liang’s eyes. He bit his teeth, cupped his hands and bowed to the founding father of Sword Character. “Master, forgive my daringness, please let go of this giant tiger. The situation forced them, and they have never been harmful at normal times. I’m interested in letting this tiger be my contract servant, so I’m not afraid of secret leaks. I can also have a little help.”
The giant tiger was astounded. Even though Lyu Liang let it avoid the explosion death, it did not think that at this moment, Lyu Liang could still think of saving it! For the first time after birth, it had been inexplicably touched although it had usually hated the Human Clan. It suddenly felt that even if it could not escape the death in the end, it was contented with this sentence from Lyu Liang.
The founding father of Sword Character glimpsed at Lyu Liang and then looked at the giant tiger. Finally, he asked the giant tiger in a deep voice, “Did you hear it? Are you willing to be a contract servant of my disciple, which cannot betray him eternally?”
“Aww! Willing, willing! I am willing to make a life-bonded vow, I will be a contract servant of grace eternally!” This huge surprise has made the giant tiger not knowing how to express its excitement, even if Lyu Liang asked it to die now, it would likely not hesitate.
At the same time, the giant tiger seemed to recall something, and the claws pointed at the collapsed high platform at the center of the stone hall, “Oh, my powerful seniors, there is an upper-grade demon stone mine vein sealed under the platform, which was later released by the black-robed man. After that, he abducted the old man as a carrier and began to raise the Demon Emperor Horn.”
“Upper-grade demon stone mine veins? Haha, this is really an amazing sum of wealth! Just as I wondered, how to raise the Demon Emperor Horn for thousand years relying solely on Danyuan’s personal strength. So the mystery lies here! Very good, seemed that you really have the sincerity to pay allegiance.” The founding father of Sword Character was ecstatic, and he waved his hand. An incomplete scroll flew to the giant tiger, “This is a remnant of demon Cultivation Method that I got by chance. It should also be an upper-grade Cultivation Method. You can take it to practice. In the future, you can become a powerful helper for my disciple. Of course, you can also try your having a second mind. I promise that it will be a thousand and a million times more painful than soul extraction and tendon refining!”
The saying of the founding father of Sword Character belonged to the whip after the sweet. The giant tiger who listened to it kowtowed hastily and thankfully. “Ancestor senior, rest assured, I will follow the master sincerely in the future!”
After assigning some future cautions, everyone decided to disperse. As for who the black-robed fat man at the Nascent Soul Stage was, according to the thought of the founding father of Sword Character, it was probably one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect! Back then, Xuan Nyu Fairy had gone to the Blood Divine Sect to look for trouble. She seemed to have seen this dressed person in the so-called Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect. But the time interval was too long, and she did not pay attention to him on purpose, so she did not have a full grasp.
As for the problem that the opponent’s cultivation was only at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul, the founding father of Sword Character had solved the confusion already. This person should also be above the Fairy Immortal Stage. However, in the trial field, there was a strong bounded domain naturally suppressing for those who were with high cultivation stage, that was a probable main reason for his cultivation drop.
However, after hearing this, Lyu Liang felt comfort in his heart. He hoped that the black-robe fat man was one of the Seven Disciples of the Blood Divine Sect so that he could earn some interest first.
The issue of the ownership of the Demon Emperor Horn was also straightforward, no one wanted it! In the end, the founding father of Sword Character kept it. However, he said that when Lyu Liang reached the Middle-stage of Gold Core, he would return the Demon Emperor Horn to him. This involved a great opportunity, which would be very beneficial for Lyu Liang. As for the benefits, the founding father of Sword Character did agree with Black and chose not to tell Lyu Liang first in case he would have false hopes and delay the cultivation.
When the Xuan Nyu Fairy was leaving, she gave Lyu Liang a petal-shaped jade talisman and told him that with this talisman, he could enter and exit the Xuan Nyu Sect freely. The founding father of Sword Character seemed to be in a good mood, and rarely, he made a joke on Lyu Liang.
It was said that the males holding this petal jade talisman were all above the Fairy Immortal Stage. Lyu Liang was the only man below the Fairy Immortal stage! If this news leaked out, undoubtedly, many people would want to rob him!
In the end, Shangguan Ying also returned Lyu Liang the Emperor Devil Pearl and the bottle of Soul-raising Pill which he had thrown to her. But she did not say a word to him. When she followed the Xuan Nyu Fairy and left, she was still in a sheepish look.
