Chapter 157 The Lord decides, the second disciple Jian Wuji
The Eastern Region Saint Lord has been keeping a low profile ever since he noticed Lai Yang's cultivation level.
Until Lai Yang stepped into the void again, the breath completely disappeared.
The tense mood of everyone in the Eastern Region Holy Land was finally relieved a little. Their hearts, which had almost risen to their throats, gradually relaxed and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"This man is so terrifying that I can't even think of resisting him. It feels like he can kill me easily with just a thought."
"Holy Lord, this person suddenly appeared in my Eastern Region Holy Land. I wonder if he has other intentions."
"This person's realm of cultivation is unfathomable. Is it necessary to greet the ancestors?"
The powerful people in the Eastern Region Holy Land were discussing this.
After hearing what everyone said, the Eastern Region Saint Lord hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Regarding this matter, this Saint Lord will discuss it with the ancestors. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."
"Yes, Holy Lord, about Jian Wuji..." a powerful man from the Eastern Region Holy Land asked tentatively.
"Let him go. Let's wait until we find out more about this man." The Eastern Region Saint Lord waved his hand and said solemnly.
Everyone nodded. It was obvious that they did not want to provoke each other at this time, otherwise they would suffer the same fate as their companions.
"Okay, you guys go down first. I'm going to discuss this with the ancestors."
After saying this, the Eastern Region Holy Lord disappeared from the spot, and immediately went to the sleeping place of the ancestors of the Eastern Region Holy Land.
Not long after, the Holy Lord of the East Region arrived at the forbidden area of the Holy Land of the East Region. Inside the forbidden area were coffins emitting majestic vitality.
Those coffins are engraved with numerous mysterious and powerful formations both on the surface and inside, to assist the people sleeping in them in their cultivation and to slow down the dissipation of vitality in their bodies.
The Eastern Region Saint Lord raised his hands and clasped his fists, showing a respectful look on his face, and said loudly: "My apologies for interrupting you, elders. I have something important to discuss with you, please forgive me."
At this moment, a deep and vicissitudes voice sounded faintly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that an ancestor responded to him, the Eastern Region Saint Lord quickly spoke and recounted in detail what had just happened from beginning to end, including his own guesses.
For a moment, several ancestors of the Eastern Region Holy Land fell into silence.
"Why does the legendary existence exist in the Immortal Sect Continent? If there really is an immortal, it would have been discovered and forcibly extradited by the Heavenly Dao long ago. There is no way it can continue to stay in this world."
"That's right. The laws of nature in this plane will not allow a true immortal to stay here."
"But according to what he said, even if this person is not an immortal, he is probably only one step away from the legendary immortal realm. This person broke into the Holy Land of the East Region, and we were unaware of it. It can be seen that his strength is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary immortal. It is better not to provoke him if possible."
"That makes sense. If the Holy Land wasn't in trouble, it would be inappropriate for us to come forward. It's better not to make enemies with such people easily."
Hearing the words of the ancestors, the Eastern Region Saint Lord nodded seriously and said, "Junior understands."
If Lai Yang were here, he would understand why the Eastern Region Saint Lord was so straightforward in character. He immediately put away his airs when he saw the situation was not good. It turned out that it was all the experience passed down from his ancestors.
The Eastern Region Holy Lord bid farewell to the ancestors and returned to his palace to convene the elders of the Eastern Region Holy Land to discuss matters.
The powerful men who had left earlier also appeared here, and everyone looked at the Holy Lord of the East Region with puzzled eyes.
"I wonder why the Holy Lord suddenly summoned us?"
"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the Holy Land?"
The Saint Lord of the Eastern Region raised his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.
“I have two things to say to all the elders today. I believe everyone has heard about Elder Jian Wuji. Elder Jian Wuji has already announced to the public that he has left our East Region Holy Land.” The East Region Holy Lord said lightly.
"The Holy Lord wants us to capture Jian Wuji?" an elder asked doubtfully.
The Eastern Region Saint Lord shook his head and said, "No, I have decided not to pursue this matter. Since he wants to pursue his sword path, let him go. From now on, people from the Eastern Region Holy Land should not cause trouble for Jian Wuji. Let's leave this matter at that."
Upon hearing this, all the elders of the Eastern Region Holy Land could not help but reveal expressions of surprise.
The Holy Lord actually didn't pursue the matter of Jian Wuji's betrayal of the Eastern Region Holy Land?
Strange, this doesn't conform to the usual style of their Eastern Region Holy Land.
Is this still the Holy Lord of the past? When did the Holy Lord become so easy to talk to?
"In addition, due to the opening of the road to immortality, the situation in the Wenxian Continent is in chaos, and many immortal sects have been overthrown by powerful people who suddenly appeared. Considering the uncertainties in the future, this Saint Lord is considering establishing a cooperative relationship with the Wenxian Sect. Who is willing to go to the Wenxian Sect on behalf of this Saint Lord?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The Holy Lord wants to form an alliance with the Wenxian Sect? Shit, is this true? With the strength of their Eastern Region Holy Land, do they still need to cooperate with the Wenxian Sect?
The Holy Lord of the East Region naturally did not let him go for no reason, but he took into consideration that when Lai Yang appeared before, the other party not only mentioned Jian Wuji, but also deliberately mentioned that they should not cause trouble for the Wenxian Sect.
From this point of view, the relationship between the other party and the Wenxian Sect must be extraordinary.
Their closer relationship with the Wenxian Sect is also equivalent to their Eastern Region Holy Land indirectly showing goodwill to Lai Yang.
A powerful being whose cultivation level is infinitely close to that of an immortal at such a young age deserves to be treated with caution by the Eastern Region Holy Land.
"No, Holy Lord, are you serious? Why should we cooperate with the Wenxian Sect? With the strength of the Wenxian Sect, even if we are looking for partners, shouldn't we look for more powerful immortal sects to cooperate with?" An elder of the Eastern Region Holy Land could not help but question.
"This Saint Lord has his own plan for this matter. You don't need to ask any more questions. Just do as I say." The Saint Lord of the East Region said calmly, "Great Elder, how about you take your people to ask the Immortal Sect in person?"
"Since it is the order of the Holy Lord, I will obey it." The great elder stood up and spoke slowly.
The Eastern Region Saint Lord showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Very good, then I'll have to trouble the Great Elder."
Lai Yang was unaware of the series of events that took place after he left the Holy Land of the Eastern Region.
Lai Yang warned the Eastern Region Holy Land and left to return to Mingyue City.
Jian Wuji was digesting and comprehending the previous battle, comprehending the power of the sword intent that had reached the pinnacle. He had not yet fully mastered that power.
When he fully masters the power of sword intent, even if he faces the combined forces of more than a dozen strong men from the Eastern Region Holy Land again, he will surely defeat them with just one sword.
However, even though he had realized the pinnacle of sword intent, Jian Wuji discovered that there was still a huge gap between his sword attainments and the sword that Lai Yang had swung that day.
Even if he were to face the extremely terrifying sword swung by Lai Yang now, he still wouldn't have the confidence that he could take it.
This also made him more determined to become Lai Yang's disciple.
The opponent's swordsmanship was unfathomable, and if he could practice with him, it would definitely be of great benefit to his sword.
Suddenly, Jian Wuji sensed a breath approaching and subconsciously turned his head to look.
At some point, Lai Yang's figure had appeared beside him, and he seemed to have merged into one with the world.
If he hadn't deliberately emitted a ray of aura, Jian Wuji would not have been able to sense his presence.
"I am Jian Wuji, the junior, and I am here to greet you, senior!" Jian Wuji's expression changed, and he quickly stood up, raising his hand respectfully to salute.
"Come with me, I have something to say to you." Lai Yang said calmly.
Hearing this, Jian Wuji was overjoyed and quickly followed Lai Yang's steps.
After a while, Lai Yang brought Jian Wuji back to the courtyard.
"Are you sure you want to take me as your master?" Lai Yang stood with his hands behind his back and asked slowly.
Hearing this, Jian Wuji, who had been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years, reacted immediately. He took the opportunity to climb up the ladder and knelt down without hesitation to become his disciple.
"I, Jian Wuji, greet my Master!"
However, before his knees reached the ground halfway, they were dragged back by an invisible force.
Lai Yang turned his head and looked at Jian Wuji with his deep black eyes, and said in a clear voice: "Don't be in a hurry to become my disciple. It's okay for me to teach you the way of the sword, but I have one condition."
"Please tell me, senior. I will do whatever I can." Jian Wuji responded seriously.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you. The condition is that I want you to protect my only disciple on my behalf. He is now the acting leader of the Wenxian Sect, and his name is Chu Xiao."
"If you want to take me as your master, he will be your senior brother."
"As long as you promise me to protect him for three hundred years, I will teach you all the swordsmanship I have learned now."
Lai Yang's time is too long, and he can't stay in one place forever, as that kind of life is too boring.
With Chu Xiao's talent, three hundred years is enough for him to grow into the most powerful person in the Wenxian Continent.
Jian Wuji is the top swordsman in the Wenxian Continent.
With him around, there shouldn't be any problem as long as the old monster that has been lurking in the Wenxian Continent for thousands of years doesn't personally take action against Chu Xiao.
Jian Wuji's heart was slightly shocked. The acting leader of the Wenxian Sect was actually the disciple of this senior in front of him? Didn't he choose to leave the Wenxian Sect?
It seems that there may be another hidden story.
Jian Wuji didn't think about why Lai Yang did this. With such powerful strength, he could easily settle everything for Wenxian Sect.
He thought Lai Yang must have his own considerations, perhaps to train his disciples' abilities.
After all, people who grow up in an ivory tower can never become truly strong.
Jian Wuji hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "As long as Senior accepts me as his disciple, I am willing to agree to Senior's conditions and go to Wenxian Sect to protect Senior Brother for three hundred years."
Lai Yang smiled, and his pair of dark eyes as deep as the stars looked at Jian Wuji, and he slowly said, "Okay, from now on, you will be my second disciple. Relax your mind and don't resist. Next, I will pass on my understanding of the sword to you."
After saying that, Lai Yang pressed a finger on the crown of Jian Wuji's head.
In an instant, a vast amount of information rushed into Jian Wuji's mind.
Jian Wuji was extremely shocked. Just a quick peek had already benefited him a lot, and his own sword realm became more and more stable.
Lai Yang was not worried that Jian Wuji would regret it after getting the benefits.
Because even if Jian Wuji could fully comprehend the sword-fighting experience he taught, he did not have the invincible foundation like Lai Yang.
If Lai Yang wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
Furthermore, Lai Yang's attributes are steadily improving bit by bit every day, and as his spiritual understanding increases, he will eventually comprehend a more powerful realm of swordsmanship.
By the time Jian Wuji had fully comprehended and digested the sword-fighting experience he had passed on to him, Lai Yang's sword-fighting realm might have already reached the next level.
Lai Yang withdrew his fingers, Jian Wuji closed his eyes, and invisible aura waves spread around his body.
After a moment, Jian Wuji opened his eyes, and a sharp sword light flashed in his eyes.
Although he did not make a breakthrough, he gave people a more dangerous feeling.
Jian Wuji stood up and turned to Lai Yang, bowing respectfully: "Disciple Jian Wuji, thank you Master for your teachings."
"Well, you should stabilize your realm, and then you can ask the Immortal Sect."
"Yes, Master." Jian Wuji looked extremely excited.
He originally thought that he would have to protect the senior brother whom he had never met for three hundred years before his master would be willing to teach him the supreme sword art.
Unexpectedly, just by agreeing, the master would impart his sword-wielding insights to him without hesitation.
He is simply the best master in the world, and Jian Wuji was deeply moved.
He was obsessed with kendo all his life, and thought that reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship was the end of the kendo path, but he never expected to get such a heaven-defying opportunity.
"I don't necessarily want you to protect your senior brother for three hundred years. If one day he has enough strength to protect himself in the Wenxian Continent, you can then do your own thing. You can stay by your senior brother's side to help him, or leave. It's up to you." Lai Yang explained.
Hearing this, Jian Wuji was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded solemnly: "Wuji understands."
Lai Yang nodded and spoke softly:
"Well, it's good that you understand. When I'm ready to leave in a while, you can go ask the Immortal Sect."
"During this period, if you have any questions about swordsmanship, you can always ask me."
"My swordsmanship may not necessarily suit you. You can comprehend and integrate it into your own swordsmanship, but you cannot copy it completely. You must know that the one that suits you is the best."
Jian Wuji nodded seriously.
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Just go and comprehend it on your own. Don't bother me if you have nothing else to do."
After he finished speaking, Lai Yang turned and went into the room to rest.
Jian Wuji couldn't wait to comprehend the sword art taught by Lai Yang, and then he sat cross-legged under a tree in the yard. His body slowly floated in the air, and he entered a state of cultivation through meditation.
On the other side, ask the Immortal Sect.
The envoy from the Holy Land of the Eastern Region went to visit the Wenxian Sect.
After hearing the intention of the Eastern Region Holy Land, everyone in Wenxian Sect was shocked and looked surprised.
The Eastern Region Holy Land actually wanted to form an alliance with the Wenxian Sect? Was there really no conspiracy behind this?
Or did the Eastern Region Holy Land take a fancy to something from the Immortal Sect?
If you want to ask the Immortal Sect what is worthy of the Eastern Region Holy Land's covetousness.
They are the only ones who ask about the Xianzong's most precious treasure, the Xianjing!
