Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. But Ye Qingyun always respected his teachers and could sense from the aura this person had just exuded that even a spiritual being could possess such a powerful aura. He wondered if this person was indeed a senior from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Ye Qingyun immediately knelt down to pay his respects. Seeing the sect leader kneel, everyone else followed suit. Su Yan hurriedly ran out of the ancestral hall, seemingly unwilling to accept their bows. "Alright, that's enough now. You all saw that I had already knelt. Since you truly respect your teachers, this kneeling should be for the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall. Well, since that brat woke me up anyway, I'll just point you out. Little girl, come here! Don't look at anyone else, it's you!"
Nangong Ling'er thought for a moment and then stepped forward.
Su Yan pointed a finger at Nangong Ling'er's forehead, "Oh ho! The Heart Sutra, this broken thing can still be passed down? But it's still usable, why did you stop after cultivating the first three chapters?"
"Senior, isn't the Suwen Heart Sutra only in three parts: upper, middle, and lower?"
Su Yan slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something. He then walked to the statue of the Three Pure Ones in the courtyard of the ancestral hall and reached out to pry open the base, only to find that his hand went right through the base. His expression immediately changed. "Sigh... it seems that even my spirit body is no good. Come on! Come on, you little brat who pulled the grass from my grave, you come and pry open the third brick from the left on the base!"
Xiao Yuhan obediently stepped forward and did as instructed. Once he opened it up, he did find quite a few broken things, but because they were so old, they were either rotten to dust or had turned into stone.
Su Yan slapped his forehead. "Oh no, how many years has it been? It's turned into this state. Never mind, I'll just dictate it. Quickly, take notes. The Suwen Heart Sutra has thirteen chapters in total. It is a mental cultivation method created by the Jiang Clan of Kunlun..."
Nangong Ling'er quickly took out her things to write down. Just as Su Yan finished speaking, she also finished writing. In fact, while she was writing by hand, she also went through it in her mind. Suddenly, her face turned pale because the contents had overturned her understanding of the path of medicine.
Then Su Yan looked very tired and said, "Sigh, my mouth is so dry. If only I had some good wine to quench my thirst!"
Xiao Yuhan was also very sensible and quickly took out a jar of treasured wine and opened it. However, Su Yan, who was a spirit, seemed to be different from the spirits they had seen before. Despite his powerful soul, he was unable to touch physical objects for some reason.
He stared at the wine in Xiao Yuhan's hand, swallowed hard, and then said unhappily, "You brat, all you do is tempt me. I can't even drink it. Hurry up and put it away!"
Xiao Yuhan was somewhat speechless, thinking, "Didn't you say you wanted to drink it?" "Senior, your spiritual body is so powerful, why can't you touch physical objects?"
Su Yan countered, "Do you think spirits should be able to touch physical objects?"
"Theoretically, it's not feasible."
Su Yan spread his hands, "Isn't that settled then? Doing things that go against common sense always comes at a price. What's impossible is impossible. Alright, you little white-haired girl, come here!"
Shen Huairu slowly stepped forward. Su Yan examined her and then said with some surprise, "Supreme Forgetfulness... has already entered the Dao. I can't give you any more guidance. Cultivate diligently, and you will surely achieve great things in the future!"
Everyone was quite surprised. Shen Huairu had originally wanted to take this opportunity to learn from others because of her own problems, but she didn't expect to receive such an evaluation, which puzzled her greatly.
Looking at Shen Huairu's expression, Su Yan continued, "The Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter was created by Ling Su. I don't understand it very well either, but I know that you have embarked on the same path as her. Ling Su... is my wife. She is more capable than me."
Upon hearing Su Yan's words, Ye Qingyun seemed to suddenly realize something, "Is it... Liu Lingsu?"
"Oh? You know about this too?" Su Yan asked.
The group looked at Ye Qingyun, who explained, "My master once told me that our Heavenly Sword Sect's founder, Su Yan, established the sect, but it was the second-generation sect leader, Liu Lingsu, who truly carried it forward."
Su Yan seemed lost in thought, "So it was she who held up the family after I died...sigh..."
No one dared to speak. After a moment, Su Yan walked to Ye Qingyun's side and said, "You have great talent, the best among these people. But you've been working yourself to the bone, and you've also lost an arm. You've been suffering from mental distress. With all these injuries, how have you managed to survive until today?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Qingyun, feeling somewhat uneasy. At this moment, Nangong Ling'er stepped forward, "Senior, my senior brother..."
Su Yan raised his hand to stop Nangong Ling'er. "I know you know medicine, but it's not something that medicine can cure. This is a heart ailment. Kid, step down. You're going to live two more years, but you're already burning yourself out. How about this, I'll appoint a new sect leader for you. How about that white-haired girl? She's calm and reserved, very much like Ling Su. Moreover, she's a cultivator of the Supreme Being, someone who has transcended emotions. Unlike this kid surnamed Ye, she can't hold onto worries in her heart, so she won't accumulate any resentment. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent. Ye Qingyun looked at Shen Huairu with some worry. Su Yan said again, "What are you looking at? In this world, some people are good at certain things, and some are not. And you are definitely not cut out to be the sect leader. Speaking of which, what are you all up to? I think our Heavenly Sword Sect has plenty of spiritual energy, so how come we only have a kid who has just entered the Dao Integration Realm? Has the world changed?"
Ye Qingyun explained, "Senior, the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Sword Sect is like this because of the recent changes in the spiritual veins. Before this, there were no cultivators in the Dao Integration Realm in the martial world."
Hearing this, Su Yan nodded as if he understood somewhat, "Alright, that's enough about that."
