Chapter 60: The Past Twenty Years of Yuanying
In the vast desert, a venomous scorpion emitting the aura of the Spiritual Transformation Stage suddenly crawled out from the quicksand.
"Hah!" The black-skinned, blue-eyed saint swung her hammer from mid-air, knocking down the poisonous scorpion with one blow, causing countless sand to fly.
"roar--!!!"
The poisonous scorpion screamed and hissed in pain, and the demonic energy gathered like a dark cloud pressing down on the ground, causing the saint to stumble and lose her balance. Amidst the howling evil wind, the scorpion's tail, flashing with a poisonous green light, rushed towards Ya Ge quickly, accurately and ruthlessly!
“clang!”
A slender swordsman girl descended from the sky. With an extremely contrasting look, she decisively swung the giant sword and struck with a tremendous force, immediately cutting off the poisonous scorpion's tail on the spot!
"three."
Ya Ge swung her sledgehammer, smashing the green poisonous needles that the scorpion tail shot out before dying.
"two."
The poisonous scorpion's dim yellow eyes stared viciously at the human cultivator, and it raised its head and let out a special hissing sound towards the sky.
"Is it trying to self-destruct? —Shengsheng! Be careful!!"
"one!"
Chu Sheng turned around and held the heavy sword horizontally, carefully looked at the remaining scorpion armor fragments on it, and then blew out a breath gently.
"call."
The flying sand and flesh fragments in the sky, along with the sound of the scorpion falling to the ground, were annihilated in the boundless desert that contained everything.
Ya Ge breathed a sigh of relief, then she picked up the sledgehammer, walked forward happily, and began to pick out the materials on the body of the Disaster Scorpion.
"This is a Spiritualization Stage's Disaster Poison Scorpion. It has killed countless ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but now we've finally destroyed it... You've become stronger again, Shengsheng!"
"It's just ordinary." Chu Sheng answered lightly, without showing much joy on his face.
"It has a Black Demon within it. Its strength is only temporary. Overdrawing its potential will soon kill it. Even if it's not me, someone else will be there to put an end to it."
"...Senior Sister." Seeing that the battle was completely over, Yuwawa finally stuck his head out and said to Chu Sheng with some grievance.
"You agreed to beat it half to death and surrender it to me!"
Chu Shengfeng's hand, which was wiping the sword calmly, suddenly stopped.
It's bad. Ling Fengzhi's sword is too easy to use. Once the fight started, he became ruthless and forgot about his feelings. He forgot his junior sister's request and left the Evil Scorpion with a chance of survival...
"It's already dirty, so I can't give it to you. Let's find a better one." Chu Sheng turned around and calmly touched the jade doll's head.
"There will be another one, next time for sure."
"But this is the third time you've said you'll definitely do it next time!"
Jade Baby's eyes widened, her face filled with accusations. "Senior Sister! You're not lying to me, stalling for time so I don't have to go to Myriad Beasts Mountain later, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? Didn't we agree to find Fang Yuan first?" Chu Sheng remained calm, but his eyes kept looking at Ya Ge for help.
"Well... I received new divination information from Zixiao." Ya Ge took the communication spirit bead and interrupted the conversation between the two sisters.
"We're about to leave the desert and head towards the Canglang Mountains. There's a border city just ahead. Should we go in and get some supplies?"
"That's exactly what I want." Chu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously touched the heavy iron sword on his back that was wrapped with cloth again.
"Perhaps I can try to visit the members of the monitoring team stationed here..."
This is the twentieth year since Chu Sheng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and also the fifth year since the three of them hunted down the mindless monsters.
In the first year after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Chu Sheng went to the Sword Palace.
Just as Ya Ge said, Qi An had already left the sect. Although the outer disciples who stayed behind in the Sword Palace were a bit arrogant, they obediently informed the chief leader after Chu Sheng showed his excellent swordsmanship.
The chief commander still remembered the order Changfeng Duji had given him, so he helped Chu Sheng get the heavy iron sword and a letter relatively smoothly.
Chu Sheng read the letter. In it, Ling Fengzhi expressed his doubts about the Lord of Swords, his apology for leaving without saying goodbye, and the reason why he decided to fight against the alien demon.
[I'm very sorry, Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, Fellow Daoist Gui Xuan, I can only say goodbye to you in this way.]
[If Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng doesn't mind, please use the heavy sword as your weapon.
This was made for me personally by my master, and was supposed to be my lifelong magical instrument...
Ultimately, it was my fault for not treating it consistently, which led to the sword being hidden.
I have many hesitations and confusions. My master's death and the mystery of my senior brother are beyond my comprehension and I find it difficult to settle down.
But if I stay in the palace, I won't be able to keep everything my master has done for me... I can only choose the most unconventional path and join the Supervisory Team to find a way out.
[I wish you all a bright future and a broad road ahead. I leave this letter as a souvenir. Please take care.
——Ling Fengzhi. 】
But Ling Fengzhi, I didn't see your letter in time.
Gui Xuan is just like you at this moment. Even if she has to risk everything, she will take a different approach to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
I am the only one here reading this letter.
I came to the Sword Palace several years after you joined the Supervisory Team, and I still need your help in the Tianjiao List. Am I still your close friend?
Chu Sheng put the letter away, his expression normal, and it was hard to tell whether he was in a heavy mood or not.
Ya Ge and Yu Wawa helped her carefully tie up the heavy iron sword with cloth strips and carried it behind her back.
She said goodbye to the headmaster with a smile, and when she was about to step out of the Sword Palace gate, she heard the low mocking voices of several Sword Palace disciples.
"That sword seems familiar. Is it the sword of that disciple of the Undeserved Sword Master? I heard he went to the Supervisory Team and there's been no news for a long time..."
"Who would ask to be on the inspection team? They must be really sick in the head. My master even gave me a beating for this. It's really despicable."
"There's been no news for such a long time, I'm afraid he's already dead, so that's why I came here in such a dejected mood to pack up my things..."
“…Shengsheng.”
Ya Ge looked at her with some worry, but Yuwawa pulled Ya Ge nonchalantly, and Chu Sheng, with her hair lifted from her shoulders, calmly walked out of the Sword Palace gate.
"Ka."
The moment the three female cultivators disappeared outside the gate of the Sword Palace, the Sword Palace disciples who were whispering and sneering about something suddenly froze with ridiculous and funny expressions.
"My sword..."
One person tried to touch the hilt of the sword, but he only heard the despairing sound of his own life-saving magic weapon breaking into two pieces.
"Bang!"
The three of them looked at each other, their expressions becoming increasingly terrified, but after a moment, their expressions changed and they all vomited blood!
"cough!!!!"
The three people who had already left had no way of knowing what happened in the Sword Palace.
[Are you angry, Sheng'er? ]
Zong Shan watched all this from within the Spiritual Palace and asked softly. He had seen everything from beginning to end, and naturally, he had also seen Chu Sheng's final move, using his sword energy to sever the three people's magical weapons.
[It's just a small lesson. Changfeng Duji wouldn't bother me just for such a small matter.]
[After all, I'm different from Ling Fengzhi, who lost his master unexpectedly. My master, Venerable Yunmeng, is still in charge of the Hehuan Sect... isn't he?]
Chu Sheng casually retracted her outstretched fingers and casually tangled her black hair. Her shiny long hair wrapped around her snow-white and slender fingers was as shiny as gorgeous silk.
[Sheng'er...]
Zongshan's slightly sad voice was unilaterally cut off by Chu Sheng.
She didn't want to hear Yun Mengzi's apology or confession, because Chu Sheng knew that if everything started all over again, Zongshan would still do it without hesitation.
Then just be yourself until the end and prove who is right and who is wrong in the end!
"Next..."
She raised her eyes and cast a calm gaze at the border.
In the fifth year after Chu Sheng was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, the Jade Baby, who was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, recaptured the first Nascent Soul stage beast.
A cultivator in the foundation-building stage can control a spirit beast that spans an entire realm and still has more than enough space left. If such a thing were to happen outside, people would simply exclaim in disbelief.
But both Yuwawa and Chusheng appeared calm, so Yage also became calm.
Hehuan Sect...Okay, you Hehuan Sect.
Shengsheng alone is so amazing, let alone others!
Ya Ge's heart was as calm as water, no longer having any random thoughts, she just took out the colorful hammer.
"Let me do it!"
Hey, it’s so fun to go out with Shengsheng!
In the tenth year after Chu Sheng was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he received a letter from Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi wrote a long letter telling her that Qi An was the real master of the Frost Sword a thousand years ago, and that he had insisted on going to the Bliss Sect and now had lost contact. He hoped that she could go and rescue him when she was free.
Of course, if he doesn’t have time, then forget it. I believe the famous Frost Sword Master will not die for the time being.
As for why he didn't go, it was because Yuan Qi and his Tianyan Demon-Suppressing Umbrella were preparing to break through to the God Transformation Realm, so he couldn't get away for the time being.
Yes, Yuan Qi had to endure two thunder tribulations of the Spirit Transformation Stage, one for himself and one for the Tianyan Demon-Suppressing Umbrella.
"How perverted." Jade Baby sighed expressionlessly.
"It's really perverted." Ya Ge also sighed sincerely.
Chu Sheng folded the letter back, looked at Saint Ya Ge, and blinked. "You can do it too..."
"Hush." Saint Yage raised her index finger with a playful expression. "I just want to help the cute little butterfly-like Shengsheng. No rush, no rush. I'm still young."
The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fire Holy Sect will only be passed down to the Spirit Transformation Stage and then will disappear. This is because after the Spirit Transformation Stage, the skills practiced by the Heavenly Fire Holy Sect will carry a special ritual, allowing the Holy Maiden to truly become the carrier of the "God" of the Holy Sect.
Will Ya Ge still be Ya Ge by then?
Ya Ge didn't say anything, and Chu Sheng didn't ask.
"I want to learn more. Please teach me, Sister Ya Ge." Chu Sheng said.
"Okay, okay. I'll find you a pair of the same hammers later. How about black and gold? Two for you, two for me. Let's fight together, Shengsheng!"
In the thirteenth year after Chu Sheng was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, although she did not find where Qi An and Ling Fengzhi were, she initially discovered traces of Fang Yuan.
A fox demon once briefly appeared in a city built by human cultivators, but later disappeared after being picked up by a young woman.
"According to what you said, the location should be south of where we are now."
The purple-haired female cultivator with cold eyes and eyebrows said so.
Ya Ge, who had a good relationship with Zi Xiao and was beginning to explore other roles of the Young Master of Ling Xiao Pavilion, shook her arms and winked at Chu Sheng.
"Are you in need of a friend from High Heaven Pavilion, Shengsheng? Just hand over your Senior Brother Ye Ziqing, and Zixiao will treat you as her best half-sister in this life."
You young people...
Chu Sheng skillfully cut off Zong Shan's heartbeat, and sold Ye Ziqing without hesitation amid the background of the jade doll nodding frantically.
"No problem, I can totally do it."
In the distant Hehuan Sect, Ye Ziqing sneezed.
"A-choo!"
