…
Amidst such a heated atmosphere of competition …
The Residence of Nine Supremes had a visitor again.
Outside the mountain gate.
A big black bear covered in wounds walked up weakly and plopped down at the Residence of Nine Supremes' door, moaning, "Is this the Residence of Nine Supremes? Is anyone there? I'm here for Leader Yun … "
It was the black bear from the School of Imperial Beasts.
Yun Yang was shocked when he saw the bear king. "You … what happened to you?"
The black bear's cultivation base was not low. Even though Yun Yang's cultivation base had improved tremendously during this period of time, there was still a gap between him and the bear king back then. At a glance, the bear king seemed to have lost ninety percent of his life; his entire body was covered in cuts and bruises; roughly, there were at least seven to eight hundred of them!
It was already a miracle that he could make it to the Residence of Nine Supremes with such injuries.
"I've come to seek refuge with you … I'm not leaving since I'm here …"
The black bear rolled his eyes and fainted right after he said this.
Following that, the gigantic body fell to the ground, and with a loud boom, it actually smashed down a large tree beside it.
"Carry him in!"
Without delay, Yun Yang quietly sent in a wisp of air of vitality and fed it two medicinal pills. Only then did he order his men to carry the black bear in. The mountain gate was so wide, but the black bear had to be turned sideways to enter …
The gate did not seem to live up to its name anymore!
"This physique is really extraordinary …"
After a day and a night, the black bear finally regained consciousness. Yun Yang only knew the whole story after asking.
"It was done by someone from the School of Imperial Beasts?"
Yun Yang's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "No wonder there's bewitching incense, poison, and all sorts of peculiar medicinal ingredients in your body, causing you to lose a large amount of spiritual energy and diminish your ability … What happened?"
The bear king was the guardian beast of the School of Imperial Beasts. What had happened?
Although Black Bear had regained consciousness, he was still weak and dispirited. "… After returning from the competition, the conflict between me and those brats gradually escalated … In the end, when the sect asked me to do something, I just didn't go … It was also at that time that I broke the arms of two of the sect's elders, and from then on, all banners of flags and drums of war …"
"Then, I had nothing to do for a long time … I wanted to come to the Residence of Nine Supremes to find you, but thinking that I've been in the School of Imperial Beasts for so many years, I felt like old friends, especially during this period of time. The food prepared by that kid was far better than before, so it didn't sound good to mention the bear now …"
"Who knew that it was all a conspiracy. The so-called improvement of my meals was actually an opportunity for them to poison and drug my meals … Then, they mobilized the entire sect to kill me …"
The black bear's eyes were filled with hatred. "Luckily, you gave me a stream of energy during the competition … I didn't use it, so I managed to keep my head clear … It was so close that I made it all the way to the Residence of Nine Supremes …"
The black bear obviously did not know that he was already exhausted when he came to the Residence of Nine Supremes. Moreover, his last breath of energy had dissipated when he came to the rescue. If it were not for Yun Yang's timely injection of vitality, he would have been completely drained and his soul would not have been able to recover.
"It's alright, it's alright … Since you're here now, you're completely safe," Yun Yang comforted him.
"The only thing you need to do now is to rest well. We'll talk about the rest after you've recovered."
The black bear nodded weakly.
"Hmm … What do you plan to do about the Beast Trainer Sect? Do you have any thoughts of seeking revenge and justice in the future?" Yun Yang paused and asked the black bear bluntly.
The black bear tilted his head and began to ponder. After a long time, he said, "Forget it … It's all just a sin. If I really destroy his efforts and destroy the Beast Trainer Sect, it'll be the same as erasing the first half of my life … It's better to leave some memories behind. In the future, we'll mind our own business … As long as they don't come looking for me, I won't go looking for trouble with them …"
After the black bear finished speaking, it went back to sleep.
Yun Yang nodded and sighed softly.
He did not expect the Black Bear King to be such a sentimental person … a sentimental bear.
In all fairness, if the Black Bear King had asked for Yun Yang's help in his revenge, Yun Yang would have helped. However, he would never dare to treat the Black Bear King as one of his own. The Black Bear King and the Beast Trainer Sect had a deep relationship and had been in the sect for many years. It was difficult to erase the ties between them. Although the people of the Beast Trainer Sect had tried to kill the Black Bear King because he wanted to leave, the root cause was still the Black Bear King's abandonment of their ties. Yun Yang questioned himself. While he did not agree with the actions of the people of the Beast Trainer Sect, it was difficult to criticize them based on their standpoint.
Now that the Black Bear King had cast aside his gratitude and grudges and written off the vengeance that had killed him, he had reached his limit. Looking at the disappointment and bewilderment on this fellow's face, this matter would probably be a knot in the Black Bear King's heart that was difficult to unravel.
However, Yun Yang had no way of unraveling it. There was probably no one in this world who could undo this knot for him!
"Let's recuperate first."
Yun Yang thought about it for a long time.
Emotions had always been a complicated thing.
When it came to measuring a person's character and bottom line, one would usually start from emotions.
Yun Yang asked himself, 'I feel relieved that the Black Bear King has chosen to stop and not seek revenge, but do I feel a little disappointed as well?'
However, if the Black Bear King had chosen revenge and bloodshed, would he be even more disappointed?
Yun Yang asked himself, 'How can I not be disappointed at a time like this?'
After thinking for a long time, he sighed.
"There's no solution."
"However, can a loyal person only suffer losses?"
Yun Yang stood in the sky and thought for a long time. (I've thought about this question for a long time as well.)
…
After a period of time, the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes began to leave the sect in batches to roam the martial world and experience the mortal world. Those who remained in the sect would only become more diligent in their cultivation, not slacking off for even a moment.
During this period of time, the Jianghu could be said to be in a state of peace. Even if there were occasional battles, they were just sporadic killings in the Jianghu, fighting for fame. There were rarely any large scale battles.
In spite of this, the troubles of the secular world still made the Residence of Nine Supremes look more like a paradise, untainted and peaceful.
Not too long ago, the General Commerce League had come again to discuss the matter of entering the Spirit's Grave with Yun Yang. The General Commerce League, who had successfully ascended to the upper-class Celestial Luck Banners, seemed to be even wealthier than before. Conversely, their desire for the good stuff in the Spirit's Grave was still lingering. However, Yun Yang did not bring out anything good this time. There were only a few pieces of Ethereal Amethysts and a stream of air of vitality.
However, this was enough for the General Commerce League. After confirming the next cooperation, the Commerce League hurriedly ended this round of transactions. They came and went in a hurry. After all, they had just been promoted to an upper-class sect. There were many things waiting to be done. It was already commendable that they could take a break from their busy schedule to come here.
On this day, the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes were cultivating enthusiastically as usual. A sudden sword chime startled the group.
"Clang!"
The sound could almost be heard throughout the mountains and valleys. The entire Bound of Universe could hear it.
Everyone was shaken!
More than seventy percent of the more than ten thousand disciples in the Residence of Nine Supremes were swordsmen. At this moment, they could not help but feel shocked at the same time, for their swords had all left their scabbards at this very moment!
They soared into the air simultaneously, emanating a chilling glint.
Yun Yang was playing chess with Dong Qitian at the moment. When he heard the sound, he frowned and looked up. Dong Qitian's expression was unprecedentedly solemn as he said softly, "The King of Swords has come into being!"
"The King of Swords?"
Yun Yang was puzzled by the title. There was no such title among the cultivation ranks, was there?
"Your Second Peak Master … Supreme Sword, Shi Wuchen, right?" Dong Qitian said, "It should be him. He's walked a path of swordsmanship that belongs entirely to him!"
The expression on Dong Qitian's face was a little complicated when he spoke.
Yun Yang was overjoyed. At this moment, he could not care less about Dong Qitian's expression as he got up and was about to rush out.
"Don't be hasty. He's only found the path he should now. He hasn't really succeeded in cultivating it yet."
Dong Qitian watched as the swords slowly descended from the sky and said faintly, "One day, when all the long swords come to greet him on their own like this, with the tips of the swords flying upward, forming the image of thousands of swords worshiping him as they soar into the sky … his swordsmanship can only be said to be accomplished. Only then will his swordsmanship cultivation come to an end and he can step into the world once more. If you go now, you'll only disturb him and distract him. "
Yun Yang stopped immediately and smiled sheepishly. "I see. Thank you for your guidance, senior. This junior almost messed things up on impulse."
"Since the beginning of time, this old man has only heard of one person who has reached such a state. When he comprehended the sword, all the swords shot out at the same time; when he drew his sword, all the swords would greet him!"
Dong Qitian's face was full of emotion. "I wonder how far this Supreme Sword of yours can go."
"May I ask, Senior Dong, who is this Sword Sage?"
"It's Wooden Sword Saint, Ci Hongchen." Dong Qitian's eyes were filled with admiration. "Wooden Sword Saint, Ci Hongchen. What he cultivated from the beginning was to defend the world and protect all living beings in the world!"
"As for Ci Hongchen, he's upright and outspoken, chivalrous and courageous. He's never killed anyone unjustly or wrongly in his entire life in the martial world. As the saying goes, 'The world owes me nothing, I have no regrets in the world!'"
Yun Yang murmured, "The world owes me nothing, I have no regrets in the world …"
He could not help but let out a long sigh and said, "Senior Ci Hongchen's state of mind is amazing and unattainable."
"What I, Yun Yang, have pursued all my life is that in this world, others can owe me, but I don't owe anyone. As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough. I've always boasted that I'm not weaker than others and have always been proud of myself. But now, compared to this Wooden Sword Saint, I'm far from it. The difference is like heaven and earth. "
"It's because I think and think that others owe me, but I don't owe anyone. Deep down, I still care about what others owe me …" Yun Yang said slowly, "My state of mind can't be considered complete when I have such thoughts."
Dong Qitian said quietly, "Actually, with your age, it's already commendable that you can have such a state of mind. It's not bad. Someone like Wooden Sword Saint, who has a pure mind and a sense of defending the world, lives too tiresome. He'll never accept loss. Forever, he only wants to possess, to possess everything that's good and that he cares about. "
"That's why he's destined to be more tired than you."
"Hmm … May I ask, senior, for Senior Ci Hongchen's state of mind to be so pure, he must have ascended to the peak of this world and become a legend of the sword?"
"That's not the case. Wooden Sword Saint used this sword as his foundation back then, but he was still only at the Honor level after three hundred years! He couldn't improve for a very, very long time. It was only when he reached the end of his Honor level lifespan that his thoughts became clear and he understood the truth of Dao's imperfections. Finally, he broke through the shackles and surpassed his own limits. He even changed the iron sword he carried with him to a wooden sword. His cultivation base only truly started from then on, advancing boldly and vigorously. "
Yun Yang's thoughts wandered as he asked, "May I ask where this accomplished swordsman, Senior Wooden Sword Saint, is now?"
Dong Qitian said quietly, "If he hasn't stepped down … he's naturally still … the master of the East Celestial Palace."
The master of the East Celestial Palace!
'It's him?'
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
"According to what senior has said, as long as Yi Tuo walks his own path … his future achievements won't be inferior to Wooden Sword Saint?"
Dong Qitian did not speak for a long time. When Yun Yang thought that he would not answer the question, Dong Qitian said slowly, "That'll only be possible if Shi Wuchen can live until then … There are too many geniuses in the martial world who have died prematurely due to their path …"
"Yi Tuo will definitely succeed."
Yun Yang said firmly.
On another day, the competition between Residence of Nine Supremes and Phoenix Cry Sect began again.
Although it was said to be a competition between the two sects, in fact, it was only a competition between the disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes. However, Yun Yang had still informed Phoenix Cry Sect that it was still a competition between the two sects.
Whether they would come or not was a matter for the higher-ups of Phoenix Cry Sect. It did not matter even if they did not come, but they had to show proper etiquette.
To Yun Yang's surprise, the higher-ups of Phoenix Cry Sect probably wanted to test the progress of their disciples, so they really came with two thousand disciples.
The higher-ups of both sects did not intervene in the competition. Instead, Yun Xiuxin, Bai Yexing, and the others were the judges. After all, it was only a competition between disciples who had just entered the Dao. Whether it was the higher-ups of Residence of Nine Supremes or Phoenix Cry Sect, it was a waste of their talents to be the judges.
This time, the competition was divided into a hundred small arenas, and they took turns to fight. However, what made the Phoenix Cry Sect lose face was that … the Phoenix Cry Sect only occupied one of the top ten positions, and it was the tenth position!
"The environment is the same, the disciples are taught the same, and our cultivation method is even stronger than that of Residence of Nine Supremes. Why did we still get such a result?"
With such questions and grievances, when the people of Phoenix Cry Sect returned, they urged the disciples further on the original basis.
What they did not know was that the disciples who were selected to join Phoenix Cry Sect were even more depressed and murmured to themselves.
"As expected, we really can't compare with them …"
"I knew these guys wouldn't do … They have led us astray and tired us out …"
…
Meanwhile, Yun Xiuxin and the others from Residence of Nine Supremes were furious.
…
"The two questions in this chapter are the two questions that have troubled me for a long time. One is Bear King, and the other … "
