Chapter 727 - Her Three Hundred Years Ago
Gong Yang glanced at the Blind Swordsman with a confused expression. It went without saying that the Blind Swordsman had only acquired the rare artifact to treat his injuries. However, why would he come to this place to treat his injuries?
"Endless Return, the Golden Orb transforms into a spirit!"
The Blind Swordsman closed his eyes while a powerful sword intent was fired into the sky, which transformed into a gust of wind encapsulating the Yin-Yang Golden Orb.
The Yin-Yang Golden Orb began to buzz vigorously as streams of arcane force were emitted from it and entered the Blind Swordsman's body.
Time trickled by.
After the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, the Yin-Yang Golden Bead exploded into pieces with a bang. The Yin-Yang energy contained within the bead was completely sucked away.
BANG!
A loud explosion took place.
The destructive aura inside the Blind Swordsman's object vanished as his cultivation skyrocketed.
Eighth-layer Martial Sacred Realm!
Ninth-layer Martial Sacred Realm!
In the blink of an eye, he had reached the peak of the Martial Sacred Realm.
"Who would have thought senior would be a peak Martial Sacred Realm expert …" Gong Yang's eyes were filled with astonishment.
The Blind Swordsman's cultivation was definitely higher than Progenitor Wen Dao's.
"Follow me up the mountain."
The Blind Swordsman rose from the ground, showing no sign of joy after recovering his cultivation.
Gong Yang did not overthink it and followed him into the forbidden area of the Dao-Seeking Mountain. As they arrived at the top of the mountain, Gong Yang's eyes were filled with astonishment.
He could only see several stone statues standing at the waist of the mountain.
These stone statues were dressed in clothes of different colors and had different expressions. They were so lifelike that it was as if they were transformed from living people.
"You're right, these stone statues were real people when they were alive. However, they had disobeyed the rules of the Dao-Seeking Mountain, thus they were refined into stone statues. "The Blind Swordsman explained.
"Refined into stone statues? They were real people when they were alive? "
Gong Yang's face was filled with astonishment.
He had never heard of such secrets before.
"Ever since the Dao-Seeking Mountain was established, it has always emphasized that benefits are paramount in the world of martial arts. Many disciples of the Dao-Seeking Mountain felt that there was something wrong with the theory. They believed that in the Martial World, regardless of whether one was a cultivator or a beast, one should have emotions … "
The Blind Swordsman casually pointed at one of the statues and said in a calm tone, "This man and his Junior Sister were in love with one another, but the Dao-Seeking Mountain decided to betroth his Junior Sister to a genius of the Trading Alliance, in order to strengthen the relationship between the Trading Alliance and the Dao-Seeking Mountain. This person was instantly enraged. He raised his sword and went to argue, but was later killed. "
Gong Yang's face was filled with shock.
In the Dao-Seeking Mountain, martial strength was king.
He knew about this, but he didn't know that it was already this serious.
"In the world of martial arts, benefits are paramount?"
This wasn't right at all!
Humans, no matter how powerful they were, were still humans and had emotions.
The Blind Swordsman fell silent after saying this. He led Gong Yang past the statues.
A gust of wind blew. Halfway up the mountain, snowflakes danced in the air, as if they were soundless.
Gong Yang had a feeling that he was hallucinating.
The statues here in the past had revolted against the Dao-Seeking Mountain. Even after such a long time had passed, it felt like their will still existed.
The Blind Swordsman's figure shuddered as he came to a stop.
Gong Yang raised his head and saw a woman standing at the edge of the cliff.
The woman had an ordinary appearance, but an indescribable heroic aura could be sensed from her forehead. It was obvious that she was once an incredible expert when she was alive.
"Senior." Gong Yang called out, and realized that the Blind Swordsman did not respond, thus he proceeded to call out again.
The Blind Swordsman collected his thoughts. The Sword Intent emitting from his body became extremely silent.
Gong Yang was not stupid. He immediately realized that there must be something between this woman and this senior, thus he remained silent.
After a while, the Blind Swordsman slowly spoke with a hoarse voice, "Three hundred years ago, I had just achieved the Martial Sacred Realm, and was quite respected in the Dao-Seeking Mountain. After that, I recruited eight disciples, and she was one of them. She was the most talented among my disciples, with an eighth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit. When she achieved the peak Martial Highness Realm, the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault happened to be open. She went there and stumbled into the Godly Candles Path. She set foot on the Godly Candles Path and found twenty rare artifacts, allowing her to achieve the Martial Sacred Realm … "
Gong Yang fell silent.
He had heard about the Godly Candles Path that had appeared three hundred years ago.
"After achieving the Martial Sacred Realm, she broke off our relationship." The Blind Swordsman said.
Gong Yang was startled as he asked, "She betrayed you?"
"Uhh …" The Blind Swordsman's face blushed slightly as a thought crossed his mind, "That's not the case. She said that since she's my disciple, she's not allowed to be with me openly, thus she decided to cut ties with me."
Gong Yang was startled.
"But …"
The Blind Swordsman let out a sigh and said, "Good things don't last forever. She rebelled against the Dao-Seeking Mountain and challenged them. Following that, she was turned into a statue. I tried to save her, but my cultivation was too weak at that time."
The Blind Swordsman's tone turned incredibly cold toward the end.
Gong Yang finally understood why the Blind Swordsman had completely given up on the Dao-Seeking Mountain.
"How shameless of the Dao-Seeking Mountain."
Gong Yang's expression turned cold too.
"Now that it's destroyed, there's no need to mention it." The Blind Swordsman turned around and said to Gong Yang, "Now that I have nothing to worry about, I'll pass on my sword art to you. I hope you can bring it to greater heights."
With a wave of his hand, he grabbed a jade slip and handed it to Gong Yang solemnly.
"This …"
Gong Yang's eyes were filled with astonishment. Why was he suddenly giving him the sword art?
Despite being confused, he still accepted it.
The Blind Swordsman turned around and took a step forward without hesitation.
BANG!
An illusionary flame burst out from his body.
Gong Yang's expression changed drastically when he saw this. He said, "Senior, what are you doing? Why are you burning your life force? "
That's right!
The Blind Swordsman was burning his life force!
"Why the heavens, do not speak of life, the Heavenly Dao revolves, why the torment …"
The Blind Swordsman murmured as if he did not hear anything, executing an ancient forbidden art. Following that, he took one step after another forward.
In the blink of an eye, he had taken eight steps.
"Heavens, I'm willing to trade a hundred years of my lifespan for a day of light!"
In the end, the Blind Swordsman uttered a roar into the sky.
Whoosh.
An enormous amount of life force flowed out from his body. The Blind Swordsman's hair instantly turned pale white, while the wrinkles on his face became even deeper.
Previously, he had been an old man, but now, he was in his twilight years.
"Senior, you …"
Gong Yang did not expect the Blind Swordsman to execute the forbidden art in exchange for a day of light.
"Gong Yang, I was born with a bad eyesight. I've never seen light since I was born. However, it doesn't matter. I practice the art of swordsmanship. With the sword in my hand and the sword in my heart, it doesn't matter if I can see or not. However, I would like to see her with my own eyes. "The Blind Swordsman said in a soft tone.
He had not traded with Qin Nan to acquire the rare artifact to recover his cultivation, but to execute the forbidden art.
In exchange for a day of light.
"Senior …" Gong Yang shook his head with a wry smile, "With your current cultivation, you should be able to see her appearance with your sword intent, right? Why would you waste a hundred years of your lifespan just to see her … "
Gong Yang was confused.
"The others told me that she was the prettiest when she smiled. I could only hear her laughter, but not her smile. When I tried to take a look, she was already dead."
The Blind Swordsman said in a calm tone. His eyelids shuddered, before they slowly opened in the end.
It was his first time opening his eyes. The unfamiliar feeling caused tears to flow out from his eyes.
"I've finally found you."
The Blind Swordsman reached out his hand and caressed the face of the woman statue. His tone was gentle like never before.
"But …"
Gong Yang was about to say something, but he held himself back.
He wanted to say, So what if she opened her eyes? She was already dead. She could no longer smile in front of you.
Since she was dead, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Either way, he had to accept the truth.
"Sigh, why bother?"
Gong Yang let out a sigh.
All of a sudden, he saw the lifeless statue of the woman slowly curl her lips into a smile. It was like a hundred flowers blooming. As she smiled, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. Everything was silent.
