Fifth Ring, Dome.
It was the beginning of a new day. The red sun gushed out and the sunlight shone on the earth. The fantasy of the snowy mountain was particularly eye-catching in the early morning. People would never get tired of looking at it.
After the morning lesson, the Dome quickly regained its vitality. The number of sword traces in the sky suddenly increased, whistling back and forth. It was full of vitality.
Reverend Yan Quan looked enviously at the increasingly arrogant sword lights in the sky. He sighed, turned around silently, and began his daily chores. He had been doing these daily chores for dozens of years, and he would continue to do them until he died!
His job was in the Sword Soul Hall. There were tens of thousands of soul lamps in the Dome. It needed someone to take care of it every day. Of course, he was not the only one. There was another Reverend who accompanied him. However, the Reverend was a little old and the family's internal affairs were more troublesome recently. Therefore, he was more responsible.
Yan Quan used to be a cultivator with a little potential. He used the Heavenly Dao to open a path. He worked hard and took advantage of the Heavenly Dao to ascend to the Yuanying level. Unfortunately, for Swordsman, he did not rely on his strength to ascend to the Dome. He could not change the way Swordsman did things in the outside world. The consequence of being free and easy with the sword was that his foundation was damaged. Being assigned such a leisurely job could be considered as spending his old age in peace.
There was nothing to complain about. He could live a few hundred more years and he was very open-minded!
In the Sword Soul Hall, cleaning was not a problem. More importantly, he had to be aware of the situation in the Sword Soul Hall. He had to report the situation to the various halls at any time. For example, the external sword disciples had to report to the Sword Qi Rushing Heaven Pavilion. The internal sword disciples had to report to the Chaotic Thunder Hall. The situation of cultivators above the Yuanying level had to be reported as soon as possible. Then, he had to wait for the higher-ups to investigate the situation before making a decision. However, this had nothing to do with him.
This was not only for work, but also for personal matters!
Some cultivators went out for adventures and important missions and did not return for a long time. Their close friends would use their connections to come to the Sword Soul Hall in order to be the first to know the news of their friends. They might not really be able to do anything, but purely for peace of mind.
Swordsman were still very dangerous outside, especially those Yuanying Zhenren who could explore the universe.
He had a lot of such favors. They were either acquaintances, friends, or fellow disciples. Therefore, in the Dome, although the Sword Soul Hall didn't have much wealth, they had a lot of connections. Who didn't have a few friends outside of the Dome Realm? Who didn't have friends and relatives to send them to? All of this required the first news from Soul Hall!
The Dome Swordsman's dilemma was that he had to maintain a good relationship with Reverend Yan Quan of the Soul Hall, yet he would rather never hear any news about him.
Daoist Master Yan Quan carried out his own management step by step. In the past few months, the Sword Soul Hall could be considered peaceful. It was inevitable that Jin Dan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would have an accident every day. This was also a normal pace. However, the major repairs were fine. There was no bad news!
While he was working, he suddenly felt something strange in the depths of the Soul Hall. That was where the soul lamps of the great cultivators gathered!
His heart sank. In a flash, he had already arrived at the Soul Hall. There were nearly a thousand soul lamps neatly arranged, burning with brilliance. However, one of them was completely extinguished. There was no vitality!
He hurriedly identified it. Under the lamp was a very familiar name — Cigarette Butt!
He wasn't familiar with this person. They hadn't even met once. However, during his time as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this person was the brightest pearl in the Dome. He was a person that all Swordsman in the same realm had to look up to! Not only the Outer Sword, but also the Inner Sword!
He had beaten Xuanyuan's Inner and Outer Swords and swept through the Five Rings Foundation Establishment cultivators' rankings! He was truly a genius that appeared once in a thousand years. His appearance provided the lifeless Outer Sword lineage with too many reasons to be proud!
Later, not long after this person formed the Jin Dan, he didn't stay in the Five Rings to shine. It seemed that he was sent to Blue Sky. After that, he didn't know.
To say something shameful, he didn't have the qualifications to know such a leading figure at that time. The reason why he paid attention was because of a request from an Inner Sword Reverend, Yan Bo. He owed this Reverend a favor.
He sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding one was, who could truly escape death? Relatively speaking, it was already quite good that he was able to stay in this crippled state to guard the Soul Hall.
He shook his hand to send out a sword message. Was Yan Bo at the mountain gate?
In less than half an hour, a sharp aura rushed towards the Soul Hall. It was a bit rude, but Yan Quan understood. The loss of a close friend was a heavy blow to every cultivator's heart. The higher the realm, the more so. Close friends were hard to come by. Everyone shared the same heart. He could understand, so he didn't say anything even if it was a bit presumptuous.
However, the one who rushed in wasn't Yan Bo, but a female Swordsman who was as cold as a fairy. Yan Quan was even more familiar with her. Who didn't know of the Ice Sword Deity's beautiful name as an Outer Sword lineage? She was quite famous in the Dome Peak and even in the Five Rings Yuanying group.
Although he didn't know the inside story, he still conscientiously fulfilled his duty. He didn't speak any nonsense because there was no need for superfluous words in this kind of situation.
"Senior Sister, over here!" Yan Quan led the way to the soul lamp that had just been extinguished.
Smoky stared fixedly at the Soul Lamp, countless images flashing through her mind. That bouncy, sunny, nonchalant, and wretched figure flashed back and forth. She had once thought that if they had to compare who would go the longest among them, it would definitely be this nonchalant fellow. But now ….
"Was it extinguished just now?"
"Just now! I immediately sent out a message! Senior Sister, did this happen during a mission? I haven't seen him in the Dome Peak for many years! "
Yan Cheng shook her head. "It's been 500 years. Who knows what mission he's on!"
Her expression was normal, but the more she was like this, the more Yan Quan knew that something was wrong! Cultivators were deep and reserved. He had seen this kind of situation many times and already knew how to comfort her.
"Senior Sister, in the universe, there are too many factors that affect soul lamps! For Foundation Establishment Jin Dan, once their soul lamp is extinguished, it's very difficult to reignite it! But it's different for Yuanying Perfected Cultivators. With my experience of guarding the Soul Hall for 100 years, there's a 10% to 20% chance that their soul lamp will reignite at some point in the future. This is also the reason why the Soul Hall continues to keep Perfected Cultivators' soul lamps for hundreds of years. Therefore, everything is still unknown. Everything is possible! "
Yan Cheng was very calm. "Thank you! Good people don't live long, but scourges live for thousands of years! I believe that a pest like him wouldn't leave quietly like this! How could it be possible without making some noise? "
After leaving the Soul Hall, Yan Cheng's mood wasn't as indifferent as her appearance. As a rational person, she of course understood the meaning of Yan Quan's words. In fact, it was very biased.
If a Perfected Cultivator's soul lamp was extinguished, it was worth looking forward to reigniting it. However, the possibility of this happening to Yuanying cultivators was very small. She was very clear that the probability of these two levels was mixed together to comfort her!
What exactly happened? She didn't know either!
But she decided to make a trip to Qingkong. First, she wanted to try to become a Monarch in her hometown. Second, she wanted to find the reason why this guy disappeared for 400 years!
If it was the will of the heavens, she couldn't do anything! If it was man-made, there had to be an end!
