Chapter 125: Yan Jin’s Obstinance
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The rain continued to fall as ng Chuan, and the other Godfiends descended the mountain silently.
After seeing Senior Brother Qian Yu’s present appearance and the nine nas that Archean Mountain Lord personally carved, everyone’s hearts felt heavy.
“Sigh.” A Godfiend disciple couldn’t help but slam the boulder beside him, reducing a boulder— that was more than ten feet wide—to dust. He gritted his teeth and said, “How infuriating. I wish I was there. We could have killed those demon monarchs alongside each other!”
“If you aren’t strong enough, you will only be sending yourself to your death,” said a female Godfiend disciple beside him coldly.
“One of isn’t enough, but ten or twenty will be enough to turn the tables!” said the Godfiend angrily. “My strength presently isn’t up to par, but it will be in the future. If I don’t have the guts, what’s the point of cultivating to beco a Godfiend?”
The female Godfiend said coldly, “I just want you to calm down. You need to realize the difference in strength.”
“Stop arguing.” ng Chuan said, “Cultivate well on the mountain. Once we are strong, we will be able to kill even more demon monarchs when we leave the mountain.”
The two Godfiend disciples didn’t argue further after ng Chuan spoke. Among the disciples who still remained on the mountain, ng Chuan was the strongest. He was publicly acknowledged as the eldest senior brother. He had quite the prestige.
The disciples quickly scattered after they descended the mountain peak.
“Senior Brother Yan,” shouted Liu Qiyue, who was walking alongside ng Chuan.
Yan Jin stopped in confusion.
“Senior Brother Yan, Ah Chuan, and I have sothing to tell you,” said Liu Qiyue.
“Oh? What’s the matter?” asked Yan Jin. He had been cultivating crazily on Archean Mountain, and he was rather anti-social. The people closest to him were ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. After all, they ca from Eastcalm Prefecture.
“Ah Chuan and I will be leaving the mountain this year,” said Liu Qiyue.
“So early?” Yan Jin was surprised.
ng Chuan nodded as well. “That’s right. The two of us will break through to the Great Solar realm soon! When the ti cos, we will clear the Nine Mystical Caves and descend the mountain.”
“Then, congratulations.” Yan Jin smiled. “I’ll take much longer than the two of you. I’m afraid I will take a few more years.”
“Once we clear the Nine Mystical Caves, we will set up a banquet and invite many good friends,” said ng Chuan with a smile. He had many things he wanted to say to Yan Jin, but he decided against it.
They were from the sa batch of disciples. Only ng Chuan, Ji Yuantong, and Yan Jin successfully cultivated transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies.
Ji Yuantong had vanished for three years before he reappeared on Archean Mountain. He no longer had his arrogance. Instead, he kept a low profile and was more humble. He would often smile at his fellow disciples. After five years on the mountain, Ji Yuantong attained Greater Mastery of the Great Strength Fiend Body. Then, he cleared the Life-and-Death juncture and beca a Godfiend!
Yan Jin was much more obstinate and crazy. He spent ten years on the Azure Lotus Divine Body. He was then forced to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture and beco a Godfiend. Back then, he had only attained Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body. He failed to perfect it.
It was fine. What worried ng Chuan the most was that Yan Jin was focused on cultivating a Black tal Sutra.
From the mont he ca up the mountain, Yan Jin chose a Black tal Sutra—Icefire Seven Absolutes. It was extrely difficult to cultivate a Black tal Sutra without intent guidance. The only disciples remaining on the mountain that had mastered a transcendent-grade Godfiend Body and a Black tal Sutra move were ng Chuan and Yan Chitong.
Yan Chitong had been specially invited up the mountain. He was a young genius who had comprehended Force at the age of thirteen. In terms of talent, he was not inferior to King Calm Sea’s fifth son. His cultivation was slightly slower than the fifth young master, Xue Feng. When he was 16, he perfected the Two World Divine Body and beca a Godfiend! Furthermore, he had also mastered a move of the Red Lotus Flaming Spear Art. He was recognized as a peerless genius who could match ng Chuan and Xue Feng.
Yan Jin, on the other hand, was pitiful. He failed to perfect the Azure Lotus Divine Body after ten years.
The Icefire Seven Absolutes required one to comprehend two sword intents—Ice Sword Intent, and Fire Sword Intent. Then, he needed to combine the two sword intents into one. After eleven years on the mountain, Yan Jin had only comprehended the Ice Sword Intent! Therefore, he had failed to gain basic mastery of Sword Intent. He only managed to beco an Indestructible Godfiend by relying on the Ice Sword Intent.
With Yan Jin’s perception, his sword art realm would probably be much higher than it is now if he had chosen a Heaven-level Godfiend legacy. Perhaps he would have already achieved Sword Soul. ng Chuan sighed. He clearly can’t gain basic mastery of the Black tal Sutra, but he insists on this path. At tis, switching paths can lead to great success.
Yan Jin was too obstinate.
If it weren’t for Archean Mountain having a rule that expelled disciples from the inner sect if they didn’t beco a Godfiend within ten years, Yan Jin would’ve stayed a mortal until he perfected the Azure Lotus Divine Body.
No one forced him to continue cultivating the Black tal Sutra, but he kept at it. He didn’t give up for eleven years! It was rare for Archean Mountain to have such a crazy and persistent disciple.
He had already been advised, and any more interference would only lead to them separating on bad terms.
“Alright, rember to invite when the two of you hold the banquet,” said Yan Jin with a smile. “I’m going back to cultivate. If there’s anything, you can find at Fluttering Snow Peak.”
With that said, he turned and left. He headed to Fluttering Snow Peak alone. Up until now, he was the only disciple that lived there. It was too remote.
ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are about to descend the mountain? Yan Jin thought. They were his only two friends on the mountain.
That’s good also. Only by being alone can one be completely devoid of emotions. Only then will I have a chance of mastering the Icefire Seven Absolutes. Yan Jin coldly rushed towards the Fluttering Snow Peak.
...
“Ah Chuan, I’m a little worried about Senior Brother Yan’s personality.” Liu Qiyue and ng Chuan walked side by side towards Bright Scenic Peak. “Senior Brother Yan is too anti-social and doesn’t like to interact with people. All fellow Archean Mountain disciples help each other, but Senior Brother Yan keeps people at a distance... Others can’t get close to him.”
ng Chuan nodded. “Qiyue, Yan Jin and I are the sa age. He’s already 29 years old. Many mortals are conscripted into military service when they are twenty. Many of them die on the battlefield. He’s 29 years old. We don’t need to worry about how he should lead his life.”
Liu Qiyue nodded thoughtfully.
“The two of us should focus on our cultivation. It’s our final period of peaceful cultivation. Once we leave the mountain, we’ll be on the battlefield,” said ng Chuan solemnly. This was a much more pressing issue.
“Yes, we’re about to head to the battlefield.” Liu Qiyue also looked forward to it. After cultivating for over ten years, she wanted to leave the mountain and slay demon monarchs!
...
Just half a month later. October 17th, afternoon.
Sunlight shone into the study through the window. ng Chuan was painting.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from a nearby room.
“Huh?” ng Chuan imdiately put down his brush, pushed the door open, and rushed out.
When he arrived at Qiyue’s cultivation chamber, he imdiately saw Liu Qiyue standing there. A pair of flaming wings appeared behind Liu Qiyue! The red wings fluttered slightly, making her look extrely agile and nimble.
“You broke through?” ng Chuan revealed a look of delight.
Liu Qiyue nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, after attaining Greater Mastery of the Realm of Soul, my control over the phoenix fire has beco much more exquisite. I can now condense a pair of phoenix wings. Using this, I can fly.”
“Fly?” ng Chuan was amazed. “How enviable.”
He was unable to fly even at the Great Solar realm.
Of course, when he reached the Great Solar realm, he could travel a kiloter in a single leap. If he used the Swallow Stance, he could cross 2.5 kiloters without needing to land! However, it was still different from true flight.
“There are countless Godfiends in this world who are envious of your speed.” Liu Qiyue covered her mouth and giggled. “By the way, Ah Chuan, I’ve already broken through. I just need so ti to consolidate my cultivation before I break through to the Great Solar realm tomorrow night. What about you?”
“I’ll break through tonight,” said ng Chuan. “I’ve been waiting for too long.”
