"I don’t know about that. It’s a top-level secret; how could we, the minor cultivators, possibly understand it?"
Hou Niao clicked his tongue. Only cosmic forces like Qingkong could know the roots of Hell Star, or perhaps other beings from outer realms might know sothing. But he, this bumpkin from Jinxiu, knew nothing at all.
"How many of these people have co?"
"There’s no way to count. Eighteen island continents, where can’t they hide? Except for the dicine King Furnace, who can accurately calculate? Besides, what’s the use of knowing? It’s no longer a matter that can be settled by fighting. Anyone who dares to try would be attacked en masse, including ourselves!"
Hou Niao felt a headache coming on. "Senior Sister, why do you think they want to send people to Hell Star from the Anchor Chain realms? Aren’t they just asking for trouble? They were shouting at us to fight just a while ago, and now, so soon after, they’ve completely changed their attitude? Sending people to Hell Star can’t be sothing an ordinary Daoist lineage could do. This is clearly a sect’s action, digging their own foundation like this?"
Yue Duo laughed, "Almost every extinction of a Daoist lineage in the Cultivation World is a hole they dug for themselves! Strange? That’s just the Cultivation World.
If a distant top-level Daoist lineage suddenly visits and asks for a favor, what do you think they would do? Would they sternly refuse? Deliver imdiate justice? No, they’d be delighted to have an opportunity to secretly establish a cooperative relationship with a Great Daoist lineage. Everyone thinks like this, and so..."
She paused, "Moreover, I also estimate that it’s a strategic change of the entire Anchor Chain. They found in the early stage that they couldn’t deal with us, so they changed their approach, sending more outside cultivators in to stir up trouble in the waters. That’s the only way they might profit. After all, Jinxiu is right in this universe, they are closest. If any special incident happens that endangers Jinxiu’s mortals in the cultivation realm, they have a justified reason to intervene!
Creating chaos in Jinxiu is actually to their advantage, understand?"
Yue Duo waved her hand; she rarely spoke so much. Today she was happy, not because she won half a move against Lou Yiren, but because she saw her junior brother finally showing potential.
"What business do you have with ?"
Hou Niao didn’t hesitate, offering a deep bow, "Senior Sister, please pass on the Qingkong System to . I will be eternally grateful for this kindness!"
Yue Duo gave a small smile, "You are mistaken; you should thank the Qingkong Xiao Mountain Daoist, not . I’m just a middleman, not soone you need to show gratitude towards!"
She pointed at him, "The Xiao Mountain Sword Dao is the most powerful sword dao in the entire universe! In the last tens of thousands of years, two Sword Immortals erged, altering the entire cultivation world landscape, indirectly facilitating the birth of a new epoch. Do you think such an inheritance could be easily passed on? Do you think I, an outpost minor cultivator, can make such a decision?
The reason I dare to give you this is simply because the Sword Ancestor has already established arrangents in Jinxiu. Whether it’s your Quanzhen Sword Lineage or the Golden Sword Lineage, they are all part of the Sword Ancestor’s legacy. Although I don’t know why you haven’t grasped the essence, the foundation isn’t wrong. In that sense, calling Senior Sister isn’t inappropriate at all!
That’s also why I gifted you the Sword Light Division—it’s not an external passing on but an internal transmission!"
Hou Niao chuckled happily, rubbing his hands, "Sword Immortals? More than one? Poor little brother, cultivating for a century, finally finds a reliable backer. Senior Sister, are you saying, now in a fight, I can flaunt my connections and act with authority? Could I impose my will across the universe?"
Yue Duo just calmly looked at him; this guy was good in other aspects, just sotis a bit offhand, used to being free and easy, stirring up trouble without knowing limits. Without a backer, he dared to face the twelve angels head-on and bring Spiritual Green into this world. Now that he knows there’s backing, won’t he stir up a storm?
Hou Niao felt a twinge under her gaze and slowly restrained his deanor, "Understood, understood, keep a low profile. Even if there’s a Sword Ancestor, I won’t say a thing!"
To such a laid-back fellow, Yue Duo had to remind him, "There are many Daoist lineages on Jinxiu Continent coming from the spread of Upper Realm Daoists. In theory, they are all scattered seeds, but whether they’re truly connected needs to be seen over ti, requiring a process of identifying the ancestor and returning to the clan.
For the Qingkong Sword Vein, we need a true sword lineage branch, not a group of people just muddling along. You need to prove yourselves!
A Daoist lineage is like this; individuals are too. I can pass you the swordsmanship because you, as an individual, are recognized, not the entire Jinxiu Sword Vein. Understand?"
Hou Niao nodded; it was quite fair.
On the whole, the Qingkong Sword Vein had sowed seeds in Jinxiu long ago. But under the unique conditions of Jinxiu, what blood was a bunch of misshapen fruits. It’s not just the sword vein; it’s the sa for all Daoist lineages that left seeds here. The difference is so turned out like crooked cucumbers, so like poisonous potatoes, so like rotten cabbages... all because the Jinxiu people’s Inner Secret had an extra Purple Mansion.
He himself was considered a rare, fortunate hit among them, passable at best, so Yue Duo recognized him; but this woman didn’t recognize the Quanzhen Sword Lineage. Listening to her, the Qingkong Sword Vein might not even necessarily acknowledge this deford inheritance; it would be too embarrassing to claim.
But he didn’t accept this, keeping his eyes on Yue Duo, "Give so ti, and I’ll return you a true sword vein!"
Yue Duo corrected him again, "Not returning to , but to Qingkong!"
With a wave of her hand, a dozen or so jade scrolls floated before him, "Starting today, I’ll pass on to you the entire Xiao Mountain Sword Lineage system, the Vertical Sword Skill, spiritual power fission, main cultivation technique, various swordsmanship applications, and so on. You shouldn’t go back, just stay here. Although there are still thirty years, it sounds like a long ti, but for a sword lineage inheritance, it’s also very short!
I’ve never taken on disciples or taught anyone, have no experience in this area, so if there are any rough parts along the way, you must bear with it. I believe in talent beneath the stick; there’s no choice, your situation now is special, and it’s impossible to follow the usual routine."
The Sword Light Division, which she passed on over twenty years without interference, was simply a threshold of testing, testing whether Hou Niao had the talent to learn the sword; now that the threshold was crossed, there would be no more free-rein approach, but rather close instruction and guidance.
This was Yue Duo’s way, and also the Xiao Mountain’s way; it might seem unreasonable, but there’s hidden aning.
She had a premonition, no one could predict what would happen in thirty years, but looking at the distant montum of Jinxiu, this junior brother was very likely to be the prophesied one to fulfill the task entrusted to her by the sect. Relying on her alone had beco very difficult, with geniuses and anomalies from various realms of the universe swarming in. Her strength alone would not suffice, so she needed to cultivate a backup to assist her.
There’s no one more suitable than this guy, so, there would be absolutely no holding back.
