Chapter 1984: Chapter 1966: Has Elder Shi Gone Berserk?
The Sky Sword Ancestor saw that Jue Tiannan truly understood his intentions. After a brief thought, he said to Jue Tiannan, "These things are for you to know and must never be spoken to a third party. If the secret gets out, our Divine Sword Sect will face total annihilation! Also, do not behave unusually; act as you normally would to avoid arousing suspicion, understand?"
"Yes, Ancestor, I know what to do." Jue Tiannan responded at this mont. He certainly understood what the Sky Sword Ancestor ant; even if the ancestor hadn’t said so, he would have done it anyway. But suddenly, his expression changed as he asked, "Ancestor, there won’t be any issues on our side at the Divine Sword Sect, but what about the Heaven Demon Forest? Will there be any problems there?"
"Rest assured, I’ve already told the old friend there. In the Heaven Demon Forest, those who have seen Fang Yan are all Demon Venerables and Demon Immortals amongst the Demon Beasts. They will keep quiet about Fang Yan’s matters. Compared to humans, Demon Beasts are more trustworthy; what they say is what it is." The Sky Sword Ancestor replied calmly. This was sothing he had considered beforehand, so everything had already been arranged.
Upon hearing this, Jue Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Sky Sword Ancestor, "Ancestor, I take my leave."
"Go on. Rember, do not display any irregularities." The Sky Sword Ancestor waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
Jue Tiannan responded and then turned to leave the Sky Sword Ancestor’s room.
After leaving, his mind was still chaotic. The things the Sky Sword Ancestor had told him were truly shocking. If these words had not co from the Sky Sword Ancestor, he would never have believed them. Thinking about Fang Yan’s current strength made his heart race.
Oh well, take it one step at a ti!
At this mont, Jue Tiannan was also unsure of how to proceed with the next arrangents. Sighing, he then disappeared from where he stood...
The Heavenly Court of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Fang Yan, congratulations!"
"Fang Yan, congratulations!"
...
The news of Fang Yan officially becoming a Taoist spread here, imdiately bringing delight to everyone, who rushed to congratulate Fang Yan. Everyone understood that with Fang Yan’s strength, he could have long beco a Taoist. If it hadn’t been for the ddling of the Great Elder and others, this would have already been decided. But even now, the news is not too late. Since they were here, they naturally had to congratulate Fang Yan.
"Thank you." Seeing everyone like this, Fang Yan smiled and nodded at the crowd and then said, "It’s getting late; everyone should go back and rest."
The reason for saying this was that Fang Yan had other things to attend to. On his return, he was imdiately surrounded by everyone for almost six hours; by then, night had fallen. Just as well, he used this reason to send everyone away.
Hearing Fang Yan say this, Wang Chang and the others also understood what he ant. Having already expressed their sentints, they let Fang Yan attend to his other matters. Thus, everyone bid farewell and left at that ti.
Once everyone had left, Fang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, turning to look at Qin Kun and Wu Shan beside him, and said to them, "Go ahead, do you have anything you want to tell ?"
Fang Yan had long noticed the two hesitating to speak, certainly having sothing inconvenient to say in front of everyone. Now that there was no one else, he wanted to know what they intended to say.
"Boss, Wu Shan and I feel that our progress in cultivation in the sect has been very limited. We want to follow you to conquer other cultivation realms; is that possible..." Qin Kun looked at Fang Yan and, biting his teeth, finally voiced his thoughts. The steady approach to cultivation in the sect was painfully slow, and he now desperately craved battle, the kind that exists between life and death!
"Boss, both of us feel the sa way; can you take us with you?" Wu Shan added at this mont. Truth be told, he wanted to go to other cultivation realms even more than Qin Kun. For him, only through battle could his strength quickly elevate, and he really didn’t want to stay within the sect anymore.
"So that’s what you wanted to talk about..." Fang Yan, hearing them, couldn’t help but smile. He said to them, "This ti, I ca back to take you both out for a look around. Before becoming a Taoist, it was hard to say, but now that I’m taking both of you along, others can’t say a word against it."
Observing the two, Fang Yan found it amusing; he had already arranged everything, and they hadn’t even waited for him to speak before expressing their eagerness. However, Fang Yan was happy with their mindset. The path of cultivation inherently goes against the natural order, and without a constant drive to advance, it’s impossible to reach the pinnacle.
"So Boss thought the sa thing, haha!"
"The boss is truly the boss, he knows what we’re thinking."
When Qin Kun and Wu Shan heard Fang Yan say this, they both laughed. Neither of them had expected that Fang Yan had already thought of these things. Reflecting on their earlier conversations, they couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that the boss had foreseen everything long ago. If they had known this earlier, they wouldn’t have needed to worry about those things.
"Let’s go, co with
to see Elder Shi."
Seeing that everything had been resolved, Fang Yan said this and turned to lead the two of them to see Shi Kuohai. On the way, he was puzzled by one thing: knowing Shi Kuohai’s character, he would surely have sought him out first upon returning. Why hadn’t he seen Shi Kuohai until now? Had sothing happened to him?
In an instant, the three of them arrived at Shi Kuohai’s hut. Upon entering, they found Shi Kuohai lying on the bed, with Elder Zhou sitting beside him. This surprised the three of them; none had expected that Shi Kuohai would be in trouble again.
It wasn’t only Lin Feng—even Qin Kun and Wu Shan had heard nothing. They could hardly believe that what they were seeing was real...
"Fang Yan is here, have a seat." Elder Zhou said with a smile as he looked at Fang Yan.
"Elder Zhou, what’s going on?" Fang Yan did not sit but walked up to Elder Zhou and asked directly, truly wanting to know what had happened to Shi Kuohai.
"Alas... it’s a long story. Last ti, after you helped heal his injuries, he started cultivating desperately. But he overlooked one thing: he is no longer the young man he once was, and his cultivation was too rapid. Ultimately, he lost control and went into deviation. When I arrived three days ago, he was still conscious. But since yesterday, he has been in a complete coma."
Elder Zhou sighed as he spoke, feeling troubled for Shi Kuohai. Once upon a ti, Shi Kuohai was the sect’s number one genius. Although he had since fallen, with Lin Feng’s help, his ridians were reconstructed, allowing him to cultivate normally. How could he fall into deviation?
Logically, this shouldn’t have happened. Yet it did, leaving him baffled. Given Shi Kuohai’s mindset, it seed impossible for such a thing to occur...
"This..."
When Fang Yan heard this, he was also at a loss for words. Deviation usually stems from issues with one’s mindset or overly rapid cultivation due to an unstable foundation. Yet, from what he knew of Shi Kuohai, neither should apply. Clearly, there was more to it.
With this realization, Fang Yan’s expression beca serious. He addressed Elder Zhou and his two followers, "Leave Elder Shi to . You all wait outside, and make sure no one disturbs ."
Hearing this, Qin Kun and Wu Shan imdiately turned and left. Elder Zhou looked at Fang Yan with eyes full of wonder, not expecting him to be able to treat Elder Shi’s deviation. Such a feat was beyond him—or likely anyone in the sect. Elder Zhou wondered whether Fang Yan was truly capable!
It’s important to know that deviation is unlike ordinary issues. It ans that the cultivator’s Gang Qi is in an unstable state, and anything could happen at any mont. It’s like a bomb ready to explode. Others dared not intervene, as it could lead to even more severe consequences. Generally, soone in deviation must rely on themselves to overco it; others simply cannot help!
Yet, seeing Fang Yan’s solemn and resolute expression, Elder Zhou knew Fang Yan might really have a way to save Shi Kuohai. For Shi Kuohai’s sake, Elder Zhou finally left the hut, standing guard outside with Qin Kun and Wu Shan as Fang Yan’s protectors.
Once the three had left, Fang Yan waved a hand, instantly producing a piece of gold. A flash of fire accompanied by his hand followed, and the gold lted into liquid. With Fang Yan’s Gang Qi, the gold quickly transford into dozens of hair-thin golden needles!
As he looked at the floating golden needles, Fang Yan’s expression beca even more serious, and he slowly closed his eyes...
"Swish, swish, swish..."
As soon as he closed his eyes, the golden needles in the air all plunged into Shi Kuohai, sealing the ridians throughout his body. Then, Fang Yan gathered his Divine Sense and cautiously entered Shi Kuohai’s sea of consciousness.
He had to awaken Shi Kuohai’s Divine Soul. Only when his Divine Soul was awake would Shi Kuohai truly be saved.
At that mont, Shi Kuohai was dreaming. In his dream, he had fallen into the Thunder Prison, where the entire sky had turned blue from the thunder prison, and his body was being relentlessly bombarded, having long been battered and torn...
In such circumstances, although Shi Kuohai was gritting his teeth and holding on, it was clear he couldn’t last much longer. His body had countless charred marks, with so areas even pierced through by lightning!
Looking at the endless thunder around him, Shi Kuohai was in despair. He didn’t want to die, but in such an environnt, he couldn’t hold on. As he recalled past events, tears began to well up in his eyes. He never imagined he would die here... Just as he was despairing, a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him—it was Fang Yan!
