However, upon thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising. After all, it has been over six months since he reached the peak of Qi-Refinent.
Although his regression ability is great, it didn’t directly increase his cultivation.
At the sa ti, other transmigrator might have more suitable abilities which can directly aid their cultivation.
Thus, being one step too late wasn’t too concerning.
Imdiately, Shi Jing began to stabilize his cultivation. This process took an entire day.
anwhile, his advancent brought forth another wave of discussion. Since the phenonon was display in bright broad daylight, it was inevitable.
As for Zhao Gongzu, he felt even more lacking. Shi Jing’s advancent only served to motivate him further.
Ye Ming however, like Shi Jing, disappeared after the Inner Court Competition. The reason for this is unknown.
Many assud that he was a lonely individual, who prefer to keep to himself since he was once a demonic path cultivator.
In fact, he is not the only demonic path cultivator in the Sword Cloud Manor to do this. Many who wanted to join the Sword Cloud Manor to reform themselves often kept the sa habit.
Often, demonic path cultivator would remained alone due to their distrust of people. It would take years for them to grow to trust others.
Ironically, while other demonic path cultivator join the Sword Cloud Manor in hope of reforming themselves. Shi Jing end up walking down the demonic path in the midst of the manor.
Sword Cloud Manor. Shi Jing’s Cultivation Cave.
The cloud above was sparse, allowing the deep black sky to rest peacefully. Occasionally, the piercing wind would whisper through the gap of his cultivation gap.
Followed by a lingering earthly scent of the mountain cliffs.
After Shi Jing consolidated his foundation establishnt cultivation, he opened the system panel to check his information.
[Na: Shi Jing.
Ability: Regression (SSS-Ranked)
Cultivation: Foundation Establishnt (Early)
Sword Art:
One Autumn Stroke (Perfection Realm, Heaven-Grade)
Spring Mist Cloud (Minor Mastery, Heaven-Grade)
Seven Constellation Slash (Perfection Realm, Earth-Grade)
Body Refinent Art:
Iron Body Transformation (Peak Realm, Earth-Grade)
Weapon Comprehension: Sword Intent]
For his age, the accumulation of two perfection realm sword art, as well as sword intent would be enough to frightened even a Dao Seed Realm realm powerhouse.
Of course, he was not brazen enough to show off this, unless he wanted to court death.
With his cautious approach regarding the world of cultivation, this was ingrained into his soul. At the sa ti, he recalled obtaining his cultivation cave for the first ti.
’Fortunately, I was able to hid the sword demon fragnt elsewhere before the investigation,’ He thought, sighing a breath of relief.
It can be said that if not for Sect Master, Yan Fei, interference back then, Shi Jing would not know what his fate would be.
Perhaps, he would have had to welco another cycle of regression.
’But I can’t be sure if there is another aning to his actions...’
Not to ntion, with Xing Yue as the witness to the investigation, he was more comfortable.
Even though the Supre Elder, Tian Long, was opposed to this arrangent, could he disobey the orders of the Sect Master?
No!
Thus, Shi Jing, with cautious planning and quick action, was able to clear himself of any suspicion regarding the Sword Demon’s inheritance.
Of course, he could not do this alone.
Ultimately, his background and status was linked back to senior Ming Feng.
However, with the amount of support and favors that Shi Jing brought in, Ming Feng didn’t mind shielding this junior by providing a sufficient amount of validity to Shi Jing’s status.
In fact, this Dao Seed Realm expert even spoke up for him, vetting for his ’righteous’ heart.
Debts and favor, this is how Shi Jing saw it. With Ming Feng’s aid, they can now be considered even. Neither owning each other anything.
At the sa ti, new year has arrived.
With that, Elder Chen Lian, as well as various outer elders departed from the Sword Cloud Manor.
They had one task.
Recruit for disciple!
Three days later, Elder Chen Lian returned with another batch of young talents. Clearly, this man has keen foresight when it cos to recognizing talents.
Not much is needed to be said when it cos to his work efficiency.
Firstly, it was Zhao Gongzu, then Shi Jing. Being able to recruit these two, especially Shi Jing, who was a nobody, brought him to fa.
In fact, other than Shi Jing who broke through. Elder Chen Lian was also able to breakthrough to the Wandering Sea realm.
For this, he can’t help but be grateful to Shi Jing and Zhao Gongzu, especially Shi Jing.
Even now, without Shi Jing inquiry, Elder Chen would occasionally send gifts to Shi Jing’s cultivation cave.
With the various forces vying for Shi Jing’s attention, Elder Chen considered himself fortunate enough to establish an early relationship with him.
Not to ntion, despite Shi Jing early questionable behavior, his dominance during the inner court competition is enough to diminish all that doubt he once held.
Sword Cloud Manor. Sword Cloud Entrance Gates.
If Shi Jing was in person, he would recognize a very familiar sight. A group of youth was following behind Elder Chen as he walked toward the entrance.
This ti, it was another disciple tasked with registering the information at the entrance. This person is actually an outer disciple
"Elder Chen!" He stood up to greet him and bow in salute to the elderly man.
"Help register their information," Elder Chen said, pointing at the group of youths behind him.
Among this crowd, Shi Jing would be startled to recognize a familiar figure.
Ming Muwan.
Unlike before, she is now quiet and distant, her deanor peculiar for soone of her age.
Perhaps Ming Muwan learned it from a certain sobody, or not. This is up for speculations.
anwhile, ever since Shi Jing’s departure, she imrsed herself in cultivation, often asking Ming Feng for guidance as well as resources.
