Chapter 1592: Chapter 1593: You Call This Restraint?
It would be impossible to say that Wan Qiu had no intention of taking Yu Yanshu as a disciple; from the mont he first saw her, Wan Qiu had sensed sothing extraordinary about her.
This uniqueness was one of a kind; Su Chengyu couldn’t compare, and neither could Long Xuan, whom he had t before.
Even Wan Qiu True Master himself couldn’t explain why, but upon seeing Yu Yanshu, he was convinced that she might be the only person in this world who could truly understand his Sword Dao and carry it forward.
However, after interacting with Yu Yanshu, he quickly abandoned the idea of actively taking her as his disciple.
There was no helping it; he was a step behind others, and one couldn’t just forcefully snatch her away with their cultivation strength, right?
Putting aside the issue of losing face, Su Chengyu still had possession of the Supre Daoist Scripture, which Quanzhen sect desired the most.
But Wan Qiu was not in a hurry. During their journey southward with the two, this Daoist who stood alone at the pinnacle of contemporary Sword Dao intentionally and unintentionally revealed the fundantals of his Sword Dao, which Yu Yanshu kept an eye on and rembered by heart.
Is the title of disciple that important?
To Wan Qiu Daoist, the fact that soone could carry on his Sword Dao—which he himself couldn’t push into the Earth Immortal Realm—was already the greatest fortune in the world.
What’s more…
The bold conjecture that flashed through his mind eventually went no further; after Wan Qiu confird the direction of Yu Yanshu’s Sword Montum, he completely dismissed the idea of drawing his sword.
Yu Yanshu’s sword strike was already sufficient for the two of them to carve out a path through the surging Spiritual Energy storm, directly reaching the entrance of the Cave Heaven that had been torn open on the other side.
As for Wan Qiu Daoist himself, the mont the entrance to the Cave Heaven appeared, he had already realized what was happening.
His gaze reached far into the distance, where the fleeting breath had dissipated too quickly. Even with his capabilities, he couldn’t confirm which person had slipped into the Cave Heaven hundreds of miles away, but that inexplicably familiar sensation still caught his attention.
Soone from Quanzhen Sect?
The instant the doubt flashed through his mind, Bai Huang and Yu Yanshu had already rushed into the Cave Heaven passage.
Without further hesitation, Wan Qiu Daoist transford into a streak of white light and Sword Qi, directly entering the Cave Heaven entrance.
Following the three’s landing, Qingqiu—now drastically altered in appearance—finally ca into view before them.
“Is this Qingqiu?”
It wasn’t the dilapidation they’d imagined. In fact, it couldn’t even be considered rarely visited by people, as the thick Spiritual Energy was accompanied by signs of long-term habitation.
Although there was no construction nearby, the official road not far away was enough to prove many things.
Bai Huang, looking around at the unfamiliar environnt, took a few steps back, sowhat dazed. Equally confounded and unsure how to answer Yu Yanshu’s question, it was then that Wan Qiu Daoist, who had been silent for a while, took the initiative to speak.
“It should be Qingqiu, except that it has likely been renad now and is no longer the Cave Heaven you are familiar with.”
As he spoke, Wan Qiu started to perform a Dao technique from Quanzhen, and with the spell cast, his eyes instantly turned golden—a thod similar to Qingcheng’s Qi Watching Technique, allowing Wan Qiu Daoist to see many things invisible to ordinary people.
The flow of nature’s spiritual energy, and the source of this world…
“Senior?”
Bai Huang looked up at Wan Qiu, unsettled. He, who was supposed to guide the trio, was now completely confused about the current situation.
Using the Dao technique from before to confirm his guesses, Wan Qiu, sword in right hand, drew a line in the void.
The Sword Qi, devoid of any strength, simply fell to the ground, as if dividing heaven and earth in two.
“This marks the boundary; this is Qingqiu, while that is another Cave Heaven that has just recently fused into this land over the past few decades.”
“Cave Heaven… Fused?”
Yu Yanshu looked at the dividing line on the ground, glanced at the so-called two chunks of Cave Heavens, but could not discern any clues.
She naturally knew that Cave Heavens, akin to additional spatial existences, would naturally dissipate and grow. Moreover, many man-made Cave Heavens would quickly disappear in a short ti if the Heart of the Dongtian was lost. However, the notion of integrating two Cave Heavens was sothing she had never heard of.
“Don’t look at ; this is the first ti I’ve encountered such a thing. Forget about the Hollow Vacuum, even an Earth Immortal, there probably aren’t many in this world who possess such a thod. And moreover…”
Seeing Wan Qiu, who suddenly stopped mid-sentence, Yu Yanshu imdiately felt a sense of unease and quickly pressed, “And what?”
“What I an is that even if an Earth Immortal were to do it, it is highly unlikely that a single Earth Immortal could accomplish it.”
The words of Wan Qiu Daoist struck the hearts of the two like a heavy hamr. Before Wan Qiu had spoken plainly, Yu Yanshu and Bai Huang had only just begun to consider which Cave Heaven might be connected to Qingqiu.
And these words drew the worst possible conclusion to their speculations.
“It really is the Luo Clan…”
“Two, or even more, Earth Immortals?”
Bai Huang’s disappointnt and Yu Yanshu’s concern were both noticed by Wan Qiu, who looked at the two young individuals, who strictly speaking were down the mountain for the first ti, and chuckled lightly.
“It’s not too late to leave now. Although there are traces of people’s movents within a hundred miles, no one is actually here. Taking advantage of the borderland where these two chunks of winter intersect, I am confident I can get the two of you out of here.”
Wan Qiu’s words were very clear—if it weren’t for this location, if not for the lack of Earth Immortal interference, even he would not be able to forcefully take them away from this place; to continue staying would push both of them through a trial that could be tougher even than the so-called nine deaths and one life.
Yu Yanshu bit her lip and did not speak, instead turning to look at Bai Huang beside her.
Although she had her own personal interests at this mont, the ultimate purpose of their trip was to go to Qingqiu in search of the remaining artifacts of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan.
Yet Bai Huang, who had recently suffered a trendous defeat in the Capital City, stated contrary to his usual behavior, “Senior, I still want to look a bit further. And even if we truly encounter people from the Luo Clan, we don’t necessarily have to resort to violence, right?”
Wan Qiu laughed wryly and replied casually, “Then ask , these Ancient Clan mbers are high-strung and regard themselves very highly. Even in my encounters with them, I held back sowhat, yet there are still no less than a hundred Ancient Clan mbers who have fallen to my sword.”
“Nearly a hundred? You call that holding back?”
Bai Huang asked in surprise.
Wan Qiu spoke a bit indignantly, “Do you think I just left the seclusion like you? I have trained in the Sword Dao for nearly a hundred years, and to have defeated only dozens of the Ancient Clan mbers is already restraint, isn’t it?”
Bai Huang, realizing he had misspoken, said sullenly, “How many people from the Luo Clan are there?”
“It’s alright, if I’m not mistaken, there are just three or five of them, mostly insignificant figures. However, you’d better not hold out too much hope, and not just with these Ancient Clans. Even ordinary Aristocratic families won’t be reasoned with if you barge into soone’s house unsolicited.”
“So you’re scared?”
The one asking was Yu Yanshu, who was the only one to ask such direct questions, but fortunately, Wan Qiu didn’t dislike this trait.
“Why would I be? If I can’t beat them, I’ll just have to kill a few hundred more.”
Wan Qiu Daoist grinned, speaking forthrightly. In Quanzhen Sect, among his peers, he couldn’t speak about the Dao, his cultivation wasn’t outstanding.
The only thing he had to brag about was one thing.
Killing with a sword.
