80: Chapter 80 Sword Sect Founder, Yu Xiu

The Grand Elder actually found it somewhat hard to accept.

There are many geniuses in this world, and prodigies as well, but whether they are geniuses, prodigies, or even those equally unreasonable prodigies, their growth trajectories are actually visible.

Perhaps their cultivation speed is fast, allowing them to quickly master any Cultivation Technique or martial art, resulting in rapid progress in strength.

Or perhaps they are gifted, with one day of cultivation equaling ten days, half a month, or even a month or several months of others.

Or perhaps they have excellent Luck, always able to obtain rare spiritual items, with their strength changing every single day.

There are also those who, from the beginning of their cultivation, advance by leaps and bounds, without Bottlenecks or pauses.

The Grand Elder could accept all of these things; he had heard that on some major cultivation stars, there are those born as martial seeds, possessing wisdom light at birth, born with nine apertures, destined to form nine Dongtian Realms.

He had also heard of wondrous spirits nurtured by heaven and earth, born with strength comparable to the King Realm, their Divine Treasuries opened naturally, connecting with heaven and earth.

The Universe of heaven and earth is boundless and vast, far too vast.

Even those existences who once stood at the 'Emperor' position had to undergo various bitter battles while climbing to the top, finally suppressing all Daos to ascend and become an 'Emperor'.

But Yu Xiu is different; he had been in the Qingwei Sword Sect for a little over three years, and for the first three years, he was unknown.

After three years, he began to stand out, and after that...

It could no longer be described as merely standing out; he took off directly!

Soaring into the sky, flying very, very high, so high that even the Grand Elder could not see through him!

Is this reasonable?

Yu Xiu hasn't even been seen practicing any Cultivation Technique; to take off, one must at least be practicing a Cultivation Technique and have a Realm to support it, right?

But the Grand Elder cannot see Yu Xiu's Realm, and he cannot even see traces of the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword Cultivation Technique he previously practiced!

It is as if Yu Xiu is no longer practicing martial arts...

'Could it be that he obtained the Legacy of some Saint and dissolved his Sword Dao Cultivation Technique?'

The Grand Elder had considered this guess, but quickly rejected it.

Because just a short while before Yu Xiu took off, the Grand Elder had personally taught Yu Xiu the second pass of the Great Four Passes, the Five Elements Realm Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword.

It is impossible to say that in just a few days of not seeing him, Yu Xiu mastered a Saint-level Cultivation Technique and became a King all the way?

Or even became a Saint?

This is simply impossible!

Rather than believing this, the Grand Elder would rather believe that Yu Xiu had been subjected to Possession by some old monster of the Saint Realm!

But this also does not make sense.

Although the current Qingwei Sword Sect does not have a Saint presiding over it, outside the Qingwei Sword Sect, there are still Ancestral Master Saints traveling through the starry sky.

Those few Ancestral Master Saints all have their wills remaining within the Sword Sect, guarding it; that is the true foundation of the Sword Sect!

If a Saint old monster were to attempt Possession of Yu Xiu within the Qingwei Sword Sect, those wills of the Sword Sect's Ancestral Masters would inevitably notice and intervene.

But, no, there was absolutely nothing!

'Or could it be that Yu Xiu himself is a Saint, or even the Reincarnation of some existence who was once about to become an Emperor?'

No, the theory of Reincarnation is ethereal; there was once an 'Emperor' who pursued the theory of Reincarnation, only to sigh in the end,

"Born into one life, when the body dies, the Dao dissipates, and everything becomes empty!"

'On Yu Xiu...'

What exactly happened?

Is he currently in the Dongtian Realm?

Is he in the King Realm?

Or a True King?

A Heavenly King?

Or has he already become a Saint?

The more the Grand Elder thought about it, the more shocked he became; he himself is a big shot with seven Dongtian Realms, standing at the pinnacle when looking across Yan Province, or even the entire Wangding Star.

Yet even a person like him could not see Yu Xiu's sword strike, much less see through Yu Xiu's Realm and cultivation.

This indicates that Yu Xiu's strength is above his.

Then, at the very least, Yu Xiu is in the Void Realm, and at the highest...

There is no highest!

"Go back. The Baifeng Sect attacked and killed Sword Sect Disciples; their crimes are unforgivable. From this day forward, the name of the Baifeng Sect shall not be allowed to circulate within Yan Province."

The Grand Elder looked at the transparent bead the size of a pellet in his hand; his mind was no longer on the Baifeng Sect.

Qin Shaoshang and that Elder of Powang Peak, Wei Qian, did not stay long and took their leave.

'I should go and ask the Ancestral Master.'

The Grand Elder rose, heavy with thoughts, intending to seek the will left behind by Ancestor Linyuan.

Ancestor Linyuan must have seen Yu Xiu; all Disciples who have seen the Sword Worship Stone have been seen by Ancestor Linyuan.

For a Saint, there is very little in this world that can escape their eyes.

They have already become Saints, and are also Saints of heaven and earth; with one glance they can see through stars, with a raised hand they can grasp the sun and moon, and with a step they can cross the galaxy, possessing supreme power.

Just as the Grand Elder was about to leave, a streak of sword light flew over, which the Grand Elder reached out and caught.

"A message from the Sect Leader?"

The Grand Elder was puzzled and crushed the Flying Sword message.

Then he saw words appearing in his mind.

"Ancestor Linyuan has decreed: from this day forward, Yu Xiu of Zhanlong Peak shall be a Sword Sect Ancestral Master!"

'Yu Xiu!'

'Sword Sect Ancestral Master?!'

The Grand Elder was stunned for a long, long time!

'So, the Ancestral Master already knew!'

Then, what is a Sword Sect Ancestral Master?

In the Qingwei Sword Sect, only by becoming a Saint can one be honored as an Ancestral Master.

On this day, the order from the Sect Leader of Tianque Peak—no, to be precise, the order from Ancestor Linyuan—spread throughout the entire Qingwei Sword Sect.

All Disciples knew that the Sword Sect had gained another Ancestral Master!

The youngest Ancestral Master among all the generations of Sword Sect successors!

...

[Yuanshi (1294 / 99999999)]

Amidst the mountains and waters, Yu Xiu seemed to walk within them, as if he were in another space-time, not intersecting with the present world.

His figure passed through vegetation, passed through rocks; sometimes walking on the mountain, sometimes walking into the mountain, sometimes walking into the earth beneath.

[Five Elements Evasion Technique: Perfection]

Comprehension Ability + 30000

Lifespan + 30000

[Void Evasion Technique: Perfection]

Comprehension Ability + 40000

Lifespan + 40000

[Divine Ability: Space Misalignment (Perfection)]

Comprehension Ability + 400000

Lifespan + 400000

Words like these flashed continuously on the panel, but Yu Xiu did not pay them any mind.

His Comprehension Ability was already too high; at any time, while walking on the earth, all sorts of inspirations would arise. Anytime, anywhere, as a flash of inspiration passed, he would create some Spells or Divine Abilities.

'Luo Yuanyou.' He would stop from time to time, and by the light of the sun and moon, he would look at Luo Yuanyou.

This youth he saw beneath the Baifeng Sect and Tengyun Mountain was very special.

He seemed to carry Luck, and also seemed to carry great Karma.

He did not interfere with Luo Yuanyou at all, just observing him from very, very far away, wanting to comprehend the Dao of Luck, the Dao of Karma, and even the Dao of Fate.

He saw that Luo Yuanyou had already bid farewell to his family and embarked on the road to Wuyang Prefecture to apprentice at the Qingwei Sword Sect.

In reality, looking at Luo Yuanyou's surface Aptitude, let alone wanting to enter the Qingwei Sword Sect, even entering the Baifeng Sect would be impossible.

He carried many unknown things on his body; let's just call them Luck and Karma!

These things obscured Luo Yuanyou's Aptitude, making his surface Aptitude appear absolutely terrible.

But precisely because his surface Aptitude appeared terrible, Yu Xiu did not interfere with any of this.

He really wanted to see how the Luck and Karma on Luo Yuanyou would actually help him embark on the path of cultivation!

In the dark, once the thread of fate moved, Yu Xiu would naturally be able to see and comprehend it.
