19: Heavenly Sword Spirit, Heavenly Eye Taoist

As Thunder Ancestor's remnant will was refined, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

Facing the inquiries of the many Elders, Lin Yang explained that the remaining power of Thunder Ancestor's remnant will was not as strong as it appeared, and it dissipated on its own before it could pass down its Legacy.

The Elders did not doubt him, only feeling a sense of regret, but no one would have thought that Thunder Ancestor's remnant will was refined because it tried to Possess Lin Yang.

After a brief disturbance, the Sect once again fell into tranquility.

For several days thereafter, Lin Yang did only two things.

First, he diligently honed his recently surged strength day and night, preparing for the upcoming Ancestral Land Trial.

Second, he continued to write letters to his Young Miss Nangong Xueli to solidify their relationship.

In his letters, besides subtly expressing his undying affection, he also shared all his recent insights into the Martial Dao without reservation.

One must know that any Prodigy's insights into the Martial Dao are extremely valuable for reference.

What's more, for someone like Lin Yang, an Awakened Saint Physique, his Martial Dao insights were even more precious.

With Lin Yang's Martial Dao insights, Nangong Xueli could use them as a reference during her Cultivation, comparing her achievements with Lin Yang's at each Realm, thereby improving her strengths and compensating for her weaknesses, constantly refining herself.

During this process, Lin Yang also received some latest news about Nangong Xueli.

Not long after she joined the Celestial Immortal Academy, she began to display her brilliance and was listed as an “Immortal Seed” Disciple by the Academy.

The Immortal Seed Disciple of Celestial Immortal Academy and the Daozi of Saint Essence Sect held very similar statuses, both being top-tier existences among Disciples.

“Truly worthy of being a Daughter of Destiny…”

Lin Yang recalled that his Daozi status was hard-earned after several years of struggle and effort after arriving at the Saint Essence Sect.

He didn't know how much effort he had put in during that time.

In contrast, Nangong Xueli had only been at the Celestial Immortal Academy for less than half a year, and she had already gained the attention of the entire Academy.

With her Luck as a Daughter of Destiny, it would probably not take three years for Nangong Xueli to grow into an invincible King-level existence among the younger generation.

If the original plot had unfolded normally, Lin Yang would probably not even have met his Young Miss Nangong Xueli before being forced to break off the engagement by his Sect Elders.

Then, three years later, when Nangong Xueli returned as a King from the Central Continent, he, the Daozi of the Saint Essence Sect who was dominant in the Eastern Barrens, would be instantly hammered into the ground by the Daughter of Destiny in public, to avenge the humiliation of the broken engagement back then.

From then on, Lin Yang would lose all face and become a laughingstock discussed by everyone on the continent over tea.

Damn it…

Just thinking about how his original script was such a mess made Lin Yang wish he could drag the dog author who wrote this plot over and slap him a few times!

Eighteen years of hard work, just to become a stepping stone for the Daughter of Destiny?

Is this something a human could come up with?

Idiotic author!

Fortunately, Lin Yang was a Transmigrator, and he also had the System to help him.

This prevented him from becoming a mere tool.

But Nangong Xueli was the Daughter of Destiny, the protagonist of this world, so Lin Yang absolutely could not offend her!

Not only that, he had to cling tightly to Nangong Xueli's thigh.

After all, she was his endless Luck-producing machine!

As long as Nangong Xueli maintained a good impression of him, he could passively gain Luck points.

Although the daily output was only a few tens, the advantage was its stability!

Accumulated over time, let alone ten draws or a hundred draws, even a thousand or ten thousand draws would only be a matter of time.

She was definitely the strongest welfare Young Miss ever!

Just like in the past few days, although Lin Yang had been in seclusion on Daozi Peak, the Luck points from Nangong Xueli had never stopped.

Now, he already had a total of 1700 Luck points!

And out of these 1700 Luck points, at least 1600 came from Nangong Xueli!

Doing nothing, and still getting a free 10-draw.

This was the value of the Daughter of Destiny!

Great, without a doubt!

“Daozi Chu Qing has returned!”

Just as Lin Yang was marveling at the invincibility of the Daughter of Destiny, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the Peak.

As soon as the sound spread, a giant blood-colored saber shadow descended from the sky!

The saber shadow stretched across the sky above the Saint Essence Sect, releasing an astonishing killing intent. A young man wearing a black cloak with sharp, chiseled eyebrows slowly walked out from within the saber shadow.

As he stepped, a towering Saber Qi storm rose from the ground, sweeping in all directions.

One of the four great Daozi of the Saint Essence Sect, Chu Qing!

“Oh my god! It's Senior Brother Chu Qing, he's an unparalleled Prodigy who became a Daozi ten years earlier than Senior Brother Lin Yang!”

The Sect was in an uproar, countless Disciples looked up at the young man above, their reverence spontaneously arising.

Chu Qing, a Personal Disciple of a Grand Elder of the Saint Essence Sect.

It was rumored that when he was born, the clouds in the sky within a thousand miles all turned blood-red, and a giant phantom of a Heavenly Blade manifested within the clouds.

The sound of the saber's hum startled heaven and earth!

Amidst the resonating saber hums, Chu Qing was born.

And Chu Qing was born with the Tian Dao Spirit Body, highly valued by a Grand Elder of the Saint Essence Sect, who immediately took him as a Personal Disciple to train him.

The Tian Dao Spirit Body was also an extremely terrifying Physique; although not as good as a Saint Physique, its advantage was that it could unleash all of its power without needing to Awaken.

“As expected of Senior Brother Chu Qing, this saber might is too terrifying!”

“When Senior Brother Chu Qing left the mountain, he once vowed to kill a million people and Cultivate his Saber Evil Qi to its extreme before returning. Now that he has appeared, has he already achieved this goal!?”

Under the immense and terrifying saber might, the Disciples felt as if they were small boats in a storm, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Many people unconsciously had cold sweat dripping down their temples.

“Nine-star Martial Emperor!”

Many Elders were stirred by the sharp saber might, but then they were surprised to find that Chu Qing's strength had already reached the Realm of a Nine-star Martial Emperor.

How much time had passed?

He still remembered that when Chu Qing left the Sect to pursue his Great Dao, Lin Yang had just joined the Sect not long ago and had not yet shown his brilliance.

All in all, it had only been eight years!

Eight years later, Chu Qing had already grown to this extent.

Truly worthy of his reputation as one of the four great Daozi of their Saint Essence Sect!

“I remember when Chu Qing left, he was only a Seven-star Martial King. In just eight short years, he has grown to this extent!”

Seeing their Sect's Prodigy so outstanding, many Elders were filled with relief.

“I haven't returned to the Sect for eight years, yet I didn't expect our Saint Essence Sect to produce a Daozi with an Awakened Saint Physique.”

Chu Qing stood in mid-air, his sharp gaze sweeping towards Lin Yang on Daozi Peak.

Although Lin Yang's Saint Physique had Awakened, Chu Qing also possessed a special Physique, so he did not envy Lin Yang's Saint Physique like the other Disciples.

Moreover, the difficulty of Awakening a Saint Physique was common knowledge.

In the future, if Lin Yang couldn't Awaken his Saint Physique to the Major Achievement Realm, there might even be a huge risk of being constrained by the Saint Physique itself.

Given this, Chu Qing paid even less attention to Lin Yang, a latecomer who was still at the Peak of the Martial King Realm.

“Hahaha, Chu Qing, long time no see, your saber seems much sharper than before!”

Just then, a hearty laugh came from the distant horizon.

As the laughter faded, a three-eyed man with a vertical eye on his forehead flew over.

The three-eyed man had an extraordinary face and a tall stature. As the vertical eye between his brows slightly opened and closed, it caused a tremor in the surrounding space.

“It's the Heavenly Eye Daozi, Huo Cang!”

The newcomer was another prominent figure of the Saint Essence Sect.

One of the four great Daozi, Huo Cang!

Huo Cang had been out of the Sect for training even longer than Chu Qing.

The vertical eye between his brows, like Chu Qing's Spiritual Body, was a gift from heaven, rumored to possess the power to communicate with heaven and earth, capable of unleashing incredibly powerful death rays!

“Oh my god! What day is it today? How come two legendary Daozi who have been away for many years have returned together!”

Within the Sect, many Disciples were still in a state of confusion.

“Huo Cang, I knew you would return too!”

Unlike his condescending attitude towards Lin Yang, Chu Qing's eyes clearly held more caution when facing Huo Cang.

This was a Daozi whose strength was almost on par with his own.

“Heh heh, Revered Master sent word that today is the day the Sect opens the Ancestral Land Trial. Within the Ancestral Land, there are the Legacies of our Saint Essence Sect's past Ancestral Masters. How could I miss such an important day?” Huo Cang chuckled.

“Your purpose is probably not just the Ancestral Master's Legacy, is it?” Chu Qing smiled faintly.

“Hahaha, aren't you the same?” Huo Cang laughed and retorted.

“Indeed, four Daozi are simply too many. I think the position of Young Sect Master is quite good, there has only ever been one. And there's also the opportunity to further Cultivate at the Holy Emperor Sect, I want it all!” Chu Qing licked his lips and said.

The Holy Emperor Sect had already sent word that it would select outstanding Disciples from this generation of the Saint Essence Sect to Cultivate in the Central Continent.

However, to this day, the Holy Emperor Sect had not explicitly stated how many people it would take.

Perhaps all four Daozi, or perhaps only one, it was uncertain.

But no matter what, as long as one could defeat everyone else and become the Young Sect Master, they would surely secure a ticket to the Central Continent.

Therefore, both Chu Qing and Huo Cang, upon their return to the Sect, were determined to obtain that sole position of Young Sect Master.

“Heh heh, you want to be the Young Sect Master of our Saint Essence Sect? Do you really think you're qualified?” Huo Cang's tone shifted as he asked with a half-smile.

“What, do you want to test if the saber in my hand is sharp?” Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.
