361: Junior Sister of the Ninth Mountain of the Demon Sealing Sect~

The Junior Sister of the Ninth Mountain of the Demon Sealing Sect, the youngest Disciple of the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer, and also the most dazzling existence of the Demon Sealing Sect in that era...

Even throughout the entire Chaos Universe and the myriad worlds of the heavens, she was a legend.

In less than a hundred years of cultivation, she attained the Dao of the sword and stepped into the Immortal Realm, reaching the strongest Immortal Emperor level. She was the successor to the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer in the eyes of countless Demon Sealing Sect Disciples!

Unfortunately, she encountered a great calamity. Her Revered Master, the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer, used a Heaven-Defying method to send her into the turbulent flow of time and space, letting her leave with the classic of mountains and seas. But when she returned, things had changed, the Demon Sealing Sect was long gone, and the Fourth Star had already been swallowed into the belly of the Ancient Realm demon, Candle Nine Nethers...

At that moment, she finally understood the meaning of what her Revered Master often said: "When fate ends, the heart dies..."

She watched the rise and fall of the Lower Realm (originally the demon sealing Ancient Realm) for a hundred years, gradually emerging from that loneliness and sorrow. With the classic of mountains and seas masking her aura, the heavily injured Candle Nine Nethers could not discover her. Therefore, she revisited her old haunts, wandering the world in the Great Xia, while recovering her cultivation and comprehending how to activate the classic of mountains and seas.

During those years, she visited many ruins of the Demon Sealing Sect, finding many memories of the past, and even the dilapidated... Ninth Mountain.

That year, she met a woman who wanted to carry forward her own Sect. That unwavering gaze reminded Luo Li of herself; it seemed she once had such a dream too.

Seeing that she was stuck at the Return to Void level, she had the idea of helping her. Coincidentally, this Sect had eight mountains, which touched her, so she decided to settle down there.

Soon, she became the Revered Master of the Ninth Mountain, the famous Sword Immortal Luo Li in the Great Xia!

It was a pity that she could not use her full strength for fear of being discovered by Candle Nine Nethers; otherwise, helping the Great Xia wipe out the Heavenly Demon Cave would have been a matter of a flick of her finger.

As time passed, even in the Ninth Mountain, she felt endless loneliness. Even though there were many interesting people around her, none of them could help her shake off this feeling. She was never meant to belong to this era, and she was out of place with these people, even though she had tried very hard to fit in...

Finally, she chose to go out and travel.

This time, she met a very interesting young boy...

Six years ago, a teahouse on the border of the Great Xia.

"Young man, with your meager talent for the sword, why bother studying it? Go home and farm; there is no future in practicing the sword..." Luo Li looked at the sword-browed, star-eyed boy, shaking her wine gourd as she mocked him. She saw at a glance that the other party's time was short, destined to die in the future, with at most twenty years of Lifespan. With such a short-lived face, even a Prodigy could not achieve anything, not to mention that his talent for the Dao of the sword was so poor...

Luo Li felt it would be better to just go home and... wait for death!

Opposite her, sitting on a wooden chair, looking no more than twelve or thirteen years old, wearing snow-white long robes and hanging a glazed jade pendant, the boy who clearly had an extraordinary background suddenly froze, stopped drinking tea, and turned his gaze over.

"Young Revered Master, he is laughing at you!" Lin Yuan covered his mouth and whispered, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but there was a hint of gravity in his heart.

He seemed to see that this woman had the cultivation of the Return to Void level, but she was not stronger than him. He just watched quietly and had not made any moves yet.

The boy frowned slightly, looking arrogant. After seeing the mockery, he revealed an unwavering expression and said: "I, Shen Nian, will become the strongest Sword Immortal under this starry sky!!"

"I will beat your face to a pulp!"

Lin Yuan seemed used to such words and drank his tea silently.

Luo Li was stunned for a moment. Looking at the boy's gaze and hearing this somewhat familiar vow, she seemed to recall countless memories.

"You are an Innate Being, and you have no talent for practicing the sword. Why practice the sword?"

"Who says you can't practice the sword without talent?"

"I just want to. I heard that Sword Cultivators are the most powerful. That way, I can stab to death those who bully me and those who want to catch me with one sword. I will become the strongest Sword Immortal under this starry sky, so no one will bully me again!"

"Hehe, who did you hear that from?"

"I heard it from the common people in the Immortal Realm. They talk about it often..."

"Then have you heard that a Sword Immortal is not made for no reason? It requires a Revered Master to teach you. And what will you do during the time before you become a Sword Immortal?"

"Hmm?? You are right!"

"How about this, take me as your Revered Master. I will protect you until you become a Sword Immortal, and when you become a Sword Immortal, you will protect me, how about that?"

"Okay!"

"It's a deal!"

"But looking at your skinny appearance, can you protect me?"

"It shouldn't be a problem..."

"You also have a Senior Brother, who is also very powerful. When Revered Master is not around, let him protect you..."

That day, the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer accepted his second Disciple, an Innate Being!

It was not until Luo Li gradually grew up that she understood how terrifying the old man who appeared that day was; he was one of the strongest existences under this starry sky!

Luo Li was lost in memories for only a moment before she came back to her senses.

At the same time, the boy's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Young man, don't brag too much. The starry sky? Do you know how big the starry sky is!"

"Yeah, and a Sword Immortal too. Do you know what an Immortal means?"

"Hahaha, I had such a dream back then too. Don't mind them, young man. People should have a dream!"

"Oh my, this young man is so handsome. Why not stop being a Sword Immortal and become a Gun God? Big sister will teach you!"

"Hu Sanniang, don't tease him, he's still young!"

"Hahahaha!"

The teahouse was filled with laughter. These people were not really mocking the boy, just teasing him. For a moment, he became the center of the topic.

However, the arrogant boy swept his gaze over the crowd with a look of disdain and smiled contemptuously, drinking his tea silently.

His movements were smooth and very arrogant, but in the eyes of the people in the teahouse, he seemed a bit cute. Especially since the boy had red lips and white teeth, and his skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, giving a feeling of 'a person like jade in the world,' which made everyone like and discuss him even more.

Lin Yuan shrugged helplessly.

"Hmph!"

"Find a chance to teach these people a lesson for daring to mock me!" The arrogant boy transmitted his voice with a snort of disdain.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Young Revered Master, I understand!"

Just at this moment.

"Your surname is Shen?" Luo Li walked over with a wine gourd.

"So what if my surname is Shen?"

"There are plenty of them on the street!"

"Is it special?"

"I am not from the Upper Realm."

The arrogant boy replied nonchalantly, his eyes dodging slightly, as if he was afraid of being exposed.

Lin Yuan beside him twitched his mouth, seemingly regretting his decision to follow at the risk of his life. This was clearly giving himself away.

Luo Li couldn't help but be amused by his cuteness, and asked inexplicably: "Do you know that your talent for the Dao of the sword is very poor..."

"So what?" The boy said disdainfully, then blew on his teacup: "Who says you can't practice the sword without talent?"

"I insist!"
