Chapter 127: Kidnapping! Foreign Flame! Sword Son Becomes a Disciple, Receives Chaotic Ancient Heritage (Part 2)

But...

They probably consider this an ordinary Emperor's heritage.

Sigh, if only I knew it was the Chaotic Ancient Heritage...

He sighed inwardly, "This heritage of the Chaos Ancient Emperor is a bit special."

Intoxicated Immortal Tower.

Wang Teng briefly described the Chaotic Ancient Heritage.

Zhao Xinchuan was dumbfounded.

"So, it's that person's heritage."

Zhao Xinchuan knew about the Chaos Ancient Emperor.

"Elder Zhao, was the Chaos Ancient Emperor famous?" Sword Son asked, puzzled.

"Extremely famous!"

"He was a remarkable talent in the ancient times of the Immortal Martial Continent."

"He had an extraordinary talent and a Holy Physique. Logically, he should have been invincible, forging an unyielding belief in his strength, and no one in his time would dare to challenge his supremacy."

"But in that lifetime, something strange happened. It wasn't a Golden Age, yet dozens of geniuses stronger than him emerged."

"He fought and lost repeatedly."

"He never won a single battle."

"Because of this, he was ridiculed as the weakest Holy Son, but after a period of seclusion, the Chaos Ancient Emperor reappeared, pushing through all obstacles and defeating all his past opponents. He became the strongest in his era, suppressing an entire generation, and then ascended to immortality."

"Until just now, everyone who knew about this believed that the Chaos Ancient Emperor was a late bloomer. His early defeats were attributed to his lack of enlightenment."

"After his enlightenment, he became a true late bloomer, laughing all the way to the top, becoming the most dazzling and powerful figure of his era, an Emperor."

"Everyone admired his unwavering determination and perseverance, even after countless defeats."

"But I never expected..."

Zhao Xinchuan's face twitched, "Could it be because of his technique?"

"This..."

Originally, he had heard about the Imperial Scripture, and it was something he greatly desired.

Even if Sword Son didn't want it, it could still be brought back to the sect to enrich their treasure trove.

The Lingjian Sect was too pure; everyone was focused on practicing and comprehending sword techniques. To outsiders, they seemed invincible, but in reality, they were quite impoverished.

Among the current elders, only Zhao Xinchuan was relatively shrewd, which was why he was sent to handle matters regarding the Imperial Scripture. Upon hearing about the Imperial Scripture, he naturally became eager.

But now, learning that it was this kind of bizarre heritage, he was hesitant.

The Imperial Scripture was indeed an authentic Imperial Scripture.

But how many could persist in their cultivation path after countless defeats and still maintain their resolve?

Most people would have broken down mentally by now.

No wonder Wang Teng and the others from the Yulin Palace didn't want it and even offered it to others.

"This..."

"Should we take it or not?"

Zhao Xinchuan fell into deep thought.

Take it? It was, after all, an authentic Imperial Scripture. Bringing it back to enrich the sect's collection wouldn't be a bad idea.

But who would cultivate this technique?

Unless there were no other options.

Although the Lingjian Sect had other Imperial Scriptures, none of them were particularly suitable. If there were no other choices and one's mind was a bit eccentric, who would choose this technique?

As for Sword Son, he, too, fell into deep contemplation.

His technique was not an Imperial Scripture.

Since his attributes didn't align well with any of the Imperial Scriptures, forcing himself to cultivate them would only result in twice the effort for half the gain. Therefore, he could only choose to cultivate an excellent technique.

It wasn't a bad choice.

Cultivating it to its highest level would still lead to immortality, but it was still slightly inferior to an Imperial Scripture.

This Chaotic Ancient Heritage...

Well, he had some thoughts about it.

At this thought, he couldn't help but communicate with Zhao Xinchuan, "Elder Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Xinchuan's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even glance sideways, but he replied, "I think... it's half-decent."

"Half-decent?"

"The Imperial Scripture should be genuine, but as the Chaotic Ancient Heritage, the chances of successfully cultivating it and persisting until the formation of a Demonic Embryo are slim. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack."

"As for the Demonic Embryo reaching maturity? It might not happen even after several generations!"

"That's true."

Sword Son changed the topic, "But Elder Zhao, what do you think of me?"

"You, Sword Son?"

Elder Zhao was taken aback.

But Sword Son continued, "Repeated battles, repeated defeats... yes... this is currently my situation."

"After countless defeats, and the birth of a Demonic Embryo? So far, including last night's defeat to Lu Zhicai, I've lost nearly ten battles, which is about a tenth of the total."

"But up to now, my resolve remains firm, and I haven't had any issues."

"If we calculate based on this..."

He was communicating this analysis to Zhao Xinchuan, but he was also analyzing it for himself.

"A hundred defeats don't seem that hard to accept."

At this, Zhao Xinchuan was stunned.

He knew that Sword Son had lost to Xiao Ling'er, and it was a consecutive defeat.

He had also lost to Three-Leaf once, which was common knowledge.

But where did these nearly ten consecutive defeats come from? He had no idea!

"Sword Son, are you... really okay?"

He began to suspect that Sword Son might have some mental issues.

Nearly ten consecutive defeats, yet he remained so calm?

Was this a sign of impending madness, the calm before the storm?

"I'm fine. What could be wrong with me? I think I can learn this Chaotic Ancient Heritage, this Imperial Scripture. But does our sect truly not object to us cultivating external techniques?"

"..."

Zhao Xinchuan was silent for a long time before speaking, "This matter is genuine."

"But Sword Son, you must consider this carefully."

"It's best to consult the Sect Master."

"If it were another Imperial Scripture's heritage and suitable for you, I would be delighted. But for the Chaotic Ancient Heritage..."

"..."

The two communicated through their divine senses, and although Wang Teng couldn't hear them, he could tell from their silence that they were having a private conversation. So, he said, "Let's be reasonable, Brother Sword Son.

"I believe you are the most suitable candidate."

"Opportunities are fleeting, and they may never come again!"

"Although you will face many defeats along the way, once your Demonic Embryo reaches maturity, you can suppress an era~~~"

"Won't you at least consider it?"

Sword Son scratched his head, "Actually, I am somewhat interested."

"But..."

"I need to consult my Master."

"Alright~!"

Wang Teng's eyes lit up.

Immediately, Sword Son went to contact Rao Zhirou.

Zhao Xinchuan, on the other hand, spoke with a probing tone, "I wonder, what conditions do you have?"

Conditions?

Wang Teng was taken aback.

What conditions? I'm already thrilled at the prospect of getting rid of this hot potato, and I've been eagerly waiting for this opportunity. Why bring up conditions now?

"There are no conditions."

Wang Teng shook his head.

I'm afraid you won't take it!

"That won't do."

But Zhao Xinchuan disagreed.

He was a smooth talker, experienced in the ways of the world, and well-versed in social etiquette.

Free things are often the most expensive.

"There should be conditions. Our Spirit Sword Sect cannot just take it for free."

"Such behavior is shameful, and it won't sound good if it gets out."

"I truly don't want it." Wang Teng waved his hand, "If it's really necessary, we can symbolically give you one million spirit stones, how about that?"

Zhao Xinchuan: "..."

Are you kidding me?

Buying an Imperial Scripture with one million spirit stones? Which Imperial Scripture is so cheap? Even if the Chaotic Ancient Heritage is extremely underwhelming, it's still impossible for it to be this cheap!

If this gets out, others will think that our Spirit Sword Sect is forcing transactions and engaging in unfair trade!

"How about this then."

Zhao Xinchuan didn't want the Spirit Sword Sect to be talked about negatively or leave any handles for others in the future, nor did he want to owe this favor. He contemplated for a moment and said, "If our Sect Master agrees to this matter, then let Sword Son become your disciple. From then on, the two of you will have a master-disciple relationship."

"It's reasonable and fair for a master and disciple to exchange cultivation methods."

"With this relationship, there's no need to discuss those so-called exchange conditions."

"What does the young friend think?"

"..."

A free disciple?

That's not bad.

Seeing Zhao Xinchuan's insistence, Wang Teng could only agree.

...

"The Chaotic Ancient Heritage, a series of defeats, and the birth of a Demonic Embryo?"

Rao Zhirou was a little surprised, "Disciple, have you made up your mind?"

"Are you sure you have that kind of mindset, and even after a hundred defeats, you can still persist?"

"..."

Sword Son scratched his head and replied, "Master, I'm not sure if I have that kind of mindset, and I don't know if I can persist through a hundred defeats without changing my initial determination."

"But for now..."

"It seems like I've gotten used to it."

"Used to what?"

"Used to losing."

Sword Son spoke with a faint voice, "Defeated by Xiao Ling'er numerous times, defeated by Three-Leaf countless times, and even being defeated by it with a single sword."

"Last night, I lost to Lu Zhicai once. Actually..."

"I didn't feel too bad about it."

"There wasn't even a ripple in my heart."

"Because Xiao Ling'er is an unparalleled talent, and she's always been stronger than me. She grew faster than me, so it's reasonable and fair that she defeated me several times."

"Three-Leaf is even more of a freak. If one day she can truly cut down the sun, moon, and stars, I won't be surprised."

"As for Lu Zhicai, he's almost a hundred years old. When I reach his age, my strength will definitely surpass his. Losing to him now is not a disgrace because he has cultivated for several decades more than me."

"Furthermore, Long Aotian, I lost to him last night as well. But among all the Holy Sons who were present last night, who could match him in a single exchange? Everyone was defeated by him one after another. Losing to him..."

There was something else he didn't say.

That is, since he had been losing all along, he would probably continue to lose in the future.

Now that he had the opportunity to gain a buff and accumulate 'rage', why not take it? But he dared not say these words, fearing that his master would scold him.

"..."

Rao Zhirou was speechless for a moment.

Your words make perfect sense.

But why do I feel, from beginning to end, that you are 'shameless' and unashamed of losing?

Although what you said is reasonable, talents should strive for excellence and even challenge those above their level.

Losing to them doesn't seem shameful, but you...

You actually...

Have no feelings and remain unmoved? But after a second thought, you might as well not say it!

With such a mindset, receiving the Chaotic Ancient Heritage is indeed a perfect match!

A pair made in heaven.

It's even possible that they might be more compatible than the original Chaotic Ancient himself.

After all, according to rumors, Chaotic Ancient suffered numerous defeats and was on the brink of collapse multiple times.

"Since that's the case, I approve."

"It's good that you've made up your mind."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Rao Zhirou gave her answer.

Perhaps the series of defeats along the way wouldn't sound good.

But when they finally achieve success, who would dare to say more?

...

"Master has agreed."

Sword Son: "???"

"I still need to become a disciple?"

Does that mean I'll suddenly be a generation lower than Xiao Ling'er for no reason?!

"What nonsense!" Zhao Xinchuan scolded, "This Imperial Scripture originally belonged to Wang Teng. Now that it's being passed to you, if you don't become his disciple, do you still want to take it for free?"

Sword Son was stunned, "I..."

"Can we change the condition?"

"No!"

Zhao Xinchuan's face turned stern, "Although you are a Holy Son, this matter... is our Spirit Sword Sect's rule, and it cannot be broken!"

You finally managed to negotiate this condition, and you still want to take it for free?

If you really take it for free, the future troubles will be countless.

"Alright then, fine."

Sword Son had no choice but to reluctantly become a disciple.

Suddenly, Wang Teng became a generation higher, and he even had a Holy Body as his disciple. He felt like the world was truly marvelous.

"It seems..."

"For me, stumbling into the Chaos Ancient Emperor's tomb isn't necessarily a bad thing?"

"..."

"First, I'll use the Great Transformation Technique to locate Princess Wenqing of Qianyuan, and then I'll contact the Protectors of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty to inform them of her whereabouts."

"After that, I'll go ahead and secretly meet with Long Aotian to warn him, so they can both escape."

"With this opportunity, I should be able to infiltrate their group."

"And then..."

"I can slowly find a chance to expose Gu Yue Fangyuan and, by the way, send a dragon to the other shore."

After Lu Ming and Xiao Ling'er separated, they quickly formulated a battle plan.

Lu Ming began to activate the Great Transformation Technique...

"Hmm!"

"Wait, it's not a fragment?"

"It's the complete Great Transformation Technique!"

Lu Ming was secretly surprised: "Ingenious."

"It seems like he's been playing it safe, but in reality, he's never stopped moving forward. He must have some kind of system as a trump card!"

"Hmm."

"Or perhaps his true self and the 'Master's' scarecrow have been searching for opportunities outside?"

"Regardless, with the complete Great Transformation Technique in hand, my plan becomes more secure and feasible."

He immediately started to deduce Princess Wenqing's location using the technique.

The complete Great Transformation Technique was more stable, faster, and stronger!

It even had the effect of weakening the backlash of cause and effect, truly a divine skill.

However, even with this technique, Princess Wenqing's 'Causal Globe' was still quite formidable, and Lu Ming had to attack several times before he could break it.

"Princess Wenqing isn't fated to be with Long Aotian because of their entanglement, right?"

"..."

"But I've found you."

Lu Ming disappeared, quietly leaving behind a scarecrow that transformed into a passerby.

Then, his true self approached the tavern.

As he drew closer, he controlled the scarecrow to find a servant who was anxiously searching for Princess Qi throughout the city, intending to inform on her.

"The Eye Tower?"

"Is this information reliable?"

The servant was overjoyed but also cautious.

"As a small cultivator, how dare I deceive you? Wouldn't that be like lighting a lamp in a toilet, asking for trouble?"

"That's true!"

"I'll immediately notify the elders, and if we can find Princess Qi, you'll have done a great service. By the way, who are you?"

"I am..."

"The Morning Sun Crowd."

...

At the same time, Lu Ming entered the Eye Tower and accurately reached the outside of Long Aotian's room.

"An array formation?"

"As expected of Long Aotian, this formation is indeed impressive. No wonder they couldn't find him."

Lu Ming muttered and spoke up to remind them.

"Brother Aotian, something terrible is happening! Hurry, we must escape!"

"..."

"How do you know we're here?" Gu Yue Fangyuan appeared behind Lu Ming without a sound.

"I have my methods."

Lu Ming turned around calmly and said, "Are you running or not? If you're not, I'll run by myself."

Long Aotian appeared, donning his robe and speaking coldly: "Found out? It's faster than I expected."

"But why the need to escape?"

"I can kill those two Protectors!"

"You might be able to kill them, but can you also defeat the many powerful cultivators in the Imperial Capital?" Lu Ming stared at him, his heart calm.

Indeed, the infamous Long Aotian.

He had become stronger!

His cultivation had increased by a small realm, and there was a hint of Yin-Yang Fusion surrounding him.

Apparently, he had captured Princess Qi and forced her into dual cultivation.

Hmm...

Or perhaps he had taken some kind of supplement?

"Besides," Lu Ming said, his heart filled with surprise, "this isn't your first time running away. Why put on such an act?"

"Hehehe."

Gu Yue Fangyuan laughed sinisterly, "Aotian, this guy really doesn't know how to speak. I don't like him."

Long Aotian didn't pay attention to him and said calmly, "Why did you come to warn us?"

"Of course, I don't want Brother Aotian, such a Peerless Talent, to be buried here because of a woman."

Long Aotian stared at him, his eyes narrowing slightly: "As I expected, your strength is probably even greater than Xiao Ling'er's."

"Unfortunately, challenging me will only lead to your defeat!"

"Don't waste words."

Lu Ming chuckled, "Are you running or not? If you're not, I'll leave first, so they don't catch me and think I'm with you."

Long Aotian: "..."

"Go!"

He slipped away.

Naturally, Gu Yue Fangyuan didn't dare to stop him.

Lu Ming followed them, walking behind...

"Why are you following us?"

Gu Yue Fangyuan frowned, his keen senses alerting him to something amiss.

This Lu Ming made him uneasy.

"Of course, I'm looking for a chance to fight Brother Aotian and determine the victor. What does that have to do with you?"

"Besides, I took such a risk to warn you and save your lives. Can't I ask for some benefits?"

"Aotian." Gu Yue Fangyuan wanted to say something, but Long Aotian scolded him.

"Let's leave first!"

"..."

...

"It's here!"

The two Protectors of Princess Qi, along with the powerful cultivators from the Imperial Capital, arrived at the Eye Tower and saw that the target room was sealed by an array formation. Their faces changed.

"Quickly break it!"

With the help of an array master, the formation was soon broken.

They immediately rushed in and saw Princess Qi, her face streaked with tear stains, her bare shoulders exposed, and her body covered only by a thin sheet as she lay unconscious on the bed.

"Your Highness!"

The two Protectors were shocked and horrified.

Princess Qi slowly woke up.

The next moment, their bodies trembled, and their knees went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Not good!"

"Your Highness has lost her Essence Yin!"
