Chapter 375: Enchanted Altar, Entering the Sword Qi Great Wall, Soul Possession, and Taking on a Disciple (Part 2)
"
"And after another half a month, it was her turn to guide us."
"Strictly speaking, we're both her half-disciples."
"Our sword dao, she understood, but she took the essence and discarded the dross, elevating it further! Moreover, she only took the most refined part of the essence and integrated it into her own sword dao."
"Wow!!!
Chen An suddenly realized: "You two old fellows, why didn't you give me a heads-up?"
"If I had known earlier how heaven-defying it is, and that you two are its disciples, would I still make a bet with it? Am I sick or what?"
He was undoubtedly deceived.
How pitiful! Unbearable!
"Hey? If I tell you this, would you believe it?"
"Would you believe in such a freakish thing in the Immortal Martial Continent even if you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Anyway, I don’t believe it."
"Eh..."
Chen An was silent, not uttering a word.
You really can’t say, in the case of unknowing, you wouldn’t believe it either.
"But you two should at least say something!"
He was still somewhat displeased.
If he had known the news earlier, even if he didn’t believe it, he would have at least changed the bet, right? Then he wouldn’t have to go to the Moon Holding Sect?
Although not extremely displeased, it was, after all, still a ‘guest in someone else’s house’. How could it compare to the comfort of his own home?
"I see you two old fellows are becoming more and more unbearable. Forget it!" Chen An left with a wave of his sleeve: "This old man is leaving."
He flew away on his sword.
Who knew that Li Chun Gang and Deng Tai’a would just laugh, following him on either side.
Chen An was stunned: "What are you two planning?"
"Am I really so temperamental that I won’t get angry?"
"Tsk, at our age, why be so hot-tempered?" Li Chun Gang muttered: "Besides, this is a broad road to the sky, can you walk it, can’t we two walk it?"
"..."
"Go, you two go first, I’ll see where you’re going." Chen An hugged his arms and didn’t move.
Li and Deng exchanged a glance, forcing a smile, and headed west.
Then...
Chen An was stunned.
He caught up and asked: "You two are also going to the southwestern region?"
"Yes, you are too? That’s quite a coincidence."
"..."
"Quite a coincidence!"
Chen An still didn’t understand: "You two are also going to the Moon Holding Sect?"
"Or what?"
Li Chun Gang laughed out loud: "Now, the three of us are like grasshoppers on the same rope, all disciples of the Moon Holding Sect’s sword cultivation lineage."
"!!!"
Chen An’s eyes sparkled: "So it is."
"So...it is!!"
...
The Sword Qi Great Wall.
It became even more silent and dilapid.
The cold, fierce wind roared, at the Ninth Stage, death was just a touch away, and upon contact, it was death!
But the fierce wind did not dispel the sorrow and silence.
At a glance, the Sword qi great wall, vast and endless, was not without life. In fact, there were not a few people guarding this place.
But...
Due to some special reasons, they were all silent.
Without a great battle or special circumstances, they were like statues.
Suddenly.
A green light flickered.
Buzz...
I
Almost simultaneously.
A touch of green penetrated the green light, appearing within the Sword Qi Great Wall, bringing a touch of vitality to the dead, silent Sword Qi Great Wall.
"This is..."
"A weed?!"
"To be precise, a blade of grass."
"What are the people from the lower realms doing, sending a mere weed?!"
"In the dark, those originally restless beings were all stunned, and then, without knowing how many were cursing in the dark.
"Such a lowly thing, how can it achieve anything?"
"To send a mere weed, what is the point of it looking good?"
"The Sword Qi Great Wall indeed lacks vitality, but a mere weed is of no use!"
"How can this be so!"
They were angry, then pushed and yielded: "Who will go?"
"I... I won’t go."
"Oh? No one is speaking up. Previously, each one boasted loudly, all saying the next one to possess a soul must be you two, now, the next one has come, ‘the beloved one’ why are you all swallowing and silent?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Were the words spoken before just nonsense?"
"Damn it! Stop playing god with me, do you think you’re something great? For a physical body, you fought with me for three days and three nights, but in the end, others plucked the fruit, this time, why don’t you go up?"
"..."
Among them, not a few were cursing in the dark, mocking and sneering.
But there were some special existences that had been paying attention all along.
Among them, only a few discovered the signs, knowing that the three-leaf was extraordinary.
But at this moment, they were all silent.
One of them, eyes spinning, had an idea, and then spoke: "Ah."
"You two, don’t argue."
"Although a blade of grass is too lowly, it is, after all, a living being. Compared to us, these not-human, not ghost things, it is ultimately better by much."
"If you all look down on it, then... I’ll reluctantly bear this bitter fruit."
After speaking, he quietly appeared.
Everyone was silent.
Some secretly sneered, some were puzzled.
They couldn’t understand why he would choose such a blade of grass, they would rather wait some more years, lacking rather than having, unwilling to take it.
Indeed, no one would take it themselves!
Those who saw the signs were strongly excited and were about to make a move.
But at this moment, another figure quietly appeared: "Ah, since it is a bitter fruit, this old man will bear it. After all, this old man has been accustomed to eating bitterness since childhood."
"To endure some more hardship in the future, is also not impossible."
The figure that appeared first frowned: "Eh~"
"Daoist friend, you can’t say it like that."
"Because you have endured too much hardship previously, you should enjoy good fortune next, let me endure this hardship, wait for someone with excellent qualifications to come and possess it in the future."
"Not at all!"
"I have long been accustomed to hardship, to me, hardship is nothing, even a kind of pleasure, but you are different, you haven’t tasted hardship, you can’t endure it, so let me."
"The later arrivals refused to yield."
"Why bother? It's just a weed."
"Yes, it's just a weed. It's useless, so let me take on this suffering instead."
"No, no, I'll do it, I'll take it on."
The two seemed harmonious, with the older brother showing deference to the younger, neither wanting the other to suffer. However, their 'modesty' was about to turn into a fight.
The two locked eyes.
Their divine soul bodies' eyes almost blazed with intensity.
They both knew the other had noticed Threeleaf's extraordinariness and wanted to 'scoop up the opportunity'.
But at this moment, they couldn't reveal their intentions, for if the others found out, it would truly be a chaotic battle.
One opponent was better than thousands of opponents.
However, the others weren't fools either.
As they watched the two push and pull, eventually starting to fight, all while rushing towards the weed, anyone with a hint of sense could detect something extraordinary.
"This... this isn't right!"
"When did they become so close?"
"What nonsense, aren't we all competitors? To obtain an excellent physical body, we might even kill each other, how can we be so modest?"
"This seemingly ordinary weed... could it be..."
More and more people began to suspect.
Hidden among the crowd, the onlookers, unable to confirm if the weed was truly extraordinary, could no longer remain calm.
The number of doubters increased, and if this continued, they might truly miss their chance.
"Let's do it!"
They decided to take a gamble.
Whether it was real or not, they'd find out!
If they lost, they could always find another opportunity to seize the body later! But if they won...
That would be too perfect!
Boom!
They instantly rushed forward, making no attempt to hide their intentions, and headed straight for Threeleaf.
The two, who had been pretending to be modest and yielding, saw this and felt their scalps go numb.
"Damn!"
"You want to cut in?"
"Get lost!"
They shouted, no longer pretending, and with all their might, they temporarily pushed back the others. Then, the two rushed towards Threeleaf.
But the others weren't fools either.
They chased after them at full speed, even those who didn't understand joined the pursuit!
They couldn't discern anything extraordinary about Threeleaf, nor did they know what was so special about this weed. But they understood human nature! If it were truly ordinary, why would people fight over it?
Since it was a good thing, and more and more people were fighting for it...
They'd just have to seize it!
······
“Sword Qi Great Wall···”
“This, is this the Sword Qi Great Wall?”
After entering the Sword Qi Great Wall, Threeleaf remained motionless, appearing like an ordinary weed.
But...
Its 'heart' had already stirred up a terrifying storm.
The moment it stepped into the Sword Qi Great Wall, a heavy, lonely feeling enveloped it, and as the astonishing sword intent covered its body... countless scenes appeared in its mind.
These scenes were disjointed and not connected.
They flashed by like a horse galloping past flowers.
But they made Threeleaf sink into them, unable to extricate itself.
"This is..."
"Was this my past?"
It focused intently, longing to see everything, not wanting to miss any detail, any fragmented scene.
In the scenes...
There was an unparalleled Immortal King battling the Nine Heavens.
There was a shocking sword severing the river of fate!
There was one person fighting countless cultivators alone...
There was blood staining the sky, tears falling from the Nine Heavens...
These scenes were too astonishing.
Even though Threeleaf had prepared beforehand, at this moment, it was still shocked and had a strange sense of familiarity, as if its own figure existed in these scenes.
But when it focused on finding itself, it couldn't find its own shadow.
It seemed like everything was an illusion.
It was at this moment.
A shocking divine soul fluctuation roused Threeleaf.
But...
It didn't even have the mood to pay attention, only wanting to 'capture' those scenes, to remember every detail, and then pursue them.
Until...
"Hahaha, it's mine!"
"You fools, you can't recognize a treasure when you see one. Your discernment is the best I've ever seen!"
"I have a secret technique to see your age. You may hide your cultivation, but you can't escape my divine sight!"
"A mere weed, so young, yet already at the Ninth Level. Even if you've just entered the Ninth Level, you're surely a peerless genius, and perhaps, you're the 'Atmosphere Child' of your 'Weed Clan', the culmination of countless years of accumulated fortune!"
"In the future, I might become an Immortal King, reaching heights beyond the grasp of ordinary people, hahaha!"
This divine soul had already intruded into Threeleaf's body.
It rampaged through, simultaneously using secret techniques to block others, preventing them from intruding.
"Hahaha, it's mine!"
"You... are mine."
"Wrong, from now on, you are me, I am you, we are one, merged into one."
"Is this the inside of a plant? I've never entered a plant's body before..."
"Huh?"
"Wait, where's the Sea of Wisdom?"
The originally excited person suddenly felt confused.
Damn.
Where's the Sea of Wisdom?
For humans, the Sea of Wisdom, except for a few 'abnormal' ones, is generally located in the Niwan Palace. Even for these few abnormal ones, with sufficient understanding of the human body, it's not hard to find.
But...
At this moment, he discovered that he couldn't find the Sea of Wisdom within this weed!
It's not there?
That's not right!
If it were just an ordinary weed, it indeed wouldn't have a sea of wisdom, but it has already cultivated to the ninth stage. How could it not have a divine soul? With a divine soul, there must be a sea of wisdom!
Where is its sea of wisdom?
After searching for so long, it still can't be found.
He can't wait any longer!
If he waits any longer, his secret technique won't hold up.
If others were to barge in, it’s uncertain who will end up with the spoils.
"Can't find the sea of wisdom, I'll assume your entire body is the sea of wisdom. I'll directly use my divine soul to forcefully brush through your entire body, erasing all divine soul imprints related to you."
"I won't believe this body... no, this plant body can't be used by me!"
Boom! He gritted his teeth and erupted.
Being in a divine soul state for many years, he was already adept at it, as if he were a fish in water. Even if it were just the ordinary peak of the ninth stage, he could still sweep through everything.
He would crush all divine soul imprints and successfully possess the body.
Threeleaf sensed the danger and had to 'detach' from the fragmented images, but the surging divine soul attack almost instantly overwhelmed her.
"Sword Three..."
Threeleaf fought back fiercely, "Ten Thousand Divine Tribulation."
The intense battle erupted! At this moment, all the competing divine souls outside stopped.
"Ah..."
"No chance."
"Already engaged, any intrusion now would be too late."
"The resistance is particularly intense!"
"This weed can actually resist Old Ink?"
"What a pity, such a heaven-defying existence, yet it was snatched away by Old Ink."
"Truly a pity!"
"..."
Threeleaf's entire body trembled violently.
But, they were not surprised.
Finally.
Threeleaf's entire body calmed down. The originally emerald green leaves were covered by an ink color.
It seemed to have transformed from a green weed into an unknown ink-colored weed.
"Indeed."
"That's inevitable."
"Even if this weed is extraordinary, it cannot transcend the world barrier. Coming from the lower realms, no matter how heaven-defying it is, it's just the strength of the ninth stage. How could it resist me?"
"Ah, scatter."
"Old Ink is quite lucky."
"Only, it can't transform?"
"Such an extraordinary weed!"
"But I'm a bit curious. If it can't transform, can Old Ink still... dual cultivate with humans?"
"???!"
"Damn, what a talent! Why can't I think of such a dirty line?"
"..."
Whether it be a sword cultivator or a fragmented soul, they all dispersed.
Only a weed of ink color remained, still standing in the same place, seemingly truly become a weed, motionless.
But no one felt there was a problem.
After soul possession, one needed to adapt.
Even if the possessed were all human cultivators, it was still the same. How much more for a weed?
Though Old Ink was strong, it still needed time to control.
To achieve such a heaven-defying ‘plant body,’ he couldn’t wait, and immediately began to ‘accept,’ ‘adapt,’ and ‘improve’ himself. It was only natural and reasonable.
However...
No one noticed that at the center of the ink-colored weed, the ninth leaf was just beginning to show its tip, fresh and green...
"May you have a smooth journey and everything goes well."
"Great Sword Qi Wall..."
"One day, we will go."
Lin Fan muttered softly.
Then, the Eightfold Mirror technique turned,ward, and he saw Chen An, Li Chunge, and Deng Tai’a, all three were heading to the Moon Holding Sect.
"..."
"Forget it."
After a brief contemplation, he muttered, "Though I wanted to make a big fuss, my head has already been exposed enough at the Prodigy Grand Tournament. It’s already been too much."
"If this continues, I fear more people will resent me."
"First, digest the current gains and quietly make a fortune."
"Also..."
"This Great Vehicle Buddhism trouble still needs to be resolved."
Lin Fan originally wanted to promote his three ninth stage sword cultivators, one of whom was even an inner sect elder of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, Chen An, attracting a wave of sword cultivators to come and seek him as a master.
But after a second thought, it was better to be a bit more low-key for now.
...
Before the three of them arrived, the Moon Holding Sect took in a wave of disciples.
It was those young men who had been kneeling at the gate, kneeling down and not rising.
However, as Lin Fan said, they all needed to swear a Heavens' Path vow.
Without the vow, no matter how good the talent, they wouldn’t be accepted.
Naturally, many were dissatisfied.
Especially those from the Central Province, or from hidden forces.
They had been educated from a young age to prioritize family and their own forces. This time, they actually just wanted to 'free-load' or even just to gather information.
In the end, the Moon Holding Sect directly imposed a one-size fits all...
Naturally, they wouldn’t agree.
Expressing their dissatisfaction wildly.
What could they do, the Moon Holding Sect wouldn’t budge.
Without the vow, no matter how good the talent, even if it were a Holy Body or Divine Body, they wouldn’t be accepted.
They were even more dissatisfied, making all sorts of fuss.
But...
It was only fuss, and no one dared to make a move.
In the end, no matter what, the Moon holding Sect refused to budge, and these people could only grumble and leave.
And those who truly wanted to join the Moon holding sect all took the vow and joined the sect.
And their talent and strength were not lacking!
After all, the moon holding sect’s performance at the Prodigy Grand Tournament was so dazzling. Without sufficient talent and strength, they wouldn’t even have the face to come and seek a master.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Fan’s shared talent could further improve.
Though he didn’t have the main character template to become a master, the benefits were still significant.
Two days later, Chen An, Li Chunge, and Deng Tai’a arrived.
