“I originally thought that by reaching this point, I had completely surpassed my master, but unexpectedly, I still benefit from his protective shadow,” Cangyang mused as he looked at his own ranking, filled with emotion.
He hadn't expected that the reluctant disciplehood he undertook would become such a critical turning point in his life. Having reached the limit of the Supreme Strong, the Overlord Realm, and participating in the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm, he was still reaping the benefits of his master's legacy.
His thoughts began to wander. He had believed he would not reminisce about the past, yet today, those long-buried memories surged back like a tidal wave.
He remembered being seven years old, wandering the streets due to famine, when he encountered his would-be master, the then Seven Kills Sword Master.
“Be my disciple!”
“Why should I?”
“As my disciple, you won't have to go hungry.”
“I can fend for myself without going hungry!”
“By fighting with stray dogs over scraps in the streets?”
That was their first meeting. The Seven Kills Sword Master, seeing Cangyang as a beggar child with exceptional natural talent, decided to take him as a disciple and teach him the Seven Kills Sword Path.
However, the Seven Kills Sword Master, who usually devoted himself solely to the Sword Path and rarely communicated with others, did not anticipate that his offer would be rejected by the child before him.
It was completely unexpected for him. With his strength and status, there were few in the world who could afford to decline him, yet certainly not this impudent brat.
Upon hearing the rejection, he couldn't help but mock, even though such behaviour was somewhat beneath him.
No matter how much he talked, Cangyang stubbornly refused to follow him.
Of course, even though Cangyang was sharp-tongued and resolute in his opposition, it amounted to nothing since his defiance was meaningless before absolute power.
In the end, despite Cangyang's piercing words, the Seven Kills Sword Master would not indulge him and forcefully took him back. This is the critique of the weapon over the critique of words.
Cangyang obviously felt great resentment, filled with a rebellious attitude, but the Seven Kills Sword Master didn't mind at all, as this was the style of the Seven Kills lineage. His own master, Cangyang's Ancestral Master, had treated him in the same way–it was their tradition.
For the Demonic Gate of Seven Kills, they didn't care about how filial or grateful their disciples were. All they needed was to cultivate strong disciples to carry on and glorify the Seven Kills legacy.
He didn't care whether Cangyang would be sincerely devoted or grateful to him.
For the Seven Kills Sword Master, all he wished was for Cangyang to continue the legacy he had cultivated, to find a suitable heir for the Seven Kills lineage, and ensure that this tradition did not end without a successor.
As long as the legacy could be passed on, it did not matter to him what Cangyang chose to do in the future.
Thus, Cangyang became a disciple unwillingly. Despite his dissatisfaction with the Seven Kills Sword Master, he was also fully aware that for a begging street urchin who competed with stray dogs for food, this was an opportunity to defy fate, one that he could not afford to miss.
So, while he outwardly continued to resist, he actually began to practice the skills seriously and swore to himself that when he became skilled, he would certainly give this 'benevolent master' a lesson.
However, life is unpredictable. Everything happened so suddenly. Before he could achieve anything, he received the news that his master had fallen in battle against the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing.
He often heard the Seven Kills Sword Master say that as a swordsman who constantly challenged the strong–and having defeated many such opponents–it was only natural that if he one day met someone stronger than himself and died by their hand, it would be a matter of course.
Yet having heard this since becoming a disciple, over a decade had passed with numerous strong foes falling to his master's hand, but his master had never once tasted defeat.
As Cangyang grew older and learned more about the martial arts world of the Great Ming Empire, he came to recognize his good fortune in having become a disciple to the Seven Kills Sword Master and understood the prominence of the sect master of the Demonic Way's Seven Kills line. Although not quite at the pinnacle of recognized supreme martial authority, they were only a hairsbreadth away, and in a life-or-death battle, it was uncertain who would emerge as the victor.
Therefore, Cangyang had never imagined that the Seven Kills Sword Master would fall in battle, let alone alongside the illustrious Supreme Strong, the Fengdu Ghost Emperor, with even the Divine Weapon Seven Kills Sword falling into the enemy's hands.
At that moment, the name Pei Xuanjing was etched into Cangyang's memory.
It was particularly so when he received his master's last words through the Demon Sect's current sect master, Xue Wuheng, saying that he had long foreseen his own demise and bore no grudge against Pei Xuanjing. His disciple need not seek to avenge him.
Instead, he expressed hope that his caliber-disciple would one day fully master the skills and follow a path even further than his own, to retrieve the Divine Weapon Seven Kills Sword, proving that his judgment was correct and that the Seven Kills lineage would not end in his hands.
