Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 71: The Legend of Stealing
Chen Shushu feels a little embarrassed now.
He was not good at interacting with other cultivators, especially those whose cultivation was obviously higher than his.
It is rare to see a hidden opportunity appearing outside the Forbidden Forest. He happened to be nearby, and with his personality, he naturally would not miss such an event.
In fact, during this short period of time, he witnessed with his own eyes the fights among the young generation of cultivators, saw the birth of a legacy he had never seen before, and even saw from afar the strange beast dragon centipede whose strength was comparable to that of the thirty-three sect masters.
Every time he thought of any of these things, his blood would boil and he would be excited for a long time.
But this feeling of excitement does not include meeting a few fellow practitioners who practiced together in the past.
Xiaoshu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but before we separated, you were already at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. After all these years, you haven't made any progress at all. I remember there were several times when we practiced magic, and your speed of practice was the fastest. Aren't you too unmotivated?
The person who spoke spoke with deep emotion and shook his head with regret.
He calmly looked at the familiar face in front of him. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with a jade pendant around his waist. Although the texture of the robe looked like that of an ordinary country, the material used was extraordinary.
Especially, the way this person behaves has a feeling of being a person of high position and power, living a life of luxury, and when he speaks, he has the attitude of a senior to a junior.
He was slightly angry, but when he looked at his scholarly attire, which was worn and torn in several places, he put away his anger.
What can we do?
He was not keen on cultivating Taoism, but this former friend with whom he had cultivated for quite a while had already reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation and could fly into the sky. He had become a minister of the Mortal Kingdom and lived a life of luxury and wealth.
Just like good friends who study and work together , maybe everyone is very close and calls each other brothers at the beginning, but as time goes by, different backgrounds and experiences will always widen the gap between each other.
At this time, there will always be a few friends who once reminded everyone not to forget each other when they become rich and powerful, and they will alienate their former friends who are not as happy as they thought.
He suddenly had the urge to practice diligently, but he felt that this was not what he was interested in.
Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder.
Chen Shushu's body stiffened as he was thinking about it.
Turning around, I saw a familiar face.
Chen Shushu's expression changed three times in an instant, from confusion to shock: "It's you?!"
"It's me." Wang Chen said with a smile.
The casual cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Condensation looked Wang Chen up and down, his pupils shrank slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face. He took the initiative to greet Wang Chen: "Daoyou, you have already cultivated to the realm of flying in the sky, right?"
With a smile on his face, he put his hands behind his back without leaving any trace, revealing a cold iron flying sword with a faint blue glow at his waist. The flying sword exuded a faint cold aura. For a casual cultivator, it was already a rare top-grade flying sword.
"It has only been completed not long ago." Wang Chen responded casually.
Then he pulled Chen Shushu aside and said, "Is it convenient? I have a question for you."
Seeing the Qinggang sword casually hanging on Wang Chen's waist, Xu Gang's face flashed with contempt, but on the surface he remained calm and said:
"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in becoming a worshiper of the Mortal Kingdom?"
The Qinggang Sword is a top-grade sword for cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and is also a good-quality sword for cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. However, it is indeed a bit shabby for cultivators at the Sky Control Realm whose true energy quality has greatly improved after the sixth level of Qi Condensation.
"Not interested." Wang Chen responded casually. His purpose of coming here was Chen Shushu, the encyclopedia. Otherwise, he would not bother to pay attention to such a person who exuded the air of pretense.
Xu Gang's face flashed with a sinister expression, and he continued to introduce the various benefits of being a tribute from the Fan Kingdom to Wang Chen. According to him, as a tribute from the Shen Kingdom, he could mobilize the power of the Fan Kingdom to search for whatever he wanted. In addition, as a tribute in the Fan Kingdom, not only would the emperor follow his lead, but he could also use the resources of the Fan Kingdom to make friends with many monks from the sects who came to visit. If these monks from the sects were satisfied with being served, they could give you some pointers and help you make great progress in your practice.
Eventually, he got to know more and more monks from different sects, which was a great help to the worshiper himself.
"Moreover, as a sacrifice, you just want the princess, or even the queen..." Xu Gang talked happily for a long time, but Wang Chen and Chen Shushu didn't hear a word he said, and resentment appeared on their faces.
There were conflicts between the priests from different mortal countries, and even between priests from the same mortal country. He tried his best to win over Wang Chen, who in his opinion had just flown into the air. He just wanted to win over a cannon fodder. Moreover, Wang Chen's flying sword was of poor quality, his clothes were ordinary, and his cultivation must not be strong. He was the perfect type to be easily controlled.
"Brother Xiaoshu, can you tell what kind of inheritance this was?" Wang Chen didn't have time to listen to Xu Gang's chatter and simply ignored him.
"Huh? You can also tell that this is a heritage?" Chen Shushu exclaimed.
"This golden light column has a human form, and it doesn't look like Buddha or Taoism. Instead, it has the charm of various sects. If I'm not mistaken, this inheritance is the inheritance of the Six Paths Sword Sect that has been lost for a thousand years. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a strange man named Huang Yi. He was impressed by the fact that Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism each had amazing magical powers, but they never communicated with each other, so he made a great ambition to blend the three schools' skills together."
"So he entered the most famous Confucian Jianglong Academy at the time, and after learning its inheritance, he entered the Buddhist Tianqing Temple, and finally mixed into the Taoist giant Xuanzong. Among these three giant sects, Huang Yi obtained the highest inheritance with his unparalleled talent."
Wang Chen frowned. "According to what you said, he first entered the Confucian school and the Buddhist school. How could he have inherited the Buddhist tradition and then entered the Taoist school? Could he have brought his skills with him to join the master?"
"This is what makes Huang Yi so powerful. He is extremely talented, so talented that these righteous giants are unwilling to miss out on a disciple like him. Moreover, he is very cruel to himself. After learning the Buddhist tradition for a hundred years, he actually gave up all his Buddhist teachings and became a Taoist." Chen Shushu said.
Abandoning the cultivation method he had practiced? Wang Chen's eyelids jumped. How could this be described as cruel?
You have to know that a person's martial arts are related to the body's many meridians and muscles, and they cannot be wasted just like that. Most likely, this extraordinary person also suffered serious injuries when he gave up his martial arts.
"This is the legendary 'stealing the road' incident in the cultivation world!" Chen Shushu usually likes all kinds of strange stories. At this moment, seeing Wang Chen, a high-level cultivator in the sky-controlling realm, so humble, he became interested and ignored Xu Gang who was dressed neatly beside him.
"After that, he remained silent for a hundred years. When he reappeared, he was already in the early stage of foundation building. However, with his early stage of foundation building, he killed ten top late stage foundation building cultivators of the evil sect and became the founder of the Six Paths Sword Sect, the best in the world."
"It is said that he integrated the top traditions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. When he cast a spell, it was radiant with golden light, like an immortal, a Buddha and a saint."
"Unfortunately, although the Six Paths Sword Sect was full of talented people, no one was able to inherit Huang Yi's legacy. As a result, only five of the Six Paths Sword Art were able to be passed down, and no one was able to cultivate the strongest Heavenly Path Sword Art, and it was eventually lost."
"What's even more devastating is that these six disciples all died in a fight, and the entire sect fled and is nowhere to be found. As a result, even if the Six Paths Sword inheritance reappears now, it is just a piece of chicken ribs." Chen Shushu shook his head and sighed.
"What about Huang Yi?" Wang Chen was puzzled. How could such a powerful person just disappear like that?
"I really don't know. After he founded the sect, he was never seen again. Some people say that he found the golden elixir path and ascended to the immortal world. Others say that he became possessed and died."
"So if you put it that way, these six swords should be very powerful, why are they called useless?"
"Because this inheritance is incomplete." Chen Shushu remained calm. When he talked about the things he was good at, he seemed like a different person.
“I just looked at the inheritance energy column carefully, and I only saw saints, but not non-heaven hungry ghosts and hells. Therefore, this inheritance is most likely just the human sword technique among the six paths.”
"Even if it is the best inheritance in the world, if it is incomplete, how can it compete with other complete inheritances of the same level?"
"What's more, the Six Paths Sword Art is not something that ordinary people can practice. Apart from Huang Yi, no one in the world can completely master one of them. Otherwise, how could his six disciples perish?"
The Six Paths Sword turned out to be useless? Wang Chen felt a little disappointed, but then he thought that he was a casual cultivator, and it was a great opportunity for him to obtain this inheritance. Moreover, how could he, Wang Chen, use common sense to make inferences?
Chen Shushu was speaking eloquently.
Xu Gang's patience had reached its limit and he snorted coldly.
"What is a useless person who is at the fourth level of Qi Condensation and has no ambition to make progress yelling about?"
Chen Shushu's face darkened instantly.
"And you, look at your broken flying sword, why don't you cherish the opportunity..."
Bang!
A sole of a foot landed firmly on Xu Gang's face.
The foot was so fast that it flattened Xu Gang's entire facial features. Then a huge impact force came, causing the well-dressed Fan Kingdom priest to fly out as if hit by a huge hammer.
Wang Chen, who retracted his foot, murmured, "I dare say that Encyclopedia is a useless person who does not want to make progress. He is tired of living."
Wang Chen, who was used to the fickleness of the world, was particularly disgusted by these bastards who took advantage of their wealth and status to abuse their power.
Moreover, the person in front of him actually said that the Qinggang sword that had accompanied him through countless life and death situations was a flying sword.
court death!
Chen Shushu turned his head slowly, his heart filled with mixed emotions of excitement and touching, his eyes moistened slightly.
