"Dan, hear out," Liang Ruohai said with effort, "Turn the ship’s head around now, don’t continue eastward."
"Teacher," Ji Dan wiped his tears, his face showing a fierce expression, "Please tell , who is plotting against ? Is it Nineteen, or Thirteen, or the Princely Heir?"
Liang Ruohai shook his head: "I don’t know."
"Young Master, Mr. Liang..." At this mont, the martial artists under his command also carried boxes of elixirs up to the observation deck, and were startled by the scene they saw.
"Listen to ," Liang Ruohai said, "Turn around."
Seeing his subordinates co up, Ji Dan imdiately regained his composure and no longer lost his composure: "Yes, turn the ship around imdiately, no one is to go to the Dao Feng Mountain Range again!"
"You all help Mr. Liang go down and rest."
"Yes."
"Brotherhood, thus inferior to the position of Princely Heir..." Once everyone had left, Ji Dan’s eyes were filled with desolation, and monts later, filled with ferocity: "Thirteen, Nineteen, Princely Heir, you wait for !"
...
Deep in the Southern Desolate, atop a golden, radiant Divine Mountain, stood a temple.
In the temple, there was a statue of a figure in a red Daoist robe, holding a feather duster.
"Hum~"
The statue suddenly ca to life and looked out into the distance.
The Blood Spirit Venerable pinched his fingers and suddenly, a fla appeared on his fingertips.
"Huh?" The Blood Spirit Venerable waved his feather duster, but the fla still leaped ten tis before it extinguished.
"It’s related to the Spirit Suppressing Palace, could it have been discovered?"
"No," the Blood Spirit Venerable shook his head, "it’s not the power of the Creation Compass."
The rebounding power appeared enormous, and its level was high.
But the source of it was very weak, like an ant that was difficult to discern clearly.
"An ant crawls to the edge of the chessboard, lifting a stone a billion tis its own weight?" the Blood Spirit Venerable muttered, "Interesting, why didn’t it throw it onto the chessboard?"
"Whatever was done, must leave traces, let’s calculate again." The Blood Spirit Venerable calculated again, but found that his Prediction thod did not stand.
His fingertips flared up with flas again.
The deadly rebound for Liang Ruohai was rely a flickering of flas on the fingers for the Blood Spirit Venerable.
"Huh~" The flas were extinguished again and the Blood Spirit Venerable looked at his fingertips pensively.
The stone was gone, the ant too.
But the traces left by the ant earlier gave him a faint sense of familiarity.
"Who could it be?" the Blood Spirit Venerable murmured to himself.
...
Zhao Xing had no idea that his casually cast "Five-Finger Destiny" had driven Liang Ruohai to the brink of exhaustion.
He was also unaware that the Blood Spirit Venerable, on a whim, had actually calculated him specifically.
However, his previous protective asures were very thorough, not letting the Blood Spirit Venerable obtain any useful information.
At this mont, Zhao Xing had already exited out of the Heavenly Gate.
He appeared in the midst of the clouds.
Zhao Xing thoughtfully flew back to the Qilin Flying Boat.
Long Xiao was already on the flying boat.
"Why did you co out so early?" Long Xiao asked.
"My Dao heart is firm, untempted, and my goal is clear," Zhao Xing said. He was aiming for a breakthrough with the Five-Finger Destiny and naturally didn’t waste any ti.
Zhao Xing took a good look at Long Xiao: "Not bad, you ca late but ca out early."
Zhao Xing’s grassman avatar led Murong Xue and Zixuan to co while Long Xiao and Mountain Cat were still absorbing in the Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring.
When Zixuan finished absorbing, Zhao Xing located the position of the Heavenly Gate.
By then, Long Xiao had already set off, heading towards the thirty-six peculiar peaks of Yunn.
The Heavenly Gate opened at 6:45 AM and Long Xiao arrived at 7:30 AM, encountering a grassman avatar left by Zhao Xing on the flying boat.
He arrived two quarters of an hour late, but had exited surprisingly early.
Long Xiao proudly said, "Pfft, you think you’re the only one with a firm Dao heart? Both old Chen and I have fought our way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
"Marquis Yunxiao is aweso!" Zhao Xing gave a thumbs up. "How was your harvest?"
"The Slaughter Sword Skill has now fully matured, and I’ve also created a new sword technique myself," Long Xiao couldn’t wait to show it, "Here, let show you."
"Sure," Zhao Xing was also very supportive.
"Look behind you," Long Xiao gestured for Zhao Xing to turn around.
Zhao Xing turned his head and saw, not knowing when, three cloud-white illusion swords had appeared behind him.
"This..." Zhao Xing was sowhat surprised, "Is this Shenxiao Swordsmanship?"
At this mont, Long Xiao’s sword technique already looked much like the version Zhao Xing had seen in his previous life.
Although it was still immature, it had entirely evolved from the incomplete "Slaughter Sword Skill" into his own creation!
"Eh? Shenxiao Swordsmanship? That na sounds good, very dominating," Long Xiao said, "I just created it and hadn’t nad it yet... Hmm, I’ll use this na then."
Long Xiao’s previous sword technique was obtained from an ancient tomb, an incomplete swordsmanship nad "Slaughter Sword Skill," which included Geng tal Sword Technique, Sword Qi Condensing thod, and four powerful moves.
But that was the incomplete version; what Long Xiao was now displaying was truly his own creation.
"In this lifeti, I nad Shenxiao Swordsmanship?" Zhao Xing was startled, feeling an indescribable sense of wonder.
"Heh, you wouldn’t believe it, but inside that Heavenly Gate was really strange; there were many swords flying about, each seemingly ten tis or a hundred tis stronger than the Slaughter Sword Skill," Long Xiao controlled the cloud-white illusion swords as they moved, "I wonder if Xiao Xia and Little Ji can withstand the temptation."
"They probably can," Zhao Xing looked toward the site of the Heavenly Gate.
At this mont, he could no longer see it because each person could only enter once, and afterward, it beca invisible.
Moreover, what each person saw inside was different; Zhao Xing found himself in space, while Long Xiao found himself in a Sword Pavilion.
These were scenes derived from the deepest longing in their hearts, yearning to comprehend.
