Chapter 32: Elder of Inheritance Passed Away
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Little Nine had never come late at night.
She had been in the Yuhua Sect for four years now and had gone from a little girl to a tall and prim lady.
She was like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
Now that Little Nine had come to Repentance Cliff, her cultivation had reached the peak of the Distant Shore Plane and was one step away from the Venerable
Plane.
She was only 16 years old.
Her potential was unlimited.
Everyone in the Yuhua Sect had heard of Little Nine, the genius.
The attention and care that Sect Leader Feng Baiyu gave to Little Nine was also unprecedented.
The Heavenly Path Sect had sent more killers after the assassination attempt of the Bat King, but without exception, they were all stopped by the strong figures of the Yuhua Sect.
Little Nine did not go outside either. Instead, she just stayed within the Yuhua Sect and focused on cultivation.
When Little Nine appeared before Li Qingshan, he asked curiously, “Why did you come so hurriedly in the middle of the night?”
Little Nine took a deep breath and looked at Li Qingshan. “Brother,” she said, “the Elder of Inheritance passed away.”
Li Qingshan was taken aback. He felt shocked inside. The Elder of Inheritance was a pillar of the Yuhua Sect and at the peak of the Great Venerable Plane.
How could he pass away?
But seeing how Little Nine acted, it did not seem made up.
“The Elder of Inheritance lived for 2,000 years and already had peak cultivation. Even though he reached the limit, he learned the Immortality Method, so how could he pass away?” Li Qingshan asked with a frown.
“The Elder of Inheritance has been cultivating in isolation these past years, studying the Immortality Method. He wanted to break past the shackles of the world to become a Saint.
“But after three years, he put all his efforts into this and made multiple attempts to no avail. He even burned himself to try and succeed the last time,” Little Nine said sadly. “But unfortunately, it was still not enough. He passed away while in seclusion and disintegrated entirely. He has no remains.”
“He was even willing to burn himself for a breakthrough.” Li Qingshan was speechless for a long while after hearing this.
He had tried too hard. The Elder of Inheritance was not supposed to die this early at all.
“Who else knows about this?” Li Qingshan asked immediately.
He thought about it a lot. The Elder of Inheritance was a pillar of support in the Yuhua Sect. If news of his death spread, the Yuhua Sect would definitely be shaken.
“The Heavenly Path Sect already knows about this, ” Little Nine said after taking a deep breath. “Great changes will happen next, so I came to tell you.”
The Heavenly Path Sect would be the happiest to know that an elder had passed away.
“Brother, the Heavenly Path Sect will take advantage of this rare chance and attack the Yuhua Sect.
“Without the Elder of Inheritance, the Yuhua Sect might not be able to hold up,” Little Nine admitted. “If that time comes, I will have someone protect you and escape back. Return to the Great Yan Dynasty and be an average prince, living an average life. The cultivation world isn’t under our control.” She could already feel the imminent storm and felt very down.
She came to see Li Qingshan at night to tell him about her plan.
If the situation was irreversible, then they could only protect themselves.
“It hasn’t happened yet, so don’t be so pessimistic,” Li Qingshan comforted Little Nine after a pause. “The Yuhua Sect can still be confident.”
Little Nine shook her head. Of course, she knew much more about the Yuhua Sect’s internal affairs than Li Qingshan, so she was pessimistic.
“Brother, I must go now. Stay at Repentance Cliff, and wait for my news. I will fight for your safety with my life,” Little Nine said seriously. Then, she turned and left without giving Li Qingshan the chance to speak.
Li Qingshan looked at Little Nine’s back, brows knitted tightly.
The accidental death of the Elder of Inheritance would definitely bring about a huge chain reaction.
“Other than the Elder of Inheritance, the two most powerful of the Yuhua Sect are only the Ninth Heaven Great Venerables. One is Little Nine’s Grandfather-master, and the other is the Elder of Justice.
“But these two can’t fend off the Heavenly Path Sect,” said Li Qingshan helplessly as he shook his head.
Thinking, he gathered True Qi at his fingertip and drew a bird in the air.
The bird came to life and flapped its wings. It was very spirited.
“Call A’wei over,” Li Qingshan said.
The bird immediately flew out to find A’wei.
Materialization was a technique that Li Qingshan had learned in these three years, and it was advantageous.
It was how he usually communicated with A’wei.
In addition to Little Nine, A’wei was Li Qingshan’s other outside information source.
Little Nine was responsible for the Yuhua Sect, while A’wei was responsible for the outside world.
Not long after the little bird flew out, a young boy slipped into Repentance Cliff under the night sky.
“Sir!” A’wei stood behind Li Qingshan and greeted him respectfully.
A’wei had shed off the frustrations of an overflowing spiritual consciousness after three years. He had lost his fat and short figure, and had grown much taller. He had sharp features with defined lines, and his actions were fast and sharp too.
For three years, he kept a low profile in the Yuhua Sect. Other than when he came to Li Qingshan’s place, he always cultivated alone. His only friend in the Yuhua Sect was his senior sister, Little Nine.
“Did you know that the Yuhua Sect’s Elder of Inheritance has died?” Li Qingshan asked.
“I just found out.” A’wei nodded. He also had a surprised expression.
“If you already know, it means that the people outside know as well.” Li Qingshan chuckled wryly.
“The Yuhua Sect is like a big colander,” A’wei said, shaking his head. “Don’t think about locking information in. Even those elders are selling information to make a profit. It’s already a feat for them to keep any information for a day.” “Then do you know how the Elder of Inheritance died?” Li Qingshan asked.
“He passed away because he wanted to break through the shackles of the world,” A’wei said. “When he passed, there was a phenomenon in the world. The Elder of Inheritance’s angry roar traveled from the mountain peak hundreds of li away.”
“Did you hear the angry roar? What did he yell?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
A’wei had a strange expression as he said, “What he yelled was, ‘F*ck the world!’”
Li Qingshan frowned. An old man who has lived for 2,000 years should not get angry so easily.
Something must have happened that made the Elder of Inheritance lose control.
“Sir, if you want to know the specifics, you should go to the site,” A’wei reminded Li Qingshan. “The Elder of Inheritance died, but his spiritual print still hasn’t dispersed. You should perceive it. With your abilities, you’ll find something. After all, the Elder of Inheritance was going to enter the Saint
Plane.”
He was the only one in the Yuhua Sect who knew how powerful Li Qingshan was.
Three years had passed, and A’wei could control his cultivation well now. He had even reached the peak of the Venerable Plane, but he still could not take a single blow from Li Qingshan.
This was why he made that suggestion.
Li Qingshan nodded wordlessly, making a note of it.
“The Heavenly Path Sect will be overjoyed that the Elder of Inheritance has passed away. However, a big storm with conspiracies will happen next,” Li
Qingshan said, sighing.
Standing on the side, A’wei said, “The people of the Heavenly Path Sect should be discussing how to attack the Yuhua Sect right now.”
Li Qingshan waved his hand. “You can go now.”
A’wei left immediately. He obeyed everything Li Qingshan said.
Li Qingshan gazed at the Elder of Inheritance’s mountain a few hundred li away.
“I have been in this world for almost five years, but I still have not left Repentance Cliff. It’s time to go out and see the Yuhua Sect.” Li Qingshan lifted his foot and stepped across the mountain and river, heading toward the mountain of the Elder of Inheritance.
He wanted to take a look..
