Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[Rumble.]
In an instant, the weather changed.
The sky was originally clear. The sun was shining, and white clouds could be seen.
Suddenly, there was a brilliant light accompanied by Sword Qi that shot across the sky. The raging gales howled furiously, stirring up countless smoke trails.
[Rumble.]
There was the roar of a raging river, and a bizarre phenomenon appeared. It was as though a galaxy was crashing down. A falling leaf with surging momentum appeared like divine punishment. It immediately leaped from the mountain peak where the Elder of Inheritance was to just before the entrance of the Yuhua Sect. The pressure it exerted was mighty.
When this sword came down, extremely dazzling light and surging momentum followed it. It lit up everyone around.
In their eyes, it was as though part of the sky descended when the sword came down.
When Elder Tian Qingzi saw this scene, he had a look of astonishment on his face. He couldn’t believe it as he roared, “The Great River Sword Qi!”
Other people may not be familiar with this sword, but the Heavenly Path Sect definitely knew what this was.
A few years ago, such a beam of Sword Qi traversed 90 ,ooo kilometers and, before the eyes of the cultivators of the world, cleaved down on the Monster Refining Tower of the Heavenly Path Sect.
The sword immediately destroyed the Monster Refining Tower that the Heavenly Path Sect had built over thousands of years.
The name of this sword technique was Great River Sword Qi Descends From The Heavens.
The master of the sword was Wu Shaobai, the absolute genius whose fame shook the world more than 40 years ago.
Therefore, the Heavenly Path Sect was no stranger to the Great River Sword Qi.
The members of the Yuhua Sect also saw this surging Great River Sword Qi. Naturally, the first thought that surfaced in their minds was: Was Wu Shaobai still alive?
This thought also surfaced in Elder Tian Qingzi’s mind.
However, before he could ponder this, the destructive Great River came crashing down on the Sword Qi, surging toward Little Nine.
Then, it charged straight toward Elder Tian Qingzi.
Elder Tian Qingzi could only receive this attack. He gave up on attacking the Elder of Justice and the previous sect leader and faced the Great River Sword Qi head-on.
“40 years ago, you were an absolute genius who stood head and shoulders above the rest. The people of the world praised your name, but I was not satisfied with this.
“My greatest regret is that I did not defeat you back then. Now, this is an excellent opportunity to do so,” said Elder Tian Qingzi with a burning passion in his eyes. His ambition burned brightly, and his fighting spirit was high.
He wanted to attack and face the only person he considered a rival, Wu Shaobai.
However, this surging Great River Sword Qi did not wait for him to attack. Instead, it came crashing down on him with tremendous speed and cleanly pierced a hole through his glabella.
The falling leaf seemed to pierce Elder Tian Qingzi’s glabella in the most elegant fashion. Blood splashed, and the leaf dashed straight into the midst of the disciples of the Heavenly Path Sect. Then, with a loud bang, the leaf exploded.
The exploding leaf was akin to falling cherry blossom petals. The scene was beautiful and mesmerizing. Each part of the shattered leaf took the life of a disciple of the Heavenly Path Sect.
With one falling leaf, the entire army of the Heavenly Path Sect perished. Elder Tian Qingzi, who viewed Wu Shaobai as a rival, did not even have the chance to attack.
That was because he was not facing Wu Shaobai but Li Qingshan.
He was against Li Qingshan, who possessed a root bone forest.
He was against Li Qingshan, who had maxed-level comprehension.
Elder Tian Qingzi, who was at the peak of the Great Venerable Plane, could only perish silently.
This scene caused the members of the Yuhua Sect to be dumbfounded.
Everyone was stunned. They did not believe what they had seen.
Little Nine had just been in a precarious position. She initially believed that her death was unavoidable. Who would have imagined such an outcome? In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Heavenly Path Sect were dead.
Little Nine felt as though this was all a hallucination.
She reached out and pinched her cheeks. When she applied pressure, she felt a pang of pain. Only then did she believe what she was seeing.
“That was too unbelievable,” said Little Nine softly as she swallowed.
The other disciples of the Yuhua Sect, the elders, and the sect leader also felt the same.
They all thought that it was an illusion.
Some of them blinked hard.
Some slapped each other.
Doubts began to grow in them.
This scene was too astonishing.
When they finally came around to believing what they had seen, everyone was filled with excitement as they discussed it.
“Was that the power of the Great River Sword Qi?” “This was the power of the Great River Sword Qi!” “Does that mean that Wu Shaobai is still alive?” “Is Wu Shaobai still in the Yuhua Sect?”
“Was the sword attack just now from Wu Shaobai?”
“The heavens have not forsaken our Yuhua Sect!”
“The Heavenly Path Sect went overboard. Now, they have all perished. It is truly gratifying. They brought this upon themselves.”
Right then, everyone in the Yuhua Sect was feverishly discussing this. They were overwhelmed with excitement.
Some people were looking around, trying to spot Wu Shaobai.
They believed that he was still alive and was in the Yuhua Sect.
The Elder of Justice and the previous sect leader stood together and looked at the raving crowd. They glanced at each other.
“Is Shaobai really still alive?” asked the Elder of Justice.
Even he was uncertain.
After all, the sword attack just now was real.
It had eradicated all the forces of the Heavenly Path Sect and saved the Yuhua Sect from their crisis.
The previous sect leader had his suspicions. However, he still shook his head gently. After considering it carefully, he said, “It is impossible that Shaobai is still alive. Back then, both of us witnessed him sealing himself in the stele. More than 40 years have passed. After the last remaining piece of his soul unleashed that slash a few years ago, there has been no trace of him in the world. You know this to be true.”
“Then, how do you explain that beam of Sword Qi?” asked the Elder of Justice.
“The Great River Sword Qi is Wu Shaobai’s signature magnum opus. In the entire Yuhua Sect, he is the only one who managed to cultivate the essence of the Great River Sword Qi. No matter how the other disciples cultivated it, they could not comprehend the true Great River Sword Qi Descends From The
Heavens. This sword also immediately eradicated the disciples of the Heavenly
Path Sect. That is something that you and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to pull off.”
The previous sect leader did not say anything.
He could not explain the situation.
“Could it be that Shaobai is truly still alive?” The previous sect leader also had a growing suspicion.
“If we search the sect thoroughly, we will certainly be able to find the person who unleashed the beam of Sword Qi. Regardless of whether it was Shaobai, that person will be the hope of our Yuhua Sect,” said the Elder of Justice in a low voice.
“That’s true,” replied the previous sect leader as he nodded his head.
On the mountain peak where the Elder of Inheritance was.
After Li Qingshan sent out the beam of the Great River Sword Qi, he no longer concerned himself with the situation at the entrance to the Yuhua Sect.
He had absolute confidence that his slash could resolve the issue at hand.
For Little Nine’s sake, this was the first time he had unleashed his might in full view.
He was very satisfied with this power.
His root bone forest had demonstrated tremendous use.
After he unleashed the sword slash, he did not continue to linger there. Instead, he headed straight to the Yuhua Sect’s Library.
At that moment, all the members of the Yuhua Sect were gathered at the entrance, discussing the sword slash they had witnessed just now.
There was no one in the Library.
Li Qingshan went to search through the empty Library. He began looking for relevant information about the war 3,000 years ago.
The Yuhua Sect’s succession had never been broken. There were still some written records about the war back then.
Some sects had long forgotten about the war.
In the Library, Li Qingshan found hundreds of books and manuscripts related to the war in the past.
These books and manuscripts were all buried deep in the corners of the Library.
No one was interested in events that had occurred 3,000 years ago.
Hence, he sorted them out and brought them back to Repentance Cliff. Over the next few days, he would carefully read through these books to find any trace of what had happened back then..
