Chapter 195: I’ve Already Ruined The Inheritance, A
In the mystic realm, everyone froze in shock.
Even the Sword King fell into a deep silence.
Although he was only an incarnation of the Essence Soul, he also had sentience.
To be honest, he was ready to see Su Changyu weeping and kneeling on the ground, pleading for the inheritance from him.
However, he didn’t expect Su Changyu to say that.
“Are you worthy?”
‘Damn it.’
‘I am the King of Swords, one of the Seven Kings of the human race who has invincible sword techniques. Yet you’re asking me to fight?’
The Sword King was stunned. Moreover, he didn’t know how to answer Su Changyu.
Daoist Tai Hua and others were also confused.
The inheritance of a Golden Core cultivator was already considered an excellent inheritance.
Now that they had encountered the inheritance of one of the Seven Kings, it was the start of their ascension to greatness.
However, they didn’t expect Su Changyu to act up at this juncture.
Even Su Changyu was dumbfounded, let alone Daoist Tai Hua and the others.
Did he want that inheritance?
Of course he did.
Well, who wouldn’t?
However, the problem was, he couldn’t control himself.
‘What do I do? What do I do?’
Su Changyu panicked.
He was even on the verge of crying.
Fortunately, the Sword King was not an ordinary person. He naturally wouldn’t be angered by just a few remarks. After having lived for such a long time, he had experienced all sorts of events.
It was undoubtedly because Su Changyu’s words caught him off guard.
“I’m the Sword King, am I not qualified to teach you sword techniques?”
The Sword King remained calm and asked Su Changyu.
‘You’re qualified!’
Su Changyu screamed thrice without saying anything. At this moment, Xu Luochen wished that he could answer on Su Changyu’s behalf.
The words he had in mind were faultless.
However, when Su Changyu said those words, they had a different meaning.
“You can’t even prove the supreme Sword Dao, yet you have the audacity to call yourself the Sword King?”
Su Changyu spoke again.
He remained calm and the aura of the Sword Immortal seemed extremely rich at this moment.
In an instant, the crowd remained silent.
In particular, Xu Luochen and the others.
They looked at Su Changyu with anger in their eyes.
‘Forget it that you’ve pretended once. Do you still want to continue pretending?’
‘Usually, when you pretend in the sect, everyone will just turn a blind eye to it.’
‘You’re still pretending now?’
‘Is it interesting at all?’
‘Is it fun?’
‘Please, stop pretending, will you?’
‘Will you give us a way out?’
Daoist Tai Hua wept.
He wished he could cripple Su Changyu now.
On the sword platform, Su Changyu felt like crying.
He really did not know what he wanted to do.
He would act up every now and then.
‘You’re pretending again?’
‘Will I have any benefits from pretending?’
He wouldn’t stand to gain anything from it at all.
Su Changyu wished he could slap himself a few times. He was really furious and he wanted to cry.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Su Changyu. He was a middle-aged man who looked extremely ordinary.
His expression was calm and he even smiled a little.
He then looked at Su Changyu and immediately said slowly, “Indeed, I haven’t even proven the supreme Sword Dao yet and I call myself the Sword King. I’m indeed fishing for compliments.”
“But, Your Excellency, who are you?”
The Sword King asked. He was a supreme expert who naturally had an extremely high status of cultivation. He wouldn’t be angered by Su Changyu’s words.
If that were the case, it would be a real disgrace.
“A peerless Sword Immortal, Su Changyu.”
Su Changyu sounded calm and composed. At the same time, he also had an inexplicable aura.
After he said that, everyone continued being silent.
In the eyes of Xu Luochen and others, Su Changyu was already berserk.
He was out of his mind.
Not only did he pretend to be impressive in the clan, but he also did so when he was outside.
‘Senior Brother is harming us.’
Everyone was seriously speechless.
‘Su Changyu, are you crazy?’
Xu Luochen was particularly agitated. He wanted to ask Su Changyu if the latter really thought that he was a peerless expert.
‘A peerless Sword Immortal, Su Changyu?’
‘Why don’t you say that you’re the top expert in the Qingyun Dao Sect?’
He was furious and extremely upset.
Da Xu was the only one whose eyes were full of admiration.
He was looking at one of the Seven Kings.
Fortunately, the Sword King did not seem angry at all and instead looked at Su Changyu.
“Senior, can you prove the supreme Sword Dao then?”
The Sword King even called Su Changyu his senior.
He was just an apparition and not the main body. If it was his main body, he would be able to tell Su Changyu’s realm at a single glance.
“Supreme Sword Dao?”
Su Changyu muttered to himself before speaking up slowly, “I’ve already proven the supreme Sword Dao ten years ago.”
He said.
At this moment, Su Changyu no longer had any intention to resist.
He had given up on himself.
‘Say whatever you want, I’ll resign to fate.’
“Ten years ago? Senior, how old are you?”
The Sword King continued to ask.
“Twenty-seven years old.”
Su Changyu said indifferently.
“Twenty-seven years old?”
The Sword King was stunned as he looked at Su Changyu in shock.
“Each generation indeed outshines the previous one. Little friend, does that mean that you’ve already proven the supreme Sword Dao at the age of twenty-seven?”
The Sword King asked with a serious expression.
“To be more precise, it was at the age of sixteen. However, that year, I wanted to give the world’s Sword Dao cultivators a chance to catch up with me, but unfortunately, I waited for a year and still, there was no one who could prove the supreme Sword Dao.”
Su Changyu was boasting more and more.
Dao Tai Hua and the others remained calm. He didn’t know what to say either.
‘Su Changyu has already gone mad from boasting, we can only let him continue.’
“Sixteen? Proven the supreme Sword Dao? Little friend, oh, no, I mean, Fellow Daoist Su, it’s just a pity that you were born at the wrong time. If you were born in the same era as me, it would be a huge honor for me.”
The Sword King said with his eyes full of shock and admiration.
He obviously believed it.
Everyone stayed silent. They really couldn’t imagine that the Sword King would believe the words of a good-for-nothing.
‘This is seriously infuriating.’
At this moment, the Sword King spoke again.
“I thought I could find an inheritor, but I didn’t expect the first person to arrive here to be even stronger than me. In this case, my inheritances will be pointless.”
His tone was full of melancholy.
However, everyone panicked after hearing his words.
“Senior, don’t say that, we want it, we want it.”
“Senior, he might be a supreme Sword Immortal but we’re not. If he doesn’t want the inheritance, we want it.”
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua said with a sorrowful expression.
Su Changyu pretended to be impressive but they wouldn’t.
Su Changyu didn’t want any creation but they did.
“Yes, yes, Senior we are all good-for-nothings, you can give it to us if he doesn’t like it. We like it.”
“Yes, yes, we are good-for-nothings. We are the most useless of good-for-nothings. Senior, give us the stuff, we want your inheritance, we can definitely guard your inheritance well.”
Xu Luochen, Wang Zhuoyu, Xue Zhuan, Lin Bei, Chen Lingrou and others spoke up one after another.
They were good-for-nothings who needed the inheritance even if Su Changyu bragged and claimed that he didn’t want it.
Their lack of regards to their image made Da Xu, who was at the side, slightly stunned.
However, he also understood that no one would refuse the inheritance of the Seven Kings.
‘Su Changyu is the only one who doesn’t want it because he is a peerless expert.’
However, Su Changyu actually wanted it.
He was anguished.
How could he not want the Sword King’s inheritance? He just couldn’t control himself.
At this moment, the Sword King spoke again.
“But I... have already destroyed the inheritance.”
The Sword King answered.
Su Changyu was speechless.
Daoist Tai Hua was speechless.
Xu Luochen was at a loss for words.
So was Wang Zhuoyu.
‘You ruined the inheritance so soon?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
‘Why didn’t I see it?’
Everyone looked at the Sword King. It was not that they did not believe him, but rather, they didn’t see him destroying it.
‘Is this not a lie?’
Sensing the gaze of the crowd, the Sword King remained extremely calm.
“Most of the inheritances that we left behind are personal cultivation methods. Since Daoist Su said that he did not need the inheritance just now, I destroyed it directly. After all, the apparitions that I left behind during the creation of this realm can only appear once.”
“Since Daoist Su said he didn’t want it, there’s no point in keeping it.”
The Sword King explained and everyone had an epiphany.
“Oh, I get it.”
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and looked like he had been enlightened but he soon turned to glare at Su Changyu furiously.
“I’m going to kill you!”
Daoist Tai Hua roared with reddened eyes.
All in all, the inheritance was gone and so was the opportunity. He wanted to kill Su Changyu!
“Ah!”
‘Sinful disciple! Sinful disciple! Sinful disciple!’
Daoist Tai Hua roared.
On the sword platform, Su Changyu also panicked. He didn’t expect things to end up like this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been the first to go up.
‘I feel terrible. Why does it always act up at the critical juncture?’
He was really furious.
Su Changyu wanted to cry too.
At this moment, the Sword King spoke again.
“The supreme inheritance might be gone but there are still a few treasures left. Would you like to have it?”
The Sword King asked everyone.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“Senior, I want it, I want it, I’m a good-for-nothing.”
“Senior, I’m the good-for-nothing, give it to me and I will promote your inheritance well.”
“Elder, I grew up reading your book, I admire you very much. I want it, I want it.”
At this moment, all the disciples, as well as the sect master of the Qingyun Dao Sect, hollered. They were extremely agitated and excited.
‘The Seven Kings’ inheritance?’
It was a priceless treasure to them.
“Everyone, calm down, if you want the inheritance, you can walk up to the array formation platform. All seven of us have left behind a treasure each for those who are fated with us.”
The Sword King chuckled and did not feel disdain for them.
The seven of them created the mystic realm for the sake of leaving behind an inheritance. In fact, he felt embarrassed when Su Changyu turned down the inheritance.
Soon, the seven of them walked towards the stone platform.
Xu Luochen walked on the pill platform while Wang Zhuoyu walked onto the array formation platform, Xue Zhuan walked onto the talisman platform, Lin Bei walked onto the treasure platform, Chen Lingrou walked onto the transportation platform, and Daoist Tai Hua walked onto the heavenly platform.
The seven of them each stood on a different stone platform.
In the next moment, the Sword King waved his hand.
In an instant, a snow-white, frosty sword appeared in front of Su Changyu.
“Fellow Daoist Su, although I am not qualified to impart the supreme sword technique to you, this is a flying sword refined by me from the ancient divine essence. It’s a flying sword that can grow. A gentle wave of this sword can freeze everything within 1,500 kilometers. Fellow Daoist Su, if you don’t mind, please accept it.”
The Sword King said.
On the sword platform, Su Changyu looked at the snow-white flying sword in front of him and couldn’t help but be stunned.
The sword was crystal clear as if it was made of jade. However, it also seemed to be made of ice. It was extremely beautiful and was emitting a cold aura that was extremely intimidating.
He could be considered a supreme Sword Immortal.
Su Changyu was so excited that he was about to burst into tears, but on the surface, he still seemed extremely calm.
“It’s not bad.”
He couldn’t help but say something that he didn’t mean. However, the Sword King did not mind and instead smiled calmly.
A golden phoenix furnace appeared in front of Xu Luochen.
“Little friend, this object was my second brother’s collection of the world’s exotic treasures. It was refined using the Phoenix Wing Immortal Furnace, and it’s a Dao artifact that can grow. This pill furnace contains 3,600 alchemical array formations.”
“You don’t need to do any manual work. You just have to add the medicinal herbs and it will automatically refine and condense into a pill. This pill furnace also contains a Connate True Phoenix Immortal Fire that will help you with refining pills.”
The Sword King introduced the pill furnace but Xu Luochen’s face was already covered in tears.
He cried in excitement.
In this life, his biggest dream was to have a pill furnace of his own, but unfortunately, the Qingyun Dao Sect was too poor to afford a pill furnace.
If he wasn’t poor, why would he be willing to buy a black pot and use it as a pill furnace?
Besides, now that the dream he had since eighteen had finally come true, how could he not weep?
Xu Luochen refused to believe that he couldn’t pass the alchemy assessment with that pill furnace.
If he couldn’t pass the alchemy assessment, he would eat the furnace.
Soon, on the third stone platform.
A chessboard appeared in front of Wang Zhuoyu.
The chessboard was crystal clear as it was made of jade while the chess pieces were like dazzling stars.
Wang Zhuoyu was stunned as he stared at the chessboard intently.
The Sword King said, “Little friend, this object was refined by my third brother, and it’s called the Starry Chessboard which is an array artifact. This will produce an illusion of heaven and earth, and each of the chess pieces is an array artifact. If you use the Starry Chessboard to set up an array formation, endless array formations can be formed. There can be 1,500 kinds of evolution of a trapping array formation. I hope you will treat it well.”
The Sword King introduced the function of the chessboard.
“Thank you so much, Senior. Thank you so much, Senior. Thank you so much, Senior.”
Wang Zhuoyu stared at the chessboard excitedly, only to realize that his hands were trembling.
With that chessboard, he was certain that he would pass the array formation assessment.
Once he became a real array formation master, with the help of such a formation disk, he would be able to get more money.
‘Hahahah, I will ascend. Woo~ I’ll earn so much money.’
Wang Zhuoyu clenched his fist, his eyes full of passion. He had decided that he must become the best array formation master in Baiyun Ancient City and not tarnish the value of this chessboard.
Soon, on Xue Zhuan’s stone platform, a golden dragon brush appeared.
It was a talisman brush.
“Little friend, this item was refined by my fourth brother. It’s called the Golden Dragon Spirit-Containing Talisman Brush that can allow one to draw talismans in the void and increase the power of talisman paper by five times. It contains the soul of the Golden Dragon and it’s sufficiently powerful even though there’s only a fragment of the soul.”
The Sword King continued to speak and named the fourth treasure.
“Thank you, Senior, please rest assured that I won’t bring shame to this brush.”
Xue Zhuan squeezed this talisman brush tightly in his hand. He felt that he was about to advance greatly to becoming the best talisman master in Baiyun Ancient City.
“Alright.”
The Sword King smiled faintly before turning to look at Lin Bei.
There were no treasures in front of Lin Bei, but as the Sword King waved his hand, two beams of golden light darted into his eyes.
Sss!
In an instant, Lin Bei inhaled sharply, but in the next moment, he realized that there were some subtle changes in what he saw.
“Little friend, this is a treasure that my fifth brother condensed. It’s called the Heavenly Eye that can identify and authenticate all treasures in this world. From now on, you will be able to spot all treasures in this world. Of course, there are also some that are hard to identify, but I can guarantee that 99% of treasures won’t escape your eyes.”
The Sword King said.
Besides, Lin Bei also instantly understood what he obtained.
He was a treasure appraiser himself, and now that he had obtained them, he would advance greatly.
‘I can pick up treasures everywhere?’
“Thank you, Senior, I will always remember your kindness.”
Lin Bei was so delighted that he wished he could kneel down and thank him, but at the thought that the Sword King was only a spirit body, he did not do so.
Soon, the Sword King looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
Looking at his five disciples and the powerful treasures they got, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but get even more excited.
He was curious about what he could get.
In an instant, an Eight Trigrams diagram appeared in front of him.
The Sword King explained again.
“This Daoist, this object is called the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams that will allow you to make divinations. It also contains a portion of my sixth brother’s inheritance. If you get it, you can carefully observe it if you need to, but if not, you may also use it as a reference.”
The Sword King said politely and also informed Daoist Tai Hua what this treasure was.
“Thank you, Senior.”
Daoist Tai Hua took the Eight Trigrams Diagram and thanked with a bow.
Finally, the Sword King looked at Chen Lingrou.
Chen Lingrou became even more excited.
She looked at the Sword King with anticipation.
At this moment, a fossilized egg appeared in front of Chen Lingrou.
Chen Lingrou was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
‘What’s this?’
Everyone was curious as they were each holding a Dharma treasure in hand. Yet, Chen Lingrou got an egg.
Sensing the curiosity of the crowd, the Sword King could not help but speak.
“Little friend, my seventh brother doesn’t like refining so he did not leave any treasures behind. He obtained this object by chance and said that something remarkable can be hatched out of this. However, we don’t know if that’s true or not.”
The Sword King was slightly embarrassed.
After all, the egg didn’t seem like a good thing at first glance, and more importantly, it had been fossilized.
Even if there was a dragon or a Qilin inside, it would be pointless.
It was an item that had already been fossilized, and no matter how strong it was, it would be pointless.
“Huh?”
Chen Lingrou was a little upset.
Everyone had gotten something good, but she was the only one who got an egg.
Who wouldn’t be depressed if they were in her place?
However, she did not blame the Sword King, but she nodded instead and said, “Thank you so much, Senior.”
After hearing her words, the Sword King felt a little embarrassed.
“It’s alright, since my seventh brother was somewhat irresponsible, I’ll take responsibility. This is my supreme inheritance that hasn’t been destroyed yet. Since Daoist Su does not need it, I will pass it on to you.”
The Sword King then waved his hand, and in an instant, a large amount of sword intent entered Chen Lingrou’s mind.
In the next moment, the Sword King continued, “That’s all. Everyone, if you want to leave, just leave directly from this Well of This Life. We will meet again if fate allows.”
The Sword King left as quickly as he came.
After saying that, he vanished right on the spot.
