Chapter 971: Chapter 51 Giant Spirit Snake Armor_5
Yan Shi and Yan Li immediately became overjoyed and hurriedly expressed their thanks. Just like that, Ah Dai began his tailoring work.
While Ah Dai was assisting Yuan Ping in cutting the snake skin, Brother Xi Wen had already arrived inside the stone cave.
"We pay our respects to Master," the seven people respectfully saluted towards the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, who was seated on the rock.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang opened his eyes and said indifferently, "All of you, rise."
The disciples stood up, and Xi Wen asked, "Master, you summoned us. Do you have any instructions?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang let out a sigh and said, "Ah Dai has already been here for half a year. I have taught him everything I can. An eagle must soar in the sky to grow into the ruler of the vast heavens. In a few days, I plan to have him descend the mountain to experience the world. This child Ah Dai has a pure nature and quite remarkable aptitude; he has eaten the Fruit of Past Life in his childhood, which is a rare gift from the heavens. He is indeed worthy of inheriting my mantle. The future development and prosperity of the Tian Gang Sword Sect now depend on him. Xi Wen, as the Sect Leader of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, I request of you to fully support Ah Dai without reservation, especially when the millennium tribulation arrives. Do not hold back any power. Remember, only when the continent is in a state of peace and prosperity can our Sword Sect develop smoothly. All of you are my disciples. The "Cycle of Rebirth" technique that I have recently developed can be cultivated together with a few of your junior brothers; perhaps it will be useful in the future."
Hearing the words of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, Brother Xi Wen and the others exchanged glances, each feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang gave a faint smile and said, "You have guessed it, haven’t you? Your Master is about to leave. Don’t be sad. This is determined by fate and beyond human power to recover. Those who should go must eventually depart. Only when the old strength fades and new strength emerges can there be better development. Do you understand?"
The seven disciples of Xi Wen were greatly shaken and knelt on the ground, calling out sorrowfully, "Master."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang was usually strict, and even towards his own disciples, he was no exception. However, today his tone was surprisingly tender, "You all are Master’s pride. However, you must never be self-satisfied with your own achievements. You have all seen Xuan Ye who came last time. With your martial skills, not a single one of you is his match in one-on-one combat. And he is much younger than you! Therefore, you must diligently continue your cultivation, especially in nurturing the next generation. Put in more effort so that our Tian Gang Sword Sect can thrive endlessly. After half a year of my guidance, Ah Dai has seen significant improvement in his skills. I believe that his future achievements will surely not be inferior to mine; this can also be considered as my reparation for Owen. You may leave. Call Ah Dai back here. Seven days from now, I will ascend from here. At that time, you just have to come to see me off; it could be considered that I have not taught you in vain. Remember, unless Ah Dai breaks through the ninth level of the "Cycle of Rebirth", do not disclose news of my death. Understood?" The intention of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang could not be clearer—if Ah Dai’s strength was insufficient to replace his spiritual stature, announcing his death would surely deal a severe blow to the Tian Gang Sword Sect.
The seven disciples, Xi Wen included, were already in tears, having spent several decades with the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. For this teacher of profound cultivation, their feelings were not only respect but also contained many other emotions. For a moment, the stone cave was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang closed his eyes and sighed, "Children, although you are already not young, in Master’s eyes, you are still children. Don’t be sad. As long as you carry forward the Tian Gang Sword Sect, that will be the best way to repay your Master. At my realm, I have long since lost the sensation of life and death. Death is but another beginning of life. Go now, go. Call Ah Dai back; I have some things I want to leave for him. Oh, and look." He extended his hand and pointed towards the corner where the Golden-eyed Sheng Xie Dragon was sleeping.
