481 My Fllow Countryman (2)
Fu Yuhua accepted it humbly and revealed a thoughtful expression. He reflected on his own situation and soon fell into deep thought. “I’ll take two more steps again.”
He adjusted his strength, each step faster than the last. Not long after, each step was close to 3,000 miles. It was ten times more powerful than his original escape technique!
Fu Yuhua was extremely excited. “Impressive. There are many people in the Black Spirit Realm who can use Divine Teleportation Footwork, but the number of people who can travel 1,500 kilometers per step can be counted on one hand.”
He bowed deeply to Song Shi. “Thank you, Brother Song. With this divine power, my personal strength will at least double. When this divine power is incorporated into our sect’s cultivation techniques and passed down, the entire Dian Cang Sword Sect will be able to improve further.”
“There’s no need to be polite. I was going to compensate you for the loss I have caused, and you’ve paid me enough.”
Song Shi shook his head. “The rest will depend on Sect Master to comprehend it himself. I have nothing more to teach you.”
“Haha, you’ve given me enough pointers. Let’s go. I’ll arrange a banquet to welcome Brother Song.”
Fu Yuhua was in a good mood. He turned around and walked back. “Brother Song, you should have cultivated the Sword Principle, right? I can feel a strong sword intent and sword Qi from you.”
“I cultivated a Sword Sage’s sword technique in the lower realm.” Song Shi nodded.
“Oh, then we’re really fated to be able to communicate.”
Fu Yuhua felt that Song Shi hit it off even more. He raised his hand and pointed at the sky. Sword light was released, instantly turning the sky green.
This was not a change in color. Song Shi felt that the world was enveloped by a special sword aura. Those who were not strong enough would definitely be melted when they entered.
“This is our sect’s Dian Cang Sword Technique. With a tap of your finger, the world will be verdant and the sun and moon will lose their color!”
Seeing Song Shi’s expression change, Fu Yuhua said proudly.
Song Shi nodded thoughtfully. “Wood Nature Sword Dao?”
“That’s right. Our sect’s Sword Dao not only has the sharpness of a sword, but also the endless growth of plants. It makes up for the lack of strength in ordinary Sword Dao.”
Fu Yuhua looked at Song Shi. “If you want to learn, I can teach you. Do you want a lot of spirit stones in exchange?”
“Do you want to give me less spirit stones?” Song Shi teased. “Can’t you teach me for free?”
“No, I’m the sect master. If I anyhow let this technique leak, the Grand Elder and the others will be even more noisy.”
Fu Yuhua said helplessly, “Furthermore, the Dian Cang Sword Technique that I sent can be considered an Emperor-grade cultivation technique. The complete part is even more precious than your Divine Teleportation Footwork. Even if I teach you, I can only teach you a portion at most.”
“Emperor-grade sword technique? How did you all become a second-rate faction?” Song Shi was puzzled.
“Brother, don’t expose us.”
Fu Yuhua’s expression darkened. “Actually, the reason is very simple. The last time the Heavenly Demon World and the Mystic Spirit World fought, our sect suffered heavy losses and ended up like this. Otherwise, we could be considered a first-rate faction in the Mystic North Continent. We’re not inferior to the Ji Family or the Black Tortoise Palace.”
“Oh, that’s admirable.”
Song Shi was serious. Being weak because he was protecting his hometown was more honorable than being strong due to the wrong reasons.
“Thank you, but it’s a pity that admiration is useless. It can’t be eaten. Ever since our sect suffered a huge blow twenty thousand years ago, our sect has never been able to recover. We went from being a tyrant in the west of the Mystic North Continent to nothing, In the end we were surpassed by the Star Sword Sect as one of the four rising stars of the Mystic North Continent.”
“The Star Sword Sect?”
Song Shi felt that the name of this sect was quite familiar.
“Yes, this old ancestor of the Star Sword Sect is indeed powerful. He took another path and used the power of the stars to cultivate the Sword Dao. Tens of thousands of years ago, he was just an ascendant from the lower realm. He rose in the war between the two worlds and obtained the title of Sword Emperor. He was ranked among the powerhouses of the Mystic North Continent and could even be ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Ascension List in the Mystic Spirit World. He’s indeed a role model for us.”
Fu Yuhua looked completely convinced, but it made Song Shi’s heart skip a beat.
Could this person be that the Stellar Sword Sage who came from the lower realm was the same person as the Nameless Sword Sage who left the Stellar Sword Technique in the Langya Mystic Realm?
He pondered for a moment and said, “Is this the sword technique of their sect?”
Song Shi raised his hand and released his sword aura. It was like the comet of the stars as it instantly tore through the Void.
Fu Yuhua’s eyes widened. “How do you know the sword techniques of the Star Sword Sect?”
“I didn’t expect it to really be him!”
Song Shi sighed. “I didn’t expect to meet someone from the lower realm here.”
“What? You mean you came from the same lower realm as the Star Sword Sect’s ancestor, the Myriad Star Sword Emperor?”
Fu Yuhua was shocked. “Is there something special about your world? Why is it so abnormal?”
“Huh?”
Song Shi was puzzled. “How am I abnormal? What’s wrong with him?”
“You don’t have to say it. There was something wrong with his brain. As for the Myriad Star Sword Emperor, he’s a masochist. After all it’s very painful to train with the power of the stars.”
Fu Yuhua shook his head.
“Uh… The Star Sword Technique focuses on the cultivation of sword intent. Perhaps, under torture, the sword intent will become stronger and stronger.”
Song Shi nodded. “I haven’t tried it yet. I can give it a try.”
“Hmph, cultivating at the cost of damaging your body is incompatible with our sect’s philosophy. I don’t recommend you to draw the power of the stars to temper your body. It will shorten your lifespan.”
Fu Yuhua snorted coldly. “It’s better to cultivate the Sword Technique of my sect. It can both attack and condense a pure life source. You can only become an immortal after living for a long time.”
Hearing that Fu Yuhua did not seem to agree with the concept of the Stellar Sword Technique, Song Shi smiled and said, “Why don’t I cultivate both of them?”
“…”
Fu Yuhua was speechless. “Dream on!”
With that, he quickened his pace and returned.
Song Shi followed leisurely. “Tell me the story of my fellow countryman. Has he ascended yet?”
“How can it be so easy to ascend? However, he does have a higher chance of ascending to the Immortal World. He hasn’t shown his face in the past few thousand years. He’s probably preparing to ascend.”
Fu Yuhua did not comment.
“Then I’ll pay him a visit sometime.”
Song Shi did not say that this was for the sake of seeking an upgraded version of the Stellar Sword Technique. He purely wanted to see his fellow countryman.
After all, up until now, he had only heard about this fellow countryman.
Thinking of this, he said, “You are the sect master of a sect after all, you are well-informed. I wonder if you have heard of Sage King Lang Ya?”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuhua staggered and was interrupted from Divine Teleportation Footwork. He turned his head and stared at Song Shi. “Don’t tell me this person is also from your hometown?”
Song Shi could tell that something was wrong, but he still nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Fu Yuhua looked around carefully. “Then you’d better not ask about this fellow countryman anymore, lest you get yourself into trouble.”
“Trouble? I’m most interested. What trouble? Is there a need to make you so nervous?”
Song Shi chuckled.
“You’re still laughing? I’m only telling you because you’re a good person. This Sage King Lang Ya is the Ji Family’s enemy. Even the Black Spirit Palace placed him on the Heavenly Punishment List. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s the common enemy of this world.”
Fu Yuhua said grumpily.
Song Shi was surprised. He did not expect the clues he had finally found to be like this. He was puzzled. “Reason?”
“I’m not sure. In any case, there’s definitely a big problem with someone who can make the Black Spirit Palace offer a bounty for him. It’s best if you don’t have anything to do with this fellow countryman. Be careful not to be targeted. That would be troublesome.”
Fu Yuhua said fearfully, “What I said just now was nonsense. I don’t remember you asking me about this, so you shouldn’t too.”
Song Shi looked at Fu Yuhua’s inexplicable taboo and frowned. “Interesting. What did this fellow countryman do to make his fellow tribesmen and the Black Spirit Palace bear a grudge?”
“You’ll have to ask them about that. That’s all I’ve heard. If not for the fact that our sect has some foundation, we might not have been able to come into contact with such secret matters.”
Fu Yuhua shrugged and quickened his pace, unwilling to say anything more.
However, Song Shi vaguely felt that it had something to do with the Void Sutra.
Just as he was about to ask about the relationship between the Void Sutra and the Ji family, he saw Fu Yuhua suddenly stop. They had already arrived at the entrance of the Dian Cang Sword Sect, but there was a group of unfamiliar cultivators waiting for them aggressively.
The moment he saw this group of cultivators, Song Shi felt a sense of familiarity. Fu Yuhua narrowed his eyes. “The Heaven Punishment Hall and the War Demon Hall have both appeared. You guys are giving Brother Song face.”
Song Shi came back to his senses and his face twitched. “Are you kidding me? Are you here to catch me again?”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two Supreme Saint experts appeared behind Song Shi at the same time. One of them was wearing golden armor and had a burly figure. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and held a huge sword in his hand. His aura was steady, and his powerful Nomological power made the Void heavy.
The other was completely black and had a slender figure. His eyes were slender and cold. He held a silver pagoda in his hand, and circles of lightning flickered between the pagodas.
The two of them floated left and right, instantly sealing off all of Song Shi’s escape routes.
Under the heavy pressure, Song Shi only pursed his lips. “Such a big commotion. You all really do think highly of me.”
