Chapter 583: Yuan Can Also Save the Trouble of Explaining

Although the inheritances of True Law and Supreme Law are endlessly profound, they are also extremely dangerous, so each is paired with a corresponding trial.

Regardless of realm, it only depends on whether one's own heart-nature and talent are a fit.

Only by passing the trial can one receive the transmitted art!

Sigh~

The gap between people, really.

Uttering that sigh of feeling in her heart, Yang Shuang suddenly seemed to remember something:

"Right, a few days ago Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor Zhao Ruoming also seemed to have passed the True Law trial and taken away an inheritance of the 'Supreme Talisman Sword True Explanation.'"

She had also heard about Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor Zhao Ruoming being beaten to tears at the Xian Sect Grand Competition two sessions ago.

So she casually mentioned it.

"Dog Brother also passed the True Law trial of the 'Supreme Talisman Sword True Explanation'?"

Chi Jiuyu was first a little surprised, then waved her hand dismissively.

"Whatever."

As the foremost prodigy of the myriad heavens and worlds, having someone chasing after her shadow—wasn't that perfectly normal?

Besides, ever since she recently got in touch with Little Ye and her curiosity was satisfied, she no longer cared about Dog Brother's movements.

Just like Little Zhao said before.

He's not important.

"Fine then! I'm off."

A thread of sharp light shot out from Chi Jiuyu's glabella, circled around her once, then stopped in front of her, transforming into a simply-styled, archaic blue-gold longsword.

"See ya!"

The instant she raised her hand to grasp the longsword, sword-light pulsed and surged, layer upon layer of sword-gleam rising up.

Hum~!

On the rainbow bridge, waves of air rolled, and rings of distortion visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.

A blue-gold sword-rent tore across the sky, tracing a straight line drawn together by gathered talisman-characters, and so ascended into the blue depths, finally vanishing completely into the boundless sea of clouds.

Clearly, Chi Jiuyu had directly ascended to a higher-level Soul Transformation route.

But the teleportation array leading to the Xiang Jianzong wasn't far; if she took the Soul Transformation path, wouldn't that be a bigger detour?

Though a little puzzled, she looked at the talisman-characters reflected between heaven and earth, lingering long without dispersing.

Whether its exquisite structure or its sternly biting sword-intent, both made Yang Shuang's heart once again rise with a touch of envy.

In just this little bit of time, Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor Chi Jiuyu's attainment in 'Talisman-Sword' had already completely surpassed her own…

……

……

On another island high in the sky.

Inside the Sect Master's office.

Behind the desk, Cheng Junming was using the Supreme Mystery Immortal Net, slowly withdrawing a sliver of his mind that had been invested in adjusting the world parameters within the Mysterious Image Realm.

After all, it was a proposal approved by the Ancestor, so they didn't dare not take it to heart.

So after a discussion, they decided each person would take one day, taking turns to watch over the situation inside the Mysterious Image Realm.

Today happened to be his turn.

Damn Shen Qingjun—clearly it was her proposal, yet she herself ran off on the pretext of breaking through to Tongxuan!

Once the new Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect is selected, I'll definitely make her/him/them fill in this vacant portion!

Cheng Junming complained inwardly.

He rose from his chair.

Casually took out a dart and tossed it to the side!

Thunk!

It hit the bullseye precisely, without the slightest deviation.

Isn't it because the workload is too heavy, so he picked up a little hobby to relieve stress.

Just as he was about to throw another, his whole body suddenly paused, and he raised his eyes to look out the window.

Hmm?!

He saw that within the high Soul Transformation route, among countless grey, dim escape-lights that wished they could erase their own presence entirely, one streak of sword-light was extraordinarily conspicuous.

Not only was it itself a dazzling blue-gold, its tail also dragged a long 'tail-flame' of talisman-characters.

It was practically shouting 'all eyes on me'!

One could say it was utterly at odds with the current 'steady' style of the Supreme Dao Sect's mainstream—wildly showy.

Cheng Junming's heart gave a jolt.

His weary spirit, worn down by heavy work, had grown considerably lighter because of this sudden piece of 'good news.'

Talisman Dao slightly weaker, Sword Dao relatively stronger…

That wasn't important!

What mattered was that the balance between 'Talisman' and 'Sword' was grasped just right.

Judging by its aura, she had clearly studied the 'Talisman-Sword' lineage's 'Supreme Talisman Sword True Explanation,' and her attainment was no mean feat!

Cheng Junming, filled with anticipation, finally passed the external protective magical artifact and clearly saw the identity of the one riding the sword-light.

Chi Jiuyu…

The expectation that had just risen in his heart was doused in an instant.

(￣ー￣*|||

Why is it still Chi Jiuyu again!

"Sigh~"

Actually, the moment he saw that flashy sword-light, he had already guessed it might be Chi Jiuyu.

But he still held onto a bit of hope.

After all...

What if?

What if it wasn't?

In the end, he was still overthinking it.

Teleportation Array District.

Outside the waiting hall of the teleportation array leading from the Supreme Dao Sect to the Xiang Jianzong.

A streak of sword-light descended, and dazzling golden runic symbols stretched out through the air, within which the figure of Chi Jiuyu materialized.

The people nearby in the waiting hall all glanced in her direction.

Almost every moment, streaks of escape-light were landing outside the waiting hall, but someone as flashy as her was truly rare...

Let alone the fact that this was still the Supreme Dao Sect.

One saw Chi Jiuyu with an indifferent expression, waiting until the runic circuits around her dispersed before unhurriedly walking into the waiting hall...

And getting in line!

As one figure after another walked through the circular archway for inspection, Chi Jiuyu still wore a breezy, composed expression.

But in truth, her mind was quietly deliberating, wondering whether her entrance and exit could be even more 'perfect.'

After all, she'd cultivated the Dao of Talismans for so long — if she didn't use it to show off, wouldn't that be a waste of heaven's gifts!

The cyan-gold longsword: "..."

She had still wanted to remind her, but she hadn't expected her master to actually be right this time.

Emm...

Just runic circuits alone were too monotonous; she had to add in some truly functional talismans.

For instance, the Blazing Flame Talisman, the Cloud-Drawing Talisman, and the Blue Dark True Thunder Talisman.

Winds howling, thunder and fire paving the way — just thinking about it is badass!

Of course, if these ideas were to be put into practice, she'd still have to go to the Sword-Trial Platform to experiment first...

And they could only be used in the wild or when carrying out missions.

Using talismans with too high a danger level inside a city — that was illegal!

She had no desire to eat prison food.

Soon, it was Chi Jiuyu's turn.

As she walked into the circular archway, its edges lit up with a pale blue glow and emitted a soft 'beep.'

This also indicated that she wasn't carrying any dangerous magical artifacts targeting the teleportation array or that might cause accidents during transit.

After passing inspection, she walked out of the archway and raised her right hand to glance at her palm.

A silver-white sword-shaped imprint surfaced in her palm.

Hm?

'Just now, did a Harmonization cultivator bypass the outer protective artifacts and glance at me?'

This sword imprint was left for her by Li Ke; it could, to a certain extent, block malicious surveillance from high-realm cultivators and launch a counterattack.

It counted as one of Chi Jiuyu's many life-preserving trump cards.

After all, she was the chief direct disciple of the Sword Venerable's lineage.

Although she had to earn spirit-coins and contribution points herself, she was in no shortage of various protective magical artifacts, sword imprints, and various offensive means that could serve as trump cards.

From a certain perspective, she existed in a superposition of 'poverty' and 'wealth.'

"Looks like there shouldn't be any malice." She muttered.

Thinking about it, it was quite normal — after all, her runic sword-rainbow was so dazzling that a Harmonization great power taking a curious glance wasn't anything out of place.

She immediately stopped overthinking and quickly walked down the corridor, entering the interior of the teleportation array.

Afternoon, the sun just right.

Xiang Jianzong Inner Gate, Xiang Jianzong Hall.

Li Ke was standing before the hall, gazing into the distance, as if waiting for something.

The rolling clouds surged endlessly, nearly covering the entire Xiang Jianzong Inner Gate; from time to time, one could also see streaks of sword-light darting through them, vanishing in a flash.

"Just as in days past..."
