Chapter 136: "Sword Cultivator, Not Strong Enough." _4
Millions of transmigrators from the past had almost all joined the Chao Tian Sect.
For them, in this unfamiliar world, the Chao Tian Sect was their sole belief.
Even though they were defeated,
forcing them to imprison themselves here, they still believed that among their descendants, there would surely appear an evil Heavenly Pride who would shake the Xuantian Continent for tens of thousands of years, and revitalize the name of the Chao Tian Sect.
They waited for a very long time.
Perhaps ten thousand years, perhaps twenty thousand, perhaps even longer.
They waited until no one remembered this matter, they waited until the Chao Tian Sect had disbanded and no one remembered, they waited until even the position of the sect master had no successors… but still, they did not wait for this peerless Heavenly Pride who, with Golden Core Cultivation, could kill four Nascent Soul Puppets!
The passage of time caused the last sect master of the Chao Tian Sect to even forget how to break free from this prison.
...
"..."
After being silent for a long time, Chen Qiu suddenly felt the urge to smoke, Back in his previous life, he smoked, but was not heavily addicted, and after transmigrating, he had forgotten about it, but now he suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.
For some reason, he just wanted to smoke one.
Meanwhile, in other documents, he learned that before he transmigrated, this prison was almost broken.
Over a hundred years ago,
a white-clothed sword cultivator starting from insignificance, in white clothes and with a sword, made his way where no one dared to speak loudly. This peerless sword cultivator named himself Jian Yi, intending to cut down everything in the world with one sword.
And this secret chamber was the very place where that white-clothed sword cultivator had once intensely trained.
That sword cultivator was truly invincible in the world.
With only the sixth level of Golden Core Cultivation, he could instantly kill powerful beings with Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation, traveled westward, stepped on the Ten Thousand Feet Snow Mountain, and met the Nascent Soul Puppet from the west.
At that time, this white-clothed sword cultivator had only one thought in mind.
To break this prison,
To uphold the name of the Chao Tian Sect,
with the sixth level of Golden Core Cultivation, and after clashing with that Nascent Soul Puppet for hundreds of rounds, being defeated and gravely wounded, he retreated.
At the moment of his downfall, he left a message in the secret chamber and then left the chamber with no known whereabouts.
"Sword cultivators are not strong enough."
A man who was once considered the strongest sword cultivator in Da Xia left behind a message that sword cultivators were not strong enough before his death.
But from these documents, he learned that when the Chao Tian Sect set up the Deceiving Heaven Array long ago due to their fanaticism for sword cultivators, a rule was specifically added to the puppets, allowing only sword cultivators to thoroughly defeat the puppets.
This was to prevent juniors from straying and giving up on sword cultivation.
The Chao Tian Sect was a sect purely dedicated to sword cultivation.
All swords launched together, the dance of the phoenix, and the roar of the dragon, that is what made a sword cultivator.
...
"Sigh..."
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Little Wolf, who was now curled up and sound asleep on the bed, and remained silent with a complex expression, seeing that Little Wolf seemed quite familiar with this secret chamber.
He must have been here before.
And even stayed for quite some time.
Could Little Wolf's previous master have been that strongest sword cultivator of Da Xia? Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
The timeline doesn't add up; that strongest sword cultivator of Da Xia died a hundred years ago whereas, based on the food supplies inside the Storage Ring in Little Wolf's mouth, it could be inferred that Little Wolf's last master left about three years ago.
He now harbored many doubts within his heart.
The nine legacies had existed for over a thousand years, so why hadn't the strongest Sword Cultivator of Da Xia seized the Sword Cultivation legacy when his power was so formidable? If he had taken the Sword Cultivation legacy and elevated his Cultivation from the sixth level of Golden Core to the peak of Great Perfection, he might have been able to defeat the Puppet.
Moreover, why did he challenge at only the sixth level of Golden Core? Even if he was no match, why didn't he retreat immediately? Known to him, there once was a Sword Cultivator at the Great Perfection Realm of Golden Core Peak who had ventured to investigate the east, west, north, and south directions, and although he returned severely injured each time, he at least didn't lose his life.
This meant that as long as you wanted to escape, those Nascent Soul Cultivation Puppets would not take your life.
"Sword Cultivators are not strong enough."
"..."
Chen Qiu slowly closed his eyes and gently massaged his temples, roughly grasping the State Preceptor's thoughts. In his mind, he had always suspected that Old Man Cao, the guardian of the Array Repairer legacy, was the State Preceptor.
The methods of the State Preceptor were clear.
Raise him to be the strongest Magic Practitioner of Da Xia and have him severely injure the four Great Nascent Soul Puppets.
Then cultivate the scholar to become the strongest Sword Cultivator of Da Xia to deliver the final blow to the four Great Nascent Soul Puppets.
Thus thoroughly breaking this prison.
As for why that strongest Sword Cultivator from a hundred years ago did not take the Sword Cultivation legacy, he still couldn't think of an answer, nor who exactly were the Nascent Soul guardians of those nine legacies.
After a long silence,
he carefully searched the secret room. Finding no other items or information, he took Little Wolf and left the secret room to return to the small world, pondering briefly before deciding not to tell the scholar about this matter.
The impact was too great.
Instead, he pulled Fat Long aside in a corner and told him about it.
...
"...Huh?"
Fat Long, who had listened to the entire story, unconsciously opened his mouth wide. Only after a long while did the severe shock on his face slightly recover as he picked up his jaw from the ground and muttered,
"Brother Qiu, are you saying that everyone in Da Xia Country and even in the Hundred Countries are descendants of transmigrators?"
Chen Qiu paused before softly saying, "You could understand it that way."
Fat Long was silent for a very long time. Finally, with a complex expression, he looked up at Chen Qiu and said, "Brother Qiu, give me a moment to digest this. According to what you said, tens of thousands of years ago, a vast number of our ancestors transmigrated to the Xuantian Continent."
"But according to Blue Star's history, humans were still in the Neolithic era tens of thousands of years ago. That's ancient history."
"I haven't quite figured it out either."
Chen Qiu shook his head, "But I also don't want to think about it anymore. The more I know, the more bewildered I become. Right now, the most important thing for me is to quickly enhance my Cultivation and then see if I can break out of this prison."
"I also want to go out and see."
"See the world that our ancestors once stepped on, see the traces they left on the Xuantian Continent, see the Holy Daughters of the Major Sects who were recorded as peerless beauties in the manuscripts, see the reputations our ancestors once carved out."
"By the way—"
Chen Qiu suddenly chuckled, "It suddenly feels all rather coincidental; my name just happens to be Chen Qiu, which consists of three drops of water and a prison, exactly like the meaning of 'Water Prison,' and Qiu itself also means to swim."
"To swim in a Water Prison and attempt to break through the prison, the symbolism is quite good."
"Alright."
He patted Fat Long on the shoulder, "Let's not think about these things for now; whether Old Man Cao is the State Preceptor or not, and whether some of the opportunities I had were created by Old Man Cao, it doesn't matter. Our goals are aligned with the State Preceptor's at the very least."
"Once my Cultivation reaches the Golden Core Peak of Great Perfection, I can burst into the palace and confront the State Preceptor face to face."
"Then all the truths will be revealed."
"Your most important task right now is to cultivate. You are a Great Elder of the Chao Tian Sect. Don't embarrass the Chao Tian Sect once you get out."
"Spend more time on your Cultivation. That Witch with the Golden Core fifth level Cultivation should last you quite a while."
