Chapter 1321: Chapter 1318: Location of the First Grotto-Heavens, Jianzhou (First Update)

The golden light gradually dissipated, and everyone in the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, from top to bottom, stared at the clear sky above, all somewhat stupefied.

Then, the eyes of many began to gradually redden.

But at that moment, a streak of black light flashed by, and then a Demon Ghost, whose body had been blasted to tatters, fell out in a wretched heap.

Its appearance caused an uproar in the Golden Cauldron Pavilion.

"It’s actually not dead?" many people exclaimed in disbelief.

At the same time, the Demon Ghost spat out mouthfuls of spit in a furious rage and cursed bitterly: "Pah, damn it, lucky for me I dodged quickly, or else I really would have been killed by that crazy woman! Too bad, what can you do if you explode your own soul? It still doesn’t change the fate of this Sect’s annihilation!"

Upon saying this, the Demon Ghost cackled malevolently.

But the laughter abruptly ceased.

Because just then, the entire building of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion trembled suddenly, and then layer upon layer of radiant light spread upwards, encasing the entire Golden Cauldron Pavilion within moments.

The Mountain Protection Array had finally been successfully activated through the relentless efforts of the many elders and disciples of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion.

Although the radiance trembled and flickered at first, due to the extremely powerful formation diagrams left from the past, in the blink of an eye, the light of the Formation stabilized.

The Demon Ghost stared blankly at this scene, then roared furiously, "Damn it, all thanks to that crazy woman!"

But it was already too late for anger to make any difference.

Thus, the Demon Ghost could only watch the Golden Cauldron Pavilion with unwilling eyes, and said hatefully, "Don’t be smug, it won’t be long until all of you are slaughtered without a single one left! Humph!"

Having said that, the Demon Ghost vanished with a flash, turning into a streak of black light and disappearing from view.

Seeing it leave, the hearts of the people in the Golden Cauldron Pavilion finally eased somewhat.

But no one felt relaxed, because a terrifying thought had risen in their hearts.

Even the First Grotto-Heavens like Golden Cauldron Pavilion were not spared by these Demon Ghosts and nearly fell into their hands.

Then... what could the situation be for the other major Grotto-Heavens, perhaps even worse?

This thought heavily weighed on everyone’s minds.

And just as the Golden Cauldron Pavilion had narrowly escaped calamity for the time being.

In the distant east, a mysterious Jianzhou stood, surrounded by radiant light and an aura of outstanding people on magnificent land.

And this was the location of the First Grotto-Heavens, Mingxin Palace.

As the first among the seven major Grotto-Heavens and a sect that has never been doubted in terms of ranking.

Mingxin Palace has undoubtedly become the Immortal Sect of this world.

Even the land itself is named Jianzhou because of Mingxin Palace’s presence.

On this mystical land, there are countless extraordinary characters, but the majority are cultivators of the Sword Dao, who hold three-foot longswords and treat promises seriously while viewing life and death lightly.

It is also because of such a profound heritage that Mingxin Palace’s status is so transcendent, that people reverently call it Immortal Palace.

At this moment, atop Sword Mountain, located right at the center of Jianzhou, towering into the clouds, its peak touching the sky.

Mingxin Palace appeared like an unblemished exquisite jade, slowly floating amidst the clouds at the mountain’s peak.

If you observe carefully, you will find that Mingxin Palace is actually supported by an ordinary-looking Ancient Sword.

Furthermore, above Mingxin Palace, six chains extend and firmly connect it to the Sword Mountain below.

This is the location of the famed Mingxin Palace.

At this moment.

In the sword-refining pavilion at the top of Mingxin Palace, the Sword-holding Elder is sitting before a small window, playing chess.

However, his chessboard is composed of crisscrossing Sword Intent, with chess pieces floating and moving back and forth on it, dazzling the eye.

Tian Yuanqing, the chief disciple of Mingxin Palace, stands respectfully beside his master without any impatience.

Because he knows that his master’s chess game often lasts an entire day.

But while he can maintain his composure, Nian Xuexin beside him is already finding it hard to restrain herself.

One can see her gaze drifting out the small window from time to time and her body starting to fidget more and more.

After a while, she finally can’t help but whisper to Tian Yuanqing beside her, "Senior brother, has master fallen asleep?"

Tian Yuanqing finds it a bit funny and somewhat exasperating, but he keeps a straight face, "Junior sister, master is using chess to comprehend the heart of the sword. You really shouldn’t speak nonsense. Be careful, lest master hears you!"

Nian Xuexin, however, pouts her lips, "Hmph, you said the same thing last time, but then master played chess for three whole days, and if Elder Ting Jian hadn’t come, I bet he would’ve still been snoozing away, oblivious to the world!"

Tian Yuanqing, being magnanimous by nature and especially not good at arguing with others, and considering that Nian Xuexin is the youngest and most beloved junior sister among their peers, was momentarily at a loss for words upon hearing her say this.

However, just at that moment, a chess piece suddenly appears above Nian Xuexin’s head, lightly tapping her forehead.

"Xuexin, talking behind your master’s back again?" the Sword-holding Elder slowly opens his eyes and says with a smile.

Nian Xuexin lets out a small yelp and then, rubbing her head, she smiles sheepishly, "Master, you’re awake!"

"Nonsense, I never fell asleep!"

Nian Xuexin laughs, "I thought you had fallen asleep! Master is truly amazing!"

The Sword-holding Elder is both annoyed and amused; being the leader of the Fifth Elders and the undisputed head of Mingxin Palace, yet he finds himself utterly helpless against his youngest disciple.

Therefore, he can only shake his head and say, "You little rascal! I asked you to stand here to temper your sword’s heart, but you couldn’t even keep still for half a day. Back in the day, when I was in front of your grandmaster, I..."

"Stood for a whole month, after which the grandmaster recognized your exceptional talent and decided to pass on the true meaning of Sword Dao to you, leading to your current cultivation level!" Nian Xuexin smoothly continues for him, then speaks somewhat helplessly.

"Master, you’ve already said that 1,231 times! I’ve memorized it by heart!"

"Nonsense, how could it be that many? It’s clearly only 1,211 times!"

"Just the other day, you got utterly drunk with Elder Mo Jian and repeated it twenty times! Elder Mo Jian turned so pale listening to you, he nearly destroyed the Wine Sword Pool with a single stroke!" Nian Xuexin counts out the incidents on her fingers or the Sword-holding Elder.

The Sword-holding Elder scratches the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then glances at his eldest disciple, Tian Yuanqing, "Is that true?"

Tian Yuanqing ponders for a moment and then nods.

"No wonder that scoundrel Mo Jian went into seclusion after that day!" the Sword-holding Elder mutters to himself. Seeing Nian Xuexin looking at him with bright eyes, his face reddens and he quickly gives a few coughs.

"Er, Yuanqing, has your fellow disciple Fang returned yet?"

Tian Yuanqing shakes his head, "Based on the timing, Fellow Disciple Fang should have just entered the Dao Lineage Contest!"

Upon hearing the words ’Dao Lineage Contest’, a hint of disdain flashes in Sword-holding Elder’s eyes, "Dao Lineage Contest, haha! Even the name has changed beyond recognition, nothing like the original intentions of the old ancestors!"

Tian Yuanqing and Nian Xuexin fall silent, because everyone knows just how much disdain the Sword-holding Elder holds for the Dao Lineage Contest.

But as Sword-holding Elder was about to add more, he suddenly looks up abruptly, his eyes shining with a light never seen before.

"Demon Ghost?"
