Chapter 325: Challenge the Asking Sword Platform

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Challenge the Asking Sword Platform

"Senior brother, just focus on your sword cultivation, we will call you if anything arises!" Chu Feng’s trip to the Sword Tomb this time yielded a great harvest, but he used up almost all the Talismanic Elixir he had made.

He needs to make some more to carry with him as reserve.

Currently, the situation at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect is unstable. Chu Feng wouldn’t naively trust any so-called rules.

Strength determines everything.

...

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye. Elder Shoumei’s body, under the dual care of the Elixir prepared by Chu Feng and the accompanying diet, improved rapidly, showing remarkable recovery every day.

By the seventh day, he was able to perform Sword Flight again. This also meant that he was able to retain his Sword Saint Realm.

However, the lifespan he lost was difficult to regain.

Elder Shoumei was already of a considerable age, and with the significant reduction in lifespan this time, some frightening symptoms began to appear on his body.

For instance, the liver spots unique to the elderly, also known as age spots.

Moreover, his feet and armpits began to exude a foul-smelling yellow fluid.

His eyes no longer had the previous luster, and his spirit had considerably weakened.

All these symptoms forewarned of his approaching end, leaving him not much time. Unless he can obtain an elixir that prolongs life or make a breakthrough in his cultivation to advance to the Sword God Realm, he fears he might live at most another ten years.

"Master, are these symptoms you’re exhibiting the Heavenly Person Five Decays?" Qin Keren asked with a trembling voice.

Ordinary people or ordinary Sword Dao masters, when their end is near, only experience aging of the body, followed by death.

But it’s different for strong practitioners with Sword Saint Cultivation. They have transcended the category of mortals. They exist between being half mortal and half divine.

Sword Saints possess extremely long lifespans, generally living at least a thousand years or more.

When their lifespan starts running out, their bodies manifest certain symptoms prior to old age death, which are called the Heavenly Person Five Decays.

"Your teacher has lived over thirteen hundred years; I have lived a long enough life. Even if I die, it will be a natural and full life, which counts as longevity. So, you don’t need to be sad," Elder Shoumei said calmly about life and death.

"Where is Chu Feng? Your teacher was able to retain his cultivation and fully recover from his injuries this time, all thanks to him," Elder Shoumei glanced around and did not see Chu Feng’s figure.

Now, in his heart, Chu Feng’s status had soared, surpassing the other four disciples.

The most correct thing Elder Shoumei did in his life was to take Chu Feng as a disciple.

He was even certain that as long as Chu Feng could reclaim the Nine Yang Sword Veins, he would surely become the most promising among all his disciples. Perhaps, he could even become the leading figure of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Taking the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to the next level.

"Master, your disciple is here!"

Chu Feng and Luo Mi entered from outside at the same time.

After preparing the Talismanic Elixir, Chu Feng and Luo Mi practiced swordsmanship together outside, exchanging ideas on sword techniques.

Luo Mi was very powerful, having comprehended the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, the foundational sword technique of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Moreover, he comprehended it to a very high level, having already reached the Sixth Level.

The Ten Thousand Sword Technique has a total of Nine Levels, and for him to comprehend the true meaning of the Sixth Level at such a young age, even within the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he is considered an incredible Supreme Genius.

It seems that even Zang Jianfeng, who ranks third among the true disciples, has only comprehended the sixth level of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique.

In these days, Chu Feng has exchanged a great deal with Luo Mi, benefiting immensely.

Luo Mi guided him meticulously, with no reservations, and many personal experiences and realizations were passed on to Chu Feng without any withholding.

You should know, insights and experiences about swordsmanship are often just a sentence or two, which could take years of hard cultivation to comprehend.

After receiving the teachings, Chu Feng could avoid many detours and save a lot of time.

In these past few days, with Luo Mi’s enlightenment, he made significant breakthroughs and gained deeper insights into the third level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, the Slow Sword Technique.

Being able to comprehend the third level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill so quickly was definitely a tremendous surprise for Chu Feng.

Apart from the significant advancements in his Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, his comprehension of the Glazed Sword Technique also deepened, correcting any shortcomings or misunderstandings. In combat, the defensive capabilities of the Glazed Tile Sword Skill could definitely improve by more than thirty percent.

As for comprehending the fifth level of the Glazed Sword Technique, it still requires time to temper and wait for the right opportunity.

Now, with the Supreme Sword Skill and the Heavenly Divine Weapon in hand, there are only two things that are urgently needed.

One is the Nine Yang Sword Veins, and the other is the secret book of the Asura Sword Control Skill from the third level of the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Control Technique is of great use; acquiring it could greatly enhance Chu Feng’s combat ability.

Unfortunately, that secret book requires a significant amount of merit to exchange for.

...

Chu Feng and Luo Mi entered the Alchemy Room together and after paying respects to Elder Shoumei, they both looked at him joyfully. It was because their master’s strength had been preserved, and he was still at the late stage of Sword Saint.

According to the original situation, not only was the late stage of Sword Saint at risk, but even maintaining the early stage of Sword Saint would have been doubtful.

"Chu Feng, my ability to preserve my cultivation and live longer this time is all thanks to you."

"I know you bear a deep hatred washed in a sea of blood. After the sect competition, as soon as I’ve arranged things for your fellow disciples, I will accompany you to the Jianyun Dynasty myself. I will undoubtedly seek justice for your Sword King Mansion’s wrongful accusations and help you retake the Nine Yang Sword Veins with all my might."

When Elder Shoumei said this, he was prepared to face death.

"Thank you for your kind thoughts, Master. If I can take my revenge through my own efforts, that would be best. Only if I truly lack the ability and opportunity would I ask for Master’s help," Chu Feng said, his face filled with gratitude.

To take revenge with another’s hand always feels somewhat lacking. This is also not in Chu Feng’s nature.

"Good, a man should have pride and ambition! I am only giving you a backup plan. If you can take your revenge by yourself, that is for the best." Elder Shoumei gave Chu Feng a big thumbs up, lavishing praise.

This little disciple excels in all aspects, with the only flaw being the lack of sword meridians.

Just then, loud and rampant laughter came from the outside, filled with self-satisfaction and schadenfreude.

"Elder Shoumei, are you still alive? Today is the annual grand event of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the day of the sect competition. The other elders have sent me to check if you can still move?"

"If you haven’t breathed your last, then bring those good-for-nothing disciples of yours to the Asking Sword Platform at the sect! At that time, I guarantee your last breath will be smoothly cut off!"

Elder Yang spat out words that were not only kicking someone when they were down but also extremely malicious.

"The sect competition is critically important! Let’s go, follow me to the Asking Sword Platform!"

"Before that, let’s go to the Law Enforcement Hall and rescue that simpleton Liu Dazhuang first!"

Having fully recovered his cultivation and with only ten years of life remaining, Elder Shoumei had come to terms with many things and possessed a fearless resolve to face death head-on.
