Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 371: Refining the Divine Sword

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Refining the Divine Sword

"The journey ahead, I’m afraid we’ll have to part ways."

Brother Shen gazed at the dense jungle before him.

Even in today’s society, Qionghai still has many tropical jungles untouched by humans, with all sorts of dangers one can easily imagine.

Shen Siyuan came out for immortal cultivation, and it was impossible for him to keep dragging Huang Yuntao along like a burden.

"Is there really no other way?" Huang Yuntao almost pleaded.

Shen Siyuan naturally understood what he meant.

He shook his head slightly and countered, "You’re so young and have so much money to squander; where does it all come from?"

Huang Yuntao was briefly taken aback, but honestly replied, "Naturally, it’s from my dad."

"So you’re saying, you’ve had these since birth?"

Huang Yuntao nodded.

"The principle of cultivation is the same; nowadays, the world is devoid of Spiritual Energy, not suitable for cultivation. Some special abilities are inherited through bloodlines, one is born with them, they can’t be forced," explained Shen Siyuan.

Hearing this, Huang Yuntao was profoundly disappointed.

However, he had a good psychological resilience and soon snapped back, asking hopefully, "Does Brother Shen have any sisters?"

→_→, Are you looking to fart?

"No, I’m an only child," Shen Siyuan said expressionlessly.

"I have one," Huang Yuntao immediately said.

"My sister is very pretty; I can introduce her to you," insisted Huang Yuntao.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Sisters work too, I can ask her to divorce; she has a daughter too, also very cute..." He turned his gaze to Duoduo and Dou Dou.

"Get lost."

"Just kidding, just kidding, Brother Shen, can I get your contact details?" Huang Yuntao pleaded with his hands clasped together.

Shen Siyuan thought for a moment, then took out his phone.

"Then let’s add each other on WeChat."

Huang Yuntao was on his way back to Coconut City, and Shen Siyuan remembered that Xu Shilong’s parents were also in Coconut City. He would definitely need to visit Coconut City, so exchanging contact information might come in handy.

But then he saw Huang Yuntao’s mouth agape in shock, prompting Shen Siyuan to ask in puzzlement, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

Huang Yuntao quickly took out his phone, ready to scan Shen Siyuan’s WeChat QR code.

Then he saw Shen Siyuan’s phone wallpaper - a very pretty woman.

"Who is this?" he asked casually.

"My girlfriend," Shen Siyuan replied.

Huang Yuntao: ???

He felt as though his world view was shattered; he had assumed Shen Siyuan would communicate with something like psychic transmission or sending messages with flying cranes, not pulling out a phone.

Even more unexpected was that Shen Siyuan had a girlfriend, and such a young, pretty one at that.

These two things completely contradicted the image of a grand master he had in his mind.

"Alright, we’ll be in touch."

Once WeChat was added, Shen Siyuan promptly put away his phone and walked away without looking back.

"Hey..."

"Something else?" Shen Siyuan turned his head back, puzzled.

"No... no problem, have a safe journey, and let’s keep in touch." Huang Yuntao lifted his phone, showing an embarrassed smile.

Shen Siyuan waved his hand and continued on his way.

Dou Dou and Duoduo also waved their little hands.

"Goodbye, brother."

"Goodbye."

Watching Shen Siyuan’s figure disappear into the mountains and seeing Duoduo and Dou Dou turn into two gusts of Yin Wind, only then did he let out a deep sigh and turned to continue on his way.

Immortal fate, immortal fate; it isn’t just a matter of encounter, but of destined connection. Now all he could hope for was that Shen Siyuan would truly get in touch with him later.

As for the bloodline theory mentioned by Shen Siyuan, he was somewhat skeptical, yet there remained a glimmer of hope.

But whether he could practice immortal cultivation or not, meeting an immortal was still a good thing.

Everything that had happened in the past few days felt to him like a dream.

Nevertheless, this trip seemed not entirely without gains.

He felt as if he was no longer so ethereal, his body in peak condition, capable of fighting ten...

"Potato, aren’t you going to play with him?"

Dou Dou landed on a branch nearby, inquiring with a bit of curiosity.

"It’s just you who’s a chatterbox."

"I’m just asking, hehe..."

"Now, we are about to enter the forest. How convenient would it be if we bring him along?"

"That’s true, only someone as capable as me could manage." Dou Duoduo stood on the tree fork, hands on hips, a proud look on her face.

At that moment, a monkey suddenly leaped towards her face, scaring her into a shriek and falling straight off the tree, leaving Shen Siyuan speechless.

By the time she fluttered down from the tree in a panic, it dawned on her that she was now a spirit - invisible to the monkey, untouchable by the monkey.

Realizing this, Dou Dou immediately got angry: "You bad monkey."

She stood under the tree, scolding the little monkey in a rapid chatter.

Just then, the monkeys on the branches screamed in fright, tumbling down from the tree, prompting Dou Dou to hurriedly dodge to the side.

"Ha ha ha..." Duoduo stood on the branch, hands on her waist, laughing triumphantly.

Turned out, she had stealthily flown beside the little monkey and suddenly revealed herself, startling it so badly that it fell from the tree.

Dou Dou was lucky to dodge quickly, or else she might have been squashed by a "monkey."

Shen Siyuan shook his head and, paying no mind to them, continued to venture deeper.

Since entering this forest, he could feel the abundant Wood Qi in the air, and as he breathed in and out, it entered his body, even his skin seemed to start turning a faint green...

"Hey, where is Potato?"

After their frolic, the two little spirits regathered their wits, only to find that Shen Siyuan had disappeared. They hurriedly started searching for him.

"Potato~ where are you? Don’t run around, don’t get yourself lost, okay?"

"Brother, wait for me, let’s stick together."

...

The truth was, they couldn’t really get lost, for there is a connection between the Banner Master and the Fan Soul; even across thousands of hills and rivers, they could find each other.

When they finally found Shen Siyuan, he had stopped in a valley.

Dou Dou looked around curiously, noticing that they were surrounded on all sides, as if in a giant green bowl.

This place was actually the crater of an extinct volcano.

"You go somewhere else, don’t disturb me, but also don’t go too far. Sister Xiao Yue is probably going to come for you in the next couple of days," Shen Siyuan instructed.

"Potato, you don’t want us anymore?" Dou Dou looked on the verge of tears.

Shen Siyuan simply rapped her on the head.

"I’m seriously telling you something, did you hear me?"

"Understood."

"Alright then, go off and play," Shen Siyuan waved them away.

The vast tropical jungle was practically an adventurer’s heaven for the two little spirits, full of wondrous mysteries awaiting their exploration.

With the two little spirits gone, Shen Siyuan completely calmed his heart.

In his Sea of Consciousness, a splendid Divine Sword emerged from the depths, its radiance stealing the brightness of the midday sun above, illuminating throughout the ages. The entire world was enveloped in this resplendent glow, losing its original color.

Only strands of Merit Golden Light wandered through the air, unaffected, gathering together once again, that is the Merit Golden Light.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, the Five Elements Qi, drawn by the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism as if given life, converged towards the hilt of the sword.

The Divine Sword’s light became more and more intense, its body more and more solidified, the entire valley seemed to twist and contort. The various insects and animals all began to flee...
