Chapter 1002: Seeing Chuxue Again

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou didn’t pay much attention to those seven swords.

Instead, he was actually quite happy to see Wei Xu forge this fake God Refined Sword. With these seven swords, they would be able to increase the strength of the Common People’s Path.

If it is like what Wei Xu said, that they could go up against two to three End Realm cultivators, then that would be great.

After walking past the sword formation, in just a few dozen breaths, they were within the main hall.

When they arrived here, Zong Shou saw that there was a purple-gold sword stuck at the staircase.

This time, Zong Shou recognized it right away. It was the true God Refined Sword.

It was stuck into the Green Stone ground, its glow was slightly dim as it was filled with a deathly energy.

Zong Shou looked over at Wei Xu and Mingyu in doubt. Wei Xu said, “Senior Master Xiuguan shifted it here. He wanted to try if anyone within the Common People’s Path could be its master, this was why he stuck it here. Anyone who is a disciple of the Common People’s Path can try. However, unfortunately...”

He paused and his eyes dimmed, “During these two months, none of the 300,000 disciples were able to pull out this sword.”

Zong Shou could also hear the despair in his tone. Thus, he quietly walked to the front of the sword. He hesitated a little before he reached out and grabbed the handle.

In that instant, he felt his heart suddenly jump.

He felt like he had a blood and flesh connection with this sword, it was like they were connected by soul.

The five feet sword body felt like an extension of his arm! Energies mixed and their meridians connected.

Zong Shou was delighted! He used his strength to pull, but then he was stunned.

Since his current cultivation was already in the Intermediate Celestial Realm, and his combat strength was comparable to that of the God Realm.

His pull was similar to a thousand small Sumeru Mountains!

However, this God Refined Sword seemed to have its own roots, it was stuck right on the ground and didn’t move at all.

He tried once more and it was still the same. This proved that he had no affinity with this sword.

Actually, this was okay. It was good enough that he had the Nameless Sword.

His Nameless Sword had unlimited potential and even an End Realm couldn’t see its limit. It also had numerous growth opportunities.

There might even be a day when it exceeded this God Refined Sword and become a God Weapon. There was actually no need for him to feel dejected about this situation.

However, he felt slightly weird. When he touched it, he felt like the God Refined Sword and him were one.

It felt like the both of them fought alongside one another for dozens of years.

However, in the end, he was unable to successfully pull it out. He felt that there was something that was lacking.

He didn’t really care much, Wei Xu and Mingyu on the other hand, sighed in regret.

In the distance, there were hundreds of people who noticed the scenes here. The Common People’s Path disciples that looked over, all shook their heads, they then discussed among themselves.

“Yet another person! It seems like this God Refined Sword is destined to have no master.”

“Who is that person that the Revered One personally welcomed?”

“He’s Tanqiu. He’s said to be the top disciple in the past decades. And even exceeded Taiyuan Fairy Shui Lingbo...”

“Is his cultivation at the Celestial Realm? This person’s cultivation seemed to have just increased and his foundations aren’t stable, which is why he can’t hide his aura. He really only joined the sect for a dozen years?”

“Just over ten! Out of the Six Pinnacle Swords, only this person was really silent in the outer region, there had been no news about him at all. He had actually reached Celestial Realm without any signs!”

“He really is amazing! No wonder the Revered One personally came out!”

“Even such a person can’t be recognized by the God Refined Sword? What does it want?”

“What conditions did Ancestor Xi Zi set for it? Isn’t it a little strict?”

“What’s the point of an ownerless sword? This is also happening when our Common People’s Path is facing problems...”

People discussed and their words got more and more out of hand. Wei Xu’s expression sunk and he looked around with a sharp gaze.

It caused the area around to be spontaneously silent. The Common People’s Path disciples around all kept quiet.

Although that was the case, but there were still many people who were unhappy. It wasn’t towards the God Refined Sword, but Wei Xu.

“In terms of this calamity, it was because he was reckless, this gave rise to the huge disaster for the Common People’s Path.”

“For the tribulation of one person to drag down the entire Common People’s Path...”

At this point, Mingyu scoffed coldly, it was filled with True Qi which shocked everyone’s hearts.

Only then did everyone present kept truly silent.

The Nameless Sword continued to buzz like it was suffering from much unfairness.

Zong Shou didn’t bother and instead looked towards Wei Xu. Although his face was calm, but the majestic body became a little dispirited, he was even filled with a tragic aura.

He gave out a self-mocking scoff as he continued to walk towards the main hall, not bothering to argue with those people at all.

Mingyu also sighed and followed.

He could use his prestige to suppress them and cause them to keep quiet, but he was unable to totally shut their mouths. They won’t speak outright, but behind them, those discussions would still continue. Probably then, their words would be even worse.

Zong Shou clenched his fists. He didn’t think that the unity of the Common People’s Vast Habitat had reached such a stage...

It seems like the Taoist Faction using their strength to threaten was coming into effect.

People were just like that, they only saw Wei Xu’s mistakes that had caused this crisis for the Common People’s Path.

They didn’t bother about all his hard work in the past, what he did that contributed to their glory, or even the struggle for survival, and his work to let the Common People’s Path regain their strength step by step.

If not for him being too anxious for success this time, they might have even grown to their full strength.

If not for Wei Xu, the Common People’s Path would have been gone years ago.

However...

Zong Shou also sighed and followed behind.

This was still his mistake and he needed to take responsibility for it.

The hearts of the people were just like that. It wasn’t something that a few words and sentences could change.

Moreover, with Wei Xu’s personality, he held such actions in contempt.

To reestablish his power, he could only wait until he passed the End Realm tribulation.

He walked into the main hall and he was attracted by a person at the top.

He had white brows and white hair, however, he looked really young. He gave off a special aura which made it tough for one to forget after just a look.

He wasn’t as threatening as other End Realm experts, but he was more like a normal person who was really gentle and merciful.

This was Xiuguan!

It wasn’t the first time they met. However, the last time was just a projection from thousands of worlds away, and it was only just for a short time.

This was the first time he saw him in the flesh!

He was looking over with warm eyes, they were filled with praise and joy.

Zong Shou respectfully bowed to the few seniors, and then he found a place to sit down.

After which, he heard Xiuguan say, “You really are not bad, really talented. But your personality is even better. I’m very happy that Wei Xu helped Junior Sister Lin Xuanshuang take you as a disciple...”

At this moment, the people in the hall were all the core God Realm and above people of the sect.

Zong Shou naturally didn’t need to hide his identity anymore and sat at the tenth seat based on the positioning of the Mysterious Life Golden Book.

He was already attracting attention at first, but when Xiuguan said this, it pretty much made everyone look over.

Zong Shou wasn’t nervous at all and calmly accepted the praise. He asked, “The sect is about to be wiped out, we should go all out to fight. Why did Senior Master Xiuguan and Senior Brother Wei Xu split our forces? To leave a way out? How can our actions allow the entire sect to fully focus on the enemy? Does Senior Master Xiuguan not have confidence too?”

Everyone had a will to live. If the entire sect had to face a fight to the death, but only some could avoid it, then how would people be happy?

The people in the hall were silent as they exchanged glances with one another. Xiuguan was also stunned.

In the end, he laughed. He wasn’t annoyed by Zong Shou’s scolding, he even admitted his mistakes.

“I was wrong! Rather than fall and fight for survival like the Legalists and the Demon Sect, why not have a grand battle? The legacy breaking isn’t much of a serious matter...”

His tone was really relaxed. Wei Xu also laughed bitterly.

If the legacy was broken, how would Wei Xu have the face to meet Master Xi Zi when he died?

He didn’t say anything and took over, “Junior Brother is right! Our Common People’s Path can only fight to the death! Everyone knows that the Taoist Faction Qingxuan Taoist Lord and Taihuang Taoist Lord have returned. The Confucian Faction has their two saints, Zhu Zi and Dong Zhongsu and they are already at the Bailu Heavenly Place. The World Stepping Heaven Lord and Wushang Yuan Demon also have apparitions that appeared. Apart from the Taoist Faction that can also use two End Realm God Venerables. The Confucian Faction also has three Saint Incarnations. The Demon Sect has a World Destroying God Venerable. Just from the known End Realms alone there are twelve...”

When Zong Shou heard this, only then did he realize that the people in the hall weren’t especially waiting for him.

Before he came, they were already discussing about this matter.

Twelve End Realms, how terrifying...

He pouted and looked around at the few people sitting in front of him.

Xiuguan, Lin Xuanjing, and Lin Xuanxuan. Next were his six Senior Brothers.

He recognized Wei Xu and Mingyu. The person who was seated only below Wei Xu, the one with a white mustache, was Senior Brother Xiangming.

The one wearing a grey robe who looked cold and handsome was second Senior Brother Jishu. The one who looked really muscular like he was an ignorant martial artist was called Hanzhi.

The last person was thin and small, he looked like a fourteen-year-old child. This was his fifth Senior Brother Gushun.

The six of them were all Saint Realm Venerables and were really strong.

In the names of all six of them, they had the ‘Ri’ word in it.

As for the other Saint Realm people on the book, apart from Senior Master Lanruo who was in the same generation as Xi Zi, the rest weren’t here.

The few of them were really friendly to Zong Shou. Upon seeing Zong Shou look over to them, they all nodded as sort of a polite reply.

Zong Shou’s gaze then landed behind Lin Xuanxuan.

There was a teen who was mournfully looking at him. Her eyes were filled with huge amounts of surprise like she just wanted to directly pounce into his arms.

However, Lin Xuanxuan was using true qi to control her such that she couldn’t do that. Her face looked like she was about to tear up and cry.

Zong Shou nearly laughed out loud, he really wanted to just hug this brat and dote on her.

His Chuxue was just too cute.

However, he knew that this wasn’t the time and he could only resist the temptation.
