Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 241 Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture

The Flame Empire was divided into two regions, north and south. The Southern Heavenly Sect was located in the south while the Spirit Beast Valley was up north. The Concealed Moon Hermitage and the Eight Trigrams Sect were both in the south.

The Bai Family Port happened to also be in the south, so Fang Chen planned to visit Concealed Moon Hermitage first, and then Southern Heavenly Sect.

Not long after Fang Chen left the Bai Family's port, a cultivator came flying on a sword. His appearance made Bai Qianqian and the others' hearts beat rapidly.

A Foundation Building Realm cultivator! Only cultivators at the Foundation Building Realm emitted such terrifying aura!

The newcomer was probably in his forties, with temples already graying. The aura emanating from him was unfathomable, and his indifferent gaze exerted immense pressure with just a casual glance.

"Are you cultivators from the Bai Family?" asked the newcomer indifferently.

Bai Qianqian quickly stepped forward to pay respects, her companions in tow. "Senior, I am Bai Qianqian from the Bai Family."

"Xue Fenggui, the Island Lord of the Green Mountain Island in the Sea Dragon Sect," said the newcomer faintly.

So he’s really a Foundation Building Realm cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect!

Everyone's expression froze. The territory of the Sea Dragon Sect was vast, covering a huge patch of the sea littered with hundreds of islands, including a main island. Green Mountain Island is one of the strongest nine islands aside from the main island. Each Island Lord had to be at the Foundation Building Realm.

It was said that the Sea Dragon Sect was about to open up a tenth island, which meant that someone was about to ascend to the Foundation Building Realm!

"I'll get straight to the point. The Young Sect Leader of the Sea Dragon Sect was attacked, and three Qi Refining Realm disciples were killed. The person who killed him docked here, didn't he? Where did he go?" Xue Fenggui asked.

Bai Qianqian quickly pointed in a direction. "Senior Xue, he went that way."

"No, that's not correct." a Bai Family cultivator suddenly shook his head, his expression grave. "That was a ruse. The direction he truly went is over there." He pointed in a completely different direction.

Then, with a flattering expression, he looked toward Xue Fenggui, "Senior Xue, I have some expertise in tracking techniques. I deliberately let my Parasite Insects follow him to see where he went."

Bai Qianqian's face darkened, and the other Bai Family cultivators were somewhat displeased, but at this moment, no one dared to show it.

Xue Fenggui's lips curled slightly upwards. "Very well, you've thought well for our Sea Dragon Sect. What's your name?"

"I am Bai Qixiang. My father is Bai Yue," replied Bai Qixiang hastily.

"Bai Yue? I remember him. One year he came to the Green Mountain Island wanting to cooperate with the Sea Dragon Sect. I rejected him at the time. Once this matter is settled, have him come to the Green Mountain Island again." Xue Fenggui nodded, then flew toward the direction pointed out by Bai Qixiang.

After he left, the dock fell into a moment of silence. Bai Qianqian remained speechless, as did the other Bai Family cultivators. Seeing this, Bai Qixiang forced a smile. "We can't offend the Sea Dragon Sect just for a cultivator whose background we don’t know, right? That cultivator can leave, but we Bai Family can't just leave."

"Bai Qixiang, I only brought you along because of your father's plea. Don’t forget that you should’ve been expelled from the Bai Family long ago over what you’ve done before. Don’t get ahead of yourself." Bai Qianqian tried her best to reign in her anger, but her voice was frosty. "Your actions may bring disaster to our Bai Family! Can you guarantee that your Parasite Insects won't be discovered by that person?"

"Bai Qixiang, what you did is really too dangerous," said the elder sternly. "Take him down and bring him back for questioning!"

Bai Qixiang suddenly became furious. "How dare you? Didn't you hear what he said? The Island Lord of the Green Mountain Island has invited my father over to discuss business afterwards. We’ll be making a huge profit after this matter is done with. We’ll also establish relations with the Sea Dragon Sect because of this! Don't forget that we have more than just this one port! Did you forget how the Huang Family and Liu Family pressured us? They teamed up to ruin our Bai Family's business. Many of the merchants who cooperated with us in the past left and hadn’t come back since. Do you want to watch as our family declines like this?"

The Bai Family cultivators looked at each other, hesitant.

Bai Qianqian narrowed her eyes slightly. "Bai Qixiang, let's call upon our ancestor to be the judge over this. If the ancestor says you haven't done wrong, then I’ll have nothing to say."

Bai Qixiang sneered. "Fine, let the ancestor be the judge!"

***

Fang Chen's lips twitched a little. "Hmm, Little Sword seems a bit off,"

He was currently in a place fifty miles away from Bai Family Port, situated in a desolate and uninhabited mountain hollow.

"Liu Mu, let’s rest here for a while," said Fang Chen as he sat down cross-legged, quietly sensing the condition within his body.

Liu Mu conscientiously took on the role of guardian, his face vigilant as he scanned around.

The fluctuation of Little Sword's aura was weird, but Fang Chen couldn't intervene, so he could only quietly observe from the sidelines. He’d occasionally ask it how it’s doing, but Little Sword wouldn’t answer at all.

Little Sword has devoured quite a few spiritual treasures in a short timeframe. The highest-graded spiritual treasure it has consumed was the giant black ship, the largest in quantity, too. It may really undergo a transformation because of this.

After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed, Little Sword's fluctuating aura gradually settled down. However, its length had grown two more inches, and countless Soul Imprints suddenly appeared on its body.

Although they appeared and disappeared quickly, Fang Chen's soul clearly saw that there were at least hundreds, if not more, of Soul Imprints flashing on it!

It seemed that Little Sword had broken through some kind of seal, and a special scripture slowly merged into Fang Chen's memory.

Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture

Fang Chen felt like his brain was about to explode. The sudden influx of memories directly pushed his original memories into the corner, and his consciousness sank into the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture.

A solitary figure stood amidst a gray world, surrounded by rolling clouds in all directions, with countless figures standing within them.

Each figure, like an unparalleled exiled immortal, exuded an infinite sense of dominance from head to toe.

The solitary figure moved, swinging his sword.

Instantly, sword intent filled the Heavens and the Earth, sweeping everything like an autumn rain!

Countless screams echoed as those unparalleled exiled immortals were annihilated under this sword, forever falling into the cycle of reincarnation!

The Heavens and the Earth were the canvas, the blood of immortals, the ink, depicting a scene of the Avici Hell!

Suddenly, that solitary figure slowly turned to look at Fang Chen, and as their eyes met, the scene shattered.

Fang Chen suddenly sprung awake, his body soaked in sweat. Liu Mu looked at him with concern. This was his first time seeing Fang Chen in such a state. It was as if he had a nightmare.

"I'm fine," Fang Chen reassured Liu Mu, then closed his eyes to recall the scene just now.

As if in slow motion, he could clearly see the fear on the faces of those unparalleled exiled immortals before they died, and then they vanished, turning into ashes....

"I never imagined that such a terrifying inheritance would be hidden in Little Sword. And now, it's in my hands...."

With a thought, Little Sword emerged from his body, gently swirling around Fang Chen's fingertips.

Little Sword had not only grown two inches, but there was also a deeper connection between it and Fang Chen now. This connection was familiar to every swordsman.

Sword cultivation; the sword came first and cultivation came second.

Now that Fang Chen had obtained the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture, he finally understood what a sword cultivation inheritance truly meant. A cultivator who chose to be a sword cultivator merged their very life into their sword. If the sword cultivator ceased to exist, their sword followed suit. When the sword was destroyed, so was the cultivator. There would no longer be a distinction between them.

From here on out, every stroke of the sword carried the effect of “Sword Breaks Myriad Laws.”

A bitter smile appeared on Fang Chen's face. "I didn’t even have a say in whether I wanted to accept the inheritance or not... Oh, well, although sword cultivation is a bit more dangerous, its benefits are very clear. Heaven is fair; it cursed sword cultivators with such a fatal vulnerability, but it also blessed them with unparalleled offensive power."

Because of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture, he had laid the foundation for his entry into sword cultivation with Little Sword.

Their lives would be tied together from this day on.
