Vol.3-Chapter 2 – Getting Ready for Training

“Okay, since we know the whole situation and all the disciples are fine, let us talk about the important matter,” Daoist Fu Qing said with a gloomy expression, interrupting all the voices of discussion. Jiulian and company looked at Zhao Jiuge with envy. Just from Ling Bo Re’s words, they could feel how exciting the trip was.

The elite disciples from the other holy lands all had different expressions, but they felt admiration toward them for being able to kill an evil Soul Formation Realm cultivator at this stage.

“It’s good that it's time for the various disciples of the holy lands to go out to train. During this training trip, you all must focus on exterminating evil cultivators, or else they will run more and more rampant.

“The second matter is the Battle Competition in two years. It won’t just be us seven holy lands who will participate—the rest of the sects will send people to attend as well. We all know that the ranking is important to the holy lands. Although the seven of us have occupied the spots for a long time, if we aren’t careful, we may lose our titles. I hope everyone takes advantage of these two years to prepare.”

The moment Daoist Fu Qing spoke, Yuan Yixiu and Hua Lingsu looked at Jian Wuxian’s expression.

Song Chucai and his disciple had the same expression—they were enjoying other people’s misery. Although the Mysterious Heaven Sword had displayed strength that surprised them, that was it. The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect’s foundation might not be bad, but the combination of their three holy lands also wasn’t bad.

Everyone that understood knew that Daoist Fu Qing was talking about the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. They could all see the Ten Thousand Dao Sect’s ambition, and they weren’t even trying to hide it anymore. It was clear that they were planning to make a move against the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect.

Everyone’s gazes gathered on the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect’s group.

“Wait and see.”

Jian Wuxian faintly smiled in response to this silent provocation, and his words contained almost no emotion. He wasn’t angry and didn’t argue; his voice was like the spring breeze.

“That’s good. Since there is nothing else, we’ll take our leave. Let’s all meet again during the Battle Competition.”

Daoist Fu Qing had his hands behind his back and a smile that gave off an inexplicable feeling.

Jian Wuxian no longer said anything and prepared to leave with everyone. Before he left, he meaningfully looked at Hua Lingsu.

Other people watched Jian Wuxian and company leave. They all thought about the Battle Competition in two years and how much of a blood bath it would be. The infighting between the holy lands was no less dangerous than when they exterminated evil cultivators.

From the current situation, the Great Barbarian Sect, Yue Hua Academy, and the Ten Thousand Dao Sect were set on dealing with the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect together. The Hundred Flower Valley and the Void Suspension Monastery remained silent, while the Nameless Temple never participated in these matters. This Battle Competition would be a delicate situation. A holy land may lose its place and another sect might gain the title instead!

Daoist Fu Qing narrowed his eyes and watched Jian Wuxian’s group leave with a lightly vicious gaze. It was only after they all left that he withdrew his gaze.

The next Battle Competition was destined to be very exciting.

When they arrived, it was 10 people blade soaring, and now it was the same 10 people blade soaring away!

“Jiuge, are you fine?”

Zhao Jiuge looked like he was struggling a bit. He had just recovered from a serious injury, so his face was a bit pale, worrying Jian Wuxian.

Zhao Jiuge gently shook his head. He smiled and said, “Teacher, I’m fine. Let us go back quickly.”

“I can see that you’re fine. Even though there was a problem, I’m afraid you willingly accepted it. Very good, you even learned to play the hero to save the beauty from your teacher.”

On the side, Elder Xu Jiahui flew beside Zhao Jiuge and laughed.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly felt rather embarrassed.

Jian Wuxian suddenly interjected, “After you have prepared for your training, we’ll head to the Hundred Flower Valley to propose your marriage. Then you will begin your training immediately after. The young must leave and become independent. They can’t always be sheltered by us old fellows.”

Zhao Jiuge was startled and the sword under him shook a few times. After hearing the words “marriage proposal,” he almost forgot about his training.

“Marriage proposal?” Zhao Jiuge was shocked.

“That’s right. Since you like that little girl, we’ll help you. While us old fellows still have some face, we'll go to the Hundred Flower Valley to help you propose.”

Elder Xu Jiahui narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Even Elder Dawn Wind couldn’t help but add in, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll just make another trip.” Given his identity, Elder Dawn Wind’s willingness to personally take a trip showed how much he cared about Zhao Jiuge. As a Mahayana Realm cultivator, he could even ignore Jian Wuxian’s matter.

Zhao Jiuge flew with Jian Wuxian, Xu Jiahui, and Elder Dawn Wind, while Jiulian and others flew with the other two elders. Zhao Jiuge led the flock and was ever so dazzling before the elders.

Zhao Jiuge didn’t answer but instead had a sweet smile while he thought about Ling Bo Re.

“Jiuge, we can joke, but there is one thing you must remember. You have an idea of the grievances between the holy lands, and the top disciple of the Nameless Temple will naturally not be weak, presumably also at the Nascent Soul Realm. You have the weakest cultivation, and the other holy lands have ill intent in the upcoming Battle Competition. During your training, you must reach the Nascent Soul Realm and then lead the sect to glory. As long as you can reach the Nascent Soul Realm, with your grade-8 spirit core, you won’t be any weaker than the geniuses of the other holy lands.”

Xua Jiahui suddenly became serious.

Hearing this, Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but feel his blood boil and nod heavily. At the same time, he began looking forward to his training even more!

It was Jian Wuxian who waved his hand. He didn’t agree with Elder Xu Jiahui’s words.

“A breakthrough in cultivation can’t be forced. I don’t need you to have high cultivation, but you must not lose your way. Otherwise, even if you have high cultivation, what’s the use if you do things that go against heaven's law?”

Zhao Jiuge was a bit confused and nodded while not fully understanding.

After taking a look at Zhao Jiuge, Jian Wuxian slowly said, “You don’t have to feel too much pressure during this training. Don't force yourself, and gain knowledge. As long as you don’t do something you can’t live with, it’s fine.”

After he finished speaking, Jian Wuxian’s eyes shined. He knew the situation the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect was in very well. While the overall strength and foundation of the sect didn’t lose to any of the other holy lands, they hadn’t had anyone outstanding in the last hundred years. Even though they had Sha Sha, she was too young and would be kept as an ace.

After a few days, everyone returned to the sect, and naturally the disciples of the sect greeted them.

Jiulian and company spread news of what happened throughout the sect. All the disciples couldn’t help but feel their blood boil. They were waiting for the Battle Competition that would happen in two years.

However, none of these things had anything to do with Zhao Jiuge. The moment they returned, Jian Wuxian took Zhao Jiuge back to the Mysterious Heaven Temple.

They were the only two people inside the magnificent hall. Zhao Jiuge was sitting down on the mat, while Jian Wuxian was walking back and forth.

Jian Wuxian suddenly said, “Jiuge, rest tomorrow. The day after, we’ll head to the Hundred Flower Valley. After that, you will go straight to your training. Before you leave, I’ll teach you the rest of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Art. You can also prepare other things you might need.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Jiuge agreed happily. Although he had only comprehended the third layer, as his comprehension improved, so would its power. When he first learned the sword art, he felt his heart itch and wanted to learn all seven layers at once, but he was reprimanded by his eldest senior sister.

A ray of white light suddenly appeared and Jian Wuxian flicked it toward Zhao Jiuge. Zhao Jiuge quickly raised his hand to catch it.

It was cool to the touch, and after the light disappeared, it was revealed to be a jade tube. Even though Jian Wuxian was right there, Zhao Jiuge couldn’t wait and looked at the latter four layers.

The fourth layer, Twilight Cloud:

Colorful Boat, Indifferent Cloud

Thin Mist, Thick Cloud

Delicate Cloud Handled Skillfully

Receive the Heavenly Cloud Wave

Sunset Cloud, Mist Willow

Slating Splendor and Affection

Harmoniously Matching Sunset Clouds

The fifth layer, Elegy:

Inviting the Sorrowful Wind

Play the Plum Flute in Complaint

Worried Frost Cover the Earth

Building the Elegy Strike

Frost Wave Rolls the Snow

Sorrow and Hatred, Mutual Extension

Thousand Kilometers of Whisker Frost

The sixth layer, Flowing Water:

Peach Blossom, Flowering Water

Gather Ten Thousands, Leave Thousands

Apricot Flower, Spare Reflection

Goose Arrives, Book Complete

Coiled Flower Easily Binded

Cold Mist, Waning Grass

Orchid Embers, Hidden Sight

The seventh layer, Crossing Passion:

Gathered in One Mind

Sprinkle High Proof Wine

Soul Mate, String Snaps

Intoxicating in Coveting Happiness

Lonely Light Shines Alone

Conferred King for Ten Thousand Kilometers

Sealed River, Dream Ends

Combined with the first layer, Elucidation; the second layer, Autumn Wind; and the third layer, Star Moon, there were a total of seven layers.

Zhao Jiuge was completely immersed in the sword art, and Jian Wuxian just silently waited for him.

After he noticed that Zhao Jiuge had finished browsing it, he slowly said, “After you're done reading, head to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some spells and pills. Training outside is different from inside the sect, it's best if you’re fully prepared.”

Zhao Jiuge silently listened and noticed that his teacher was no longer nagging him. He seriously looked up at his teacher.

Jian Wuxian’s expression seemed a bit nervous and he was deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about, and after a long time, he said, “Jiuge, although you are the last disciple I will take and I haven’t spent as much time with you as your seniors, that doesn’t mean my love for you is any less. Although you will be going out to train as the Chief Head Disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect and there many things you have to worry about, I want to tell you not to worry too much about things. No matter what happens, your life is the most important thing. If you’re bullied, you can come back home to the sect and Teacher will get justice for you. No matter what, this sect is your home.”

These words moved Zhao Jiuge greatly. He had never seen his teacher talk this much at once.

Zhao Jiuge was choking up a bit. From young, Zhao Jiuge had to face the harshness of the world, so he didn’t know what to do after hearing his teacher’s sudden words. After all, back in the village, the villagers often bullied him or judged him with their gazes.

“Teacher… I…”

Zhao Jiuge just wanted to speak but was immediately interrupted by Jian Wuxian, who waved his hand to stop him.

“Go prepare your matters first. The day after tomorrow, we’ll head out to the Hundred Flower Valley to propose your marriage.”

Zhao Jiuge’s lips moved, but he didn’t speak anymore. He obediently nodded and left the Mysterious Heaven Temple with all the emotions he carried in his heart.

Jian Wuxian was left alone with his hands behind his back while he watched Zhao Jiuge leave.

Zhao Jiuge went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some necessary consumables so he could be prepared to train in the outside world!
