The Great Wild God - Chapter 270
Chapter 270 Throw Another Shot at Ta Feng
“Ah” Xia Xiangyi stood there dumbfounded. He didn’t dare to doubt the sect master’s words, but he couldn’t digest such a fact no matter what.
Great Freedom Sword Intent?
The Great Freedom Sword at the head of the Thousand Swords!
It can’t be?
Sword intent was Dao intent, the true meaning of Dao.
Amongst the direct disciples, he, Zhao Chengen, and the others were all standing at the peak of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, but they had almost failed to reach perfection, so they did not comprehend the true meaning of the Dao!
It can’t be? Chen Xun was only at the Reincarnation Realm. How could he be so heaven-defying? How could he have grasped the true meaning of the Dao!
However, looking at Chang Xi, Zhao Cheng’en’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile. Xia Xiangyi felt as if she had been drenched in cold water. She thought to herself that they must have known this fact long ago and had been waiting here to see his jokes.
The words of the Sect Leader earlier seemed to comfort Xia Xiangyi, but that sigh made her heart turn deathly gloomy.
From the Sect Leader’s sigh, he clearly realized that the Sect Leader was extremely disappointed in him. He didn’t know what to say when he stood there, nor did he dare to look at his Master, Daoist Master Gu Yang.
Hu Taiyan and Luo Jun were both incredulous. They were surprised and asked, “Chen Xunzhen comprehended the Great Freedom Sword Intent in front of the Thousand Swords Sect’s mountain gate?”
“Unless Daoist Ji lied to me last time.” Daoist Guo also smiled innocently.
Chen Xun was also a little stupid. He really intended to use the Great Freedom Sword Intent to resist Xia Xiangyi’s doubts, but he didn’t expect that Ji Lie would have already told Sect Leader Guo about this matter. Alright, he didn’t need to make up any lies. He didn’t need to worry that his lies would be exposed in the future, and he would be accused of bullying his master and annihilating his ancestors.
Hu Taiyan couldn’t help but shake his head. “Of course, what Daoist Ji said is true.” Today’s incident really surprised him. He smiled and said, “Apart from True Monarch Tao Jinghong of the Dragon Gate Sect, I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone who managed to comprehend the Great Freedom Sword Intent before the Thousand Sword Sect. It’s hard to believe.”
After saying this, Hu Taiyan still looked at Chen Xun with incredulous eyes.
Hu Taiyan had already cultivated his Origin Pill, and his gaze was like lightning. Ordinary Reincarnation Realm disciples could see through it with a single glance in front of his eyes. Of course, as a division commander, he would not casually take care of the cultivation base of the sect disciples. At this moment, it was purely to arouse curiosity.
Hu Taiyan didn’t have much contact with Chen Xun, but he was deeply impressed by the scene of Chen Xun using the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow to suppress Wei Clan’s Sect Son, Wei Che, at the Mount Meng Sect’s Mountain Opening Ceremony.
Even so, Hu Taiyan did not take Chen Xun to heart.
There were 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers in the northwest region, and there were more than a billion people. There were as many talented and heroic as carps that crossed the river, and quite a few of them were gathered under the Divine Night Sect.
Needless to say, even a thousand plus inner sect disciples could casually pick a person who possessed the aptitude of a middle or late embryo restoration realm, and even a person with the aptitude of a Nine Spiritual Meridian might not be able to choose one out of a million people.
At this moment, Hu Taiyan was truly shocked.
The Dao also has the Great Dao, the small Dao is different, the sword also has the strong sword, the weak sword.
The Great Freedom Sword Technique was the leader of the Thousand Swords Sect. It could even be said that in the Northwest Region, the Great Freedom Sword Technique was incomparably stronger than the Great Freedom Sword Technique.
Back then, the fourth generation ancestor of the Thousand Sword Sect was only one step away from reaching Nirvana with a single Great Freedom Sword.
In his early years, Tao Jinghong was also unknown in the Dragon Gate Sect, but in the Thousand Sword Sect, he had comprehended the Great Freedom Sword Intent, and was the first person to rise to prominence in Yunzhou in nearly a thousand years.
The Thousand Sword Sect had already been shattered. Ji Lie sat in the mountain gate for ten years, comprehending the Great Freedom Sword Intent. In twenty years, he had cultivated the Origin Core. Not only did he reconstruct the Thousand Sword Sect, he was also known as the number one Origin Core warrior in the Northwest Region with the Great Freedom Sword.
Hu Taiyan looked at Chen Xun seriously. His eyes were like lightning, wanting to pierce into Chen Xun’s pupils. He seemed to be able to see the strange appearance of the Black Ice Fire Lake formed by Chen Xun’s Spiritual Sea. However, he still wanted to look deeper, but there was a layer of yellow divine light covering him, and he could no longer see the slightest bit of reality.
“Tsk tsk,” Hu Taiyan smacked his lips and said, “If it weren’t for Elder Brother Headmaster’s words, I wouldn’t have seen anything strange. Why didn’t Elder Brother Headmaster tell us earlier?”
Chen Xun was also depressed. He thought to himself, since the headmaster had long since learned from Ji Lie that he had comprehended the Great Freedom Sword Intent, why had he never mentioned it to anyone? If he had been listed as a seed contestant, he would have suffered less in the past few years.
Luo Jun was also puzzled. Chen Xun’s cultivation was so low that the sect didn’t give him special protection. If he died outside, would the Divine Night Sect lose a good seedling?
“Chen Xun is a man of great fortune, but he needs to be tempered even more if he has the fortune,” Sect Leader Guo said with an unfathomable expression. “If I hadn’t kept it a secret, how would we have known that the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect would have returned to Cloud Continent in 4,000 years?”
Hu Taiyan and Luo Jun thought about what their senior teacher had said and felt that it made sense. Since ancient times, those with outstanding aptitude and mediocre inaction, such as the carp that crossed the river, had been protected too much and lacked tempering.
Daoist Gu Yang seemed to be deep in thought, as if this piece of news had no effect on him at all.
Hu Taiyan remembered something and asked Chen Xun, “You have already reached the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. How many spiritual veins have you created?”
When Hu Taiyan sized it up just now, Chen Xun could sense it in his spiritual sea. He didn’t expect that Hu Taiyan would still be unable to see through his spiritual meridians. He felt more or less confident in his heart. He reported back, “It just so happened that he had reached the limit.”
“Only nine spiritual veins.” Hu Taiyan said regretfully.
To be able to comprehend Dao Insight before the age of thirty, one’s comprehension ability could be said to be rare in a thousand years, but one’s bone root aptitude was slightly inferior.
Hu Taiyan felt extremely regretful in his heart. How could he not be a little more perfect when he was secretly touching?
“Nine is the extreme number, and twelve is also the extreme number.” Sect Leader Guo smiled.
“Heavenly Classic Opening, even the root bone is no worse than Fang Xiaohan!” Hu Taiyan sucked in a breath of cold air, but when he said this, he couldn’t help but look up at Chang Xi.
Hu Taiyan’s movements were very unintentional, and he raised his gaze slightly. However, Chen Xun felt that it was very strange when he saw Chang Xi. He thought that Chang Xi’s talent must be extremely monstrous. Chang Zhen also said that Chang Xi’s sword from the Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation had Dao Insight. Speaking of which, Chang Xi’s talent should not be inferior to him.
How could Hu Taiyan be so shocked by his talent? Compared to Fang Xiaohan, he deliberately avoided Chang Xi’s talent instead?
Seeing Zhao Cheng’en and Xia Xiangyi’s expression, it seemed that they did not know that Chang Xi’s talent was heaven-defying?
Could it be that even Zhao Chengen and Xia Xiangyi were unaware of some secrets about Chang Xi’s background?
Xia Xiangyi stood there dumbfounded. Seeing Chen Xun’s seemingly respectful expression, his face was incomparably cold. His heart was filled with bitterness. He had comprehended Dao Insight and possessed the aptitude of all twelve Spiritual Meridians. How could he compare to Chen Xun?
Seeing Hu Taiyan and Luo Jun treating Chen Xun as a treasure, Xia Xiangyi was filled with disappointment.
Daoist Luo Jun said, “Since Chen Xun has already purified the twelve Spiritual Veins and comprehended the Great Freedom Sword Intent, sooner or later, he should be classified as a direct disciple. And there are many conflicts between him and Xia Xiangyi. If he continues to stay at Gu Yangfeng’s cultivation, it will probably be an obstacle to his cultivation in the Dao Heart …”
Hearing this, Xia Xiangyi’s heart skipped a beat. All of the outstanding disciples and Zhu Feng were fighting with all their might. Chen Xun had left Gu Yangfeng for his sake and invested in his peak cultivation. What would Master think in his heart?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiangyi did not dare to look at Master Gu Yang’s face that was as dark as winter water.
Hu Taiyan seized the opportunity to say, “Chen Xunwu has grand carefree sword intent and is skilled in artifact forging and puppet arts. I feel that it would be more appropriate to cultivate under Brother Headmaster.”
Hearing Daoist Luo Jun and Daoist Hu Taiyan sing together, Chen Xun understood why Daoist Guo hadn’t revealed his comprehension of the Great Freedom Sword Intent in the past.
In the end, he didn’t want him to stay in Gu Yangfeng to cultivate.
In the beginning, he was “forcefully pulled” into the Divine Night Sect by Chang Xi, and Daoist Guo could not forcefully pull him to the Purple Night Peak in the name of the sect leader.
Now that he and Xia Xiangyi had fallen out, and Adept Gu Yang had prejudices against him, he didn’t dare to stay in Gu Yangfeng and wear small shoes even if he had the guts to do so. If he had the chance, he would naturally jump out of Gu Yangfeng.
This was the trap Daoist Guo had set up for him and Daoist Gu Yang.
Damn it, Chen Xun didn’t expect that a group of Origin Core and Dharma Realm experts from the Divine Night Sect would be so scheming.
Seeing that Daoist Gu Yang hadn’t spoken for a long time, Chen Xun thought to himself that he had long recognized the sect master’s scheming. In such a passive situation, he couldn’t refute it, could he?
Luo Jun and Hu Taiyan chortled together. Sect Leader Guo merely shook his head with a smile and said, “Whom are you willing to cultivate under? You still have to ask Chen Xun for his own opinion. Whether this opportunity is profound or not …”
Chen Xun wasn’t stupid. Luo Jun and Hu Taiyan had already helped him set up the Origin Core Realm. Naturally, he rolled down and immediately knelt on the ground. He said loudly, “Chen Xun is willing to lead the sect and cultivate.”
Although Daoist Guo, as the sect leader, had to use such deep scheming to deal with Daoist Gu Yang, which meant that Daoist Gu Yang was indeed a formidable figure in the Divine Night Sect, and the other Fang Xiaohan under the sect leader was also not an arrogant and easy-to-get-along person, for Chen Xun, becoming a direct disciple of Daoist Gu Yang was undoubtedly the best choice.
“Congratulations to senior apprentice-in-charge for obtaining another good apprentice.” Spiritual Master Gu Yang did not show any joy or anger on his face. Instead, he was the first to congratulate Spiritual Master Guo.
Sect Leader Guo nodded slightly and said to Hu Taiyan, “Since the Thousand Devil Sect’s remaining sins will return to Cloud Continent in 4,000 years, it has already been confirmed that this matter is not the responsibility of our Divine Night Sect. I will immediately rush to the Ce Tian Manor to report this matter and see how the Ce Tian Manor will react.”
In the past, the spatial rift of the Thousand Devil Realm had appeared in Tu Shan. The Divine Night Sect had the responsibility to lead the sects of the Northwest Region to defend against the devil creatures. Now that it was confirmed that the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect were causing trouble behind the scenes, the Divine Night Sect naturally would not bear the responsibility. The other six sects and the Imperial Clans had to contribute to this matter.
Chen Xun had only heard of the Ce Tian Prefecture before.
Although the Ce Tian Prefecture was small in scale, it was the strongest organization in the Xi Wu Empire that ruled Cloud Continent. Choosing disciples from the various sects required at least a peak Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivation.
As one of the seven sects of Cloud Continent, the Divine Night Sect also had quite a few disciples and elders working in the Heavenly Policy Manor. However, Lei Wanhe didn’t know who it was.
However, since God-controller Mansion had taken over this matter, Chen Xun didn’t need to worry about anything. If he gathered the power of the seven sects, he wouldn’t be able to completely deal with the monsters in the Absolute Mountain Ridge, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything no matter how hard he tried.
Sect Leader Guo put the Blood River Demonic Sword into his bag of holding and threw the Soul Essence that had locked onto the Demonic Snake Primordial Spirit back to Chen Xun, saying, “Since you are under my sect, you must abide by the sect’s laws and regulations. When I go out, you can consult Elder Hu about your cultivation …”
“Chen Xun obeys Master’s instructions.” Chen Xun said respectfully.
