The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 240

Chapter 240 First Hall Master

“That’s right, I am the fourth generation Hall Master of the Yin Yang Hall. How dare you ignore me? Could it be that you are disrespectful to me?”

Li Qing hurriedly explained, “When I saw that the first few spirit tablets were untested, I thought that all of them were like this, so I directly passed by without paying attention to Senior. Senior, you don’t have a physical body, so why are you still able to come out?”

“This is simple. Before I die, I left behind a surge of strength in this spirit card. Alright, let’s not talk too much nonsense. I don’t have much strength left. Let’s start the test now.” Light Shadow said.

“I’m ready! I wonder how Senior is going to test me!” Li Qing’s spirits lifted.

“You’ll know soon. Take the move!” As soon as he finished speaking, he saw this light figure flash like a wave of water. Then, Li Qing suddenly felt a stinging pain in his mind.

‘”Ah–” Li Qing covered his head and screamed miserably, his face as pale as paper.

This was a mental attack!

Unprepared, Li Qing did not think of how to defend himself. This kind of attack was too strange. He had never encountered a direct attack on a person’s mind.

If he hadn’t cultivated a mental secret technique, then he could only rely on his soul to forcefully withstand it. Luckily, Li Qing had a huge amount of soul power in his mind. Although these soul powers could not be used on their own initiative, there was no problem in defending against external attacks.

As a result, this mental attack only made Li Qing suffer for a while, and he was quickly drowned in the ocean of his soul. His mind was no longer in pain and he quickly recovered.

“Yi, you’re a little mysterious. You actually managed to easily block this mental attack of mine!” Light and shadow were somewhat surprised, unable to figure out what exactly was going on.

Normally speaking, such a Xiantian-level young man had never cultivated a mental secret technique. Even if he could withstand this mental attack, it would not be so easy.

“It’s just a fluke! Perhaps my will is more firm.” Li Qing said perfunctorily. Of course, he would not tell the other party that he possessed a huge amount of soul power.

“Forget it, I won’t care about your secrets. Since you’ve blocked my mental attack, then you can pass and obtain my approval. Kid, you can go in.”

“Thank you, Senior!” After saying that, Li Qing immediately walked inside.

This figure looked at Li Qing’s disappearing back and muttered, “True essence is deep, body is strong, soul is also so tough. This is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful genius. Forget it, no matter how powerful a genius is, if he can’t cultivate to a higher realm, he’s just a nobody.” After saying that, he flew straight into the spirit tablet.

Dao Realm experts would not care about these so-called geniuses. They had seen many of them, but in the end, very few of them were able to reach a higher realm. There were often geniuses in this world, but not Dao Realm experts.

…

The third generation hall master was also a spirit tablet, quietly placing it in front of him. Li Qing did not act rashly this time. He first waited there for a while, and when no Hall Master’s heroic spirit came out, he knew that there was no test. Then, he walked over.

After walking a distance, there was the second generation of hall masters in front of him. What appeared in front of him was a statue. It was actually a woman.

As Li Qing approached, the statue quickly split apart, and the lime on its surface fell off one after another. Then, a middle-aged woman wearing a Taoist robe walked out.

“Greetings, Senior!” Li Qing bowed respectfully.

‘”Yes, that’s right. You have already obtained the approval of the previous Palace Masters. You must be an outstanding person. Such inheritors are rare, and I won’t make things difficult for you anymore.”

After saying that, the middle-aged woman smiled faintly and stretched out her hand to draw a circle in the air. The Yin and Yang energies immediately converged into a pattern of Yin and Yang fish.

“The pattern of this Yin Yang Fish is the Grand Dao Laws that I have comprehended. Now, I will show it to you. If you can comprehend something from it, then I will let you pass.”

“The Laws of the Great Dao! It’s actually such a profound thing!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly raised his head to look at the Yin Yang Fish pattern in the air.

It looked somewhat ordinary and exuded an ancient Dao charm. On the surface, it seemed to be similar to other Yin Yang diagrams. However, if one carefully sensed it, they would be able to faintly sense traces of Dao power contained within it, as if they were faintly discerning it.

Originally, such a high-end strength was impossible for a Xiantian expert to comprehend. However, the middle-aged woman showed Li Qing the mysteries within, giving him a chance to experience them deeply.

Li Qing’s eyes widened as he looked at the Yin Yang Fish pattern. He carefully sensed the Dao inside and unknowingly became intoxicated. After an unknown amount of time, Li Qing suddenly closed his eyes and did not look at the pattern again. He did not move at all.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and whispered to himself, “What a miraculous power!”

“How is it? Have you comprehended anything?” The middle-aged woman asked.

Li Qing did not reply. He slowly opened his arms. Then, his hands began to rotate clockwise and drew a circle. He saw countless Yin Yang Qi gathered around him, forming a huge Yin Yang Fish. It was actually similar to the Yin Yang Fish formed by the middle-aged woman.

“That’s right. To be able to comprehend so many things in such a short period of time, to be able to control the Qi of Yin and Yang, your perception is really very high.” The middle-aged woman praised him repeatedly.

“You have my approval. Go in.” After saying that, she walked back to her original spot and turned into a statue again.

“Thank you!” Li Qing paid his respects to the statue. Although this was a test, he had also comprehended a trace of the power of the Yin Yang Laws. This laid a solid foundation for comprehending the unity of heaven and man in the future.

It was a rare opportunity for a Dao Realm expert to show him the Laws of the Great Dao. Unfortunately, it was only once.

…

After passing this second-generation Hall Master’s test, there was only one Hall Master left in front of him. He did not know what the final test would be.

Very quickly, a statue appeared in front of him. It must be the first generation hall master.

Just as he walked forward, the statue automatically turned into a middle-aged Taoist. He said to Li Qing, “Very good, young man, you are already an outstanding genius.”

Li Qing saluted and said, “Greetings, Palace Master. I wonder how I can get your approval?”

“Anyone I like will be recognized by me.” The first generation hall master smiled.

“Ah? How pleasing?” Li Qing was a little dumbfounded. There was such a strange way? Isn’t this too much of a joke?

‘”Before that, let me ask you a question. If you obtain the inheritance of our Yin Yang Palace and your strength is greatly enhanced, will you go to the kuangji, slay the demons and eliminate the devils, or will you be at ease and become a great devil that will bring calamity to the world?”

Li Qing hesitated in his heart and carefully said, “Is there any other choice? I don’t want to do either.”

“Oh?” The middle-aged man was very interested and asked, “Then tell me what you are going to do.”

‘”I’m not thinking too much. I just want to find my beloved woman and take revenge on her. As for going to Restore the country and become a righteous person… I don’t have any plans at the moment. I think it’s even more impossible to be a great devil.”

“Mm, you’re very honest. You didn’t lie to me. If you lied to me and chose one against your heart, I can see it.” The middle-aged man nodded in approval.

Li Qing was slightly shocked. He didn’t expect the middle-aged man to be testing his honesty. He almost said. If he had chosen something that he didn’t want to do against his heart, he might not have gotten the middle-aged man’s approval.

“Actually, it’s not wrong for you not to choose these two paths. If you really go to support the country or become a devil, you will definitely die quickly, which is not conducive to the development of our Yin Yang Palace’s inheritance.”

“Fortunately, I’m not lying. Otherwise, I won’t be able to obtain the inheritance, and all my previous efforts will be wasted.” Li Qing smiled bitterly.

“That’s not necessarily the case. Although I will definitely find you unpleasing, it is not easy for me to think that you have come to this point. I might give you a few cultivation techniques and send you away.”

“That’s why.”

“A few thousand years ago, there was a person who passed many tests and came to me. I could tell that this person was very demonic and was not a good person. However, he actually chose to go to Kuangji. He was clearly lying with his eyes open. Therefore, I casually gave him a few secret manuals and let him leave.”

“Thousands of years ago … Could it be the Yin Yang Demon Emperor?” Thinking of this, Li Qing secretly laughed in his heart. The person you casually sent became the famous Yin Yang Demon Emperor.

“What’s the matter?” The First Hall Master couldn’t help but ask when he saw Li Qing’s strange expression.

“Nothing.” Of course, Li Qing could not tell him the truth.

“I like you very much now. You have passed the test. Since you have obtained the approval of many hall masters, I will hand over the inheritance of the Yin Yang Hall to you.”

The Yin Yang Palace Master took out a book and said, “This is the Yin Yang Scripture. It is the core technique of our Yin Yang Palace. I will now officially pass it on to you.”

“Yin Yang Sutra!” Li Qing received it with a serious expression.

“Actually, I don’t have any requirements for you. I just hope that you will become stronger in the future and be able to carry it forward. In fact, you will even be able to establish a sect and become a grandmaster.” A trace of sorrow appeared on the face of the first generation Palace Master, “… so that the inheritance of my Yin Yang Palace will not be cut off!”

“Thank you, Hall Master! I will definitely carry it forward!” Li Qing said seriously.
