I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 45 - 43: A Calamity Like Nirvana Rebirth—10 Years, 30 Years, 50 Years... So Be It
[You integrated a strand of the Divine Soul of Yang Xiu from the ’Baiyujing’ of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, with the cultivation of ’Circulation Qi Collection’, comprehending the Orthodox Fist ’Fenghuo Langyan, Green Blood and Red Heart’ initiation!]
[At the cost of tearing the Orthodox-level treasure ’Green Blood and Red Heart Painting’, you leveraged the power of Yang Xiu from ’Baiyujing’ of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall to fiercely battle the Three Realms Great Demon Fiend Gu Hua, slicing one of its tails.]
[From then on, a segment of Jiaolong Tail accompanied by bloody rain fell into the ’Green Blood Red Heart Pool’, renamed ’Dragon Slayer Pool’ fifty years later.]
[Gu Hua’s impression of you declined.]
[You gained recognition from Yang Xiu, and for learning his fist technique, obtained the title ’Acclaimed’ in Baiyujing.]
[You unlocked a new location: Demon-Suppressing Great Wall.]
...
Zither Sword Pavilion, a scene of desolation.
Xie Qiaoxuan supported the fainted Song Chai Xin,
watching the Zither Sword Pavilion Master Shangguan Cheng perish at the moment of supporting Song Chai Xin, he remained silent.
He was a Third-Step Cultivator, the Zither Sword Pavilion Master was ultimately not a Third-Step, unable to be regarded as peers in his eyes.
Although Xie Qiaoxuan considered his relationship with Shangguan Cheng to be ordinary.
He had helped the Zither Sword Pavilion several times during difficult times.
With the intention of offering younger generations the chance to comprehend the ’Green Blood Red Heart Pool’, and perhaps build some connections with the notable Confucian scholar behind the Zither Sword Pavilion.
But now, the Zither Sword Pavilion is wiped out.
Surprisingly, it is his disciple...
Unexpectedly, became verbally ’Acclaimed’.
Indeed, the cause and effect are profoundly mysterious.
Symbolically mourned a few words, but clearly, Xie Qiaoxuan and others could not empathize with Tantai Yao, Xu Nian and others.
Once the trio from Wutong Prefecture left, only desolation remained at the Zither Sword Gate.
The air was terribly quiet, Tantai Yao supporting ’Shangguan Cheng’s’ corpse followed Tantai Ye, Xu Nian to the back hill.
Then, personally buried it behind the original Green Blood Red Heart Pool.
The falling segment of Jiaolong Tail, marked the end of the ’Green Blood Red Heart Pool’ as history.
"Right here,"
"I saw it with my own eyes..."
"Song Chai Xin comprehended the ’Green Blood and Red Heart Painting’ that had been understood by none for decades, instinctively punched out using a strand of Divine Thought, cut off his father’s Great Demon segment of jiao tail, severing the chain of bloodline."
Tantai Ye’s body surged with energy, blood flowed, his eyes complex:
"I swallowed Dragon Blood and reshaped ’Mercury Blood Silver Marrow’, fortuitously mastered half of the family father’s ’Vajra Exorcism Robe Skill’ Foundation Establishment Chapter."
"In the realm of ’Prestigious Lineage’ inheritance, the Great Innate is the end, only at higher ’Orthodox level’, can exist those above Primordial Pill."
"Master..."
"My father married a mortal, the clan was shamed, he passed away early, I cannot stop here."
"So, I want to leave midway, head to Baoping State, enter that ’Three Hundred Vajra Halls’, to fight for my future."
Great Zhao divided the Northwest Land, Fumo Temple, is among the few ’Dao Lineage level’ forces within the Great Zhao realm.
And ’Three Hundred Vajra Halls’, is Fumo Temple’s three hundred Martial Arts Academy established in the secular world, scattered throughout the land, with martial arts halls or schools in almost every two or three large cities, as part of its inheritance.
However, entering ’Fumo Temple’ from ’Vajra Halls’, mastering Great Innate, is just the basic condition.
The number of Martial Artists in Vajra Halls is in the tens of thousands, but those who can master ’Vajra Exorcism Robe Skill’ through ’Demon Suppression Festival’, are very few.
Tantai Ye’s father was once appreciated by a head seat in Fumo Temple, said he had wisdom roots, passed half of the entrance skills, but unfortunately never entered, and he was only in the Vajra Hall idling, secularized.
But unexpectedly, a twist of fate occurred in his generation.
"Next time if I meet that Flood Dragon..."
"I don’t want to be as powerless as today."
"At least, I need to be able to stand like ’Song Chai Xin’, with the possibility of throwing a punch at him, and avenge the insults to you, to me, to Zither Sword Pavilion!"
The youth’s eyes flickered with wildness, like a crouching lion.
Seeing his clan uncle was no longer in a life-threatening condition, Tantai Ye bid farewell to his master and senior sister, then left the mountain without looking back.
He clearly knew,
with Zither Sword Pavilion destroyed, it could no longer support him in pursuing the path of ’Martial Artist’.
After the old pavilion master Shangguan Cheng’s death, the succession right was conferred to Xu Nian.
But regardless of whether it’s the senior sister or the clan uncle, if either of them has the intent of inheriting,
this place will forever be his ’home’.
Hoping that when I return again...
I could achieve a name renowned all over Baoping State, able to subdue dragons and tigers...
’Golden Body Arhat’!
Desolate hill and grave, cold and cheerless.
Tantai Yao, with one arm severed, held a handful of yellow earth before Shangguan Cheng’s grave.
Remembering his experiences in the Zither Sword Pavilion over the years, after feeling disheartened, he looked towards the segment of tail in the distant pool.
With Tantai Ye’s departure, like the last straw crumbling.
Tantai Yao’s suppressed emotions finally could not be restrained, his shoulders started trembling slightly...
At this moment, a woman gently pulled him into her embrace, feeling the man stiffen instantly, she merely patted his head without any further action:
"The deceased are gone, one must always look forward."
"Okay, okay, don’t cry..."
Her eyebrows furrowed, looking towards that fresh grave, filled with endless worry and sorrow.
Yet her voice, as she sang out loud, was as clear as a nightingale, able to smooth out people’s furrowed brows, causing Tantai Yao’s emotions to gradually stabilize.
The man was silent for a moment:
"I want to withdraw from the Zither Sword Pavilion."
The woman smiled slightly:
"Do you think you are the sinner?"
Tantai Yao remained silent, broke free from the embrace, and knelt in front of Shangguan Cheng’s grave.
"Where are you going?"
Xu Nian leaned down, whispered in his ear after a moment’s thought, and asked softly.
"Xie Qiaoxuan was right; both statements were right."
"Seeking death over a severed arm without even the courage to break through and seek vengeance, how can one undertake great responsibilities?"
"I cannot shirk responsibility for the fall of the Zither Sword Pavilion. Staying here, I can never cultivate the ’Primordial Pill.’
He took out an ’Iron Sword Order’ inscribed with ancient patterns, and said softly:
"Therefore, I must go to one of the perilous places of Tongye State, to challenge the ’Ten Extremes Pass.’
"Once, a Great Divine Power User said I had the ’Sword Gallbladder and Zither Heart,’ and was a talent worth nurturing, coming from the end of the ’Ten Extremes Pass,’ and invited me to follow him, ensuring me a third-step future."
"At that time, I was young and ambitious, without the hardship of Xie Wei, how could I be willing to travel far and lightly trust the words of others?"
"Later, when Xie Wei was kidnapped, I still believed in my extraordinary talents, thinking I could reverse everything on my own..."
"But now,"
"I regret it."
"Not a word from Xie Qiaoxuan was wrong."
Before he could finish speaking,
he was interrupted by Xu Nian, who spoke indifferently:
"I do not regret."
The woman seriously raised a finger and gently shook it:
"Also, I think that old man’s words were all foolish and extremely annoying."
"If there ever comes a day when I reach the third step, even with Song Chai Xin’s face in mind, I would still want to question the Wutong Prefecture with my sword, and see who is higher!"
"Go ahead."
She smoothed his disheveled hair, wiped away the blood, and then said softly:
"I will set up a new pavilion here."
"Clear away the old clutter,"
"I will definitely have a flourishing ’prestigious sect’ ready when you and the junior brother return..."
"that surpasses Master Shangguan’s creation."
"Then, I will plant a whole field of sunflowers, illuminating this entire dark mountain, so even decades later, you can see a piece of brightness from afar."
Xu Nian paid no attention to Tantai Yao’s words of ’all wrong.’
She just faced away from Tantai Yao, spreading her arms, embraced the pervasive scent of sandalwood, and after dispelling the melancholy between her brows, her eyes remained bright.
Yes.
I do not regret,
isn’t that enough.
Ten years, thirty years, or perhaps...
fifty years?
I will wait.
It’s nothing.
...
Meanwhile, a hundred miles outside the Zither Sword Pavilion, on a nameless barren hill.
Gu Hua, burning with rage, turned into human form, the flesh beneath his spine a blurred mess.
"Wicked child, wicked child!"
"Demon-Suppressing Great Wall’s ’Baiyujing’..."
"It’s infuriating!"
The enraged Flood Dragon lost control, grabbed and destroyed a mountain hill with one hand.
Figures sped from afar, prompting him to restrain himself slightly, but once he sensed the presence clearly, he couldn’t help but angrily rebuke:
"Why the delay?!"
"This time, all is lost!"
"The promised ’Green Blood and Red Heart Painting’ was yours, and I destroyed the Zither Sword Pavilion without lifting a finger, what more do you want!"
The newcomer spoke with a calm indifference:
"Given your competence, no obstruction was necessary."
"Who could have foreseen that the ’Green Blood and Red Heart Painting,’ uncomprehended for decades, would be inherited by that child with a strand of Divine Thought?"
"Truly extraordinary talent, haha..."
"But this world is full of petty strife, the human heart is unpredictable, sometimes circumstances are stronger than people, even if you had the slightest blemish, no matter how you overturn the sky, it’s futile."
"I heard that on the ’Great Snow Mountain,’ an elder of the Yousu Clan has cultivated to the ’fourth step’ and descended the mountain?"
"Hmph!" Gu Hua didn’t care to talk to the newcomer, snorted, acknowledging.
"Then for this first upheaval in Great Zhao affecting a state..."
"Let ’Yunluan Mountain’ be the prelude."
"Before that, I am rather curious,"
"possessing the ’Martial Temple’ qualification, stepping onto the ’Ancient Path of Reception,’ before that stage full of heroes..."
"What miracle can this kid create?"
The person whispered, seemingly a little regretful, moved with the wind, and disappeared without a trace.
In the end, only a corner of a scarlet robe and a silver fish bag were revealed.
This is the emblem of a ’fifth-grade’ rank from the Government Office.
And in Wutong Prefecture, overseeing countless territories, there is only one person who can earn such a ranking!
(ps: Sorry for being late, my dears, QAQ. It was my friend’s wedding this morning, I went driving, and only after lunch I returned. Once I opened my computer, I started writing, three thousand words first, and another Chapter later!)
