Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 616 - 325 Holy Artifact Master Cultivation Technique, Sword Manual_2
The Sword Saint glanced at Qin Shou and laughed, "Young Earthling, if you care so much about whether the Heavenly Artifact Continent descends into chaos, why did you join the Earthlings in invading it and disrupting everything?"
Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "That’s a separate matter. The purpose of our arrival on the Heavenly Artifact Continent is different from theirs. We seek cultivation techniques and aim for longer-term development, not necessarily sparking a war and bringing untold suffering."
The Sword Saint’s aging eyes glimmered sharply, "And what about you?"
Qin Shou raised his brow and directed his gaze toward the Sword Saint.
"Me? Of course, I hope to obtain cultivation techniques while also seeing the Heavenly Artifact Continent return to its former tranquility."
"Tranquility?"
The Sword Saint shook his head and lamented, "The Heavenly Artifact Continent has never been tranquil. Slaughter has never ceased. Because of your arrival, we’re forced to form a temporary alliance—that’s all."
"The future can wait. For now, we must eliminate the greatest threat, otherwise..."
Qin Shou paused for a moment, calculating the time. By now, Ning Xian should have reached the pinnacle of being a Spiritual Artifact Master.
Once he obtains the cultivation technique, and if the alliance fails or the situation grows dire, Earth will immediately abandon the Heavenly Artifact Continent and withdraw from the battlefield.
Elder Long holds the critical position in the Divine Realm battle.
If Elder Long retreats, the Divine Realm experts from Mirror Planet will unquestionably gain the upper hand.
At that point, Qin Shou wouldn’t be able to reverse the fate of the Heavenly Artifact Continent.
Perhaps years later, when Qin Shou becomes a Divine Realm expert, he might return here to turn the tide.
But by then, the Heavenly Artifact Continent will likely no longer fit Qin Shou’s vision for reshaping the world...
...
Sword Sect.
Within the Sword Tomb, amidst the broken remnants of ruins, shattered swords protruded from the ground, and dense, deathly sharp Sword Qi would occasionally sweep through, shredding passing crows into fragments.
"Ka ka..."
Several broken feathers drifted onto Ning Bufan’s shoulder as the wind blew. The remnants of feathers landed lightly in the uplifted palm of Ning Xian.
"Sect Master Ning, what brings you to find me today?"
Primordial Energy surged in Ning Xian’s hand, violently shattering the black feathers in his palm, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes.
The so-called righteous forces espoused by Tianjing were nothing but a joke to him.
Only powerful strength allows one to establish themselves on the Heavenly Artifact Continent!
Before a pitch-black broken sword, Ning Bufan sighed deeply. With a slight movement of his sword finger, the black broken sword trembled, then shot out and floated midair. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Crack crack crack..."
In an instant, the black broken sword radiated a mysterious light, no longer appearing as ordinary as before.
"This is your father’s Heavenly Sword. I intend to pass it on to you now."
Ning Bufan turned around as the Heavenly Sword gently descended before Ning Xian.
A flash of disdain flickered in Ning Xian’s eyes. With an outstretched hand, the Sky Crystal Sword pierced the heavens and streaked toward him.
"Clang!!"
One slash, and the Heavenly Sword let out an unwilling wail, shattering into pieces under the blade of the Sky Crystal Sword and scattering across the ground.
"You... Xian’er, what are you doing? The Heavenly Sword is your father’s only relic!" Ning Bufan was incredulous.
Ning Xian sneered, "A mere relic? That person, did you even care about him during his lifetime?"
"I..."
Ning Bufan fell silent, his tone bitter.
"You’re still young; you don’t understand..."
Ning Xian scoffed, "I don’t need to understand. I only know that if I were still the useless person I once was, you wouldn’t have bothered speaking so much to me today!"
"Right, Grandpa!" Ning Xian’s expression turned mocking.
Ning Bufan’s body trembled. As expected, Xian’er, like Achuan, ultimately didn’t understand any of it.
After a long while, he slowly turned his back and threw a prepared Storage Jade toward Ning Xian behind him.
"What’s this?" Ning Xian said coldly.
"Holy Artifact Master cultivation techniques, methods of crafting Holy Artifacts, and some artifact-refining materials."
A flicker of emotion broke through Ning Xian’s cold expression, "You’re just giving it to me?"
Ning Bufan replied, "Of course. If you advance to Holy Artifact Master, you’ll have the ability to protect yourself... I, as your grandfather, will be at ease. Just don’t follow in Achuan’s footsteps."
Gripping the Storage Jade tightly, Ning Xian’s lips curled into a slight smile.
"Heh, don’t worry. I... will!"
The Heavenly Artifact Continent never believes in weakness!
Ning Xian turned and left without a shred of hesitation.
Ning Bufan took a deep breath, like an ordinary man, slowly piecing together the fragments of the Heavenly Sword. He softly stroked the cracked sword, tears welling in his eyes.
"Achuan, it seems I can’t stop Xian’er. Unless I... Alas, people grow old, and their hearts soften. Let him be..."
Within the deathly still Sword Tomb, only a lone and increasingly hunched figure remained.
...
Sword Sect. A spaceship descended conspicuously on the main peak, and the Sword Saint and Lin Ke emerged from it, triggering a clamor among the disciples.
"The spaceship belongs to those Earth demons. Where did the Sword Saint, old as he is, snatch it from?"
"Of course from those Earth demons. Don’t forget, the Western Continent also has plenty of Earth people."
"Haha, that’s true. At first, it looked strange, but the longer you look at it, it’s pretty fancy. Look at how smooth its exterior is—feels nice to the touch."
"Be careful! Don’t damage it. You wouldn’t be able to pay for it."
"Just touching it—it won’t break that easily..."
A group of Sword Sect disciples gathered around the spaceship. Inside the cabin, Qin Shou observed them and activated an electrical barrier, shocking away their dirty hands.
No money, but you want to touch it? Time to eat thunder!
In front of Qin Shou, a virtual screen displayed surveillance of Ning Xian’s every move.
"Heh, this kid has fortune on his side. Ning Bufan didn’t even make him swear an oath—that’s rare."
Qin Shou smirked, preparing to find an opportunity to seize that Storage Jade.
Ning Xian is already considered a disciple of the Sword Sect. As the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Ning Bufan handing over Holy Artifact Master cultivation techniques to a disciple doesn’t technically break any promises.
The requirement to swear an oath before receiving the technique is simply an extra layer of insurance.
If Qin Shou forcibly takes the Storage Jade, neither Ning Bufan nor Ning Xian can bear any responsibility.
