Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 705 - Two Lineages of Sword Immortals

Bian Hanyu did not notice Qin Yun and Yi Xiao coming over.

She held a book in one hand, with the tabby cat in her the other. She had her head lower as she stroked the cat’s fur.

“There’s little time left before I die. What I should do has been done. I have lived this life without regrets. Well… there are still regrets. I was once young and swore to avenge my family, get revenge for those 103 lives. Later did I learn that it was the result of a mighty figure’s rage. My oath appears comical and is an overestimation of my abilities.” Bian Hanyu mocked herself.

In the eyes of many cultivators, mighty figures were formidable beings that could be the guests of Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

Her oath of killing the mighty figure for revenge was an overestimation of her abilities and laughable.

Bian Hanyu had made the oath when she was young, but after cultivating for centuries and acquainting herself with many Skyimmortals, she realized how big the gap between her and a mighty figure was.

“Apart from that one regret…”

Bian Hanyu looked at her hands. “I still have one more regret. After I’m dead, although fellow Daoists have agreed to receive me and help me awaken to switch to other Dharmic formulations, I would no longer be a real flying sword immortal.”

“It’s been nearly 500 years. Am I ultimately abandoning this path?”

Bian Hanyu warmly stroked the fat tabby cat’s fur as emotions surged through her heart.

Over the five hundred years of cultivation, the sword had become a part of her life. She had entrusted too much of her feelings to it. Through Green Touring Palace’s search of sword immortal geniuses in the Three Realms, only two had eventually caught Qin Yun’s eye! For Bian Hanyu to be one of the two that caught his eye in the entire Three Realms, she had definitely invested immensely in the sword to attain such recognition.

Now that she had to abandon being a sword immortal and switch to other Dharmic formulations, she naturally felt rather unwilling.

“I once saw a Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage disciple. My Sword Dao insights are sufficiently high, enough for me to become their disciple. But for some reason… The Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage doesn’t wish to accept me,” thought Bian Hanyu. “The legendary Sword Immortal Qin created his own Essence Soul Dharmic formulation, but I’ve never heard of anyone cultivating his sword immortal Dharmic formulation. There’s no way to even try to be his disciple.

“From the looks of it, I am no longer fated to be a sword immortal. Fine, whatever. What else can still weigh me down?” Bian Hanyu suddenly sensed the two figures that were approaching her.

It was a man and woman who looked like an immortal couple.

When they walked, the entire world seemed to bow before them. They looked like rulers of the world.

This formless influence left Bian Hanyu alarmed. “I’ve once seen a half-step Golden Immortal from afar, but in terms of might, the difference from these two is huge.”

“Greetings Seniors, I’m Bian Hanyu.” Bian Hanyu immediately stood up and bowed reverently. The three cat demons prostrated themselves, clearly afraid as well.

“I’ve heard of your name, Sword Immortal Hanyu.” Qin Yun smiled at the woman while Yi Xiao observed carefully from the side.

“Senior, in front of you, a mortal like me wouldn’t dare call myself sword immortal,” said Bian Hanyu reverently.

Qin Yun nodded. “I come from Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar. My name is Qin Yun.”

Bian Hanyu was taken aback.

Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar? Wasn’t that the residence of the legendary Sword Immortal Qin?

Qin Yun?

Isn’t that Sword Immortal Qin’s name?

Sword Immortal Qin’s legend had long spread throughout the Three Realms. He had once slain the founding patriarch, Patriarch Spirit Devouring, of the spirit-devouring lineage, deemed as the fiend among fiends! Not only did he slay a patriarch fiend, he had suppressed the fiends with his sword alone, eliminating numerous Skyfiends, causing the fiends to retreat into the fiendish dominions. As such, none of the other dominions in the Three Realms had signs of fiends anymore.

This alone was incredible! Countless Skyimmortals were astonished by this for it was once a upon a time that the fiends terrorized all over the Three Realms.

“Senior, you are Sword Immortal Qin?” Bian Hanyu was somewhat in a daze.

“In Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar, none of my Qin family’s juniors dare to call themselves Sword Immortal Qin,” said Qin Yun. Ever since he shocked the Three Realms, although many of the Qin family juniors had cultivated in a Sword Dao, they had all sorts of titles, such as Fairy Yuluo, but none of them called themselves Sword Immortal Qin. None of the Qin family juniors dared to do so, much less others who had no blood ties to the Qin family.

Qin Yun continued, “I’ve created a sword immortal Dharmic formulation that can be cultivated to the Golden Immortal realm. I came today to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?”

Bian Hanyu’s eyes lit up.

Sword immortal?

Sword Immortal Qin was coming to her to recruit her personally?

Bian Hanyu immediately plopped to the ground and kowtowed reverently, “Greetings, Master!”

“Good, get up.” Qin Yun smiled. There were only two in the Three Realms who caught his eye. For her to take him in as her master so straightforwardly pleased him.

“See that?” Qin Yun looked at Yi Xiao beside him. “She’s still willing to take me as her master.”

“Look at how smug you are.” Yi Xiao laughed.

Following that, Qin Yun said to Bian Hanyu, “This is my wife. If there’s nothing holding you back, you can leave with me now.”

“Greetings, Master Matron,” greeted Bian Hanyu reverently. “I have little of my lifespan left. I can naturally leave now.”

Following that, Bian Hanyu looked at the three cat demons beside her. “The three of you, cultivate well. I’ll return if I succeed in my cultivation.” Although the three cat demons were unwilling to part with her, they did not dare say as much in the face of the legendary Sword Immortal Qin. All they said was, “Mistress, don’t forget us.”

“Mistress, you must return.”

After a short conversation, the three Essence Soul cat demons left obediently.

When Bian Hanyu looked at Qin Yun, tumultuous waves had long been stirring in her heart!

She…

Sword Immortal Hanyu!

She was beginning her journey as a sword immortal! After becoming Sword Immortal Qin’s disciple, she naturally had to focus on her cultivation. Even when it came to the three cat demons she thought of as family, she would not be able to show them any concern for an extended period of time.

“Rather straightforward.” Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction. “Let’s go.”

Qin Yun, Yi Xiao, and Bian Hanyu vanished into thin air.

…

In another Great World. The Flying Immortal Great World.

“Master, is that the Junior Brother Yu whom you are looking for?” In a restaurant, Bian Hanyu looked at a white-dressed youth who had walked out from a distant manor. His presence on the streets was unknown to the commoners around him, for he was the true ruler of this city.

“He has not become my disciple, so he cannot be considered your junior brother.” Qin Yun said as he picked some food for Yi Xiao. “Try this. It’s not bad. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; exactly what you like.”

Yi Xiao smiled as she ate the food as she shot a glance at Qin Yun. She nodded giggling, “Yes, it’s not bad. To think that restaurant you randomly chose would have food that suits my palate.”

“Don’t you forget what cultivation realm your husband is,” said Qin Yun.

By the side, Bian Hanyu didn’t say a word as she ate with her head lowered.

Qin Yun looked outside and said, “He will come in a while.”

Just as his voice faded—

The white-dressed youth walked towards the restaurant. When he came to the entrance, he hesitated for a moment before stepping in and coming upstairs.

This scene left Bian Hanyu astounded. “This Yu Gufeng was in seclusion previously. Master, he exited seclusion just moments after you came to this restaurant and came all the way here. It seems like Yu Gufeng didn’t notice it himself… Was all of this because of you, Master?”

She had finally witnessed the means available to a top mighty figure in the Three Realms.

At that moment—

Yu Gufeng reached the second floor while feeling a baffling urge to eat and, the moment he arrived, he saw three figures.

Sitting by the window was a table of three. When he saw the trio, they seemed to be the only scene that existed in the world. Everything else was a blur.

“Greetings Seniors.” Yu Gufeng only felt astounded. He knew he had encountered impressive existences as he bowed reverently.

Qin Yun looked at him and smiled. “I come from the Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar. My name is Qin Yun.”

Yu Gufeng was taken aback as his eyes lit up.

Heavenly realm’s Mt. Lightning Roar?

Qin Yun? Sword Immortal Qin?

“I’ve created a sword immortal Dharmic formulation that can be cultivated to the Golden Immortal realm,” said Qin Yun. “I came today to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?”

“Wait!”

A fluctuation descended.

An elder crossed space-time and appeared on the second floor of the restaurant.

Qin Yun looked at the elder and could not help but frown. “Are you trying to stop me?”

The elder immediately gave an obsequious smile. “Sword Immortal Qin, I’m Long Eyebrows, a disciple of Eight Scenic Palace.”

“Disciple of Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.” Qin Yun nodded indifferently. “What are you here for?”

Qin Yun was one of the strongest existences in the Three Realms beneath the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor.

He was one of the strongest perfected Great Dao existences, but Daoist Long Eyebrows was only an ordinary Golden Immortal. It was already impressive that Qin Yun did not lose decorum when Long Eyebrows stepped in to stop him from taking in a disciple.

“Sword Immortal Qin,” said the elder as he smiled obsequiously. This Gufeng has long been eyed by my Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage. We have tested him several times and gave him several opportunities. We have been grooming him all this while. Now that the test is complete, we plan to take him in as our disciple.”

“That means… you still haven’t recruited him?” Qin Yun said.

The elder was taken aback as he nodded. “Yes, we haven’t. However, the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage has been grooming him and giving him opportunities.”

“Your grooming was of your own will. Does that mean he has to become your Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage’s disciple?” Qin Yun said. “As long as he hasn’t already pledged himself a disciple to a master, he can make his own choice.”

The elder was somewhat embarrassed as he nodded immediately. “Yes, yes.”

The Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor could only govern without any true influence. Eight Scenic Palace did not even have a single perfected Great Dao existence.

Against a half-step Heavenly Dao realm Sword Immortal Qin… one could say that his Sword Heart was quite impressive to dare snatch his disciple.

“Gufeng, do you still recognize me?” The elder changed his looks into that of an old beggar.

“It’s you, Senior.” Yu Gufeng was somewhat alarmed.

“The Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage has indeed given you opportunities,” said Qin Yun. “But in the past century or so, they have also given you three calamities. You do not owe them anything. At this moment you do not have a master, so you can choose for yourself. You can choose the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage or me as your master!”

“Yes, yes. Make your own choice. With Sword Immortal Qin’s standing, he wouldn’t force you as well,” said the elder with a smile.
