The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 322 - 287: Chu Yinyin Emerges from Seclusion
Five days passed in a flash.
During this time, Chu Huaixu practically did only one thing each day.
—"Domestic violence" against Han Shuangjiang.
After they came out of the Dao Ancestor Secret Realm, both had mastered the three thousand volumes of the Sword Dao.
With so many Profound Level sword techniques, they definitely needed to spar and exchange moves.
This way, when in a real battle, they could choose the most appropriate sword technique according to the situation at the first moment.
Overall, Han Shuangjiang’s need in this area would be greater.
For Chu Huaixu, the most suitable was still [Six Out of Seven].
Apart from its "self-harm" attribute, this technique indeed had no shortcomings.
It had both speed and power.
Completely capable of defeating all with one trick.
It specializes in dealing with all kinds of flashy techniques!
During sparring, his Sword Heart progress bar would also grow slowly, and he could gain some Experience Points through practice.
As for the Earth Level sword technique [Green Falling Lodging Fire], they didn’t hold back and taught it to Xiaoxu.
Chu Huaixu once again witnessed the terrifying nature of [Comprehension 10].
Xu Ziqing’s learning speed was incredibly fast.
In comparison, he felt like a dim-witted person without a brain.
Moreover, he only found out today that Xu Ziqing had already practiced [Six Out of Seven] to Great Perfection.
Chu Huaixu, on the other hand, had only just managed to get this skill to Great Success with no more resources to upgrade further for now.
Fortunately, Xiaoxu had only a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo, and his realm improvement was slow, which slightly balanced Chu Huaixu’s heart.
He estimated that by the time the East and West Continent Competition in the Third Realm began, Xu Ziqing might only reach the Fifth Heaven, at most the Sixth Heaven.
This was thanks to his daily medication and medicinal baths.
At this time, Xu Ziqing was in the room soaking in a medicinal bath.
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were sparring outside the room.
"Snap—!" Having found a big flaw, Chu Huaixu gave his Daoist partner a hearty smack on the rear.
Han Shuangjiang’s plump bottom took a slap, her cheeks flushed, and she let out an instinctive shout: "Ah!"
When Xu Ziqing was watching, their sparring was more proper.
With this third wheel absent, it would invariably turn into flirting and teasing.
After a moment of intimacy, Han Shuangjiang stood up and said, "It’s time, I have to go find Master."
Nangong Yue guided her cultivation every three days.
"I also need to go treat the Fifth Ancestor," Chu Huaixu replied.
This time, Zhao Shuqi accompanied him to see Zhong Ming.
Currently, Zhong Ming’s treatment progress bar was at 3%.
It could be said that the overall progress was very slow.
Chu Huaixu tried coming more frequently, only to find it had no effect.
The power of [Nan Liujing] did not produce better results with increased frequency.
It seemed he could only absorb so much in a given time.
"I wonder if the effect will improve once my cultivation realm is elevated."
If it can’t speed up, won’t it take at least five years to treat?
....
....
As time passed, the Daoist Sect began hosting the Third Realm competition within the sect.
Since the East and West Continent Competition was held in the Moon Country, which was far away, the sect held a preliminary round to select a hundred people to go.
Chu Huaixu and his two companions were not participating; they did not need to enter the selection, nor would they take up any of the 100 slots.
In the hall of Wenda Peak, Xiang Yan and others sat together discussing the matters of the upcoming East and West Continent Competition.
"Junior Martial Uncle, are you sure you want to lead the team yourself?" Xiang Yan asked.
Jiang Zhi nodded.
"If I don’t go personally, I can’t rest easy."
Having said that, he glanced at an empty chair in the hall.
The others heard this and fell into a brief silence.
Finally, Xiang Yan spoke again, "I received a letter from the Sword Sect yesterday. This time, the Sword Venerable will also be personally attending the East and West Continent Competition."
"Oh?" Jiang Zhi was a bit surprised by this.
It’s widely known that the Sword Venerable almost never involves himself in worldly affairs, focusing solely on Sword Enlightenment.
He seldom leaves the Nameless Peak of the Sword Sect, let alone goes down the mountain.
This is markedly different from Jiang Zhi, who enjoys descending the mountain to vanquish demons.
Xiang Yan smiled and said, "In the letter, Sect Leader Li of the Sword Sect mentioned that the Sword Venerable is very interested in meeting Chu Huaixu."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi was not surprised.
"The current Sword Venerable has never taken on a disciple. If Chu Huaixu were in the Sword Sect, I suspect he couldn’t resist having thoughts of accepting a disciple." Li Chunsong said jokingly.
Thankfully, I brought Chu Huaixu up the mountain!
Zhao Shuqi, sitting next to him, immediately chimed in, saying, "Not so, Sixth Junior Brother, you’re mistaken on this."
"If Chu Huaixu had joined the Sword Sect, he wouldn’t become a disciple of the Sword Venerable."
"Oh? Why?" Li Chunsong was puzzled.
He couldn’t believe that with Chu Huaixu’s talent, even if the Sword Venerable were unconcerned with worldly matters and aloof, he wouldn’t be tempted!
Zhao Shuqi laughed heartily and said, "Because Situ Cheng would definitely compete with his senior brother for him. How could the Sword Venerable win against his own junior brother?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile.
The relationship between this senior and junior brother is famously well-known in the Cultivation Realm.
Even the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect can’t force the Sword Venerable to do anything. They are on equal footing.
But he can order Situ Cheng first, who will then order the Sword Venerable.
Jiang Zhi spoke at this moment and snorted coldly, "I suspect he hasn’t broken through to the Ninth Realm yet because he is waiting for that precious junior brother of his."
"If he broke through to the Ninth Realm, the sparring sessions he barely wins might not be able to go on."
Xiang Yan cleared his throat and brought the conversation back on track.
"For this trip to the Moon Country, which Elder is willing to accompany Junior Martial Uncle?" he asked.
In their eyes, Jiang Zhi wasn’t very reliable.
Moreover, this little old man could at most back them up but not handle affairs.
Besides, the Moon Country Royal Family holds a grudge against Jiang Zhi due to past grievances.
Years ago, Junior Martial Uncle had killed a prince of the Moon Country for certain reasons.
This incident caused quite a stir back then, but eventually, it was left unresolved.
Additionally, Junior Martial Uncle has a great dislike for the Old State Preceptor of the Moon Country.
They even had a previous confrontation.
If it weren’t for the national fortune of the Moon Country protecting him and the Grand Array of the Imperial Capital providing support, Ming Xuanji might have lost all his old teeth to Jiang Zhi.
If Junior Martial Uncle is going to the Moon Country, someone needs to keep an eye on him.
Nangong Yue volunteered, "Why don’t I go?"
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the hall.
"Since my disciple is going to claim the title of Profound Yellow Leader again, I naturally should accompany him as his master’s teacher."
A flash streaked by, and an extra person appeared on a chair in the hall.
It was a little girl who looked about ten years old, with a face still carrying baby fat, looking quite adorable.
The Tenth Elder of the Daoist Sect, Chu Yinyin, formally emerged from seclusion.
