Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1961: Sword Stone Forest · Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture
Qin Yaorao knew that her master, Fairy Xuanbing, possessed extraordinary strength. She had witnessed her effortlessly slay over a hundred Thunder Tribulation experts who invaded the forbidden area of Xuanbing Mountain, proving that the title "Number One of Nine Layers of Thunder Tribulation" was not undeserved.
Qin Yaorao was worried that if Fang Bai came to Xuanbing Mountain and her master knew that he was her man, it was likely that he would be killed to sever her own thoughts and strengthen her Dao heart.
"Let’s go, back to the peak!"
Qin Yaorao didn’t want to think about it anymore and called her junior sister, Xiao Ying, to fly side by side toward the main peak of the Xuanbing Mountain Range, Xuanbing Peak.
The top of Xuanbing Peak was covered with millennia-old ice and snow, wide and flat, with several exquisite palaces. Fairy Xuanbing usually resided in the main hall, while Qin Yaorao, Xiao Ying, and ten other disciples lived in the side halls.
Fairy Xuanbing possessed both water and gold innate spiritual roots, a rare cultivation genius in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
It was with this exceptional talent that Fairy Xuanbing was able to reach the Ninth Level of the Thunder Tribulation realm, over a century old, acknowledged by the Three Thousand Great Worlds as one of the strongest individuals most likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm within a century.
At this moment, Fairy Xuanbing was sitting cross-legged on the ice platform at the top of Xuanbing Peak, with eight female disciples in yellow standing in front of her.
The eight female disciples ranged from over forty years old to around twenty, with the weakest among them still at the Second Level of Thunder Tribulation cultivation.
Although Fairy Xuanbing was a loose cultivator, she had taken ten disciples to pass on her legacy.
Many experts in the Three Thousand Great Worlds believed that with the abilities of Ice Fairy, it was enough to establish a sect and shine for ages, but Fairy Xuanbing seemed uninterested in this.
A moment later, two yellow figures came from afar, landing at the top of Xuanbing Peak, it was none other than Qin Yaorao and Xiao Ying.
"Master!"
Qin Yaorao and Xiao Ying walked up to Fairy Xuanbing, respectfully bowing.
Fairy Xuanbing glanced sideways at Qin Yaorao, asking lightly, "Where has Yaorao been again?"
Qin Yaorao lowered her brow and answered, "I stood by the edge of the Ice Sea for a moment."
Fairy Xuanbing raised her eyebrows, snorted lightly, and said, "Your talent may be good, but if you don’t apply yourself in cultivation, you will hardly achieve great success in the future! From today, you are to come here to cultivate every dawn at sunrise, nowhere else! Do you hear me?"
Her voice grew somewhat stern by the end.
Other disciples would definitely comply without objection, not daring to utter a single word.
But Qin Yaorao pursed her lips and retorted, "If I don’t stand by the sea every day, I will be distracted. In that case, even if I cultivate here, it will not be effective!"
She publicly contradicted Fairy Xuanbing, displaying great courage, yet she was certain that Fairy Xuanbing would at most only punish her.
What Qin Yaorao longed for most was that Fairy Xuanbing, in a fit of anger, would expel her from the mountain.
Of course, Qin Yaorao knew this was unlikely.
Among the ten disciples of Fairy Xuanbing, Qin Yaorao was the most talented and had the best potential to inherit Fairy Xuanbing’s legacy.
Therefore, although Fairy Xuanbing was angry at Qin Yaorao’s public defiance, she would not expel her, but punishment would still be given.
Upon hearing Qin Yaorao contradict her master again, the nine fellow sisters, including Xiao Ying, all looked at her, some admiring her courage, some worried, and some gloating.
"After today’s cultivation is over, go to the Sword Stone Forest in the back mountain and face the wall to reflect for a month!"
Just as Qin Yaorao had anticipated, Fairy Xuanbing gave her a not-so-light punishment after her mistake, maintaining her authority as a master.
Qin Yaorao was already accustomed to this and didn’t mind.
In fact, Qin Yaorao was not averse to reflecting in the Sword Stone Forest in the back mountain, she actually looked forward to it.
It is said that the Sword Stone Forest was the retreat and cultivation site of Fairy Xuanbing’s ancestor. The stone steles, like giant long swords, engraved with profound ancient runes. Fairy Xuanbing said those runes were cultivation methods left by the ancestor, and if one could comprehend them, one would achieve astonishing accomplishments in cultivation in the future.
Fairy Xuanbing could understand some of those ancient runes. She once told her ten disciples that it was through comprehending some runes on the stone steles and cultivating according to them that she reached her current realm of cultivation.
However, to Fairy Xuanbing’s disappointment, among her ten disciples, except for the highly anticipated Qin Yaorao, the other nine disciples were baffled and could hardly grasp the profound meanings when facing those runes.
Fortunately, in these years, Qin Yaorao’s cultivation progress has been rapid, now reaching the Fourth Level of Thunder Tribulation, which greatly comforted Fairy Xuanbing.
Fairy Xuanbing didn’t know that when Qin Yaorao first went to the Sword Stone Forest in the back mountain to reflect, she found that the runes on the stone steles were identical to the "Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture," a Golden System cultivation technique Fang Bai taught her.
This discovery left Qin Yaorao greatly astonished.
In the past, when Fang Bai taught Qin Yaorao the "Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture," he warned her not to cultivate it openly, lest it lead to trouble, so Qin Yaorao told no one about it.
However, after discovering the "Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture" in the Sword Stone Forest, Qin Yaorao knew she didn’t need to worry anymore and began cultivating the "Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture" openly.
The "Myriad Sword Immortal Scripture" is a Golden System Immortal Rank cultivation technique, and because Qin Yaorao had personally heard Fang Bai’s explanation, she comprehended even more than Fairy Xuanbing.
This was also the reason for Qin Yaorao’s rapid progress, exceeding Fairy Xuanbing’s expectations.
Qin Yaorao’s advancement showed Fairy Xuanbing the possibility of surpassing her, which is why she was more lenient with Qin Yaorao, even if she made mistakes or contradicted her, she wouldn’t severely punish her.
At dusk, after Fairy Xuanbing’s lecture finished, she returned to the main hall.
The ten disciples got up and returned to their respective places of enlightenment.
Qin Yaorao nodded to Xiao Ying and went straight to the Sword Stone Forest in the back mountain.
At midnight, Qin Yaorao, sitting cross-legged in the Sword Stone Forest in the back mountain, emerged from her cultivation state, looking up at the starry sky, feeling as if those stars were like Fang Bai winking at her.
"Fang Bai, oh Fang Bai, where on earth are you? Do you know, I really miss you now! Are you also thinking of me?"
Qin Yaorao murmured to herself.
Suddenly, she felt as if Fang Bai was getting closer to her.
Though the Sword Stone Forest appeared chaotic, it was actually a magical formation. Without understanding the Array Path, once someone entered, it would be extremely difficult to leave.
Fairy Xuanbing’s ten disciples could freely enter and exit this formation, but no matter who it was, when punished to reflect here, no one dared to leave before the deadline.
Qin Yaorao dared not leave early, it was simply unwillingness.
She found that in this Sword Stone Forest, once she entered a cultivation state, she could temporarily forget her longing for Fang Bai.
