God Emperor - Chapter 772

Chapter 772: 772

Half-Saint Zixia, lord of the Longevity Institution on Zixia Sacred Mountain, was also Lin Yue’s nominal master .

After the Kunlun Heir’s Banquet, Lin Yue became as famous as Gai Tianjiao in the Yin and Yang Sect . Both of them were now Yin and Yang Sect superstars, with quite promising futures .

Although Half-Saint Zixia was only a nominal master to Lin Yue, he also shared benefites with Lin Yue, which made many other Half-Saints in the Yin and Yang Sect feel jealous .

Zixia was so happy to see Zhang Ruochen that he did not hide his admiration at all . He said, “Lin Yue, you did really well during the banquet . You defeated the Demonic Sect masters and earned respect for the Yin and Yang Sect . Your contribution will be rewarded . Now, please follow me to Tai Qing Palace . The master wants to see you . ”

Though Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was only at the Eighth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, his spiritual power had reached the Half-Saint Realm, which put him on equal footing with Half-Saint Zixia .

For this reason, insteading of acting like his master, Zixia treated Zhang Ruochen as an equal .

“The master wants to see me?” Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised .

“Yes, he does . ”

Zixia smiled . “As far as I know, Patriarch Taiyi thinks you have great potential . He will be present as well, but you don’t need to be nervous . Just answer the master’s questions honestly . ”

Zhang Ruochen thanked Zixia and returned to the Yin and Yang Sect with him .

They went to the the Tai Qing Palace .

Ning Xuandao, master of the Yin and Yang Sect, stood side-by-side with the Moon-Burier Sword Saint in the center of the palace, discussing something secret .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint frowned, and his face became sullen . He said his worries aloud . “My lord, Patriarch Taiyi brought news from the Seven Ancient Gods Mountains, saying that the Heaven Sword has behaved abnormally again . The tip was pointing towards the Deceased God Cemetery . This is the third change this month . ”

“Since ancient times, the Heaven Sword and the Earth Sword have been suppressing the destiny of the Yin and Yang Sect . If these two swords do not move, it means we will enjoy a prosperous time and have no threats from our enemies . ”

“If the Earth Sword moves, it signifies that a disaster will come and some important man in the Sect will fall . ”

“If the Heaven Sword moves, it means that the disaster will be quite severe and it will have a negative impact on the whole Sect . ”

“The Heaven Sword has moved three times in a month, indicating that we will have a catastrophe soon . ”

Ning Xuandao, who wore a Taoist robe and held a bronz hossu, looked quite sullen . He looked in the direction of the Deceased God Cemetery and said, “The appearance of the Void Sword illustrates that something unusual occurred in the Deceased God Cemetery . ”

Moon-Burier Sword Saint said, “I’ve sent disciples, Xiao Yun and Situ Xiao, to the cemetery . If something has happened, they will inform the authorities at once . ”

“Whew!”

A bright dot quickly came towards them from afar . It rushed into Tai Qing Palace and fell on the Moon-Burier Sword Saint’s palm .

It was a Signal Flare .

Words showed themselves on it one-by-one .

After reading them, the Moon-Burier Sword Saint’s face became gloomy .

“What’s wrong?” asked Ning Xuandao .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint put away the Signal Flare and said, “Xiao Yun and Situ Xiao found Monks from the Immortal Vampires at the Deceased God Cemetery . ”

“I can’t believe they went to the Deceased God Cemetery . ”

Ning Xuandao snorted before saying, “During the fight with the Immortal Vampires, our Yin and Yang Sect contributed a lot . They must have been holding a grudge towards us since then . They have evil intentions against us . ”

“This is quite serious . The Yin and Yang Sect should be placed on full alert from now on . ”

Then, Ning Xuandao sent his order by using the power of Divine Soul, which transmitted sound waves to the Three Palaces and 72 Compounds .

A moment later, a disciple came in . He saluted Ning Xuandao and then said, “Master, Lin Yue and Half-Saint Zixia are waiting outside the palace . ”

“Let them in . ”

With a slight movement, Ning Xuandao appeared at the highest place in the palace, sitting on a chair carved out of a Holy Stone .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint did not leave . Instead, he sat down at Ning Xuandao’s left hand .

Zhang Ruochen, following Half-Saint Zixia, entered the palace . They did not stop until they were in the center of the main hall .

Half-Saint Zixia then waited on the right side of the main hall .

Zhang Ruochen bowed . He said, “Your disciple, Lin Yue, has come to pay his respects to the master and the sword saint . ”

“Lin Yue, you’re now the Spiritual Half-Saint . You do not need to bow to us . ”

The expression on Ning Xuandao’s face seemed soft . He carefully scanned Zhang Ruochen and nodded . “No wonder you’re a genius in Tao of the sword, you have an extraordinary temperament . I see why the patriarch of the Divine Dragon and Half-Human Clan came to see me a few days ago . He wanted to match you with a girl . ”

After thinking quickly, Zhang Ruochen knew the reason, but he felt bitter in his heart .

After the Kunlun Heir’s Banquet, everyone knew Lin Yue was fond of Commandery Princess Yanchen from East Region Saint Mansions . Therefore, Ning Xuandao changed the topic . He then said, “Your actions at the banquest were quite excellent . The sword saint and I have been watching you for a long time . ”

“Over the years, the Demonic Sect won all the battles with other Suzerains except for the one with the Ministry of War . However, this time, you defeated them, and they must be quite embarrassed . ”

“However, there is something I don’t understand . Why did you give up, when your cultivation was high enough to win you a seat as an Heir?”

Zhang Ruochen had already expected that Ning Xuandao would ask this question, therefore, he replied with the same answer which he had told Saint Lady .

Since the banquet was over and nothing could be changed, Ning Xuandao did not ask further . But he became more serious and said, “So, how about inheritance of the Void Sword and the Thousand-Bone Empress?”

Even though Zhang Ruochen was standing in front of the Master of the Yin and Yang Sect and the Moon-Burier Sword Saint, he stayed calm and relaxed .

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Actually, this sword was a gift from Half-Saint Yuanlong . ”

Ning Xuandao and the Moon-Burier Sword Saint both went momentarily blank . They were obviously stunned .

They knew who Half-Saint Yuanlong was, but what they did not understand was why he had given the Void Sword, an extremely precious treasure, to Lin Yue?

In fact, Half-Saint Zixia was the most surprised, because he did know why Half-Saint Yuanlong had given this sword to Lin Yue .

Still in shock, Zixia asked again, “Do you mean that the broken sword Half-Saint Yuanlong gave to you is actually the legendary ‘Void Sword’ that once belonged to the Thousand-Bone Empress?”

Zhang Ruochen replied, “At first, I thought it was a broken sword as well, but I later found out that it was the Void Sword . ”

Half-Saint Zixia began laughing so hard that he started to cry .

He wanted to tell Yuanlong the news right away . He wondered if the old man would get frustrated after he learned the truth about the sword .

After Ning Xuandao and Moon-Burier Sword Saint learned the whole story from Zixia, they looked at each other with an odd expression .

Half-Saint Yuanlong had given the Void Sword to a junior . If he found out the truth, he would be frustrated for several days, even though he was in the Heart State of Half-Sainthood right now .

After that, Ning Xuandao asked Zhang Ruochen some more questions, and he answered them fluently and flawlessly .

“Only less than a month is left until Sep 9th, on which day you will represent the Yin and Yang Sect in the Sword Technique Conference . No one will be your match, except for one person,” Ning Xuandao said seriously .

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Is is Shao Lin from the Four Symbols Sect?”

Ning Xuandao nodded and said, “His talent in Tao of the sword is as excellent as yours . Now that he has become an Heir of Kunlun’s Field and drunk the Holy Spring Water, his cultivation is probably more powerful than a second level Half-Saint . You have no chance of winning if you compete with him . ”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “I will do whatever I must to never let the Four Symbols Sect take control of the Sword Pavilion . ”

According to Qi Hong’s memory, Zhang Ruochen knew that there was a secret agreement between the Four Symbols Sect and the Demonic Sect . They were setting a trap at the Sword Technique Conference to seize control of the Sword Pavilion .

Ning Xuandao felt assured and said, “It’s so good for you to have such determination . The Suzerain will fully support you . If you need anything, just tell me straightaway, and I will make it happen as long as it’s reasonable . ”

Zhang Ruochen replied immediately, “I want to see the wordless sword manual . ”

The wordless sword manual was the number one holy book of Tao of the sword . Who would not want to see it?

But the Moon-Burier Sword Saint frowned . He said, “Lin Yue, you have great talent in Tao of the sword, however, your cultivation is not high enough . The wordless sword manual is extremely hard to understand . You know, even many Saints are unable to perceive anything valuable from it .

“Since you don’t have much time, you should focus on how to improve your cultivation properly .

“To be frank, you couldn’t compete with Shao Lin with the cultivation of the Eighth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm even if your Sword Two had reached the Completion . ”

“However, if you could reach the Ninth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm before the Sword Technique Conference, and at the same time, refine a drop of divine blood by the power of gods during the sacrificial ceremony, then you might have a chance to defeat Shao Lin . ”

Obviously, the Moon-Burier Sword Saint provided the best suggestion, according to his understanding and calculation .

As long as everything went well, Lin Yue would have a chance to defeat Shao Lin .

However, Zhang Ruochen had his own throughts . He must achieve the Completion of Sword Two before the Sword Technique Conference .

This was what Sword Saint Xuanjin expected of him .

If he could do it, Sword Saint Xuanji would be relieved and in a good mood before his final battle with Nine Serenity Sword Saint .

As a result, Sword Saint Xuanji would have a better chance of winning .

He had less than a month . His only chance was to study the wordless sword manual and reach the Completion of Sword Two .

Zhang Ruochen said firmly, “This is my only request . I hope that the master and the sword saint will give me this opportunity . ”
