Universal Sword God - Chapter 3

Jing Yan became a Xiantian expert at the age of 14 and entered one of Blue Province’s 3 great academies ,the Godwind academy at the age of 16, how glorious was that?

Now because of one unlucky ring, which caused his cultivation to drop continuously, turning him into a worthless piece of trash. If someone with a weaker will experience this , they probably would have gone crazy a long time ago.

Now this old bastard said he is having great luck, what kind of crap is this?

If it wasn’t for the other’s mysterious identity, Jing Yan would have bitch slap him.

“Of course!” Tian Shui saw Jing Yan’s face and smiled, “Boy, first, calm down! Do you know the history of the Universal Ring?”

“The Universal Ring’s history? I only know it is the inheritance of my grandpa and he told me to carefully on hold on to it.” Jing Yan looked at the ring on his hand, not knowing if he should take it off.

However, from Tian Shui’s words, The Universal Ring’s seal was already unlocked and absorbed enough Yuan Qi, so it probably won’t absorb his Yuan Qi. In other words, he could now once more cultivate again.

“The ring is indeed left to you by your grandpa, but its history isn’t as simple as that.” Tian Shui smiled.

“Then what history does the Universal Ring holds?”Jing Yan wasn’t too interested in the ring’s history, since he found the reason behind his dropping cultivation, he wants to spend as much time cultivating as possible.

However, the old man in front of him named Tian Shui doesn’t seem that simple. To be able to put a silver of his soul in the ring meant that he was very powerful back then.

“4000 years ago, this ring’s master was me!”

“And 4000 years ago, I was this continent’s number 1 expert.” Tian Shui said with a smirk

“What?” When Jing Yan heard this, he was shocked to the core.

He wasn’t able to absorb this piece of information at the moment.

Tian Shui’s words were, 4000 years ago he was this continent’s number 1 expert, what kind of crap was that?

How big was Tian Yuan continent? Jing Yan has never heard of someone who managed to travel across the entire continent, even the Blue Province only has select people that managed to travel around it.

According to records, Tian Yuan continent is made up of 99 provinces. The Blue Province is a very ordinary province and even the Blue Province’s number 1 expert is a terrifying and respected existence. How strong would the continent’s number 1 expert be?

“Of course, I might be the ring’s master 4000 year ago but I wasn’t the one who made it. After I got this ring, I also gained a set of powerful Inner techniques, the Inner technique that you just have a brief vision of.” Tian Shui looked at Jing Yan with nostalgia.

“Heaven’s Divine Manual?” Jing Yan blinked.

He has gotten a vision of it but it was incredibly blurry and don’t know much about it.

“Yes” Tian Shui nodded. “Even I don’t know what level you will be after mastering this set of OP inner techniques. However, I can confirm once you mastered the first 3 stages you will stand at the peak of the continent because I only need the first 3 stages to be the continent’s number 1 expert.”

“I can feel that after the 3rd stage, there’s at least 3 more stage, or probably more.” Tian Shui said with a serious look.

“You don’t know about these things right now, you only need to know with this set of inner techniques, you have the potential to become the continent’s number 1 expert.”

“After me, you are the first one to unlock the Universal Ring’s seal in 4000 years. This ring was passed down generation to generation, falling into the hands of countless people but no one was able to unlock the seal including your grandpa Jing Tian.” Tian Shui said emotionally.

“Huh?”

“Something’s wrong, didn’t you say you were in spiritual sleep, how did you know my grandpa?” Jing Yan suddenly thought of Tian Shui’s word about waking him.

“What a joke, I might be in spiritual sleep, but that doesn’t mean I am ignorant towards the outside world, I could still feel the various thing  that is happening in the outside world.” Tian Shui gave Jing Yan a blank look.

“Boy, I’m a little tired, now that you got the inner technique, grasp your time and practice it. I guarantee, you will love it.” After saying that, Tian Shui disappeared from Jing Yan’s sight.

Tian Shui is only a silver of a soul, he didn’t tell Jing Yan, this silver of a soul would disappear bit by bit. If it wasn’t for the Universal Ring’s nurturing his soul, this silver of a soul would have long disappeared. However, the Universal Ring’s nurturing has its limits and is just slowing down the process of his soul disappearing. One day, he will disappear forever, from the world

Tian Shui’s disappearance caused Jing Yan to try and find traces of him until he looked back at his ring understanding that Tian Shui’ soul most likely went back inside the Universal Ring.

Jing Yan don’t know if what Tian Shui said was the truth, but for some unknown reason he believed Tian Shui. Of course if Tian Shui did trick him, he have no way of retaliating and the Universal Ring does hold some type of inner technique and he had just learnt it.

At the silence Jing Yan calmed down and tried using Heaven’s Divine Manual, he only comprehended a little but after with effort he barely managed to use it.

“Ha!”

At that one meditation, Tian Shui was incredibly shocked, because the amount of Yuan Qi came to him like a flood was not something that an average Inner Technique can do.

Jing Yan’s previous Inner technique was decent but compared to Heaven’s Divine Manual, it was complete trash.

Within a few minutes, Jing Yan was once again at the bottleneck of the 3rd stage cultivation meaning the 4th stage was not far away.

Half an hour later of meditation, Jing Yan stopped.

His eyes held an excited and complicated look.

His excitement came from the power of his Inner technique, after mediating with this technique, his level of improvement was frightening. His complicated emotions, however, came from, him not having a single spirit stone. If he had some spirit stones, Jing Yan believes that he could reach the 4th stage within a day.

Heaven’s Divine Manual might be powerful, but it can’t produce Yuan Qi on its own, he still needs some Yuan Qi.

“Where can I find some spirit stones?”

Jing Yan shook his head.

If his grandpa was still alive, he could ask his grandpa for spirit stone but now.

He might be the last clan leader’s grandson but his position within his clan is very low. Last few days, Jing Yan heard word of expelling him from the clan. In this situation, it will be incredibly hard for him to get training resources.
