Chapter 725: Chapter 727 Sword Realm Returning to Origin!
“Yes, I heard that Master Xianzhu said, the Cloud Forest had collapsed. He went to the Cloud Forest and wasn’t affected at all.”
“Right, I heard that a Great Power attempted the empire calamity at that time, and the calamity destroyed the Cloud Forest. No one could withstand it.”
“Could it be that he didn’t go to the Cloud Forest, so he wasn’t affected?”
“It’s really possible. Didn’t he take on a task for an ordinary person? Maybe he went to complete the task first.”
“Yeah, luckily he missed the incident in the Cloud Forest.”
The disciples of the Wuyang Sword Sect talked among themselves when they saw Yang Yan.
Especially recalling that one sword Yang Yan demonstrated before he left at the Sword Debate Assembly.
It shocked everyone and made them extremely attentive to Yang Yan.
“Disciple, you’re back,” a woman’s voice resonated in Yang Yan’s ears.
It was Master Xianzhu, quickly approaching from afar.
It had been almost ten days since she last saw him in the Cloud Forest.
Seeing Master Xianzhu once again, her face looked particularly haggard.
Her eyes were lacking in luster.
“I’m back,” Yang Yan said indifferently to Master Xianzhu.
He felt no waves in his heart, and his expression remained calm.
“Yang, why does your master look so haggard? Is she too worried about you?” Liu Niang asked softly from the side.
Yang Yan’s eyebrow slightly raised.
*This truly is touching the sore spot!*
*Why is Master Xianzhu so haggard, doesn’t Liu Niang know?*
*Wasn’t Liu Niang the instigator of that day?*
*Without her, how would Master Xianzhu have needed to suppress him?*
*Liu Niang was clearly being deliberate, trying to make Master Xianzhu recall the events of that day.*
“Yes, I was too worried about my disciple,” Master Xianzhu said, her face turning red.
At the beginning of these days, she indeed worried about Yang Yan.
But in the following days, she kept thinking about that man.
Every night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She didn’t realize that these were all the effects of Yang Yan’s Primordial Yang heaven reaching Divine Skill.
Any woman affected by Yang Yan’s Essence Qi, regardless of her cultivation level or how much she hated Yang Yan at the time,
would gradually fall in love with him in the days to come, always thinking about him.
Until she couldn’t live without him, thinking of nothing but loving him more than life itself.
“Oh, Yang, your master truly cares about you.
She is indeed a master like no other,” Liu Niang continued.
Master Xianzhu shifted her gaze.
“Disciple, who is this?”
“I am Yang’s guardian, Liu Niang,” Liu Niang replied politely.
A Guardian?
“Disciple went out for a while and brought back a Great Power,” Master Xianzhu thought, surprised.
She took a detailed look at Liu Niang just now and realized she couldn’t see through Liu Niang at all.
Evidently, Liu Niang’s cultivation and physique were much stronger than hers.
At the very least, she was at the Saint King realm!
“So it’s my disciple’s guardian. Greetings, senior,” Master Xianzhu said, bowing.
“No need to be so courteous. Since you are Yang’s master, we are friends.
You can call me sister,” Liu Niang said, raising her hand.
“Hello, sister,” Master Xianzhu called out.
“Mm, hello, Sister Xianzhu.”
“Sister, disciple, let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
They entered the Wuyang Sword Sect together, attracting many disciples’ curious gazes as they watched their backs.
“Liu Niang, a Guardian?”
“This Brother Xuan Yuan went out and gained such a formidable Guardian.”
“It seems so, and this Guardian must be quite extraordinary,
even more powerful than Master Xianzhu.”
“Above a Saint, could it be a Great Saint?”
“Perhaps even higher!”
“Hiss!”
The crowd speculated continuously, their hearts filled with awe.
Having a Great Power as a Guardian who surpassed the Saint Realm not only increased safety,
but also made Yang Yan’s path to ascension and reaching the Saint Realm incredibly easier.
Advancing beyond cultivation levels wouldn’t be impossible either.
“This Brother Xuan Yuan doesn’t know how lucky he is, having such a Guardian to protect him!”
“With a mentor and a Guardian,
this junior fellow’s prospects are limitless.”
“I’m really envious. If I had such luck, I wouldn’t be stuck failing to break through the King realm.”
“Perhaps it’s because you can’t break through the realm that no Great Power takes notice of you.
Without Brother Xuan Yuan’s genius talent, how could a Great Power take notice of you!”
“Sigh, to have such high talent and good fortune, Brother Xuan Yuan truly makes one envious.”
A group of disciples were filled with envy, and this news also reached the Peak Masters of various Main Peaks.
“A Guardian, who is it?”
“Unclear. Even Master Xianzhu seems unable to discern the person’s cultivation.
She initially called them ‘senior,’ and later even acknowledged her as ‘sister’ courteously!”
“Senior? Sister? Interesting, I must pay a visit to see for myself.”
Master Xianzhu, along with Yang Yan and Liu Niang, hadn’t been back at Bamboo Sword Peak for long when the other Peak Masters and Sect Master arrived.
They laughed heartily as they approached the pavilion.
“We heard there is a prestigious senior visiting our Wuyang Sword Sect. We have come to pay our respects,” a Peak Master called out loudly.
The pavilion door swung open, revealing the figures of Yang Yan, Liu Niang, and Master Xianzhu.
“You all are too kind. I’m just a Loose Cultivator and not worthy of being addressed as ‘senior,'” Liu Niang said with a smile.
She sat there as still as a mountain,
exuding a deep, oppressive aura.
This caused the bodies of the Peak Masters and Sect Master of Wuyang Sword Sect to feel heavy.
They were shocked by her power, realizing it was likely far greater than they had imagined.
“On the first day, there’s already such a formidable presence!” Their hearts trembled.
They then smiled broadly; regardless of Liu Niang’s level of cultivation,
she was Yang Yan’s Guardian, and Yang Yan was a disciple of the Wuyang Sword Sect.
If Wuyang Sword Sect were ever in trouble, and Yang Yan intervened, Liu Niang would likely do so as well.
Having such a master within the Wuyang Sword Sect equated to suddenly having an additional Great Power stationed there.
It was an excellent event indeed!
How could they not be happy?
“Senior, you are too modest,” the Peak Masters and Sect Master of Wuyang Sword Sect said, gesturing respectfully.
They treated Liu Niang with extra courtesy.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they took their leave.
Before leaving, they nodded slightly at Yang Yan, indicating their satisfaction with him.
After they left, Yang Yan asked Master Xianzhu.
“Master, I wonder what needs to be done to open the Gate to Heaven and send me for Ascension through the Wuyang Sword Sect?”
His sole goal now was to ascend to the second heaven.
“To ascend, you need to pass through the Thirty-Three Layers sword path set by the ancestor of the Wuyang Sword Sect, proving your Sword Dao strength.
With your current strength, it might be lacking.
I suggest you wait until you’re closer to Entering Dao before attempting,” Master Xianzhu replied.
Close to Entering Dao?
Yang Yan’s fingertips emitted Sword Qi, transforming into a surging Sword Sea.
He displayed his comprehension of the Sword Sea Realm from the Three Thousand Dao Intents.
The roaring waves condensed into a blue sphere,
within which Sword Qi intertwined and merged, as though it were one entity.
“Sword Realm Returning to Origin!” Master Xianzhu exclaimed in shock.
