On the third floor of the Sword Pavilion, the Sect Master of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Jin Ze, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
Beside him was the Sword Pavilion Elder, who was also looking into the distance.
Han Muye ascended to the third floor and looked at the two of them. He took a deep breath and bowed. “Han Muye greets the Sect Master and Elder.”
The two of them turned back to Han Muye.
Under the heavy atmosphere, Han Muye found it difficult to breathe.
This was a great cultivator.
It was not an elder who was drinking with him.
At this moment, Han Muye finally felt respect for the grand cultivator.
“Senior Brother Gao, have you thought it through?”
A moment later, Han Muye felt the pressure on his body lighten, and then he heard Sect Master Jin Ze’s voice.
“Hehe, it’s rare to have a young successor with good comprehension and temperament. It’s been many years since our Sword Pavilion has been so prosperous.”
The Sword Pavilion elder’s voice was still gentle.
“Yes, his temperament and comprehension are indeed not bad.” The sect master seemed to be very satisfied. Then, he said softly, “Then it’s decided.”
“Han Muye.”
Han Muye looked up.
“Your aptitude is still a little lacking. I have a pill that can increase your aptitude. I’ll give it to you.”
The Sect Master raised his hand, and a small jade bottle flew into Han Muye’s hand.
A pill to increase aptitude!
None of these pills were lower than third-grade!
Without at least 100,000 spiritual rocks, such a pill was impossible to obtain.
Most importantly, without sufficient capability, one would not be able to obtain such a pill even if they had spiritual rocks.
“Han Muye thanks Sect Master for the reward.” After receiving the pill, Han Muye hurriedly bowed.
With this pill, even if he could only raise his aptitude to the eighth-grade, he was confident that he could go further and be more stable on the path of cultivation.
“Don’t thank me.” The sect master shook his head and walked downstairs.
“You have to thank Senior Brother Gao for nurturing you.”
Han Muye turned to look at the Sword Pavilion elder.
The Sword Pavilion Elder smiled and waved his hand, then walked back to the long table at the window sill.
There were three swords on the wooden shelf in front of him.
A dark sword.
An ancient sword.
The other was the signature sword of the Three Qin Sword Sect that had been placed on the wooden shelf just now.
“Have you seen a treasure?”
The Sword Pavilion Elder suddenly spoke.
A treasure?
Han Muye shook his head.
The best swords he had ever seen were all kept in the Sword Pavilion.
“Neither have I,” the Sword Pavilion elder said flatly.
After all, treasures were precious. It was normal that he had never seen them before.
Just as Han Muye thought this, his eyes suddenly widened.
How was that possible!
The Sword Pavilion Elder was holding onto the Nine Mystic Sword.
How could he not have seen a treasure before?
Wasn’t the Nine Mystic Sword just a piece of treasure?
“Good thinking. I’ve never seen the Nine Mystic Sword.”
The Sword Pavilion elder turned around with a calm expression.
“The Nine Mystic Sword is hidden under the Sword Pavilion to suppress peerless demons.”
“If the Nine Mystic Sword appears, the Nine Mystic Mountain will probably be in its most dangerous moment.”
The Nine Mystic Sword was hidden under the Sword Pavilion?
The Nine Mystic Sword could suppress a peerless demon?
These should be top secret in the Sword Pavilion.
If he had not seen the power of Tuoba Cheng and Sect Master Jin Ze that day, Han Muye would not have imagined what a peerless great demon was.
Could it be that the peerless great demon that the Sword Pavilion Elder was referring to was a Heaven Realm demon?
Tuoba Cheng, who was one step away from condensing his sword momentum could move 100 meters with one strike. His sword light was a thousand feet long, and 36 white tigers accompanied him, possessing the might to roar through the nine heavens.
How powerful would a true Heaven Realm expert be?
Such an expert was suppressed under the Sword Pavilion. If it had appeared, would the entire Nine Mystic Mountain still exist?
“The Nine Mystic Sword had protected the Sword Pavilion for ten thousand years, and that demon has also lived for ten thousand years.”
“Don’t you want to know why such a sword containing evil powers was sent into the Sword Pavilion?”
With a wave of his hand, the sword landed in the Sword Pavilion Elder’s hand.
“The demons will try their best to send the soul and blood Qi of the descendants to feed the suppressed great demon.”
Using the soul and blood Qi to feed a great demon?
Han Muye recalled that both this sword and Luo Tian’s sword had killed the demon fox.
The sword killed demons, absorbed their blood, Qi, and soul, and then extended the life of the great demon suppressed by the Sword Pavilion?
Since the Sword Pavilion Elder knew, why didn’t he stop them?
By cutting off the feeding and killing the demon, the Nine Mystic Sword did not need to be suppressed anymore.
“Last time, because the Demon Race didn’t send the blood Qi in time because of the destruction of Blazing Demon Valley, that great demon went crazy.”
The Sword Pavilion Elder’s voice sounded.
“In ten years, nearly a hundred Sword Caretakers died in the Sword Pavilion.”
“Huang Six was the only survivor of that batch.”
Without the demon race’s blood Qi and soul to feed, the great demon would absorb the blood essence and soul of the Sword Pavilion’s Sword Caretaker!
Han Muye remembered that when he first came to the Sword Pavilion, Huang Six had said that the Sword Pavilion could suck away one’s blood.
So it was true.
Looking at the sword in the Sword Pavilion Elder’s hand, Han Muye’s eyes twitched.
He even tried his best to find the secret of this sword.
“The real duty of the Sword Pavilion’s Sword Caretaker is to watch over the Nine Mystic Sword.”
“If there are any abnormalities with this sword, we need to quickly report and respond.”
The Sword Pavilion Elder said softly.
This was the Sword Caretaker.
“You saw the swords hidden in the Sword Pavilion. The sword Qi condensed on them can provide sword intent for the Nine Mystic Sword to suppress demons.”
“Therefore, the swords in the Sword Pavilion are never less than 80% of its capacity.”
“The Sword Nurturing Technique was also left behind to nurture the Nine Mystic Sword.”
At this point, the Sword Pavilion Elder smiled at Han Muye. “Do you know the origin of my Nine Mystic Sword Sect?”
‘I don’t know.’
How could he know?
Now, Han Muye completely understood that he was really just a rookie who had just entered the cultivation world. He had never heard of many true secrets of the cultivation world.
He wasn’t the only one.
Even Mo Yuan, whose skills had soared into the sky and had combat strength that surpassed ordinary Earth Realm experts, was only a low-level cultivator in the eyes of a true great cultivator.
Without stepping into that stgea, it was forever difficult to reach the secrets of that stage.
“The Nine Mystic Sword Sect was named after the Nine Mystic Sword.”
“Our generation is stationed here to suppress the demons.”
“Therefore,” the Sword Pavilion Elder paused and said indifferently, “Although I’ve only cultivated for 60 years, even the three Grand Elders and the Sect Master have to call me Senior Brother.”
The Sword Pavilion actually had such an important identity in the Nine Mystic Sword Sect!
Han Muye looked up at the Sword Pavilion elder and felt his heart skip a beat.
He did not want to be exposed to so many secrets!
As Tuoba Cheng had said, only the strong needed to bear the karma of the weak.
He was not yet strong enough. He did not want to be burdened with these secrets.
“There are actually three inheritances in the Sword Pavilion.”
“Sword Nurturing Technique.”
“Sword Condensing Technique.”
“Military Sword Technique.”
“The Sword Nurturing Technique uses sword Qi to condense the sword bone and a wisp of sword intent. After 60 years, it can become a great force and fight against a Heaven Realm expert.”
“The Sword Condensing Technique uses the soul to nurture sword intent. Once the sword intent is formed, one can reach the Hundred Breaths Heaven Realm.”
“The Military Sword Technique uses humans as weapons and swords. Sword intent is poured into the body. This technique has already become incomplete.”
The Sword Pavilion Elder pointed at the small wooden box on the long table and said softly, “The Sword Nurturing Technique has already been passed down to you. The remnant scrolls of the Sword Condensing Technique and the Military Sword Technique are both here.”
Hearing the Sword Pavilion elder’s words, Han Muye couldn’t help but ask him in a low voice, “Elder, why did you tell me so much today?”
The Sword Pavilion Elder chuckled and waved his hand. “I was going to tell Huang Six about this. But look, he’s leaving. If I don’t tell you, who should I tell?”
Han Muye frowned and said, “Elder, you said that I would have to wait ten years to know these secrets.”
The last time Han Muye came to ask about the sword, the Sword Pavilion Elder had said that he would only tell him the secret after he had been a Sword Caretaker for ten years.
How long had it been? Why was he telling him all this?
“Hehe, if you learn the facts, you have to bear its weight.” The Sword Pavilion Elder looked at Han Mu, his eyes deep.
“Tuoba Cheng has nurtured his sword for ten years. The situation is already set.”
“Su Yuan’s Prairie Fire in one strike had regained power for the fire lineage.”
“The rise of the five lineages of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect and the Sword Pavilion will make people afraid.”
“If we want to become the might of the Sword Sect, we have to sever one sword.”
The Sword Pavilion elder’s expression was calm, without a trace of emotion.
“It’s rare for the five lineages to reunite. The prosperity is in sight. If I want to choose one today, of course I have to break this sword.”
Break a sword!
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
On the Nine Mystic Mountain, the bell rang again!
Five rings!
It was a huge crisis that was next to the death of a Heaven Realm elder!
