"Isn't the one month for Disciple Fang Chen over?" Sect Leader Su asked with a light tone. A hidden worry concealed in his voice.
"Yes, Sect Leader. Today's the day I will be bringing him out of the Sword Stele." Elder Lai Chan replied, even though he noticed the unnatural tone in Sect Leader Su's words.
Sect Leader Su nodded his head, "Alright, bring him here first. I want to see his progress."
Elder Lai Chang asked, "Should I bring him here right now?"
Sect Leader Su thought for a moment before replying, "Yeah, bring him here right now. We will continue our discussion later."
Elder Lai Chang nodded his head while cupping his fists, "I will take my leave and bring him here then."
Sect Leader Su nodded and waved his hand, gesturing him to go.
….
*slash*
Sword light flashed through the hall.
Ye Tian Yun then moved his sword and brought it closer to himself for inspection.
Looking at the edges, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
The edge was blistered unevenly and had become blunt.
And all this happened just because he was slashing his sword in the air.
'I need to change my Swords,' Ye TianYun decided.
It was not that these Swords were cheap or weak, but rather, the power of Ye Tian Yun's Sword Intent was too much for these Swords.
Unlike many cultivators, Ye Tian Yun didn't like to use a single powerful sword.
In fact, almost all the top existences in the world, be it present or the past, have always had a signature weapon, like the Gracious Sword of the First Sect Leader of the Gracious Sword Sect, Yuan Xuming.
These weapons are as famous as the experts themselves. This is also why everyone in the cultivation world likes to keep a single powerful weapon to get famous one day with their weapon and battle prowess.
Ye Tian Yun, however, was the opposite. He didn't understand the logic behind just keeping a single weapon and using all the moves based on it.
He felt it was a waste of a person's true potential and might even be harmful to their progress.
Having a lot of swords gave a better advantage to a cultivator, in his opinion.
Even though these are just swords, all swords, when used in battle, give a different feeling to the cultivator.
The feeling is unexplainable; however, there are only two outcomes: either the cultivator likes the feeling or doesn't. There's no gray area in this.
And if a cultivator only uses a single weapon his whole life, his mindset becomes limited. When he loses that weapon or if he changes his weapon, his battle prowess gets adversely affected.
This was the reason why Ye TianYun preferred to use multiple swords - in fact, his whole spatial ring was filled with weapons or cultivation resources - and he liked not to have a 'liking' for a single sword.
In his eyes, swords were just swords. There's no bigger meaning behind them.
The easier a sword could cut through his enemies, the better it was for him.
He never cared about the 'feeling' a sword gave to him.
And currently, he was very unsatisfied with his swords and wanted to change them.
Due to the sudden increase in his power, it was getting hard for his sword to handle the force and raw power within the strike.
Thus, they became blunt after a few sword strikes.
Thus, he had decided to change his swords.
'But I will need to find a good blacksmith…' Ye Tian Yun frowned.
It wasn't that he didn't have someone in mind, or he needed to go back to the Middle Heavens for this. Rather, the problem was, the one in his mind… was… quite eccentric and would kill him at first sight.
'Sigh, my father was too arrogant for his own good…' Ye TianYun shook his head.
The blacksmith, in his mind, was one of the geniuses of the previous generation.
But the only problem was - since he was a genius, he was also a rival to his father.
And now that his father was ruling the whole Middle Heavens, it wasn't easy to conclude who must have come out on top.
'I will have to find other alternatives before it's too late… I will lose too much time if I keep changing my sword in the battles… every instant matters. If I slacked even a bit, I would be dead, and I wouldn't even know what actually happened.'
Letting out a sigh, Ye TianYun then looked around himself.
He was actually in a forest.
To be more specific, he was in the hall, and the illusion array had been restored by the System.
Everything around him was back to normal, exactly like how it was when Ye Tian Yun had first stepped into the Hall.
Soon, Elder Lai Chang will arrive, and Ye TianYun will finally be able to come out of training.
He had made a lot of progress in the last one month, and the only thing that remained to do right now was to go after Xiao Ming.
He needed to head for the Southern Province and get his hands on the Token Of Fate.
But before that, he needed to resolve a few of his hidden agendas that he had never put his mind on.
Other than that, there were few more worrisome things - the monthly mission that Ye TianYun was going to wait for was not canceled.
Because of the assassination attempt, the sect was under lockdown.
No one was going to leave the sect. Thus the future had already changed.
Due to the lockdown, Xiao Ming would not be going on a mission leading him to find the Token Of Fate.
The mission that was going to change his life was now not going to happen.
So, how was Ye TianYun going to get his hands over the token?
