Chapter 75: How Can the Thousand Autumn Valley Be Touched By Outsiders?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as all the sects on Mount Canglan were on high alert because of this sudden tremor…
The culprit who caused the tremors stood in front of his “masterpiece” with a dumbfounded expression. He thought calmly and analyzed it carefully and realized that it was useless in the end.
This was because he could not come up with anything useful.
“F-Fellow practitioner Feng, what exactly… is this?”
Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan arrived one after another. Disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were also shocked by the earthquake and gathered from all corners.
If you ask me, who should I ask?
Feng Xia actually wanted to give him this answer.
At this moment, a streak of spiritual light suddenly flashed across his mind. Feng Xia was stunned for a moment before his eyes gradually lit up.
“Perhaps… it’s really possible!”
He clapped his hands, cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, “Fellow practitioner Lei, fellow practitioner Liu. Perhaps before this, be it old Sect Master Ji or us… we are all completely wrong.”
“The so-called inheritance of the first Sect Master… has been under your feet since the beginning.”
“As for the eight small bells left behind by the first Sect Master, they are merely the keys to opening this inheritance.”
“This entire long street… is the legacy left behind by the first Sect Master?”
The two men were flabbergasted as if they were listening to a reading of a heavenly book. For a moment, there was only one thought in their minds.
The first Sect Master was awesome!!
Feng Xia did not know how to explain it to them. In the end, he could only nod helplessly. “That’s about it. Perhaps in your first Sect Master’s opinion, it’s better to leave behind a powerful inheritance rather than a piece of treasure to protect your descendants. As long as the descendants become strong enough, they can naturally protect themselves.”
Liu Chuanyuan first nodded slightly, then frowned and hesitated. “But if this is the inheritance left behind by the first Sect Master, the key to opening the inheritance has been hidden too deeply…”
No one had discovered these eight small spiritual light bells for 700 years.
It could even be said that without Feng Xia’s sudden arrival, they might not have discovered the truth even up to the day the Thousand Autumn Valley was destroyed.
If they could not even discover its existence, what was the point of such an inheritance?
There was a hint of resentment in Liu Chuanyuan’s words.
At the end of the day, even though they had heard countless legends about the first Sect Master, he was still only a legendary character. He did not belong to the same era as them. Apart from reverence, they did not feel too much for him.
However, the old Sword King Ji Qixi… was the actual master of these two men. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were like father and sons.
“If this inheritance isn’t hidden so well, we might have discovered it long ago. The Thousand Autumn Valley wouldn’t have declined and Master wouldn’t have been tied down for so many years and ended up in such a miserable state!”
As he finished speaking, this handsome middle-aged man had already clenched his fists. His voice was choked with bitterness, and carried with it an indescribable strong sense of indignity.
Feng Xia could not help but fall silent.
He hesitated for a moment before saying with a strange expression, “Have you forgotten something? Back then, when your first Sect Master passed on, he did not die of old age. Perhaps he did not have enough time to explain everything about the inheritance to his descendants.”
At this point, Liu Chuanyuan’s expression improved a little.
At this moment, Feng Xia continued, “In addition, I think that the first Sect Master might think that with such a big bell placed there, there will always be someone among the younger generation who will go and check on it. As long as someone does that, they will discover the truth…”
At this point, Liu Chuanyuan’s face had already turned from black to red. Even Lei Shao, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment before his aged face involuntarily flushed red.
Yeah…
After all, it was such a big bell!
Even if they did not want to knock it a few times to hear the sound, they should at least want to touch and look at it, right?
However, none of this happened.
In the long years that followed, countless generations of disciples in the Thousand Autumn Valley did not even try to do it once. They all treated the Thousand Autumn Bell as an immortal and indestructible divine item and let it hang there for a full 700 years…
It was only after 700 years, when Feng Xia came to the Thousand Autumn Valley and dismantled the Thousand Autumn Bell, that they realized the truth.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
“That… that… that’s just…”
The two of them stammered, their faces turning purple-red from shame. In the end, they could not even string together a complete sentence.
Fortunately, at this moment, Feng Xia shook his head calmly and brought them back from their chaotic thoughts. “However, whoever is gone is already gone. There’s no way to chase after the past. Instead of continuing to be conflicted, it’s better to do what’s at hand.”
“Senior Feng, you mean…”
“Let’s explore this ancient street first.”
Feng Xia waved his hand and smiled. “If we can gain something, it will more or less help the reconstruction of the Thousand Autumn Valley.”
On one hand, he had received favors from the old Sect Master and had an interlinked fate with the Thousand Autumn Valley.
On the other hand, he also wanted to try his luck. Perhaps he could find the secret about that strange Mystical Wheel on this mysterious ancient street.
What? The library of the Thousand Autumn Valley?
He had already gone through all the bookshelves last night, but he did not find anything.
He had thought that he could find things that were not recorded in Patriarch Chenhai’s inheritance inside the library of the Thousand Autumn Valley 3,000 years later… Reality had proven that Feng Xia was simply dreaming.
That kind of storyline where one randomly looked through a bookshelf and encountered a peerless divine technique would probably only appear in novels…
“In that case, let’s set off in 10 days.”
After thinking for a while, Feng Xia made a decision. “Both of you have fairly serious injuries. You need to recuperate. Moreover, there’s not many people in the sect now. In 10 days, some of the disciples should be back. At that time, you would be able to explore without worry.”
Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan did not think too much about it and naturally nodded in agreement.
After Feng Xia had gone off with Zhu Youniang, the two men finally came back to their senses.?It seemed that now… the acting Sect Master should actually be Lei Shao!
Then why did the two of them listen to Feng Xia’s instructions for no rhyme or reason?!
“Barbarian Lei, this can’t go on.” Liu Chuanyuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he lowered his voice and said, “Although Senior Feng saved the Thousand Autumn Valley, he’s only an outsider after all. Yet, as the acting Sect Master, you listen to Senior Feng regarding everything.”
“You do have a point. This can’t go on.”
Lei Shao rubbed his stubbled chin and subconsciously looked at Liu Chuanyuan. Then, the two sly old foxes reached a rare consensus at this moment.
“We can’t let an outsider touch the Thousand Autumn Valley!”
“We must make Senior Feng one of us!”
