Chapter 368 - 211: Realization of Human Disaster, Chixiao Avoids Misfortunes 3
If there were cultivators familiar with the Daqian Sect present, they would certainly recognize it at a glance.
This place was one of the eight Nascent Soul Great Sects of Daqian.
Star Moon Sect.
Han Yi did not possess the supernatural power of foreseeing the future, so naturally, he didn’t know his worries were unnecessary.
He just maintained a cautious attitude and focus, doing what he should do, no more and no less.
He rode the Immortal Boat, his divine consciousness surging, nor was he stingy with the use of the mid-grade spirit stones. One hundred and ninety-nine spirit stones were embedded into the control center of the Immortal Boat, moving forward at full speed.
On the second day, at the break of dawn, when the purple air reached from the east, an Immortal City emerged within ten miles and entered Han Yi’s sight. Chixiao Immortal City.
The immortal City was huge. In Han Yi’s experience, it naturally could not be compared to Qiandu and Shudu. However, it was only slightly smaller than Jinyun Immortal City, and much larger than any other Immortal City that Han Yi had seen.
In Daqian, both sacred lands and the three great sects had their exclusive immortal cities near their sects. These immortal cities were named after the sects, and the Daqian Six Ministries were just stationed there. The real management was naturally done by the sects and were considered buffer zones between Daqian and the five great powers.
Chixiao Immortal City was an Immortal City built near the Chixiao Sword Sect. Han Yi’s eyes passed over the Immortal City, and behind it, a few kilometers away, a mountain range stood there with many Immortal Peaks gathered and shrouded in a Cloud Sea.
Chixiao Sword Sect.
This was the destination of Han Yi’s visit this time.
He bypassed the Immortal City and went straight to the Sword Sect. At the foot of the mountain, he was stopped by a cultivator guarding the sect.
“I am Han Yi of Xuandan Sect. This time, I have been invited by your esteemed sect’s Dmg Jiansheng, Daoist Ding, to leave a Sword Mark on Chixiao Mountain.”
Han Yi’s expression was neither servile nor overbearing. With his cultivation base, even if he encountered a true monarch or even a Daoist monarch, they could only make him respectful, not fearful.
“So it is Daoist Han, please wait a moment.”
The Daoist used a Sound Transmission Stone to inform the sect. A moment later, he spoke apologetically to Han Yi: “I’m sorry, Daoist Han, Senior Brother Ding hasn’t returned to the sect yet.”
“However, the sect has a contingency plan for this situation. If Daoist Han has other matters, it’s not necessary for Senior Brother Ding to guide him. Other senior and junior brothers can lead him to the Sword Mountain to leave a Sword Mark, and if fate allows, he can naturally obtain a Sword Skill or Sword Secret of the same stage.”
“If Daoist Han insists on waiting for Senior Brother Ding, he can stay in the Guest-Welcoming Building for a while and enter Sword Mountain after Senior Brother Ding returns.”
Han Yi asked curiously, “Daoist, may 1 ask your name, and what’s the difference between these two situations?”
The Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the mountain explained:
“My name is Li Xiao. For Daoist Han, the difference between these two situations is merely the longer or shorter time. However, for our sect’s cultivators, it’s different.”
“If Senior Brother Ding leads the way and Daoist Han leaves a Sword Mark on Sword Mountain, in addition to receiving sect points, he can also gain the insights from the Sword Mountain during the process, which is a form of cultivation.”
“If it’s not Daoist Ding leading the way but another senior or junior brother then the points and the chance of realizing this insight go to the one leading the way.”
Han Yi suddenly understood.
This was akin to sales commissions in his previous life, with the sect points and the Sword Mountain’s comprehension rewards being like commission bonuses.
After some thought, Han Yi’s original intention was to come to Chixiao Sword Sect to hide for a while. He estimated it would be about a month. During this time, he would use the first method to gain protection within the Chixiao Mountain Range. Although it might not be the true gate of Chixiao Sword Sect he believed that his safety would be guaranteed.
In that case, he would naturally be satisfied with this arrangement. “Daoist Li, Daoist Ding has instructed me to wait for him to return before entering Sword Mountain. In that case, I must ask for Daoist Li’s help in making arrangements.”
Li Xiao naturally had no objections and agreed immediately. He handed Han Yi a temporary identification badge and led him to a loft at the edge of the mountain range.
In front of the loft, there was an open space with a stone tablet. On the stone tablet, the words “Guest-Welcoming Building” were written with powerful strokes and emitting a faint sword light.
Han Yi stopped and looked at it with curiosity.
“Daoist Han may not know, this Guest-Welcoming Pine Tablet was established by the seventh Sect Master of our sect. The three characters on the stone tablet were personally written by the seventh Sect Master. It was said that an invited swordsman once gained insight into a Sword Technique from these characters.”
“Since Daoist Han has been invited by Senior Brother Ding, his Sword Way talent must be extraordinary, and he can try to comprehend it.”
Seeing Han Yi’s curiosity, Li Xiao explained patiently.
Han Yi shook his head with a smile and said, his Sword Way, though initially relying on proficiency from practice, whether it’s his Sword Control Skill or Departing Fire Sword Formula, had been continuously improved. As of now, with the continuous breakthroughs in his Sword Control Skill and Departing Fire Sword Formula, his comprehension of Sword Way was incomparable to the past.
Trying it maybe possible, but even if something was gained, it couldn’t compare to the skills that were gained through proficiency, so why waste time? A moment later.
Li Xiao took his leave, and Han Yi walked into the cultivation chamber arranged for him. The chamber was located in the middle of the Guest-Welcoming Building and had a Second-stage Formation in place, which was generally safe under normal circumstances.
Han Yi closed the door and took out nine array discs, setting up the Spirit-killing Illusion Array. This array gathered both offense and defense and was a Third-stage mid-quality Formation. As long as it wasn’t a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, it could withstand their attacks.
After setting up the array.
Han Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.
He then went over the events that transpired a second time. This time, from when he met Lu Li, heard the news about Yan Ru, left the sect, arrived at Lingchuan City, received Yan Ru’s box, and then spent two months traversing half of Daqian to reach Yuan Lao Mountain.
Next, he encountered the assassination attempt by three early-stage Golden Core cultivators, counter-killed and pursued them, and finally killed the Fragrance Sect’s hall master, who triggered a divine consciousness restriction and was directly blown up, making Han Yi alarmed. In order to prevent accidents, he thought about hiding in the Chixiao Sword Sect.
Along the way, he didn’t see many people.
Han Yi reviewed every scene of his journey.
After a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly and held a box that appeared in his hand. He opened the box, revealing a piece of blood-stained cloth at the corner.
“Before arriving at Yuan Lao Mountain, the only place where I was known by others was Lingchuan City. The Fragrance Sect cultivators could accurately know my whereabouts across dozens of provinces and two states of Shu and Qian, and at that time, I had just left Yuan Lao Mountain Palace in disguise.” “In that case.”
The other party has a secret technique that points directly at me.”
“Only this blood cloth has the most suspicion.”
Han Yi suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flashed.
“No, not just the blood cloth, but also this seemingly unremarkable box..”
