BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229: This Person’s Sword Qi is
Translator: 549690339
In the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had taken control over the territories of four countries after splitting from the Five
Elements Sect.
Although these four countries were originally under the influence of the Five Elements Sect, many cultivator clans still maintained ties with the Five Elements Sect, given that it had been less than a hundred years since the separation. Thus, while the Divine Wood Sect was nominally seen as the ruling sect over these four countries, their control was not absolute.
In Jian Country, there was a Foundation Establishment clan named Yuan. The founder of the Yuan clan, a cultivator named Yuan Hongyuan, initially had no Significant affiliation. However, thanks to his exceptional talent and deep set of opportunities, he managed to pass the threshold of life and death without a Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in foundation establishment a hundred years ago.
However, there were hidden secrets behind this achievement.
The residence of the Yuan clan was named Black Cloud Mountain, where the spirit vein was most vigorous at the mountain peak, reaching the lower-grade of Rank-3.
Yuan Hongyuan, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, lived here, overlooking the mountain.
“Find a way to kill this one,” he ordered.
That day, an unexpected guest arrived at Black Cloud Mountain, who landed back to Yuan Hongyuan and threw down a portrait.
“Who is this person?”
upon receiving it, Yuan Hongyuan found that it was a young teenager who looked quite young.
“He’s the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.”
The arrival didn’t hide anything and conveyed the truth.
“If I make a move, whether successful or not, I fear the Yuan clan won’t be able to stay in these four countries any longer,” Yuan Hongyuan fretted, crumpling up the portrait and knitting his brows.
“Don’t forget that your growth today is because our sect granted you a Foundation Building Pill.”
Having said this, the visitor sneered, without any further delay, directly turned into a beam of spiritual light, and disappeared on top of Black Cloud Mountain.
Yuan Hongyuan stood under a spirit tree laden with peaches, pondering for a long time, then let out a long sigh and descended from the mountain where he hadn’t left for ten years.
“Ancestor, why didn’t you notify us when you left seclusion?”
Inside the hall of the Yuan clan, the current clan head, Yuan Shaoyuan, expressed his surprise upon seeing the incoming Yuan Hongyuan and immediately offered him his seat.
“Find out about this year’s number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. I need to know all his information.”
As the founder of the Yuan clan and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yuan Hongyuan was the de facto emperor. Upon his order, Yuan Shaoyuan immediately set out personally, ran to Giant Tree Ridge, and asked about the condition from several disciples of his clan who had joined the Divine Wood
Sect.
Two days later, after learning about Chen Mobai, the worry on Yuan Hongyuan’s face deepened.
If he were to kill this man and the truth were to be revealed, even if he took the Yuan clan and fled the four countries, they would likely still be tracked and hunted down by the Divine Wood Sect for their extermination.
-Ancestor, this person is recognized by all in the Divine Wood Sect as a Sword Cultivation Genius. He is unparalleled among his peers. If he establishes his foundation in the future, and a Gold Core isn’t out, he will be an invincible existence under the heavens,” said Yuan Shaoyuan with a hint of hidden worry in his words.
As the clan head, he naturally understood that there was a manipulating hand behind the Yuan clan. It was because of this manipulator that they had managed to root themselves in Jian Country, and even gain Black Cloud Mountain with its lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein.
On ordinary days when Yuan Hongyuan was in seclusion, he, the clan head, would be the one to communicate with the manipulating hand.
Now that the pillar of their family had suddenly descended from the mountain and was inquiring about Chen Mobai’s news, he, as the clan head, could guess why.
“You, Little Si and Little Liu, go and watch closely at Giant Tree Ridge. As soon as this person leaves Jian Country, immediately inform me.” After long consideration, Yuan Hongyuan had no choice but to follow the manipulator’s orders.
After all, over the past hundred years, he had done quite a few things in Jian Country that were detrimental to the Divine Wood Sect, and he had already crossed the line too many times.
“Yes, ancestor, but although this person is the top true disciple, he is only one person. The three of us at Qi Cultivation Perfection, along with that Three-Smoked Cloud Formation, should be able to take him, and there’s no need for you to personally make a move,” Yuan Shaoyuan suggested. He felt that Yuan Hongyuan, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was too high profile, and might likely be discovered by the Divine Wood Sect’s investigators once he took action.
“Hmph, when hunting a rabbit, the lion still uses its full power. The reason I, Yuan, have been able to cultivate to this day is my caution. I always ensure complete preparation and am able to eradicate the root of any problem, leaving no future trouble. This is why my Yuan clan has what it has today,” said Yuan
Hongyuan.
“Moreover, not to put too fine a point on it, but if this person is recognized by the Divine Wood Sect as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, even if the three of you together with the formation can take him down, it’s likely that one or two of you may die in the process,” added Yuan Hongyuan.
Hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan couldn’t help but feel horrified.
“Could this person be even more amazing than Hong He!
Hong He was previously the most famous number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, holding this position for a full ten years, leaving Zhou Wangshen and E Yun to alternate in the second and third places. His formidable fighting talent was well-known even outside the Eastern Wilderness to those from the major sects.
“The last one recognized as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, is the current Gold Core cultivator at Golden Cliff,” concluded Yuan Hongyuan. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan felt that it was better to proceed with caution, in accordance with the ancestor’s wish.
However, he also felt pity for Chen Mobai.
Such talent and potential, yet before he could make his name known to the world, he was about to die from a secret attack
Yuan Hongyuan, who was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-foundation stage, had once fought off three early foundation stage invaders single-handedly at Black Cloud Mountain.
No matter how exceptional Chen Mobai’s talent was, he was merely at Qi Cultivation level at the moment. Under the personal suppression of Yuan Hongyuan, there was surely no chance of escaping alive..
