Chapter 441: Chapter 267 Master and Disciple

Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Senluo Sect’s Ten Thousand Sword Peak, Elder Jian had been paying close attention to Li Yuanba in these days. Also, as there had been no significant incidents recently, Elder Jian had stayed at Ten Thousand Sword Peak, guiding Li Yuanba in his cultivation.

Elder Jian explained every detail of the ‘Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, even the content meant for the Golden Core Stage had been taught in advance.

This made Li Yuanba puzzled; it seemed as if Elder Jian was preparing to leave something behind.

However, Elder Jian did not give him the reason, so he could only passively accept this legacy.

During this period, Li Yuanba’s cultivation had made rapid strides; with the aid of a large number of top-tier spirit pills, his cultivation was twenty times more effective, and he had more time to practice flying swords each day.

Although he had Jiang Chen as a trump card, under the training and influence of Elder Jian, he was becoming more and more like a true Sword Cultivator.

Amidst his cultivation, in the Senluo Sect, he also heard of his true self, Li Shiming’s, renown.

He was somewhat surprised to find that Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master, seemed to bear no animosity from the cultivators of the Senluo Sect due to the nature of good versus evil, instead receiving unanimous praise.

Had it not been for his identity, without the opportunity to meet Li Shiming, he believed the Devil Cultivators within the Sect would have found a way to join in the celebration of Alchemy Master Li Shiming and present their gifts.

That day, as usual, Elder Jian explained the ‘Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ to Li Yuanba.

He then quizzed Li Yuanba on the content he had explained before, and found that Li Yuanba had remembered all of it, without a single mistake, and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

“Yuan Ba, I have explained to you all the content of the Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique up to the Nascent Soul Stage, including the points to note. You might wonder why I am in such a rush,” said Elder Jian, looking at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba couldn’t help but scratch his scalp; he was indeed very curious.

“For a long time to come, I won’t be able to guide your cultivation!” Elder Jian spoke slowly.

“Master!” Li Yuanba exclaimed, fearing Elder Jian had encountered some sort of trouble.

With Elder Jian’s strength, only a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could cause him trouble.

“It’s not what you’re thinking. It’s good news. I’ve had a premonition recently and am preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend the Nascent Soul Dao!” Elder Jian said with a smile on his face.

“Congratulations, Master!” Li Yuanba said joyously, bowing deeply.

“This has something to do with you too. Ever since I took you as a disciple, I’ve felt the legacy of our Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion continue, and a great burden has finally been lifted from my heart. Thanks to this feeling, I’ve made some breakthroughs,” Elder Jian chuckled.

He was extremely satisfied with this disciple; Li Yuanba’s talent was exceptional, whether in terms of foundation or learning ability. Even among the original members of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he would be a top genius.

Such a disciple had the potential to keep pace with him and might one day return to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Whether Elder Jian’s attempt to ascend to the Nascent Soul was successful or not, he could attempt the breakthrough with peace of mind. Even if the breakthrough resulted in his demise, his disciple Li Yuanba had the potential to fulfill his wishes and return to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion as a Nascent Soul.

At least, he had passed down the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s legacy here, and it would continue from generation to generation until one day it could be returned to the original Chongxiao Pavilion.

Upon hearing Elder Jian’s words, Li Yuanba was still somewhat astonished, as he had heard this sentiment expressed many times.

It seemed like his good fortune was affecting those around him. The mentors of his original self, Li Shiming, and his senior sister had both been influenced, and now even his current master, Elder Jian, had found hope for a breakthrough because of him.

“Master, rest assured in your seclusion; as your disciple, I will strive on my own and will not let you down!” Li Yuanba pledged solemnly.

“I have confidence in you, but I do not trust the other cultivators in our Sect!” Elder Jian said, letting out a cold laugh as he looked beyond the mountains.

Li Yuanba thought of Elder Lv and naturally understood what Elder Jian was referring to.

“This Ten Thousand Sword Peak is my private property, a gift by my mentor who mobilised several Nascent Soul Ancestors to seize it on my behalf. This Ten Thousand Sword Peak is of little significance to me, and I fear that once I go into seclusion, some sect elders might covet it. Though they wouldn’t dare to take it by force with my mentor watching over, we must remain vigilant against their secret schemes!

Your mentor may be incommunicado for an extended period during cultivation, so before I enter seclusion, I will transfer the inheritance of Ten Thousand Sword Peak to you. With control of Ten Thousand Sword Peak, even facing a Golden Core Elder, you can handle it while on the Peak,” Elder Jian said to Li Yuanba with a serious expression.

“Master, there’s actually something I haven’t told you!” Li Yuanba said with a bow after a moment’s thought.

“If it concerns your secrets, then there’s no need to mention them. What cultivator doesn’t have a few secrets?” Elder Jian said with a smile, looking at him.

To Elder Jian, what Li Yuanba wanted to share was unlikely to be a matter of great importance.

“Please look at this, Master!” Li Yuanba took out the design for the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure from the Space Ring that once belonged to Elder Lv, presented it before him, and said.

He revealed the design of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure because he wanted to let Elder Jian know about the Sect’s Golden Core Elders’ intentions. Although Elder Lv had fallen, there was no knowing how many other Golden Core Elders were eyeing Ten Thousand Sword Peak. He was concerned that Elder Jian was underestimating how much the Sect’s Golden Core Elders covet Ten Thousand Sword Peak.

“It seems Elder Lv had been plotting for Ten Thousand Sword Peak for a long time. Just this design alone couldn’t have been done by any ordinary Artifact Refining Master!” Elder Jian sighed after looking at the design for Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
