This is just too much to take in! And who can remember after hearing it only three times!
"...Xie, how much did you understand?"
"...More than you, thatās for sure."
Bai Xiaodao sneered,
"I should have killed you to avenge my brother, but since the True Monarch asks us to reach Foundation Establishment before sparring again, Iāll spare your life for now.
But since the True Man has instructed us to practice dual cultivation, we have no choice but to cooperate.
Otherwise, if you fool canāt remember the Immortalās teachings and make mistakes while practicing, itāll be your own death, but donāt drag me down with you."
Xie Hutou snorted coldly,
"No need to worry about me, Iāll definitely outlive you."
Bai Xiaodao rolled his eyes,
"The True Monarch was speaking too fast just now, why donāt we write down the Sword Scripture ourselves and compare to make sure we got it right?"
Xie Hutou did not refuse,
"...Definitely got more right than you."
So the two of them went off to write down the dual cultivation notes, not mentioning it again.
Tie Dan shook his head too, couldnāt remember even after three times and had to write it down to memorize, what a couple of useless ones. Probably not much use.
Whatever, after all, the master leads the way, cultivation is up to each individual, isnāt that how everyone starts?
He entrusted the matters of the manor to Master Tianyao, Tie Dan was relieved and planned to go out of the mountains to experience trials, looking for some deserved people to kill for practice.
As soon as he stepped out, he encountered a group returning from training, it was none other than the women of the Shen Family.
"Greetings, True Man."
The eldest sister, Shen Yanyan, quickly paid respects, while the others remained silent with sour faces.
Tie Dan was unbothered, these people were forcefully brought here, of course, he just handed them over to Shen Yong to help at Hidden Sword Manor. After Tie Dan broke into their house without asking questions and forcibly kidnapped them, they naturally had no pleasant expressions, though they couldnāt defeat him, so they unwillingly stood outside to pay respects.
Tie Dan glanced at them,
"Hui Ming Zhan Tie is still training outside, I calculated, they might be stuck in a secret realm, but this trial is thrilling but not dangerous.
If you sisters have the skill, you might take the opportunity to break free and re-seal the Sword Soul.
This is their chance, do not interfere."
If Tie Danās calculations were right, Hui Ming Zhan Tie hasnāt returned probably because they encountered Zhu Ming Sword Lord in the Corpse Resolving Immortal Tomb.
After all, those three are treasure swords of the Sword Sect, both Nascent Soul and Chen Xuantian Tie Dan have a connection, even the boy they carry with them was chosen by the Corpse Resolving Immortal, by fate, they are bound to meet.
Itās just hard to say if they can escape, even though Zhu Mingās Treasure Sword has been sealed underground for years, and opened twice by Chen Xuantian and Tie Dan, thereās something hidden, itās no easy feat to pass this trial.
As for Hui Ming Zhan Tie, thereās no threat, a mere Golden Core sword sheath cannot contain the Sword Monarch, thereās no threat to their lives; the Sword Monarch would likely choose Nascent Soul as the sheath.
Nascent Soul is also well-grounded, with decent attainments in the Primordial Spirit Technique, whether they can subdue the Sword Monarch depends on their destiny.
If they canāt pass this hurdle, they are just that kind of people.
"Yes..."
Tie Dan specifically ordered and the women had no choice but to comply.
Tie Dan didnāt bother with them, calculated a direction with connection, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, another sword light flew over, and yet another from the Shen family hurriedly arrived, blocking the way.
"Tie... True Man, youāve emerged from seclusion..."
Seeing Shen Jianjiaās hesitant and dawdling appearance, Tie Dan felt irritated and frowned,
"Speak quickly."
Jian Jia bit her lip and brought out something from the Storage Jade,
"This, this is something I found with great effort during my training outside, here, for you, itās really sweet..."
Tie Dan thought it was some Spirit Fruit, but he saw it was just a persimmon and found it odd,
"What junk are you using to entertain me for! I donāt need it!"
Jian Jia was dumbfounded.
Tie Dan glanced at her and sneered,
"Mad Woman, youāve really regressed over the years, didnāt you say you wanted to kill me on Nine Yin Mountain back then. With your little ability now?
The Cloud Platform Competition is coming, what have you been doing? Not putting in hard work, just following a bunch of women to pick persimmons?
So sweet, have it for yourself!"
The group of women were furious, stomping, but the eldest sister held them forcefully back.
"Fine, fine... Iāll eat, Iāll eat..."
Jian Jia looked at Tie Dan and suddenly broke down, tears streaming down, laughing and crying, biting into the persimmon.
"...Crazy."
Tie Dan felt sick looking at her, got goosebumps, flicked his sleeve, and flew away in a Sword Rainbow.
Actually, Tie Dan had noticed during his seclusion that Jian Jia wandered outside his door almost every night, muttering about something. Initially thought she was secretly observing his barrier, preparing to break it and launch a sneak attack. But now it seems...is this guy really crazy?
No way, was the Three-Life Stone that terrifying? After half a year, still hasnāt recovered, messed up her brain?
Well, it seems thereās good reason the Mystic Sect doesnāt easily teach disciples the Primordial Spirit Technique. No matter how crazy or fierce one was before, once lacking power and weak in Daoist Heart, if one perishes in tribulation and the brain gets messed up, theyāll end up like a foolish sorrowful woman.
Tsk tsk, really looks bad.
Tie Dan shook his head, cast aside these miscellaneous trash like dust, and sped off towards the southeast.
Yes, after all this time, Tie Danās mind was still on Xuan Jizi!
Such a big treasure mountain! Itās all mine! All my opportunities!!
He rushed to the Gen Riverbank, from a distance he saw demon qi surging to the sky, scanned with divine sense, saw many mixed cultivators, rogue soldiers, and demons, fighting at the outskirts of the corpse mountain, competing for various exotic flowers and herbs, heavenly materials treasures.
