Return in full
Wuque wanted to forge Tian Lun in the Seamless World, so it was best to have Sword God guide him during his cultivation. They had just arrived at the Seamless Divine Domain, so they couldn't rashly go to the academy. The academy was a supreme sacred ground, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter.
Not to mention meeting Sword God Seamless. They were neither relatives nor friends, so they didn't have the honor to do so. How could they meet a Divine Master of a world just because they wanted to?
The paper crane in Ziyin's hand was left behind by an old friend. That old friend happened to be a sword cultivator from the Seamless World. He had suffered some injuries in his early years and had gone to the Kunlun Sea to seek treatment. He had also listened to Exalted One's preaching. He could be considered half of Ziyin's sect.
After Exalted One recovered, he returned to the Seamless World. Before he left, he left this paper crane for Ziyin, saying that if he came here one day, he could follow the paper crane to find him. Ziyin once thought that there was no chance. Who knew that he would be able to use an old friend's item today.
"Senior Brother's reputation is still great, making friends everywhere." Qin Hao felt at ease. Since there was someone to receive him, he had found a place to stay in the Seamless World.
"Stop flattering me, follow closely."
Ziyin poured his divine power into the paper crane, and it seemed to have turned into a living creature. It flapped its wings and flew with the crane crying.
Qin Hao put away the Exalted Cauldron, and the group followed behind Ziyin. They flew through countless majestic cities and finally arrived at a bustling area. The streets were bustling with activity, and cultivators flowed in an endless stream. With a casual perception, the weakest figure walking on the streets was at least an Imperial Master.
It seemed that the Imperial Dao had become a common existence here, just like the common people.
"Crane Manor?"
The paper crane fell from the sky and flew into a large manor. Qin Hao and the others retracted their auras and stopped in front of the manor's gate to wait.
"The owner of the manor is called Supreme Crane. He is in the Celestial Wheel Realm. We have come from afar, so please be polite." Ziyin reminded. Everyone nodded.
It wasn't long before a wave of movement sounded out from within the estate, and a large number of footsteps were rushing over here. As the estate door opened, a middle aged man with white hair, a youthful complexion, and a sage-like bearing walked out to greet them, and his body was suffused with an abundant aura of the Sword Dao.
"At first, I thought I was hallucinating. It wasn't until the paper crane flew to my hand that I suddenly woke up. It really is Brother Ziyin." The Crane Reverend smiled and cupped his fists.
"Brother He, long time no see. You're still as carefree and unrestrained as ever." Ziyin cupped his hands in greeting.
"Not at all, not at all. Everyone, please come in. Servants, prepare the wine." Senior Crane pulled Ziyin's arm and walked with him in a very enthusiastic manner.
At the rear, Qin Hao and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. At first, they were worried that there would be too many accidents and that their relationship might have become distant. Now, it seemed that they were overthinking. Supreme Crane's image was better than expected.
Stepping into the Crane Estate, the environment was elegant and unique. There were many pavilions and rare plants everywhere. From this, it could be judged that Supreme Crane's conditions were not bad.
"Brother Ziyin, we have not seen each other for more than ten thousand years. I originally thought that it would be difficult for us to meet again. What wind has blown all of you here today from the Kunlun Sea?"
In the main hall, Supreme Crane spoke and personally poured wine for Ziyin Clan Lord.
"To be honest, Brother He, I have a junior who is about to forge the Celestial Wheel. Because he cultivates the Sword Dao, he came to the Seamless World," Ziyin replied.
"I see."
Supreme Crane's expression brightened. His gaze swept around the people in the main hall, and finally fell on Wuque. "Well, eighth order Nirvana, and the precepts are about to be perfected. The next step is indeed to forge the Celestial Wheel."
"Senior, you have sharp eyes."
Wuque spoke. He was slightly surprised. He had deliberately concealed his aura, but Supreme Crane still saw through him at a glance. No wonder Supreme Crane was a Sword God of the Great Dao Sword Realm.
"My level is just higher than yours. Everyone, there is no need to be reserved. Please drink this cup." Supreme Crane raised his cup and toasted.
Everyone followed suit.
"Brother He, my junior's talent in the Sword Dao is extremely high. I don't feel at ease leaving him in the hands of ordinary Celestial Wheel experts. I wonder if Brother He has any connections with the Academy? Can you open a small door?"
Ziyin went straight to the point. Supreme Crane was from the Seamless World and had cultivated to the Sword God level. With his network, he should have some connections with the Academy.
"This …" Supreme Crane's smile froze, and he revealed a troubled expression. He said, "I'm not afraid of Brother Ziyin's joke. Among the many Celestial Wheel experts in the Seamless World, my strength is hardly presentable, especially in the Academy. The Academy stands at the core of the Divine Region, the sacred ground of the Divine Master's orthodoxy. It's not a place for a nobody like me to set foot in.
Hearing this, everyone in the Kunlun Sea was shocked. The "three lines" Supreme Crane was referring to was the Celestial Wheel of Time's Veins. Only those who had cultivated the Divine Path for more than thirty thousand years were qualified to set foot in the Academy.
Supreme Crane could not reach such a height.
Ziyin frowned slightly and said, "Do you know anyone in the Academy?"
"Well …" Supreme Crane hesitated. It seemed to be inconvenient.
"Oh, the day before we left the Kunlun Sea, we just made a cauldron of Divine Essence Pills. It's quite a coincidence that this cauldron of pills is fated to be with Brother He." Ziyin looked at Supreme God Taichu with a smile. "Bring the pills."
"Yes, Overlord."
Supreme God Taichu reached out his palm. With a flash of light, a small jade bottle appeared. Supreme God Taichu handed it to Ziyin solemnly. However, at this moment, Supreme God Taichu looked at Supreme Crane coldly.
"Brother He, take a look. There are ten pills in this bottle. They are all top-grade divine level pills. We haven't seen each other for ten thousand years. Why don't you try to see if my skills have deteriorated?" Ziyin held the jade bottle in front of Supreme Crane.
"How can I accept this?"
Supreme Crane's worried expression disappeared and was replaced with a smile. Although he refused, his hands were rubbing restlessly.
"Brother He, you don't have to be so polite. You've heard my father talk about Dao. You can be considered as half a disciple of the Kunlun Sea. These are pills made by your own family."
Ziyin directly handed the Divine Essence Pills to Supreme Crane and said, "It's about my junior entering the Academy. Thank you, Brother He."
Supreme Crane weighed the jade bottle in his hand and sighed deeply, "Good pills, good pills. The divine pills made by the Kunlun Sea were once famous. It's a pity that I don't have the fortune to enjoy this bottle of Divine Essence Pills."
After he finished speaking, he stuffed the bottle back into Ziyin's hand. Ziyin's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "What do you mean, Brother He?"
"It's not that I don't want to do it for you. My ability is limited. If Ziyin comes to talk about old times with me, I'll open the door to welcome him. But if you want me to send someone into the Academy, I'm sorry, I can't do it." Supreme Crane was indeed tempted by this bottle of Divine Essence Pills. However, there were some things that pills couldn't compare to.
"Supreme Crane, you've also come to the Kunlun Sea to ask for medicine. With your current state, I don't believe that no matter how Supreme Crane treated you, the Academy has nothing to do with how Supreme Crane treated you."
Taichu shouted. Since Supreme Crane was able to listen to Supreme Crane's talk about Dao, it meant that Supreme Crane was recognized by Supreme Crane and regarded as his disciple.
What about Supreme Crane?
Now that he was asked to do something, he was making excuses. Was his ability really limited?
Probably not.
"Taichu, back down." Ziyin's face darkened.
"Humph, I'm just stating facts."
Supreme God Taichu sat back down. The Chu Clan and Qi Zu didn't look good either. They knew that Zi Hua was good at judging people. After all, they were competitors of the same generation.
However, Supreme Crane seemed to be a hypocrite. He didn't take Kunlun Sea seriously at all.
"You really can't do it?" Ziyin asked.
"I can't do it." Supreme Crane casually threw the wine cup aside.
"Sorry to bother you." Ziyin stood up and walked out of the hall.
Qin Hao and the others saw this and stood up to leave.
When they were about to step out of the door, Ziyin turned around and said to Supreme Crane, "He Xun, when your sword spirit was damaged, it was my father who used divine materials to make pills for you for forty-nine years. That was how he healed your sword spirit step by step. He also taught you some methods of making pills so that you can recuperate on your own. Even if you don't care about what you did in the past, you should still be able to repay the divine materials we gave you in Kunlun Sea, right?"
"Thousand Flavors Spirit, Jewels, Longevity Zhi, Divine Ganoderma. These are the herbs, right? I'll return them all … Someone, go to the herb garden and get them the herbs." Supreme Crane suddenly stood up and shouted to the outside of the hall.
Soon, many people shuttled in and out of the hall. Every time they passed by Ziyin, they would throw a bunch of divine herbs. They were colorful and still wet with dew.
"Look, I just dug them out. They're still fresh. You can have as much as you want. Keep digging."
Exalted Crane yelled with a stern face. He had indeed received a favor from the Kunlun Sea. He remembered every single medicinal ingredient of the Kunlun Sea that he had eaten. After all, Exalted Crane had even given him the pill recipe.
However, this didn't mean that Kunlun Sea would grant him any request. He had to agree to anything.
Besides, Zi Hua had been dead for ten thousand years. Kunlun Sea wasn't as good as it used to be. It didn't even have a leader and its alchemy skills had declined. In the Untainted Universe, it probably couldn't even enter the second-rate plane.
Did He Xun need such a friend?
No, he didn't.
"Enough. Let's go."
Ziyin was very depressed. He didn't care about the divine herbs under his feet anymore. He knew that the seeds of these herbs were brought out from Kunlun Sea by He Xun. He Xun didn't just say that he could have as much as he wanted. He Xun's sword spirit was stabilized by these herbs.
"Brother Ziyin, have a safe trip. Come back when you have time."
He Xun glanced at the piles of herbs on the ground and said, "Throw them all out of the mansion. They can take it or not. I don't owe them anything."
"Yes, Supreme God."
The imperial servant of the He Mansion hurriedly picked up the divine herbs and ran after Ziyin and threw them all at the door of the He Mansion.
When Ziyin turned around, the scene made his blood boil. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Father, Deacon has been waiting for a long time."
In the quiet hall, there were dishes and wine, but they had lost their flavor. He Xun looked slightly tired as he glanced at the young man beside him. This young man had handsome features, and his eyebrows were quite similar to He Xun's. His body was overflowing with a powerful sword aura, and he was also at the eighth level of Nirvana Realm.
"Son, I'm doing this for you. Let's go and see Deacon Cui." He Xun walked to the back hall with his hands behind his back. The young man followed closely behind.
In the back hall, there was a majestic old man sitting there. Although he was sitting there quietly, he gave off an unshakable divine might. It was as if the sky would shake if he stood up. The divine will power he exuded was several times stronger than Deacon He's.
"What's the ruckus about?" the old man asked when he saw He Xun come in.
"It's just a small matter. I haven't seen anyone for many years and he wanted to cling to me, but I sent him away. Deacon, will the Supreme God come to this year's Law Tournament?" He Xun asked cautiously.
The old man glanced at He Xun and said, "Don't think too much about the Law Tournament. It's not something that He Can can participate in. It's a gathering of all the direct disciples of the Sect and the geniuses of the Shen Clan. If He Can participates, he'll be nothing but a speck of dust in the Law Tournament. Just let him be my sword servant."
"Yes, yes, yes," He Xun said hurriedly. His heart was in turmoil.
From Deacon Cui's words, the Supreme God attached great importance to this year's Law Tournament. It was probably due to the pressure from Rikujinjie and the True Dragon World. After all, Lu Qiu and Long Miao were too strong. Even in the Academy, they couldn't find a match for them.
Presumably, the Supreme God would use this Law Tournament to select one or two new disciples and focus on nurturing them. He didn't want this generation of geniuses from the Seamless Domain to be interrupted and suppressed by Rikujinjie and the True Dragon World.
However, just as Deacon Cui said, the Law Tournament gathered all the direct disciples of the top forces of the Seamless Domain, as well as the geniuses of the various Shen Clans. Even the Deacon of the Heavenly Dao outside the Prime World would send their heirs and successors to participate. Such a large scale and high quality battle was indeed not for He Xun's son to participate, because he wasn't qualified.
Unfortunately, although He Xun knew that the Supreme God would select a genius, the He Clan couldn't bring him out.
Unfortunately, it was also sad.
