Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 237 - 148: The Immortal Accepts a Disciple, Qingchan’s Family Background
Su Huan reached out with a grasp that seemed to capture the void, causing the five-colored true energy throughout the sky to combine into a mysterious forbidden technique, the Qianyuan Five Qi Earth-Departing Flame Light Gang Qi, which rapidly transformed into a Gang Qi True Dragon soaring into the sky.
"Roar!"
The dragon-shaped Gang Qi roared like a true dragon. Upon contact with the sword dragon, it exploded with a thunderous boom, scattering flame energy all over the sky, and countless sword lights shattered into fragments, dispersing into innumerable tiny sword qis.
At the same time, the second brother once again activated his mana. The five-colored true energy gathered once more, condensing into hundreds of meters long Gang Qi Fire Eagles, Gang Qi Fierce Tigers, and Gang Qi Flood Dragons, which pounced from all directions into the sky.
Fang Yunan’s face slightly changed. While fiercely attacking with his twin swords, he also brought out a defense treasure to withstand the impact.
At this moment, an invisible wave swept across the heavens and earth, causing the kilometer-long sword dragon and various Gang Qi manifestations to vanish as if erased from existence in an instant.
The three Loose Immortals still engaged in battle changed their expressions, swiftly put away their treasures, and bowed with hands cupped:
"We are unaware of which senior has graced us!"
Su Yu was equally astonished, looking around in surprise until he suddenly turned his head to see an elder in a gray robe walking toward him, treading on the void.
Bai Yuan Sword Saint (Mythical): Level 326, Celestial Immortal, Saint among swords.
Attributes: ???
He hurriedly bowed down:
"Junior Su Yu of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect greets the Bai Yuan Sword Saint!"
Surrounding cultivators swiftly descended, each bowing in greeting.
Bai Yuan Sword Saint paid them no heed, only looking toward Su Yu, and said in a deep voice:
"I observed your performance in the Sword Palace, quite impressive. I wish to take a disciple to inherit my legacy. Are you willing to become my apprentice?"
As soon as these words fell, everyone was stunned, revealing expressions of disbelief and extreme envy.
Only Fang Luochuan, after a shock, showed full unwillingness on his face:
"This cannot be, I refuse. This should have been mine."
But at this moment, no one paid attention to him.
The much-noticed Su Yu also displayed a hint of surprise, then a touch of ecstasy, which he quickly suppressed as his expression became solemn and silent.
If not for the reminder of his sword heart, he might indeed have been ecstatic, but...
The Supreme Emotionless Sword Chapter, which severs the seven emotions and extinguishes the six desires, follows the path of emotionlessness.
This path is very powerful, after all, it comes from cutting off all desires.
However...
"This is not my path."
Logically speaking, given Su Yu’s current cultivation, the grand path of the future seemed too distant and out of reach, but when Su Yu thought of severing the seven emotions and extinguishing the six desires to cultivate an emotionless grand path, he faintly sensed in his heart that this was definitely not his path, not suitable for him at all.
He himself was not willing to follow the emotionless path.
The seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire.
The six desires: desire of sight, desire of hearing, desire of smell, desire of taste, desire of touch, desire of intention.
What he was unwilling to abandon was not just the Vast Sea and Qingchan; love is merely a part of the seven emotions, which also include familial love, friendship, and so on.
What meaning would there be in cultivating to the point of being without emotion and desire?
Upon careful consideration of his deepest inner thoughts, the young man saluted Bai Yuan Sword Saint with a cupped fist and said solemnly:
"The privilege of being noticed by a senior is an extreme honor for me, but I must ask myself honestly, there are too many things in this world I cherish. I am unwilling to follow the emotionless path, and I have just received supreme inheritance from the Sword Palace, making it difficult to take on the senior’s legacy!"
Upon his words, countless faces showed stunned expressions.
Bai Yuan Sword Saint, however, remained expressionless. He extended his right hand as a sword-shaped stream of light appeared, and he continued:
"I have a supreme sword manual, a Tier Ten Immortal Sword, and a Tier Ten Treasure. If you enter my school, they will be given to you. Are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Supreme Emotionless Sword (Tier Ten): Divine Weapon, Rare Treasure, an Immortal’s companion sword.
Attributes: Attack 18000-24000, Attack Speed 12500-15000, Sword Control Speed 13000-16000, Sword Formulas Enhancement 150%, Traits: Armor Penetration +10, Piercing +10, Supreme Emotionlessness, Sentient.
Equipment Requirements: Foundation Establishment, Cultivation of the Supreme Emotionless Sword Chapter reduced by 50%.
Su Yu opened his mouth, eyes showing a yearning look.
These attributes are explosively powerful, and currently equipping it could definitely take on a typical Loose Immortal head-on.
However...
Though envious, Su Yu did not change his decision, still firmly resolved, and shook his head with difficulty, saying:
"The senior misjudges me, the junior will not change my decision."
Bai Yuan Sword Saint showed a hint of surprise but was not displeased with his refusal. Instead, he revealed an appreciative expression and nodded:
"My legacy requires adherence to one’s true heart. Since you are unwilling, let it be!"
With that, he waved his wide sleeve and turned to leave. At this moment, Fang Luochuan shouted loudly from a distance:
"Sword Saint, would you consider accepting me as a disciple?"
When the Sword Saint’s gaze turned toward him, he immediately knelt down, shouting loudly:
"Junior is not without talent and has also grasped Sword Intent, willing to inherit the senior’s legacy!"
However, Bai Yuan Sword Saint merely glanced at him before looking away, ignoring him completely as he stepped out and vanished without a trace.
"Oh ho!"
"What a disgrace."
As the Sword Saint disappeared, the numerous onlookers stared at the kneeling Fang Luochuan, his face flushed, with odd looks.
At this moment, Fang Yunan and Fang Yuliang finally realized what their son had done. Seeing the curious gazes of the crowd, they were deeply ashamed and hurriedly left with their son, not caring about the unfinished battle.
With their departure, the fight could not continue. Seeing that everyone’s attention was on Luo Chuan, Su Huan also said to them:
"Let’s go as well, to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Alright."
Luo Qingchan summoned the Jade Sinking Ship, and the three of them jumped aboard. They cupped their hands to those around them as the Flying Ship soared into the sky.
With so many people entering the Sword Palace together, only the two of them got the best rewards. There could be narrow-minded individuals trying to meddle.
Second Brother is indeed quite formidable, but he is alone. Here, there are many Loose Immortals, and if more join in to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be easy to handle.
An hour later, the Jade Sinking Ship had moved far from this sea area.
On the deck, once Second Brother listened to Su Yu’s introduction, he fully understood the benefits they acquired inside the Sword Palace and excitedly clapped his hands, saying:
"Miss Qingchan was right. You don’t need to worry about whether you can cultivate; you just need to choose the strongest. Any other issues your sect can help resolve."
"If your master doesn’t have money, you can ask your grandmaster. I remember that the head of Xuankong Mountain is your grandmaster. If they know you have obtained the Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance, they will definitely be willing to help you gather the cultivation conditions."
Second Brother got more excited as he spoke, clenching his right hand into a fist and repeatedly pounding his palm, looking even more thrilled than he was.
"Moreover, little brother, since you’ve obtained the Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance, you should consider the true inheritance of Xuankong Mountain at least a sect-level Qi Refining Heart Skill to match this supreme sword skill."
"When you return to the sect this time, you can ask your master if you can apply for the Xuankong Mountain sect’s inheritance trial."
"Now?"
"Of course, now. The sooner you switch, the better."
"I’ll go back and ask."
"Don’t be shy or hesitant. Each branch of the sect has a limited number of supreme inheritances. If you apply later and someone else gets it first, no matter how strong you are, you won’t get a spot. You’ll have to wait a few more years to apply again, wasting years for nothing."
"Got it."
Second Brother finished his advice and turned back, pondering what else to be mindful of.
At this time, some of the excitement within him had subsided, but he was still quite exhilarated.
Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance? Even his master hadn’t seen it, let alone himself. Who would have thought his own brother could comprehend Sword Intent and receive the Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance? What does this mean?
This means his brother’s talent in the Sword Dao is extremely strong, beyond his imagination, akin to the potential of an Earth Immortal, to put it bluntly.
Yes, the potential of an Earth Immortal.
Being so young and having mastered Sword Intent is enough to show extremely high talent.
The Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance is enough to fully unleash this Sword Dao talent.
Based on these two points, the first Celestial Tribulation should not be very difficult for him.
It’s not that the first Celestial Tribulation isn’t hard, but with this talent and the Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance, he’s bound to receive strong support from Xuankong Mountain’s lineage.
With cultivation, strength, and magical treasures, the difficulty of crossing tribulation will significantly decrease, and he’ll naturally pass easily.
After achieving Loose Immortal, personal effort counts less; cultivation skill level and seizing opportunities count more. He has both of these.
By methodically working step by step to improve cultivation, the prospect of becoming an Earth Immortal is promising.
He couldn’t guarantee if his brother could reach that level, as the time and level span is too great. Who knows what will happen after so many years? But he was sure his brother’s chances of reaching that level were far higher than his own.
"If little brother can keep up, our Su Family might be able to produce an Earth Immortal, or at least a top-grade Loose Immortal."
He rubbed his hands excitedly, ready to discuss with Su Yu, and then froze the next second, blinking with an auntie-like smile on his face:
"Well done, kid! You got it done so quickly, quite at my level."
Clicking his tongue, he turned and went inside the cabin.
On the other side of the deck, Su Yu sat shoulder to shoulder with Luo Qingchan. The young man held the girl’s fragrant shoulder, her small soft hand in his other hand, gently kneading it, and softly called out:
"Qingchan!"
"Hmm!"
Su Yu gazed deeply at the girl’s exquisite and flawless face, softly asking:
"Would you be my Dao partner? I’ll propose at your home after my cultivation has borne fruit." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"I would!"
The girl’s bashful blush surpassed all else.
Su Yu smiled, studying the girl’s shy face closely, his fingers lightly touching her fair skin as he leaned in for a kiss.
Once declared in the Sword Palace, it all naturally came to pass.
After the kiss, they continued sitting together, enjoying the scenery and chatting to learn about each other’s situations.
Su Yu took the initiative, wanting to understand each other’s family situations and discuss future plans.
Luo Qingchan didn’t hide it, and for the first time, she narrated her family’s situation in detail.
The more Su Yu listened, the more shocked he was, his mouth opening wider and wider.
When she finished, he exhaled deeply, looking at her with a complex expression:
"With such a family background, marrying you won’t be easy. I’m afraid even stepping across your family’s threshold is difficult!"
Luo Qingchan pretended to be angry, giving a light humph:
"What, are you scared? Or do you regret it?"
Su Yu pulled her into his arms, smiling:
"Nonsense, how could I be scared? So what if it’s an Immortal family? If others can become Immortals, so can I."
