Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Chapter 142: Gathering of the Six Parties

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

While Qin Yun and Hong Lingtong headed for Scenic Mountain Sect, the other five parties that possessed tokens were on the way as well. Some of them had already arrived in Scenic Mountain Sect.

On a cloud stood a stocky young man and a youth.

The youth whose waist hung a saber was smiling.

"Eighth Brother, I do not know anything about array formations. Seeing you eat and sleep before waking up to eat and then sleep every day, are you really that confident to handle the array formations set up by Immortal Scenic Yang? I have no idea what Patriarch is thinking to get me to go with you." The stocky man grumbled. "I think I would be more at ease if Second Grandpa was the one bringing me there."

"Don’t you worry. Second Grandpa is inferior to me when it comes to array formations. Just listen to me and nothing will go wrong." The youth sat cross-legged on a cloud. He took out packaged desserts from the Cosmic Bag by his waist and began eating them. "Besides, Eldest Brother, your ’Primordial Chaos True Body’ has cultivated to the sixth level. Your body resembles a Dharma treasure, so why should you be afraid of danger?"

"It’s better to be safe than sorry," grumbled the stocky young man immediately.

The youth shot a glance at his eldest brother.

Among the three Daoist sacred lands, the Primordial Chaos Sect followed the Physical Establishing Sage lineage. The eldest brother cultivated in the cornerstone Dharma formulation of the Primordial Chaos Sect, ’Primordial Chaos True Body’. He had also cultivated to the sixth level... It could be said that in the entire world, be it the imperial government’s Godfiend lineage, the Nine Lineage Fiendish Demons’s fiendish body cultivation formulations or the Four Seas’ Dragon race’s cultivation formulation, his eldest brother definitely stood atop everyone at the Connate True Core realm when it came to the strength of his physique.

"It’s just that you are too gutless," grumbled the youth. "Eldest Brother, on our expedition to Scenic Mountain Sect, there will be the royal family and other large family clans. Don’t you disgrace our Zhu family."

"I’ll follow your every instruction," said the stocky young man.

"Okay." The youth nodded.

The Yuan Prefecture’s Zhu family was also a thousand-year-old family clan. It was one of the handfuls of large family clans. It was in no way weaker than the Kunlun Prefecture’s Yi family or the Kong Prefecture’s Zhongli family. It was even possible that they were stronger! The reason was that the Yuan Prefecture’s Zhu family was a lineage of the Primordial Chaos Sect, one of the three Daoist sacred lands. Just like how the Yi family and the Divine Firmament Chapter shared the same roots, the Yuan Prefecture’s Zhu family children would typically enter the Primordial Chaos Sect.

Furthermore, the Zhu family children lived up to their expectations. Many of the Primordial Chaos Sect’s astoundingly mighty figures were from the Zhu family.

It could be said that about thirty percent of the disciples of Primordial Chaos Sect came from the Zhu family!

It had to be known that the Physical Establishing Sage Dharmic formulation was the strongest in the cultivation of one’s physique. It was more powerful than the Godfiend or Fiendcelestial lineages. The disciples from the Zhu family were also famous for their invulnerability.

...

Elsewhere.

Two women were traveling on a cloud. They were extremely beautiful but one of them leaned towards coldness while the other was a lot warmer.

"Sister, I wonder who the other five parties are." A red-dressed woman said with a smile. "This time, our Bai family has to think of means to obtain the Numinous treasure, Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet. Such a Numinous treasure would only be wasted if placed in the hands of the present Scenic Mountain Sect."

"Yea." A white-dressed woman had a cold expression but she said with a nod, "Back then, Perfected Scenic Yang was truly impressive but now, the Scenic Mountain Sect is way weaker than in the past. They would not be able to utilize most of its strength even if the Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet was given to them. In this world, the one who can control the Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet the best should be our Third Patriarch. With you and me joining forces and the treasures bestowed upon us by Patriarch, there is a chance for us to obtain the Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet."

Filled with fighting spirit, the red-dressed woman nodded.

The Bai family was the most ancient family clan in the world.

Legend spoke of... a time when the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure first preached the Dao on a nameless mountain, he handed down the Dao tradition, allowing Daoism to spread in this world. That nameless mountain then became Numinous Treasure Mountain. And the Bai family’s patriarch was one of those who had attended the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure’s teachings of the Dao. And despite a long time in between, the Bai family has been able to continue its lineage. It was the number one family in Numinous Treasure Mountain, the origins of Daoism.

Grand Dominance County was rather close to Vessel Altar County. Furthermore, Qin Yun’s usage of Sword Kinesis Flight was a lot faster at present. In less than an hour, they arrived at the foot of Scenic Mountain Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Qin," Daoist Yan flew over to welcome him warmly. "This must be fellow Daoist Hong Lingtong. To enter the Connate realm at such a young age, you truly make an old Daoist like me envious. People like us who have one foot in the coffin have one fewer day with each passing day."

’Isn’t the Scenic Yang Cave Abode opening? When the time comes, many manuals will be taken out. Fellow Daoist Yan, perhaps, you will have your strength improved, allowing you to enter the Connate Golden Core realm," said Qin Yun with a smile. "That way, you will have another two hundred years of lifespan."

Daoist Yan laughed till his mouth slanted. "Haha, I’ll count on your blessings. Let’s go. I’ll bring you in. Among the six parties... three have already arrived."

"Okay." Qin Yun and Hong Lingtong were led into Scenic Mountain Sect.

Scenic Mountain Sect was on high alert that day with numerous array formations activated.

Qin Yun and Hong Lingtong did not dare move around recklessly.

With Daoist Yan guiding the way, they soon came to an elegant garden. There were a few cultivators chatting idly in it.

"Oh?" Qin Yun noticed an elder at a glance. Similarly, the elder was looking at him too.

"This is the Yue Chapter’s incumbent Deacon Yuan." When Daoist Yan saw the situation, he immediately did the introductions. "Deacon Yuan, this is Jiang Prefecture’s Grand Dominance’s Qin Yun."

"Although I’m from the Yue Prefecture, I have heard of Qin Yun’s name. Despite being an itinerant cultivator without any sect, he managed to knock open the gate of immortality, and at such a young age...killed the three demon monarchs of Evil Dragon Mountain. Impressive." Deacon Yuan said with a smile. A middle-aged man beside him cupped his hands slightly. "Greetings fellow Daoist Qin, I’m Fang Yu."

When Qin Yun saw this, he immediately said, "Greetings Deacon Yuan and greetings fellow Daoist Fang. I’m Qin Yun."

Hong Lingtong also went forward to bow.

Both parties had a simple chat. Deacon Yuan and Qin Yun struck up a conversation pretty easily as both of them were sword immortals.

"On this trip to Scenic Yang Cave Abode, it appears you and I are the only sword immortals," Deacon Yuan said with a smile. "When the time comes, we can join forces. After all, the array formations set up by Immortal Scenic Yang are extremely impressive. Even if everyone works together, it will probably be fraught with difficulties. If we were to engage in internal strife, things would become even more dangerous."

"When the time comes, Deacon Yuan will be the one guiding juniors like us," said Qin Yun humbly.

He could tell at a glance that there was more than one person at the Connate Golden Core realm present.

As such, he naturally kept a low profile—I’m a junior, I’m only an Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador! By letting the other five parties lower their guard against him, it was possible that he might obtain even more treasures.

After some chatting, Qin Yun and Hong Lingtong went to a corner to wait.

"The Bai family is here. That is Numinous Treasure Mountain’s number one family clan, the world’s oldest family clan. It has also sent a Connate Golden Core cultivator." Hong Lingtong recognized the duo and said with a voice transmission, "A family clan has sent a Connate Golden Core to risk a trip into an immortal’s cave abode. The Bai family truly has deep roots."

"People like Deacon Yuan are also at the Connate Golden Core realm."

"Primordial Chaos Sect’s Zhu family have sent two at the Connate True Core realm. However, ignoring the Primordial Chaos Sect’s Eighth Zhu’s ability to forecast the past and future, just his skill in array formations is probably no less inferior to mine."

Hong Lingtong made a judgment with a voice transmission. "The royal family is here too. It is without a doubt the number one family clan in the world at present. I do not know that old man but from the looks of it, he has the strongest aura among the people here. He should be at the Connate Golden Core realm. The person beside him is Sixteenth Prince who Human Emperor favors a lot."

Qin Yun took a glance.

Sixteenth Prince was a thin and cold young man. He also looked at Qin Yun and his eyes remained cold and heartless.

"I heard that he is also pursuing Yi Xiao," thought Qin Yun.

"The Yi family is here as well." Hong Lingtong looked at the distant entrance. "The Yi family did not send anyone at the Connate Golden Core. Indeed, it appears that the Yi family only has one Connate Golden Core realm cultivator at present. They are unwilling to take the risk. Well, among the six parties... Yue Chapter’s Deacon Yuan, the royal family, and the Bai family have sent people at the Connate Golden Core realm. The Yi and Zhu family, as well as us, do not have anyone at the Connate Golden Core."

"The situation is still alright. We aren’t considered too weak," said Hong Lingtong with a voice transmission.

However, Qin Yun’s gaze had landed on a figure walking in through the entrance. The figure was none other than Yi Xiao.

"Miss Yi Xiao!" Sixteenth Prince shouted loudly as his expression was filled with passion.

Yi Xiao looked at Sixteenth Prince and nodded.

Following that, Yi Xiao walked towards Qin Yun, and he walked over to her. After being separated for four months, the both of them missed each other.

"Qin Yun."

"Yi Xiao."

The couple stood together as they looked into each other’s eyes in an obviously intimate manner.
