Chapter 840 - 462: Silver Past and Golden Future
Anyway, amidst the awkwardness.
Li Ye kept thinking that as long as he had thick skin, it wouldn't matter.
He walked past the Sect Leader's meaningful, smiling gaze.
From top to bottom, he descended the steps.
Soon, he traversed the distant Celestial Palace and reached the summit of the Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.
A desolate land...
Clearly, this was the place where the entire Sword Mountain's Spiritual Qi converged, located deep in the Celestial Vein, yet it was barren; nothing could grow here.
If this place existed within the Four Seasons Sect, the disciple responsible might as well be planted inside a tree.
"As if the world had just been formed."
Miye gazed at Li Ye: "Actually, our Sword Mountain has another very important duty, which is to prevent unpurifiable evil from appearing in the world.
If such a thing were to truly appear one day.
There would be no remedy.
The Celestial Vein Sword Mountain would destroy the entire world, toppling the sins we have created.
At least it wouldn't threaten the chaos of the universe."
Oh.
So there's actually a world reinitializer here?
Li Ye looked around cautiously as he walked.
Who knew if the things the Sword Cultivators made were reliable or not, and accidentally stepping on one could be troublesome.
"..."
"Feel free to step around, your Ancestor Master personally tilled this land."
Miye couldn't bear to watch any longer.
This behavior might make people think the Sword Cultivators only knew how to patch broken arrays with rice paste.
"Oh."
Li Ye immediately became bolder.
"So, does that sword have anything to do with you?"
The Cosmic Qi Heaven-Covering Sword.
No matter how you look at it, it seems related to this Miye Celestial Venerate.
However, his credibility had truly hit rock bottom on Li Ye's side, so much that he wasn't even afraid of this Celestial Venerate anymore.
He even wanted to grasp his heart — literally.
"Yes." Miye nodded calmly, then looked at Wei Qingye: "But I have already handed the authority to him. He is the next Sword Elder."
With that said.
He sat down right beside them.
Speaking in a lighthearted tone: "This position has followed me for ten thousand years, and now finally someone can take over. I am very much looking forward to it."
"Are you willing?" Li Ye looked at Wei Qingye, speaking calmly: "If you are not willing, then I will not take this sword."
"What's there to be unwilling about?"
Wei Qingye laughed: "The Celestial Vein Sword Mountain is quite different from the outside world. The more capable you are, the more you can roam outside. After all, nothing can happen inside the Tao Furnace Realm.
So you can rest assured."
He closed his eyes, and suddenly countless strands of Sword Qi surged from his body, pouring into the barren land like a torrential rain, eroding and washing away the soil.
Thus, the true elements of Celestial Vein Sword Mountain were revealed.
Azure jade stones.
As blue as the sky.
Inside, liquid-like substances flowed, holy and transcendent.
Li Ye's pupils contracted for a moment.
That is... the blood of Heaven.
It's the true blood water of the Heaven itself.
In legend, such blood water possesses extremely potent abilities, enough to elevate a mortal instantaneously, considered a supreme treasure.
Even the Four Seasons Sect didn't have many in stock.
Yet to think that here, there would be the Azure Blood of Heaven.
"Surprised?" Miye Celestial Venerate gazed at the clouds that started swirling in the distance, speaking softly: "This is intimidation, deterrence... As long as the Sword Mountain remains here, even the Celestial Dao cannot have its way.
Because we could at any moment draw the Celestial Dao's blood or even destroy it."
It's crucial to know this place is at the breach of the Celestial Vein, capable of 'reaching directly to the heavens'; his voice, though light, exploded with the force of thunder.
The white clouds swept in, transforming into dark thunderclouds.
Silver serpents weaved through the dark clouds, bringing a terrifying pressure.
Like a besieging army, it surged in from all around, enveloping this mountain peak with deafening rumbles.
"See?"
"This is the genuine article, so it's agitated."
"How could it allow flowers to bloom from its blood?"
His tone was quite casual; as someone who genuinely helped this world to be born, the Celestial Dao seemed like nothing more than a disobedient child deserving a light spanking.
He even took out an ordinary wooden sword, seeming to gauge the best place to cut in.
"..."
"You really know how to talk, senior."
Li Ye sighed helplessly.
He reached out to grasp the Emotion Song.
Gently brought it to his lips and blew.
The Immortal Ribbon rose behind him, instantly transforming into thousands of rays, gentle light merging into the dark clouds, bringing sunshine to pierce the darkness.
"Would you give me face, please?"
He looked at the clouds: "I want my friends to help me, so I can truly stay in this world and not leave again."
"I'm willing to play the Emotion Song for you, to share your joys and sorrows, so that rains, snow, and frost become our breath, and the entire world is as bright and eternal as paradise."
Under the soothing melody and words, the surrounding dark clouds really began to disperse; theoretically, there shouldn't have been any sunlight, yet rays shone upon him.
Only upon him.
Warm and intimate.
"Tsk."
"Does everyone from the Su Xing lineage leave affection all over like this?"
"So disgusting, ugh..."
Miye was just about to make a few remarks.
"Boom!"
Purple-gold lightning directly struck down toward his head.
"Hey! How did it get angry!"
Miye casually grasped a wisp of light, transforming it into a sword blade and gently slashed it.
The river of light swallowed all the lightning, disappearing without a trace.
Li Ye sighed.
