Chapter 646: 235. Terror Descends, Encountering the Wilderness (7.0K words – Please Subscribe)_2

The enhancement of power indeed delayed Wa’s pace, and the effect was quite apparent.

This so-called Forbidden Talisman is not an inexplicable anomaly, there truly exists a mysterious presence behind it.

Suddenly, he thought of the “Celestial Venerable” Yun Zhaoxuan. The latter experienced the same situation as him, theoretically, they should be in the same predicament, yet he didn’t know how Yun Zhaoxuan was doing now.

…

…

Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace.

Great Hall.

Elder Dan quietly gazed into the distance, seemingly contemplating something, he appeared weather-beaten, looking weary, with a strange black smoke lingering around his purple robe, his arm bore unusual corrosive marks, evidently having returned from a great battle.

He was deep in thought with his eyes squinting until a silver-haired female cultivator approached from afar, snapping him back to reality.

Xiao Shuyu landed in front of the hall, glanced at Elder Dan, and said, “Has our war with the Demon Mountain Star Realm already commenced?”

Elder Dan dusted off the black smoke from his robe, yet it stubbornly lingered. He revealed a helpless expression, then said, “This involves more than just our Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace and the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace, more forces are engaged. Currently, we remain in the stage of mutual probing, but… it’s fast approaching.”

He immediately diverted from this topic, cheerfully asking, “How is the young Song? Has he brought me any surprises? If he can wield your power borrowed from the Extreme North Seven Stars, it would foresee his future strength.

That Corpse Buddha Body of his makes him exceptionally difficult to harm in major battles, coupled with the attacking power of the Extreme North Seven Stars, tsk tsk tsk… A person like that, if he becomes an opponent, just thinking about it gives one a headache.”

Xiao Shuyu thought for a moment, then replied with regret, “He is a good junior, I like him very much too.”

Elder Dan laughed, “For him to win your favor, it indicates he has Celestial Dao Talent.”

Xiao Shuyu lightly furrowed her brows and said, “It’s just that…”

After slight hesitation, she continued, “I taught him the Extreme North Star Pivot Storage Technique, and I could feel that he mastered this Secret Technique in a remarkably short time. This not only shows he has powerful Celestial Dao Talent but also that he shares a destiny with me. I was indeed delighted and even began to look forward to him displaying this power.

However, he suddenly stopped, then evaded the topic, claiming he was slow-witted, and saying he had obtained the Corpse Buddha Body, that he was on the brink of breaking through to the Profound Yellow Realm. Thus, his cultivation was interrupted, so I took him to the Lower Realm entrance, where he should now be observing his own world.”

Elder Dan was taken aback, repressing his smile, he said, “Do you think he stopped intentionally?”

Xiao Shuyu said, “I am extremely sensitive to that Star Domain, and I could sense he already linked up, and could borrow its power. He stood at the door, one foot already crossing the threshold, yet he stepped back. That was intentional.”

After speaking, the silver-haired female cultivator sighed softly.

Elder Dan pondered, suddenly saying, “He intentionally refrained from practicing because he perceived danger, and he could not convey this danger to us, thus he feigned ignorance, not knowing you are well acquainted with his progress. It seems that Wa Text Curse indeed poses significant harm to him…”

Xiao Shuyu did not refute this, and then asked, “Does Elder have a solution?”

Elder Dan chuckled, shaking his head, then said, “However, this matter might be leveraged; we can go with the flow, spreading rumors, claiming that the young Song is a Forbidden Talisman Container of Wa Text.”

“Forbidden Talisman Container?” Xiao Shuyu looked astonished, then quickly said, “That’s impossible, no one could become a Forbidden Talisman Container, and no one would believe it.”

Elder Dan’s eyes flashed, he said, “But he has Innate Taiyin Talent, while others can’t, why couldn’t he?

Someone with Innate Taiyin Talent like the Palace Master of the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace, coupled with an identity of a Forbidden Talisman Container, would indeed make him an even more attractive bait.”

Xiao Shuyu fell silent.

She knew, “If Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace tries its best to propagate it, then the identity of her disciple as a Forbidden Talisman Container would be almost certain, leading him into the eye of the storm in the future two-domain war.”

Elder Dan continued persuading, “Friend Shuyu, now, who knows the Demon Mountain Star Realm’s intentions, they seek the Three Realms Forbidden Register Xi Hou Wa, if successfully taken, the consequences would be unimaginable, the living beings might end up without a place to live.

This is also why after discussing with the Palace Master, we specially selected you as operatives.

If Song Yan gains another layer of identity as a Forbidden Talisman Container, he would serve as even better bait, and you, who were once his mentor, would hold even higher value.”

Only then did Xiao Shuyu nod slowly, saying, “Understood.”

She contemplated for a moment, then continued, “I have already taught him my primary means of attack, teaching more would instead lead him into a blind alley. As such, it’s time for me to set off…”

After saying these words, she paused briefly, then said, “I used to be too harsh on my disciples, always preaching that the Heavenly Dao is ruthless, and that humans should emulate the heavens. But that ultimately harmed them, led them to become self-seeking, fall into the evil path, and defect from the Myriad Swords Star Realm. Now, it’s time for me as the teacher to atone for those mistakes…”

Elder Dan suddenly grew nervous, “How did you teach the young Song?”

Xiao Shuyu said, “I told him there is love beyond the Dao, and that humans can triumph over heaven.”

The silver-haired female cultivator smiled, and her radiant smile carried a sense of expectation that was evident to anyone.

She had once been careless in teaching, resulting in grave mistakes, yet now she had a new disciple who was extraordinary with immense potential.

She was satisfied, ready to tread the stars regardless of the return.

Elder Dan bowed and said, “Take care.”

Xiao Shuyu chuckled freely, saying, “Take care.”

Silver light dispersed, and the graceful figure departed.
