Chapter 818 - 815: Passing Down the Dao and Teaching

Yanqi Peak is a picturesque mountain peak, situated upon the second main peak, its vast expanse beyond imagination.

However, it is cold and quiet here, quite simple, because Sword Obsession never accepted disciples since the three disciples he once took in all died in battle against the Demon Path.

Sword Obsession wavered in his resolve to take disciples until Ye Fan appeared, giving him hope.

Thus, he began to take disciples once more.

Only a few outer sect disciples are responsible for cleaning here, but after cleaning, the outer sect disciples must leave Yanqi Peak and cannot stay overnight.

Such is the rule of Yanqi Peak.

Ye Fan and the other two found three rooms to settle in; truthfully, he looked down on Feng Shaohao. Clearly infatuated with Li’er, the two were just short of having a child.

Yet they still slept in separate rooms. If it were him, he’d have done it already; why all the fuss about rules.

The first day, Sword Obsession arrived. He explained some rules of the Infinite Sword Sect, and the three listened very earnestly. He said, "He Quan, though his skills are lacking, can use many means to mess with you here!"

"You three must be careful of everything!"

"Understood!"

The three nodded repeatedly.

If it were a life-threatening danger, Sword Obsession would definitely intervene, but for minor conflicts, he would not, as that is just his nature.

But Ye Fan was very confident. If there weren’t elder-level figures involved, he was not afraid of any third-sect disciple.

At this moment, Sword Obsession said to Ye Fan: "King of Heaven, come with me!"

"Yes!"

Ye Fan agreed immediately.

Although Ye Fan disliked being ordered around, respect for one’s mentor and the proper way was his duty, as Sword Obsession was now his teacher.

He followed Sword Obsession away.

At this moment, Sword Obsession asked him: "Disciple, do you know why I sought you alone?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said: "Disciple does not know!"

Sword Obsession said: "I have a reason for seeking you. Viewing all thirty-six Swordsmanship schools, your Swordsmanship is peculiar, belonging to none of them!"

"Tell me honestly, are you someone from beyond the heavens?"

Sword Obsession, being astute, could obviously see through everything.

Ye Fan knew that it was pointless to hide anything from a wise Martial Artist like Sword Master, and being an outsider wasn’t such a big deal.

Therefore, he said: "Master, I am indeed from beyond the heavens, from a Barbaric Land where a Divine Monarch is already a standout!"

"In the world I was born in, people are just primitive cultivators, practicing in a more brutal environment!"

Sword Obsession nodded and then said: "To have a talent like you in such a place, it seems that Barbaric Land is a unique location!"

"I accept disciples without inquiring about origins or birth, I ask about strength!"

"Actually, when I called you here this time, it was to inquire about your prowess. Why can’t I see through your strength?"

Sword Obsession was indeed puzzled.

Ye Fan said: "Disciple’s cultivation spans a thousand years, and I am at Ancestor Realm First Grade!"

"Ancestor Realm First Grade!"

Sword Obsession was immediately astounded. To reach Ancestor Realm First Grade with a thousand years of cultivation, Ye Fan was truly remarkable. Elite disciples only ranked in the top five could have Ancestor Realm cultivation.

But they were hundreds of years older than Ye Fan.

What an amazing feat.

For this reason, he said to Ye Fan: "Good, very good, indeed I have not misjudged you!"

"I am already old; there aren’t many days left for me to tread, even if I do, I cannot transcend the Martial Arts Continent. Since you’ve entered my Sword Dao!"

"My goal is but one, to revive Sword Dao, to save the world’s living souls; can you manage this?"

Sword Obsession stated his purpose.

Ye Fan said immediately: "I can do it!"

In the past, he was quite averse to such things, always talking about saving the world’s living souls, which was very off-putting. But now he understood what reality was.

Everything he did was for the so-called world’s living souls, wasn’t it?

With this in mind, Ye Fan agreed directly.

Sword Obsession said: "That is enough; your Sword Dao has already formed its own distinct lineage, forcibly integrating my Sword Dao"

"Might result in a mess, so in the future, I will only guide you in the profound truths!"

"Alright!"

Ye Fan agreed.

"Alright then, go on down! From tomorrow, I will begin esoteric teaching!"

Ye Fan descended immediately.

Sword Obsession said: "Brother, oh brother, you strayed into the Demon Path and can only hide in dark spaces; now there is yet another

Just like you, using Demon Technique!"

"What does all this mean for my Infinite Sword Sect, blessing or curse!"

Sword Obsession was deeply saddened.

Infinite Sword Ancestor had not emerged in over ten thousand years, and only Sword Obsession knew the reasons behind it all, because his brother discovered the Founder’s ruins.

He found a quick way to cultivate with demons and swords.

But his righteous path could never suppress his Demon Path, so the Infinite Sword Ancestor could only hide in dark spaces.

For a Sect Master, this is undoubtedly a great punishment.

Unfortunately, he must bear this punishment.

Sword Obsession discovered that Ye Fan was also such a person, yet he also found an important secret in Ye Fan, that Ye Fan could completely restrain the Power of Demon.

Thus, whether Infinite Sword Ancestor could emerge from dark spaces again, he pinned all his hopes on Ye Fan.

..

This marks the third month since arriving at the Infinite Sword Sect, during which Sword Obsession almost daily imparted esoteric teachings.

Teaching Feng Shaohao the Sword Dao of the Sword Sect but imparting to him only the profound truths, which also aligned with what Ye Fan sought.

In these three months, Ye Fan felt greatly affected.

He found his Sword Dao Power became even stronger, but he also discovered another secret, that his Power of Demon also grew stronger.

Fortunately, he could suppress his Power of Demon.

"Brother!"

Feng Shaohao arrived, calling to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was just descending from a lofty pine tree and said to him: "Not practicing sword today?"

Feng Shaohao said: "Idle today,

I thought of inviting Brother to take a stroll down Yanqi Peak!"

Staying on Yanqi Peak all the time was hard even for someone as steady as Feng Shaohao, so he wanted to invite Ye Fan for a walk.

As for Li’er, she was in seclusion, aiming to break through to Half-step Ancestor Realm, as only by doing so could she become a true disciple of Sword Obsession.

Ye Fan said: "It’s too dull at the foot of the mountain, go ahead and stroll by yourself! Come find me if there’s anything!"

"Alright!"

Feng Shaohao knew that his brother Ye Fan was a very unique person, so he didn’t extend his invitation further, and went to the mountain foot by himself.

Ye Fan gazed at the skies, realizing that he had been on the Martial Arts Continent for several years now, originally thinking that breaking through to Ancestor Realm would mean he no longer feared the Netherworld Clan.

But now he understands that breaking through to Ancestor Realm is far from enough; once he comprehends the profound truths of this world, he will know that it’s almost time to go back.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to go back now, but he simply doesn’t know the way back. This is a unique world; once descended, returning becomes difficult.

Because the exit of the sky can’t be found.

To leave this world, only the Transmission Array of the Sword God Temple can suffice, but the Sword God Temple is located in the Holy Land of the Sword Sect. With his current strength and status, entering the Sword God Temple is a very tough challenge.

However, Ye Fan also developed an idea, or rather, a ambition, and that ambition is to subdue the Sword Sect of the Martial Arts Continent.

He would gain an immensely terrifying power, and even if he encountered those super races in the future, he could vie with them.

Of course, this is merely his ambitious thought; to control such a power is an extremely challenging endeavor, even the Sword Ancestor could merely call upon the Sword Sect.

And not control, for the Sword Ancestor is a Ninth Grade Ancestor Realm existence!
