Chapter 23 Getting Started
In the Sword Character Immortal Palace, the founding father of Sword Character and the Xuan Nyu Fairy were chatting in the hall of the Imperial Palace, and the Hunyuan Sword Immortal stood on the side. At the same time that Lyu Liang stimulated the devil thunder attack, the three faces changed. They then disappeared in the same place.
…
At this time, within the mysterious stone hall, smoke and dust were everywhere. Even the old man on the middle platform fell to the ground.
When the horrible pressure appeared, Shangguan Ying still used the Body Enforcing Talisman although her place would not be affected, because she was holding the Emperor Devil Pearl of Lyu Liang’s mother in her hand! There couldn’t be any mistakes!
“Lyu Liang! Where are you!! Answer me!!!” Shangguan Ying’s tone had changed a bit. At this time, under the influence of the Immortal Extermination Pill, she lost her Primordial Qi. If not looking at her Divine Sense, she was just like a mortal.
For the first time, Shangguan Ying felt helpless. At this moment, she was no longer that girl blessed by heaven. She was like a little woman waiting for the message of her husband’s life and death. She was trapped in endless bewilderment and helplessness.
“Here, here… Ouch! This stone is quite heavy!” Not far away, Lyu Liang’s hoarse voice sounded. But in the ears of Shangguan Ying, it was almost the same as the voice of heaven.
The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Lyu Liang, who was sitting down on the ground. He was struggling to remove a piece of stone pressed against his leg. At this moment, the Devil Qi on his body dissipated, and he was no different from a mortal.
Shangguan Ying was overjoyed, and she couldn’t care about being reserved anymore. She quickly flew to Lyu Liang and carefully helped him up. “How, is there an injury?”
Lyu Liang blinked at Shangguan Ying, and said, “They are coming, keep my secret!” At the same time, three figures appeared in front of the two. They were the founding father of Sword Character and the other two.
Looking at the situation in front of him, the founding father of Sword Character frowned and wanted to speak. But Lyu Liang spoke first, “Seniors, we are fine. Now under the broken platform in the center of the stone hall, lay the real Immortal Danyuan. His breath is extremely weak, hurry and save him first!”
“What! Junior Brother Danyuan?” Hunyuan Sword Immortal was shocked. He had long felt that there were four auras here, three people’s and one demon’s. Among them, one individual’s breath was the weakest, and not far from the soul-shattering and vanishing. But no one thought that this person was Immortal Danyuan who stood with them before in the apprenticeship ceremony!
Without hesitation, Immortal Hunyuan had already flown over. He, together with Immortal Fuyuan, Immortal Danyuan, and Immortal Zhenyuan were the only four pro-disciples of the founding father of Sword Character. In the Immortal Palace, the four of them were very close to one another. At this moment, when he heard Immortal Danyuan’s life was on the verge of death, he could care about nothing else.
“Ahh, it is the Immortal Extermination Pill, this kind of evil pills!” The founding father of Sword Character frowned. Then his palm turned over, and two medicinal pills with a golden luster were taken out. He gave them to Lyu Liang and Shangguan Ying. “You two, take this medicinal pill, your cultivation and Primordial Qi should be restored as soon as possible.”
Lyu Liang recognized it at a glance. This was the antidote the King of Medicine had given to him in the past. Immediately, two of them took the pills and began to work on their Mind Mantra.
After a while, both their cultivation and Primordial Qi were restored. At this time, seven figures who were emitting strong auras appeared in the stone hall. They were the remaining seven Fairy Immortals of the Sword Character Immortal Palace.
The founding father of Sword Character coldly glanced the crowd who had just arrived, and asked in a deep voice, “Where is Danyuan? Why is he not here?”
The seven men looked at each other. One of the black-faced middle-aged men wearing blue robes replied, “Master, Senior Brother Danyuan had rarely appeared since he started the closed door meditation to refine pills thousand years ago. Just now we went to find him, but he was not in the pill room. So only seven of us came.”
“Argh! For a thousand years! Your peer had been secretly substituted and harmed, and you don’t know?!” An invisible murderous aura emanated from the founding father of Sword Character. The seven Fairy Immortals in front of him were so shocked that they did not even dare to breathe.
“Master! Junior Brother Danyuan is still alive! I used the Reincarnation Pill to stabilize his aura so it would no longer collapse! Junior Brother Zhenyuan, there are still a few small restrictions in his body that have sealed his Qi Meridian, and you need to get rid of it as soon as possible!” Hunyuan Sword Immortal helped the old man to come to the front of the founding father of Sword Character, and his voice was full of joy.
“Good! Zhenyuan, you go and take a look. If there is any difficulty, then discuss with me. The others, you can all go back together. My junior sister and I would stay here. We still have some things to learn from the two juniors.” The tone of the founding father of Sword Character eased a lot, and the Fairy Immortals were relieved.
Subsequently, the Fairy Immortals bowed to the founding father of Sword Character and the Xuan Nyu Fairy. Then they all drifted away. Although they also wanted to know the ins and outs of things, obviously, this was not the right time.
The founding father of Sword Character waved his hand, and a golden light curtain shrouded the entire stone hall. At the same time, his eyes stared at Lyu Liang. He said one word by word, “I have laid down the Bounded Domain. Now, describe everything that happened here. If there is anything untruthful, I will let your soul shatter and vanish!”
At this time, Lyu Liang and Shangguan Ying’s cultivation and Primordial Qi had been restored. Lyu Liang’s cultivation at early-stage of Foundation Establishment was revealed, and this was also a trick he had in his mind. After all, it was impossible to hide everything. In front of him, there were two Almighty Immortals, who were not so easy to fool. Therefore, it was better to reveal a little so that people feel natural simply.
“Yes! Two ancestor seniors, please hear me report truthfully…” Lyu Liang kowtowed a few times with respect and then began to describe everything after entering the trial field.
In Lyu Liang’s description, he first killed a yellow-haired bear demon, and then found two Bottleneck-breaking Pills in his cave. And he happened to be at the bottleneck of the Peak Qi Refining Period. Relying on one of the Bottleneck-breaking Pills, he actually broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage successfully!
Later, he came to the tiger demon’s place, and the result was what just happened. Of course, the protagonist of killing the enemy was naturally Shangguan Ying. As for how to destroy a big enemy in the Late-stage of Nascent Soul, Lyu Liang explained that he had a chance to get a one-time demolishing treasure. It was said that the treasure was comparable to the power of one strike by a Fairy Immortal. He used it, and the result was really good.
Regarding the things of the Demon Emperor Horn, Lyu Liang did not hide anything. Although Black’s meaning was that this thing had a great use, Lyu Liang knew the right choice to make. This thing was not an ordinary treasure at first glance. As far as the level of his own Foundation Establishment was concerned, besides the possibility of causing unnecessary murder, he most probably could not get benefits from it for a while. It was better to be honest and hand over it to the Almighty Immortal so that he would not have to worry about it.
When Lyu Liang took out the Demon Emperor Horn, the eyes of the two Luo Almighty Immortal beamed. Then they looked at each other in the eyes. When they looked at Lyu Liang again, their eyes were already soft and with a trace of commendation.
Lyu Liang was secretly happy, it seemed that this move was right! As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot! Lyu Liang became determined and kowtowed five times against the founding father of Sword Character, he looked up and said, “As a younger generation I am from the Siji Village of Qingluo Town of Diqiu Country of the Wufang Territory, and there was only one father in the family. This time, I came to join the Sword Character Immortal Palace. I don’t know how long it will be until the end of the first month of the second test. I want to ask the Ancestor to let us continue our test! I will still kill only the demon beasts, and will never bully the Qi Refining cultivators!”
“Master, can you help and do a favour for him, can he directly enter the Sword Character Immortal Palace? If it weren’t for him, I would have died with my souls shattered and vanished.” In the mind of the Xuan Nyu Fairy, Shangguan Ying’s slightly trembling voice was passed over.
“Hmmm?” Xuan Nyu Fairy deeply glanced at her precious disciple who already blushed. She smiled cunningly and looked at the founding father of Sword Character.
The founding father of Sword Character was about to answer the question of Lyu Liang. Suddenly, he paused for a moment. A smile emerged on his face, “Lyu Liang, if you just wanted to enter the Immortal Palace directly by using this as a jetton, even if I agree, I will be very disappointed. However, it is rare that you know how to advance and retreat at such a young age. In addition, you may not know the use of the Demon Emperor Horn, but you can give it up without hesitation. It can be seen that your mind is quite decisive.”
The founding father of Sword Character did not pick up the Demon Emperor Horn but nodded slightly. Then he looked Hunyuan Sword Immortal on the side, and announced, “Hunyuan, from today onwards, Lyu Liang will be the inner disciple of the Sword Character Immortal Palace. The test behind will not be necessary.”
“Yes, I would follow the master’s instructions! Lyu Liang, from today onwards, you will be the white-robed disciple in the Immortal Palace. I will pass you the palace rules later, and then let you choose a teacher.” Later, Hunyuan Sword Immortal’s gentle voice sounded. Lyu Liang’s body couldn’t help but tremble a bit, he finally succeeded!
“According to what you just said, what you are majoring in seems to be swordsmanship. Now show me your strongest swordsmanship. I will help you to set a range of choices of Masters.” Hunyuan Sword Immortal raised his hand. The formerly ruined clothes on Lyu Liang became a brand new white robe with the symbol of the Sword Character Immortal Palace.
Lyu Liang was also unambiguous. He waved both styles of Heart Swordsmanship at the same time. Seeing that, Hunyuan Sword Immortal nodded, and said with approval, “Very good! You are able to understand Sword Essence at such a young age, and to create your own moves! In time, maybe the Immortal Palace can have another powerful figure on the kendo! If you have other moves, show them together.”
Hearing the praise of the Hunyuan Sword Immortal, even if Lyu Liang was low-key, he couldn’t help but feel complacent. “In this case, I still have two more moves. Seniors, please watch!”
During the speech, Lyu Liang raised sword Feiling. He ran on the Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and displayed the Unification Move and Wind-dodging Move at the same time. Then he stood up and waited for the judgment by Hunyuan Sword Immortal.
However, Lyu Liang did not receive Hunyuan Sword Immortal’s compliments. When he looked up at the three ancestors, he was shocked immediately.
At this moment, out of the three seniors, the Hunyuan Sword Immortal was full of doubt and pointed at Lyu Liang with surprise, unable to say a word. Not far away, the founding father of Sword Character, his eyebrows raised upright, fierce eyes rounded, staring at the Feiling sword on the hand of Lyu Liang. As for the Xuan Nyu Fairy, she was already trembling, and Lyu Liang even saw tears in her eyes, the tears that seemed to pour out at any time!
