Volume 7: Anping City Chapter 23: The Talented Immortal

  The dwarf elder held a wine gourd, even the beautiful wine of the Xian family was forgotten, and he stared at the beast skin youth in front of the stone wall below, the sword intent on the beast skin youth's body was so strong, constantly corresponding to the row of large characters shining brightly on the stone wall.

  "Passing down through generations!"

  "It's the Northern Journey senior who is imparting his sword intent, and looking at this beast skin kid, it seems he accepted it very easily, obviously also having a true sword immortal heart." The short old man took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and immediately turned his head to directly transmit his voice, "Dian Cai Shidi, quickly come over here and die for me!"

  "Come and die quickly!"

  "Come and die quickly!"

  The sound pierced through the void, through layers of prohibition, and directly entered the ears of a black-robed, black-haired man who was sitting cross-legged on a jade bed.

  "Huh?" The black-robed, black-haired man opened his eyes and showed a hint of puzzlement, then suddenly understood, "It seems that Fifth Crazy Senior Brother has survived the great calamity that occurs once every 900 years, and he looks quite excited."

  The man in black robes and with black hair immediately took a step forward and disappeared into the house.

  Night sky.

  A man in a black robe with black hair stepped on the void, each step spanning hundreds of miles. If one didn't look closely, he seemed to not exist in the world.

  "Madam Wu." The man in black robes with black hair said.

  The dwarf elder took a glance, blinked his eyes, and muttered: "You freak, your strength is getting stronger and stronger. It's been over a hundred years since I last saw you, and your strength has already reached this level. You are the most promising one to become a celestial being since I entered the Black and White Academy."

  "The path of the heavenly immortal is how difficult, we can only do our best and fight with all our might." The black-robed man with black hair smiled and said, "Junior brother has not yet congratulated Fifth Crazy Senior Brother on passing through another 900-year calamity."

  "I'm calling you, not asking if you can become an immortal." The old dwarf pointed downwards, "You quickly take a look."

  The talented and immortal looked down from above.

  Below the square, there were two people. One was contemplating in front of a black and white picture stone wall, obviously gaining a lot. The other stood in front of a stone wall with a fairy's inscription. On that stone wall, a line of words shone brightly, each word shining brightly, dazzling to the eye. At the same time, it emitted a strong and profound sword intent.

  With a three-foot sword in hand, I'll eliminate all injustices and leave words behind as I head north!

  "Northern Journey's predecessor is a transgenerational inheritance?" The Temple of Talents' immortal was taken aback.

  As the once-in-a-million-year peerless genius of Heibai Academy, he is also the most promising candidate to become a Tianxian in the current era. Diancai Xianren had also received the intergenerational inheritance from 'Beixing Xianren' when he first entered the academy.

  "You also inherited the sword intent of Beihang's seniors back then." The old dwarf said with a smile.

  "Hmm." The Celestial Master gazed intently at the beast-skin clad youth below.

  His eyes were very focused.

  He was carefully observing this young man with beast skin.

  "Who is he?" asked Dian Cai Xianren.

  The dwarf elder knew that the fairy was asking about the young man in animal hide below, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just happened to see him as soon as I came out of the pass. Then immediately called you over. However, today is the day our Academy accepts new disciples, this young man in animal hide should be a newly admitted disciple, right?"

  The talented immortal nodded slightly.

  Everyone in the upper echelons of Heibai Academy knew that since Dian Cai Xianren had received the sword intent inheritance from "Bei Hang Senior" when he first entered the sect, and after learning about Bei Hang Senior's deeds, he had been extremely reverent towards Bei Hang Senior. Moreover, as a disciple of Bei Hang Senior, he demanded himself to crazily seek out everything related to Bei Hang Senior, seeking his sword techniques...

  Even followed some of the places where Beihang seniors had been before, tracing their footprints.

  In this process, Dian Cai Xianren's strength also became increasingly powerful. He can be called another 'Northern Expedition Senior'. Recognized by other Xianren of the Black and White Academy as the most promising to become a Tianxian.

  "How about it, can you be my disciple?" The short old man smiled as he held the wine gourd. He tilted his head and took two sips, this was the first time the master had ever taken a disciple, because the master had once said... only those who could accept the isolated sword intent of the Northern Expedition's predecessor could possibly become his disciple.

  The palace's talented immortal has been cultivating for less than a thousand years now.

  Able to sense the specialness of this line of words, there have been quite a few in the past thousand years. However, those who can obtain the sword's intent and inheritance are none.

  "He's not bad." Dian Cai Xianren nodded slightly, "But whether or not to accept him as a disciple, I still need to take a good look at him."

  "You're really demanding." The old dwarf shook his head.

  The palace talent immortal didn't say a word, but instead focused on staring at the beast skin youth below.

  Silently watching...

  Suddenly——

  "Hum~~~" Below the stone wall, a line of words "Hand holding three feet sword. Killing all unpeaceful things, going north to leave words" originally burst out with a sudden surge of light, and even a few scattered words emitting light flew out of the stone wall, only to see these light words "hand", "hold", "three"... all suspended in mid-air.

  Every floating light character, seemingly a word, yet every stroke is like a sword shadow. As if countless sword shadows gathered to form a word.

  "The Three Feet Sword Technique, the complete Three Feet Sword Technique." Dian Cai Xianren's eyes lit up instantly, revealing a look of surprise and delight.

  "The sword technique, that legendary three-foot sword!" The short old man was no longer unbridled, his eyes filled with surprise and fervor.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Almost simultaneously, three figures appeared in the night sky. One was an old man with a high crown and a majestic aura, who seemed to be an emperor wherever he went, naturally affecting the surroundings. Another was a delicate child emitting endless cold air, but his eyes were extremely ancient. There was also a tall and strong man wrapped in chains.

  The three of them stared down below.

  "Three-foot sword."

  "The three-foot sword, sees the sky and sun once more!"

  "My Black and White Academy has another exceptional disciple." The three of them looked at Ji Ning below with eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

  Everyone from the talented and immortal to the short and old are all staring downwards.

  All five of them looked down, each one silent.

  Whoosh!

  Another figure emerged, a youth in white clothes who was stunningly handsome to the point of being otherworldly. The youth in white appeared and first respectfully said, "I have seen all of you, uncles and aunts."

  "Be quiet." The old dwarf directly waved his hand.

  The young man in white nodded, although he was the head of the Black and White Academy, but when facing these five people, he still showed junior courtesy, obediently standing aside without speaking again.

  ……

  A hand holding a three-foot sword, killing... A series of floating sword shadows converged into a light character, suddenly swooshing, each light character flew into Ji Ning's eyes.

  Ji Ning closed his eyes.

  The line of words on the stone wall, "Holding a three-foot sword, killing all unrighteous things, leaving words behind when heading north", also became ordinary and no longer emitted any aura. Perhaps it will reappear at some point in the future when a new disciple who can accept its sword intent appears.

  "Alright," said the old dwarf with a smile. "The complete 'Three Chi Sword' of Beixing has been passed on to this young one."

  "Yes, the complete Three Chi Sword." The old man with a high crown and long whiskers also sighed, "How many years has it been? The last time the 'Three Chi Sword' appeared was three billion years ago. Finally, another disciple has inherited the complete Three Chi Sword."

  "The three-foot sword... killed countless evil demons, killing until the sky grew dark. It was a slaughter that made the entire Great Xia Dynasty tremble with fear, and even slaughtered our own world." The tall, majestic man wrapped in strange chains also spoke in a low, resonant voice, his eyes filled with longing.

  They are both immortals, but their actual strength and status differ greatly.

  The Northern Immortal's level is no less than that of the Heavenly Immortals, and even some Heavenly Immortals are envious of him. Such an existence... killing half of the scattered immortals and earthly immortals is like killing a chicken.

  It is precisely because of this that even after endless years have passed, the respect of Hei Bai Academy for 'North-going Immortal' still surpasses that for the only Tian Xian in Hei Bai Academy's history.

  "Three Feet Sword." Dian Cai Xianren said slowly. "Legend has it that there are nine moves, the first six of which have secret manuals stored in our Heibai Academy. And the last three... are the true reliance of Beixing Xianren's invincibility. Moreover, they cannot be recorded in words or diagrams, and can only be passed down through the mysterious and profound sword intent."

  "This child has a sword immortal's heart." The long-bearded old man looked down at Ji Ning, "Moreover, his Dao heart is extremely pure and firm, and his spirit and soul are very strong. With these three, he can inherit the Three Feet Sword's swordsmanship."

  The young child nodded: "My fellow disciples of the Hei Bai Academy have a firm mind and a strong spirit, but there are few who have the heart of a sword immortal."

  "The heart of a sword immortal. It is the enlightenment of a true swordsman. It is the enlightenment of the mind." The old dwarf sighed, "And to realize one's own heart of a sword immortal is also a prerequisite for embarking on the great path of 'Jian Dao'."

  ……

  "Temple's talented younger brother. This good disciple, do you want him or not? If you don't, I'll take him." The long-whiskered old man said with a smile.

  "Dian Cai, this disciple I want." The young child's eyes gleamed with excitement, "Although he can't wield the three-foot sword now, the three-foot sword has already entered his soul. Once he reaches the boundary, he'll be able to wield it. Cultivating a swordsman with the Three-Foot Sword technique, I'm really looking forward to it."

  "Palace Master's junior brother..." one by one they spoke up.

  Dian Cai Xian Ren glanced at the other four: "I don't even have a single disciple, are you guys competing with me?"

  The other four people all laughed.

  "Vast Ocean." The palace's immortal looked towards a white-clad young man standing beside him.

  "Master Uncle." The young man in white replied immediately.

  "Who is this little fellow down there?" asked Xian Ren with a smile.

  "This is one of the two new disciples my Black and White Academy just accepted, his name is Ji Ning, from a small clan called 'Ji Clan' in our Anping County's Yanshan. His parents have already passed away, and he has shown extraordinary talent since childhood. At the age of eleven, he had already killed the Purple Mansion cultivator Bei Zishan who was wanted by the Dragon Guard. Later, because the Fire Dragon Immortal closed up to break through in the Ji Clan's territory, a yuan stone vein appeared there. This led to a branch of the Snow Dragon Mountain wanting to destroy the Ji Clan, but ultimately lost a Wanxiang True Person and more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators. The main reason for this loss was Ji Ning. Because he had met Beishan Baimei, a descendant of the Northern Mountain clan, in the Worry-Free Cave, where he showed off his skills, already reaching the realm of Dao. This year is his sixteenth birthday, and the other new disciple, Mu Zixiao, is fourteen years old."

  Five immortals beside him all nodded in agreement.

  Ji Ning's growth sounded quite extraordinary, but in the eyes of the immortal cultivators at the Black and White Academy, it was merely considered not bad. After all, they had seen many reincarnated immortals before.

  "This is Ji Ning, he is now my disciple." Dian Cai Xianren looked around, "Four senior brothers, please wait."

  "Haha."

  "I thought you, Master Dian's junior brother, never accepted any disciples."

  "I won't compete with you. You're the one who has studied Master Bei's swordsmanship the most deeply, so if you don't teach anyone, then who will? We'll go and teach instead, won't that be misleading the younger generation?"

  As these immortals chatted, Ji Ning's matter of becoming a disciple was thus settled.
