Martial Supreme Esoterica - C35
On the night of the barren mountain, Yan Fengwu and the Sword Spirit were sitting together on two rocks on top of a solitary mountain, roasting flames.
At this time, the mountain wind was blowing gently, and a cold mist was floating around the two of them. Behind them, a bright moon was shining like a huge jade plate, illuminating their faces like cold jade.
Looking at the small and exquisite noodle in her hand, Yan Fengwu fiddled with the noodle in her hand while looking up at her, laughing, “How is it?” “Do you like it?”
The sword spirit pouted, “It doesn’t look like me at all!”
Yan Fengwu’s heart jumped, and she teasingly said, “Have you seen what you look like before?”
The sword spirit smiled, but his thoughts were stirred up. Although she did not show it on the surface, her heart was starting to feel sad. The mask in his hand looked even more similar to Yan Lanyue’s compared to the cold moon. It made him so angry that his cheeks bulged.
Yan Fengwu looked at her, a slight smile on his face. His fingers quickly squeezed the dough twice, then he handed it over. “Take a look and see if this looks like it.”
Upon seeing the mask in his hand, the sword spirit was elegant and graceful. However, it had a fat pig’s head and immediately snatched it away, “Pui! Pinch this pig’s head into the shape of yours! ”
Yan Fengwu chuckled, his fingers moved quickly, and in just a few seconds, a pig head had been pinched into the image of a handsome young master, “Do you think I look like this?”
The sword spirit glanced at him, “You’re not so good-looking!” He snatched that man from Yan Fengwu’s grasp, and started kneading those two men into a ball.
Yan Fengwu was startled. “What are you doing?”
The sword spirit split the dough in his hand into two pieces that were the same size and handed them to Yan Fengwu, saying, “Pinch one more you, then one more me!”
Yan Fengwu asked, “Why?”
Little Brother Feng Wu has always been an affectionate person, but today, he even has me in his body and you in his. How could he forget such a classic story!
“Yanling!”
The two of them were shocked and hurriedly stood up. When they turned around to look, they saw two people standing under the cold moon. One of them was as thin as a knife and the other was a jade tree that was as clear as the wind.
“How did you find us?”
“When you were fighting the three Devils today, you forgot to hide your whereabouts and were discovered by us!”
Just as Yan Fengwu was about to speak, she suddenly felt her Sword Spirit grab his sleeve, her hand still trembling slightly. “She’s afraid? What is she afraid of? ”
The sword spirits cried out, “What do you want?”
Daoist Master Daoyin stroked his beard, “Our Dao Lord Sect pays particular attention to Tao techniques and natural laws. Since you have already chosen your own path, I am not going to interfere any further. As for Yanling’s intentions, I’ll have to ask him!”
As long as you don’t interfere, even if I want to, it will be useless. I might even harm Sister Leng Yue’s body, and as long as the sword spirit can ensure that Sister Leng Yue’s body is unharmed while she is around Sister Leng Yue, she can guarantee that one day she will return her body to Sister Leng Yue. I promise that she won’t harm Sister Leng Yue’s consciousness, and I won’t make things difficult for them.
“Hey,” Yan Fengwu said. “You, you all think too much. We … we haven’t done anything yet!”
“Haha,” Doyen laughed. “The bystanders know what’s going on, the onlookers are the fans!”
Yan Ling said, “The word ‘love’ is the most attractive pair of eyes!”
Yan Fengwu and the Sword Spirit both glanced at each other, each feeling troubled in their hearts. They didn’t know how they would live together or what they would do when everything was over, nor did they know how they would accept this relationship. They didn’t even dare to imagine that if they really fell in love and couldn’t extricate themselves, then this devilish love between them would lead them to destruction.
Naturally, they didn’t want to see any sort of tragedy happen to Yan Fengwu, but they were both people of love, and they knew that once something happened, even if they were in a love net, they wouldn’t be able to extricate themselves from it. If not, it would be the opposite of what they should do, so they could only let Yan Fengwu do as he pleased.
“Since we have all guaranteed that we won’t make things difficult for you two, if you believe me and Yanling, then you guys should release the Art of Life. This way, you won’t be suffocated during the future battles and actions, how about that?”
Just as Yan Fengwu was about to speak up, she heard the Sword Spirit cry out in surprise, “No!”
Adept Daoyin frowned. “You don’t believe me?”
The sword spirit lowered its head. “I don’t believe in myself. I’m afraid that if I lose all my worries, I’ll …”
“Hmm?” Yan Ling turned around, “If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you make others believe in you?”
The sword spirit’s heart trembled as she lowered her head.
However, Daoist Master Daoyin said, “The word ‘love’ is the most bewildering. I don’t think that the Sword Spirit doesn’t believe in herself. Rather, she cares too much about Yan Fengwu!”
Yan Fengwu’s heart trembled as she secretly glanced at the Sword Spirit of the Heart. Her beautiful face turned red, and she became even more beautiful than before. Yan Fengwu’s heart couldn’t help but thump loudly.
“Should I accept this feeling?” This question, which he was extremely conflicted over, was now approaching him with unprecedented intensity.
“What should we do to not let down Little Meng?”
“What should we do to not let down Sister Yue?”
“What should I do to not let myself down?”
Just as he was waging a war in his heart, he heard an old and calm voice with a slight smile, “Too many!”
Yan Fengwu’s heart shook as he raised his head.
Daoist Master Daoyin continued, “He wanted to live up to his savior, his lover, and himself. How could such a thing exist in this world?”
Yan Ling said, “Love is hard to come by. I hope you will take care of me!”
Yan Fengwu said in her heart, “Your words are quite light!”
“If that’s the case, why don’t we sit down and chat about proper business?”
“Business?” “What is it?”
“The person you were battling against just now was the Sword Spirit of the Cloudsoaring sect. As for the Cloud Sword, it has always been suppressed within the Heavenly Talisman Sect. Now that the demon sword has entered the mortal world, it means that the Heavenly Talisman Sect has begun to act.”
Earlier, Yan Ling had informed Yan Feng Wu of Dao Yin’s suspicions about the Heavenly Talisman Sect. Yan Feng Wu still couldn’t completely believe it, but today, after seeing the girl with the sword and being told by the Sword Spirit of the Heart Sacrifice, Yan Ling had started to believe what Dao Yin had said earlier. Now, after hearing Dao Yin mention this matter again, Yan Feng almost completely believed it.
In addition, Daoist Master Daoyin had always been protective and protective towards her during their previous conversation. In that moment, Yan Fengwu had a very good impression of this Daoist Priest.
The Sword Spirits did not have much of an opinion on right or wrong, so when Dao Yin brought up this topic, the four of them instantly merged into one. They didn’t say anything more about it.
Yan Fengwu had always been a smart person. He thought over and over again, then said with a frown, “Adept Daoyin, there is something which this junior doesn’t understand.”
Adept Daoyin said, “Oh, please explain in detail?”
Yan Fengwu continued, “Based on the current situation, the ambitions of the Heavenly Talisman Sect to obtain the four demon swords have already been made clear. In order to prevent the heroes of this world from doubting, they colluded with the forest of demon beasts and stole the three demon swords midway. Only then will the Heavenly Talisman Sect have an excuse when the four demon swords emerge from this chaotic world. Since the Heavenly Talisman Sect was doing this to deceive people, why would they send people to seize the sword while wielding the ‘Anxiety Cloud’ Sword? Everyone knows that the Sword of Mourning Clouds has always been suppressing the Heavenly Talisman Sect. If they do this, isn’t this place empty? ”
Daoist Master Doyin laughed, “He is indeed the smartest person in the younger generation of the Yan family who could tell what the problem was with a single glance!” Let me ask you, in the consecutive days of confrontation, you have already guessed the identity of the people in this’ Demonic Beast Forest ‘? ”
Yan Fengwu looked up at the sky with eyes filled with reminiscence, “This’ Demonic Beast Forest ‘used to be a wild forest a long time ago. It did not have any masters, and countless wild beasts lived within it. When I was still running my clan’s business, I had fought against the people in the Demon Beast Forest on several occasions, but I didn’t manage to get a hold of their strength until I found out about the matter of the Demon Nether Sect. After contacting the three demons this afternoon, I can almost conclude that the person in the Demon Beast Forest is the remnant of the Demon Nether Sect! ”
Daoist Daoyin laughed. “Good, good. You are indeed intelligent. However …”
Yan Fengwu frowned, “What do you think?”
Daoist Daoyin let out a long sigh. “However, it’s not just the remnants. It’s all of them!”
Yan Fengwu said, “What?”
Dao Yin said, “According to your legends, it was a battle between the Demon Nether Sect and the other three sects that resulted in both sides suffering. Afterwards, the Heavenly Symbol Sect suddenly appeared and drove the Demon Nether Sect into the Wilderness. “Sigh!”
Yan Ling was also very curious. He said, “There are some things that you have never mentioned to me.”
“Actually, for you, this is too hard to accept. I originally wanted to tell you everything, but I didn’t expect the Heavenly Talisman Sect to act so quickly, and Yan Qiuyu and Yanba are gradually entering the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s territory, so we have to increase their speed. I’ve decided to tell you all about the four demon swords that are related to each and every one of them.”
The sword spirit smiled and lowered her head in silence.
Daoist Master Daoyin glanced at her. “Don’t just look at the fact that you’ve been sealed within the demon sword for years. You’ve cultivated for thousands of years already, but even you don’t know the origins of these four swords and their original uses.”
The sword spirits thought for a while, “I really don’t know. For example, there are so many treasures and swords in the world, why did they single-handedly lock us down with these four swords? Furthermore, these four swords have strange shapes. The patterns on the swords originally looked different, but when they were put together, it was actually a strange painting. I didn’t think that there would be so many, but after what you said, I really don’t understand it anymore! ”
Dao Yin replied, “Although you have cultivated for a thousand years and have the highest and earliest cultivation among all the demon gods and devils in the world, it is impossible for you to understand these secrets, because they are only recorded in the manuals of the four great sects. Only the elders of the four great sects and above are qualified to know about them. Moreover, these people who knew about this were all bestowed with a “Concealment Curse” by the heads of the four sects. Once this was leaked out, they would be struck by the heavenly thunder and be killed in body and spirit. When I came here, I felt that this trip here would reveal my secret, so I asked the Sect Leader to remove the ‘Concealment God Curse’ for me. That’s why I dared to tell you. ”
Yan Ling asked in shock, “What kind of secret was that? Why is it so strict?”
Daoist Daoyin glanced at the Sword Spirit. “Do you still remember yourself? How did you become bedeviled?”
The sword spirit said, “I remember that time, my heart was filled with hatred and despair. It was at this moment that I felt something in front of me … How should he put it? I felt a cluster of very complex emotions approaching me, a cluster of emotions that contained anger, confusion, pure killing intent, and, like what I felt then, resentment. Just as I felt these emotions, those feelings which are closest to me, burrowed into my body, occupied me, and fused into one with me, I felt an unsurpassable magic. ” As the sword spirit spoke, her entire body began to tremble.
“Yes,” Yan Fengwu held onto the sword spirit’s hand, looking into her eyes as he said, “I’ve felt it before!”
The sword spirit glanced at him, then tiredly leaned her entire body against his shoulder.
Adept Daoyin nodded. “If that’s the case, then it can be said that you were caused by that ‘pile of emotions’ you spoke of. Do you know who this’ pile ‘of emotions’ belongs to?”
“Who does it belong to?” The Sword Spirit exclaimed, “I never dared to think that they would have a master, because I never would have imagined that that person would be able to bear so many negative emotions.”
Adept Daoyin said, “That isn’t a single person; it’s a devil. A devil who was even older than the four of you, and a devil who is far more powerful! In the annals of the Four Major Sects, it is said that it was once an enemy of the heavens, and even the Creation God was unable to kill it. In the end, the Creation God of Heaven and Clear Heaven, who is also the current master of the Cloud Realm of the Heavens, as well as the Great Earth God and the Sun God, these four great gods worked together and only managed to suppress him, but who would have thought that his Primordial Spirit would actually come out and continue to do evil in the human world. In order to release his own body, he created the ‘Soul Sacrifice’, ‘Heart of Beasts’, ‘Mark of Beasts, and the Four Grimoire Sword.
Yan Fengwu said, “Were these four swords forged by demons?” “What about their legend?”
“These four swords have experienced countless years of baptism, as well as countless sects who wish to place money on their own shoulders. They have done much to help them out, so as time goes on, it gradually becomes unknown to the world as to who forged these four swords.”
Yan Fengwu nodded without saying a word.
Daoist Master Daoyin continued, “Fortunately, the four great Empyrean Gods noticed the Devil’s actions at that time and once again joined hands to completely destroy his primordial spirit, but this devil’s cultivation level is so high that it actually managed to jump out of its primordial spirit’s trap. Although his primordial spirit was destroyed, it was still able to preserve a trace of his primordial spirit, which is able to gather fragments of his primordial spirit in the universe and condense them into a type of resentment that can only be detected by relying on the same emotions — which is the ‘pile of emotions’ that you spoke of.” At this time, the four great Empyrean Gods had also discovered and dispatched their Empyrean Gods to chase after him. It was only when he had no other choice did he give up on his own origin soul and place all of his resentment onto the four people he had seen at that time — the ones who were the most resentful, the ones who had the most despair, the ones who had the most brutality, and the ones who had the most bloodshed.
