Chapter 194: Sword King Inheritance, Su Changyu Is Sick Again
“Senior, don’t go, you can’t look at the Well of This Life.”
Da Xu said in the mystic realm. He wanted to try his best to dissuade the other party.
However, unfortunately, Xu Luochen had already walked over.
Besides, he immediately looked into the ancient well without giving Da Xu a chance at all.
“Da Xu, why can’t I look at it?”
“You’re scared of a well? Where are you from?”
“If you can see the future, why not?”
At this moment, Wang Zhuoyu, Chen Lingrou, and even Daoist Tai Hua could not help but frown slightly.
They felt that Da Xu was a bit timid and afraid.
‘If you’re afraid of everything, what’s the point of practicing immortal cultivation?’
“No, Seniors, you will be able to see the future using this Well of This Life, but generally speaking, the future will affect your Dao Heart if it’s not promising. If you see yourself falling in the future, wouldn’t you be plagued with worries and have your cultivation level affected?”
Da Xu did not know how to explain.
Although the Well of This Life could allow one to see the future, such things were forbidden for many cultivators.
After all, being able to see one’s future was sometimes not a good thing.
If one saw themselves dying in the future, they would be too distracted to cultivate as they would be thinking about it everyday and end up developing mental demons. It would then affect them.
“We cultivators can defy fate. Must you make it sound so shocking?”
Daoist Tai Hua frowned.
He had heard that heavenly secrets were not to be leaked, but the problem was that it was not a big deal to see one’s future destiny.
On the contrary, if one could gain insight into the future, they would be able to avoid any disasters.
“No, Master, the Well of This Life will allow you to see your greatest destiny and it’s basically very difficult to escape. There are ancient records of an immortal who looked at the well and saw that he would be struck dead by lightning in the future.”
“Eventually, he was plagued with worries and ended up developing mental demons. After encountering the Thunder Tribulation, he got really scared and his body went into metastasis because of his cowardice. Hence, unless a person has great fortune, he should not look into the well.”
Da Xu explained with all his might, for fear that the crowd wouldn’t understand.
However, after he said that, they were no longer scared.
‘Great luck?’
‘We all have great luck.’
Chen Lingrou patted her chest in relief.
She thought that it was something more troublesome.
Da Xu was a little confused.
‘What kind of people are these?’
However, although they were confident, the crowd did not act rashly but concentrated on Xu Luochen who was not far away.
Time passed bit by bit.
About three minutes later, Xu Luochen walked back from the Well of This Life.
He was frowning and seemingly thinking about something.
“What’s wrong? Second Senior Brother, what did you see?”
“Second Senior Brother, did you see me become the best array formation master in the world?”
“Second Senior Brother, say something.”
“Luochen, quickly tell us, what are you being so mysterious for?”
Everyone spoke up, extremely curious about what Xu Luochen had seen.
“No, Eldest Senior Brother, Master, I saw the Qingyun Dao Sect being on fire.”
Xu Luochen said with a frown.
He had just looked into the Well of This Life and thought he could see his future, but he didn’t expect to see a blazing fire that burned down the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
“What? The Qingyun Dao Sect is on fire? Did you not seal the furnace when you left?”
Hearing this, Daoist Tai Hua immediately panicked.
He thought that the furnace had not been sealed, causing a fire to break out in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
After all, there were still many valuable things within the Qingyun Dao Sect. If it was burned by fire, it would be a huge loss.
“I’m not clear either. I seem to have seen the Qingyun Dao Sect being on fire. Why don’t you go take a look?”
Xu Luochen was also a little confused. He wasn’t clear and hence could only tell them to take a look for themselves.
All of a sudden, everyone got up and walked towards the Well of This Life.
“Go one by one, don’t go forward together.”
Da Xu reminded.
At that moment, everyone paused in their tracks.
“Since I’m the Sect Leader, I’ll go and take a look first.”
Daoist Tai Hua thought about it and took the initiative.
Everyone nodded without saying much.
Daoist Tai Hua quickly walked over to the Well of This Life.
He looked down and soon saw the calm surface of the well. A ripple appeared, followed by a scene.
There was a huge fire in the Qingyun Dao Sect and all the buildings were on fire.
However, soon, he saw a familiar figure.
It was Su Changyu.
The difference was that Su Changyu’s aura had also changed, and he looked more and more like a supreme Sword Immortal. If he didn’t know that it was his disciple, Daoist Tai Hua would have really thought that he saw a supreme Sword Immortal.
However, in the image in the well, Su Changyu was remaining unmoved while watching the sect get burned. He seemed to be crying too.
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua could not help but frown.
‘The sect is on fire, what are you still standing there for?’
‘What are you crying for? Hurry up and put out the flames.’
At this moment, Su Changyu, who was in the well, gradually disappeared, and eventually all the images vanished too.
Soon, Daoist Tai Hua looked away and walked towards everyone with a frown.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Master, is our sect really getting burned?”
Xu Luochen immediately came over and asked as he looked at Daoist Tai Hua with curiosity.
“Yes.” Daoist Tai Hua nodded and said, but before the crowd could continue talking, he couldn’t help but look at Su Changyu.
“I not only saw the sect being burned, but I also saw Changyu weeping while standing at the entrance of the sect.”
Daoist Tai Hua said with a frown.
After hearing his words, the crowd reacted bizarrely.
Su Changyu, in particular.
He looked at Daoist Tai Hua with a look of surprise on his face.
“Master, did you see clearly? How could I be weeping?”
Su Changyu was dumbfounded. ‘I’m a peerless Sword Immortal, I only shed blood and not tears. Why would I be weeping for no reason?’
“Eldest Senior Brother was there? That means that it’s a scene from the future. Oh, okay, I get it.”
Lin Bei said as he suddenly recalled something.
“What did you get?”
Everyone turned to look at Lin Bei, wondering what he had figured out.
Sensing the gazes of everyone, Lin Bei couldn’t help but explain.
“Sect Leader, do you think it could be that one day, we’re all away from the sect and Eldest Senior Brother accidentally set a fire that caused the sect to be burned. Later on, Eldest Senior Brother was ridden with guilt, so much that he couldn’t help but cry at the thought of you beating him up after you come back.”
Lin Bei said.
In an instant, everyone felt that he seemed to have made sense
At that moment, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but stare at Su Changyu solemnly.
“Changyu, you must follow me down the mountain in the future. If you really accidentally set fire to the sect, I will disown you from now on.”
Daoist Tai Hua said with a serious expression.
The Qingyun Dao Sect was his foundation, and if that really happened, he definitely wouldn’t let Su Changyu off.
Su Changyu was speechless.
“Master, why would I burn the sect for no reason?”
Su Changyu did not know what to say, but he had nothing to explain either. Hence, he walked straight towards the Well of This Life and looked over.
There were soon ripples on the calm surface of the well and a scene quickly appeared.
The difference was that Su Changyu saw Ye Ping.
Yes, in the image displayed, four flying swords appeared behind Ye Ping who was facing countless fiendish demons.
The scene was extremely shocking and the only imperfection was that it was Ye Ping and not him.
Soon, the image vanished.
Su Changyu also could not help but frown.
He was completely unaware of the cause and effect, and what was going to happen.
Su Changyu retracted his gaze and walked over to inform the crowd of what he had just seen.
After Su Changyu finished speaking, everyone frowned.
“Ye Ping faced so many demons alone? It seems that he has a bright and promising future.”
“Tsk, tsk, he’s worthy of being our signature disciple. He’s remarkable.”
They were at a loss for words too.
The main thing was that this so-called Well of This Life would only reveal a tiny bit of the future without presenting the cause and effect. Hence, what could one do even if they saw their future?
“I’ll go take a look.”
Wang Zhuoyu got up and walked towards the Well of This Life.
Soon, Wang Zhuoyu walked back with a frown.
“What did you see again?”
Everyone was curious.
“The scene I saw was even more outrageous. I saw Lin Bei walking on a rainbow bridge. ”
Wang Zhuoyu frowned, finding it a little outrageous.
“Rainbow bridge?”
“Where is this hell hole?”
“Forget it, I’ll go check it out.”
Lin Bei got up and looked into the Well of This Life.
After a while, he returned slowly with a strange expression too.
“Don’t ask, I saw Fourth Senior Brother turning into a talisman.”
Before they could ask, Lin Bei told them what he had seen.
“I turned into a talisman? Did you make a mistake?”
Xue Zhuan was a bit confused. The scene seemed to be becoming stranger and stranger.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Xue Zhuan walked over.
After a while, he also returned with a frown and said with curiosity, “I saw you blindfolded, Third Senior Brother.”
Everyone was even more puzzled.
“What exactly is it? Why are you guys making it sound more and more outrageous?”
Chen Lingrou really couldn’t understand what her Senior Brothers were saying as she walked towards the Well of This Life.
After a while, she stared at the ancient well.
Soon, a scene appeared.
There was a heavy downpour.
There was a white-robed man lying on a stone platform, stained in blood. There was a flying sword beside him, which had been wrecked beyond repair. There were also the words “Heavenly Fate” engraved on the ground beside him.
Chen Lingrou frowned all of a sudden.
The reason being, she discovered that the man in the white robe seemed to be Daoist Tai Hua.
Soon, the image vanished.
Chen Lingrou stayed silent.
She didn’t know if she should tell them what she saw, and more importantly, she wasn’t sure if it was Daoist Tai Hua.
“Lingrou, what did you see?
“Yeah, Lingrou, what did you see this time?”
Everyone was curious and couldn’t help but look at Chen Lingrou while bombarding her with questions.
“I saw Eldest Senior Brother set fire to the sect.”
Chen Lingrou did not reveal the scene that she saw as she was afraid that she had made a mistake. She was also worried that it would lead to some terrible consequences. However, she intended to tell her Eldest Senior Sister about it.
‘Maybe Eldest Senior Sister would know more.’
Hence, she made up something and patronized them.
After saying that, everyone couldn’t help but look at Su Changyu.
In particular, Daoist Tai Hua pointed at Su Changyu and said, “Great, indeed, you’re the one who set the fire. Changyu, you actually want to set the sect on fire?”
Daoist Tai Hua spoke with some dissatisfaction.
“Oh, I totally get it now. Master, I suspect that you never wanted to let Eldest Senior Brother succeed you as the Sect Leader of Qingyun Dao Sect. So, Eldest Senior Brother bears a grudge against you and decides to burn the entire Qingyun Dao Sect. Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, you’re so narrow-minded.”
Xu Luochen hurriedly spoke, seemingly having understood something.
“Eldest Senior Brother, is it true?”
Wang Zhuoyu asked calmly.
Su Changyu was speechless.
“Nonsense.”
He couldn’t be bothered to care about them.
That was clearly impossible.
‘Why would I set the sect on fire for no reason?’
‘Even if he can’t become the Sect Leader, he shouldn’t be so shameless.’
At this moment, Gu Jianxian suddenly spoke up.
“There is reincarnation in heaven and earth. Who can be sure about the karma of this world? How can an ancient well deduce the future of others?”
Gu Jianxian rarely spoke but his words made them snap back to their senses.
At this moment, everyone could not help but ponder.
After thinking about it carefully, they felt that it made sense. How could others see their future in a well? That seemed rather ridiculous.
“Yes, but this is all just an illusion. Besides, the burning of the sect and the fire are all just nonsense, let’s find a way out.”
Chen Lingrou nodded, she approved of what Gu Jianxian said.
On the other hand, Da Xu glared at Gu Jianxian. He was aware of what the Well of This Life meant, but he realized that the seniors did not say anything and hence had nothing to say.
He was just prejudiced against Gu Jianxian.
If not for the fact that they belonged to the same sect, Da Xu would really spar with him.
“Okay, don’t waste time on this kind of stuff. It’s best to find a way out.”
Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but nod.
They had all teleported to this hellish place and no one knew what would happen next. They thought that it would be better to leave sooner.
Everyone immediately nodded one after another.
Besides, at the same time, Xu Luochen couldn’t help but look at the seven stone platforms.
“Master, there are some ancient words carved under this stone platform, should we walk up and take a look?”
Xu Luochen pointed at the seven stone platforms and asked.
“I know these ancient characters. They read ‘Sword’, ‘Pills’, ‘Array Formations’, ‘Talismans’, ‘Treasures’, ‘Heaven’, ‘Luck’.”
Chen Lingrou said. She could read those words and hence pointed them out.
“How do you know how to read them?”
The crowd was a little curious. In their eyes, Chen Lingrou was a wastrel who knew nothing except eating. They didn’t expect her to be talented in that aspect.
“All those years of studying have finally paid off, eh? You guys don’t think I’m a wastrel, right?”
Chen Lingrou asked with a slight frown.
Everyone stayed silent but it was obvious what they meant.
Chen Lingrou was speechless.
“Sword? This should be the last level, I think these are the rewards for us. Maybe, it’s a legacy. As the Eldest Senior Brother, I should lead by example, I shall try it first.”
Su Changyu pondered silently. He vaguely felt that it was a mystic realm and that this was the last round.
Since they had reached the last round, those were obviously rewards.
Hence, as soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the sword platform.
Looking at Su Changyu who was walking away, everyone stayed silent for a while.
“He’s really worthy of being the Eldest Senior Brother. He has so much reason for taking advantage. He’s the only one who can do such a thing.”
“Tsk, so thick-skinned. We have to learn more from Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Yes, we’re not as thick-skinned as him.”
Everyone discussed and couldn’t help but comment about how thick-skinned Su Changyu was.
However, they were not mocking him. Even if Su Changyu took the initiative to go over, they wouldn’t be angry.
On the contrary, they were curious about what would happen next.
At this moment, Su Changyu had already arrived on the sword platform.
He stood on the sword platform with a composed gaze. Although he was a little flustered, he was poised and refined.
Boom!
As soon as Su Changyu stepped onto the sword platform, the entire cave lit up in an instant.
At this point, Su Changyu spoke up.
“Fated one, you have made it this far, I think you have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations. Excellent.”
His loud and clear voice made everyone’s expressions change.
However, the voice soon continued.
“Are you curious about my identity?”
“Since you’re curious, I’ll tell you.”
“I am the King of Swords. I entered the Sword Dao at the age of three and condensed the supreme sword momentum at four, followed by the supreme sword intent at five. I became invincible in the nation at six, defeated 275 nations at ten. I became invincible in the Sword Dao in the world at twenty, and a master of creation at the age of thirty.”
“Unfortunately, at the age of thirty-five, I failed to prove the Sword Dao, and after that, I was trapped in the Sword Dao for 3,500 years. I couldn’t break through for a long time, and finally, I teamed up with six friends to break through.”
“However, once I think of the fact that I might die if I fail, I left this secret inheritance behind. I’m waiting for a fated person. Do you want to get my inheritance?”
The voice revealed his identity.
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua and others were extremely excited.
They had previously guessed that this place was a mystic realm, but there was no concrete evidence to prove it.
However, they were now entirely certain that it was a mystic realm.
Everyone laughed.
Even Su Changyu could not help but feel an urge to laugh. Unfortunately, he couldn’t because that was what his nature was like. The more excited he was, the calmer he would seem.
In the entire cave, Su Changyu was the only one who was extremely calm.
After hearing his name, Gu Jianxian couldn’t help but be tempted.
Da Xu gasped uncontrollably.
“Sword King? The seven human kings?”
Da Xu had heard a bit about him and was aware of the legend of the seven human kings.
“Do you know the Sword King?”
Chen Lingrou, who was at the side, couldn’t help but ask Da Xu. She seemed rather curious.
“I know a little bit. The seven supreme human beings are called the Seven Ancient Kings who are the seven strongest people in the ancient times. It was said that they have long since ascended to the immortal world without leaving any inheritance behind. I didn’t expect there to be any inheritance.”
“We’re going to strike a fortune this time.”
Da Xu knew part of it but what he knew was mostly based on rumors.
“The seven strongest people in the ancient times?”
“Have they ascended to the immortal world so soon?”
Daoist Tai Hua, Xu Luochen, Wang Zhuoyu, and others were completely excited.
The legacy of an immortal?
‘What concept is that?’
In the past, even the inheritance of a Golden Core realm cultivator was rare to come by.
This time, they had struck a fortune.
Even Su Changyu was so excited that he felt an urge to cry, let alone them.
‘How many years has it been?’
‘How many years has it been?’
‘Is the inheritance that I had dreamed of finally going to be in my hands?’
‘The Seven Kings’ inheritance.’
‘Human Sword King’s Inheritance?’
‘Am I going to ascend after getting it?’
“Woohoo~~~”
‘Ascend!’
Su Changyu was so excited that he was on the verge of crying.
At this moment, the Sword King spoke again.
“Do you want to obtain my inheritance?”
The Sword King continued to ask Su Changyu again.
‘Yes!’
‘I do!’
‘I really want it!’
Su Changyu had already screamed in his heart.
However, when he answered, his words seemed to have meant something different.
“Are you worthy?”
He spoke indifferently.
All of a sudden, it was quiet in the cave.
It was dead silent.
In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.
He knew that he was acting up again.
