After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 155 - On the Road

Chapter 155: On the Road

“Qingxuan True Person was right... you really are... an unparalleled genius.”

Linglu True Person spoke in amazement. Jiang Huai had passed all her inheritance trials in less than an hour, and now she could give him the rewards of the inheritance.

She was going to teach Jiang Huai the way of the talisman sword and all her understanding of the heavenly rules. This was the most precious Dao charm, which could only be passed on to one person. For many years, no one had passed her inheritance test because, in reality, both talisman and array ultimately tested one’s compatibility with the will of heaven. Yet Jiang Huai seemed like a chosen son of heaven, with any complex talisman paper and array in his hands not bound by any heavenly rules.

Compared to the trial of the Bahuang True Person, Linglu True Person’s trial was indeed much easier for Jiang Huai, so much so that he hardly felt it was real. But after a moment, a green fruit appeared in front of him.

“This is the Qingling Holy Fruit. Eating it will add a thousand years to your lifespan and can restore all your expended soul power to a perfect state.”

Under Linglu True Person’s watchful gaze, Jiang Huai ate the Qingling Holy Fruit, and soon he felt his body’s strength replenished, and all his previously exhausted soul power was rapidly restored.

With a call from Linglu True Person, in an instant, the phantoms of Qingxuan and Bahuang True Person appeared in front of Jiang Huai, along with Wen Wanwan.

The three immortals looked at Wen Wanwan in surprise, “Where’s Zilu?”

“Zilu True Person... passed on her last soul power to me, as well as nine strands of heavenly spiritual energy and her Nascent Soul Dao Fruit,” Wen Wanwan’s voice was light, but it seemed to contain a chilling murderous aura.

“You... passed Zilu’s test?” Bahuang True Person looked at her in surprise.

Wen Wanwan nodded lightly, her expression calm, showing no pride. Qingxuan couldn’t help but ask, “How many rounds did you fight with her?”

Wen Wanwan shook her head lightly, “I can’t remember, too many.”

In Wen Wanwan’s hand was a blood-red fruit, the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit from the tree above Zilu True Person’s tomb. Those nine strands of heavenly spiritual energy were enough for her to produce a five-pattern heavenly core and still have four strands left over. A five-pattern heavenly core was already the best spirit pill in the world, and by consuming the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, her cultivation could leap to the late great perfection of Nascent Soul, and she might even step into the Divine Transformation realm.

The three immortals looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Seeing their reaction, Jiang Huai guessed the trials Wen Wanwan had gone through must have been extremely arduous. She turned to look at Wen Wanwan, whose eyes initially had an uncontrollable murderous aura, but it became incredibly gentle after making eye contact with Jiang Huai.

“Now... Wanwan can also help Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”

“The trial was hard, wasn’t it?”

“Not really, Wanwan didn’t feel much,” Wen Wanwan replied softly, coming closer to hug Jiang Huai gently, rubbing her cheek against his chest.

“When learning the sword with Zilu True Person, Wanwan kept thinking of Jiang Huai Senior Brother... and wasn’t afraid of anything.”

Jiang Huai gently patted her back and kissed her forehead lightly.

The immortals said nothing for a long time, until after the two had embraced for a while, and Jiang Huai let go, Qingxuan True Person finally spoke slowly.

“Jiang Huai... now you have received everything we can give you. Next, we will burn our last remnants of soul, passing on the power of the secret realm rules we control in Daoji Ancestral Land to you. After that, you will possess the spiritual energy of a Void Refining first-level.”

“This is the last thing we can do for this world.”

The eyes of the three people were very serious at this moment.

Jiang Huai looked at them blankly, “Does this mean that the you three will then completely...”

The Bahuang True Person just smiled lightly.

“We are already dead. Staying in this Daoji Ancestral Land was just to see if there were suitable young people to inherit our path and walk it for us. Now that we have the opportunity to give everything to you, to let you replace us in killing the Refining Yin Demon Gu, it’s a life without regrets.”

“Alright, no need for more words, there’s no time to wait. If you move quickly, you might still be able to rescue those young cultivators.”

“You should also quickly refine the heavenly spiritual energy and Zilu’s Nascent Soul Dao Fruit. The soul of the Refining Yin Demon Gu’s spirit is extremely strong, and the Sword of Slaughter that Zilu taught you will be very useful.” Linglu True Person said to Wen Wanwan.

After speaking, Linglu True Person began to chant a spell, and Qingxuan and Bahuang placed their hands on its antlers. Their bodies gradually became hazy and soon turned into intangible fire seeds, all of which came into Jiang Huai’s palm.

The flames didn’t cause any pain and soon attached themselves to the back of Jiang Huai’s hand, and the spiritual energy of the secret realm was absorbed into the flames with the burning of the fire seeds. Soon, the three fire seeds burned more fiercely, reaching the limit of the spiritual energy they could absorb, and then came into his sea of qi, burning wildly.

This was the last thing the three True Persons could pass on to him, using his lifespan as lamp oil and their soul fire seeds as the wick, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. Jiang Huai could feel his cultivation breaking through its shackles bit by bit.

Wen Wanwan also sat down and began to refine the heavenly spiritual energy.

Wen Wanwan’s Core Formation was especially smooth, encountering no obstacles whatsoever. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, her cultivation reached the early stage of Core Formation. Inside her sea of qi, the five-patterned heavenly dao spiritual pill shone with each golden pattern dazzlingly bright.

Without hesitation or doubt, she refined the Nascent Soul spiritual fruit that Zilu True Person had left her, and her cultivation aura climbed higher and higher.

...

An hour later.

Jiang Huai and Wen Wanwan once again arrived at the inheritance secret realm of Qingxuan True Person. At this moment, Xu Qing was sitting cross-legged on the ground, breathing in and out.

“We are going to battle with Mo Dan,” Jiang Huai spoke softly. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Xu Qing’s lips parted, about to say something, but Jiang Huai gently interrupted her.

“I know you want to go too... but someone needs to survive this secret realm to spread the word. So, I also hope you can carry a message... If I fail to kill Mo Dan and die in this secret realm, please tell Chu Xianning after you get out that I’ve finally realized I never liked her. I was only greedy for her beauty, enjoying the thrill of breaking the taboo between master and disciple. Please tell Luo Qingyu of Qingxuan Sect... I’m sorry for her, but I hope she lives well. If she falls into despair again because of my absence... then all my previous expectations for her would have become a foolish joke, and I wouldn’t be able to rest in peace even in death.”

Wen Wanwan was silent for a moment before speaking softly, “If possible, please convey to Fairy Chu to... take good care of my sister.”

Jiang Huai looked back at Wen Wanwan, “Don’t you have a message for your sister?”

Wen Wanwan’s eyes were serious, “My sister understands everything, she’s very smart and doesn’t need me to worry too much, so... I hope I can join Senior Brother Jiang Huai in killing the Refining Yin Demon Gu. Then I can go back and tell my sister that her sister has also done something super amazing.”

“Alright,” Jiang Huai nodded gently.

...

Outside the inheritance secret realm.

Jiang Huai opened the inheritance secret realm of Qingxuan True Person. Now, bearing the inheritance of three True Persons, he had the authority to open these secret realms.

And Wen Wanwan had obtained the Qingxuan Sword left by Qingxuan True Person.

Qingxuan True Person was no longer present, and the Qingxuan Sword, knowing everything Qingxuan True Person had done, chose to follow Wen Wanwan. Together, they would cut down evil spirits with the sword, fulfilling Qingxuan True Person’s last wish.

Inside the Daoji Ancestral Land, it was raining heavily.

The three kinds of fire within Jiang Huai were still burning fiercely. As long as the fire did not extinguish, he could continuously absorb spiritual energy. It had been a long time since he had felt such surging spiritual energy, which would not dissipate on its own but would vanish only with his consumption. Meanwhile, the fire could absorb more for him until it burned out.

Wen Wanwan’s cultivation had now stepped into the first level of Divine Transformation.

This was the gift from Zilu True Person. Her soul cultivation was even more vast than Jiang Huai’s at this moment, and the Zilu Sword Technique of Zilu True Person, which she practiced, was primarily focused on the soul.

The raindrops around the two were shielded by Jiang Huai. Wen Wanwan and Jiang Huai moved through the dense forest. In half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, they would reach the altar where Mo Dan was located. Wen Wanwan’s voice was soft.

“This is my first time fighting side by side with Senior Brother Jiang Huai.”

“Be very careful,” Jiang Huai replied softly.

“Yes, Wanwan understands,” Wen Wanwan nodded gently, and their figures turned into afterimages in the secret realm, passing through the stormy rain.

They soon saw the Thundercloud Cauldron in mid-air releasing a pool of lightning. Jiang Huai held the Ye Ning sword, and with a swing, the Thundercloud Cauldron fell from mid-air, and the lightning pool was completely disabled. They both stepped forward together.

At this moment, Mo Dan was hiding in a blood infant that was absorbing the blood of numerous cultivators. He was striving to construct his new Chaotic Blood Body with his soul. The sudden appearance of Jiang Huai and Wen Wanwan startled him. His Chaotic Blood Body had already reached the size of a five or six-year-old child.

Just as a strange smile appeared on his face, Jiang Huai had already swung his sword, severing all the blood threads, cutting off the connection between the Chaotic Blood Body and the cultivators. Mo Dan almost went mad in an instant.

“Laugh at your mother,” Jiang Huai glanced at him coldly.

“This young master has come back to take your dog life.”

Mo Dan’s unformed Chaotic Blood Body turned into countless red worms at that moment, crawling onto a blue skeleton nearby. The red worms transformed back into flesh and blood, condensing into an adult Mo Dan. His Void Refining first-level aura was immediately revealed, and the sinister smile on his face did not diminish.

“When you fled with your tail between your legs before, you weren’t as proud as you are now.”

Jiang Huai raised the Ye Ning sword in his hand, the blade pointing directly at Mo Dan.

“I don’t like to waste words with people who are about to die. You have one last chance to speak. After that, I’ll carve your flesh off piece by piece.”

“You’re even more arrogant than me,” Mo Dan sneered, taking out a gu sword.

But when he saw the Void Refining first-level aura on Jiang Huai, he was taken aback, suddenly remembering how Jiang Huai had severed his original blood body with his Nascent Soul cultivation.

His hand holding the sword trembled.

Jiang Huai’s eyes were cold.

“Are you done talking? Then prepare to depart this life.”
