Chapter 435 - 230: Cyan Nether, Snow Shattering, Merak, 1000

After confirming it was the Sword Qi unleashed by Liou Yuan, there was no need to stay any longer, and everyone left into the night.

Only Liou Yuan remained, standing upright over the river, slowly closing his eyes and savoring the profoundness of that recent strike.

As the night deepened, the figure of the young man merged with the moonlight and the Sword Qi swirling around him, becoming one.

He had never given a name to his Sword Qi, but today, with the insight from that strike, he came up with a fitting idea.

Suddenly, he lifted his head, gazed into the profound darkness of the night sky, and gently whispered, "Let’s call it Cyan Nether!"

"Nether" suggests the meaning of deep and mysterious, as if the sharpness of Liou Yuan’s recent strike could pierce through the void, reaching the netherworld.

Splashes! Ripples arose on the river’s surface, and Liou Yuan also left.

He needed to return to his abode and deeply appreciate the understanding from that strike.

This sword move derived from a technique in the "Green Tide Pure Water Sword" manual.

It had clearly surpassed the realm of the Green Tide Pure Water Sword, an A-class top-grade sword manual, outshining its origin.

It could be said to be a Sword Dao unique to Liou Yuan.

With the first move, there would be a second. Soon, after Liou Yuan breaks into Foundation Establishment, he would be able to compile a sword manual.

A manual titled the "Cyan Nether Sword Manual," bearing his name, Liou Yuan.

At this moment, in the Inner Sect’s Wenda Tower.

A young Daoist in a moon white robe slowly opened his eyes.

With a smile on his face, looking rather pleased, his slender fingers held a writing brush, gliding slowly over the white rice paper before him.

The vigorous strokes ultimately sketched out two characters on the white paper: "Cyan Nether".

As soon as the two characters "Cyan Nether" appeared on the rice paper, a burst of Sword Qi seemed to surge towards the heavens from it.

As if trying to escape the paper, it was gently suppressed back into it by Xuanyi with the tip of his brush.

Several sheets of rice paper spread out on one side of the desk, each bearing different characters.

They read ’Snow Shattering’, ’Merak’, and ’Qianji’.

Time passed, and the time for the Chaotic Scene approached swiftly.

In just two or three days of seclusion, the aura of autumn deepened within the Five Extremes Mountain.

Before the morning mist dissipated, frost had quietly crept onto the flying eaves of Shoushan Tower. The icing on the glazed tiles refracted the early morning light, turning the bronze wind chimes hung at the eaves into a myriad of tiny stars.

In the spirit fields behind the library of the Fifth Peak, the Spirit Rice, shedding its summer dark green, had its stalks now hung with frosted purple pods, gently swaying in the morning breeze, casting a hazy purple mist over the entire field.

Boom! The stone door of Liou Yuan’s abode, sealed for more than ten days, suddenly opened with a thunderous roar.

Liou Yuan, clad in a cyan Daoist robe, with his hair tightly bound, strode out from the abode.

"Master!" At the entrance of the abode, Gong Linqing respectfully saluted Liou Yuan.

During Liou Yuan’s retreat, Gong Linqing had dutifully guarded outside the abode.

Though he knew Liou Yuan’s abode was protected by an array and didn’t really need him there, he stayed.

He simply didn’t want anyone to disturb Liou Yuan’s retreat at this critical moment before the Chaotic Scene battle.

Liou Yuan took note of all this, smiled slightly, patted Gong Linqing on the shoulder and voiced his gratitude.

"Let’s go!" Under Gong Linqing’s watchful eyes, Liou Yuan strode forward, walking away from the array.

He passed through two areas of arrays.

Immediately, the view broadened, and several figures awaited outside his abode.

They stood in different directions, their gazes fixated on Liou Yuan as he emerged.

Liou Yuan’s gaze swept over these people as well.

These were all familiar faces to Liou Yuan, or fellow outer sect disciples who had crossed paths with him.

Zhao Feiyue, exuding heroic spirit, who had been in seclusion ever since the outer sect trials, receiving family resources for training, now also at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

As Liou Yuan’s gaze landed on him, Zhao Feiyue smiled slightly.

Qiu Ming waved at Liou Yuan along with Bai Ling.

The person and the bird had both been in seclusion before, and today, on the day of the Chaotic Scene, specifically came out to see Liou Yuan off.

Xie Miaobo and Fu Xueping, who entered the sect together with Liou Yuan at Xiaopei Mountain, were also there, silently watching Liou Yuan.

Additionally, Lin Qianyin from the Yanluo Sect had arrived as well, standing at the far back of the group, carrying the black iron long sword that symbolized her identity.

With arms crossed, as Liou Yuan’s gaze met her, she turned her face expressionlessly.

Liou Yuan didn’t dare look at her for long, chuckled awkwardly, and quickly moved his gaze away.

Yan Yingsi had also come, dressed in the attire of the Disciplinary Hall disciple.

As Liou Yuan stepped out of the array, her scarlet eyes, neither smiling nor frowning, focused on Liou Yuan as she stepped forward, presenting a token, and said in a hoarse voice, "By the elder’s command, I’m here to escort you to the Chaotic Scene."

"Follow me!" With that, Yan Yingsi tilted her head, gesturing for Liou Yuan to follow her.

With Yan Yingsi there to fetch him, the others naturally refrained from stepping forward.

Liou Yuan nodded, and as he left with Yan Yingsi, his friends behind him started cheering him on.

"Liou Yuan, finish them off, and when you return, Bai Ling and I will take you for drinks, until we’re completely smashed!" Qiu Ming, waving his thick arms, cursed, "Avenge me while you’re at it."

"Finish them off!" Bai Ling, not adept in combat, now exuding a rogue spirit under Qiu Ming’s tutelage, flapped its wings, echoing Qiu Ming’s words.

"Mr. Liou, may you return triumphantly," Zhao Feiyue’s clear and pleasant voice rang out.

"Mr. Liou, be extremely cautious," Fu Xueping, aware of the Chaotic Scene’s dangers, was the most worried for Liou Yuan among them.

"Don’t worry, you clearly haven’t heard of Mr. Liou’s recent victories, there are few in the Outer Sect who are his match now," Xie Miaobo comforted her from the side.

"Wait for my return, haha," Liou Yuan laughed heartily, waved goodbye, and his figure, along with Yan Yingsi, shot towards the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Everyone cheered for Liou Yuan except Lin Qianyin, who remained silent, just watching Liou Yuan’s silhouette vanish into the distance.
