Chapter 1609 - 172: Homecoming (Part 2)

Chapter 1609: Chapter 172: Homecoming (Part 2)

Divine Thought scanned over, just to confirm that the young man in front wasn’t injured, his aura undamaged.

"You two. I won’t disturb you."

Yu Wenbo watched this scene, feeling quite emotional at heart, sighed lightly, and then wisely departed.

...

...

At the Heavenly Peak, only two were left alone.

"Uncle Master, I’m still alive. And I’m doing quite well."

Xie Xuanyi felt a bit unnerved by Zhao Tongtian’s gaze.

He smiled wryly, flicked his sleeves, indicating he was fine.

"..."

Zhao Tongtian remained silent.

His gaze at Xie Xuanyi was complex, with appreciation, comfort, and mostly concern.

Back in the day.

It was because of Lian Venerate’s Reincarnation Body... Xie Xuanyi entered Li Lan Mountain.

In some ways.

It was because of "myself", Xie Xuanyi was in peril, nearly losing his life in the Demon Country.

These two years.

Zhao Tongtian wished to head north more than once, but was stopped by Chen Jingxuan each time.

The suggestion for all Yang God garrison officers on the Northern Border Great Wall to work together to help Xie Xuanyi travel south was first proposed by him.

Zhao Tongtian feared Xie Xuanyi would encounter accidents...

If due to his own selfish desires, he caused the hope hard-earned by Da Sui Sword Palace to be extinguished, he would never forgive himself.

"These two years, you’ve certainly suffered a lot, haven’t you?"

"Xuanyi..."

"Li Lan Mountain, I owe you an apology."

After a long while.

Zhao Tongtian spoke with a hoarse voice, one word at a time, very restrained, but his fingers in the large sleeves faintly trembled.

Xie Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, he hadn’t expected that upon their meeting after such a long time, the Law Enforcement’s first words would be an apology.

Looking back at this period, it was indeed fraught with dangers.

In the Great Marsh.

Almost turned into an elixir.

In the ruins.

Nearly pierced through by Karmic Fire.

However... wanting to achieve the Great Dao, how could the path be smooth?

"Whether it was right or wrong..."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, helplessly said, "This journey north wasn’t related to you."

Since Lian Venerate’s Reincarnation Body manifested, it surely needed to be brought back to Sword Palace.

Law Enforcement comes.

He comes.

It is essentially the same.

A sip and a peck, all is destined.

"Erosion Sun Swamp is my fate, also my blessing."

Xie Xuanyi grinned, "If Uncle Master truly feels guilty, why not think where I achieved Harmonization and advanced?"

If not for Li Lan Mountain, he wouldn’t have achieved Harmonization.

These years have been tough.

But the Sun Erosion Pill Furnace, formed the Life and Death Integration.

Great Palace Master’s Karmic Fire allowed him to step into the Fifth Realm smoothly.

Zhao Tongtian had nothing to say for a moment.

If a person feels guilty in their conscience, it won’t easily vanish due to a few words.

If Xie Xuanyi were caught in trouble.

He wouldn’t forgive himself no matter what.

But...

Xie Xuanyi is now safe and sound, his realm even higher than his own.

Zhao Tongtian could finally set down the heavy stone in his heart.

"Xuanyi."

Law Enforcement pondered for a moment, then said warmly: "During the days you were away, many missed you. Little Qi, Huang Su, Si Qi, Jiang Miaoyin... and your disciple..."

As he spoke.

He glanced downward.

At the Northern Border Great Wall Xuantie Pass, Sword Qi gathered, dense like a forest.

"I know."

Xie Xuanyi sat cross-legged on the Sword Qi, one hand holding his chin, smiling: "Huang Su, Si Qi are now at Xuantie Pass."

"Since you’ve arrived. Won’t you meet them?"

Zhao Tongtian raised his eyebrows.

"No hurry."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I still have some things to do."

Seeing the junior brothers and sisters, isn’t there a reason not to drink?

Although he just had a drink with Chen Jingxuan.

Right now, Xie Xuanyi is very clear-headed.

...

...

It is night.

Taoist Sect, Tianyuan Mountain.

A dense fog pervades.

Above the Shadow Wall Cave Heaven, suddenly, the sound of Sword Qi slicing through the air resounded. Along with this sound, those Great Demons imprisoned within the Shadow Wall Cave Heaven fell silent, restraining their demon bodies, curling up...

"Came?"

Lying on a large stone, True Master Jun Shan, with his eyes closed, was lying sprawled out.

Sword Qi wrapped in a breeze slowly descended.

"Senior Jun Shan."

Xie Xuanyi landed with sword control, respectfully calling out.

This is a millennium Forbidden Land of the Taoist Sect, layered with prohibitions, but to Xie Xuanyi... these prohibitions amount to nothing.

As soon as he arrived at the Taoist Sect, Master Xuanzhi sent out a Divine Thought.

Currently, the highest cultivation realm cultivator in the Da Chu Dynasty should be this great true man of the Taoist Sect. After the great battle with Chong Kan, Xuanzhi guarded the Northern Border Great Wall, alternately battling several Demon Country Venerables, eventually raising his realm to the peak of the Sixth Realm, on the verge of entering the Seventh Realm... The reason for not continuing the breakthrough is that Xuanzhi is not interested in cultivation affairs, and after the cessation of the Northern Territory battles, he returned to the Taoist Sect, occasionally going to the Northern Territory to patrol.

Once the Divine Thought touched.

He could see Xie Xuanyi’s realm.

The two Divine Thoughts immediately dissipated upon touching.

Xuanzhi sincerely offered congratulations, and then did not impede, allowing Xie Xuanyi to head towards Tianyuan Mountain... He knew who this Little Xie Sect Leader came to the Taoist Sect to see, and also knew who lived in the direction of Tianyuan Mountain.

"Don’t call me senior."

Jun Shan, still with eyes closed, lazily said, "You’re the renowned Master Xie, the backbone of Da Sui Sword Palace, I cannot bear this term ’senior’ from you."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi felt a bit helpless, just about to speak, when he was once again interrupted by True Master Jun Shan.

"Alright, no need to explain, you didn’t come to find me, don’t disturb my peace."

True Master Jun Shan impatiently extended a finger, pointing to the distance, "That girl is over there."

Xie Xuanyi looked in the direction Jun Shan pointed.

Talismans formed into a cloud well.

Deng Baiyi’s aura was hidden within the Talisman Sea.

"Actually, I have one more question..."

Xie Xuanyi did not immediately move but respectfully spoke again.

He hadn’t told anyone of his return to Da Chu.

This Tianyuan Mountain is isolated from the world.

Tang Fengshu is currently busy dealing with the drunken Chen Jingxuan and should not have the time to send messages.

Therefore...

How did True Master Jun Shan know he would come in advance?

He came here through sword control.

Jun Shan didn’t even lift his eyelids.

"Don’t ask. If you must know, say I saw it in a dream."

True Master Jun Shan grumbled, turning lazily, "That’s enough, I’m going back to sleep."

Xie Xuanyi felt helpless.

He could only leave.

At the Cloud Talisman Sky Well, a graceful figure in a purple Daoist robe sat at the center of the Talisman Sea, the Great Moon hung high, and the moonlight poured down like a waterfall, shining on Deng Baiyi. This "Array Master" who took the path halfway, at this moment, focused all her mind on deciphering the talismans.

Xie Xuanyi’s descent by sword control was not quiet.

But Deng Baiyi, immersed in the dismantling of the array, did not notice at all.

Xie Xuanyi silently arrived beside the Talisman Sea, watching the vertical and horizontal golden lines in the void; Deng Baiyi was disassembling her "Ancient Bronze Text", the inscription had been largely dismantled, progress seemed pleasing... However, Xie Xuanyi knew well that to completely dismantle these thousand-year-old bronze inscriptions, exorbitant time would be required.

If dismantling to 50%, it would take a year.

For 80%, it might take two years.

To reach 90%, possibly five years.

As for completely dismantling, it depends on fate, it could be as quick as ten or twenty years, or it might take a lifetime without completion.

There are many geniuses in this world.

Even Master Ni Yu had tried dismantling, but sadly, despite exhausting heart power, couldn’t finish it.

"Buzz."

A soft sound echoed from the Sword Qi Cave Heaven.

Xie Xuanyi extended two fingers, taking out the fully dismantled Jade Scroll of the Bronze Inscription from his brow.

Coming to Tianyuan Mountain, he was here to deliver this fully dismantled piece to Deng Baiyi.

Of course...

What he had to give, was not just this Bronze Inscription Jade Scroll.

When Master Ni Yu successfully forges the second [Bronze Sword], Xie Xuanyi will also present this sword to Deng Baiyi.

This Bronze Sword, as well as the heritage inscription, is meant to be left to Deng Baiyi.

He did not make a sound to disturb.

Instead, he stood silently by the Talisman Sea, waiting for Deng Baiyi to rest.
