Chapter 35: Brotherhood

Seeing the result of the group trying to woo the lady suffering under her strength, other men having wild ambitions towards her stopped whatever's in their minds. For the ones who are stronger than her however, they clearly know her identity and would rather run around naked in a city than to offend the power behind her.

With the noise starting to settle down once again, two people, one middle-aged man bearing a neat, black-handled sword despite his unkempt appearance, and one fat middle-aged man with critters and small animals gathering around him.

Seeing the two of them, the young cultivators acts as if they saw their idols, some of them shouting the title of the two excitedly, as if kids who saw their heroes.

"Lazy Sword Emperor!! That's the Lazy Sword Emperor!!" Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"My god!!! Am I seeing it right?! Great War Heavenly Buddha!! My idol!!"

"Seeing them, it's fine for me now even if I'm somehow unable to go to the secret realm"

More voices were speaking but the essence of what they are talking about is basically the same, showing how much of an influence this two has over the younger generation, especially the young men.

"Who are those two?" Wu Xiaotian whispers towards Ling Feng, the guy now completely unsurprised by his lack of knowledge regarding everything but cultivation.

"Those two are the Lazy Sword Emperor, ranked fourth in the Heavenly Talent Ranking, and the other one is the Great War Heavenly Buddha, ranked fifth, they're the personification of brotherhood, in normal times, they are like kids bantering and competing about every little things, but they started getting more attention especially from us young men when the incident where the Great War Heavenly Buddha was captured happened" Ling Feng paused for a while as he recalled his father telling him the tales, while telling him how he respects the two despite his level of strength being completely higher than the two, as well as how much he want a brother like that as well.

"Leaving behind his chance to settle an old-time great grievance, Lazy Sword Emperor abandoned his enemy decisively as he heads towards the location of the Heavenly Buddha, leaving behind a path of massacre as he gets further and further down the enemy line"

"The two managed to meet eventually, decimating the enemy's force, coming out completely victorious as they go home while covered in their enemies' blood"

"After that, Great War Heavenly Buddha fade away from the public for years, until one day arriving in front of the city gate where the Lazy Sword Emperor resides, bringing with him a man completely suppressed but without any damage on his body, and that man, was Lazy Sword Emperor's all-time nemesis" he paused before taking out something from his spatial ring.

A round smooth gem that projects holographic image once spirit energy is injected to it, in the image, a fat man standing straight carrying someone in his back, this someone completely wrapped inside something except his nose, looking like an ancient Egyptian mummy.

"Apparently, the reason why the Heavenly Buddha disappears for years is because he found out what the Sword Emperor was doing before coming to his help.

Learning that he gave up the opportunity for revenge despite his nemesis' notoriety for being insanely difficult to find, he decided to set on a journey to catch the Sword Emperor's nemesis, emerging successful years later as he delivered the man unharmed for his brother to personally exact his revenge"

Ling Feng sighed as he finishes the story, the impact of the story to him never lowered since the day his father first told him that.

"Well, there are still a lot of stories regarding the two of them but this one is the greatest, so good and fiction-like that bards and entertainer sung of them oftentimes"

"They're really great people huh…" Wu Xiaotian praised them as he heard their story.

"Indeed, people like them are well received wherever they go" Ling Feng added as he stares towards the two with a fanboy like gaze before adding, "Not to mention they're also geniuses"

"They truly entered the realm of the respectable huh" Wu Xiaotian muttered to himself before continuing, "Man, I wonder when I can get a brother like that"

Hearing this, Ling Feng froze for a bit before shouting, "Hey Su Tian, what about this young master?!"

Wu Xiaotian only replies with a single, "You?" before scrutinizing him head to toes with disdain in his eyes.

"Damn it you bastard, you think you're so much better huh?!" Ling Feng asked as if to make Wu Xiaotian self-reflect, however, he almost chokes on his own saliva when Wu Xiaotian replies with another one word, completely shutting him down

"Indeed" Wu Xiaotian smiled as he rubs his chin while staring upwards, almost as if he's lamenting at his blessed self.

"Fuck!!!" Ling Feng cursed before they stared at each other, pausing awkwardly for a bit before laughing loudly, gathering attention to themselves, other people thinking they must be idiots to act like that.

Eventually, the two masters the two young men were talking about land on the ground and started acting like a complete uncle as they enjoyed themselves interacting with the younger generation, most of them being their fans.

After a bit of a meet and greet, the Heavenly Buddha clears his throat, causing the entire surround to be silent. After doing so, he decided to speak as he first introduces the two of them.

"While most of you young one's already know the two uncles in front of you, let me still introduce ourselves, I am Kong Wu, better known for my title as the Great War Heavenly Buddha, and my buddy here is the Lazy Sword Emperor, Tian Jianshen, well, we're tasked to pick up your group and bring you to the main entrance of the Crescent Moon Secret Realm… I wonder if there will be a problem with that?"

"Nothing sir!!!" majority of the people said altogether enthusiastically, making the two 'uncles' smile as they can feel the vigor this young people have.

"Alright then, the two of us will slow down our pace so try your best to follow kids!!" the Heavenly Buddha said as he starts floating in the air, going towards the trees, skillfully maneuvering, not even hitting so much as a branch.

Meanwhile, the Lazy Sword Emperor's path is more… unique, running across a straight line completely destroying everything that stand in his way by placing a qi barrier ahead of him.

"Must be nice to be young again…" The Lazy Sword Emperor, Tian Jianshen muttered to himself while observing the participants as the two of them guide them toward the secret realm's entrance.

"The only reason why you're envying them is because you're lazy and sloppy, making you seem older than you currently is" the Great War Heavenly Buddha replied to him.

"Kong Wu! You better shut that fat mouth of yours before I fuck you up" Tian Jianshen threatened but the fat man was just unperturbed.

"Oh… I'm so scared…." Kong Wu said with his voice as monotonous as possible, further annoying the Lazy Sword Emperor.

The two continued bantering all while the participants who are going to enter the secret realm was following them, not caring even a bit about their dignity and face.

If these young people didn't saw records of their triumphs together, or if their elders never told them their stories, they would definitely believe that these two were mortal enemies, rather than brothers who shared life and death together.
